Dusk At the End Please
Extra Part 16: I've finally found you (1)


When it was eleven o'clock at night, Akhtar and Fauzan were still circling around the square and rolling. Asked everyone who was still opening their eyes and scavenging for his sustenance, hoping they had seen Shanum in the area. Having previously entered every store that was still open and asked for goods the time his wife had come to the store. Not to forget the sellers of various snacks in the area of the road that operates from afternoon until all night did not escape from its interrogation.


Ghifar and Liani who came directly from Bandung after getting information from Akhtar if Shanum disappeared was no less panicked, they combed Garut Bayongbong-city road by slowing down the speed of his car, he said, stop every look there are people on the move and ask by showing a photo of Shanum. I wish they had seen him all day.


The city's still-operating transport was stopped by Fauzan, showing a photo of Shanum perhaps having boarded the city transport they were driving.


While Ahsan who got news from Ghifar that night also slid into Garut with Pak Furqan who was with him at that time. Mr. Furqan brought two of his confidants to help with Shanum's search.


"Wa'alaikumsalam, where's Bro?" Ahsan contacted Akhtar while they were still on their way. Reply to the greeting and immediately ask the whereabouts of Akhtar after his call is connected and get an answer from across the phone with a greeting in a lethargic voice and sounding desperate.


"Akhtar in front of Garut's great mosque, Father" Ahsan also increased the speed of his vehicle, followed by Pak Furqan's black pajero driven by two of his confidants.


They finally met, Akhtar looked extremely chaotic.


"Bro, no news yet?" ahsan asked as he got down from the parked car right next to Akhtar's car which was leaning on the car door with a focused gaze on his screen, hoping Shanum would call him right away.


Akhtar answered Ahsan's question with a sluggish head, switched from his dress and received the embrace of the father who was walking in front of Ahsan.


"Calm down, we will find your wife soon" whispered Mr. Furqan in Akhtar's ear as they hugged,


Akhtar again nodded weakly, the tears that he had been holding back since he could not stand anymore. His shoulders were shaken, he hid his cries behind the arms of his father. Mr. Furqan lets Akhtar vent his emotions, he knows how much his son loves Shanum. Mr. Furqan rubbed Akhtar's back giving peace to his only son.


"Assalamu'alaikum" Akhtar and Mr. Furqan unraveled their embrace when someone came in greeting, saying hello,


"Wa'alaikumsalam" in unison all answered and turned to the source of the voice, except Akhtar who was still bowed trying to remove traces of tears on his cheeks.


"Bro, I'm sorry. No news yet?" Tama, the newly arrived man was Tama. He was in Garut, Tama came home one day before Akhtar from Malaysia went straight to Garut because there is a foundation event that must be attended. Initially sending a message to Akhtar asking about his return, Akhtar also explained the existence of himself who is currently looking for his wife. Tama was shocked and also worried to hear about the disappearance of Shanum, especially he knew if the girl he had once been expecting was pregnant.


"Have you called the police?" ask her to Akhtar,


"Police can't act, my wife's disappearance is new in a matter of hours. So the reports are not yet acceptable" Akhtar replied in a slightly raucous voice.


"Where's chronology? do you have a shadow of a place he often visits? maybe he was in that place" Tama asked again, trying to analyze the incident, and then,


Akhtar also recounted the events of Shanum's departure based on information he heard from Indri, Shanum's cousin.


"Do you have enemies? business competition maybe?" tanya Tama shook the minds of everyone who was there, Mr. Furqan to stop his activities who were contacting his acquaintances on the police. He was reminded of Sopia, that he might be the mastermind behind Shanum's disappearance, Mr. Furqan thought.


"I mean you?" Akhtar looked up, though,


"Yes, maybe there are your business rivals who are envious because of the rapid development of your business, it is not strange in the business world if there are some people who justify everything" explained Tama,


"Bro" sidelines Ahsan who had just listened, staring at Akhtar. Everyone's eyes were on him.


"Raina" Ahsan who suddenly recalled the incident of Shanum's kidnapping a few years ago also reflexively mentioned Raina's name.


Akhtar and everyone who was there were staring at Ahsan. At the same time, a white mobilio driven by Ghifar with Liani stopped.


Liani came out first, accompanied by Ghifar behind her. Ahsan's gaze even turned towards Liani who had come with Ghifar. Surprised, seeing the girl being here and with Ghifar.


"Sorry Boss, our search is nil. None of the people we questioned along the way had ever seen Shanum Tea" Ghifar gave a report, standing before Akhtar shortly after greeting everyone who was there. While Liani only cupped her hands together in front of her chest, nodding towards Pak Furqan and Akhtar. So did Ahsan, Liani did the same but she avoided bumping into eye contact with the man. Liani is able to control herself, keep her distance from men who have overturned her feelings for several months.


Ahsan felt that if there was something different from Liani, it had been a few months that they rarely met and even sent messages rarely. Ahsan busy because of the affairs of the foundation and company really seize all the attention and time, so there is no time or opportunity even just to ask news through whatsapp application.


These few months Ahsan was indeed very busy, he had a target that he had to achieve in a matter of months. The trust that Mr. Furqan had given him really did not want him to waste, with all the potential and passion that Ahsan had was really determined to make the foundation and the company more advanced. But unfortunately the plan was only him who knew, he did not even realize some of the things that Liani used to display for Ahsan had now completely disappeared.


Ahsan stared intently at Liani, everyone still discussing the strategy to be pursued in Shanum's next quest. Everyone conveys every speculation they have in mind.


Many possibilities that could be the cause of the disappearance of Shanum, Liani also spoke to convey all the data he managed to collect from various events. Their last communication while Akhtar was still in Malaysia. The topic discussed between Liani and Shanum was one of the new numbers that went into Shanum's number leaving a trail of missed calls.


Shanum did ignore the number, did not call her back and completely ignored her. But Liani thought it could be the number of someone involved in Shanum's current abduction.


Everyone seems to argue, give ideas and input so that the steps taken are not wrong. But not with Ahsan, his mind was split. The change in attitude of the girl who was in front of him also managed to shift his focus. He was more interested in observing Liani's every move, examining what actually changed from the girl.


"What do you think, Bro?" akhtar's question managed to make Ahsan flutter, though,


"Huh?" Ahsan seemed confused as to what to answer, because he did not know what they were talking about because his attention was only focused on Liani.


"Kdk.." Akhtar also clucked to see the response of his friend and cousin, Akhtar knew that Ahsan had only been looking at Liani. His heart muttered "labile basics", he said in his heart.


Ahsan was still unable to control himself, his mind was now filled about Liani's changing attitude towards him, wondering why it wasn't as warm as it used to be. Even until they will return home, Liani is still in jaim mode on Ahsan. Creating a real distance with the man, and Ahsan felt it.


By midnight, life was not even visible along the streets. After persuading Akhtar who still wanted to continue looking for Shanum, they decided to return to Mr. Imran's house while waiting for information from Mr. Furqan's men to keep looking for the whereabouts of his son-in-law.


Tired, restless, worried and sad to adorn Akhtar's face, he walks around the car to sit beside the wheel because the car will be carried by Fauzan, his sister-in-law.


Derrrt. Her eyes rounded to find the name my lovely wife adorning the screen of her dress,


"Hallo, honey. You where?" even forgot to answer the greeting from the end of the phone, with panim Akhtar to the point asking for the whereabouts of Shanum who was allegedly the person who called him.


Everyone would enter their respective cars, but were stopped with a sufficient scream of Akhtar in the ears due to the quiet atmosphere in the middle of the night while receiving a phone call. They also undo his intention to enter the car, Mr. Furqan who had been sitting sweetly in his car again opened the door and went out to his son.


The us..Assalamu'alaikum" a woman's voice said a greeting on the phone, but Akhtar's forehead shriveled feeling that it was not his wife's voice.


"Sister, it's Yasmin. Shanum is with me now. We're at the hospital in Wanaraja district, it looks like Shanum's sister is about to give birth" the caller continued, he explained who he was when there was no sound from the other end of the phone as if he understood that Akhtar was analyzing his voice.


Yasmin even spoke quickly, panicking and fear mixed into one making her voice tremble. She did not care about Akhtar's anger because of her actions, which is important that now her sister-in-law and the baby are safe.


"I'm sorry brother, I can explain. Now Shanum is in desperate need of big brother, you better come quickly and bring all the maternity equipment. I'll share the location" quickly Yasmin interjected Akhtar, she was more worried about Shanum's current state. Regarding Akhtar who will be angry or even hate him after this he will only resign because he realizes it is his fault.


"Hurry up!" akhtar shouted at the other end of the phone without asking further chronological whereabouts of his wife with Yasmin at the hospital, making Yasmin disconnect her call and immediately send the location of her current whereabouts.


"Shanum is in the hospital, I'm going there now" Akhtar said quickly after the phone connection was cut, walking around the car about to get in and sitting behind the wheel with his tense face.


"Bro" Ghifar, Ahsan and Tama simultaneously called out to him, about to remind him not to bring the car to see his chaotic condition worry.


"Aa, I'd better get in and sit quietly, let me take the car" seeing Akhtar, Fauzan immediately took the initiative. He held onto the arm of his sister-in-law who was about to step up and again lead him in the previous direction.


"Calm down, son" Mr. Furqan chimed in.


Ting.notification of the re-entry message stopped Akhtar's steps, the location of the hospital where Shanum was located had also been pocketed.


"This" Akhtar thrust out his salary, revealing a screen that contained the location of the hospital where Shanum was located.


"I knew the hospital was A, in Wanaraja" Fauzan became the first to respond, he knew the location of the hospital well, his friend even worked there.


Being in Garut has been almost a year, making Fauzan increased friends and relatives, he is a person who is supple, easy to get along with and cool to talk to. No wonder if his recent presence in Garut, making him already have many friends and acquaintances.


"Dad also knew the place" Pak Furqan said later after clearly seeing the location Yasmin had sent. Akhtar passed and immediately entered his car, sitting beside the wheel. Beside him Fauzan was ready to start the car.


"Ghifar" Akhtar reopened his car and got off,


"Ya Boss" Ghifar who had opened the car door again closed it and immediately approached Akhtar.


"Lu better get to the furniture, please bring all the maternity supplies. I don't know what it is, as I remember Shanum had everything ready in our room" Akhtar reached into his wallet, he took out a card-shaped key which he always held in reserve and handed it to Ghifar. Until now Akhtar and Shanum still live on the second floor of furniture at Shanum's wishes.


"Yes" Akhtar said again to stop Ghifar who had turned around.


"Yes boss?" his question was to ascertain what Akhtar wanted.


"Lo can go with Liani, maybe she knows better what is needed when going to give birth and also the baby equipment. Liani, can you help, right?" turn towards Liani,


"Yes, Sir. God willing can" Liani replied with a nod of her head.


They both passed, entering Ghifar's car, as well as Akhtar's car driven by Fauzan. While Mr. Furqan and Ahsan had been in the car and waiting.


Ahsan watched all the movements of Liani, until the girl entered the car and sat at the wheel with Ghifar, passing in the opposite direction to Akhtar and Ahsan's car. It was clear to him that Liani smiled looking happy after chatting with Ghifar before entering the car. I don't know what the two men were talking about.


Ahsan's view is still not separated from the car driven by Ghifar, he still sees it from the rearview of the car next to the wheel until it is no longer visible because the car they ride each increasingly away from each other.


Less than thirty minutes two cars that Akhtar and Pak Furqan were riding in were parked in the hospital parking lot.


Akhtar immediately got out of the car, he ran towards the ER followed by Fauzan and Pak Furqan and Ahsan. Spreading his gaze looking for a figure he recognized but did not find.


Akhtar then walked quickly towards the information table that was in the room. Asking about the patient who was about to give birth on behalf of Shanum. He ran in the direction indicated by the hospital staff, followed by Fauzan, Pak Furqan and Ahsan.


The hallway of the hospital bore witness to how worried the father-to-be looked, only this time everyone close to Akhtar saw a tense and worried face.


During this time Akhtar is the person who is most good at managing emotions, his face always looks calm no matter how much trouble he is facing. Looking for a solution to every problem he faces to make the right decision. But not for this time, everything disappeared there was a tense and anxious face. He can't even think clearly.


Akhtar walked towards the four girls who looked very anxious, and Akhtar recognized one of them. Yasmin, sister


"Aa" Yasmin exclaimed as she saw Akhtar getting closer towards her. His face was increasingly seen pias saw Akhtar who was fluttering with his flat face.


"Where's my wife?" akhtar asked coldly, staring intently at the sister. Akhtar believes that something has happened to his wife because of them,


"Tea.tehc...Shanum's inside, the doctor's still checking" Yasmin answered Akhtar's question. His body even trembled, his heart pounding fiercely. For the first time he found his brother showing his anger.


"Ghifar..." Akhtar called his friend and assistant,


"Yes Boss" Ghifar replied and approached Akhtar,


"Mistake them!" akhtar's edict was stern, increasingly making the guts of anyone who heard it, especially Yasmin and his friends.


"Mother Yasmin and her friends please come with me" Ghifar understood what his boss meant, and he led the four girls out of the waiting room.


"Father" Yasmin's eyes glazed over as they crossed paths with Mr. Furqan,


"Yasmine?" Mr. Furqan was shocked to see Yasmin's whereabouts in the hospital,


"Why is it here?" tanyakene,


"Dad, i....." Yasmin could not answer, fear spread throughout her body when she saw the man who was considered the best father was now in front of her.


"Please Ms. Yasmin, come with me" Ghifar again instructed, asking Mr. Furqan for permission with the look in his eyes.


Mr. Furqan also seemed to nod lightly, he held onto Yasmin's shoulder and nodded his head in order to follow Ghifar.


"Dad, forgive me.hiks...." Yasmin rushed into Mr Furqan's arms with an unbearable cry.


"Follow with Ghifar, get everything done well, you're all grown up now" Mr. Furqan unraveled his embrace and rubbed Yasmin's head affectionately.
