NIGHT BUTTERFLY
#80
Mr. Bayan and Mr. Ahmad are getting closer to the car. Mr. Bayan's feeling started to feel bad when his nose smelled a fishy smell upon arrival near the car.
Mr. Bayan stopped his steps. He asked Ahmad to turn on his flashlight and point it at the front of the car. There was a splash of blood seen on the gravel scattered near the front wheel of the car. Mr. Bayan picked up one of the pebbles and sniffed it. Mr. Bayan sighed. Heart's pounding.
Mr. Bayan took the flashlight from Ahmad's hand. He then steered her into the car.
And how surprised Mr. Bayan was when the flashlight hit the eyes of a woman who was open and wide as looking at him. Mr. Bayan held his chest and sat down immediately. The flashlight he had in his hand suddenly slipped off and fell on the ground. Mr. Bayan looks in shock. Seeing that, Mr. Ahmad immediately rushed over to Mr. Bayan.
"What's wrong, sir," said Ahmad half-whispering anxiously. Mr. Bayan just silently shook his head. Several times Istighfar sounded from his mouth.
Mr. Ahmad took a flashlight lying beside Mr. Bayan. Seeing Mr. Bayan just speechless without answering, Mr. Ahmad got up and checked the front of the car.
"Astaghfiullah!" Shouted Mr. Ahmad was shocked when he saw a shoulder-haired woman lying covered in blood in the car. He almost fell backward as soon as his flashlight hit Zelayin's mama's eyes wide. Fresh blood was still coming out on the sidelines of his hair. Mr. Ahmad retreated a few steps until he was unconscious about to step on the body of Mr. Bayan. The leaves are as if drawn. The feather stands. He held the shoulder of Mr. Bayan firmly.
"Come, Mr. Bayan. We should report this quickly to mom. Do not let people see us and accuse us of being the culprit" Ahmad said in a trembling voice. Mr. Bayan immediately realized from his long silence. He nodded his head and stood up. He and Mr. Ahmad then immediately rushed to the gate of the house.
Sulastri and Rahima were just about to close their eyes after their long chat when the sound of Sulastri's phone rang. After a moment of looking at Rahima, he rushed to get his phone. He began to feel anxious. The clock shows at half-three. Afraid of bad news after several times and hit him.
There was the sound of roaring breath mixed with the sound of trees being blown by the wind from the opposite direction. Sulastri's heart is pounding. Rahima who was lying down looking at him got up and saw the change in Sulastri's face.
"Hello, Mr Bayan?" sulastri. His hands shook and his voice was soft.
"Sorry to interrupt, Mom. Please come out for a moment. There's something I have to report," said Mr. Bayan, sounding intermittent between gasping breaths. Sulastri immediately put away his blanket. Not having time to turn off his phone, he immediately got up and stepped towards the door of the room. Rahima followed him immediately.
"What's wrong, sir," Sulastri said when he saw Mr. Bayan and Mr. Ahmad standing in front of the terrace of the house.
"Mother come with me for a moment. There's something I have to see" said Mr. Bayan. Sulastri's feelings grew anxious. Especially seeing Mr. Bayan who seemed impatient to take him somewhere. Sulastri told Rahima to close the door and immediately follow Mr. Bayan and Ahmad who had preceded to step towards the gate. The sound of their footsteps could be heard chasing in the middle of the night. The lonely cold night, plus their long silence while continuing to walk towards the end of the road, added to the atmosphere was gripping.
"Mommy Zelayin? Isn't that Zelayin's mom's car?" sulastri asked looking at Rahima who was walking behind him. Rahima. His steps are accelerating. He wanted to get to the car in front of him.
"Yes, Mom. This is Mami's car." said Rahima.
"But why is Mom still here? Didn't he come home a few hours ago?" asked Rahima in wonder.
" Sorry, Mom. Maybe I got here." said Mr. Bayan turned his body around. He stopped Sulastri's steps when he wanted to go to the front of the car. Sulastri frowned. He's curious.
"Mom, there are people who have killed the woman" said Mr. Bayan. His voice vibrates. Sulastri and Rahima are shocked. Both bodies were shaking. Rahima who could not wait to see him immediately stepped up. He opened the car door. How surprised he was when he saw the body of Zelayin's mother lying in the car. Rahima was hysterical and screaming. Sulastri did not move from his place. He just looked at Rahima who started crying. He had not dared to come closer and take a closer look. He only signaled to Mr. Bayan to remove Rahima from the car.
Sulastri checked his phone and started calling Mr. Sahril.
Sulastri. Mr. Sahril didn't even pick up his call. Sulastri looks panicked. He tried to contact Mr. Pratama, but still no answer.
"Come, Mr. Bayan. Maybe there's someone Mr. Bayan can call," Sulastri said, approaching Mr. Bayan.
Mr. Bayan immediately grabbed the phone in his pants pocket. He just remembered having an acquaintance of a policeman when training to be a security first.
After waiting for a while. Sound from across.
"Sorry, commander. I'd like to report a murder near where I work,"
"Who is this?"
"I, Sir. Bayan Ishmael. The one you used to train when training in security at Pandan Wangi."
"Say where you are,"
"Ok,wait. It's sliding right away."
Mr. Bayan gave a short sigh. Rahima was still crying as she called out the name of Zelayin's mother. Mr. Ahmad, who was standing behind Sulastri, stepped in to close the car door. Sulastri himself tried to calm Rahima down.
The sound of the phone ringing shocked Sulastri. He noticed the name of the caller that appeared on his phone screen.
"Hello, Mr. Sahril. Please come home for a moment. There has been a murder outside the house" Sulastri said when he heard Mr. Sahril's voice from across the street.
"Good, Sir. I wait," said Sulastri. He closed his call and sighed in relief.

The sound of police car sirens was heard from a distance. Sulastri grabs Rahima's body and pulls her further away from the car. Two police cars arrived at the scene. His spinning siren light rays scattered a little dark where Sulastri and his friends stood. From behind, follow an ambulance and stop behind a police car. Two men were seen exiting and pulling out a stretcher from the back of the car.
From the opposite direction, also seen the Camry toyota car carrying Mr. Sahril and Pak Pratama stopped on the other side of the entrance to Sulastri's house. He was seen rushing down and approaching towards Sulastri. Police officers are seen starting to remove the body of Zelayin's mother from the car.
"Who was killed, ma'am," whispered Mr. Sahril.
"Mommy Zelayin. The one who brought Rahima here." Sulastri replied. His voice still sounded vibrating. Mr. Sahril scrunched his forehead.
"Thanks that we made the leaflet, sir," Sulastri continued ahead of Mr. Sahril. Mr. Sahril nodded his head.
"As the story goes, Mom. How could he be killed here" asked Mr. Sahril.
"I don't know either, sir. After taking Rahima, he went straight home. I was also shocked when Mr. Bayan told me," Sulastri said.
"The money has been given, ma'am," whispered Mr. Sahril. Sulastri nodded his head. Mr. Sahril turned his head towards the officer who was still inspecting the inside of the car. Two hospital staff members were seen carrying Mami Zelayin's body towards an ambulance.
Mr. Sahril is approaching.
"Sir, did you find any money in the car?" mr. Sahril asked one of the inspecting officers.
"Money?" ask the cop. Mr. Sahril nodded.
"The money is wrapped in black crackles, sir," Sulastri said. The officer shook his head.
"There's nothing, sir."
Sulastri. He looked towards Rahima.
"Maybe someone's tailing mami Zelayin. The one who knows his purpose tonight" whispered Sulastri.
"Could it be the Jamblang?" said Rahima. "He's got a problem with Zelayin's mom. But related to my search leaflet, Jamblang may not know yet," continued Rahima.
Sulastri. He seems to think hard.
Since your search announcement, only two people have called so often. The first was Zelayin's mother, and the second was a man. I don't really know his voice through phone, but could it be Jamblang?" sulastri began to guess.
"Mom and dad both. We need information from fathers and mothers on this issue. Maybe tomorrow we'll make a call for questioning" one of the officers approached them. Sulastri.
After an hour of questioning, police officers finally left the scene. The sound of ambulance sirens began to sound boisterous along with the sound of a fast car.
