The Story of Cilla: Love in Marriage
Missing 2

Cilla is seen slumped after 1 month of the disappearance of Reza, her husband. Still living with his parents in a mansion they rented, Hardi's father continues to dig up information from detectives he hired. Even Hardi's father told his men to intervene, but all of them still found a dead end.

A doctor came with Sarah's mother, entered Cilla's room and saw Cilla lying on the bed with an empty view, her body looks weak and no spirit at all.

" Cilla, mother brought a doctor for you." Sarah sat next to her daughter. Cilla just kept silent not answering her mother's words, just glanced for a moment and stared blankly back.

The doctor examined his weak pulse in his hand, seeing dry lips and dull looking skin and an unpowered body.

" It looks like your daughter is malnourished, does your daughter eat and drink less?" ask the doctor after checking on Cilla.

" Well, doctor, since her husband went missing, my daughter has had a hard time eating, even drinking just a little. Even if forced, he would be angry. I'm so worried about seeing it." Mother Sarah looks very worried about Cilla.

" Alright, I will attach an infusion of vitamins containing food cider. And I will prescribe appetite-boosting drugs and try to eat nutritious foods, especially fruits and vegetables. Drink lots of water, please try not to happen something to your daughter's health."

" Good doctor."

The doctor also put the infusion on Cilla's hand, there was no reaction to Cilla who was just silent. After finishing and giving a piece of prescription drug paper, the doctor paid his respects. Sarah also drove up to the front door of Cilla's room and then Rio, Hardi's secretary who drove up to the taxi.

" Dear, drink. Mother does not want you why, Reza also will not be happy if you get sick like this." Mother Sarah helps Cilla to drink.

" You need to be healthy, so you can find your husband.." Added Mother Sarah.

" When will Reza meet? I miss him so much." Tears came out of both eyes, Cilla cried again and Mother Sarah hugged her.

" We must continue to pray for Reza, I also keep trying relentlessly to find Reza. So, you have to be healthy and eat well."

Cilla was getting tighter hugging her, long enough for them to hug. Then Mother Sarah peeled an apple and cut it to a few small parts, Mother Sarah gave a small piece of the apple to Cilla. Although lazy, Cilla ended up eating the apple slowly. Mother Sarah also smiled because finally Cilla was willing to eat even though only a little.

Adrian and Elya were sitting on a sofa located at the end of the cafe where they met.

" I'm sorry, I've been ignoring you lately." Adrian held both palms of Elya.

" Why should I apologize? I also understand your current situation, I'm fine as long as one day Reza meets. You just focus on Reza's search, so there's no need to apologize like this." Elya smiled faintly at Adrian.

" Thank you dear... I promise, if Reza is found, I will take you for a walk, I will spend a lot of time with you. So I hope you can understand for now." Adrian said enthusiastically.

" Yes, I will definitely continue to be beside you, I wait for your promise." Reply Elya.

" How's the Reza case going?" Elya and Adrian asked.

" I don't know yet, especially now that papa's condition has weakened again after hearing Reza disappear! I don't know where else to look." Adrian was giving up.

" But right, the Cilla family is also looking for Reza, maybe they have more connections because of Hardi's power."

" Yes, you're right. I just hope Reza's found out soon."

" Yes, I hope so too. I couldn't bear to see Cilla who was so devastated, especially the last time I saw Cilla. She looked thin and unwell, perhaps the inner pressure she received would be to lose her husband."

" You see him again, comfort him, I don't want my sister-in-law to be sick either."

" Of course, tomorrow I'm planning to meet Cilla. When we eat, you also have to eat a lot. I don't want you to get sick." Elya.

They finally ate their lunch, it looks Adrian is not too appetite and eat only little by little, that makes Elya very worried about his lover.

A man was sitting in a chair holding a glass containing a drink. Then a woman approached him and sat on the man's lap. The woman kissed the cheek of the man she was sitting on and smiled sweetly in love, the woman grabbed the glass that the man was holding and placed it on the table in front of her. After that he embraced the man and kissed his lips slowly, again his sweet smile adorned his fragrant lips.

" You've always been spoiled like this!" Say the Man.

" I miss you." The woman hugged the man again.

" We live under one roof and almost every time we meet, yet you stay like this." The man wrapped his left hand around her waist.

" Because I love you, don't you like it?"

" Hussst.... Don't talk like that, I really like your spoiled attitude." The man put his index finger on the woman's lips and the woman opened her mouth and took a slow bite on the man's finger.

" You?" Said the man in a high tone in surprise.

The woman just smiled mischievously and then she got out of the man's lap and took his bag.

" Where are you going?" Ask the Man.

" I have to go to the office, Dady I've been waiting." The woman immediately left the man who did not stop looking at her.

Before going out, the woman gave a kiss bye and a flirtatious blink of an eye, the man just smiled at the woman's behavior.

Hardi's father's phone rang apparently a call from the detective he paid for.

( Conversations in English. )

Hardi: Yes, Mr. Is there any new news?

Hardi got the video, and then he saw the video without turning off his phone call.

Hardi: Right? That's Reza, have you guys tracked him down? Like where did they go after that and the car they used?

Detective: We got the car number and we tracked it down but it was a rental vehicle with a fake license plate. We will continue to do our best to investigate this case.

Hardi: (He sighed in disappointment) Alright, please find out again, we've already spent a month. Please give us some good news soon.

Detective: All right, Mr. I'll let you know if there's any news.

After that Hardi's father's phone rang again, it was a call from his secretary, Rio.

Hardi: Hello Rio! Is there any information you got? Did you also find Reza's whereabouts?

Rio : Sorry sir, when it comes to Reza, I have not got any information back. But one of our agents saw Tiffany was at the night club in the XX area in Melbourne. Maybe if you follow him, you'll get a lead.

Hardi: Keep following, may he direct us to where Reza is.

Rio: Good sir! They are currently following him and Tiffany is not alone, she is with a man wearing a hat and black clothes so that his face is not clear.

Hardi: Good, I wait for the good news.

Rio: Good sir! I'll call you back as soon as possible.

Mother Sarah brought a cup of coffee for her husband and saw her husband's restless behavior.

" What's up, dad? Any word from Rio?" Mother Sarah sat on the sofa and put her coffee glass on the table.

" Hopefully, now our men are following Tiffany and they're saying to a man she doesn't know." Hardi's father sat down next to his wife.

" really? Let's hope they find it, Mother is already not in love with the state of Cilla." Mother Sarah looks very worried about the state of her daughter.

" Yes, may this bear fruit, let us pray. Oh yes, from tomorrow we have to move to Melbourne, because there is already a bright spot of existence and clues there. We need to get closer to where they are."

" Well, you follow what you're planning."

While Cilla in her room always kept quiet and occasionally her tears just flowed down her cheeks.

Za, where are you really? I miss you so much.

Cilla looks still very sad and also looks weak body, slumped helpless. There was a knock on the door and Mother Sarah brought food for her daughter.

" Eat baby, Mother bring your favorite food." Mother Sarah put it next to Cilla.

" It was, Bun." Cilla refused a little.

" That was yesterday afternoon baby, now you have to have dinner. After all you only eat a little, please take care of your health for Reza." Persuade mother Sarah.

Cilla got up and sat on the edge of the bed, taking a tray of food and putting it on her thighs. Little by little Cilla ate her favorite french fries, but only a few mouthfuls of Cilla felt nauseous. Putting the tray away, Cilla ran to the bathroom and regurgitated the food she had just eaten.

Seeing that, Mother Sarah was increasingly worried and as a mother, she was very sad until her eyes glazed over.

_______

In Melbourne, the Hardi family re-hires a luxury mension, for them to stay during Reza's search. Cilla's body condition is getting less good because of her mental condition that is still shaken.

Every food he ate was always regurgitated, only the essence of food can help him healthy through the infusion fluid attached to his left arm.

I can't bear to see Cilla like this, O God... I beg you, Cilla will soon be reunited with her husband.

A tear in the corner of both of Mother Sarah's eyes. Mother Sarah rubbed her child's head gently, even though Cilla was only a child, but her affection was very great she devoted entirely to Cilla.

Cilla looked asleep but her forehead shriveled as if she had been dreaming of something unpleasant. Mother Sarah again rubbed Cilla's forehead until the daughter was calm again.

Before long, Hardi's father opened the door to Cilla's room, then sat on the sofa not far from his daughter's bed and called Mother Sarah to approach him who was sitting next to Cilla.

Sarah sat down beside her husband and they began to talk.

" How's Cilla doing?" Ask Hardi's father who looks worried.

" The more days, Cilla's condition is getting worse. He can't swallow food at all, can only go through intravenous fluids." Mother Sarah looks very sad.

" Hopefully Reza will meet soon, so that Cilla's condition can return to normal." Added Mother Sarah.

" Yes, hopefully soon Reza can be found, now there are many clues about Reza's whereabouts and hopefully those clues can lead us to where Reza is." Hardi's father was starting to look optimistic.

" You help pray that this search is smooth." Added.

Mother nodded and always hoped good things would happen. Hardi's father approached Cilla, sat in a small chair beside her daughter's bed, and clasped her sleeping daughter's hand tightly.

" I promise you, I'll find your husband soon. I'm asking you to be strong, you have to take care of your health, not until when Reza is found, you are in this state of pain. You don't want to, do you ! if Reza sees you like this, surely you want to look beautiful in front of your husband, right ! So please, you must keep your spirits up for your husband and for all of us." Said Hardi's father then kissed his daughter's forehead.

Cilla remained in her sleep but there were tears in every corner of her eyes, a sign that she was like hearing what her father was talking about.

Seriate....
