Looking for Mr. Budiman
Arriving at the intended address, Ella dyed because the place was closed . It was his main purpose to know the place . A middle-aged man greeted him.
" i'm sorry neng, find out who here "without a stale security question Ella's whereabouts in the office of the lawyer he guards.
" sorry sir, I want to find Mr Budiman there ?" Ella tried to ask about the person she was looking for according to Ais' grandmother's message at that time.
" wah sir Budiman is not here sorry, if you may know what needs ?"
Ella was a bit awkward, wanted to tell me something very personal, eventually Ella just a stale base and immediately left the place.

Meanwhile, Security was still watching Ella's movements that went away from her office.
" who is the girl looking for Mr. Budiman, from the way he talks like there is a personal need like it, while Mr. Budiman has been very long not in this country, even reportedly not heard" Security's own monologue will be Ella's arrival at the office that's closed today because it's Sunday.
" h forgot the girl's name, who knows it's important .
Indeed rumors, about Mr. Budiman who disappeared without news, making the entire office ask questions, until there is information that Mr. Budiman is abroad, I don't know what he is doing.

It was late afternoon, Ella who was still on her way to stop by the minimarket just looking for needs every month . Then continue the journey to the contract.
" that's Ella, why did I get here, nyariin me ?" The figure of the woman Ella knew reprimanded him when he just stopped in front of his contract. Sheila Faradina Gunawan. I don't know why she wants to be called Dina instead of Sheila.
Ella was familiar with the girl, who often chatted together when taking a break or going home from college, in the parking lot they separated because she said Dina Deket's house with the campus , and they don't know where each lives yet.
" what are you doing here, Din...? How about in front of my contract ?" Ella said to Dina, her college friend.
" Well ....? ngontract here...? " tanya Dina was a bit surprised because she felt that she had always avoided if anyone would go home with her.
" lhah behind you is my contract Din..!"
While pointing at the door behind Dina who was light brown and still closed.
" so we're neighbors...?" Dina is still not sure if she is neighbors with Ella.
Actually Ella was also surprised why there was Dina in her contract.
" lhah elo where's the room ?" While putting the motorbike in front of the contract .
Ella is still not convinced by the truth of her friend.
" Tuh , next to Lo..!" Dina pointed to the room next to Ella's room right next to Ella's.
" we neighbors ", they hugged as if old friends hadn't met and then they got into Ella's contract.
Ella's contract is still not much filled, the stove and cookware is still minimal just a few days ago Ella shopping using the rest of her savings.
Then Ella took the vegetables she bought this morning, and then cooked them.
" you can get in La...?" Dina was curious because of Ella, cutting herbs and vegetables, as well as tempeh and eggs for frying .
" little , I have to save , because my savings are thinning.
Dina eventually helps, although cooking matters cook it never.
Even the first time Ella saw as if Dina was disgusted with kale vegetables that Ella wanted to stir-fry.
Ella was suspicious, don't Dina's not a rich kid in disguise.
But Ella, the bodo with it, the important thing is not to harm her.
" elo, rarely cook well...?" Ella's chirp with curiosity.
" hehe..iy La ..not used to "the answer is a bit awkward because Dina felt intimidated by Ella.
" yes already, while studying, I'm also not a person who cooks pinter, the important thing can be full stomach "Ella who is used to cooking for grandmother Ais answered as is , and Ella feels she has temen at the moment.
Until night falls, Dina returns home to her next-door contract and Ella recalls her search for Mr. Budiman. Then he looked back at the business card he found in Ais's grandmother's bag.
Ella so remembered with grandmother Ais's phone, she reopened her bag to pick up the phone .
The old-fashioned phone is off power, Ella can't charge the battery. Ella then went out to the mobile phone counter to buy the charger.
About 1 hour an , Ella can't wait for , she reattaches the battery to her phone and then turns it on.
There are so many missed call notifications .
Observed the name of the phone number listed on the phone, only one that he got by the name of Adrian, who knows who the person is and how his face
Then Ella tried calling the number with Ais's grandmother's phone.
" Hello BI, assalamualaikum..!"
The answer was when the phone was picked up by the person named Adrian.
" sorry this is Ais's grandmother's granddaughter, Ella .
Grandma Ais died 2 weeks ago, my grandmother's cell phone is carrying now "
Ella told Adrian the truth on the phone. He later informed that he was not in the place of Ais's grandmother at this time but Ella did not tell him about the pendant necklace and the name of Mr. Budiman, he deliberately did worry to keep watch.
" well tomorrow I will meet the master at the cafe in question at 15 o'clock
Waalaikumsalam warahmatulli wabarakatuh ".
Ella closes Ais's grandmother's disconnected cell phone.
From the phone connection there is no word that means according to Ella, then Ella put her body down and sleep, because the day has night.
In the morning Ella saw Dina looked so excited, because the wake of the accident became confused when he wanted to take the angkot to the campus.
" i've been with Din.." Ella's offer made Dina relieved, but saw Ella's old motorcycle so a little doubt.
" why princess, don't you want to ride my duck ?"
Dina is a bit awkward because of it, finally want to not want Dina bonceng duck belongs to Ella.
Seen Dina is not used to motor vehicles. Finally Ella forced her to sit behind him, as if they were lovers.
Until the time of his return from campus Dina has disappeared, even though Ella wants to invite him to accompany her to the cafe where Ella's agreement with Mr. Adrian.
Ella in a simple dress long-sleeved shirt and her favorite levis pants, headed to the place where Adrian was waiting.
In fact, Adrian has not been seen in the cafe.
Ella waited while ordering an ice cappucino.
A little while later a middle-aged man came up to her, momentarily observing Ella
" excuse me right this is with non Ella, who last night called me "asked the man while looking at , as if so foreign to him.
" right my master ella who last night called "Ella a little doubt about the person because from her experience the name Adrian is an office person or a look established , but this coming is a long-spirited man and his body tattooed, like a thug.
" excuse me non don't call me master, I'm just a little non , call me name only non , I feel bad " said Adrian humbled , ' said , because in front of him this is the son of his big boss first .
" can you call bang.. ?" Ella said a little curious because Adrian always called her "non" to him.
" may be non" said Adrian feeling bad.
" But don't call me non bang "
" i feel bad non , I'm just a little guy "again Adrian humbled because he knows, the family of the person before him is a small person, especially the family of his mother.
" bang can I know , my relationship with Grandma Aisyah?" Ella's curiosity about Grandma Aisyah who claimed not to be her biological grandmother wanted her to croak so that everything could be clear.
" excuse me if for that I do not have the authority, because I am only a subordinate, the authority may be our leader, explained Adrian after uncle Parta died " obviously Adrian did not want to explain who the family of Grandpa Parta and grandmother Aisyah for Ella.
" Who is your leader bang ?" Ella was curious about the words of Adrian at this time.
" He is the master Leon , but at the moment he is not here , he is in the hospital in the city T "the western region of this city , Adrian tells the current condition of Mr Leon , the paralytic must be incentivized to the hospital for a checkup . Although the results are always nil but he continues to try, because he feels there is a task that has not been completed. And Adrian also told me that if Leon never and did not want to see Ella's face, all he left to Adrian, so that his confidentiality is maintained.
" well I'll be there , join Adrian bang to get a hint " said Ella reassured herself, so that the problem can be resolved soon.
Adrian himself brought the car so they both used the car to get to Mr. Leon's place. Ella's motorbike was dropped at the cafe
