Persons


the pain will do anything to get rid of the pain. That is what


clara Mara and Fernando Germanotta. Andrew Edden and Zachary


Zebuah. Their minds were not sane on that day, and what happened


next is equally insane. Fernando is full of emotions moving towards


the police station to get it all done, and the frightened Clara asks for help


her father, rashly. Clara didn't really know what at the time


done her. Moreover, he did not know what impact he would cause.


            Day


Haranta dropped his body on the grass that had been cut in the field


futsal. Sweat fell from his body onto the grass, and


his back feels a little itchy. Hayden's been found but for his trouble


far from finished. The fact is, the problem won't really be solved, either,


until the trouble maker can be revealed. It was so hot. And also


it feels like this afternoon lasted as long as it. Haranta day just wants his problems


it's over, but he knows it's impossible.


            Terrified


the biggest of the day is Hayden. No, Hari is not emotionally afraid of


her sister. He was afraid he could not raise Hayden like the two parents


nya want. Or worse, be like him. Day change


day, Day saw Hayden become her self. Day has a lot of problems


waiting to be completed, but her taste of Marsella adds to her burden of being


until it becomes a burden that can not be held back again.


            Hayden


come along with Zach with the bike. Zach didn't get out of his seat


nya, and just watched Hayden approaching the day he was sleeping in


grass, right in the stinging sun. Hayden unbuttoned


her uniform and rolled her thick school pants over her knees. Him


lay down with the direction of the foot opposite to that of Day, so that the head


they can be next to each other.


            “Not


this is Hayden's school hour?” tanya Hari who was still looking up while


close his eyes. Hayden took out a black eyeglass from the bag of pants


her, then put her on. “No,” replied Hayden gently. “Actually yes. Only


my sister's mental health is more important than education and the future


country and the future of the Haranta Family.”


            Day


no laugh. But his body is shaking. And not long after the sound of laughter was held


can sound loud. Hayden then laughed. Hayden overthrew


her head was leaning on Hari's shoulder. Day's hands stroking hair


Hayden's. No matter what happens, the two of them will take care of each other. Anything


hari's words to Fernando, and whatever Hayden disagrees with


opinion Day. There was no fact that could state if they were not sisters


brothers who love each other.


            “I


apologise. You're right, I won't be able to understand what you're feeling


Hayden's. Really, I'm a bad brother. I'm sorry, and I'm sincere


implored. Never think of ending your life.” The Voice of the Day


deep and fierce sound turned into a very subtle. She's stroking hair


Hayden was soft. Hands feel warm when touching the scalp


Hayden's. And Hayden likes that feeling. The day always does this at the moment


Little hayden first. Especially when Hayden wants to go to bed. Day always


stroked her hair until she fell asleep.


            “I


stupid to think of escaping to Canada. And Hari, you're my only family


what remains. Stop saying you're a stupid brother. Besides Fernando, I


no one else. Imagine life without you, it feels a little strange


no?” said Hayden. Actually if she opens her sunglasses, then it will


look if Hayden's eyes are glazed right now. Hayden is easily carried away by emotions.


            “Live


too short for too much sadness,” said Hari. “Mama ever


say it like that. I didn't understand what he meant back then, but now, now,


I think he's right. If they were alive. If all this had not happened.”


The conversation began to change. Hayden realized, so did Hari. Day wants


talking about Marsella. But he didn't know where to start. She's afraid


disappointing Hayden, and afraid if Hayden sees his low after


knowing the truth about her sister. Meanwhile, Hayden also wanted to know what


relationship Today with all this. Because Hayden knew there must be a connection


by this. Day claimed to be working on Ivan Gonzela. The confession is more than


thats enough. And Hayden knew that both Clara and Andrew knew Hari not because


Hari is Hayden's older brother, but because of this problem. Somehow, they


all connected to lies.


            Hayden


stand up and then pull Hari's hand to stand up as well. He took off


her glasses and pairing them on Day. “Ayo street. We both know us


need to tell a very long story, and for sure this field is too narrow


for a tiring story, isn't it, Hari?” Day stands and pats


behind her shirt and pants. He then grabbed Hayden's shoulder. “Ya.” Zach


immediately left after seeing Hayden go in his direction along with the day.


Zach's job is done here. Even though he hopes to get answers


which Hayden promised now.


            Haranta


The brothers went to the middle of the city close to the field they had just


bedding. The afternoon in Aseline was indeed quiet. Not many vehicles passed in


here's. There were only a few people walking to rest. This area


known as Asline. Aslin is the center of Aseline. Lots of drinks


diverse here, though still dominated by boring coffee and iced coffee.


Aslin is also the home of Haranta's first home. After that they moved


closer to the city and school. Walking here can give


the feeling was calm and comfortable for both of them, although the weather was clear


stinging.


            They


stop at the bike shop. Hayden took out his credit card and


swiping it on the machine. Three hours. More than enough or maybe


less for them. Hayden stood behind the bike, and Day was paddling


his bike. Thanks to Hayden's thick boots, Hayden's feet didn't hurt.


They drive without direction. None of them want or want to


go where. They just follow the wind and heart. Because Hayden is too


I don't know how to start a conversation to ask.


            Day


stop at a park that is not too large. The garden is full of plants


fake or at least be painted to make it look attractive. But not at all.


Hayden is the son of Elizabeth's art club. He is also the one who paints


dahlia flowers in the canteen. Seeing those plants makes Hayden


disgusted. They were sitting on a toy made of


plastic. Day had time to try touching her before sitting down, and the results of her fingers


pain now. They're on top of him. In the part covered by the roof.


Because somehow, this park has no benches at all. Airborne


it was hot, and became very stuffy because the place they were sitting in was very


narrower.


            “You


tau? The fact that we are sitting here is very stupid.” Hayden wiped the sweat


which keeps coming out of his forehead. Last day it slid down with a slide


that, followed by Hayden. They both kept cycling. Day feel


it's a pity if they've only cycled so far. He chose to tell stories


while cycling. Not a bad idea to get hit during the day


Aselines.


            “You


know not if I become ‘itu’ for the Gonzela Family?” tanya Day starts


answered. ‘Itu’ referred to by Hari is a dealer. Gonzela Family


indeed often ‘help’ those in need. All sorts of work is in


there, with all sorts of consequences. He was 20 years old when he


working with Ivan. He also knows the consequences of his work. But for the sake of


Hayden and his life, Hari chose to do anything as long as she could survive.


Hayden was neither angry nor resentful towards the choices his older brother made. In fact


Hayden was proud and concerned by the choice of Day. He was proud to have a brother


the self-sacrificing person even knows if it is self-harming, and is concerned because


her self back then couldn't be too helpful.


            “I


will always be by your side no matter what happens. Just tell me all about


me, okay?” hayden said as he looked at Hari. Hayden is a cyclist


the reliable. Turning his head 90 degrees while driving is not a thing


impossible. Smiling day. His smile faded because of the sunlight


which was about the face of the day. “I am a friend of Marsella. I reckon. Our


talk every time I go to his house to pick up the package that Ivan left in


her house. Over time we became closer, until I thought he put


taste to me. Until one day Marsella with her fucking curiosity, she


open the package and know what it is. Long story short, he wanted to help me


by talking to the police about his father. But I tried to stop


nya. We fought, and he bled. Because I hate the


Fernando, I told you to give the shirt to Fernando, as a new shirt


blood as a motivation. I swear on you Hayden, not me.”.


            Hayden


taking a deep breath and a long time to process everything


just heard it. He has promised to accept Hari's answer


or not, behave as a sister when her brother needs her. But for what sake


pun. Even for the sake of his university test scores though, Hayden wanted to explode,


yelling, and gushing Hari with a thousand harsh words. But he's holding everything back


nya. Hayden expertly held back his feelings. Sometimes no one even knows what


hayden Feelings. The trauma of childhood, and her living environment that made her


Hayden becomes Hayden.


            Fernando


it was everything to Hayden. Even after they had a fight. Sneakily


Hayden's always looking for Fernando's news. They don't care what they say


people or how a part of the world is trying to fight them. Because on


finally, it was their life. They are the ones who created their lives


based on their desires, not based on the desires of the world or people


others they don't even know. Day never liked Fernando, though,


and it does make Hayden also do not like Day sometimes. But, uh,


Hayden could never choose. Perhaps, until recently, where Hari


ask Hayden not to see Fernando and ask for their relationship


it ends. That was their fight. The reason why Hayden wanted to escape to


Canadian.


            “I


trust in you. My brother can't kill people. Really Day, I


trust in you. But why Fernando? I know you don't like her, but


you could have ruined his future. You know that?” reply Hayden with


slow, soft, and trying his best not to explode. Day looked


Hayden quickly, then faced the road again. He knows this is Hayden's reaction. Him


admit wrong. The day was wrong, absolutely wrong of all things. He accused and


he hit a woman. Hayden could not say the second thing. All in


his life began to fall and the last thing he wanted was his older brother


who feel guilty. Hayden also knew to be quiet and let Hari think it was


it's okay much worse. But the fact is, Hayden's position now is


position is wrong. And Hayden chose to be a sister-supervisor-and-supportor.


            “Sorry


about it. But I told you that I'm starting to learn to accept it now.


My mind was fucked. I can't think very well, and because


the situation was so suffocating, I made a quick decision,”


clear Day. “Then I knew you wanted to talk about me hitting Marsella. I know


Hayden's. I'm such a jerk. I shouldn't have done that. If he


still alive, I want to say sorry.”


            Hayden


laughingly. He immediately forgot his thoughts about silence. The day knows.


Hayden was great at hiding his emotions, but not Hari. Possibly


also Hayden's expression helped Hari understand her sister. “You didn't


tell anyone, right?” tanya Day tried to make sure. In my heart, it


really hope not. Even at this moment, he was certain that his self could not


trusting others is too full. Her secret self, and her sister's secret


it's imperative. “Edden. I was panicking, and I didn't know what I was doing


            “Damn it!”


aspersons Hayden. He knows how this information will end. In Clara's hands


it is certainty that happens. It's possible, if it falls into Zach's hands, Hayden


I can still talk to Zach. But Hayden's closeness to Andrew was not


like her with Zach. Everything can get messy and out of control if


Clara got that information. It's nothing, it's just that Hayden's not the one who


it is easy to trust others. Clara and Andrew are strangers


Hayden's.


            They


cycling until arriving at the Regren Bridge. Hayden and Hari climbed up the bridge


to see the sunset. That's their plan, but they realize that


they must return the bike before their rental hours run out. But they


choose to go up on the bridge. Iron bridge feels hot when


occupied. Therefore Hayden and Hari chose to stand. Stand with


very high altitude really gives a different taste with


sitting on the bridge. But Hayden was trying to make that day a day


interesting though. Hayden tickled Last day Hayden ran over the edge of the bridge. Day too


come running, because he thought Hayden was looking at his bravery. They


spend a few minutes on top of running around, and of course, no one


care to see two people running around on a high bridge.


            A white car that looks expensive


stop right behind Fernando. Fernando did not give one


I care about that car. He kept walking and walked towards


the police station brought Andrew's voice recordings. He wants to end it all here,


now, and for the longest time. He's gonna get Hayden out of there, man,


and cleared his name of everyone's accusation. That'sallthatis. That's all there is


in Fernando's brain at the time.


            Two people got out of the car.


Dress like a normal person. Blue-black jacket with black jeans


length. They covered their faces with bandanas, and their eyes with


black eye glass. Fernando only glanced briefly back, and at that moment


he also knows what is going on. Clara and Jorge got out of the car


back seat. Clara did not want to look at Fernando. His eyes flinch facing


sideways. Clara, she's terrified, panicked, and a hundred percent sorry to have been


call his dad. When knowing Andrew was hit Fernando and Fernando had


recording their conversation, Clara immediately called her father. He panicked, nothing


who can say he's wrong. But, no one can say that either


a wise action.


            Fernando turned his body to


backside. To face the two men. He put his two fists up, he,


straight with his face. He braced his horses, preparing two men as well


it immediately lunged towards her. Fernando knows he doesn't have one


occasion. The two people who were in front of Fernando had a burly body,


more from Fernando. Fernando also thinks, even if there's Hayden here


they can't necessarily win.


            The man named Marsel was advancing


first, followed by the person next to her, Alvred. They are both students


martial arts from gym Ivan. One of Andrew and Hari.


They were a year older than Fernando, not knowing that fact alone


Fernando is pessimistic about winning. Before Marsel's fist drifted into the cheek


Fernando, Fernando's only thinking about Hayden. That he fought to be able to


get Hayden out of jail and clear his name. Point.


            Marsel's first fist to the face


Fernando can avoid. The second box came from Alvred from behind


nya. Fernando ducked down to dodge, and succeeded. Fernando runs to


to put distance between himself and the two of them. Plan


Fernando is making them tired, then just finishing them off. But


looks like it, it'll be reversed. Marsel advanced again with his fists.


Fernando restrains with his hands, then punches back into Marsel's chin. That thing


prevented by Alvred who punched Fernando's left cheek as he caught his guard. Fernando


back to back, again to make distance. Blood came out of his lips.


            “Clara...” says Jorge staring at Clara.


Jorge knew it was going to end badly for everyone. Clara doesn't even know


what to do. He looks panicked for the first time. Jorge is no longer


waiting for a reaction or even Clara's orders. He immediately ran to the side


Fernando to help. Jorge can't fight, but he won't


seeing his classmates being beaten up for reasons that even he didn't think were


evidently. The reason Jorge joined Clara was because Clara looked panicked, and Zach didn't


can come along because he's taking Andrew to his house.


            “Before you think of anything else


Fernando's. I'm here to help you,” said Jorge as he stared


position of Fernando's body. Then he followed her. From the position of the hands, feet, to


the shape of Fernando's body.


            “Ucap someone who came out of


the car that took these two men. You're Zach's friend, aren't you?” Marsel and Alvred


attacking together forward. They don't care even if it's about Jorge.


Their superior is Clara's father, which means one worth guarding only


Clara. Not his friend. Fernando and Jorge simultaneously dodged. “My name


Jorge.” Fernando nodded at Jorge. Fernando needed help. It


lower his ego, and choose to receive help from anyone at that time.


“Well Jorge, can you fight?” ask Fernando.


            Alvred punched Jorge from the front


straight to Jorge's face. Fernando was surprised and tried to run towards him


to help Jorge. At that time Fernando even forgot if there was still Marsel.


Marsel snuck Fernando who was running. He fell down on the asphalt.


Fernando's head was dizzy, and his chin was bleeding a lot.


At that time, Fernando was still trying to go towards Jorge who was being beaten


all-out by Alvred. But Marsel is still continuing his work. Him


turn Fernando's body so that their faces can be faced, then


Fernando was beaten like Jorge.


            Clara screams from the car to


tell them to stop. Then he ran towards the unconscious Jorge


selves. Jorge's face is in a really bad state. Clara was hysterical and panicked.


He immediately put Jorge in the car and Fernando too. She didn't


marsel and Alvred. He took the car to the hospital


nearest. He continued to look for the position of the nearest hospital in the map application on mobile phone


nya. As soon as he met, he immediately stepped on the gas pedal. Temporal


that is, Marsel and Alvred called Clara's father to inform her of their assignment


already done.


Zach riding


Andrew was beginning to be unconscious on his back. Andrew's blood is through


up to Zach's shirt, then to his skin. Throughout the journey Andrew continued


bleed. Her blood droplets could look like a trail


lagged. Zach is sweating badly. He ran from the bridge to


looking for a car to ride to his apartment. Then ran up


stairs one by one to find an elevator that is not full. Because I don't know bad luck


what befell them, the ground floor lifts are full.


            Zach pushed the door open


with his shoulders. Ferdinand who was reading the book was shocked.


Her child was sweating and full of blood spots was hugging a person who was not


wake up and keep bleeding. But Ferdinand held back his emotions,


and his screams. He closed his book quickly and hurriedly opened the door


zach Room. Then he went to the barn next to the bathroom to pick up


carpet for Andrew. Ferdinand then closed the door to Zach's room and took a breath


the long. He only hoped that his son would not take action


the ‘harm’. Given what had happened, Ferdinand was at all


not quiet. He didn't even sleep for a few days. He's afraid that Zach


do something.


            Zach immediately took out the medicine box


the one in her room desk drawer. He punched out with Andrew's delicate wound


with cotton already sterilized with alcohol and Betadine. Andrew looked


he was in pain, but he made no sound. Zach is hot


and sweat. The window of his room was open, and the wind was blowing


tight outside. Zach panics and is afraid to make mistakes. Although Andrew


just lie back and wait for Zach's action. When all Andrew's wounds were


bandaged, Zach comes out of his room to draw air and also picks up


drink to Andrew.


            Ferdinand was sitting on the sofa


stand up and move towards Zach. “What happened!?” her word


with whispers slowly so as not to sound Andrew. Zach is tired, though,


and is in need of immediate calm sprayed questions and urges to


answer from his father. “Can you just calm down once? Daddy's! My friend is


get hurt and let me take care of everything, okay?” Zach ignored Ferdinand's rant


and go straight to the kitchen. He opened the kitchen window so the wind could come in. Zach


stay in front of the window for a while before moving into the closet to pick up


goblets. He did not want to rush because he was lazy to hear Ferdinand's rant


any more. Really, Zach only wished a day where his father could leave


he was alone with what he wanted to do.


            Zach took the glass and then


fill it with water. Ferdinand only saw Zach go into his room


any more. This time he spoke nothing. Ferdinand did not understand what


it actually happened between her and her child. Since a few years


lastly, Zach became even further away from Ferdinand. And on the other hand, Ferdinand


getting in Zach's way. Their relationship was complicated, and none of them


who wants to change to fix the situation.


            “Andrew. Now, you have to


tell me what happened.” Zach sits on the floor helping Andrew


drink. Zach took some pillows for himself and Andrew. Andrew is still


he felt dizzy and his whole body was in pain. Zach looked at Andrew for pity.


He was shocked when he received a call from Fernando. Zach hurriedly went to


park by running and meet Clara on the road. Actually careless. If Zach


not meeting Clara on the street so Andrew could not be helped. Zach is not


you know what happened between the two of them. Before Fernando had a fight


with Hayden, and now Andrew. To date, Hayden has not


told me the reason he punched Fernando the night of that mass. Zach's hatred


fernando became increasingly due to these events.


            “He is innocent. They catch


Hayden, and Fernando react.” Zach is shocked to hear Hayden is arrested.


They haven't spoken much since Zach came to the police station to


replacing Hayden who looked panicked. You could even say that the relationship


they began to distance. Zach on the other hand feels like his one-on-one person


who doesn't know anything, but takes a role in this case. Even if it's not


completely right. There was Jorge who also took sides. Although not clear on the part


which Jorge took. But it's true, Zach doesn't actually have any


a clear relationship. He could have gotten out of this. And let


Clara took care of everything alone. But Zach wants to help his friend, Andrew and


Hayde, as well as Jorge and Clara. For that, he also has to play a role in the case


these.


            “Sials. Why would Hayden


caught?” zach asked confusedly. Andrew shook his head. No


there are people who know, except John and Fernando. Again, get information


both of them sound impossible. Remembering about John,


Zach recalls that a few more hours were Andrew's turn to be interrogated.


“You want good news? You should be ready to be asked what's with your face when


interrogated later.”


            “Only Stupid High School boy fights,”


answer Andrew. “I hate interrogations and ***** its whimpering. I just want this


ends, Zach.” Zach forgets who they are in this case. Teenage.


High School boy, who in a few more months will carry out the national exam. Yang


also will soon be studying for the university entrance test. They're just kids


just past puberty. The boy who should have played and made


high School memories together because soon they will be separated. But no, no, no,


they're now with all the murder cases, with plans to


accusing others they hate so they can all get away from the case


these.


            Zach breathed a sluggish breath. Then


lay down next to Andrew and stared at the ceiling of his room. “I too. I


I will do anything to get this done. We're gonna help Hayden get off, then,


then this will all be finished.”
