GROANS OF DESTINY

S3 - Chapter 28

May I ask you a question?

About how you looked when you saw me? what you think and feel when you see me

Thats enough. That's all it is.

Riani turned to look at an apartment room that was already quite crowded with people.

Riani tried to pass one by one people - people who were huddled in a narrow alley of apartments, the, riani's gaze immediately focused on a man with a long-haired woman next to him in a standing position but not moving.

Riani stepped in even though her head was a little dizzy from the whispers - the whispers of the people behind her.

"Mas.." call Riani slowly.

The man who was standing there turned his gaze with a surprised look on Riani.

"Sa... baby?" murmured Albern who was still shocked.

"It's normal to express, don't be like someone who is cheating" said Riani, placing her palm in Albern's eyes.

Riani continued her steps, she looked out at the body of the man who was lying down, a lot of blood scattered around her body, Riani did not shudder at all, he had been used to seeing scenes like this since becoming a Confiance firm lawyer, let alone a scene like this was also a sight that was not foreign enough to Riani's childhood.

The tip of the knife is clearly visible on the body of the dead man who is now lying down. Riani gathered near those eyes, watching every inch of the corpse.

"Hey! someone called the ambulance and the police, didn't they!?" riani shouted so that her voice reached outside.

Everyone in the room and in front of the entrance stared at each other.

"Let me call!" exclaiming Enne who just came with a big breath of boredom while removing her HP from the small bag on the left side of her waist.

Riani held onto the corpse's wrist, checking the freezing of her body. But the time of death of the corpse may have been somewhat guessed because of the heat temperature of the AC emitted. But Riani's guess is the death of the corpse is not enough 2 hours because the blood is still flowing and the floor of the room feels quite moist in the area of the victim's lower body, maybe it's because of the blood of the victim.

"Nobody mentioned a corpse at all right?" ask Riani slowly.

"No" replied Albern.

"Is this the victim's apartment?" enne asked as she stepped into the room after calling the police station and the hospital earlier.

The woman next to Riani's husband shook her head "this is my apartment room" she replied in a voice that clearly sounded hoarse but slow.

"Who's your name?" enne looked at the woman's face.

"Rasy" replied Rash slowly.

Enne nodded understanding "you know that guy Rasy?" enne asked while pointing at the body of the corpse.

Rash was silent for a moment then he nodded his head "Yes"

"Who?" connect Enne.

"She's my ex-boyfriend" replied Rash.

"Owh ex-girlfriend ya. " said Enne with a faint smile looking at Albern. "Then why did you get to be with Sir Albern Rash? is he your new boyfriend?" ledek Enne who now walks slowly to the side of the corpse and rests in front of Riani who seems to still live on the side of the corpse.

"No!" rasy who is still worried.

Enne stood up again and walked towards Rasy while patting her shoulder "Already, you don't have to worry I'm just joking" Enne said as she continued her steps out.

"Are all of you here residents of this apartment?" ask Enne.

They all looked back at each other.

Enne let out a long breath. "Who is the owner of this apartment?" ask Enne back.

"Ene! what's the matter?!" ask a man who seems to be sweating with a lot of stuff in his pocket.

Enne took out a key from her small bag which she had taken from a plant pot next to the door of Vank's apartment earlier. "You save your groceries first, after that come back here" explained Enne embraced by Vank.

"So no one wants to answer? or because you don't believe me?" enne asked as she picked up the wallet in her small bag, Enne opened her purple wallet and took out a piece of paper from it. "This is my business card" Enne said as she held up her choosing business card which read her name and profession.

"Are you really a member of the Confiance firm, miss?" ask one of the men standing in front of Enne.

"You're really a member of that great firm, miss?" sahut an old woman.

Enne nodded.

"Are you one of the residents of this apartment?" ask Enne to a woman on the left.

The woman shook her head "No lady, I'm the fruit seller in front of you" the woman replied, pointing to a small building opposite the apartment.

"Why are you here?" enne asked, frowning.

"I heard faintly the voice of the lady's cry, and as I glanced towards this apartment I saw many people flocking to this apartment, miss, so because I was curious I was here" explained the woman.

"Before that did you see anyone break into this apartment? or to this apartment room?" ask Enne.

The woman was silent for a moment and seemed to think of something "at 10 I saw someone with a black coat, miss, and a few minutes ago I saw 2 women - oh maybe that woman is the lady and the lady's friend over there" said the woman while pointing her pointer to Riani who was still rested on the side of the corpse "then in the opposite direction to the same time when the lady and the lady's friend went up, I saw the man and Rash" explained the woman.

"You know that woman named Rash?" enne asked as she pointed towards Rasy.

"Sure miss, she often buys my fruit" replied the woman.

Enne nodded her head and turned her face to a man with thick glasses in front of her.

"You're one of the residents of this apartment?" ask Enne back.

The bespectacled man nodded his head "Yes miss, I was in the next room when I heard Miss Rasy's scream, I was finishing my college assignment" he replied clearly.

"You know him too?" enne asked while pointing at Rasy.

The bespectacled man nodded his head "Sure lady, he is a campus with me despite the different faculties, let alone our neighbors so there is no way we do not know each other" replied the bespectacled man.

Enne said "Did you see anything suspicious before or hear anything?" ask Enne.

The bespectacled man was silent for a moment thinking of something "I don't see anything, miss, because I always sat in front of the computer, but a few hours ago, I can't remember exactly when, but certainly at that time I was like hearing something heavy fall" explained the man with the glasses.

"Ene! so what's up?" ask Vank who has returned with no bags of food or snacks anymore.

"There's a dead man" Enne replied.

"What's!? who died Rash?" shocked Vank.

"You know that woman too?" ask Enne.

"Of course, she used to share her fruit salad with me" Vank replied.

"Owh is that so? but unfortunately the one who died was not the woman" replied Enne who was now staring at a woman who was still holding a notebook in her hand.

Because consciously in the face of Enne the woman opened her words "I am the resident of this apartment, I live on the lower floor right below this room" he said directly to Enne.

"Did you hear the same sound as this man?" enne asked while pointing at the man in glasses.

The woman nodded "I did hear something, but I didn't know what it was, because I was in the bathroom, when I heard my screams coming straight here, just then I was outside putting on shoes to go to college" explained the woman.

"You didn't mention Rash, you didn't know him?" ask Enne curiously.

The woman shook her head "I just moved yesterday afternoon" replied the woman.

"Wh well-" said Enne, who stopped after she heard the sound of ambulances and police car sirens.
