Briena entered the house and got ready to go to Bandung. He showered and changed clothes then went downstairs with his bag and cell phone.

"Madam want to go?" asked Bi Surti who was cleaning the TV room area.

"Yes, ma'am. I have to get out of town," said Briena quickly. He hastily put his cellphone in his bag after sending a message to Amelina that he was on the way to Bandung.

"But Mr. Budi is not there, Nya!" said Mrs. Surti.

"Where to?" asked Briena in surprise.

"Taking Bi Ratih to the market, Mrs," replied Bi Surti.

Briena ran a hand through her hair in a panic. "How about now?" mumbled Briena softly. After thinking for a long time, finally Briena walked to the lock and took one of her car keys. He decided to go to Bandung alone.
