Murder In The Old Castle
XXXIXES. Leisure Time
The morning looks sad. The atmosphere of the castle is still overwhelmed with deep anxiety with the loss of dr. Dwi. After breakfast, the remaining writers chose to concern themselves with things that made them a little forget about all the bad things that happened.
In the living room, Hans played the piano very well. His hands are so good at pressing piano keys, making a series of beautiful soothing tones. He chose to play the tone of the legendary song ‘Can’t Help Falling in Love’ very nicely. The tone play left its listeners dissolved in the memory of a romance-filled past story.
After one song was finished, Maira who was listening immediately stood up and clapped her hands. He did not expect Hans to be so talented at playing the piano. Maira always argues, that men who are good at playing any musical instrument, must also be sexy. He looked at Hans with a radiant face.
“I don't think you're so talented, Hans!” puji Maira's.
“Thank you, Maira. I studied self-taught. I have a lot of musician friends, and it's ridiculous that I always see them when I play music. At that time, my desire to be able to make music became very big. I really learned starting from zero!”
“It turns out you're not only great in bed!”
Maira smilingly implied something strange, immediately replied with a sneer of Hans. Maira looked at Hans as if she was about to swallow him alive. Hans's piano playing was so intoxicating that he unconsciously sang along and shook his shoulders.
The sound of the clang of the piano was also heard in other parts of the house, precisely in the reading room. Unfortunately, the twang had no effect on Elina. The young girl stood looking out the window. His mind was screwed, not knowing what to do. To return to the city would have been too late. However, he cannot regret what has been his decision. There was nothing he could do but give up with everything that happened.
He was still immersed in his imaginary realm, when he felt someone holding his shoulder. He nodded in shock. Slowly he turned around, meeting the figure of a handsome young man he knew very well.
“Tak well alone here,” reprimand Aldo Riyanda who suddenly present behind him.
“You surprised me,” Elina said with a sigh. He threw his face back at the window.
“How did you sleep last night? I couldn't sleep last night thinking about you. As of this morning, Dr. Dwi's whereabouts are still mysterious and that worries me a bit. What I'm afraid of is really happening. I hope you can pack your clothes soon and get out of this bastard.”
Aldo said with a slightly agitated feeling. He hugged Elina from behind, hoping that the young girl would be calmer.
“To be honest, I also had a hard time sleeping last night. I don't know. The atmosphere is very quiet and scary. I can't figure out why you look so calm in the face of all this madness. Do you not realize that death can ask you at any time. I don't want anything to happen to you, baby!” elina.
Aldo Riyanda tightened his hold, so that Elina would feel more secure.
“I promise, after coming home from this castle. When all the business is done, I will gift you a diamond ring and we will soon formalize our relationship.”
“But aren't you also a murder suspect in this place? What if I marry a murderer?”
“You don't trust me?” Aldo tightened his embrace, so Elina was a little short of breath. He broke away from the young man's embrace.
“I hardly believe you. There is something you are still hiding. I heard that dead girl was also trying to seduce you! Is that true?” ask Elina.
“Dead girl? Do you mean it was Rania? Of course it's not true. Who did you hear that rumor from? Rania already has a lover, and actually Rania's lover was killed first. What you heard is not true at all!”
Aldo tried to defend himself, holding Elina's shoulder while looking into her eyes deeply. Elina evasive. He shook.
“You doubt my loyalty?”
It was a moment of silence when the couple looked at each other. Elina was at a loss for words. Aldo's gaze shook his heart and paralyzed all his veins. Aldo hugged Elina immediately, whispering softly,”I love you!”
“Sorry, am I interrupting?”
Suddenly a greeting voice sounded. Aldo immediately took off his embrace, directing his gaze at a girl who had just come to the reading room. Tiara Laksmi, entered the reading room with a fluffy smile. Elina was wrong.
“Of course not, Tiara. Sorry we were too emotional. Please find a book you like. We'll be out of here soon. Come baby!” Aldo pulled Elina's arm out of the room immediately.
“Oh, you can be here. Sorry, I didn't mean to kick you out. Maybe I came at an inopportune time earlier!” prevent Tiara.
“No, Tiara. We were planning to take a walk for a while. Please just continue!”
Aldo immediately left the reading room with Elina. They plan to find a good photo object to be used as a collection. They want to prepare all shooting equipment such as cameras and tripods that are stored in Elina's room.
“That girl also likes you right?” whispered Elina.
“Tiara? He's just a regular friend ...”
“Do not lie! I can see from his eyes to you. I'm a woman, I can't be lied to. I know very well the meaning of that gaze,” said Elina.
“Entaih! I don't care, Elina. Maybe you're right, Elina. A lot of girls like me, but as long as I don't give them any hope, it's not a problem. I don't like them either. I just love you, Elina!”
Aldo confirmed his words by stealing the kiss on the young girl's cheek. Elina was surprised. Aldo's words were so sweet it sounded in the ears. He loved Aldo very much. Unfortunately the conditions in the castle are very unfavorable. I don't know when they can get out of this castle, alive of course.
They arrived in front of Elina's room, but Aldo did not enter. However, he had to obey Helen's rule that they should not be alone in one room. In fact, Hans had infiltrated Maira and Tiara's room.
“You wait here, I set up my photography equipment first,” Elina said.
The young girl went into the room, to pick up the needed tools. But he was very surprised, when he found his camera was already on the bed. Who put it there? Did anyone break into his room?
He felt anxious. He checked his other photography equipment, nothing was missing. So who has borrowed his camera without permission? Next to the camera are two photographs and a small note written in a torn paper.
With a thumping feeling Elina took a photo lying on her bed. He was suffocating slowly.
“Gosh! Who did this?”
