Murder In The Old Castle
302. Guests
There was no sound of rooster crows when morning came. All that was heard was the sound of birds squealing on the branches of trees. The day was still a bit dark, with the scent of tea leaves blowing in the wind, as Mariah opened her eyes. He should get ready soon before his guests arrive this morning. All the preparations were in order, so he just prepared himself. Her husband was no longer in bed. Where did he go so early? He did not want to take a headache, he immediately cleaned himself in the bathroom.
Meanwhile, Ammar was enjoying an overflow of oxygen from the morning air that was so clean. He inhales deeply through the air stream through his nose, then he slowly escapes. So repeatedly. Air quality like this will not be displayed in the city, so he really enjoyed this morning with all his heart.
After cleaning up, Mariah waits for the presence of her friends restlessly. Ammar seemed to not care about his wife's anxiety. He chose to be in the reading room, looking for interesting books. He still remembered, in this reading room was also kept a mystery, the secret door that connects with the basement.
By nine o'clock, a white minibus entered the castle grounds. A 27-year-old woman got out of the car with a big smile. Mariah greeted him with joy.
"Lily, it's been a long time" said Mariah.
"You're still beautiful, Mariah," Lily replied.
The two women hugged each other and pressed their cheeks. Lily Amelia, tall woman with straight hair. Her hair was golden brown because it was dyed, matching her well-groomed white skin. He is a manager at a well-known insurance company that has thousands of customers. Unfortunately, at the age of 30 years, he still does not have a partner. Lily is a close friend of Mariah, when the two of them are still sitting in high school.
This time Lily left with some other friends. One by one, they got out of the car happily. After Lily, there was a married couple, Edwin Siregar, with Rosita. The couple is also a friend of Mariah during High School.he is known to be smart, expert in Physics, and a good basketball player.no wonder Edwin Siregar is an idol of the girls in his day. In fact, Mariah had fallen for him, but he realized to conquer Edwin's heart was not an easy matter. He had to compete with a dozen other girls. Now Edwin is actually married to a girl who had never been expected before. Rosita Felicia, a young girl whose age is similar to Mariah and Lily, but her face looks ugly and unfriendly. He did not put a smile at all in the castle. Edwin Siregar now works in a manufacturing company with a pretty cool position.
Aditya Permana and his wife Lidya Kumalasari. Aditya Permana is a close friend of Edwin Siregar. Both were dubbed as school playboys. Now, as Aditya's charm wanes, he marries a nice girl, a cashier at a private bank, Lidya Kumalasari. While Aditya is now known as an entrepreneur who has a property business.
The third couple in the line-up were Jeremy Adam and Stella Andini. The two had been dating since they were in High School, and it was unexpected that they continued to the marriage until now. They are the image of a dream couple. Jeremy Adam is a good man, with a paternal calm, while Stella is a young woman who is quite attractive and talkative. Well, it seems true what people say, that couples complement each other. The combination of the two looks very harmonious. They both have a restaurant and cafe in the middle of the city, as well as a fashion store.
The fourth pair, Ryan Prasetya and Nadine Athalia Putri. They were a couple who got married a month ago. Ryan is a friend of Mariah High School who is talented in voting. To this day, she is still active as a wedding singer. Nadine works for a company as an accountant. Nadine feels in love with Ryan's voice while attending her friend's wedding. Ryan and Nadine's closeness leads to marriage.
Another guest was Farrel Bintang Irawan. She's a single, silly and fun-loving Mariah High School best friend. His body was a bit fat, but he was a very pleasant typical man. He is good at talking and seducing, but strangely until now there has been no girl who captivated his heart.
The last person to get out of the car was Maya Larasati. If Edwin is an intelligent version of men, then Maya Larasati is the female version. He was a chemist, and is now a researcher at a government agency. The look is very simple, with braided hair and glasses. However, there was an intelligent aura from his face. Maybe that's why a few men who want to be close to him, until now still feel at home alone. Since High School, Maya does like to be alone.
They were immediately shown to their respective rooms. As usual, the women would occupy the rooms upstairs while the men would occupy the rooms below. The castle looks so spacious to accommodate the guests. But that makes them happy. They even praised the architecture of the building that is so exotic, so that that day they were interested in exploring the entire room.
However, Mariah of course kept the existence of the dungeon a secret for them. Because, the basement contains a negative aura, so maybe they will be disturbed or afraid if they know the existence of the basement. They just take a walk inside the castle, and of course enjoy the view around the castle surrounded by tea gardens.
"There is no network here!" lamented Rosita.
The young lady seemed to be engrossed in playing the cell phone, as the others were admiring the castle. No one cares about him. He looks very jutek.
"For day and night you will not need to cook, because I have prepared for you" Mariah explained.
This time, Mariah did not act as a guide, while explaining what rooms are in the castle. Mariah deliberately did not bring up the bad events that had happened in the castle. He did not want to ruin the atmosphere of this reunion with horror stories.
