The River House

XIV. Erfan's Death

Eating from the host, which should be a means of strengthening friendships in fact turned into gripping and frightening. Erfan collapsed at the dining table with his mouth gaping. His body was lifeless.

Graceful who was basically weak, powerless to resist seeing the horror before her. Almost the thin body was also collapsed to the floor if Ferry did not immediately hold it.

Bu Rofida and Vivi hugged each other. Andewi and Vita were silent, not knowing what to do. Inge spewed out the food that was in his mouth. And Erwin stared intently at Erfan, he seemed to be thinking.

Only Ali Sabet was deft, approached Erfan and examined his college friend. Ali checked the pulse, and looked closely at the mouth of Erfan who was not breathing.

"Erfan is dead. Most likely due to poison. From his mouth faintly smelled the scent of almonds that were 'grandfather'. It looks like some kind of cyanide" said Ali Sabet walking backwards, away from Erfan's corpse.

"Don't joke you Ali!" Jerk Vita with a reddened face.

"I'm serious Vit. Erfan is dead," Ali massaged his own forehead.

"We have to spit out this food. Let us not have the same fate as Erfan" cried Inge as he put his index finger into his mouth.

"Stop Inge! Don't panic! I don't think this food is poisonous. We all eat at the same time, if only this food is poisonous then we have the same fate as Erfan," Erwin calmed. Inge complied and sat back down.

"If Erfan dies of poisoning. There are three possibilities. First, he committed suicide by putting poison in his food. Second, there are foods from Mak Surti that contain poison. And third, Erwin put poison when serving chicken lodho to Erfan's plate," said Ferry arrived.

"Why am I Mas?" Erwin stood up to protest.

"Didn't what I said make sense?" Ferry raised his tone.

"Yes, it's possible" Ali Sabet said.

"But there's no way Erwin poisoned Erfan? Wh-wh-what for? Also known today," Inge stood up again to defend Erwin.

"All the possibilities you speak are completely contrary to Ferry's logic!" Vita open voice. The short haired woman looked furious.

"I'm just telling you what's on my mind" Ferry said.

"Which part of my speech contradicts logic?" Ferry asked, still embracing the limp Anggun.

"You think the first possibility is Erfan killing himself. That's not possible. Because I know, just yesterday he came to my property agent to buy one of the houses. If Erfan wants to kill himself, why would he buy a house? She should have just bought a plot of land for her funeral," Vita sighed.

"A second possibility, Erfan was poisoned by your maid. The question is how to put poison in Erfan's food, while your maid Mak Surti is not here when we all eat? Then what's the motive? What's in it?" Vita was silent for a moment.

"Then it was probably Erwin's third who poisoned Erfan. It's also a little hard, I guess, because we all watched Erwin cut chicken with a knife, share it with a big centong, he didn't touch the chicken meat directly, at all," Vita gave an explanation. Everyone was silent listening. Everyone is busy digesting Vita's words that have a point.

"Then, how now?" Ferry asked everyone in the dining room.

"We have to report to Mas police," Erwin replied giving an idea.

"I think so too" said Vita.

"Let me just. Let me contact Bayu, the police who at that time brought the will of Zainul," said Anggun lirih. He sat holding his head which felt intense throbbing. Ferry agreed.

Gracefully immediately grabbed the HP in his shirt pocket. Then call a number stored in his contact. Everyone was silent and waiting.

"Police is coming soon. Everyone was told not to leave this house. No one should touch Erfan's body, nor should random shuffling of the CTF. The point is that we are all ordered to stay in place" Anggun replied softly.

"Erwin, call Mak Surti! Get everyone gathered here!" Ferry's orders snapped slightly.

Erwin nodded and immediately called Mak Surti's number. Everyone looked tense, fearful and full of suspicion towards each other.

"Let's leave Mak Surti in the kitchen. It's a pity that Miko has to see Erfan's body. Toddlers are not yet time to see things like this," Gracefully propped her head up with both hands. He is still very shocked and hit with the strange death of Erfan and arrives.

"Yes dear," Ferry gently stroked Anggun's shoulder.

"Let Ibuk be with Vivi, son, who is waiting and accompanying Mak Surti in the kitchen" said Bu Rofida after overcoming his fear and surprise.

"Yes Buk" replied Ferry quickly.

Ms. Rofida and Vivi immediately went to the kitchen.

"Hey hey, shouldn't everyone be quiet here?" Ali Sabet protested.

"Leave it. My mother and sister couldn't have poisoned Erfan. They both do not know Erfan and there is no motive to harm Erfan," replied Ferry casually.

"Huh? So you're saying all of us here have motive to kill Erfan? Don't talk too much!" Ali Sabet who is usually grim this time lost his calm and funny behavior persona.

"Yes. I think all of us here have a motive to harm Erfan. You can't deny it Ali!" Sergeah Vita later.

"What do you mean?" Ali Sabet glared.

"Just be honest Ali. You're still vengeful not on Erfan? Because he has captured your scourge on campus first," replied Vita in a calm but piercing voice. Ali threw his face away, not saying a word.

"Andevi, you also often tell me that Erfan borrowed money from you in large quantities. And when you charge him, the guy always tickles, don't you think?" Vita looked at Andevi. Andewi was silent.

"Inge, you once had a special relationship with Erfan. But apparently, he was just playing you. Showing off how you're doing in bed to his college friend's son of a bitch," Vita glanced at Inge with a sad face.

"The woman and her husband were like that too. You certainly feel uncomfortable with the attitude of Erfan who constantly tries to tempt and damage your household. Isn't that so Nggun? Ferry?" Vita sighed.

"And me. Erfan and I have known each other for a long time. The man and I are competing for the BEM presidency. And in the end Erfan won with all the fraud and slander he spread about me. And I have to admit, I still hate it because of it until now," concluded Vita.

"That means, the only person in this room who has no motive to harm Erfan is just me" Erwin interjected.

"Really's? I know Erwin, you and Inge just got into a relationship. It could be that Inge had planned to poison Erfan, and you helped him this time," Vita stared at Erwin cynically.

Everyone eventually fell silent, pensive with their own thoughts. There was nothing they could do right now, except wait. Waiting for the police officer to arrive.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, it was raining down with several thunderbolts and thunderbolts. The River House once again becomes a terrible stage and a witness to how dangerous human liver disease can be.
