Love in Mystery

At the house of Jio...

“Sign in, Fir. Sorry if it's messy,” said Jio once the door was open.

Without hesitation, I entered. I looked around the room and I could see that it was a little messy.

“Yo, indeed you never finish what this room lo?” my question while trying to help Jio tidy up the scattered objects.

“Not too soon, Fir. Yes understand lha, Fir. I know for myself that I am not just in college. I also have to work for my daily life,” he explained.

At that time, I was silent and did not respond to his words. I continue to do my job of cleaning things up. Until one day...

“This photo again. Looks like this photo is no stranger,” murmured me in heart.

“What's up, Fir?” jio asked who was watching me.

“Oh. Here, Yo. Every time I come here, I always find this photo on this table. Who is this, Yo?” my many.

“Mana? Try here I see,” said Jio while then taking a look at the photos on display.

“Oh it. This is our SMU friend, Fir. Masa’ you forgot anyway!?” said Jio.

“Our SMU Friends?” manya make sure.

Jio nodded then said, “Iya. He's Arin, Fir.”

“Arin?” ask again.

“Iya. Arins. Try inget-inget again. You used to be very close to him. My samples are jealous, you know,” said Jio.

“Apaan hell lo this, Yo. Why also jealous of female friends?” I tease and Jio is just a whimper.

After saying that, I looked back at the photo.

“It looks like I've seen this photo!? But where are ya!?” I murmured in my heart while trying to recall.

After a while later..

“O yes, now I remember. Looks like this picture I saw in Mr. Fathan's room at the time. Don't-don't,.”.

I suddenly remembered Gladis' words.

\=\= Flash back ON \=\=

“Fir, I warn you. You better not expect much from Fathan. He approached you in order to investigate the case of his sister's death related to your friend, Jio,” said Gladis.

“What do you mean?” my many.

“I mean it's pretty clear. You are just used by Fathan. So don't expect too much more,” said Gladis.

\=\= Flasbac Off \=\=

“Ah. I better make sure of it again,” I murmured inwardly.

Even though I have such thoughts, I still do not want Jio to be suspicious. I finally went on to help Jio clean up his room without saying much.

“Fir, this is you drink first,” said Jio while thrusting a glass of cold mineral water.

“Thank you, Yo.”

I, who was thirsty, finally drank it.

“Fir, why suddenly want to play here?” jio asked who was still curious.

“Oh. I'm just dying, Yo. I want to play but I don't know where to play,” obviously I give an excuse.

“Oh so. Why didn't you tell me from earlier that you're all for it, Fir?” ask Jio.

“Hahaha.. I thought you could be Nebak. I will not say more,” I said.

“Yeee... How can I guess. Lha lo her aja kaya’ people panic that,” protest Jio.

“Ha? Yes?” my many.

“Heleh,” sahut.

We were talking and joking as usual. Until the afternoon came and I decided to go home.

“Gue between yes Fir,” says Jio offers.

“No need, Yo. I'll go home by myself,” reject me.

“Hmm.. You see I want to stop by the mini market first,” my words that really have run out of excuses.

“Oh. Yes then. But be careful. Later if you've not forgotten my ngabarin,” said Jio and I nodded.

Without wasting any more time, I immediately rushed away from Jio's house and then headed towards Mr. Fathan's house.

After a while later..

“Eh. Non finally home,” said Bibi.

I smiled and asked, “Pak Fathan is there, Bi?”

“Lha instead of Tuan moving next to residence Non?” ask Aunt confused.

“Iya. But who knows if Mr. Fathan came back here today,”, I said while misbehaving.

My aunt smiled and didn't say that.

“Ya, Non. Enter aja. Room Non is still the same as before,” said Bibi and I nodded.

In the room...

I who had almost a week left the room was quite missed.

I wandered every corner of the room and a moment later, my gaze stopped on a picture frame.

I approached and I looked back at the face in the frame.

“This,..”

I was very surprised by what I saw.

It turned out, the photo I was currently looking at was the photo of the same person as the one I saw at Jio's house.

“It turns out to be the same,...” muttered me, “but, what does it have to do with Jio? If it is really my suspicion, then what is the reason for Jio to do it? We're not friends!? Ah, I better ask Auntie. Who knows Auntie knows.”

I put the frame back and immediately looked for Auntie.

“Bi, busy huh?” ask my aunt who's sweeping the yard.

“Oh, Non. Not really, Non. What's up?” ask Aunty.

“Bi, I can ask about his brother Mr Fathan no?” my many.

Aunty also spontaneously stopped her sweeping activity and fell silent.

I who felt something was wrong this also finally said, “Bi, it's okay if you can't.”

The aunt finally let out a long sigh and then said, “What would Non ask?”

“Hmm, look. Not long ago Mr. Fathan told me about the story of his brother who turned out to be dead. Then right now, I just want to definitely go to Auntie, is that really Bi? If it's true, has the culprit been caught?” my many.

Aunt was silent for a moment. Clearly visible the look of sadness on his face.

“Iya, Non. What you are telling me is true. It's just that, until now Mister still has not found the culprit,” explained Bibi.

“Oh. So that's all true huh, Bi?”

Aunty nodded and then said again, “That's why, since that incident, you never smiled. Even to this day, Mister is always trying to find the culprit.”

‘Deg’

“Oh. So yes Bi,” said me.

At the same time, Mr. Fathan came.

“Master home?” ask Aunt wonder.

“Iya, Bi. It was just a mastiin aja, but it turns out it is really here,” said while looking at me.

Aunty who seemed to know with the intention of Mr. Fathan was finally said, “Tuan and Non just chat. I go first into.”

Aunty finally left us both and just after Bibi was out of sight, Mr Fathan said, “So you have decided to stay here again?”

Spontaneously I immediately looked at Mr. Fathan's face.

Seriate...
