The Murder of the Beloved

Chapter 64

"That's great. I think it's quite a hint that the two of them do indeed have a close relationship."

"Do you want to talk to the people I mentioned?"

"Oh, no. It doesn't. They will certainly ask back, even though I myself have not been able to tell. You both can understand, but those people aren't necessarily."

"Mas's right. So that's enough?"

"Enough mbak. Thank you so much for your help."

"Have you got any traces?"

"It has. But I don't want him to know or feel he's being investigated. So please keep the photo good."

"Good mas. Me and Erni hope, I hope Frida can be found soon."

"Yes. That's all of us's hope."

"And.and he.congratulations."

"certain."

But from Desi's voice, Johan knew that Desi's hope was pessimistic. He then relayed the latest news to Dinda and Della. While Dinda said he would deliver again to Bagas.

Bagas called Dinda every day. And until the fourth day since their meeting, Bagas said he had not yet had the opportunity to tell his Tantenya the story he had heard. "Om Bram clings every time I approach Auntie. And unfortunately they stay more often in Menteng. According to Auntie, there was something in the house that made her happy. The atmosphere is unique, he said."

"Unique?" Dinda widened her eyes. He recalls his theory of Frida's possibility of being buried in the house. Maybe people feel comfortable living in such a house. Are there no ghosts there?

"Yes. Aunty likes her antiquity. It is indeed a contrast compared to the house we occupy, which is all new both the building and the architecture. Maybe there's a time he'll get bored and go back home."

"Ah, you're not waiting for her to get bored to tell you that, are you?" ask Dinda worried.

"Of course not, the time I wait can be even late."

"That's fine. Well, then when do you want to tell me?"

"Tomorrow. I'll take Aunt to lunch together. Only then can I be with him alone. I heard tomorrow om who has a busy life in Bogor so can not eat lunch with Aunt. Know it? Ever since they got married, Bram always picked up Auntie at her shop for lunch. In short, morning, noon, and night they always eat together. So where do I have time to have a one-on-one talk with Auntie? There's always Bram. If he's not around, I'm at work."

"Uh, they're so sticky huh? Do you think your aunt will believe that Om Bram should be wary of?"

"Hopefully he believed me."

"Yes. You trust me and papa. We cannot provide concrete evidence. But it's still a question of whether Aunt Maya would trust us either."

"Maybe he didn't believe it right away. But he will definitely appreciate my opinion."

"You are different from me. And your aunt is different from my mother. If only you had believed me. Or I have a chance to tell him." lamented Dinda.

"That's it. Don't regret what's gone by. You have a noble reason not to tell him immediately."

Dinda was delighted for those comforting words. Those comforting words. Such words have often been heard from his father, Aunt Della, and also Om Bus. But Bagas gave a special message.

"Yes. Pray that I can do well and bring good results."

"definitely. And don't forget to give me the news."

After putting down the phone plane, Dinda pensively. Want to not think, is it true reason Bagas that he did not have time alone with his Tantenya. For such a worrying matter, why did Bagas have to wait around? Finally he realized, Bram was indeed a terrible person for him. But not necessarily the same for Bagas. He's been through, but Bagas hasn't. Do you really believe him? Or just half believing? Of course Bagas can't be blamed if he can't trust him one hundred percent. Maybe Bagas needed more time to reflect on his story.

Until then Dinda has not given certainty to his father when he and Bu Imah will move. He buy time by giving an excuse, as long as Bagas has not told his Tantenya then as long as the threat of danger is feared it does not exist. He also had another reason that turned out to be undeniable by Johan, which is why Bram harmed him if the act could backfire for him if discovered? Has it not been proven how bad he controls himself, until he is kicked he does not retaliate? Especially now that they no longer have a relationship with each other. What is clearly facing danger now is Aunt Maya and perhaps Bagas too, because they are the prospective prey. The problem for Bram now is the two people's trust in him.

Johan still persuaded him. Similarly Bagas. In order not to disappoint them, he did not expressly express his objection. Now Bagas tells us that the time is tomorrow. Will he have to move tomorrow?

He looked at his house with a feeling of sadness. All this time he really enjoyed his own freedom. Perhaps because in solitude he was not at all lonely. Although alone he still has people who love and pay attention to him and can also be met in a short time, can even chat over the phone.

Suddenly the call of the bi Imah surprised him. "Non, there's a mother next door to meet non. Waiting in front."

"Oh, Aunt Leli bi?" Dinda put her mouth out.

"Yes. He said it was important, Non."

Dinda remembered her last conversation with Aunt Leli, the beginning of her meeting with Bagas. Who knows, it's important.

"How's Auntie doing?" he greeted me kindly when he met Aunt Leli.

"Good news, Dinda. Where is the promise?" Aunt Leli stared critically.

"What promise is Auntie?"

"She wants to play at home."

"Oh, no aunt yet. More business. That's right."

"I'm surprised, Dinda. You're not like other teenagers."

"What is Auntie? What the hell else?" Dinda began to get annoyed, thinking Aunt Leli was lying to him with important news, but just wanted to chat.

"See dong kids Aunt. They are friends a lot. Guys and girls. If you go home you can hang out with them. Don't be alone like this. I'll be able to get it."

"Yes, I am a Auntie. Shame, but let's face it. This is the guy like this."

"Someone said, you're a little fierce and judes. Uh, sory Dinda. Auntie told me gini so you wouldn't be a kuper. No offense."

"No Aunt. From the sonnya that has become like this. Let it be." Dinda was not offended. He smiles.
