Detective Horror

Chapter 10 - Zulfikar VS Puspa

The tough woman was not measured by how much physical strength alone, but by how strong she faced all the obstacles that blocked her life.

A bright morning enveloped the sky that shaded the Village of Setaman Flower. The flowers bloom beautifully, adding to the beauty of the village located at the foot of the mountains.

Zulfikar was busy practicing martial arts in the villa's courtyard, while the flight attendant was busy preparing breakfast for the two of them.

"Pram! I'm going to jog around here. Do you want to come?" tawar Zulfikar who approached the Steward in the kitchen.

"You only! I was busy preparing breakfast. Don't go too far! After breakfast, we should start the investigation in the village." Steward reminded.

Zulfikar ran around the villa. He was interested in going to a larger villa located not far from the villa where he stayed. The view from there looks more beautiful.

The villa is located higher than the villa where Zulfikar and Pramuja stay. The view from there is really more beautiful. The entire village was seen very clearly, even the mountains and forests could also be seen from there.

Zulfikar's eyes were fixed on a figure standing on the edge of the abyss. He could not see the face of the man. Only her back alone was visible with long black hair tied in a ponytail style.

Zulfikar realized that the girl's feet were very close to the edge of the abyss. It looks like it's very dangerous.

Suddenly, the girl stretched her hands to the side.

"Great, it looks like he's about to take his own life!" zulfikar.

Zulfikar immediately ran towards the girl. Hugged him from behind, then dragged his body away from the edge of the abyss.

"Take me off!" the girl rebelled.

Zulfikar felt that the girl had great strength. Not like girls in general. Afraid that he would attempt suicide again if released, Zulfikar tightened the hug on the girl's body.

"Don't kill yourself, Ma'am! Everything can be discussed." Zulfikar tried to advise.

"A suicide? Who would kill themselves?" The girl continued to wriggle, trying to break away from Zulfikar's close embrace.

"Who? Not to commit suicide, right? But why stand too close to the edge of the abyss? And just now when I stretched out my hand, I thought the mama would jump."

Zulfikar released his embrace from the girl's body. The girl looked at him with a piercing glare. It seemed like he was already very angry towards Zulfikar.

Bukk!!!

Puspa raised a fist towards the heart of Zulfikar. He was very angry with Zulfikar's actions who just want to hug his body.

"Aw!!!"

Zulfikar cringed in pain holding on to his stomach. He did not deny that the beautiful girl would attack him. He was not ready to face the attack.

"Basic brash! How dare you touch me!" hardik Puspa's.

"Sorry, Mom! It's just a misunderstanding." Zukfikar tried to explain.

"Don't do a lot of bacots!"

Puspa began to attack Zulfiqar. Zulfikar this time was ready to fend off the Puspa attack. Zulfikar successfully countered several Puspa attacks. Puspa increasingly aggressively attacked him, making Zulfikar a little overwhelmed.

"This girl turned out to have very high martial ability," Zulfikar said in his heart.

"Sir Puspa, why fight?"

Lestari who heard the commotion around the villa, came in a hurry to check what was going on.

"It's just a misunderstanding! I thought he was about to commit suicide to plunge into the ravine." Zulfikar defended himself.

"Reason! I was practicing and doing some yoga. Where could I kill myself." Puspa did not believe in Zulfikar's confession.

"Yes, how do I know! I just saw you stretching out both hands. It was like a position about to plunge into a ravine. I was just trying to save you." Zulfikar began to lose his temper. The girl who accused him was like she did not want to hear his explanation.

"Already... It seems like this is just a misunderstanding. Never mind, sister, just forgive her," said Lestari.

"Okay, this time I forgive you! Next time, don't try to approach me again! Otherwise, I'll beat you up later!" Puspa threatened while clenching his fist towards Zulfikar.

"All right, Miss Galak! I seem to be kapok by now," slurried Zulfikar.

"Who is this, by the way?" ask Lestari.

"Oh, my name is Zulfikar. I'm a photographer. Me and my friend, staying at a villa not far from here. The plan is we'll take a photo of the scenery in the village full of flowers down there." Zulfikar.

"Gee, cool! Means can dong later I ask to be photographed with Mas? By the way, my name is Lestari and this is Puspa, a friend whom I consider to be my own brother." Lestari looks enthusiastic to get acquainted with Zulfikar.

"Of course I can. I'll introduce you to my friend as well. He was very happy to photograph a beautiful girl like you," Zulfikar smiled towards Lestari. The sight made Puspa feel uncomfortable.

"Photographer, but have a high level of martial arts skills? You are definitely not a random person!" Puspa was suspicious.

"I did learn the art of martial arts pencak silat as a hobby, as well as provisions to protect yourself. My first profession is a photographer. I have his card, but I'm not taking him now."

Zulfikar explained confidently. He was used to disguising himself and was very good at convincing people with his disguise.

"As far as you are! The important thing is, don't try to bother me again." Puspa said coldly.

"Food is ready, Ma'am Puspa, Mbak Lestari." The rose came from the villa. He just finished preparing breakfast.

"This who? Your friends too?" search Zulfikar, while watching the other beautiful girl who just came from the direction of the villa.

"He's actually from the village down there. He stayed at our villa. Last night he was..."

Not yet had Lestari explain the incident last night to Zulfikar, Puspa hurriedly prevented it.

"Last night he was excited to hear a story about the city. He had never been to the city, so was interested to hear the story from us. We took her all night." Puspa's lying.

Lestari became astonished by Puspa's behavior. But he did not try to protest. He decided to follow Puspa's plan.

"Mas Zul, don't you want to have breakfast with us?" tawang Lestari's.

Puspa's eyes moved as if to code Lestari. He's like banning Lestari from taking Zulfikar to their villa.

"No, thank you. My friend was waiting for me for breakfast. I have to go now. Nice to meet you guys."

Zulfikar said goodbye, then rushed back to the villa where he was staying.

The tail of Puspa's eyes sharply stared at Zulfikar's increasingly distant steps.

"An interesting guy. Besides being a martial artist, it turns out you're also very good at lying." Puspa said inwardly while smiling cynically.
