Murder In The Old Castle
175. Morning Gymnastics

In the darkness that enveloped, Mr. Paiman tried to reach his rolling flashlight. The figure apparently did not intend to deal with Mr. Paiman. He prefers to move quickly down the stairs. Mr. Paiman didn't let him get away with it.

“Tolooong! Chase it! He ran downstairs!” pekik Pak Paiman's.

He got up, then chased after the figure that had disappeared in the depths of the night. Mr. Paiman looked to the left, the figure was completely absent. From the kitchen hallway, he saw Alex run over.

“What's up, Sir?” ask Alex.

“Mas Alex, did you see anyone dressed in black? It was caught wet in the CCTV room, kept running down as soon as it saw me. Well, where are you running to? I'd like to give you the taste!” grumbled Pak Paiman as his eyes looked in all directions.

“People dressed in black? I just got out of the bathroom. This morning my stomach was not good. So I don't see anything, Mr.”

Before long, some residents also woke up to the screams of Mr. Paiman. Ferdy and Rudi also came there immediately. They wondered why Mr. Paiman was screaming in the early hours like this. Unfortunately, Dimas did not wake up, because he was soundly asleep. While from upstairs, there was Rasty who also woke up. He only looked up from the top floor, not intending to go down, as he only wore a thin kimono to sleep.

“What's the matter?” ask Rasty from above.

“Udah sleep again! There's nothing!” answer Rudi.

Rasty felt a little annoyed by Rudi's reply. I wanted to go downstairs to hang out with them, but unfortunately he felt embarrassed because the sleepwear he was wearing was too thin. He only saw the men who were having a serious chat below.

“So how did it happen Sir?” ask Rudi curiously.

“Yes, I was on patrol. Well, right on the second floor, in my CCTV room. He also seemed shocked to see me, so he pushed me to the side. Then he ran down, and now he doesn't know where. Don't-don't, this guy who's been picking up stuff at the warehouse!” Mr. Paiman started telling stories.

“What's missing, sir?” ask Ferdy.

“Some gardening clothes and gloves. It's a brash thief! Because of him, I now find it difficult to care for the plants. If I get caught, I'll teach him a lesson!”

Mr. Paiman is still grumbling. The young men tried to calm down, while holding onto the middle-aged man's shoulders.

“Patience, Sir! Patience. Now mending Mr. Paiman back home only. I must be cape. Let us take care until morning. We certainly can't sleep this out either. How do you want to?” ask Rudi.

“Telah. I guess I won't sleep anymore either!” answer Ferdy.

“I'm also insomnia while here. It also seems like you can't sleep,” Alex added.

Mr. Paiman nodded. In his heart he still held a deep curiosity. He wondered who had actually stolen it? At the suggestion of the young men, he finally decided to return to the cottage behind the main house.

Rasty who had seen the young men from above could only smile a little.

“Why Race? Would you like to join us?” ask Ferdy.

Rasty just sneered, then passed. He chose to go into the room and continue his dream that had been delayed. While the young people who wake up choose to chat on the front porch enjoy the early morning air that is still clean and fresh in the throat. To make the atmosphere more relaxed, they make coffee to accompany the conversation until morning.

Dawn came to greet the house of isolation on the hill. Birds welcome the morning. The residents of the isolation house one by one began to wake up. Start with Miss Mariyati who woke up the morning. As usual, the woman immediately prepared breakfast, as the breakfast schedule was seven over thirty minutes. He does not want to be late to prepare. Therefore, he chose a simple menu for breakfast.

Mr. Paiman was still lying on the worn-out sofa, with breaths up and down. Her sleep is very good. Apparently he was exhausted after last night he was defeated by a figure in black clothes on the second floor. Ms. Mariyati had no intention of waking her husband. He went straight to the kitchen to work.

On the other side of the house, Dimas has attached several daily schedules in strategic places such as in the dining room, living room, and several other places. He deliberately made the schedule, so that the activities of the residents are more directed.

Seeing that the schedule had been stuck, the residents began to gather to read the arrangement of the schedule. They hope that the schedule contains fun things and not boring.

“The first schedule this morning is morning gymnastics, and it will start at 06:00. So I suggest you get ready!” dimas Command.

“Yes, how about gymnastics anyway?” grunts Rasty.

“Why? That gymnastics is healthy. Instead of you snoring in the room mending gestures. It can burn calories and healthy bonuses too,” said Adinda.

“Still sleepy to know. Last night anyway you did not wake up when there was an incident with Mr. Paiman.”

“Emang what happened to Mr Paiman?” ask Adinda.

“Each wake up! Don't molest!”

Rasty said as he walked away to the room leaving Adinda. The girl was more curious about Rasty's description. He walked to his room to change clothes. While others are also getting ready to change clothes to follow the morning gymnastics led directly by Dimas.

The morning gymnastics event itself is directly held on the front page. No music, just count.

Rasty looks less enthusiastic about following the gymnastics activities. He still wants to move. The others look pretty excited. Especially Lena. The parasite looks very bright following the movement after movement exhibited by Dimas. The police deliberately did not make complicated movements, but simple movements but still healthy.

During the morning gymnastics took place, Ferdy's eyes could not be separated to look at Adinda who was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and training pants bright blue. The girl was also wearing a hat, so that her beautiful hair would not be broken. She looked beautiful, no wonder Ferdy admired her secretly.

“See jiasss!” ledek Rudy.

“See what?” Ferdy pretended not to know.

“Halah! Don't pretend. I know who you are again look who!”

Ferdy did not respond. He pretended not to listen, while continuing to make movements according to Dimas' direction. He felt very excited that morning, considering he rarely moved because he was busy working. Morning exercise like this really makes him feel fresh, and as if pumping positive energy throughout the body.

“One .... two ... three ... four! Turn the body to the side!”

Dimas gave a loud aba-aba. About an hour they exercise, until the body is wet with sweat. Dimas ended morning gymnastics with a cooling motion. When they finished, they sat down tired. All spread their feet, while enjoying the morning breeze that blows. While from the direction of the kitchen, already smelled the aroma of cooking from Bu Mariyati.

“After this can directly eat no?” asked Rudi with a breath of breath.

“If according to schedule, out of morning gymnastics is self-cleaning. That means we have to take a shower first. If you directly eat out gymnastics like less worthy deh. The body is still afraid of when to eat directly. Wait for it to dry, or take a bath first let it smell good. Let the seeing also not disturbed,” replied Adinda.

“Huh!” grunts Rudi.

Since morning, Nayya was ready to wear clothes given from Badi. The clothes are a relic of Dance. Although he did not like the model, he was still grateful for getting clean and fragrant clothes. Nayya wore with joy. Moreover, as promised by Badi, that today they will visit Nayya's house.

“Better breakfast before leaving. Don't bother people home,” Badi's advice.

“No, Bang! I can't wait to go home. I'm sure my mom doesn't bother that I eat at home. He was happy because I was home. You don't need breakfast too, later breakfast at my house, yes,” said Nayya.

“Nno Nay! I don't want to meet your family!” reply Badi firmly.

“Why Bang? My brother has helped me. Let my family thank you Brother!”

“Neither Nay! I ... I .. do not deserve to be among your family,” said Badi lirih.

Badi was indeed feeling inferior to his status all this time. He just feels like a wasted society. He did not want to make Nayya ashamed of having a friend like him. He chose not to meet Nayya's family, and ignored any gratitude he might receive.

“Abang can't talk like that. My brother helped me. Brother must be willing to fulfill my invitation. Must Bang. I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life if you don't want to come into my house. Moreover, I also still remember the kindness of Dance to me. He sacrificed his life for me. Want yes, Bang?” force Nayya.

Badi just fell silent. He did not dare to agree. Shame and disbelief lingered in his heart. However, since Nayya urged him, then he had no other choice but to nod slowly to agree to Nayya's invitation.

The invitation from Nayya made him immediately go to the room to exchange more decent clothes, in honor of the host. After all, he should also appear decent in front of his invitee. He must keep away the strong impression that is attached to him.

Secretly, he took a razor. In front of a mirror, the man shaved off his messy sideburns and whiskers to make them look neat. He doesn't want to look like an unkempt delinquent. He also chose a shirt and pants that are quite neat, not the clothes that he used to wear. In short, he wants to appear neater in front of the Nayya family.

This may be the first experience of his life. It felt like I was going to meet a president. So he wants to show everything the best that is on him.

He saw his reflection in the mirror. It is like being reborn as a different creature. He smiled and saw the change in him. However, he realized that his current appearance made him appear more like a real human being.
