The Murder of the Beloved
Chapter 32

All he thought about was how Bram actually looked at him from behind! Did Bram really not intend to disturb him as he first suspected? Though it is now an opportunity for Bram if he really wants to disturb, and not before when his mother was still there. Does Bram not feel the need to pretend anymore because his goal has been achieved? What purpose? It's impossible for Bram to get rid of his mother without motivation.

Then Johan tells him about Bustaman's promise to talk to Bram to get the man to move house. Johan expressed his sense why Bustaman had not yet invited Bram to speak. Of course, Dinda said she was happy to have Bram out of her house. He is not afraid to live alone with Bi Imah. Being about daily expenses, can not they live from the interest of his mother's deposit? His father can be relied upon for that.

Meanwhile Bustaman did not not not remember his promise. It's just that it takes time to consult a legal expert. Do not let him expel people without legal basis. After getting an explanation that a husband is not entitled to the property of the wife obtained from the inheritance, then he feels relieved. Both the deposit money owned by Lilis and her home inherited from her parents, not from her own income during her married life. So all of Lilis's possessions fell into Dinda's hands. And because Lilis had no income of his own, it is not the name of the treasure gono gini, so Bram is not entitled to a share.

After that Bustaman held a meeting with Bram one afternoon without saying first what he wanted to talk about. Bram expressed his agreement. Meanwhile Dinda was told as well. He was asked not to attend because he was worried about emotions. Dinda agrees. He's going to his father's house.

So at the appointed time Bustaman came with Della. Bram greeted them kindly. After sitting face to face, it clearly seemed that the three of them were feeling less comfortable.

"The meaning of our arrival will probably be less pleasing to Mr. Bram. For that we hope your great heart understands the question." Bustaman starts with a pleasantries. He saw Bram's forehead sweating and his mustache twitching. Surely the man was more agitated than he was, he thought to calm his own feelings. Tasks like this are more burdensome than the most difficult surgeries.

"I'm ready, Mr. Bus. Don't be heavy-hearted. Actually, I must frankly say that I myself need this meeting to convey a very sad problem. I didn't know how to tell it until I had to stall for time. It just so happens that there is this opportunity. I realize I can't measure any longer."

Bustaman looked at Della. What's the problem? Bram's attitude was so serious and even anxious.

"What's the matter, sir?" Della precedes asking. He was very curious.

"Ah, it seems that we both have problems to raise. Because Mr. Bram said the problem was sad. What the hell?" ask Della again.

Bram is sad with a sad face. A little while ago he spoke, "I'm very sorry for Dinda because her mother left nothing for her except debt" he said in a soft but clear voice.

"What?" scream Della. Bustaman jumps out of his chair due to a double shock. First the information conveyed Bram, and both the voice of his wife.

"Lilis spent her fortune at the gambling table! I'm sorry I couldn't stop it!"

"lik! Lilis never gambled!" della with a very angry face. "You must be lying. He can't defend himself."

"I'm not lying" said Bram in a low-key manner. His face was looking down. "You don't know where he's been all day. Know-how he said he had debt while his deposit was already spent."

"Want this house?" tanya Bustaman is horrified.

"It was mortgaged to the bank. I'll take the letter." Bram stood up and headed towards the sideboard not far from where they were sitting. He took a map from one of his drawers. Apparently it's been prepared. The map he presented to Bustaman.

Bustaman with Della was equally shocked to see a bank credit statement of one hundred and fifty million rupiah with the house as collateral. It's hard to believe that, but reality is in sight.

"To pay his debt."

"No way!" della is full of emotions. "He never told me. He always told me there was a problem. Don't you take the money. Didn't you ever borrow fifty million?"

Bram raised his face and looked at Della. His face revealed an offended pride. But Della kept looking at him glaring. "I've returned the money. Did he not tell you too?" bram said slowly. His attitude is like that of a man on trial.

"Yes. He recounted. So why isn't the larger amount of money being told?"

"Well, how do I know. Maybe because he's ashamed of what he did."

"You must have tricked him!" exclaiming Della. He trembled at the thought that Dinda had lost everything. Too bad. "Lilis is a good person to keep. He loves his treasure. Where it might be spent on gambling."

"Therefore how could he possibly allow himself to be deceived by me?" Bram retaliated. "To borrow fifty million alone is very difficult to give. Especially giving it all. Where is it possible."

"I can't believe he likes to gamble. Let's say, where's he gambling?" challenge Della.

"He won't say."

"Lied!"

"I'm not lying. He's afraid I'm retaliating against the guy who knocked him out. I certainly intend to defend. Believe me, Miss Della. I'll investigate it. I also feel guilty and guilty. My worries are coming true now. If I knew what his activities were right now, I could have banned him or persuaded him. Honey I don't know."

Della was at a loss for words to attack. He felt so devastated that he leaned his head briefly on Bustaman's shoulders. Bustaman was still confused. He tried to think rationally as is his habit all along. He tends not to believe. But just talking certainly does not produce anything. Didn't they completely lose track of Lilis? he can't be questioned anymore?

The opportunity was used by Bram to speak again, "To show my responsibility, I am willing to pay the bank interest every month. But let me stay in this house."

Della jerks. So did Bustaman. It feels like they have been hit by a huge reply. Not forward has gone backwards.

"It is precisely for this business that we come, sir," said Bustaman. "You certainly already know, how Dinda feels and attitudes towards you. So how could you two live together? It's best if you're not home.'

"I understand what you mean, Bus. I know that I am not entitled to this house. That's why I asked permission first. If it's not allowed, it's okay. But what about the bank interest? Of course it will be heavy for me if I have to continue to pay while I have to spend money to contract the house. But I feel sorry for Dinda."
