Not the Dumpster-in-law
Bram Disappears

"Duh, where the hell is he? Why can't it be connected, anyway?!"

From earlier Endang muttered furiously. He's been pissed off on his own with his cool phone since yesterday. There was no ringtone phone call or message notification that he was waiting for, namely from Bram who usually enliven his phone at all times.

"Let's not make a fuss or I'll hit you!" endang yelled annoyed with sharp bulging eyes, as if his eyeballs were ready to jump out.

It was his habit if he was in this state of annoyance, Abiyasa who would be the target of his frustration. And now, Abiyasa is also a month-long annoyance Endang because his lover can not be contacted and has not contacted him since two days ago.

Currently Abiyasa is having his own breakfast, because Ajeng has left for campus early. He said there was a sudden important assignment that was just announced this morning.

Abiyasa still feeds the food he eats like before, the spoon collides with the plate so that it makes a noise. Abiyasa also chewed his food with a voice, regardless of the words of his mother-in-law who was angry.

"Pig! Ah, what the hell is the point of you?!"

"Basic stupid! it just makes it hard!"

Finished berating Abiyasa, Endang entered his room by slamming the door while closing it.

Brakkkk

Abiyasa was shocked, but did not move from where he ate. She let her mother-in-law enjoy her own sense of impact, as she was used to her mother-in-law's behavior.

"Emang dicuekin girlfriend! hehehe. It could be, in Bram have a new girlfriend who needs attention or it could also turn out to have a family. It's weird that my mother-in-law is."

Abiyasa muttered alone while smilingly enjoying his food. She did not care about anything that happened to her in-laws, who were always furious and could not be nice to her.

Inside his room, Endang tries to contact some of his friends who know Bram.

..."Hey, Anton. Do you know anything about Bram? I've been trying to reach him since yesterday but I can't."...

..."No, I don't know. Have you tried contacting Bram's other friends?"...

..."I've had a few people call, but they don't know either. I'm afraid he's hurt or fucked. Do you know, where he usually is if he is feeling sad or is in a state of not okay, for example have a problem or how?"...

..."I don't know. At most he just goes to the club or goes along with Alex."...

..."Oh, well. Thank you, yes. Please let me know if you find out anything about her situation."...

Endang let out a long sigh when he finished making a call with his tongkrong friend Bram. He couldn't find any clues about his missing girlfriend.

With some of Bram's friend's numbers he has, Endang again tries to ask to find out Bram's whereabouts.

..."Hi, have you seen Bram in these two days? I tried to contact him but there was no response at all. Even her phone number is off."...

..."No, I didn't see it. Maybe he's busy with his job."...

..."No way, because usually he always tells me if he's busy with his job. I'm really worried about the situation."...

..."Try calling through his family or make a report to the police, because it's been 2 days. That means it's been twice 24 hours."...

Endang began to think with his friend's proposal just now. He never knew the family of his young girlfriend, so there was no way he would have found out through them. The only way is to report it to the police, to be registered in the search for missing persons.

But it looks like Endang hasn't given up. He tries to contact Alex, but Alex doesn't know about Bram either. Even Alex himself is also looking for the whereabouts of Bram from yesterday.

..."Hi, did you see Bram in his office today? I tried to contact him but there was no response."...

..."No, I didn't see it. Maybe he has a meeting outside the office or is he sick? He's a field worker like he doesn't have to go into an office to work."...

..."No, he usually tells me if he goes out of town or has other activities. I'm really worried about her situation."...

Endang who began to worry about the state of his girlfriend, began to think about contacting the police to report missing people, just like the proposal from his friend earlier.

"It seems I did have to report it to the police station in order for there to be an attempt at a wider search."

After deciding to go to the police station, Endang searched for Abiyasa's whereabouts. He'll take his daughter-in-law for a travel buddy. He can also use Abiyasa as a place to vent his frustration and anger, if later he is angry and upset on the way.

"Pig! Quickly wash your hands and wash your face, then change clothes better. Come with mama!" Endang gave the order.

"Come? where's it?"

Abiyasa asked by tilting his head, similar to idiots in general. She should be able to act well when she is in front of her mother-in-law.

***

Arriving at the police station, Endang dragged Abiyasa to enter the guard room. He will make a report, by filling out the guest list that reports first.

"You sit here first, yeah! Watch out, don't go anywhere!"

Endang's eyes glared perfectly, while sitting Abiyasa in the long chair as a seat to wait.

Endang who had stood up and wanted to leave Abiyasa, silently stared when he heard the voice of the woman who was making a report to the police officers who were standing guard.

The woman mentions Bram's name completely, exactly like the characteristics possessed by her boyfriend as well. But the woman mentioned her identity as Bram's wife, which means, Endang was just Bram's affair all along.

Endang's eyes were already teary hearing all the reports of the woman. He had never investigated Bram's status from the very beginning.

Abiyasa himself also heard the woman's voice, then turned his gaze toward his mother-in-law. He smiled inwardly at what happened to the woman who always snapped at him under any circumstances.

Endang is shocked and disappointed to learn that Bram is married and has a wife he never knew before. Endang also hesitated to continue his plan, reporting Bram's disappearance to the police after learning that Bram had married someone else, as it could cause problems and conflict with Bram's wife. He felt uneasy and confused about how to deal with this situation.

Seeing everything that happened to this Endang, Abiyasa just smiled. But he was also curious, where Bram is now.

'If he is not home with his wife, where is he?' ask Abiyasa in heart.

"Come, we're home!"

Abiyasa's hand was forcibly pulled, then dragged outside from inside the police station. Endang did not report on Bram's disappearance, because someone had reported it. And that's Bram's own legal wife.

While waiting for a taxi, Abiyasa accidentally nudged a man who was near a stop at the police station. He got a retreated vision that the man was the Bram murderer. Abiyasa is puzzled by his newfound powers, with these strange and startling visions.

Abiyasa felt a power he had never felt before, which he later called psychometry. This power allows him to see the past of a person or thing.

Abiyasa felt very confused and afraid of this new power. He might feel surprised by what happened and wonder how this power could appear in him. He felt a little frightened by his psychometric abilities because he did not know how to control it or how it would affect his life later.

'What's this? And what does that guy have to do with Bram? Who the hell is he? What the hell's going on?' Abiyasa wondered to himself in his heart.
