A MENTARY WITHOUT EMOTION
Histories
The next visit is a place full of many mysteries. One thing I do know is that the place is almost nearing the truth. Does the truth have anything to do with me?
‘Wonder theater yes... Should I find out now?’
I opened my phone to find out more about the theater. The theater that appears in internet images looks like a luxurious and magnificent stage even though its age is very old. The old stage still gives an impression that is alegan to look worth looking at. It seems that the theater is often visited by elite people and very interested people.
‘What does this have to do with me?’
I pressed my hand against the doll I was hugging, somehow this sick feeling suddenly came just like that.
It felt like my heart was so turbulent, I was getting curious, but what if it was a truth I could not accept? What if the truth changed my life? How important is it that I know the truth?
I kept wondering, my hands were trembling and cold sweat was pouring down his pockets.
“Wuah Lucy, it seems you really look forward to the next visit until nervous so,” exclaimed Felix who made me break from the questions floating in my mind.
“Yaaa that is, I am indeed impatient as to what will be there,” I replied interspersed with a smile.
“Do you like Lucy's history?” noel asked because he did not want to be alone when his friend was busy chatting.
“Yes, I kind of like history,” I replied, although history for me is ordinary.
“Wuah surely you like this visit, it seems like you will be interested in the past that the place has because many lessons can be taken,” said Noel.
‘Instead I am a bit doubt whether I am interested whose name is past?’ my question is in my heart.
About 1 hour we arrived at the destination, I got off the bus and immediately saw an unusual sight. That beauty that came to my mind for the first time, was different from the image I saw from the internet. This is outside of my obsession.
The doll that I left on the bus, without realizing it all this time Peter was in the doll so that he could easily reach his destination without being seen by humans. After class 12-A students leave. Peter slowly pulls himself out of the doll and justifies his suit and hat.

I was looking for Niki and Sarah, have they gone down?
‘Hah! Finally met.’
When I wanted to get close to the two of them, I suddenly stopped in the middle of the road. I saw Niki's runny face, it's hard to describe it. His face is really wrinkled.
“Niki what's wrong with you?” ask Sarah who is worried.
“Haa...Hahaha I seem to be a bit drunk because it is not unusual to take the bus,” he replied with a grinning smile.
I turned around and locked up the intention of meeting them, after all, this visit must be in groups and united with each class.
Right at the entrance, my feelings became afraid to step again.
Wh why?
‘Again I hesitated to step in there, like I didn't want to know... But I must know or this curiosity will not disappear, my inner’. I froze and the others left me.
Suddenly there was something like pushing me slowly, making me able to step forward again. I looked back.
“Wuuaah. Sir surprised me,” said I who suddenly walked back a few steps.
The problem was that this person in front of me was unusual, he was wearing a formal black hat and suit and wearing white gloves and carrying a black umbrella, the clothes he was wearing were ordinary but what surprised me was his head that turned into a cute white bear.
‘Is he one of the mascots here?’ my question is in my heart.
“LuuCy It Aaku... Peter.”
“Peter! Why you..” I was surprised that he suddenly spoke. Peter gave me a piece of paper that said.
‘Resurge Miss, you will be left behind with your entourage.’
I immediately ran after my entourage who already wanted to go to the next room. As I ran I looked back, the mascot had disappeared from its place.
“Where is Lucy?” ask Felix who's conscious of losing one of his members.
“He felt behind us earlier,” replied Noel who saw here and there.
“Hoss.. Hoss... Hoss,” my breath makes them stare at me.
“Lucy, where have you been?” ask Felix worried.
“Tadi... My shoelaces came off, so I lost you. Did I miss something?” say lying.
“Not yet, we are waiting for the driver here,” Noel replied.
“Oh thank goodness I didn't miss anything,” I said.
“Welcome to Wonder Theater kids!”
“!!!??"
The person who greeted us now came with an unusual appearance.
His active behavior made me even more surprised.
Black suit and hat and carrying a black umbrella that he made like a cane, the most unique of which was the head of the bear I saw at the entrance.
‘PETER!!! WHAT'S HE DOING THERE?’
“Wuah see no funny mascot here.”
“Wuah cute and also cool.”
‘They praised the man,’ my unexpected bati.
“From now on I am the host of this event, so please work together yak,” said Mr. Bear while lifting his hat.
“Good!”
‘Director!?’
I didn't expect the black creature to be our guide. Moreover, his voice turned into a normal man in general, it was what relieved me. I don't know what would happen if they heard the real heavy and terrible sound. Obviously that voice was like a whisper of terror to me. I was thinking about it again.
But in reality he is a good creature. Everything will be fine as long as he doesn't hurt anyone. “Here kids.”
One by one we entered a place that had the greatest mystery of which we were waiting. The theater.the stage is clearly visible in my eyes now.
My shoulder was suddenly held by a bear in a hat, suddenly making me look astonished at him. As if he gave a code to be ready to listen to the truth.
“This is where the bloody tragedy of ten years ago. The souls that have fallen here will never be forgotten. Where is one thing from history that we know. Wonder Theater is a great historical relic in our country.”
“Wow..”.
“I will retell this history so that for those who do not know how the tragedy that befell this place,” said the host who began to tell stories.
The flashback
Starting from the theater that continues to present new performances every year, this theater is devoted to the nobles, upper class and important people in the country.
This theater presents a new drama that will premiere on June 27, 19XX. The upper class is very interested in hearing it, but they do not know what will happen to them in the future.
The event was held at exactly 8 pm, no one knew that behind the event there was a dark plan in it.
“Wuahh this place is very amazing.”
“Nak... Do not be noisy when the show starts,” said soft Mother.
“Good,” replied the child cheerfully.
“If you can learn a lesson from this drama. Dad will give you whatever you want,” said Dad.
“Really?” shock the child because he barely heard his father give him such an exaggerated gift.
“Iya. Dad meant it.”
“Wuah fun.”
The beautiful girl was named....
“See... That orange-haired child, isn't she very pretty? definitely from the nobility,” whispered a woman with her eccentric style.
“Yes, his family seems to look very happy, make envy,” said the woman next to him who also whispered.
“Really? That sounds really great.”
“But do you know his father if he is not wrong, he went to jail because he once made a dark sale in his company.”
“It was terrible.”
“His mother also almost had an affair with another man while her husband was in prison, probably because she was ashamed of having such a husband haha.”
“Free to have a child as great as that but his parents do not have a good name, as the saying fruit falls not far from the tree. Maybe her son will be like that one day. Hahaha.”
The whispers made the happy-looking family depressed. Praise behind slanderous criticism filled the theater.
‘That lie Daddy and Mom never do such a thing,’ inner little girl.
While both of his parents had a gloomy face, dark and seemed to force a smile. They have heard it many times, even the vile slander cannot be abolished, because the misunderstanding is getting worse.
His father was trapped and cheated by a dark company and had to be in prison for 3 years and the girl's mother only cooperated with others to seek additional income not for cheating. All of that was just a misunderstanding, they just looked beyond it not the contents. Now they just straighten out rumors about his family so that their names are not tarnished anymore.
Especially their little ones. The only child they have to protect right now.
***
“Everything is ready in position?”
“Siap.”
As soon as it started, the open red curtain showed a person in the middle with a big smile.
“WELCOME LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... Good evening to everyone, before the event starts I am very grateful for those who have been present to enjoy this event, I understand you all can not wait for this event. Okay, don't have to linger anymore let's start the show!!”
All the spectators applauded hoping that the show they were watching did not disappoint.
The host plucked his hand and all the lights went out completely, not long after which the light beam moved erratically to the audience, making the guests confused.
And at a certain time the floodlight stopped on a man in a neat suit and his very important figure he was the Mayor.
“Congratulations!! you have been chosen to be our TARGET! Please accept this gift!!”
“Gift? What gift is it?”
‘DORR!’
Suddenly blood appeared behind the white coat worn by the Mayor. The pointed bullet hit his chest and a red rose sprouted.
Silence was instantaneous, all the people in the theater froze and were shocked at what they heard and saw.
“Look at the Permisa! The chosen figure looks very happy after receiving the prize, anyone wants to try it?” exclaim The Host who has become a psychopathic clown.
Everything immediately ran and panicked, the lights returned to highlight randomly and shot everyone who was exposed to the spotlight.
Fear, panic and tension haunted the entire theater. Hysterical screams were heard outside, the police immediately evacuated the place.
“Quick through here, is there anyone else still trapped inside? Huh hello? Report squad 2A, is there anyone who is still not out?”
***
The man across there did not answer because he was dead. The blood on the floor made the guests even more frantic uncontrollably, before long the rifle was pointed at the guests not least the family of the little orange-haired girl.
The criminals told them to keep quiet.
“DIAM!”
Surprisingly, regardless of where the black-haired boy was carrying a firearm, no one knew where he came from....
‘DOR DOR’
Shaking, he immediately opened fire on the Villain, as a result he was killed instantly, instead of the boy looks happy instead he was surprised by the disgraceful act, the first shot successfully hit the criminal, he said, what about the second shot?
“AYAHH!!”
The screams of the orange-haired girl he knew sounded clearly in the boy's ears. The tears fell on the corpse he loved. In the depths of his heart he regretted his actions, he ran crying.
The second shot hit the head of the father of the orange-haired girl. The important figure in the family is gone, the mother and her child must be willing to lose the head of the family and they live in deep sorrow.
Since then the theater has been called the night of the bloody rose.
Flashback off
“If I am in that position I do not know what to do,” said Felix who felt sorry for the victims who fell.
“At least sad when we remember such a painful past,” Noel said.
Everyone talks about this dark history. I remember those bitter pieces again.
As long as I heard that story my head became dizzy, even my ears hurt hearing it, it seemed like I really did not like the past.
“Lucy how's your menu-rout-rout? Lucy?” noel asked with a face that turned somewhat anxious.
Before he realized it, I replied to him with a contrived smile.
“Sounds interesting like fiction stories only yak.”
“History is real not fiction,” Noel said. Sucks.
‘KReek.’ (cracked sound)
“Yes, not all history ends happily yak,” I said with a smile that was getting wider on my cheek making Noel and Felix a bit scared.
“Oh- i-iya guide-don't we have to go to the next room,” Felix stammered.
“There is still 1 minute left, well kids are there any questions about the history of Wonder Theater?”
One child raised his hand and asked, “Is there some ulterior motive of those criminals?”
“Meet their passions of course, they are hungry for entertainment so they try to do crazy things by renting a theater to kill the guests who are interested in watching their show. Anything else?” answer the driver.
Then there was one male disciple, he did not accept with an answer that he thought was absurd.
“No way, why did he shoot the Mayor first rather than the others, surely they were the ones who were hired to commit murder against the Mayor.”
“Look, when you want to play shots, there is a prize neatly lined up on the shelf, he said, there's a fancy and expensive gift but it's just plain to you and there's one gift that looks rare high quality if you get it you can become famous, which gift did you choose?”
“Of course that second gift, let alone an interesting one than that,” replied the boy confidently.
“True, you deserve to be like those villains son.”
“A-What... What are you talking about Mr..”
“The first gift is like only wealthy guests but will not have too big an impact, such guests if killed first would not be too famous until the other cities even their deaths could be covered up by the government for the sake of their name untainted, in order to prevent that the criminals prefer the government such as a second gift, a guest who has an important and famous position in the eyes of the citizens, if you kill him, everything will be horrendous and your name will be remembered by most of this country, which is why criminals not only want to be ordinary killers but famous killers of all time. Please do not imitate children,” said the Bear-headed guide.
“Noel, do you think you've learned a lesson from this history?” ask Felix.
“Cock already.”
‘Nothing, no value in it, nothing at all, there is only sorrow and sorrow and a bitter taste that exceeds anything.’
I clenched my hand hard. Biting the bottom of my lips.
I don't know why I'm upset right now.
Peter, who was still holding my shoulder, looked at me silently and just tilted his head. Then his watch sounded.
“Good kids time is up, let's rest in the next room.”
“Good!”
“And the event is done.”
....
“Do not get discouraged because not everything will end happily.”
