inside the two-story boarding house, all residents are busy with their respective tasks.
Rahim is cooking in the kitchen for himself and his sisters.he is assisted by Mahendra. Alan, Danil and Damar who had just come as new residents, were cleaning room 10 which would later become his resting place.
Willi, Randi and Kevin were packing Damar's belongings in room number 3. still smelled the fragrance of their best friend's perfume. there is a longing that cannot be achieved by them.The most stifling longing is the longing for someone who has passed away
the plan is that all the goods will be sent in the city of S, the parents of the deceased Damar. they put clothes in a suitcase and some books and other items are packed in dos.
for Olan and Iyan, they are out shopping. It has long been their monthly shopping.all the hostess residents collect 100 rb per person to buy all their needs for a month.from the start of soap, to the, rice and other foods and fill in the refrigerator.
"which one's real Damar bang...?" ask Alan
"gue is from town B" Damar replied, replacing the lights in the room.
"How much to look for knowledge here, in the city of B there are many famous universities" said Danil who was holding a chair raised by Damar
"pengen wander in a city of people" Damar replied down
"thanks yes Dan" said Damar
"same-sama bang"
"it's clean, you have to be at home well stay here. Alan so remembered Abang Damar who had left when he remembered the name of Brother" Alan back moody
"Al, you can think of me as a replacement for the late Damar, although I won't be able to be like him but I will equip you with my arrival" Damar stroked Alan's back
"thank you bang" Alan began to tear up
"bang, can you hug...?" Danil was already covered in tears when he remembered his brother's friend
"of course" Damar spread his hand
Alan and Danil immediately embraced Damar.They both back sobbed when they remembered the kindness and memories they went through with the late Damar.
after feeling calm, the two released a hug and wiped away the tears.
in the kitchen, Rahim and Mahendra are busy cooking. Rahim makes sambal while Mahendra fries tempeh.
"bang, it's okay if I'm in a room with Danil...?" mahendra asked.this thing he just asked because since yesterday-yesterday he continued forgetfulness
"nothing. indeed here the portion of one room two people, except more than two people already can not" replied Rahim
"thankfully, I don't think I can. otherwise Danil's plan will stay in Damar's room only because room 10 already has residents"
"yes, and its inhabitants are also named Damar"
"her name reminds me of the late Damar"
"he's happy there"
when busy cooking, the main room door is knocked. Rahim and Mahendra look at each other. If for example Olan and Iyan there is no way they will knock on the door, at most they immediately enter.
"who is" Rahim said
"let me see the bang" Mahendra turned off the stove fire
but when he stepped up to see who was visiting at night, Randi was already ahead of him so Mahendra came back again.
"who's Hen...?" ask Rahim
"don't know, Randi is opening the door" Mahendra replied
Randi opened the door and in front of him stood two grown men who looked at him with a smile. Randi knows one of them but the other man he does not know and just saw him for the first time.
"sir Mahesa, come in sir" Randi invited the two to enter
Randi invited her to sit down and then she went to the kitchen to call Rahim and Mahendra.
"bang Rahim, there is Mr. Mahesa in front" said Randi
"sir Mahesa that cop...?" ask Rahim
"iya bang, with his friend but I don't know who he is. not Cakra sir and Angga sir" Rahim replied
"why is this night coming" Rahim who has finished his work towards the main room. Mahendra and Randi follow him
"good night Rahim" Mahesa greeted me kindly
"night sir. I'm sorry, what happened...?" ask Rahim
"may you gather all the hostesses, I want to investigate the case of Damar's death" Mahesa replied
"Ran, call the others above" Rahim ordered
"good bang"
Randi passed to go upstairs, calling Alan, Danil and Damar. After that they went downstairs, there was already Willi and Kevin. only Olan and Iyan are left who have not yet returned from shopping.
"Olan and Iyan where...?" ask Rahim
"still outside sir" Mahendra replied
"assalamualaikum" came the sound of greetings from outside
"it was them, long life" said Kevin
"loh..kok rame, what the hell is this...?" asked Olan with some plastic bags
"save in the kitchen all your groceries then come join here" said Rahim
"good bang" answered both
after putting the shopping bag down, the two of them returned to the main room joining the others.
"excuse me if we both disturb you, I just want to know what happened when Damar's body was found on Thursday night" Mahesa said
before continuing, Mahesa looked at Damar and their eyes met. Damar smiled as Mahesa nodded.
"who is...?" Mahesa pointed to Damar
"he's Damar sir, the new occupant of this boarding house" Rahim replied.
"the same name as the deceased" Mahesa said
"yes sir, with him we feel no loss even though he is not the Damar he used to be" Olan chimed in
"may be at home here Damar, and adaptable" said Zulfikar
"of course sir" Damar replied
"we'll start.who first found Damar's body...?" ask Mahesa
"me sir" Kevin put on a show
"can you explain the chronology like what...?" ask Mahesa
"that night at 23:00, we were still gathered in this room"
"who was at the boarding house that night...?"
"gue, bang Rahim, bang Iyan, Danil, and Alan.if Mahendra, bang Olan and Willi they are outside"
"actually Iyan bang was also from the outside at that time but he came early before the discovery of Damar's corpse"
"that night I was going out to put a motorbike that had not been parked in the garage. at that time I saw someone lying in front of the boarding house, not far from where I was standing. the position of Damar's body at that time was close to the fence"
"keep...?"
"gue was curious who was lying on the ground like that night.as I approached it turns out that.that Damar, he..already lifeless" Kevin felt sad when he recalled it.
"gue panicked, panicked, I ran inside to tell the others there was a dead body in front"
"and at that time I immediately contacted Mahendra, Olan and Willi to immediately go home" Rahim who spoke
"what was it before Damar died that someone had communicated with him...? ask Zulfikar
"this is the police, too...?" Willy asked
"so who communicated with Damar before he died...?" Zulfikar asked back
"me sir"
"me sir"
two people raised their hands, namely Mahendra and Wili.
"beginning with you" Zulfikar pointed to Mahendra
"i communicated with Damar since noon on Wednesday when Damar wanted to say something to me but had to directly because the thing he wanted to say was very important in his opinion"
"i insisted on saying it over the phone but she didn't want to. she had to say it in person and she said we all had to know but she wanted to tell me first"
"because I have activities at night on the way of paradise, I asked to meet there at 19:00 and he agreed"
"at that time I asked where he was and he replied that he was in a cafe in front of the campus, waiting for the night to meet me"
"he's waiting for you in front of the campus till night..?" Mahesa asked
"yes, I asked him to go home but he was reluctant to go home and preferred to wait in the cafe until night" Mahendra replied
"okay continue"
"in the afternoon we were still communicating. replied to each other's messages and said I would immediately leave for the way of paradise"
"and he also said that he would catch up with me soon, but until late at night he never came until I heard the news that he had died"
"what before contacting you to meet, did you not have time to meet at this boarding house...?" ask Zulfikar
"we met sir, I just got home from college and he was just about to go to college" Mahendra replied
"you don't see any suspicious attitude from her...?"
"he was at that moment visibly"
"he looked very uncomfortable and his eyes kept showing anxiety.Yes, I could see that clearly"
"who was at the boarding house at the time...?"
"it's just me, Damar and him" Mahendra pointed to one of the other residents
"you saw the strange behavior of Damar...?" ask Zulfikar to someone appointed by Mahendra
"no sir, I feel like he's the same as before" he replied
"you said Damar had just come from upstairs and almost fell down the stairs.What room is Damar upstairs in...?" Mahesa asked Mahendra
"no sir, Damar's room is downstairs. kama number 3"
"was that time you were upstairs...?" Mahesa asked the person whom Mahendra had appointed
"yes sir, I was relaxing on the balcony and at that time I did not see Damar from the top floor.I met him on the lower floor along with Mahendra" he replied
Zulfikar and Mahesa looked at each other and then Zulfikar recorded the information they had obtained.
"now Wili's brother. You said you had time to communicate with Damar. during the day or night...?" ask Mahesa
"night sir, if it's not wrong after magrib. I asked the flash he once borrowed"
"that's all your conversation...?"
"i also asked her whereabouts and she said she was in front of the campus but did not say to meet Mahendra" Wili replied
"if based on your story, I conclude that it looks like Damar was killed elsewhere and his body was dropped into this boarding house" Zulfikar said
"weird kok yeah, if Damar was killed elsewhere continue why the body is here" said Randi
"that's still an estimate, we'll find out" Zulfikar replied
"why do I say so because based on the statement of brother Mahendra, that he is still replying to Damar that he is also rushing to the road of paradise. I think, he was finished on the trip"
"if Damar were to be finished at this boarding house, you would hear cries for help"
"is Damar the victim begal...?" said Iyan
"we have not confirmed that, because there are no fingerprints left on Damar's corpse, originally clean without a trace" Mahesa replied
"if Damar victims begal, where do they know that the Damar address is in this boarding house" said Mahendra
"it's him, there's no way they know" said Wili
"why is it like the murder that happened with the female victims, clean without a trace" Olan said
"we'll keep looking. oh yeah, this boarding fence is what time you guys lock...?" ask Mahesa
"if it's 10 pm anyway, the fence we have locked sir.at most friends from outside open it with a key that they hold themselves" Rahim replied
"that means...?" Zulfikar raised his eyebrows
"the lock of the fence and the key of our main room each have it sir. So if one of us late at night just come home, then, we do not bother other residents to open the fence and door because we already have their own keys" Rahim replied
"hummm that's how it is" Zulfikar, the corner of his lips lifted and he looked at Mahesa
"i think it's enough for today, thank you for the time you've given me" Mahesa and Zulfikar began to move on
"it's going home sir. eat first how sir, we just happened to have finished cooking when you came" Rahim offered
"ah thank you very much for the invitation but we have to go home.we will go to the hospital to visit Angga" Mahesa replied
"pak Angga has not realized, sir from the coma...?" ask Alan
"yet, I hope he wakes up soon"
all guaranteed Mahesa's hope but on the other hand there was one person who prayed the opposite of that hope.
"may quickly die following Damar" his inner
Zulfikar noticed every look on the faces of the residents of kost 010. every movement and gaze of their eyes since then he continued to pay attention until he met his eyes directly with the perpetrator.
the perpetrator smiled at Zulfikar and Zulfikar returned the smile, after which the two policemen said goodbye to go home, leaving boarding 010.
"bang, Alan's hungry" Alan rubbed his stomach
"yes let's eat" Rahim asked
"ayo Dam, don't be shy just think it's not your own boarding house" said Randi
"it's not my boarding time" Damar replied
"hehehehehe, who knows you want to tell me" said Randi
"bang Damar is not like bang Randi kali, I like ngaku-ngaku especially if the same beautiful girl.must immediately say she's Brother's girlfriend" Alan said
"do not unload the disgrace of napa Al" grumbled Randi
"we already know kelles" said Mahendra
"ck..ck... ck, if there is a Ran, a girl who likes the same kind of poskilan guy like you" Iyan saw Randi from toe to head
"Don't underestimate me, wah wah. really too" annoyed Randi.
"not to underestimate, just curious is there a girl who wants sala you" said Iyan
"there is a bang that likes the same bang Randi, transvestite but. hahahaha" Alan's laughter immediately broke but a second later Alan coughed as Randi put tempe into Alan's mouth
"eat tempeh" annoyed Randi
"hummm..maknyuuuus" Alan instead returned ridiculing and Randi just pouted.
after dinner they gather in the main room.this time they play cards.who loses then his face will be smeared with charcoal pan. they do not have makeup equipment so use charcoal.
throughout the game they kept laughing and their faces were all filled with black.
Kevin immortalized the moment by filming them all and they also took some pictures that will serve as a memento.
