Murder In The Old Castle
108. Silver Shoes
Rasty woke up suddenly. He glanced at the digital clock on the table. At 02:17. He felt his throat very dry, so he had to get out of bed. Maybe a glass of water can ease it. He evaporated, restoring consciousness.
Mama and Papa, as well as her two young sisters seemed to be sleeping in their respective rooms. Without turning on the lights, Rasty walked towards the dark dining room. The main purpose is a refrigerator located near the kitchen.
He took a glass of cold water, chugging it to nothing. Suddenly on top of the refrigerator he saw a neatly wrapped box, like a gift. Just remember, this afternoon Mama said that there was a package delivery for her from the expedition. Rasty scrunched his forehead. Who sent the package? He didn't order anything from the online shop. So who sent this?
He checked on the box wrap, who knew there was a sender's name listed there. In fact, the package was sent without the sender's name. The sleepiness disappeared instantly. He immediately returned to the room to open the unnamed package.
He opened the package slowly, found a cardboard box of old shoes. He slowly opened the box curiously. It's not a birthday, but why get a package? After finding the contents of the cardboard box he held his breath. It contained a woman's heels were entitled to be silver. Surprisingly, the shoe was only on the right. Whatdoes thatmean? Who has done this stupid thing?
“Damn it!” objurgation.
He suddenly remembered, as if he had seen this right shoe, but where? He forget. The appearance of these shoes is like a stranger. I'm sure I've seen these shoes before. Curiosity is becoming more and more. He did not continue to sleep, because of curiosity, who owns these shoes?
He just sat on the bed, watching the no-man's shoes. Still can't stop thinking, why would anyone send a shoe just next door?
“Maybe I'll ask Dinda, Lena, or Miranti tomorrow.”.
He can't wait for tomorrow. Unfortunately, due to boredom, drowsiness comes as well. Unbearable, he fell asleep with his shoes in his arms. As soon as he woke up, he saw a clock that had docked to the number seven! Holy hooch! Immediately he gas, take a potluck bath, without breakfast, immediately go to campus.
“You didn't have breakfast first, Ras? Nih, Mama has made your favorite fried rice!” said Mama who was preparing breakfast at the dinner table.
The fried rice that Mama prepared was indeed quite tempting, but she did not have time for it. He only drank a glass of milk that was available.
“I'm in a hurry, Mah. Misery awake. I'm leaving first yah!”
Rasty immediately left after kissing the back of his Mama's hand. He wants to go to college immediately, and tell his friends about strange events that he experienced.
Throughout the course, he could not concentrate. He wants the school hours to be over. Many times the teacher's mother who looks fierce rebuked him because he looks unable to follow the course of the lecture properly.
When the lecture ends, he immediately looks for Miranty and Lena who first go to the cafeteria. He walked a bit hastily until he almost hit Alex. The bespectacled student was astonished to see the anxious-looking Rasty, as if being chased by a demon.
“Why you, Ras?” ask Alex.
“Lex, follow yuk!”
“Where? I'm going to the library to return the book,” Alex said.
“It looks like we need to gather again. My life has not been quiet since that time. There are those who disturb. I think there's someone who knows us,” said Rasty.
“Ngerjain us? You mean what the hell? I don't understand,” Alex said.
“Ntar I'm telling you! Let's find Lena and Miranti!” rasty said as he pulled Alex's arm.
“Eh, but I'm ..”
Rasty doesn't care. He pulled Alex's arm, all the way to the cafeteria. The cafeteria building is quite large and crowded. Many students had lunch at the place. The voice sounded low. Rasty swept a glance across the canteen, looking for the whereabouts of his friends.
“Where the hell are they?” ask Alex.
“So the hell I saw them walking towards the canteen. Or maybe somewhere else?”
“Can you go to the toilet?”
“But surely they had lunch here. Let's go to the chicken noodle stand. They usually eat there!”
The two immediately broke into the crowd of students who were queuing for food. The chicken noodle stand is located somewhat on the tip, so it is not visible from the front. Sure enough, they saw the two girls were enjoying the chicken noodles. Lena waved when she saw Rasty and Alex.
“Ntar. I'd like to ask you guys.” Said Rasty quickly.
“What's? It seems very important,” said Miranti.
Rasty sighed for a moment, then looked towards Lena. The parasite still radiates anxiety. Alex waited in curiosity.
“You've never experienced anything strange lately?” ask Rasty later.
“Well, discuss the issue again. Why is everyone talking about that problem again? Not Dinda, not you. Everybody talk about that. Just a lupain!” ketus Lena's.
“You want to discuss the problem of the incident again huh?” Alex spoke up.
“You also get rid of your appetite, Ras!” lena complained.
“Sorry. But I really can't stand all this.”
Before long, Gerry and Alma happened to pass near their table. Seeing the whereabouts of Rasty and friends, Gerry approaches.
“Hai, how to collect? In what words?” ask Gerry.
“This is Rasty! He said he had experienced strange events. I am relaxing. But it will make the atmosphere so bad!” said Lena.
“What strange events, Race?” ask Gerry.
“OK. I'll tell you a story. Yesterday I got a package from a stranger. It was so strange, a shoe ...”
“From your fans times!” cut Lena.
“Dengerin first! I haven't finished telling you. So the shoes are like this ..”
Rasty opened the bag, took out a silver woman's party shoe. Everyone looked at the shoes carefully. Rasty put the shoes on the table.
“Wait .. wait! The shoes were exactly the same as the shoes that were delivered to me. That's the right shoe, right? I also got the same shipment of shoes two days ago. If it's sent to me on the left. Just because I thought it was a prankster, I let it go.”
Alma opened her voice. Gerry is shocked by Alma's confession, as if in disbelief.
“You didn't tell me, honey?” ask Gerry.
“Yes, what do I think. I thought it was just a prank, so I don't think about it anymore. But seriously, the shoe was exactly the same as the shoe that was sent to me,” Alma said.
“Certain those shoes now where?” search Gerry.
“Ya at home. Why did I bring it too?”
Everyone still looked at the shoes questioningly. Suddenly Alex muttered, holding the shoe.
“I just remembered that this shoe has one .. I remember when he went into the living room, he put up the shoes, he said the shoes were slippery,” said Alex.
“Whose shoes are?” Lena was curious.
“This is Jenny's shoe. Yeah, I remember these are Jenny's shoes. He wears these shoes fitting party!”
Alex's words suddenly made Rasty and Alma's face turned scared. How could the shoes of a deceased person be sent to them?
