Dusty is my husband
49

Reno returns to the room to see his wife Tika. Tika is still awake.

" What they say pa. How's Nadia doing?"

" Papa spoke to Nadia."

"Trus what he said. How's it going, Pa? Is she okay?" tika Cecar. His heart was so sad.

" Nadia is fine. The ransom tomorrow. But they haven't mentioned the location, "

" Oh my God, protect my son Nadia." Reno grabbed his wife's body. Trying to give his wife strength to stay calm.

Reno is really worried, the incident will trigger his wife's blood pressure.

Fortunately, so far, his wife is doing well.

At Nadia's shelter.

Alex wakes up Dody as the sun rises.

"Hey Dody, let's get up. Huh! You sleepyhead." Alex kicks Dody's leg, and Dody wakes up.

"What the hell? People still sleep well, disturbed." snorted Dody annoyed. But he also rushed to the bathroom.

Alex tries to contact Rani, but is not connected. He tried it a few times but failed

Alex tried once again and is now connected but the answer is Tian.

"Hello sir, how is this. Why has not my father come yet. Isn't today the ransom handover?" yell Alex is upset.

" At least we'll go there" Tian said across the street.

" Ok, we wait. Don't forget to bring breakfast for us. We're not robots" Alex protested because the money to eat them was up yesterday.

Alex checks on Nadia in the bedroom still asleep. Nadia cried all night. Because he misses his family.

Before long Tian and Rani appear in Alex and Dody's hideout.

Tian gives a bag of food to Alex.

" Where's the kid?" ask Alex.

" Oh, sleep again." Dody pointed towards the room with his chin. Tian checked and saw that Nadia was still asleep.

" Is she okay" asked Rani.

" You think the kid you kidnapped is gonna be okay?" he asked Alex. "She cried all night. He won't eat either."

"Sttt...!" Tian gave the code to be quiet, because he was calling someone.

" Hello, Mr. Reno. What about our request. Have you prepared? The money is put in two places." then Tian mentions two locations for the ransom. The money was put in two suitcases.

" Good sir, I understand." said Reno sign agree. The location of the first money handover was carried out near the cemetery complex. And the second location is done near the former rubber storage warehouse.

Reno knows both locations. A place strategic enough for the kidnapper to escape after the transaction is completed.

But Reno wasn't stupid, he had prepared some people at some point, to make an ambush. To anticipate all possibilities.

As the conversation progressed, Nadia woke up from her sleep. He heard the name of Reno called. Nadia thought her dad had come to pick her up. So he got up and listened to the conversation.

That's when Nadia sees Rani among her captors. Nadia seems to know who Rani is, her memory is faint she is a aunt who lives with her opung.

And they haven't seen each other in a long time. Nadia is happy not to play because she feels safe. Nadia approached Rani and Tian.

" Aunte Rani," he exclaimed cheerfully as he hugged Rani from behind. Rani was shocked to death. Tian was also shocked and hurriedly turned off his hand phone.

Across Reno was also startled, hearing Nadia's voice mentioning someone's name.

Rani is Rey's wife. The need that had destroyed Tika's household. Yangnkini has become his wife.

So, Rey was involved with the kidnapping, huh? So it's true that his wife's suspicion that she doesn't believe in her ex-husband.

How foolish he was to have been deceived by Rey's attitude. What Reno had in mind all this time was, Nadia's happiness. Nadia deserves to get her father's affection even though Reno is now a papa.

And Reno has seen Rey attempt to make amends. It turned out that it was all a charade!

Reno has pushed her son to the brink. How naive she is! Reno cursed to himself. Grunts, upset and various other flavors mixed in the heart of Reno.

Reno took a deep breath, slowly breathing it out. However, he cannot act rashly. He'll follow Rey's play, if he's really involved with Nadia's abduction.

" What's up, Mr Reno?" the clap of Mr. Vincent on his shoulder ripped off Reno's thoughts.

" Eh, what a gapapa sir. I'm just upset, thinking about my son." explains Reno.

" Patient sir. We will solve this problem today. Hope all our plans go well."

" Good sir. I'd like to talk to you alone, just for a second." Reno walked out of the room with Vincent.

" What's up, Reno. Is there anything suspicious?"

" I think I know who's behind my son's abduction sir." Reno recounts what she heard at the last minute of her conversation with the kidnapper.

" Who is Rani, Mr Reno?"

" He is his wife from my ex-husband's wife sir. None other than Rey. The security guard at Nadia's school."

" So you mean Mr. Rey was involved in the kidnapping of the father's son, is that it?"

" This is still my guess, sir. I'm not sure if Rey is involved. It could be someone else's name. But Nadia called it her name. Means Nadia knows him." Reno briefly explains Rey and Nadia's relationship with father and son.

" The story is getting interesting, sir. Looks like I can pull the blue thread out of this case. What Rani and Rey are still living together, as husband and wife. Or have they split up?"

" I don't know, sir, since the divorce. I never saw Rani again. With Rey, just a few months ago, sir. Because he happened to work as a security guard at Nadia's school.

" all right. There's no harm in us watching Rey. Who knows if he's involved. In the meantime, we are acting ordinary. Don't let Rey suspect us." Reno nodded in agreement as Mr. Vincent explained some of the plans that the brand would undertake later.

Rani was shocked when Nadia mentioned her name. It turns out Nadia still knows him even though they have been separated for three years.

So did Tian, because at the last minute he was talking to Reno. Nadia called out Rani's name. I don't know, did Reno listen to the call of Nadia who called the name Rani.

Tian was really afraid that their identity was known.He asked for a while who knew Reno called back, when Reno heard Nadia's cry calling Rani. But there was no response from Reno. So Tian felt relieved. That means Reno did not hear Nadia's words.

" Aunty's coming to pick up Nadia, yeah. Where's Nadia tan's mom?" innocently Nadia asked.

" I'm not your appointment, you know. Listen carefully Nana. I'm the one who told this om-om to kidnap you. Let's know the taste of the greedy mamau,ha.ha." Rani's laughter resonated in the old building.

" Enough Rani. You don't ngaco yes. Your behavior can attract the attention of others," snapped Alex who does not like Rani's behavior.

" Hey.don't interfere in my affairs!" gertak Rani is no less hard. It made Tian so upset as well because the atmosphere became violent.

" What the fuck is this storm, mute. Take care of your attitude Rani. If you don't want our position to be known."

" The evil Aunt Rani! Papa's going to pick up Nadia. Papa will catch you," cried Nadia.

" Heh, you rancid boy! Don't do much of your demeanor, yeah. Your papa will be ..." Rani Tidsk continued her remarks, instead making a slashing motion on her neck with her fingers. ****
