THE ESCAPED BRIDE ESCAPED
56. The Five Months

"What about your search? It's been four months! Find my wife soon! I'm sure he's alive. I'm holding Sandra, who I believe has a connection to the kidnapper!"

Arjuna's voice sounded impatient in his phone conversation. After turning off the phone, his face grew cloudy. He's very troubled now. Looking for Gayatri in every spare time he might have, in addition to taking care of the company left behind by God.

"Boss, there was a call from the apartment manager. Reminds me that Pak Dewa's apartment rental limit is only a month away. If you want to be extended, you have to pay the rent. If not, then the goods there must be strung up."

Luna's phone added to the burden of her mind. It's not that he can't pay the rent for that apartment. Why is he throwing away free money? The gods are gone.

"Say I'll take care of things there before the deadline comes" Arjuna said.

"Good, Boss." Luna still gave a job report before their conversation came to a halt.

Arjuna drove his car to the God's apartment. He wanted to check some of the Gods personal matters, before handing over the packing and shipping process to the courier.

Carefully check the tables and shelves in the living room and room. Put all the files and papers that God keeps in the box.

"Check it out later," her inner self as she continued to open all the drawers in the closet and took out the contents.

That afternoon's clean-up resulted in two boxes of instant noodles containing personal items of Gods. Things he thought he had to bring himself. Included in it are several collections of watches and tie tongs belonging to the Gods.

After checking up to twice, Arjuna sure, there is no more important difference left. He locked the apartment door and walked out with two boxes in his hand.

The next day at the office.

"Luna, try to find a shipping company that can simultaneously pack the goods," Arjuna ordered.

"Good, Boss. Which stuff do you want to pack?" ask Luna.

"The one in the God's apartment. Send it to my house."

"Good, Boss." Luna immediately looked for a shipping company that was willing to all pack the goods moving house.

The search for Gayatri did not yield satisfactory results. It was as if they were being directed to go around in circles.

"I think what we're doing right now is being monitored and laughed at by the kidnapper!" furious Arjuna when receiving lapora from the person he paid looking for Aya.

The brown-haired man thought and nodded his head. "I'm sorry for my inability" he said.

"That guy is so smart!" Arjuna was focused on his thoughts.

The brown-haired man listened carefully.

"Then he'll do the opposite of a habit!" said Arjuna again.

"You mean, the kidnapper probably didn't hide your wife far away?" ask the private detective.

"What do you think? Is that possible?" Arjuna looked back at his guest.

"That's possible, even if it feels impossible. Didn't you already make the newscast lose in the media. It's very risky for him to hide a kidnap victim close to the victim's residential area."

Arjuna shook his head to argue that assumption. However, his guest immediately connected the sentence.

"Again, the police and I checked the city. I didn't find anything suspicious at all."

"Did they kill him?" hissing Arjuna while pressing the head with both hands.

"There's something we haven't checked yet" the detective said.

"What's that?" Arjuna seemed to have a new glimmer of hope.

"It's gonna be very expensive, boss." The man reminded.

"Tell me!" ketus Arjuna was impatient.

"Search to another island, or maybe abroad. We haven't examined that possibility.

"Non-neighborhood? Where'd the kidnapper take him?"

Arjuna is getting sluggish because the search location is getting wider. That's gonna make it harder.

"I don't know where yet. Must check the exit of this city, both sea and air," he said.

"good. You seek. It costs you nothing to think about!" arjuna said full of hope.

One week was missed again. Arjuna is at a breaking point. Her mother-in-law was admitted to the hospital due to a decrease in her condition due to being too sad.

"It's your butler's receipt, right?" the paper was shown Luna to the front of Arjuna.

The man read the recipient's name and nodded. "Have you finished the payment?"

"Already, Boss." Luna nodded.

"Well, you finish your job, then you can go home." Arjuna stood up from his seat.

"Where are you going, boss?"

Want to look at his mother Aya in the hospital," said the man as he stepped away.

"Have you found him?" lirih Bu Ajeng to his son-in-law.

Arjuna. "It's been the fifth month, ma'am. What if Aya turns out to be dead?" ask Arjuna.

"Don't despair. Mami was sure she was still alive," the woman muttered.

"Lau, why is my mother sick if she is sure that Ma'am Aya is still alive?" Radit astonishment.

"Don't know. Mami was worried that Aya was sick right now. Who's gonna take care of him?" mami getir.

"Mom sure Aya's alive?" Arjuna asked again. He wants to strengthen his heart.

"Yes! My mom doesn't know why. But this time my feelings were strong. It is likely that Aya often remembers mami as well," Bu Ajeng assured Arjuna. He wanted the man to stay strong, in order to continue looking for Arjuna.

"He must be taken to the hospital, sir!" the man in the waiter's clothes, talking on the phone.

"I'll go there and bring the gynecologist. Stay there!" The sound of the conversation ended. The waiter stared at his phone with mixed feelings.

"How's it?" Another servant asked with a worried look.

"We can only wait for the doctor you brought, come and check. Now, go back to your post and try to keep him alive!" strict orders. And then it goes from there.

The other waiter stared at his friend's back in disbelief. How do you defend people's lives? He's not a doctor. He's just a clean-up waitress in that villa.

"Boss doesn't make sense. Make a woman pregnant until such depression!" clearly he wasn't too happy with his boss's actions of locking up Gayatri.

"Hey, you! Come here quickly!" the dark-bodied guards scattered his daydream.

"Yes!" the man's servant met the guard. "What's wrong?" tanyanya.

"You clean it up inside. I heard he kept throwing up in the room!" abugn.

"Oh, my goodness ...." The waiter ran to the kitchen and came back with a bucket and mop in hand.

"How are you feeling right now, Madam," he asked kindly.

It feels like dying!" answer Gayatri perfunctorily.

"Don't be like that, ma'am. You should be more excited, in order to meet again with the family," said the waiter.

"You're sure I'll be home safe? I feel that your master will kill me if everything is not pleasing in his eyes." said Aya cynically,

"Master isn't like that, Missus." The servant still defended his master.

"Your room is clean again. I'm going outside. Do you want anything? I'll bring you at dinner, whatever you want" he promised.

"I don't want anything!" ketus Gayatri is upset.

"Look at. I'll sue your master for a very big indemnity, after being released!" gayatri's scream echoed in the corridor of the villa.
