The River House

XLIVI. Erwin's Madness

In an increasingly gloomy afternoon atmosphere, Vita continued to step her feet. Sometimes he looks back. Making sure Erwin is no longer after him. A little relieved because there was no sign of the long-haired man.

Vita was astonished. The allegations, and the prejudice against Ferry missed. Erwin has confessed to attacking Inge. Although it was difficult to understand, why Erwin acted so. Aren't they just in a relationship and being friendly? Or don't let Erwin's lost collection be the source of the problem.

The more thought the more complicated like a tangled thread. At first, Vita suspected that the criminals who harmed her friends were the same person. Now for Vita, after Erwin claimed to have harmed Inge, the case of the hunter*h*n his best friend back to the starting point again.

There's no way Erwin poisoned Erfan. Wh-wh-what for? Just yesterday. Even if there was a motive to poison Erfan, the only reason Erwin did so was to avenge Inge's heartache. But now it was Inge who was stabbed*m by him. A fact that contradicts each other.

The darkness of the forest is becoming more and more. The sun has just set. If only now Vita was sitting in his house, surely the sparkling world threw out darkness. There is no nighttime term for life in the city.

In the darkness, Vita began to feel that she was less grateful for the life she lived. When everything is available and available. Education to any level, material support from his parents is more than enough. Maybe he lost beautiful to Anggun, but his life is much luckier than his best friend.

As Vita was busy in his daydream, suddenly there was a noise from behind the bush on the river bank. Vita jumped in shock, and immediately accelerated her pace. Unfortunately, it's too late. Erwin jumped from behind the shrub and directly hit the Vita. They both fell on the ground.

"Vit, don't run from me!" snapped Erwin. Samar faintly looks he glares horribly.

"You are not sane Win" said Vita. He grimaced with pain. Shoulder pain, maybe sprained.

"I just want to explain. I didn't mean to harm Inge. When he brought up the contents of the book, my mind was instantly blank. I. . I feel I have to protect my family's integrity!" Erwin woke up, patting his plump body full of dirt.

"I don't know what you mean, Win! What's with the book? What does this have to do with your family?" Vita stood up, holding her right shoulder which felt more throbbing.

"You don't ask Vit too much! The less you know, the safer your life is!" Erwin growled eerily.

"It's about Win's life! You don't go crazy! Go back home now and turn yourself over to the police!" Vita took a few steps back. Although he had studied martial arts, but in posture and power clearly lost to Erwin. Moreover, from what is seen now Erwin has lost his mind.

"Would it be by surrendering myself to the police that life and tranquility would come back?" Erwin scratched his neck violently. His nails looked blackened full of river mud.

"No running water without the ripples of Win. There is no life without aral and sadness" Vita keeps replying while keeping her distance.

"What if life is too much sadness? I'm the one left by my parents, I'm the one who doesn't know the affection of a father and mother. This world is not fair Vita! The water in my life was not just rippling, but surging and swaying my fate!" Erwin is sobbing.

Vita was stunned to hear Erwin rummage. It is true that we can never understand the lives of others. Everyone tries to look happy on the outside, but different from the inside.

"Win, I don't understand your life. But didn't the Anggun family take care of you with affection? Everything's material, enough right?" Vita sighed. He was careful with every sentence that came out of his lips.

"Yes yes, you are right. Bu Rofida gives a mother love. Mas Ferry coldly gave material like a father," Erwin nodded his head in a nod.

"Then from that, I must return the favor! I will protect my family with everything I have!" Erwin hissed, his breath hunting.

"All right, I understand. So now let me help you. Tell me everything that's happened. Tell me everything. Okay?" Vita tried to negotiate. The mad Erwin had to be calmed down, so he thought.

"Inge Vit Ingeee" Erwin cried again. Vita is waiting.

"Inge knows who poisoned Erfan" Erwin said between sobs.

"Who poisoned Erfan?" Vita can't wait to get an answer from Erwin.

"There is a 3rd book series by Zainul Rich Man" Erwin replied.

"I haven't read it Win. Just tell me who poisoned Erfan. And I promise I'll help you get out of this. Believe me, two heads will be more useful to solve the problem" Vita persuaded.

Erwin fell silent. For a while he only looked at Vita in the dark. His white eyeballs look shiny without lighting.

Suddenly Erwin moves ambush, embracing and locking Vita. The sweet woman did not struggle, because she failed to predict Erwin's movements.

Bruugg

They both rolled on the ground. Erwin is still locking Vita as hard as he can. Vita was just grimacing, feeling her body being squeezed like it was wrapped around by a huge snake.

"What the hell are you Win? Heeii, release!" Vita screamed in fear.

"Why do you want to know who poisoned Erfan, huh? You must be trying to trick me! You're gonna have to report to the police! Aye right?" Erwin glared with rage. Vita shook her head quickly.

"Don't let anyone destroy my family!" Erwin moved his arm from his chest to Vita's neck. While both of his legs were still clamping Vita's waist as hard as he could. They rolled back on the ground.

"Don't add to your sins and evils! You've already killed Inge. Are you going to kill me now?" Vita began to feel short of breath.

"I did it to Inge by accident! I like it, I didn't mean it!" Erwin raved and snapped.

"How could you say accidentally when two stabs*n and an incision in the neck, making Inge die? You're crazy Win!" yelled Vita loudly.

"Huh? Whatdidyou say? I . .I, never attacked Inge's neck!" Erwin loosened the lockdown.

"Don't lie brengs*k! Inge died from an incision in the neck!" yell Vita. Feeling Erwin off guard, Vita slammed his elbow into Erwin's heart.

"Uuphhhh!" Erwin almost vomited feeling the rigors of Vita's elbow.

Instead of removing the lockdown, Erwin even dark eyes get resistance from Vita. He again draped his arm around Vita's neck, pressing down on her with all his might.

Vita did not stay silent. He blindly attacked, hit, scratched Erwin's body and face. A few minutes of struggle occurred. In the end, Vita was helpless. His face was turning blue, his breath was no longer heard. His movement stopped completely. When night falls, with the silence of the forest, another human life is wasted.
