The River House

27. Denis Alleged

Ellie touched Tia's forehead, feeling hot. The housewife looked shivering, her teeth clashing uncontrollably. Also sweat seems to flow on his temples.

"Tii, you should get immediate medical attention. It's possible that the stray dog that attacked you yesterday had rabies" Ellie clasped Tia's hand. 

"Tomorrow Ell. I can hold it. Anyway, I'm waiting for the money to come. It's free for me to get far here if I don't bring results," Tia leaned her head against the wall of the room.

"What good is money, if you are in pain? Money can be sought, health and life can not replace," Ellie felt really worried about the condition of Tia.

"For you to make money it might be easy Ell. But not with me," Tia lamented. His eyes shook with tears. There is sadness and shame. He felt he was the only one to fail among the drama's exkul personnel. Were they not equal? But why does Tia feel so bad? Feeling so far behind compared to the others.

"Calc, please. Out there Yodi and Mella are missing. Dipta was killed by someone who was in this house. I don't want to see you until why. We need to get out of this house and get help."

"Even death feels better than I have to go back to my life without money from Zainul" Tia replied firmly.

"That's it. I'm gonna walk you out of this house, and I'm gonna give you some money worth Zainul's giving," Ellie tried to persuade Tia. For Ellie, the life and safety of her friend is more important.

"So you're offering hundreds of millions to other people, Ell?" Tia was getting humiliated.

"Tia please. I'm not here to go after money. I came to this house because I was promised Zainul's latest limited edition book," Ellie began to feel a little upset with Tia who was a stone head.

"Maybe you are in financial trouble, but that does not mean you have to sacrifice your safety. Each has his own test. Some are tested with flaws some are tested with advantages," Ellie sighed.

"How could an advantage you consider to be an Ell test? When a lot of people want to be able to live a life like you, do you consider it a test? Bullshit!" Tia argued, although at this moment her head felt increasingly heavy.

"Everything has its responsibilities Tia. It could be in this world or in that world. Shouldn't we be grateful for what we have now and strive for better?" Ellie raised her tone. He ran out of words to persuade Tia.

"If only time could be repeated" said Tia lirih. The next moment he collapsed on the bed.

Ellie panic. He embraced the helpless looking Tia. Tia's body temperature feels really hot. Tia also had convulsive seizures, with saliva dripping from her mouth excessively.

Ellie immediately exited the room and ran down the stairs. He almost slipped in a hurry. Ellie headed to the dining room. A little relieved, it turns out Denis and Norita are still busy chatting in front of the dining table.

"Please! Help Tia!" Ellie cried out between her breaths.

"What's wrong?" Denis was shocked. He was having a good time with Norita when Ellie came.

"Ma. . .Tia fever and seizures. Apparently, yesterday her leg was bitten by a stray dog that attacked her," Ellie said.

"Huh? How's dong? I don't understand such handling" Denis panicked. While Norita looks to fix the hot pants that she wears.

"Well, find an alcohol cake, or something. A small towel as well, to clean the wound on her leg," Ellie looked as if she was about to cry out in confusion.

"Where is there? I didn't take it that way" Denis replied.

"In Mella's room there must be. Let's just break down Mella's bedroom door," Norita gave me an idea.

"OK then," Denis agreed.

The three of them ran to the top floor. They wanted to see Tia's situation first. Tia was seen convulsing, and had also just spewed water from her mouth. His stomach was empty, not filled since this morning.

Now Denis, Norita and Ellie are in front of Mella's room. They compactly slam their bodies on the door leaf of the room. And after several experiments, the door finally succeeded in breaking.

Ellie went straight in and broke into the fabric of Mella's bag lying under the bed in a hurry. He found a P3K box inside.

Ellie was about to run to Tia's room, when Denis prevented her. Denis gripped Ellie's arm, holding her back from rushing out of the room.

"What the fuck are you?" Ellie glared at Denis.

"Just a minute!" Denis snapped no less fierce.

"He's in danger, what else? We need to be quick to help her, "Ellie's trying to get Denis' hand out of her.

"All! Look at that first!" Denis snapped back while pointing at the corner of Mella's room.

Ellie and Norita looked at what Denis had pointed to. In the corner of the room, under the wooden cabinet, lay a seger brand slum backpack.

"What the hell?" Ellie asked not to understand.

"Yodi's backpack" Norita murmured.

Unasked, Norita walked up to the backpack and opened it. It contained a stel of clothes, hat, skullcaps, and an HP with wallpaper with a picture of Yodi holding a long-haired little boy.

"This is indeed a Yodi bag" Norita said.

"Huh? How come?" Ellie asked as if in disbelief.

"Maybe Mella is the mastermind behind Yodi's disappearance? Also the death of the Creator, it could be all his work," Denis muttered to himself.

"No way. What'd he do it for?" Ellie refutes Denis's presumption.

"Let's think mature. Mella is a health worker, could she be with a tool to put poison or something like that into the body of Dipta? Especially when Dipta was killed, there was no one among us who was with Mella. So, he doesn't have an alibi" Denis explained.

"I suspect him anyway. All the people invited to this house are people who have had problems with Zainul in the past. But you realize no, if in fact there are two people who have never had problems with Zainul also come here. One of those people is Mella. While the other one is Bayu," Denis looks serious with his words.

"Could it be that Mella conspired with Zainul to take revenge on us?" Brisking Denis later.

"Don't make up. Mella told me once that she owes Zainul an apology. He's the same as all of us, the people who did evil to Zainul in the past" Ellie continues to argue.

"Omong empty Ellie. I know all the bullying that Zainul received first. Mella never fucked Zainul, never!" Denis looked at Ellie sharply.

"Keep that baseless suspicion of yours! There's more important than us arguing over the coachman here. We have to take care of Tia!" Ellie flicked her hand until Denis' grip slipped.

Ellie runs to Tia's room. To be honest, he was annoyed by Denis' words. In the corner of his heart there is a sense of trust in the allegations expressed by Denis. But her little heart said Mella couldn't be that bad. Ellie knows exactly who Mella is, they've been my best friends since Middle School.
