The Murder of the Beloved

The Murder of the Beloved
Chapter 12



Lilis poked her lips. He was trembling with anger and fear. Now he's involved. That person would have told Bram of his intention to help that. Is Bram going to be angry about it? Ah, it is impossible for him to be angry if his intentions are sincere and good.


At that time he needed someone to share his opinions as well as feelings. But he couldn't do it with Dinda. He knew what Dinda's reaction was. After all, Dinda is not yet an adult to be invited to discuss such a heavy problem. Moreover, Dinda now has a relationship with Johan. He hated it when he imagined that his treatment was the proper retaliation for his actions, so that there was no more debt between the two of them.


Then he remembered Della.


Della receives Lilis' visit in wonder. He predicted Lilis must need something or be in trouble. From the time before that. They rarely relate except to things that are important right. Don't mind Dinda's problem. It's become alarmed. Since Lilis' marriage. Dinda hasn't contacted him yet to deliver all of his chatter. Though according to his estimation must be Dinda's grandfather, a lot after living in a roof with Bram. And he himself wanted to know what was going on. It turns out that the one who came now was not Dinda.


Lilis wasted no time in telling her the problem.


"So you want to help him with your money, brother?"


"Yes. I have a hundred million deposit. It's been intact since the beginning of Del. All this time I've only eaten flowers. So what's wrong with me using some of this right now to help my husband?"


Della stunned. She and Lilis each earned the same amount of money as well as a house that was worth more or less the same as the inheritance from their parents. Until then, after years of passing their money in deposit is still intact unused unless interest is taken. Suddenly now Lilis was willing to take some. Of course it's Lilis's right. To be used partially or completely, is his lawful possession. But Della was sorry. When Johan was still married, Lilis's property remained intact untouched. Now only a few months married, Bram already has financial problems. But he did not want to speak his mind. Later accused of inciting.


"Is Dinda concerned about this intention of yours, Brother?"


"He doesn't need to know. Why are you asking? He'll be cynical if he finds out."


"He's quite an adult, brother. But he is your son. Your descendants. If you don't exist, he'll inherit your property. Not Bram."


As soon as she said that, Della realized her mistake. He saw Lilis glaring. "Whatdidyou say? When I'm not around? I never thought about death. Who wants to die? The money is entirely mine. Whether I wear it or not is my right. No one's gonna need me to keep it for Dinda. If the money runs out there is no problem. It's Dinda's fate if I can't leave a legacy for her. The important thing is, now I have money and I can use it. Husband in trouble not helped? Try if your own husband is like this, will you just shut up?" Lilis nyerocos with fierce.


"Sorry Brother. That's not what I meant. Don't misunderstand me. Of course you have to help the husband."


"I have come to you for moral support. At least an agreement on my actions. That I did something right. But instead of saying so," grumbled Lilis.


"I told you, I was wrong. Yes, you're right, brother. At least Bram needs fifty million, not all the money you have."


Back Della felt wronged after Lilis back glared. "If he needed everything I would give him!" exciting Lilis.


"Yes, yeah. Of course, Brother. Sorry."


Lilis was struck with a sad face. With pity Della embraced his shoulder. "Already, Brother. Just help him. If not you, who else can help him? If anything happens to her you can be haunted by the guilt of not helping her."


"Now there are many bad people, Del." lilis lamented.


"Yes. It's true." Della confirmed with horror when it occurred to him that if anything happened to Bram when he advised not to help him, then he would feel guilty.


"So you're in favor that I should help her?" lilis asked with a sharp look, just in case Della wasn't serious.


"Yes" said Della could not be any other.


"Yes. Sure oes. Rather than idle mending wear." Della wants to appease Lilis. Could it be that Lilis is actually less willing to give the money to Bram? If Lilis has been steadfast with his decision he certainly does not need to ask for the opinion of others.


"I ask you not to tell Dinda that. I can't stand him talking shit."


"Oh yeah, how's Dinda doing? Is she okay?"


"He's kind. Now he goes to Johan's house twice a week. He said he wanted English lessons with Johan's girlfriend, the indo."


"Well, right now Dinda hasn't liked playing here in a long time."


"That's how the boy is."


"Sister, I know very well Dinda. He was busy, not forgotten. Give my regards to him, brother."


"Promise you won't tell me?"


"Yes. I promise, Brother. Don'worry. I don't want him to worry either."


Lilis laughed cynically. "Whatdidyou say? Is he worried? Maybe he was even grateful that Bram had a disaster. When she saw Bram's face swollen, she smiled instead. It's just rude."


Suddenly Della wanted to smile because of the amused feeling that suddenly appeared to imagine the appearance of Dinda at that time. He tried so hard not to offend Lilis.


"Oh yeah, there's one more thing I need to tell Del. You know, Bram didn't ask me for help at all. He did not know that I was going to help him. I don't know if he's willing to accept my hand or not. Even worried in case he was even offended."


"Ah, when people want to be helped even offended Brother."


"Hey, don't be cynical Del. That he was possessed by people is also a clue to his pride. He wants to solve his own problems. If you want to find congratulations, of course he tried to ask for help before getting thumped. Even after being crushed, he kept his mouth shut. Well, great, right, her?" Lilis.


"Yes. But if it's desperate, he'll ask for it too."


"You're still Del's cynical."


"No. I'm not cynical, brother. Just saying my mind."


"Yes, I've."


Della wants to cheer up Lilis. "He'd be happy if you offered to help. It is precisely in her eyes that your image as a wife will increase. In distress and pleasure husband and wife certainly as a cover."
