That morning was hell for the 12th grade High School student
Elizabeth. That morning a brilliant idea came to visit the principal, and I don't know
how he suddenly conducted a national exam experiment. Actually no
someone cares about the experiment this time. Some even have a stupid time with
the value to be obtained. Zachary Zebua's. He didn't even intend
open the book. He and Andrew were waiting for Hayden at the pool. Indeed
a strange place to wait for someone. Besides being lazy, Zach
couldn't focus on studying before Hayden's answer to Hari.
Andrew
busy flipping the sheets of his book from earlier, and Zach was busy swimming in the pool.
The experiment started at 9pm, and now it's 8. And Hayden hasn't
also come. Zach doesn't like to learn. He is the kind of person who has difficulty focusing
if it is a must. Zach can only learn if he doesn't
has pressure. Now, he has a myriad of pressures, and Zach can only
rely on his brain later to answer all the questions. Zach is a student
smart-ass. That is what people and themselves think. If not, it's not Zach
you can get a scholarship to Elizabeth.
At the
that day, Hayden told Zach that he believed Hari was involved
with this case. Hayden was so convinced because he felt something was off about him
this case. Hayden was sure if they were all lacking one more person to
complete the shortcomings in this case. Andrew, Clara and her self are not
have evidence of having killed Marsella, even though one of them has
killing Marsella would definitely have no one to confess. But even so, all
their reasoning was clearly correct and entered into logic. They all have
motive, and Hayden also admitted it. Their motives are clear, but none of them
really kill. Hayden was convinced that Hari wasn't his killer, but Hari
it might be able to complete the missing point.
Zach
get out of the pool and dry her body. Trial soon
it started and Hayden hasn't come yet. Zach tried calling even
sending messages continuously to Hayden. Andrew doesn't look too
care about missing Hayden again. Zach thought the same thing
repeated to Hayden. He panicked, then calmed down again when he thought
there was no way that Hayden would miss this trial of the national exam.
Situations
elizabeth was very quiet and silent. No voices of people talking at all,
except for the sound of Zach boots when climbing stairs. Many people are still
learn and Zach chooses to climb to the top floor in search of the wind.
Andrew was also very quiet. He was too focused on his book. Zach
it's hard to see people from earlier constantly learning. It makes Zach
feeling guilty for not learning. And more than that, Zach can't
stop thinking about Hayden disappearing. No one knows how to feel
when the last time your friend disappeared he tried to kill himself, and
now he's gone again.
Jorge
see Zach and Andrew in the hallway leading up the stairs. Jorge is closing soon
laptop and put it in a bag. “Zach!” jorge said no
too loud. Zach looked up at the voice, and instructed Jorge to
approaching them. “You didn't learn?” ask Jorge who started opening the book
english Notes. Zach is now feeling really sick. If he could he wanted to
yelling so that the two people beside him could stop reading. “No. I
worried, Jorge disappeared and I really don't want to learn.”
Zach
climb the stairs one by one slowly and then stop. He thought if
it feels better if they go to the dahlia flower garden. Zach then went down
the stairs quickly, followed by Andrew and Jorge without question. Stay
a few more minutes before the experiment and Zach increasingly has no intention of
following her. Even then Zach intends to skip.
Voices
police sirens were closing in on the school. Zach immediately peeked through
window next to the stairs. Not just one car, there are approximately five police cars
it stopped right at the school entrance. Zach swallowed his saliva, and
his palms are sweating. At that time his head was dizzy with the burden
that thought filled the space of his brain to breathe oxygen. Zach
rush down. He jumped the stairs to make it faster.
In his heart Zach kept repeating the sentence so it wasn't about Hayden.
Para
the police entered the 12 IPS examination room on the 1st floor. Zach
immediately follow them from behind and enter the classroom. Coincidentally
the three of them were from that class, so that would be Zach's reason if
he's questioned. The policemen looked at the teacher who was sitting
waiting for the exam to start. The policeman came to the middle of the class and started
look around at everyone in the class. “For all her. Sorry if we
interrupting your time. But this is about the suicide of Marsella Gonzela.
The latest news is that it's not suicide. Marsella was killed, and with respect
we called some names to come with us to the police station. Mara Clara, though,
Hayden Haranta, Zachary Zebua, and Andrew Edden. Then, Fernando Germanotta.
And in addition to Hayden Haranta, your brother is already in the office together
we.”
Zach
shocked after hearing that. He keeps repeating what his involvement is in terms of
this problem. He did nothing like Hayden or Andrew
or Clara. Except, she was the last person Marsella met the other night
that's. It felt like he wanted to run away from class. Go as far as possible
can't be found. Zach glanced at Clara. Clara's face looked pale, though,
but his expression still looked calm not budging. Santriz looked at me immediately
towards Clara who was quiet. Zach is trying to do the same. It
breathe normally, and throw it away normally. Even so, though,
his hands kept shaking. Zach puts both his hands in his pants pocket
so that no one is aware. Even so, Zach's heart still beats very much
firmer. Never been this tight. And somehow, Zach worries if
there are people who can hear his heartbeat. He's become really paranoid.
Andrew looks ordinary. Zach glanced at Andrew, and Andrew
signal to be reasonable and calm. Jorge just kept staring
they both keep going. Jorge, like everyone else, doesn't know
anything at all. There was a feeling of confusion and anger in Jorge. Jorge was a little angry
because it feels like he was not told what happened, but they are
friends.
Wrongfully
a policeman behind Zach was whispering. Then they took out
a piece of paper from the bag they were carrying. The picture from the paper appears
obviously because of the light of the lamp, and his paper is thin. Zach can see it
vaguely. That's their photo collection. One of those cops
then point at them one by one. Clara was the first to stand up
forward to the front. “I think we have the right to a lawyer before we talk
not even, officer?” said Clara Lantang.
“Betul.
But now, you must come with us to the office.” The man who uses the sign
the name identifier as John Alex El then took a step and touched
Zach's shoulders. Zach is shocked and turns to face John. Zach Reaction
really panicked. Jorge calmed Zach down by patting Zach on the shoulder.
“Quiet. You're not alone okay?” said Jorge. “Actually what happened
Zach?”
Zach
shaking his head. “Long, really. I'll explain all of it
when they are not here” Zach said by whisper. Jorge is only
nod in agreement. He can't protest much to want to know if the conditions
it's like this.
No
there was one in the class talking. Among those who are afraid of
the arrival of a number of police or indeed they are surprised at the truth of the case
Marcellas. If they were surprised by just this alone, they would be even more
surprised again later. The case of Marsella is a unique one. Involvements
elizabeth's students are actually just a small part of the whole story.
There is much more hidden. And on this day, this morning, all will be
starting to connect, everything will begin to understand why and why. Today
it is the starting point of how everything can happen.
“How
with our trial exam? We need to learn, how about later
afternoon, after this is all done,” Andrew told officers. Andrew's Voice
calm down and he said it very smoothly. Zach was surprised
with the fact that only Andrew, the person among them could calm down
this thing.
Men
his name was John and he looked back. Towards his colleagues. They
all nod. John had not spoken or even done
anything at all. “Good. We'll be here after what you've done
done that. Thank you.” The policemen then left the classroom. Instantaneously
Zach can breathe a sigh of relief. The oxygen that was stolen by the police
now it's back in Zach's control. Clara approached them immediately. “Clara
warned me and Hayden that this might happen. I've been
preparing her. But I don't know about next.” Jorge later
interjects. He seemed a little frustrated. “What's really going on? Can one
among you tell me?” jorge urged. The teacher who was watching then
start to silence everyone. Zach told Jorge during the break
he'll get his answer later. Meanwhile, they continued
their activities.
30
minutes passed, and Zach could not focus on working. Actually not only
Zach, Clara and Andrew too. Zach keeps doodling his desk with pictures
sketch the eyes constantly. He's really in a bad state. She didn't
he wants to talk, and he doesn't want to do anything. Zach is in a position
where he wished he had never been involved in any of this. He's thinking
with what his father would say. Because for sure, Ferdinand would not
good to hear this. Zach needs support and thousands of kind words now,
but it was not enough to calm her down.
Zach
solve the problem of Bahasa Indonesia within 1 hour after spending 30
minutes of doing nothing. Zach kept glancing towards Andrew and Clara.
They both look like they're seriously working on it. Zach also glanced at
Jorge was also glancing at Zach. Seeing Jorge, Zach became like looking
himself. I used to know nothing and just meant well, all of a sudden
somehow get involved in this fucking problem. Jorge hasn't been involved, yet,
and Zach will do anything to keep Jorge from getting involved. Already too
many people are seen. Zach himself doesn't know how anyone can kill
other fellow humans, especially High School students. If the killer wasn't Hayden, then,
Andrew, and Clara, then Zach thinks Fernando must be. No one can
blame the slander Zach. He's in his worst state, a slander in
his brain that he had not spoken of was a natural thing.
Doorbell
the exam sign ends. Zach immediately collected his answer sheet and
out of class to wait for Andrew, Clara and Jorge to come out. They
all out, with Santriz coming behind them. Santriz looks the same
confused with Jorge. He also wanted to know what happened to them
all the. But Clara didn't want that to happen. It's not that Clara doesn't trust
Santriz. Clara believes in Santriz more than Andrew, Zach and Hayden. But
telling Santriz is the same as making it incorporated accidentally in
this all. And Clara won't let Santriz get dragged away. Clara.
Santriz that he can't know what's going on. That this is information
personal, and that Clara will explain everything later on
aptly. Santriz said yes, and left. But his face showed a disappointed face.
They
four of them went downstairs. They're heading to Elizabeth's pool.
It's a lonely place and probably the safest place to share a murder story. Zach
was the first to yell as soon as Clara closed the pool door.
They had 20 minutes of rest before they continued working
national mathematics exam experiment. And Zach can't help things
except by hysterics. “Say, how can this happen?” zach
that sounds frustrating.
“Kita
know this is gonna happen. We thought it was just the police investigating the murder
just yourself, I swear. We were surprised to find out that this was
homicides. I mean, we're not all sure it's suicide, but we
not sure it is a murder either.” Clara spoke while rendering
his body on the wall. His cold and indifferent expression had already faded. Now, it
looks just as panicked as Zach. The problem is the message sent by
father Clara. The message didn't go off well enough for the police, and Clara
panicked to death if the message was leaked to the police. She can't
stop thinking about what will happen this afternoon.
Andrew
it's pretty quiet by itself. He knows he didn't do anything wrong. Him, just
just involved. He knows he's not a killer, and he believes that three people in the
his front this isn't one of his killers. He's only worried if
his reputation was destroyed once the police began investigating him. About his work
by Ivan Gonzela. It's too important for the police to investigate. Andrew time
it can be calm and seem like indifference. Andrew has already
prepare for today. He's spinning his brains to control
the situation is in their hands.
They
the three of them are not the killers. But the three of them had something
they're at stake if the police start investigating those involved. And that thing
it is important that the three of them. Without them even knowing, they actually
are fighting to make the thing they bet it never was
get away from them and just be theirs.
“So,
you know Marcella Gonzela, don't you, Horhe? He's a new student who moved in. Since he
there are a lot of strange things happening in Elizabeth. I intend to find out
what really happened by approaching her. That afternoon, Marsella and I
road together. Tomorrow she was found suicidal, but now it's not
suicides. It was murder. And we're all, involved in her somehow
how does. But I swear to you we're not her killers. Story
actually longer, about how we got involved. It's not my right to
explain her,” clear Zach. Jorge didn't reply. He looks like he's
processing her one-on-one. About how high school students got involved that far
with case ‘murder’.
Then
Andrew begins to explain his involvement with Marsella. In spite of
actually his involvement was with the Gonzela Family. Andrew is not sure
have to believe in Jorge or not, but if Zach believes in Jorge then
Andrew could too. Andrew told Zach about his problems
so telling Jorge was not too much of a problem for him. “I
working on Marsella's father.” Zach looked at Andrew as he began
story telling. He looked surprised that Andrew wanted to tell a story. “I am a kind of male escort outside ****. I serve
want happen. Without saying anything, I hope you know what I mean, Jorge.
Marsella, she's good. He just wanted to help me by reporting to the police,
but I wasn't ready. It was my life, my story, and my body. When I
trying to stop her, Marsella hanged herself in her room. I didn't
see anyone in his room before that.”
“Pardon
I'm Andrew, I don't know about that..” Jorge said. Andrew shook his head
nya. “How could you also know.”
Clara immediately began to answer the engagement
nya. He knows that what he is going to answer is very sensitive and probably will be
it immediately made Jorge think that he was the killer. But just like
Andrews. Zach's quick trust in Jorge makes Clara as well
trust in Jorge. “You must know my family isn't Jorge? The Mara Family,
the biggest donation of the school. But all is a lie.” What will Clara
tell me far from what he should have told me. Clara is the girl with
a pile of secrets, and on that very day he was disgusted with the secrets that he had
hold on. Too heavy, and needs to be shed.
“Family
Mara is the owner of Elizabeth High School. Donate every year you see
just imaging it so no one knows we're the owners and making the image
my dad's been great. Then there was my dad's best friend. Ivan Gonzela, Marsella's father.
The Mara and Gonzela families quickly became a business alliance. With
Ivan as my father's right hand man. Marsella is Marsella' father's puppet
tear down my father's business with ‘bringing disaster’ to Elizabeth. Disaster
all you see is Marsella, by Ivan's coercion. I'm trying
help Marsella escape from her duties, but of course Marsella does not believe
anyone from the Mara Family, and in fact, he thinks of me as a
entrapment. My father soon found out about this and asked me to kill Marsella. But
I said no, and somehow all this just happened.
Marsella was killed, and Ivan was nowhere to be found. But the culprit wasn't dad
my. I'm sure, because we're both as shocked as this.”
Jorge
speechless. Either he regretted asking or he didn't. But
what is clear is that he really did not guess if this is the information he would get.
All of them, not just Zach, are keeping secrets. Everyone has secrets, though,
and those secrets are really related to this case. Jorge was unconscious
that he had been involved in the case once he found out the truth about everything
his new friends. He really doesn't know what to say. Because it tastes
he really doesn't know them all. The secrets they have
deep and far away. And Jorge, just an ordinary High School student, happens to be involved
so decided to go to the pool following Zach and the others.
“Take
your time Horhe. I was just as surprised when I found out the truth.” Zach check
clock through his hp. There's five minutes left before the bell goes off. Jorge
still craved and didn't know what to say. Especially in a moment's time
maths. Zach immediately retrieves his bag and opens the pool door preparing to
go awayl. Jorge watched Zach go on and thought what Zach would do if
be in his position. Jorge knew that Zach was involved in this case because of him
is the last person Marsella meets and she's on the case for
protecting his friends. At the time, Jorge made a very good decision
believe it if it's the best. For everyone. This is his first time
they have a close friend, and they really believe in themselves. Jorge is not
you can repay them with anything else except supporting them. Jorge believed
they were innocent, like how they could believe Jorge.
“Zach, ,
Andrew, Clara, I'll help you. You will not fight alone.
I'll help you until this is all done well.” Zach shook his head
then I approached Jorge. Zach puts both his hands on Jorge's shoulder. Then
looking at his eyes seriously. “Horge, don't be crazy! We don't know how
it's gonna end. Adding people who will be involved is the real thing
we should avoid.”
“No.
Listen to me Zach. This is the first time I've made a friend that I'm not
just a classmate. Think how can you believe me that way
hurry and tell me all this? You believe in me, and I believe
on you. You can't be the perpetrators, and therefore I have to
helping you. The more people who help, the better.”
Zach
jorge's shoulder gets harder. This time it was like a squeeze. Zach is very
mean it when he means that this is dangerous. He has even been
dizzy himself thought of this. Zach just got to know Jorge, and then dragged him to
this case really isn't something he should do. Zach wants to protect
everybody is. But he did not realize, that he also sometimes needed to
patronized. And at this moment, no one could shake Jorge's resolve.
Jorge
get Zach's hand off his shoulder. He then put his hand on
zach's shoulders and replace his squeezing. With both of his eyes staring intently
zach eye. Now their positions have changed. “No. This time you listen
i'm Zach! This is the first time I will fight for something I
be affectionate. I will not be a normal student who has no one.
You shut up, and I'll take care of you all.” No one's ever heard
Jorge yelled or looked serious about something. He was that student
always look friendly and cheerful. The kind of student who is always good to everyone in the
classs. But this time Jorge looked different.
Andrew
clap ones hands. He smiled, then approached Jorge and Zach who were
argued. Andrew took Jorge's hand off Zach. Then stand on
amidst them. “Jorge correct Zach. We can't face this alone.
Consider it this..” said Andrew.
“Projects
group.” Clara walked towards them all. Zach laughing. Project
group to save themselves from a murder case. Zach is impatient
all parents are fully supportive of this group project.
Zach kept laughing. His taste is amused and crazy. How all this has changed and
it happened so fast. And how the solution they have is not felt to enter
wit. Try saying that Zach at High School will be dealing with the police because of himself
involved in the murder of Zach who was still a student at Junior High School.
Andrew
then laugh. She laughed as she closed her eyes with her hands. Plus
lyrical feeling. Looking at Zach and Andrew, Clara laughed. His face looked sad
as he laughed. The three of them laughed except for Jorge. That laugh should
it's crying. Maybe even a scream of fear. They are afraid of the future
they're. They are afraid of what people will say. And they are afraid too
how their parents will react. Clara and Zach especially.
Their relationship with their parents is not good.
“Good.
Project class,” says Zach. Tears came out of Zach's eyes as he laughed. Him
hastily remove it so that no one is aware. He didn't cry, he just
laughing too much and too loud. Maybe with a little made up
because it felt like they all needed a little laugh that day. The shock they
this morning it still feels today. And honestly, they're confused.
They don't know what to do, and what to do.
Talking to a parent or BK teacher will only complicate the situation.
They don't trust anyone but their friends. That's all that makes
they feel safe in this situation.
They
spent more than five minutes in the pool. The exam should have been
lasted from before. But they had no intention of moving at all
more quickly. Clara, whose people are the most ambitious with high marks as well
no longer care at that time. He chose to spend his time with
her friends. Because it felt with them to be strong.30 minutes passed
they just got up and rushed towards the examination hall. They could
discuss ways to cheat during the exam later in order to score them
goodgood. Clara and Jorge are the main brains on their cheating mission, and
Andrew as a dealer because of his sitting position in the middle.
Talking about this cheating makes them instantly forget
the problem they were thinking about. They laughed and even shouted
because exciting. At least for a moment they could forget.
The police officers were waiting for them at the gate
school. When the math exam was over, they all immediately rushed towards
the gate. Some of them were hoping if the police hadn't come so they
you can go home first. Butno. They have arrived, and now
they have to go to the police station. Andrew enters with Clara in one
the car, and Zach got into another car because it didn't fit. Not on the way
someone talks or tells each other. They shut up and thought about what the plan was
they're next.
At
in front of the police station is Hayden. Zach immediately ran up to Hayden. Zach
he breathed a sigh of relief because of his assumption that Hayden had done something
stupid is not right. Hayden was safe, unharmed and also at the police station.
Looking at Hayden's gaze, Zach knew what had happened. Hayden was also in
here's. “You were also called? Hayden, I really freaked out when you weren't around. I
thought you were doing it again” said Zach who looked very panicked.
Hayden
shaking his head. “Yes and not actual. My brother was taken by the police.
Day's involved, and God I don't know how Zach should be. But thank you
for your anxiety. I need her.” Zach hugged Hayen who was
speak. His voice sounded fragile. Like crying, but not
crying out. I don't know why everything on this day seems bad and annoying.
“Hey, sorry I wasn't there Hayden,” reply Zach. Hayden shook
his head again, but this time it's firmer. Then he patted his shoulders
Zach. “Stupid, you're not here. Calm down, I'm fine.”
They
four of them entered the police station. John was waiting there
them. His face looks unhappy. In front of him was a table
tray above her. In the tray there are all the photos in the map. Day just now
get out of the room that looks like an interrogation room. He then stood on
beside Hayden. Fernando appeared in the back. He was panting when he arrived.
Fernando just ran from school to the police station. Zach, Andrew and
Clara also just realized that they should have gone here with Fernando,
but Fernando didn't come with them. “Sorry, I have business with the teacher
BK.” Fernando stood right behind Hayden.
John
start talking when all the suspects are gathered. “So far we've been
find one very important proof.” John opened the map and
take some paper. The paper contained a picture of father's conversation
Clara with Clara. Clara just kept quiet to see that. “Clara Mara, can you explain
what did your father mean to kill Marsella, and you threatened your father
to kill a man named Brook?” ask Johanes.
“Sorry
if the impression is I sassy Clara. But we're really late. Advancement
this case is slow. If you think this is the first day
investigation, then you're wrong. Investigations have been ongoing since Marsella was discovered
hang yourself, and the progress we get is very small. We beg for cooperation
new.” John re-inserted the picture
which he held onto the map. He looks exhausted. Her eye bags are visible
black and her eyes red. Maybe more accurately, the whole police force is here
looks very tired. John took one cigarette from his pocket
and burn it. He always faces backwards when he is going to throw smoke
cigarette. Actually not very useful as well, because the smoke will also remain
inhaled everyone. But Zach still considers John's actions as
at least-he-trying.
“Interrogation
you'll start in two days. So don't go traveling
everywhere. Take care of your health, and I don't know what else. I really
bad at giving a moral message. You are officially the prime suspects in
this case.” John then went outside and left them. No one wants to
commenting at all. Day and Hayden were the first to leave
that room. Followed by Zach and the others. Outside John is sucking
the cigarette. Day also lit a cigarette and sucked her next to John.
John looked back and realized that everything was behind him. Him
just put out his cigarette, again.
“Then
outside, you're not a cop, are you?” tanya Day's. John brought out
cigarette her from her mouth and smile. “Call me John outside.
Just act normal if we are outside like this.”
Raining
start to come down slowly. Drizzling. Fernando glanced at Hayden who was
smile with Hari and the others feel mixed. Between sad and
blissfully. He was happy that Hayden was happy too. Fernando then pulled the hood
his jacket and go from there through the drizzle. Distance from home with office
little away. Hayden knew it, but Hayden didn't catch up with Fernando. Day saw
a sad expression on his sister's face. “Subsequent to him. Wait what are you doing?” ask her.
But Hayden didn't know what to do. Because after the fight it was all
it became awkward and none of them started talking.
An
the white car stopped in front of the police station. Glass car last
downgraded. Even when the windshield was lowered, no one knew who it was. At
in the car must be very dark, also because the person in it is using
black shirt. Clara immediately walked forward. “I've been picked up. Then I
go home first. Beware all.” Clara then got into the car. That car glass
totally black. Until Clara is invisible. The car then left.
“Good.
We are the only ones left who don't have a car. Come home,” says Hari. Him
dropped his cigarette on the floor, stomped on her, then took her again and
dump him in the trash. Days out of the roof and rain soaked the body
nya. “Wait for what else?” ask when no one is following her. Hayden, by,
Zach, and Andrew then get off the roof. They went home with Hari.
Moments
it felt cold. Hayden kept pulling his hair back. Visioning
it was really bad when it rained. That's one of the reasons why it
I don't like to go out of the house when it rains. Throughout the journey, many people
you are in the shade of a tree or someone is driving very fast
so that they splashed their clothes. I don't know why they walk
slow and relaxed at that time. Especially Zach. He was afraid to go home. She knows
that his father would be furious if he found out. Or not he was excited
a very annoying scream. He was afraid, because of the words of his father
sometimes just coming out of her mouth makes her sad and her heart
wounded. No one is aware that Zach is sad and scared. Her face is wet
by the water and Zach kept wiping his face. At that time, maybe
it's the saddest, saddest, worst day they've ever had.
What they're dealing with now isn't too bad, rather than what it will be
they will face it at home.
