Chapter 403 - Search Team
Anya, Tara and Nico then arrived at the restaurant Aiden ordered. The man had ordered a special place for them so they could eat more privately.
Some snacks were also served before them.
However, Anya could not sit quietly. She was worried about her husband. Finally, she decided to call Aiden, but her call wasn't answered.
"Where's Aiden?" Tara asked when she saw the worry on Anya's face.
"He's not answering my call," Anya said, shaking her head. "Nico, try to ask where Aiden went. I feel a little anxious. I'm afraid something might happen to him,"
Nico was eating while looking at his social media accounts. His attention was completely focused on the screen.
His gossip journalist friend from earlier had shared the video he gave him to the internet. Now, the entire internet was filled with the news about his relationship with Raka.
Some people who saved photos showing their closeness also immediately post them to strengthen evidence that they were really a couple.
Evil laughter occasionally came from Nico's mouth as he read the article.
'This is very funny!' He thought.
He ate so happily that he could not hear Anya's voice at all.
Seeing Nico staring at the cellphone, Tara quietly walked behind him and peeked at the contents of the screen.
"Nico, you can still laugh at news like that?" Tara shook her head in surprise. Nico's cell phone screen was filled with news of him and Raka. But why was Nico still able to laugh like this?
"Isn't this funny? This is what I want," he then looked up and stared at Anya. "Auntie, what did you say just now?"
"Have someone look for your uncle. I can't reach him and I'm very worried. I'm afraid something might happen to him," after saying that, Anya tried to contact Aiden again, but the man still didn't answer.
Nico looked at the clock and found that it was one past 40. His uncle was late for quite a while. Did something really happen?
"Don't worry, Auntie. Maybe my uncle had trouble carrying his catch and didn't hear his cellphone. You guys eat first. I'll ask someone to look for him," Nico came out of the restaurant and met one of the hotel managers. "Get your chief manager over here,"
"What can I do for you, sir?" The manager asked.
"You…" Nico looked at the manager and said, "You can't help me. Get your chief manager over here. Tell me that my last name is Atmajaya. He knows me,"
Upon hearing that the man had Atmajaya as his surname, the manager immediately understood. "Sir, please wait a moment. I will immediately call the chief manager,"
The chief was currently having lunch when he heard that someone with the last name Atmajaya called him at the hotel restaurant on the second floor. He immediately left his food and found out the person who ordered the table at the restaurant. In a short time, he discovered that Aiden's name was on the order of the restaurant's private space.
"Something has happened. I really had no luck today. I know the big secret of Nico Atmajaya and now Aiden Atmajaya is calling me," the head manager's heart was beating very fast. He was afraid of losing his job until sweat rolled down his forehead. "You all better not answer carelessly. Don't make things difficult for me,"
"Understood, Sir. This way," the manager who called him immediately led him to the room where Nico was.
The head manager straightened his clothes and knocked on the door. "Sir, you called me."
"Come in," Nico replied.
The head manager came in and saw Nico with two women, but he didn't see Aiden around.
"Sir, I heard you were looking for me," said the head manager with a polite smile, though he was actually surprised.
"Earlier my uncle went to the hunting area behind this hotel. The last time I called him was about two hours ago and now he is completely unreachable. Ask some people to help me find him," Nico said.
The head manager panicked. Aiden Atmajaya disappeared? In addition, he disappeared in the hotel he managed…
Sweat immediately drenched his forehead. In his heart, he could only hope for a miracle. He hoped Aiden would not get hurt.
The head manager had a report that Aiden was staying at this hotel, but why didn't anyone report that the man had gone hunting? If he had known that such an important person had gone hunting near his hotel, he would surely have sent a group of professionals to accompany him, making sure that nothing happened…
Why did all this trouble happen to him in a day?
It seemed, after Nico and Aiden came back from this hotel, he would really lose his job.
He shook his head vigorously. He still had a chance!
Now, the most important thing to do was to find Aiden.
Ten minutes later, the hotel gathered some local farmers and hunters who were used to dealing with wild animals. Nico also joined in to find his uncle. The hotel management had already called the search team, but they needed time to arrive at their place.
Meanwhile, Anya and Tara waited in the room Aiden ordered. Even though many delicious foods were served in front of them, they didn't have any appetite left. For the first time, Tara felt she couldn't stomach anything. Neither the food nor their current situation.
"Anya, don't worry. Explosions couldn't even kill Aiden, so let alone a wild beast. Aiden will be fine," Tara said.
Anya smiled a little at what her best friend said. Tara's mouth was haphazard, but she was grateful that Tara was with her. "You do have a unique way of entertaining someone,"
Tara scratched her head because she realized she had said it the wrong way. "I mean, Aiden has been through an ordeal greater than this. He has great luck, so I'm sure he can survive any situation," Tara said, trying to make her point clear.
"There's no need to explain. I see what you mean. I hope Aiden is well," Anya felt her heart was chaotic. She hoped Nico could find Aiden as soon as possible.
Raka saw Nico coming out of the restaurant along with several people who were already fully dressed. He saw them with rifles hanging from their backs.
"Nico, where are you going?" Raka immediately stopped Nico when he saw his friend's serious face.
"My uncle hasn't come back yet and I can't reach him. The search team will arrive at this place soon, but I can't wait. I'll look for him first," said Nico seriously.
Raka thought for a moment and then said, "I'll come with you. The more people, the better,"
"You ..." Nico looked at Raka's neat clothes. "How can you go in clothes like that?"
"I will borrow clothes from the hotel," Raka said, looking at the head manager.
The head manager immediately took a bag filled with clothes and complete equipment to Raka.
It didn't take long before Raka returned fully dressed. He left his cellphone, keys, wallet and clothes that belonged to him before following Nico.
"Raka, I will ride this bike. You can sit behind me," for some reason, Nico felt more confident when Raka's around him.
Maybe because he knew that he could rely on his friend.
"You? Riding this bike?" Raka laughed sarcastically. "You better sit in the back. We've got no time to let normie like you ride this," Raka couldn't forget the incident when Nico took him and threw him into the lake.
