Murder In The Old Castle
311. Rimmed
While all her friends were going to the waterfall, Mariah chose not to participate, as she had to prepare food for the castle's inhabitants. After all, he had gone to the waterfall several times, so he was not interested in participating in the small adventure. Previously, Lily had tried to persuade, but Mariah still insisted on staying inside the castle. Right now, he was focusing on slicing onions in the kitchen, while pondering about the events that had happened within his castle. The tragic murder of Lidya was clearly a terror for him. But events make his eyes wide open, to always be vigilant.
The departure of the small group to the waterfall, has been approved by Ammar, with the supervision requirements of two police officers, Ramdhan and Juned. Unfortunately, they both missed out because there was something to be done. As they were about to go on duty, they were both surprised to see no one in the side yard.
"Where are they?" ask Juned.
"Don't they leave first?" answer Ramdhan.
"Then, hurry! Let's go after them!" bring Juned.
"Do you know the way to the waterfall?"
"Well to see you too! Come on!"
The two policemen immediately rushed towards the exit of the castle, going towards the waterfall based on the directions that were still there. Indeed, the road leading to the waterfall in some parts still leaves signs that are deliberately made for visitors, so as not to get lost. It's just that the road sign at the intersection suddenly disappeared. The disappearance of the sign made the two policemen also huffed. They stood in confusion in the middle of the path, hoping to find another clue.
"Where are they going?" ask Juned
"Not knowing either. I've never been here" replied Ramdhan.
"Why do we just go back? We just tell Mr. Ammar that we lost track, because they left first" Juned said.
"You crazy? Later if there is anything we are blamed loh. Let's just find them. At least we have been looking for. Later if we don't keep an eye on it even wronged!" ramdhan Tegur.
Suddenly, from the direction of the left road, Aditya walked in a row with a pale face. The two policemen who were still at the crossroads immediately reacted. He immediately responded to the situation by questioning Aditya.
"What's wrong?" ask Ramdhan.
"Oh Sir! Agawat ..cruc!" aditya said with a sigh.
"Please, calm down. Tell me what happened! Just breathe!" Ramdhan tried to calm down.
Aditya took a deep breath, trying to dispel his panic. Then he started telling stories.
"So .. so it's like this. The three of us walked down the left side of the road. Me, Ryan, and Nadine. A while walking, suddenly Nadine could not bear to urinate. So it was Ryan who accompanied Nadine to pee, because she was her husband. But a few minutes later, Ryan shouted for help, because Nadine was mired in the ravine. Nadine's time is no longer there. Ryan told me to ask for help" Aditya said.
"God! Juned, quickly return to the castle for help, Mr. Reno or Mr. Dimas. I'll check the location of the ravine! Let's go over there!" ramdhan told Adit.
Juned immediately nodded. The young police rushed back to the castle, while Ramdhan and Adit also moved towards the site where Nadine was mired. However, just a few steps, suddenly the group from the right, namely Edwin and Rosita, also arrived at the intersection. Jeremy and Stella were nowhere to be seen, as they went straight to the waterfall, and waited for the other party there.
"We heard the thundering sound of the waterfall!" edwin said with a happy tone.
"Sorry, there was an accident. We need to help immediately!" ramdhan.
"What accident? Just make it a hassle!" groused Rosita.
Soon the couple followed Ramdhan in haste, breaking through the thickets. Aditya shows the place where he last met Ryan and Nadine. Under a large and shady tree, Ryan looked lethargic and panicked while pointing towards a fairly steep slope to the left of the road. The slope forms a slope of more than 45 degrees, making it steep enough to climb. Even if someone were to fall into the abyss, it would surely roll down and cause serious injuries.
"Nadzine ... Nadine! Please Nadine!" ryan said in a panic.
"Yeah. He was gonna pee, I told him to pee near this tree. Then I heard him scream, knowing he wasn't there. Looks like he's getting mired in here. Please help anyone find him!" pinta Ryan's.
"Let me come down, you just wait here!" Ramdhan.
"That's what I'm worried about. It's a real problem with Nadine. Onion anyway!" grumbled Rosita again.
"Shut up, Ros! I already know the condition of the gini as well," said Edwin.
Ramdhan seems quite experienced down that steep slope. He doesn't need a rope or other tools. Soon he slid down by balancing the body. He immediately checked the bottom of the ravine with a height of about 8 meters. The bottom of the ravine was filled with shrubs and small trees. Ramdhan checked around the bush growing wild there, but no sign of Nadine was found. However, he was suddenly shocked when he saw the tear of cloth and drops of blood between the leaves. His premonition instantly turned unpleasant. He was afraid, lest something bad happen to Nadine.
"Nadine!" peekkik Ramdhan's.
Unfortunately, Ramdhan's screeches just disappeared in the wind. The atmosphere at the bottom of the abyss was so silent, as if there was no one in that place. He was getting more anxious, the drops of blood disappeared, not found in other parts. He looked up, somewhere else was waiting. He felt, lest there be a bad incident that might not be an accident. Or is there no one to condition Nadine to fall, or is there some evil plan behind it?

Lily's entourage and friends apparently failed to find the location of the waterfall, so they decided to return. They were also separated from being lost. Lily, who was escorting the road, lost track of Maya Larasati and Farrel. The two people were left far behind, losing track.The first time Lily met was Farrel, who looked exhausted sitting under a tree.
"Where's Maya?" ask Lily.
"Don't know me, Ly. She was walking behind me, and suddenly Maya disappeared. I've been calling but there's no answer" Farrel said.
"Okay, how the hell are you Rel! What if there's anything? Let's go find him back there!"
Lily is upset with Farre because it seems that the man is not responsible for Maya's safety. He immediately returned to the back to look for Maya's whereabouts. Farrel actually felt reluctant, because he felt very tired of walking, but because Lily forced, inevitably he got up from his seat.
"We have to search until we can, Rail! I'm the head of the troupe. So if anything, it's me being wronged again" Lily grumbled.
Farrel did not answer, he just followed Lily's steps that look riled up. The two walked along a path covered in grass, but they could not find Maya's whereabouts. The girl seemed to be lost swallowed by the royal silence in the forest.
"His turn is okay" said Farrel.
Lily did not answer. He checked all the possible places around it, just in case he saw the existence of Maya. Suddenly, something unexpected happened. From behind the trees and bushes are quite thick, seen Maya who waved her hand.
"Lilly!!" pekik Mayan's.
Maya looks happy to see Lily's presence. Without waiting he immediately rushed up to Lily and Farrel.
"Where have you been, May?" ask Lily with a huff.
"I .. I was wrong. I thought you were on that road, it was dead end. Good thing I saw you!" Maya says.
"Other times the road is fast! Don't daydream. Remember, we're in the woods, not in the cities. Once you are lost, you will be lost forever. Don't act brave or pretentious. Now let's go back to the intersection of four. I hope someone can find the waterfall!" lily's orders.
