The RoofTop Girl's

The girl soft-spoken

Dimpled

He was busy struggling with a sheet of paper reporting the incident at the office when the phone in his pants pocket rang. A new number is making a call. Intentionally unappointed, he was not used to raising the call of an unnamed number. A few minutes later, a message came in.

Brother, this is Audrey. Take Sonia's cell phone, Audrey's lobet. Please pick up the phone.🙏🙏

He did not reply to the message, but instead called the number directly, the connection was lifted.

"Hallo, what is Drey?"

"Hallo, assalamualaikum." A sweet and soft voice sounded there.

"Ops, yes Waalaikumsalam." His voice choked because he was embarrassed not to say hello first, he pinched his own nose.

"Sorry sir, it's Sonia, Audrey wanted to call it necessary, but now she's back for a bit." Again the melodious voice was heard, I don't know only this time he heard that quiet voice, calming everyone who heard.

"Oh yeah, I'll call you again."

"Yes sir, thank you."

"Ehh, wait..."

"Yeah??"

"Don't call me father, you're Audrey's friend, call me like Audrey called me."

A minute's silence...

"Well, I'll tell you that Audrey's back, Assalamualaikum."

"Getishalight." The connection was cut off, but he was still staring at his phone, saving the new contact by the name of Sonia.

Viewed the profile photo on Sonia's contact, a picture of a girl with a long hijab facing the beach turned her back to the camera until she could not see her face, only the silhouette of her body, but she could already guess it was Sonia.

Just wanted to keep her phone back, Sonia's contact called again

"Hallo, Assalamualaikum."

"Waalaikumsalam, this is Audrey's sister."

"Yes Audrey, what's wrong?"

"Are you busy?"

"Not really, what's up?" He repeated the question, something must be wrong to hear the voice of the girl raucously as if she had cried.

"Audrey there's a need, but can't talk about it over the phone, can I see you?"

"Sister to Rooftop any minute, wait there."

"Yes, brother." Phone calls are cut off.

He drove his car at moderate speed towards Galih clinic, walking quickly up the stairs to Rooftop the third floor building. He frowned when he reached the top, the sight he saw was ridiculous.

The girl spoke to the rose, which was true, if Sonia was already insane. He walked up to Sonia who was standing facing the rose plant growing in an artificial garden near the gazebo.

"Ehem." He made a small cough that made the girl turn her head and stop her activities.

"Oh, it's up, Audrey's still inside." Said Sonia half-nervous, she knew the girl was always nervous, last met when eating a cloth Sonia was also nervous and always looked down.

"What are you doing?" he deliberately glanced at the yellow rose that the girl had spoken to.

"Oh, talk to roses."

He strongly refrained from laughing at the time, instead of waking up he only smiled, and unfortunately Sonia saw that.

"Why? anything weird?" Search the girl.

"Yes, obviously strange, you're talking to plants, which is true."

Sonia raised her eyebrows and turned to look at the yellow rose.

"sound waves with a certain frequency are able to stimulate stomata (leaf mouth) remain open, so as to increase the rate and efficiency of absorption of nutrients and minerals in the plant growing media."

"Plants also have senses that can respond to any stimuli, including sound. They can receive ultrasonic waves from all around, see the structure of the leaves and flowers of each stalk is different, let's see." Sonia spoke eloquently until she found it difficult to distinguish this girl was actually a nurse or botanist.

He took a look at the structure of the leaf bone of the rose, rightly, the arrangement is unique and different.

"Try talking to them."

Huh, that's right. He stood up again and smiled awkwardly.

"After I speak to this flower, it is certain that no one will report a case to me, as it will be considered a mad cop talking to roses."

"No, thank you, next time." He smiled meaningfully at Sonia.

.

"Sister, are you here?" He walked up to Dimas who was talking about what Sonia was talking about.

"Yes, from earlier."

They were sitting in the gazebo three, he had time to breathe softly before finally brother Dimas made a sound.

"Her problem?"

"Sister's ex-boyfriend wants to report me to the police."

"Former girlfriend? who?"

"The policewoman in my sister's apartment first." He looked at Dimas.

"Zia?"

He nodded slowly holding back the cry.

"Why can?"

"I fought with his sister."

"You mean Zizi? what's wrong with Zizi?" Dimas changed his sitting position, leaning towards him.

He recounted all the events that happened in the campus this morning, until finally threatened by Zia to bring this case into the realm of law. Brother Dimas heard seriously without commenting in the slightest.

"Give it to brother, brother will handle it before they make a complaint."

"Thank you brother." He shrank the tears that came out of the corner of his eye with the back of his hand.

"The galaxy knows?"

He shook slowly.

"Tell him, if there's anything, your partner is the first person who should know, don't let him hear from others."

He nodded, Dimas was right, he had to tell this to Galih's brother, considering the breakdown of the relationship with Bayu was caused because he was not open to the man, did not want to repeat the same mistake, he said, he walked into the house with his cell phone in his ear.

***

Dimas turned to look at Sonia who immediately looked down.

"You're on the scene, right?" His voice was amused at the expression of the girl, exactly like a cat, the definition of the term 'abashed cat'.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Then you're a witness."

"Yes, I am willing at any time if I have to be asked to testify later." Sonia was clearly hiding her nervousness.

"Good."

Silent for a moment, Sonia was still at home looking down. Audrey was back soon still holding her phone in her hand.

"Drey, it looks like the uni is coming home first yes, insyaallah tomorrow the uni is here again" Suddenly Sonia stood approaching Audrey.

"Thank you for that." They embrace each other, well the style of women when they meet or part with the colony.

Dimas stood up too.

"Sister still has business in Drey's office. You don't worry, just let brother finish, leave it to brother." Dimas patted Audrey on the shoulder.

"Thank you brother."

***

Sonia first went down the stairs in haste, but still Dimas could follow from the tail end of her eyes.

"Hey, wait."

The girl stopped her steps

"I'm taking it."

"No need brother, I can go home alone."

"Come on, you're a witness. Witnesses must be protected."

"I'm a witness to the feud of two teenage girls, not a witness to a serial murder, what to protect." Obviously Sonia sneered towards Dimas, making the man want to explode laughing.

"I'm not used to rejection, let's go home with me."

"And I'm not used to coercion either, thank you." Sonia went back down the stairs to Dimas.

To be continue...

happy weekend yaa
