After sleeping the whole afternoon, Hidayah decided to have dinner in her room. But, the room service menu was not appealing to her. Hence, she slowly made out of the hotel to walk around to find whatever food that may catch her appetite…
Luckily, the hotel is located in the city hub. Hence, street food and other eateries are abundant. After walking around, she ended up buying various snacks from street vendors. Walking around was like a trip down memory lane. When she was still in college, she and Erika used to spend their weekends walking aimlessly.
With just a simple t-shirt, jogging pants and a pair of sneakers bought from the local vendors near the hotel, Hidayah spent the evening enjoying the view and people going about their own way.
At around 10 pm, her phone rang. "Assalamualaikum," Hidayah greeted the man on the phone sweetly. Her dad responded to the greeting and had a chat with his daughter.
"Hidayah, why did you leave so early? You didn't even bring Anston or Daniel along… How was the meeting?" the man asked away without pausing and allowing his daughter to reply.
Hidayah: Dad, you know Anston will not be in his right mind at the moment…
Kamari: You're underestimating him. Do you think men from Loh family are weak? Furthermore, he was my candidate for my succession.
Hidayah: Aiyah, dad… Talking about this, I am really mad with you. How can you let Hidayat work for you? You know I do not want him to be involved on that side of our family business.
Kamari: He has been following me around for a very long time… It's just, you didn't know…
Hidayah: You can already see for yourself! He is too soft-hearted. He could not even get a grip of his emotion just because of a woman.
Kamari: Hidayah, no matter what I am going to say, you will never understand. Not until you have found the man who can captivate your heart.
Hidayah: Dad… I didn't know you were so sentimental…. Hahahahaha…
Hidayah laughed at her father and continued walking back to the hotel while chatting with him a while more.
Meanwhile, back in Country C, Hidayat, Anston and the rest of the gang were still searching for the missing girls. Even reinforcement from the Darroch family in Europe joined the array.
The 3 missing women are from an old clan in Europe. The Darrochs have been known as a warrior clan. Though being a small clan that does not have much-noted characters in history, they still have active clan members in high positions in Europe.
Not only that, but they are also one of the notable families in the European underworld. Even though the 3 women came from a branched out family, the clan was still helping out in the search.
**********
After 2 days staying in City K, Hidayah had completed all that was required to be done. Now, she is leisurely touring the city while waiting for Eco World's response to the proposal that was presented.
Though, she was also actively being updated by Uncle Jonathan on the search progressions currently done. She may seem apathetic to the predicament, but she has been actively helping out too.
She has been accessing the security cameras within the areas that were locked by the GPS that was installed in Jessica's necklace by hacking into the system. She was also networking with other hackers that she knows for help.
That night, she finally had a lead to the women's location. She immediately updated Uncle Jonathan to deploy the men for reconnaissance.
