The Long Night of Amelia

The Long Night of Amelia
Chapter 11: Time to Sleep...


Amel was in his room. The sore and tired that had been forgotten as if it had suddenly appeared. He put his little sling bag on the table. Take his pen and notebook. He wrote all the information he got this afternoon. Not to forget he recorded everything he got in his little notes. Finished with his notes, Amel took a bath and wore a t-shirt and shorts rushed to sleep.


On top of his bread bed that rang every time he threw his body on the bed, he tried to close his eyes. He remembered everything that happened all day. How he knew Mr. Darsim and Ayu. An unusual introduction. Almost even as a coincidence but maybe that's how God's destiny plays out in it.


Slowly the drowsiness comes to the drugging. It didn't take long for Amel to fall into deep sleep.


***


A haired woman passed through the shoulders wearing a knee-length conveyor belt of sleeping clothes. Her face was not very pretty but her body was densely packed.************* seemed round and full. The skin is clean mature. It looks like getting good treatment. Behind him, a Chinese-faced man with well-groomed white skin. From his stature he looks like a rich Chinese man with money. He was embracing the woman's waist with affection and looked lustful.


"Are you okay with our relationship ?" asked the man while kissing the neck of the woman he was hugging.


"Yes .not to worry." she replied briefly. The woman seemed to be enjoying the fondness that the man had given her.


" You're going to divorce her, aren't you ?" ask the man to her while turning the woman's body over to face him.


"I'm.I haven't thought about it yet." replied the woman slowly.


Plak ..a loud slap suddenly floated on the woman's cheek.


"You should divorce her!" said this man furiously. He even let go of his embrace. It was as if the intimacy he had just displayed was just a falsity. vanished without a trace.


Amel who was looking in front of the door of the luxurious white-painted room spontaneously shouted and came forward to pass. Not yet he screamed, he woke up from his deep sleep. He has been dreaming. What a strange dream. His breath was momentarily hunting. He got up and sat on his bed. Her dreams felt very real to her. Who are they ? .


Amel laid his body back. Maybe because I was too tired all day, he thought. He did not bother with his dream. He resumed his sleep. The tiredness of the day made him really sleep soundly this time until the sound of a crowed rooster belonging to a neighbor kosannyalah who had awakened it that morning. At 05.15. Amel hurried to get up and perform the dawn prayer.

But he was still confused as to what to write. Turn on the laptop on the table. Fortunately, the internet quota is still a lot and unused. He tried searching to get various information from the murder case that occurred yesterday. He didn't get enough meaningful information. Googling with various subject titles.


The Murder of the Owner of a Tiam Restaurant.


The Internet tried searching with the title he typed. Until some information came out from various sources related to the news he was looking for. Amelia clicked on one of them.


That's the information he got. The woman who was killed yesterday was a childless widow. In the news written that this woman is a former successful TKW who had worked in Hong Kong, and then he opened a Chinese restaurant business here. The success of his culinary business slowly made him able to buy a house in the downtown area. His culinary business that is increasingly successful makes him able to renovate the house he occupies.


There's not much murder information about it. Police have just released his death, allegedly because he was killed by a sharp weapon. However, there is no further information about the forensic results of his death. Some news sources analyze his death may be due to envy that may arise from the business rivals he run it. She is a widow without children. Some other sources even say this woman may have killed herself due to her debts. An obscure twist to Amel who is an idealistic journalist.


Amel clicked on the image on the google menu. There are several images related to the title he typed. His eyes widened as he saw a woman standing in front of a restaurant sign that read: Tiam Restaurant.


Amel looked surprised until he unconsciously rubbed his eyes repeatedly. He zoomed in on his daptop.


This is the woman who was in her dream last night. Exactly the same face. In the photo on the monitor, the woman is wearing a knee-length red canal dress with a pearl necklace and a gold watch that looks quite luxurious in her left hand. The woman smiled until she saw her white teeth line that looked neatly groomed.


Amel was convinced that this woman was exactly the same as the woman in his dream. His face is very similar. Could it be that his dream last night was related to all the events he was going through ? Should he investigate this murder case ?


Amel was still dumbfounded sitting on his wooden chair. It all looks like a puzzle. Could this be just a coincidence that happened just overnight. Or does God have a plan behind all this?, murmured Amel trying to digest everything.
