Waiting for Love to Return

Waiting for Love to Return
Kia Shoes Near the River


Andra's stale message sent by direct massage, five minutes, ten minutes, one hour wait. The next day he got a reply.


Friend Kia: Sorry Brother Andra, I don't know. Last night Om Arga also came here. He said he was looking for Kia. But Kia didn't come to my house, sister.


Andra was stunned to read a reply to a message from Kia's friend. Chests rumbling. He immediately contacted both of his parents. Connected but not lifted. It was intentionally ignored.


Oh, my God, Andra's freaking out. He checks his dissertation exam schedule. His heart was getting more troubled, besides because there was nothing to contact he also did not get permission to leave.


"Aaarrrrrggggg,"


A series of messages he sent to both his parents. Hope the peacock will be there to retaliate.


"Mam, please tell me that the news I heard is wrong."


"Mam, tell me Kia's with you."


"Mommy please, tell Kia it's okay."


"Bapi, I heard Kia's missing. Tell me the news is undaunted."


"Pi, please pick up the call from me."


Bimo's house phone was unceasingly ringing yet no one dared to lift. They seem to know that the one who called was Andra.


He went back to the campus. Re-apply permission but must leave empty-handed.


Inexhaustible, Andra contacted his friends.


"Seriously, Ndra? How come I didn't hear any news?" ask Sandi when contacted by Andra.


"Maybe they're covering this up from me. San, I need your help right now. Help me find out about this news. If really Kia is missing I will try to return as soon as possible.


"Quiet, Bro. No need for grasak-grusuk. The matter of Kia here will be the business of me and the other children. You finish your education, it's only a few months away, right?


" Yes,Thanks, Bro."


"Ok, I'll call them first, I'll update again."


Andra slumped to the floor and leaned her head against the wall of the house. It feels like he's the worst human being when he can't do anything for the person he loves.


"Hhhhhhaaaaaaaarrrrggg" Once again he shouted. Angry annoyance, worry and longing mixed into one.


Apparently this was the answer to his anxiety yesterday.

Leela took the time to go home because Shafia said Leo was fussy. She tells Shepa that she refuses to do anything but cry.


"She Brother came home for a while. Leo tantrum, pity the people of the house. Aren't you gonna be left for a minute?"


"Father, Brother. There's Kai, " replied Shepa slowly. Body's limp. In addition to continuing to cry thinking about Kia, there is also no food intake that enters the body. He refused to eat.

"Keep saying what? Brother Andra didn't know about Kia, did he?"


"No, Mam. Papi has already caught up with us. That's Kia how the hell is the story mam can be lost?"


"Mam? Did kia meet?" ask Shafia who just came out of the room and join in.


"Yet. Papi same others are still trying to find."


"The technology has been sophisticated, if you forget you do not track Kia's phone," said Kean.


"Smartwach too? He wears it a lot" Shafia said.


Leela shook her head while giving Kean milk. Not milk anymore but formula milk.


"So, did Kean ask his classmates?" ask Shafia.


"Newly some. You see, I don't know all the kids from Kia's age. But if his close friends say they don't know."


"So weird, yes, technology is sophisticated, smart and smart people are paid by Arga are also many but still do not meet." Shafia monologue.


The phone rings not just once. They exchanged lyrics but Leela forbade lifting them.


"What if it was Kia" said Kean, who was tired of hearing the house phone ringing.


"No, it must be your brother." Leela shows a series of messages from Andra that she deliberately ignored. "I think he heard this news. This is what my mom says don't let your sister know. Now he must be trying to get home."


"Keep how dong. Poor Brother Andra, Mam. He must be worried."


"We wait for Papi to speak. Brother Andra will listen more to papi when panicking than we."


After Maghrib, Leela and her children return to Arga's house. Encourage the sister to pass her test.


Kai immediately sows into Shafia's arms when he sees his cousin coming. Leela went to Shepa's room. Replace, Kean was told to look after Leo.


"Mom hasn't eaten yet?" leela asked one of the waiters who was delivering new food to her employer.


"From that moment on, Mom."


Leela nodded and took over the food. Allowing the waiter to leave.


"She, eat first!" Shepa shook his head. "One spoon. What Kia needed right now was a prayer from her mother. If you're like this how we're gonna pray for her safety."


"How can I eat while I don't know how Kia is. He's either safe or not."


"The inner strength of mother and child is strong, She. Try to get up so that there is strength for Kia there too. If you are sick how will you give inner strength to Kia. He needs it now."


After being persuaded finally three tablespoons of food can enter Shepa's body.

Arga and Bimo stopped by the mosque when the adzan magrib roared. Requesting safety instructions for Kia.


Rabb, my daughter is yours. I leave him to you. Protect him wherever he is. Give us a clue to pick her up to reunite with her mother.


Arga rubbed his face after praying and stared at the ceiling of the mosque. He also checked his phone but still no news.


Bimo's cell phone vibrated, Arga and Bimo exchanged lyrics. They immediately came out of the mosque to answer the call.


"Have you found Kia?" ask Bimo when the call is connected.


"No, Sir. But we found a shoe next to the one you showed. I sent the picture. Are those the victim's shoes?"


Bimo and Arga exchanged lyrics when they saw a photo of a shoe similar to Kia's.


"Yes it belongs to my son. Where'd you find those shoes." Arga takes over the talk.


"200m from the river, sir. Please come here to make sure."


The river?


Both of them rushed towards the location sent by their paid person.


"We just found this next door. It could be that your daughter is the victim of a crime and is running away, so these shoes come off next door."
