Murder In The Old Castle
304. Trust for Mariah
Aditya enters the pool area, but there is no Lidya there. There is even an intelligent woman figure, Maya Larasati, sitting in the gazebo while reading a thick book. Aditya was astonished, where did this woman come from? When he left, there was no one in the pool. Why is he suddenly here? He was wailing, looking for Lidya's whereabouts, but the wife was not there.
"Where's Lidya?" aditya asked Maya who seemed indifferent to his presence.
The young lady glanced at Aditya at a glance, then shook her head, while continuing to read the book.
"Lid, where are you? I couldn't find the cream. Maybe you forgot not to bring it," said Aditya while pouring orange juice in a glass. The stinging afternoon made him feel very thirsty.
But his words were unrequited. In the end, Maya closes her book. He also chirped, because he did not find anyone in this place from earlier.
"There's nobody here. I was from the reading room, but the reading room was stuffy because it was not used for a long time, so I moved here. But, it feels like there is no Lidya here," said Maya while fixing the location of her glasses.
"Here's a change of clothes still here, and a few minutes ago he was still swimming with me. When he just left?" ask Aditya.
"It could be that he's into the castle without your knowledge" Maya replied with a shrug.
"I'll search the castle, who knows he's back in his room, just as I came out. Later tell me if you meet Lidya yes!" adiyta.
The man immediately returned to the castle in a huff. Maya only sighed while continuing to read the book. No one thought that Lidya was in the toilet, because her change of clothes was still scattered on the edge of the pool.
While in the castle. Aditya panics because Lidya is also not found in the room. He paced around the castle looking for Lidya's whereabouts, but never met. Suddenly, from the direction of the swimming pool came a scream. It was Maya's scream. The shout not only surprised Aditya, but the other residents who were resting in their respective rooms.
"What the hell, gini day-night screaming!" groused Rosita.
Edwin, Ammar, Ryan, and Farrel came out almost simultaneously from inside each other's rooms. Maya's arch in the pool area was indeed very loud. Surely something bad happened. Half-running the men approached the pool area, finding Maya sitting near the toilet with a deathly pale face. He looked scared, like he had seen a ghost.
"What's up, May?" ryan asked curiously.
Shortly thereafter, the women also followed in the pool area as well. They wonder why Maya fell down with a pale face. Maya answered nothing, but her hand pointed to Toliet. Ammar, who had strong instincts, did not remain silent. He immediately checked the toilet.
He opened the bathroom door, but suddenly his chest rippled when he saw Lidya's figure on the bathroom floor bathed in blood. Blood was also splashed in all corners of the bathroom. Obviously the woman was already in a terrible state of death.
"What's up, sir?" ask Aditya who suddenly catches up with Ammar in the toilet.
Aditya's eyes immediately caught the figure of the woman lying on the bathroom floor, drowning in a pool of blood. He was overwhelmed, because he knew the woman very well.
"Li-Lidya! Ti-no .. This is impossible!" aditya stammered.
"Keep your heart, Adit."
Ammar tried to calm down by patting Aditya on the shoulder. Namin, the man could only shake his head as he howled, calling out Lidya's name.
"Lillya!! Noooo! This is impossible!"
Aditya looks devastated to see all the terrible events. He fell down, unable to do anything. The other residents were also curious about what was going on in the toilet. One by one they followed to the toliet area, and found the figure of Lidya who died horribly.
Meanwhile, Lilly, the initiator of the show also looked hysterical. This murder looks so horrible in his eyes. He just sat down and held his head, as if he could not believe what had just happened.
The men immediately secured Aditya, so as not to get hysterical in that place. He brought Aditya into the castle. Ammar banned anyone from using the swimming pool toilet for a while. He was apparently also confused about what to do, considering the distance of the city was not a close distance. However, as a legal person, he must act swiftly and swiftly in making decisions.
That same afternoon, he found Mariah who was apparently also very hit by this incident. How not? he did not expect that in his castle there was another murder that was completely unexpected. Even the murder was sadistic. Mariah was speechless, in her room hugging a roll.
"I'm sorry, because this bad event happened" said Ammar.
"I can't believe this is happening again" Mariah murmured.
"I know you're devastated by this, Mariah. But we can't keep quiet. If we keep quiet, there might be something worse than this. This afternoon too, we must move quickly, so that the case is dealt with immediately. I can't be alone, need the help of my colleagues. For a while, let me secure this castle, while you go to the city, report this incident, but only to Reno and Dimas. Get them here as soon as possible with the medical team and investigators to evacuate and check the scene. Must leave this afternoon!" ammar's orders.
"Will this repeat?" ask Mariah.
"What is repeating?"
"A series of murders, as happened a year ago. I think these murders are going to be a tradition in this castle. Remember, once the writers lost in the dactile, then continue again with the Tiara case, now this happens. Is this really a curse?"mariah said with a hoarse voice.
"Calm down Mariah, everything's gonna be fine. If we are slow to move, bad things will happen. I'm really asking for your help, Mariah. We need to move quickly!"
Mariah heard only her husband's words. That very afternoon, he had prepared himself to go to the city. He will use the Ammar car, while Ammar will be in charge of maintaining the security of this castle more conducive. Before leaving, he made sure that the condition of the castle was fine. He did not say goodbye to the other inhabitants, because there was no time. He is carrying out an important message that must be conveyed to Reno and Dimas. Lidya's body had to be evacuated immediately to get immediate treatment,
