Murder In The Old Castle
101.New Year's Party
The hour hand still shows at 11:32, but the clouds appear to be rolling. Dark atmosphere, occasional lightning struck in the corners of the sky. The wind began to blow strongly, flying the dry leaves that were strewn along the sidewalk. Traffic is a little crowded. A girl clad in casual clothing fidgets uneasily at a bus stop, waiting for public transport to pass by. He hoped that it would not rain that day.
Adinda Kirana, the young girl had just returned from campus, but unfortunately was confronted with hostile weather conditions. He chose to stay at the stop, while waiting for public transport to pass by. Just him alone at the stop, makes him a little uncomfortable, though,
The atmosphere of the new year is already visible in the city. The corners of the city began to preen, in some places already installed large tents, preparation for a music concert that will be held later tonight. If the weather is not friendly like this, it will be disappointing. Adinda does not care about all the hustle and bustle of the new year and its trinkets. As usual, he wanted to lie in the dorm room alone, while listening to the garish songs he had collected in his playlist.
A car stopped in front of the stop, startling the girl. From the windshield poking the face of another girl with black glasses. He tells her to get in the car.
“Bareng me aja yuk!” bring the girl in black glasses.
He looked towards the darkening sky. It seems he had to ride his friend's car. He rushed into the car, sitting in the front.
“Jam home soon, Din?” ask the glasses girl.
“Iya. There is only one course. You're also home at this hour, Rasti?” ask Adinda.
The bespectacled girl called Rasti just laughed out loud, while driving her car through the density of city traffic.
“You don't know me, Din! If I was always truant. Lecturers do not feel good to choose truant. I'm going to the mall, but I want it to rain. Yes, I'm home!” Rasti.
“Rudi didn't pick you up?”
“Ah! Don't talk to Rudi anymore. Males!” rasti said with a huff.
“You broke up?” ask Adinda.
“Ngak too anyway. But he made sprains. Likes other girls. I've been pinned down again. Let aja! Let's know the taste. Guys like that should be taught a lesson,” chirped Rasti.
Adinda did not comment. He knows Rasti well enough. The girl was actually smart, but she did not really intend to learn. Her parents are very busy and often travel abroad. Rasti only lives in his luxurious house with his younger brother who is still Junior High, as well as two ART people who serve his daily needs.
“Eh, nocturnal you come not to the new year party at Gerry's house. Not many were invited. Come yuk!” bring Rasti.
“Males is actually such events, mending just sleep at home,” said Dinda.
“Eh, don't dong! Come to the party. Not at home! I picked it up at your boarding house. Nothing, we come late,” said Rasti.
Dinda sighed. He did not refuse. Two days ago, his college friend Gerry announced he would be throwing a new year's welcome party at his mansion. He invited anyone who would come. Unfortunately, the invitation was not so responded by some people, because Gerry's reputation was not too good. He was familiar with liquor and the night world, so some students were reluctant to come to his place.

The rain had just finished flushing the city, until the atmosphere became cool. Fortunately the rain did not continue until night, so the people of the city could go out to celebrate the new year that will arrive in a matter of hours
Adinda wore a gift dress from her mother a few years ago. A simple dress with open arms, black, elegant impressed. He put on makeup with thin and natural makeup, not so striking. He doesn't like to be the center of attention for many people.
“Wah, did not expect you to be so beautiful. This is the first time I saw you wearing a dress. Usually not gini!” praise Rasti, when he saw Adinda was about to get in the car.
“Ah, normal!” greet Adinda.
“But Rasti really, Din. You're like that different. I'm sure that the guys at the party will glance at you, keep dancing that way!” timpal the glasses girl sitting in the back.
Lena Amalia, the tall glasses girl. The parasites look bright, with quite lively makeup.
While Miranti Tobing, the girl next to her looked indifferent, busy with a cell phone in hand. He is so focused, no matter what happens. He was reading an online news site.
“Eh, you guys did follow the old castle case. Two months ago, the case was reported on TV. I'm so into that serem ya!” said Mira.
“Iya anyway, I had seen the news on TV. A serem! I don't want to be horrified again,” said Rasti.
“Lagian why the Mir you discussed that? We're going to the party. Don't talk about weird!” grouse Lena.
Miranti fell silent. Rasti's car drove through the night, heading to an elite housing complex at the far end of the city. A spacious residential complex, with magnificent house buildings, and several luxury cars parked in the courtyard. To enter, they must be inspected by complex securities.
“You didn't see that. Security is handsome to know!” chirps Rasti.
“Dih! What the hell! Noh you take care of Rudi. He's on the road now Jenny. Not really?” Lena responded.
“Gossip aja lo! I have lost Rudi. Guys don't use it like him, it should be out to sea!” grouse Rasti.
“Select! You said to the sea, ntar would also. I've already memorized your old song,” sneer Lena.
Adinda was just silent, not interested in joining the gossip arena. He was more interested in observing the row of beautiful houses like a fairyland palace that lined the residential complex.
Before long, they arrived at a vast grassy courtyard, in front of an extraordinarily magnificent three-story house. Several other cars were parked in the yard. The atmosphere was also starting to get a bit crowded. Fireworks exploded several times in space, but not yet the turn of the year.
Many students huddled to enjoy a drink while tempting the students who mostly look beautiful that night.
The sound of music was heard from inside the house. She hesitated whether she should enter or not. Just getting out of the car, a few male eyes were already staring at him, as if they were about to swallow roundly.
“Eh, come on in! How to fuck!” rasti Tegur.
“I first yes! I'm going hunting guys!” said Lena. He took Mira's arm to go with him.
After catching his breath, Dinda followed Rasti's steps into the party arena. He felt awkward with spies who paid a lot of attention. Dinda did look different that night. He looks so elegant, because of the natural beauty he has, not the polish like most students who are in that place.
