A Friend from Malaysia

Black Goat

"Hhhukk!!!Uhhuukk!!!"

Melisa coughed in thick smoke and tried to get out of the door of Atok Yahya's room. Just as he was about to get out of the room he suddenly heard Ilham barging in and yelling for his Atok.

Melisa had no other choice but to hide while under Atok Yahya's bed even though the thick smoke made her eyes ache and her breathing feel suffocated.

With self-defense starting to weaken the girl chose the path from the side door to exit. He was afraid that from the front he would meet this family member and strafe him with questions that he would find difficult to answer later.

Now he must immediately inform Mr. of the letter. Y. In his hand there were now 2 envelopes that he took carelessly. Melisa wanted to take everything and read it one by one but then she stopped doing it. He was afraid of being caught while he had not done his mission. And now two envelopes filled with the letter, he put it in his pants pocket.

"Astaghhhfirullah!!! Ade people are here!!! Help me!!! Dik, aren't you coming?" A father who turned out to be a neighbor who also extinguished the fire was surprised to see Melisa who was on the porch next to the house with a limp body.

"No api, Uncle! Take ape. Saye can walk on her own" she refused as the man wanted to help her.

"Let's help me get to the front. Take it, saye's not a bad guy. I'm a neighbor here" said the man, who appears to be in his 40s.

And inevitably Melisa was forced to obey when the man helped her walk to the front.

"Sister Zubaidah, the housekeeper I found beside the house" the man reported to Zubaidah his discovery of Melisa.

Zubaidah.

"Astaghfirullah, this isn't the housekeeper, brother. This is Sonia's caretaker" Zubaedah said shortly after she managed to identify Melisa.

"Oh like that? Saye doesn't know, brother. I accidentally saw him sitting limp to the side. And I will help you, too" said the man.

Zubaidah.

"Thank you, if that's the case, brother!" zubaidah. "Could you please don't come?"

Zubaedah turned his attention to Melisa who was immediately answered by the gadia with a nod.

"If that's so, excuse me. The fire is dead. And if the family sister wants to spend the night at saye's house until tomorrow, just come with saye at home. In this house there is still a lot of smoke, it cannot be occupied (occupied) tonight," said the man who became his neighbor Atok Yahya.

Zubaidah weighed in for a moment.

"But there are so many maids here, you can't take Dik Amir's house to all of us" Zubaidah told his neighbor, who turns out to be Amir.

"Haisss, although saye's house is not as big as Nirwan's house, but if only to accommodate 15-20 people je for the night, still can kite to arrange a bed together in the guest room, that's," amir said convincingly.

After thinking for a moment Zubaysah finally replied, "Alright, if it does not make difficult Dik Amir and Family. If you'd like, we'll ask for permission to stay overnight until the next day the house is cleared."

"I'm not afraid of saye. Sort of with the ready. Kite has long been very neighborly, for ape feel bad?" amir.

"Together."

Zubaidah finally agreed to the neighbor's offer to temporarily evacuate the neighbor's house.

Anyway, just for last night.

And finally here is where they're going tonight. In the neighboring house which is three houses from the Nirwan family's house.

After all the household assistants of the Nirwan family gathered, Zubaidah began to ask what happened until there was a fire like that. From the information he got from the person who helped extinguish the fire, the fire seemed to come from a gas cylinder that exploded.

"Now please answer me honestly! Which one of you kindled a fire and just left it out to make a big explosion like that? Fortunately, there is no such thing as lilaka. But as a result my father-in-law Saye Tengku Yahya Nirwan had to be brought to the hospital because he was surprised by the explosion. Saye can understand and forgive if you are honest and claim to forget to turn off the furnace (stove) from the fake powder does not know," asked Zubaidah firmly.

All the housekeepers were speechless.

"No one confessed?" ask Zubaydah again. "Or do you want to take this to the police first and then do you all want to be honest?" ask Zubaydah again.

"Sorry, Mum. Saye doesn't know if the evidence I'm doing this can help. Saye had no reason to drop anyone else doing this, but I saw that brother ...." Melisa pointed to one of the housekeepers she had seen carrying a hot water flask out of the kitchen before Melisa launched her action.

"My sister looked out of the kitchen with hot water, ketike saye to the toilet. After that I went back to the room and soon heard the sound of an explosion like a bomb," said Melisa made up the story.

Indeed Melisa wants to find a scapegoat so that no one suspects her as the real culprit of the kitchen burning.

"Purely?? Right into that?" asked Zubaidah to his servant named Murni.

Pure spontaneous pale and shook his head in fear. From earlier when there was an explosion he himself was worried that someone was accusing him because shortly after he came out of the kitchen, the sound of the explosion was immediately heard and burned almost the entire kitchen.

"Pu- lady. That's not saye. Saye did go to the kitchen earlier, cooking hot water to take to the room. Because I can't drink cold water. Saye always drinks warm water. Saye always prepares hot water in a thermos every night. But saye never forgets the furnace. Really Mrs .... Last night I made sure the furnace was dead. Saye had been in the room for a long time and the sound of the explosion was heard" he said in self-defense.

Pure almost cried because it was accused of being the cause of the fire.

"Please believe me, Puaaan," she lamented with tears. "Please don't throw saye at the police. Who would like to find for saye's mother who is old bile saye go into bui? Huuuu ...."

Zubaydah was filled to hear it. He knew Murni and his family. The girl is an outgoing neighbor of Atok Yahya who is in Penang. Working for 3 years with the Nirwan family, Zubaidah knows the 27-year-old girl always works neatly and thoroughly. But .... If not him, who?

Then Zubaedah looked at Melisa with a frown making Melisa so nervous and lowered her gaze.
