At half-four in the morning, Aish woke up to the loud ringing of her phone. Long enough he blinked his eyes to collect lives.
"Hour half-four, who's calling?" murmured while sliding the green icon to receive the call.
..."Assalamualaikum"...
Said Aish with eyes closed.
..."Waalaikum... Don't put the hape in the ear, it's a video call"...
someone said across there.
..."Oh, is it?"...
aish said while putting his phone in front of his face.
..."Hiya"...
richard said hello to his girlfriend this morning.
Aish wave, the face of his pillow looks full filled the screen of his phone. "Aduuhh, a great shame" Aish's inner self covered her face with one of her hands.
Richard laughed at Aish's very funny reaction.
..."Why covered? I've seen it"...
..." Shy me, face pillow gini even in the video call"...
..."You're still pretty, even prettiest"...
richard's successful words made Aish even more misbehaving.
..."Ih, I'm so embarrassed. Tumben clock is up?"...
asked Aish to switch the conversation, she was actually very embarrassed.
..."It's already six and a half"...
......"Where are you?"......
aish asked, apparently his life has not been collected perfectly.
..."I'm in front of your house"...
said Richard teasing Aish, apparently the girl's life is still scattered everywhere.
......"Cook anyway?" ......
ask Aish who wants to really get out of her house at this time.
..."Kidding, Ra. I'm in Japan again"...
......"Oh, aye. I forget. Lo part of the phone"......
......"I miss the same thing" ......
..."*Still in the morning already gombalin chick, hehehe"...
..."Really, you don't miss me*?"...
......"When do you come home?"......
Ask Aish random.
..."You're already very upset, aren't you? I just stayed a while and told him to go home. Uh, just pause. You go back home? Now you're alone again?"...
Asked Richard who saw Aish's background was his own room.
..."*Yes, semalem Hendra nganterin me to the house. I'm not at home with Falen"...
..."Wh why? It's dangerous to be home alone, Ra"...
..."Bang Siras was Falen's brother, I just found out last night*"...
Finally Aish tells Richard also about Siras who is brother to Falen.
..."Jeez, why did bule bego not tell you the same you anyway before?"...
Said Richard who was now confused as to how to keep Aish, they were blocked by distance and time this time.
..."Falen is my friend, don't say dong"...
Aish was a bit in disbelief as Richard mocked Falen.
..."*Yes I don't know why Falen didn't say that bang Siras was his brother. Only he had time to forbid me to make near the same bang Siras"...
..."Now I'm gonna be worried about lo*, Ra"...
......"*Lo take it easy, I'm right here with Hendra, there's Falen, Seno, kankong--"......
..."No need to mention all*"...
Richard said disconnecting Aish.
..."*Ish .. yes. When do you get home?"...
..."I think it will be a little long, because today the plan is still to have a kotsuage procession, and tomorrow there is a meeting with the big family mama here"...
..."What is kotsuage*?...
ask Aish who doesn't really understand foreign culture.
richard explained.
..."Oh githu ... Are all your brothers going there too?"...
..."*Yes, just this time all my family is gathered in grief"...
......"Already, you can't do that. Grateful to still be able to gather your family intact. I'm just trying to be grateful because it's still given a breath*"......
aish said sighing, actually in his heart he felt jealous because he missed his parents.
..."*I'm sorry, Ra. I promise I'll always be there for you"...
..."Lo mah apologies only, not yet Lebaran Richard, hehehe"...
..."I'm gonna ask you to call me baby"...
..."No ah, shame me"...
..."Cg, it's up to you"...
..."Uh, it's adzan. I hope you will pray in Mushola"...
..."Yes, be careful. Let me know if there's anything"...
..."Yes, by Richard*"...
Said Aish closing his call. He was worried this time, how would his heart be able to accept if it was true that Richard's brother would kill his brother?

By nine in the morning, Falen and Hendra had already visited Aish's house. The girl was enjoying her breakfast when her two friends arrived.
It doesn't take long, Aish is neat, they plan to regroup at Rian's house to talk about Alif's death.
Aish's closest friends are already there, leaving Seno still busy with his new movie which he says is already in the editing process.
"So, how's the bang? On what basis would I report Mr Alif's death to the police?" ask Aish.
"What about missing people? Let's be more rational" Falen said.
"Yes, it seems better indeed the news of the loss alone. Later we can more easily ask the surrounding neighbors if there are reports coming in" said Fian.
"Let's go with you to the princess police station" Falen said.
"Gue can't wait to know who did it" said Aish Lirih.
"Well, Aishyah, I will try my best to fully investigate this case" Fian said.

Snow fell quite heavily this morning, the atmosphere of the city looks crowded and orderly as Richard and his family marched in a hearse to the crematorium.
Richard was sitting in a car with Alando, his first brother, and Romeo his third brother. While Willy, his older brother, is in a different car, Willy is with Helda and the two children they are carrying. Papa and Mama Richard were driving the other car.
The view outside the window looks pleasant, people pass by in an orderly manner. They wear thick jackets and comfortable earplugs. High boots adorn the rush of their hasty steps.
Some people ride the train, others use ontel bikes, and many also walk. Everything is very neat.
"Gue listen, you girls have changed, huh? Your taste is now a heavenly chick, is that right, my lil brother?" romeo asked, his brother was only three years apart from Richard.
Richard turned his head to hear Romeo, for a moment he smiled cynically before answering a taunting question from his brother.
"I think, That's not your business" said Richard whose mood was not so good.
"Oh boy, I'm just asking" said Romeo, who was now embracing Richard's shoulder.
"Urus is your own boyfriend" Richard said.
"Lo know where it's coming from?" richard asked, apparently curious as well. Because all this time they never even exchanged news.
"My mom told me that you brought a hijab girl home" Romeo said.
"Cg, you're talking about me behind his back" Richard said.
Romeo chuckled a little with Richard's response, this little brother is indeed very cold.
"Stop talking about unimportant things" Alando said from the front seat, sitting next to his driver.
"Sister's life is too flat, try once in a while looking for a girlfriend. Enjoy your life while you still can, do not just busy with a pile of work" said Romeo. Of his three older brothers, Romeo does the most talking, and Alando holds the title of coldest iceberg.
"Shut your mouth, Romeo" said Alando haughty as ever.
Romeo chuckles again, if Alando and Richard are icebergs, then Romeo is the lava that can melt it.
"You lost to Richard, brother. As small as this, she has changed girlfriends a lot. Brother is very comfortable, even though Romeo sees here the woman is beautiful" said Romeo.
"Sister is not interested, you little boys only know dating. Stop that bullshit Romeo. Remember, we are in mourning" said Alando who succeeded in making Romeo speechless.
Actually, Richard likes his condition now, can sit together with his two brothers and chat a few things. But he's too stiff to chimed in on the words Romeo gave. Moreover, the mood is not good after knowing that Siras is the brother of Falen.
Until they reached the crematorium, they chose to stay silent with their respective phones. Romeo was no longer interested in bothering his brother. Both are too unflattering for a humble Romeo.
