Aira who was still sleeping in was living alone by them in the room, but at home there was her mother and father-in-law.

Bima and Diah who still feel sleepy must brush off all that in order to get good and fresh sales goods - fresh.

The cold and dark air did not make them this couple trepidation to go to the morning market.

Diah and Bima went to wear thick jackets and held on with eyes that had to stay awake.

Today was Diah's first day of selling, and she was a little nervous about having to meet the crowd.

" Honestly, I don't like crowds, but what can I do. I have to try it so I can add money to Aira's kindergarten graduation later." in his heart.

Diah was ready to sell, at 05:25 was at home and opened their vegetable stall.

" Where is mommy ?" ask her mother-in-law's customer.

" Yes sister, the mother is not well so I am the substitute" said Diah kindly and with a smile.

" Oh, I see.., if so I ask for this one ounce and this, this is the same, brother" said the customer pointed to the item he wanted to buy.

Diah deftly weighed and put her sister's groceries into her plastic bag.

And he paid for all the groceries he bought with his money, and left after he got his change.

Bima who came home for a while and came back with Aira who was carried by him.

" Mom... !" Aira called.

" Hiks, hiks, mama where..., Aira woke up mama with dad not in the room." Aira spoke while crying.

" Yes mama today has started selling, so every morning mama shopping used to continue selling here."

" Aira why cry..., mama not where - where is it. have not cried again huh..?" Diah calms her son Aira down.

The day was a little bright, Aira had learned to read with Diah in her stall. Bima was already willing to go to work because it was 06:40, while Bima entered work at 07:00 am.

While Aira still hasn't had a bath and breakfast, then Diah takes her breakfast and takes her to the stall to feed Aira her morning meal.

After 8am, her mother-in-law came to take a quick look at her stall. While Diah will prepare Aira to go to her school.

After finishing Diah delivered Aira on foot to her school. Aira eagerly went to her school that day, and briefly hugged her mother and kissed Diah's cheek happily.

When Diah realized staring at the wall clock and immediately ran to pick up his son at school.

Diah quickly walked to Aira's school, where she saw that all the children were no longer in school.

Diah's eyes searched here and there from one place to another.

" Excuse me, teacher.." Diah greeted her teacher who was preparing to go home.

" Oh, Aira's mom, what's wrong, ma'am ?" ask the teacher.

" Where is Aira ma'am ?"

" Why don't I see it ?" ask Diah who is looking - look.

" Loh, didn't Aira come home with mom earlier ?"

" Aira was already parting ways with me, said her mother who picked her up. I was busy so I didn't get to see Aira leave."

" Oh, geez if it wasn't mom who picked her up, then who picked up Aira earlier mom ?!" the teacher started to panic and felt guilty.

" So I mean Aira's mother got kidnapped by someone ma'am ?!"

" Astagfirullah...!" Diah was instantly limp and helpless.

" Mama...!"

" Ma, please ma...!"

" Mama...!" the voice of Aira asked for help.

" ... !"

" People like Aira !" shouted Diah who saw Aira brought in a car that drove fast.

Diah ran after the car, but was unable to catch up.

" Please...!"

" Help my son !"

" Please...!" Diah asks for help, but during the day the streets are very quiet no one knows if there is a kidnapping.

Diah fell onto the asphalt while chasing her son Aira, who was taken by the kidnapper.

Diah was crying and scared that what would happen to her.

" Hiks, hysteria.." Diah was crying and could only stare at the car that was taking Aira away from far away.

" Oh yes Bima" said in a heart that remembered her husband.

📞 "Hallo mas.., Aira mas." Diah called her husband Bima.

📞 "Why with Aira ma ?" ask Bima.

📞 "A_ Aira mas, Aira...!" Diah stammered - brick talk.

📞"Iya Aira why apparently ma ?!" Bima is upset.

📞 "Mas, Aira was kidnapped. quickly go home mas, I saw with my eyes Aira was taken away in a black car mas." said Diah who was getting scared.

📞 "Huh ?!"

📞 "You didn't see wrong ma ?!"

📞 "We have to report this to the police" Bima said immediately closing his phone.

Bima immediately went home and met his wife Diah, Diah who stepped slowly towards his home with a lunglai.

Bima who was riding his motorbike saw his wife from afar was walking limp on the side of the road.

" Yin...!" the sound of car horns.

Diah almost got hit by a passing car back then, she was walking unsteadily.

Bima who saw him immediately approached his wife.

Bima was very sorry to see his wife fall into the asphalt of the road while walking from earlier.

" Mommy., mom." Bima called.

Diah raised her head up and looked at Bima her husband was in front of her.

" Hiks, hyks, but Bima...!"

" Heaven...!" diah's cry broke out instantly.

Diah was still sitting on the asphalt by the road, his feet were powerless to ride his body stood back up.

Bima also memapah and help him to get on his bike.

And Bima took his wife directly to the police station to report for the kidnapping of his son Aira.

Until there Diah recounted the events that happened, and told everything slowly.

While crying Diah told and kept talking, then Diah remembered one thing. Diah remembers the license plate of the car carrying the Aira.

" If you remember, try to tell me what the license plate number is" the police said.

" Sir, I remember the plate xx34" said Diah, who told the kidnapper's license plate.

And the police understood, they immediately deployed other police to find where Aira was.

" Father and mother go home first, we will try to find the whereabouts of the mother's daughter and father as soon as possible" the police said.

Bima also brought Diah home from the police station. Diah was still shaken and shocked by the incident, she did not expect her son would leave her with the kidnapper.
