The Mystery of the Dead Village
Episode 4 - Whisper

The three men passed through a small alley with a sign that read the cost of sons and daughters, the alley was only one meter wide next to Nyai Gendis' house. The road was slightly down and muddled, dried leaves and small branches splattered everywhere, the left and right walls were full of scribbles, many porous and cracked parts, and the, also paint that has been peeling due to frequent rain.

Ali walked behind the two women who were busy talking in front of him, ah errat the only girl.

By scrolling Alea's suitcase, because it should be brought directly, if left silent nangkring on the motor there is no guarantee it will be safe. Yes, even though the contents are only in the form of clothes, it is still not allowed to be left without anyone to guard.

Ali's your dream brother, right? so attentive to his sister that he did not let her fatigue or make his hands ache because of carrying heavy loads. Alea's status was only a half-sister, but her sense of regret was so great and her form of concern only she knew.

After turning left, just in front of the two-story boarding houses lined up and facing, there are 12 boarding rooms, there are 12 boarding rooms, six rooms on the left with three rooms each on the lower and upper floors, as well as on the right. The stairs are at the very end, after which there is only a wall, there is no way anymore. Yes, after entering the small alley, this is the path of the mountain ends in a boarding house.

Smaller than Ali's cost, but it looks comfortable. The doors and windows are brown, while the walls are white. Some rooms that have not been occupied are a little dusty, many cobwebs on the ceiling, and the terrace looks dirty.

A few meters before arriving at the cost was already smelled the smell of jasmine flowers that burst into the nasal cavity. And sure enough it turns out in front of the terrace is filled with jasmine flowers, because so many scents it really sniffed very sharp.

Surprisingly here was only filled with jasmine flowers, whereas in Nyai Gendis's courtyard, Alea saw several kinds of flowers, such as red roses, white roses, as well as a nightly treat. Not only Alea, actually Ali was a little uncomfortable with excessive jasmine flowers like that.

They were just looking at her outside condition, Alea was a little hesitant to stay here alone. Soon he tepis his negative thoughts, because at this time he really needs a place to stay.

The sound of the motor sounds loud from the direction of the alley entering the boarding yard. Two girls dressed in casual clothes got off the bike after the engine died. They look like college kids with carrying bags and wearing sneaker shoes.

"Hang, Nyai." Greet one of them to Nyai Gendis.

"Just too, Goddess, Lia. You guys just got back from college?" reply Nyai Gendis pleasantries.

"Lecture is on holiday, Nyai. We were just playing at a friend's house." Lia replied, short hair girl shoulder to shoulder.

"Who are they, Nyai?" this time Dewi asked, he would be very enthusiastic if there were new residents in the boarding house.

"Know this is Alea and her brother, Ali. Alea is a regional boy who plans to spend time here." Nyai Gendis said to Dewi and Lia.

"Oh yes Alea, this is there Goddess and Lia who live in this boarding house as well, you can make friends and help each other if anyone needs it later." He went back to Alea.

Alea extended her hand while getting acquainted. "Russia, mbak. And this is my brother, Ali." He smiled kindly.

They welcome enthusiasm, happy to get a new friend one boarding, let alone look at his age that does not seem far apart.

"Welcome, Alea. Hope it's at home." Lia.

"Are you the only one who will stay here, Alea? Didn't Ali come?" ask Goddess.

Just as Ali was about to reply, Alea's voice stopped him.

"No, mbak. Lea wants to try to be independent" he said with a smile.

"Ohh that's good, you're pretty thinking mature turns out." Connect Goddess.

"Let's just talk again, we have to clean up first." Said Lia.

"Eh, yes please." Alea let them go to his room upstairs.

"Let's Alea, we see the room I've cleaned." Take Nyai Gendis to one of the rooms downstairs.

If the Dewi room is in the corner near the stairs and Lia is next to the Goddess or in the middle on the top floor. In contrast to Alea who was at the bottom and the front facing a narrow and dark alley. Because indeed in the alley there is no lighting, the lights are only in the boarding house.

Seeing a room that was clean and worthy of use made Alea want to quickly occupy it. This room only consisted of two plots, small but enough for a Alea, it was only natural that the price was fairly cheap.

"What about the room, Lea? clean and comfortable, right?" ask Nyai Gendis.

"Yes, Nyai. I think I'll stay here." Alea replied as she took a look at every corner of the room.

"Let's see the kitchen and the bathroom." Nyai Gendis walked first in front, Alea and Ali tailed behind him.

Kitchen and bathroom that share space, one plot into two places, be quite narrow.

goii~

goii~

Maybe in the next room you were chatting with someone. It flows in the heart.

"How, deck? according to Brother quite comfortable place, do you want to directly occupy? if so, I'll help you with your stuff." Ali's voice resuscitated Alea from her daydream.

"Ah yes Kak, you guys will buy the cost needs yes, I do not bring a lot of stuff." Alea.

"Not brought much stuff? look at the jumbo travel suitcase you brought." Ali chuckled at the suitcase, which seemed to know what was inside.

"Gee! it means things I can't possibly carry, like a closet and a mattress." Alea murmur.

"Okay, sweet sister, anything for you." Said Ali while gently rubbing the head of the younger brother.

"So you fit in this room, Lea?" nyai Gendis asked to make sure that Alea would actually occupy the room.

"Yes Nyai, I just put my stuff right here, okay?" Alea was a little enthusiastic about having a new residence, let alone having friendly boarding neighbors like Dewi and Lia. I don't know why there was doubt in his heart.

Nyai Gendis smiled happily as Alea was about to make her way to that room.

And Alea thought that Nyai Gendis was very friendly smile, seeing that the woman was always smiling when talking to him.

Nyai Gendis nodded. "May, as long as you pay the down payment first, yes." The answer.

"Why, Nyai?" asked Alea while pulling her bag.

"250 thousand per month and 100 thousand in advance." Cheap indeed, according to the place and environment.

Alea opened her sling bag and took out the money that was in her purse.

"This is the money, Nyai." Not Alea, but Ali who first gave two pieces of money to Nyai Gendis.

"Why did my sister pay him?" tanyanya did not like.

"For now let Brother pay, later you can pay off the DP." Ali looked at Alea.

"Let's go, brother, I have the money." Reply Alea did not accept, he felt bad if the brother who paid him.

"Save it, Deck. You haven't worked, you've been flirted with until you get a job." Ali said while persuading Alea to allow herself to help pay the room rent.

Alea confirmed Ali's words, it is true that he will find a job after this so as not to depend on his parents and brother again.

Ali had helped find him a job before, but had not found any jobs that were in need of employees. Maybe he'll find her again with Alea.

"All right, thank you, Brother Ali. If Lea's working later, I'll change the money." He smiled at Ali.

"No need, Lea! you don't consider this Brother someone else, because this includes Brother's responsibility."

"But it's.." Alea wanted to argue but his mouth was immediately silenced by the elder brother's decree that had to be obeyed.

"Don't argue, Deck." Declared.

Nyai Gendis again smiled to see him, it seems that this time the smile was addressed to Ali who was so attentive to his sister.

GO YOU!!!
