The River House

XVIII. Footprints in the kitchen

Ctiikkk

Erwin pressed the dining room light switch. The light shone brightly, revealing Erfan's deathly pale face with his mouth open. Green fly flies began to go in and out of the nostrils of the male who likes the photo. An unpleasant smell also lingered in the air. Makes Inge and Vita nauseous. Their reflexes covered his nose.

"There's no one here except Erfan's corpse," Erwin circulated his gaze.

Vita and Inge are watching. And sure enough, there's no sign of Ali there.

"My feeling is not good" said Vita slowly.

Erwin was pensive, just a day his family moved to the new house. There's been too much terrible happening.

"Hey, I found something" Inge said. Vita and Erwin compactly turned their heads.

Inge was seen crouching and picking up something. A white ring with an image of ananta, or an infinity symbol engraved on its surface.

"A beautiful ring" said Inge, watching the ring in her hand.

"Whom do you think you have?" Ask Vita curiously.

"Some," Inge raised both his shoulders.

"Let me keep it" said Erwin buru. He took the ring on Inge's palm. Inge looked unconcerned, while Vita noticed Erwin's movements.

"You know the ring's owner Win?" Ask Vita full of questions.

"Ah, no. I just saw it this time," Erwin said. Vita realized, Erwin was lying. However, he did not want to urge Erwin this time.

"Then, what should we do now?" Ask Vita further. Erwin thought for a moment.

"We're trying to go to the kitchen. Check the bathroom too. Who knew Mas Ali was there" Erwin said later. Vita and Inge agreed.

Slowly, the three of them walked towards the kitchen. The atmosphere was dark and gloomy again. There's no sound whatsoever. Only silence dominates every corner of the room.

Surprisingly, the kitchen feels cooler. A breeze that came out of nowhere, blowing quite strongly. In the darkness, Erwin felt the touch of the kitchen wall. Search for the presence of light switch.

The kitchen was lit up brightly, expelling the darkness that was covering the net. The back door leading out was clearly wide open. It was from there that the cold night wind blew.

"Couldn't Mas Ali come out?" Tanya Erwin hesitated.

"Whenever night gini out of the house? Mosquito nyari?" Vita geleng.

"Well, it's possible to smoke, get wind" Erwin replied.

Erwin walked slowly towards the back door. A little doubt he looked out. The coldness immediately hit Erwin's masculine face. The sound of some night bugs also rang out in the distance. There's nothing in the backyard. Erwin closed the door immediately.

"There's nothing. There's no way Mas Ali's outside. It was cold" Erwin said later.

"Two people were missing at about the same time. Especially before someone died of poisoning. I thought there was something wrong with this house, "Vita's face looked pale in fear.

"Maybe I better wake Mr. Nyoto up in his room. We need more men to keep watch" Erwin gave the idea. Vita agreed.

"Gaes, one minute!" Inge interrupts. His tone snapped slightly.

"You saw it too, right?" Inge pointed at the dirty kitchen floor.

Everyone is stunned. Strange sights were laid out before them. The kitchen floor is composed of light brown granite looks dirty.

Starting from the back door, there are footprints full of blackened mud. The footprints lead and stop under a two-door refrigerator located in the corner of the kitchen.

"Damn it! It's getting scary!" Erwin Mumbled. His neck feels cold. The fine fur fur all over his body was bristling together.

"Win, I'm afraid," Inge scatters Erwin. He clasped Erwin's arm.

"Let's wake up Mr. Nyoto. The more men, the safer it is," Vita looked at Erwin's face. From the look in his eyes, the woman was also frightened.

Half-running, Erwin, Inge and Vita headed to the maid's room located not far from the kitchen and bathroom.

Dock dock

Erwin knocked on Mr. Nyoto's room door in a hurry. Silence, no answer. But occasionally there is a loud snoring sound typical of father who sleeps with body ketchup an.

Dock dock

Erwin knocked on the door. This time harder. Moments later, there were footsteps being dragged.

Mr. Nyoto opened the door and exited the room. His pillow face looked quite shocked when he knew there were three people in front of his bedroom door. The man with full gray hair was only wearing a shabby box patterned scabbard. Her distended stomach was adorable.

"What's up? Erwin and Miss, what's in front of my room?" Ask Mr. Nyoto while rubbing his eyes.

Erwin immediately explained the strange state of the house. The disappearance of Ali and Andewi, as well as muddy footprints in the kitchen. Mr. Nyoto looks like a mangosteen. The old man had lost his drowsiness.

"What if it turns out that this forest is full of mediation," said Mr. Nyoto after Erwin finished speaking.

"Huh? Mean Father?" Vita scrunched his forehead. Vita is the type of person who puts logic forward. He had a hard time believing mystical stories that could not be explained by human reason and mind.

"This is all Satan. The one who entered the poison, who kidnapped the friend of the lady's friend all of it mediated. Remember, we now live in the middle of the wilderness. No one lived here before. Arrived, we are without permission, without offerings to stay in this place. Surely the real waiter does not accept our presence," Mr. Nyoto looks serious with his opinion.

"Sir, the one who poisoned Mas Erfan was indeed a demon. But the devil who possessed the human heart. The man is among us" Erwin argued. He was a little annoyed with Mr. Nyoto. Awakening the old man in fact does not make the problem under control, but instead adds to the problem with his wild theory.

"Now just gini sir. I'm with Mr. Nyoto on guard tonight, until the police contacted by Mbak Anggun arrive. We lock all the doors, and we both stand guard in front of the TV. No one can sleep. How's it?" Erwin patted Mr. Nyoto on the shoulder.

"Well, what did Nak Erwin say. I don't wear clothes before that," Mr. Nyoto agreed, although the look of his face looks reluctant and lazy.

Mr. Nyoto went into the room, wearing a gift t-shirt from the building store and did not forget to kiss the forehead of his wife who slept snoring.

"Keep, Ali and Andewi how'd Win, then,?" Ask Vita.

"Tomorrow morning we will search. You guys need a break. Go sleep. Let me and Mr. Nyoto stand guard. Okay?" Erwin asked, alternately staring at Vita and Inge. The two women could only agree. Erwin's plan does feel the most reasonable that can be done for now.
