Forth's pov:
The next day mr. Zikri didn't show up after lunch.
We got worried when an hour passed and there was no sign of him.
Beam tried calling him but he wasn't picking up his phone.
"I wonder what happened.... He usually comes early." He mumbled.
I nodded.
Just then his phone started ringing.
"It's him." He said and picked it up.
"Ali?...." He put it on speaker.
"Abang! Tolong!" (Malay) He whisper yelled.
My eyes widened.
"What is he saying?" Beam looked at me anxiously.
He's asking for help.
His eyes also widened.
Ali ada apa? Apa yang sedang berlaku? (Malay) I typed and turned on the audio and put it near the phone
(Trans: Ali what's wrong? What's happening?)
"Beberapa orang jahat cuba menyakitkan hati mama!" (Malay) He cried.
Some people are trying to hurt his mom.
I looked at Beam alarmed.
"Ok tell him to turn on the location on the phone so we can track them." Beam said.
I instructed Ali on how to turn on the location on the phone and send it to Beam's phone.
Beam went in and asked the receptionist to call a taxi for us.
"Got it!" He said after checking the location on his phone.
Ali ada ayah kamu di sana? (Malay) I typed and turned on the audio after we got into the taxi.
(Trans: Ali is your dad there?)
"Ya! Ayah juga ada di sini! Dia berusaha melindunginya! Mereka mencederakannya!" (Malay) He answered.
Mr. Zikri is protecting her. They're hurting him. I typed and showed it to Beam.
He pursed his lips.
Ok tinggal di mana anda berada. kami dalam perjalanan. (Malay) I typed.
(Trans: Ok stay where you are. We're on our way.)
"Abang saya takut...." (Malay) I heard his soft voice.
(Trans: Brother i'm scared.)
I bit my lips.
Ia akan menjadi baik. abang akan datang. Anda akan baik-baik saja. (Malay)
(Trans: It's going to be ok. Brother is on his way. You're going to be ok.)
His small whimper came from the other end.
We stopped infront of a house.
The door was open and i could see multiple men there.
I rushed out of the car. Beam followed close behind after paying.
Mr. Zikri was on the floor shielding his wife with his body while they were beating him up.
One of them noticed me.
"Who the fuck are you?" (Eng) He growled.
I felt my anger rise.
"What the fuck do you think you're doing? Why are you beating them up?" (Eng) Beam hissed.
"Oh this? This is just some fun. We got bored and the lady looks tasty but this bastard won't let us touch her." (Eng) He shrugged.
