The River House

XXXVS. The third book series

Erwin again put on the clothes that he had thrown just like that on the river rocks. Sweat drenched his back and chest. His breathing still sounded heavy and gasping for breath.

"Don't do it out in the open like this. I can't focus, I'm afraid someone will see" Erwin said.

"No. Everyone is in the house, right? This is also my first time, to be honest I'm also nervous Win. But the sensation is different, I like it," Inge smiled mischievously.

Inge fixed the buttons of his messy clothes, also combing his hair with fingers. The sun is getting hotter. The cloud that covered the sky last night, there was not a single piece left. The sky was light blue, clear without a stain.

Erwin leaned his body on the solid black rocks. He felt thirst. His throat was dry, while the river water was so clear. Erwin stood up and patted his trousers as it was a little dusty.

"Reverse yok house. It's really thirsty" Erwin asked. Inge just nodded.

With spoiled Inge wriggling on Erwin's shoulders. Like a toddler asking to be carried.

"What the hell is ayang?" asked Erwin while poking Inge's chin.

"Gendoung," Inge replied spoiled.

"Hupp," Erwin directly pulled Inge's waist, and snuggled with his fielded back. The sweet woman immediately wrapped her hands around Erwin's neck, clenching tightly.

Inge laughed cheerfully. Happiness is able to erase the fear in Inge's heart because of the loss of his best friend. The affection and love for Erwin made Inge sure he could live happily, even if only alone in the world with the long-haired man.

Inge smiles her own smile at Erwin's arms. He was so enjoying the breeze that blew the scent of the body of the man he loved. The trees around the river swung crazily in the wind, as if dancing and feeling the happiness of Inge at this time.

Amidst his happiness, Inge's eyes caught someone at the top of the riverbank. A fleeting figure was seen standing under the guava tree. A white-haired woman, looked towards Inge and Erwin with blank eyes.

"Win win win," Inge patted Erwin's shoulder. Fear ran through his heart.

"What's up, ayangg?" Erwin asked, not knowing what Inge was seeing.

"Look, there's a granny serem in there!" Inge pointed to the riverbank. His face was pale, looking terrified.

Erwin looked up, a little difficult because he was holding Inge. Although the body is slender of course women with a height of almost 170 cm it has a weight of no less than 50 kilograms.

"Where?" Erwin didn't see anything. Only the swaying trees were visible in front of him.

"Down me" inge pinta.

"There Wiiin is," Inge again pointed to a guava tree on the riverbank. He's been coming down from Erwin's sling.

"Nothing is wrong, Ngee" argued Erwin, because there is nothing in that place at the moment. Lonely and silent, only the gurgling of the stream sounded.

"Oath Win. There was a grandmother. Her hair is white, long, seremm!" inge shouted holding back the cry. The human heart is very changeable. It was only a moment ago that I felt happiness that seemed to last forever. Suddenly fear blew away that happiness.

"OK okay. We'd better get back home, '" Erwin hugged and tried to calm down. Seeing Inge hysterically like that made Erwin even a little trepidation. Her hair stood up, though she was not sure what Inge was looking at. The sun could make her lover hallucinate.

Erwin grabbed Inge's arm, walking towards the house. Up close, the front yard looks very quiet. I don't know where everybody went. Erwin immediately led Inge into the guest room. Apparently in the room, Vita was sleeping while reading a book covered in maroon red. Erwin's collection of books that were originally in the room where Ali Sabet's body was found hung horribly.

"Why Inge Win?" Vita looks frantic looking at Inge's pale face.

"don't know. Try not to take drinking water first," said Erwin directly take a glass and pour water from the dispenser located in the corner of the room.

"Why are you?" ask Vita to worry.

"I just saw a weird grandma on the banks of the Vit River. I don't know if it's a human or a demon. His empty gaze horrified me," Inge leaned her head on Vita's shoulders.

"Please, that's your hallucination. There can be no demons in broad daylight. Then why are you hot as a gini klujuran in the river anyway? She was about to go to the toilet" Vita patted her best friend's cheek.

"Yes just want to walk the same way Erwin. But I swear I didn't lie, there was a strange grandmother just now," Inge remained convinced to have seen the apparition of a creepy grandmother.

"Emang is Win? You also see that granny's ghost?" Vita turned to ask Erwin.

"No way," Erwin shook his head in confidence.

"Well, your head's getting overheated. Appearing mirages, continuing hallucinations," Vita yells Inge's forehead slowly.

Inge looked calmer. He was still comfortably resting his head on Vita's shoulders. While Erwin was busy tidying up his book collection that was still scattered on the floor of the room. Because of the rush, Erwin had not had time to finish the book when he brought it from the room.

"Vita, Ali is gone" Inge said.

"Huh? How's how?" Vita.

"Erwin told the story, his body was found hanged in Erwin's room" explained Inge. Erwin just nodded.

Vita looks calm hearing Ali's death. Maybe the woman had guessed beforehand that Ali would not survive.

"I was worried about Andevi. May he be well" Inge looked up, praying sincerely.

"Mbak Vit's. How many books did you borrow?" Erwin cut the conversation. He turned back his collection of books.

"One," Vita answered briefly.

"Well, how about one, missing one" said Erwin, once again looking at and counting the stacks of his books.

"Who did you read earlier, Zainul Rich Man series to how many?" ask Erwin then.

"The first series whose title is reunion residents of the riverfront house. It's in the corner of the bed" Vita replied while showing the book's location.

"That means there is no third series. Where ya?" Erwin cuddly.

Unfortunately the book Erwin was looking for did not meet, not in the entire corner of the guest room. Erwin sat on the floor, remembering the contents of the third book series by Zainul Rich Man.

"Hmm, the title is 'Toxic Relationships'. Where's the book?" murmured Erwin alone.

Erwin thought for a moment, remembering that the book might have fallen somewhere. Suddenly he remembered one of the Chapters in the book by the Richman.

Erwin's face changed immediately. He was realizing something. The details of Erfan's murder in the dining room, remind him of the story in book 3 of the Richman.

Erwin now knows who killed Erfan. However, it was just his conjecture without a single piece of evidence.
