Murder In The Old Castle
VII. Door Locked
Tiara Laksmi and Adrianna Chen chose to sit on an old garden bench to enjoy tea under a dim light bulb. Hundreds of tiny insects danced around the light bulb in search of warmth. The atmosphere in the garden was rather cold and dark. Time still showed at seven o'clock in the night, but silence after creeping enveloped the old castle.
“So why did you choose such a genre?” ask Adrianna.
“Entahlah. Maybe my thinking ability is just that. I write things that most people like. Simple, vulgar and easy to understand language. My novel can not be compared with your novel that is so detailed tells the household tempest, as if exploring the drama of someone's personal life,” explained Tiara Laksmi.
“I have never read your novel, but would love to. Who knows can inspire my next story.” Adrianna took a sip of the cup of tea she was holding.
“Not allowed, but I suggest don't!” tiara Laughter.
“Why?”
“Because you will only find trash there.”
“Junk? I don't think that far. Because each writer has his own aspirations to convey his writing. It's a matter of taste. Basically, the taste of each person is not the same. Maybe you like something for what it is, but I like the gentleness. Of course it can not be forced on each other,” said Adrianna.
This woman is intelligent, inner Tiara Laksmi. He could judge from the sharp eyes of Adrianna Chen. Suddenly he felt only a grain of dust compared to Adrianna. He did not dare to argue anything.
“You told me about personal problems?” adrianna Tawal.
“What does it like for example?”
“Family possible ..”
“I have no family in Jakarta. Living alone in a contract house. I was saving up to buy a house. Hopefully it can be achieved this year,” said Tiara Laksmi.
The sales turnover of Tiara Laksmi novels can indeed be said to be quite decent. His cheap work is always awaited by orgasm worshipers throughout the country. Sales of novels are quite high, also accelerate the acquisition of rupiah sheets into the coffers.
This is inversely proportional to the more elegant Adrianna novel. Adrianna novels are only found in bookstore outlets that have extensive networks throughout the country. Adrianna's novel was designed in a luxurious cover, then wrapped in plastic at exorbitant prices.
“Nice.”
“You're married?” search Tiara Laksmi to Adrianna.
Tiara's question suddenly made Adrianna's face turned sad. His eyes glared deep into the darkness that enveloped the surrounding garden. The sound of crickets adds to the silence of the atmosphere.
“Near.”
“Almost?”
“My wedding plan failed ...” muttered Adrianna Chen with a sigh.
“Sorry, you don't need to tell if you don't want to,” Tiara said later.
“Maybe next time, Tiara..,” murmured Adrianna.
There is something hidden behind Adrianna's mysterious smile. Tiara was also reluctant to look any further at the personal affairs of others.
They were silent, until they finally decided to go back to their rooms. The mood is getting thick. Even the sky also looks dark, does not show the collection of stars. Silence is becoming more blind. The night continued its march towards the morning.

Karina is desperate. Sweat began to drip on the tip of his forehead. Many times he tried to open the steel door, but the door seemed sturdy not budging. The atmosphere became more stuffy. Oxygen is depleted. Karina was worried. Will his life end in this room?
Suddenly he felt a flow of oxygen from outside. The steel door opened slowly. He found Aldo and Michael standing looking at him in wonder.
“What are you doing here?” ask Michael.
“Locked? How can?”
“I don't know either. I was opening up the books in this place, suddenly this door was closed hard. I tried to open it but I couldn't. If you do not come, then it is certain that I will rot in this place,” said Karina.
“The door is self-closed? You mean blown by the wind?” search Michael.
“A door as heavy as this is impossible to blow in the wind. We're in the basement. There was no way the wind could just go in and slam the door! Don't be stupid!” argue Aldo.
“That's nothing to think about. This door is broken, so it might be able to close by itself. How's your investigation going?” ask Karina.
“It looks like we'll talk about it tomorrow after breakfast later let everyone hear. How?” haggard Michael.
“Good idea!” Aldo. Karina also nodded.
Before leaving, Karina kept the old-enveloped diary she had read. His curiosity peaked. It seemed like there was important information contained in the old diary.
“What do you bring that?” ask Michael.
“A diary. I don't know. I'm curious. It seems to have been written a few decades ago. The page is also incomplete. There is the initials name A.P. in the cover ..” said Karina while opening the dusty diary sheet.
“A.P.? Is that the initials of a person's name?” ask Aldo.
“Maybe ... see this sentence!” Karina showed a page to two of her co-authors.
I saw those humans. They were naked and tied up. His screams made me unable to sleep. It's as creepy as the howling of a demon in the middle of the night. I saw him coming. Dark ruler.
“This sentence is terrible ...,” muttered Aldo Riyanda.
“Ya, like telling a tragic incident that happened in plain sight,” Karina replied.
“But the grammar is good. Like a writer. Maybe it's a writer's diary,” Aldo Riyanda said again.
“Bring that diary! Looks like interesting to learn!” michael's orders.
The three authors immediately went up to the kitchen, then intended to return to their respective rooms. Sweat drenches throughout the body. Inside the basement, there was barely any oxygen. They took a deep breath from above.
“You can come back first!” karina.
“Where are you?” ask Michael full of questions.
“I want to get some fresh air around the pool. It won't be long!”
“Self?”
“Of course! I'll be fine."
Michael and Aldo can't stop Karina. Besides, Karina's not going anywhere. The castle complex is quite large, but access is quite difficult. To get out, at least a car is needed.
Karina Ivanova, the Eastern European-faced girl walked slowly down the quiet backyard. Swimming pool water looks sparkling because of the reflection of light. It's scary enough, but Karina brushes off her fear. He walked while occasionally opening the diary sheet that he brought.
Suddenly he heard gasping for breath behind a wall near the bathroom rinse. The voice was a bit strange, sparking Karina's curiosity to get close.
Who are these nights in such a solitary place?
He looked away, looking back at the wall. The sight that made his blood rustle faster. Karina looked at the two human figures who were clenching lustfully without realizing her presence.
The man, handsome gardener Yoga, is making out with his sexy assistant, Rania.
What a heart-wrenching sight. A few seconds Karina stood pecking, staring at that lustful scene.
Luckily they are still dressed!
Yoga turned his head quickly, noticing an intruder watching his whereabouts. The woman was also surprised. He did not think their actions would be caught by others.
“Ma-sorry .. I don't mean to interrupt. Please continue!” said Karina immediately left the couple.
“Wait!” shout Yoga.
Karina turned her body.
“Don't till you tell me whatever you see! Or you're sorry!” yoga Ancam.
Karina nodded. He hurried away feeling uneasy, while the gaze of Yoga continued to cling until Karina was invisible.
“I'm afraid ...,” whispered Rania.
“Quiet, everything will be fine.”
“I hope so.”
“Let's continue that delayed earlier," Yoga smiled mischievously. Rania replied with a nod. They slipped back behind the wall, finishing a slightly delayed affair.
