Black Dahlia

DAHLIA FLOWER #2, MARSELLA GONZELA (PART TWO)

Who would have thought that morning should be a bright morning

for sleepiness turns into a dark morning for mourning. Marcella Gonzela

found suicide in his room. Everyone is surprised. No one knows

why, and no one knows who Marsella's friends are at school. There's no one

tau should express concern to whom. A girl with hair

straight as the boat leaned against the wall. To turn everyone on the field

keep talking about Marsella. He was not sad, nor confused, nor disappointed

angrier. Clara Mara didn't know what she was feeling at the time.

When a person is abandoned by the person he

unfortunately, there are some stages to go through that are left behind. First stage

it's denial. And that was what Clara felt right now. Denial

marsella no longer exists in the world. Clara is really just

want reply. But that all sounds impossible. He's just a kid, he's just a kid,

how can he repay the deeds of someone more powerful and

frightful? Clara blames herself, but she is also scared. Afraid to

admitting that he had a role in killing Marsella.

On the other hand, Zach just came to school together

with Andrew. Zach seems not to care about his many people who

gather in the field. The first lesson should have sounded

a few minutes ago. From Andrew's house, Zach has been preparing

her apology to Marsella for her tacky act last night. Zach

sure if this will be the last time he has to talk to Marsella.

Because after this, Zach wants to investigate all of her without involving Marsella,

or have contact with Marsella.

Hayden stood up and leaned beside Clara. They

the two look at each other. Sharing sadness, and confusion, and

terrified. Clara is a smart and charming girl. He really isn't

looks sad. He looked normal, like nothing happened today. Tones

her speech too, was normal, gentle, and indifferent. Hayden tried to talk to

Clara, but somehow her throat won't obey Hayden.

“Is this all really fair, Hayden?” said Clara who

still leaning against the wall. Hayden understood what Clara meant. But

it was hard for Hayden to speak. Three people with the greatest impact

against Marsella's death, are the two of them, with someone else from

zach Classes. “We have to do something..” Clara looked Hayden in the eye.

It shows rejection. Clara's heart was pounding, and she felt ashamed

to himself. What reflex did he just do? “Hayden, if

we're doing something about this, not just you and me

fall, and not only he will fall. But, all. Families

me and the Gonzela Family.”

Whether it's a threat or not. But clearly, Hayden

nor will they act alone. From morning he was trembling. Even

hayden actually did not intend to go to school. But he's afraid his absence will

become suspicious. Hayden kept his hands hidden behind his pockets

her pants. That was because at this moment both of his hands continued to tremble. And also feels

cold to the touch. From the outside, Hayden and Clara looked the same. They

looks ordinary, even too ordinary for this shit day. But

inside, they were completely crushed.

“Hayden!” zach shouted from the main hallway of the school. Zach

waving his hands so Hayden could see. Hayden knows that Zach

I don't know about all this. It only takes a few words to change a smile

on Zach's face became the same as all the students in the school today. And for

whatever, Hayden was unwilling to do that, but there was no way to avoid it

this sad news.

“How are you doing Zach?” ask Hayden. You know

the moment when someone is afraid to talk about something, so that people

is it stalling with meaningless conversations?

Yep, that's what Hayden did.

“Pretty good and pretty sleepy. You you? By the way

what's going on today? Study tours?

A persami? Or?” Zach continued to look Hayden in the eye while waiting for his answer. Ohhh,

Zach if he knew what he was going to hear. The smile will never appear

to day.

“You should know something. Marsella was found to have committed suicide

in his room today, Zach, if you need a friend to talk to, I'm in

here, you know?” answer Hayden

Zach did not react at first. Until finally he

look around. A lot of people are talking, some look sad,

some looked in disbelief, shaking their heads.

Instantly for Zach, all the sounds around him faded away. His heart is not

it was pounding, and he was neither sweating, nor trembling. But it feels for

breathing is heavy. Zach really feels like he's going to explode any minute.

Everything he planned today changed completely, or arguably Zach who

marsella will completely avoid Marsella. I don't know

everything is now suddenly going around in circles for Zach. There is no feeling

just right to describe his feelings now. Zach himself doesn't know what

which he now feels. It was just last night that they were together, and everything changed

very fast tomorrow morning.

“Stat! We just talked together yesterday...

wh why? Dog!,” shouted Zach full of anger. Hayden hugged Zach. Endeavored

calm the heart of his friend. Clara still did not move from her position. It

just looking and also wondering, who was that irritated-looking man?. At

on the other hand, Andrew also hugged Zach. Zach wasn't crying. It's just confusing, though,

how will all of this change and happen so quickly. Even

if Zach has the power to turn back time, to be able to pass the time

with Marsella again. Zach will reject her.

“Is he depressed?” ask Zach slowly

to Hayden. I don't know why that question was asked to Hayden. Hayden doesn't know

what to answer. If you can say, everyone knows the cause of death

Marcellas. Only Zach doesn't know, and only Zach isn't part of it

them.

“Entah Zach, but Marsella did not tell

anything to anyone. Our BK teacher was even shocked when he found out about

this.” That sentence means nothing to Zach right now. He asked only

just to calm himself. Zach kept on pulling and breathing out

with regular. He is now half calm. Even so, it still feels like

weird and pathetic. What's in Zach's brain right now is to

change their priorities. From finding out the root of the school's mystery, to

what causes Marsella suicide.

Zach hugged Hayden and Andrew. “Hey, thank you.

I'm calm now.” Hayden and Andrew hugged Zach back with time

which is long enough. They know one, if Zach has calmed down, but he doesn't

her heart. Zach is a man with a rebellious soul. After this he must have

will plan something.

School closed. All the students went home

after the bereavement notice from the principal and teacher of BK. It's been days

Zach didn't come home. He knew when he came home he'd get that scolding

very long and will be very annoying. The situation is not

support for her father's unimportant nagging. Zach is on his own foot. It

asked not to be harassed by Andrew or Hayden. He put in his earphones and started playing music.

A playlist of songs that are specific to the feeling of wanting to be alone. Audible

it's a cliche, but the playlist of the song goes a long way to treat

feeling like this.

Zach lives in an apartment with rooms on the floor

topmost. He actually lived alone for a long time. But

since his mother died, Zach's father decided to stay with Zach. Paternity

Zach really isn't the one to talk to. Zach's father is very

annoying, inconsiderate, and also does not support any of Zach's choices.

Always blame Zach if something happens against his will

them both. Sure, this makes Zach sometimes upset or depressed, but

there's no choice for Zach. Zach's father will be Zach's father no matter what

which happens.

“ASTAGA! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU GOING!? CRAZY YEAH, I'M WAITING

MU FROM YESTERDAY!” Zach just came in and a huge scream came from

living room. Really, Zach is not in the mood for a debate, even so

it was his daily job with his dad. Maybe one more snaps

to get Zach out of control. Zach is desperate to fix father's clash

nya. Because the truth is a few days ago, not yesterday.

Zach walked into his room without saying anything

even to his father. He put his bag on the floor and immediately dropped himself

her up in bed. She stuck her face in the pillow. I want to sleep but

don't want to waste time sleeping. Her father kept shouting from outside

zach Room. Zach's father, Ferdinand Zebua kept shouting about bad things

about Zach, thinking that maybe Zach didn't hear what he had in mind

nya. Zach heard it very clearly. Very clear to the point

it felt like Zach wanted to turn around screaming from inside his room. Zach never did

I wish I had a good father. He only wished that his father could

understand himself. Especially on this day. Zach is in need of some alone time

quiet, but her father completely changed the silence Zach wanted

it becomes a very loud noise.

Ferdinand was an overly religious man. Overly

religious to the point that he put aside Zach's needs. When Zach is sick,

ferdinand should have taken him to the hospital, but Ferdinand instead just

pray and tell Zach to continue and continue praying. Ferdinand's Religious

also annoying. Everything that Zach considered normal and normal for

today's teenager, Ferdinand considered something sinful, no

good, and should be shunned. That caused Zach not to take it too much

Ferdinand was more than his status as a father. They're not close, in fact

it feels so foreign. Only talk when needed, and never

discussing little things, like father and son. And to this Ferdinand

is normal. He thinks this is how his son is. That Zach is

not avoiding it, but indeed the nature of Zach is like that.

Hp Zach ringing. Zach silenced her. Then it rings

again. It was an e-mail from the school, about the mass that was going to be held the night

these. Zach's attention was focused on the email. The location of the Mass is at

schoolyard. Without a second thought, Zach immediately contacted Andrew and Hayden

in one call. Zach wants to attend and Zach wants them both to

be present. Zach thinks, if possible this is the first step to knowing

cause of Marsella's death.

“You have received the email?” ask Zach who is moving around to find appropriate clothes for mass.

“Already, you want to go?” answer and ask Andrew who looks to be using his green tea mask.

“I'll go, you guys?” answer Hayden who was seen in the shower.

“Good. Let's meet at school. You should come

Andrew.” Zach turned off his phone. He chose a black fitting shirt

short sleeves with a rope that rolls around his neck. Bretel

which is also black. Zach leaves as soon as he finishes the shower. Zach's gone

through an emergency staircase connected to her room. Zach does it often

it was when he was unwilling to meet and talk to Ferdinand.

Ferdinand then complained about the emergency stairs and asked

apartment parties to immediately eliminate her.

Afternoon should not be the time for school lights

to ignite. What else is lit in such dimly lit conditions.

The school is crowded. All the disciples were present for Marsella Mass, and all of them

they wear black from head to toe. Child of class

Marsella each carried a red rose and their class president brought along

figura with a photo of Marsella inside her. Zach himself tried to find

Andrew and Hayden. And also find out where the two parents Marsella.

Because the adults that Zach can see are just teachers, workers, and

Andrew and Hayden walked over

Zach. Hayden held onto a piece of paper that he held with his index finger and

her middle. “They found this in Marsella's room. Your clothes and that paper

addressed to you.” Zach took the paper. He immediately opened the fold

her and her reading are now in front of Andrew and Hayden. His heart is pounding

because I was very curious what it was.

I'm sorry, Zachary. This letter should not

ever was. But I feel like this is all unfair. Life is a jerk

and it's not fair. But and but again, at least I want what I can choose

change something.

One request after my death. Watch Clara Mara. Him

it's your connection to my death, Zachary. Don't tell me what the letter is about

this is to anyone. Whoever your friends are, don't trust them, trust yourself

you're just for now.

Sorry for getting you involved in this. But Zachary, it's,

the matter is much deeper than you think. It's not just a kill

a Rich High School Girl. This is a revolution, and indeed, suicide

a rich girl High School.

Thank you, Zachary, I owe you.

Marcella Gonzela

Zach doesn't know what to do now. It

confused about what he just read. It felt like he had just been involved

in one case and a great drama. But Zach knew exactly what Marsella meant

not to inform anyone of this letter. Zach followed right away

marsella's orders, before she even knew what Marsella really meant.

Zach swallowed his saliva, and from this moment on he committed. To find the roots

behind all this.

“What's the contents of the letter?” ask Andrew. Hayden folded

his hands in front of his chest. It was like waiting for Zach to answer. Zach is not a person

who can lie. Ever since Junior High, he's turned into a real person

to be honest, and only Ferdinand was he always lying. Lying to Andrew and

Hayden is an easy thing to do, but a bad time to do.

“Letter about my shirt. He said not to worry.” Zach spoke while

look into Andrew and Hayden's eyes. Zach doesn't like to lie, but once

his he lied, he was a great perf.

The three of them walked towards the school hall. Over there

all the lights are out. Only candles are lit. All seats in

the hall is full. So Zach, Andrew, and Hayden stood up and followed

mass from outside the hall. Zach chose not to think about the letter

now it's. And just focus on the Mass. Right before it can really start, though,

the principal announces that Marsella's parents are not attending tonight,

and there's no Marsella family for mass tonight. Now after killing

marsella's self, her absenteeism from both of her parents became a talk among

school.

“We just go straight to the core. My name is Zachary Zebua. I'm here to testify about

marsella's suicide. It wasn't suicide, it was murder

done by Fernando Germanotta.” Zach looked at the officers eyes with

sharp and strong. The officer needs a few seconds before being able to answer the statement

Zach. Usually, when people lie, the person cannot look them in the eye

his interlocutor. The officer knew that, he had dealt with repeatedly

people like that. But Zach is different. His look was honest.

“On what basis? If you have proof, please show us.” The officer folded his hand

at table. All the suspects he's been interrogating have their ways

alone to cover up the facts. And if this continues until

the last suspect, then Fernando Germanotta will be determined as the perpetrator.

Zach has no evidence pointing to Fernando. ‘Bukti’ they prepared is not ready yet.

The key to their success is this interrogation. How strong

they can convince the officers. The more they managed to make the officers convinced,

the longer it takes Clara to change something she has

being butki to plunge Fernando.

“If you can let's move on to the next question. What really happened that night

Zachary?”Zachary looked at the officer with a smile. A truly visible smile

sucks. Because Zach felt bad about the question. Isn't that

is everything clear? What happened that night should have been solid evidence

to take down Fernando. What happened that night should have been

very clear.

“Explosion, what happens is explosion.”

Mass finished. Some people still live in

school for dinner together. The lights are still bright, and

that night was cold. Zach sat on a chair attached to a wall

in the corner of the school. His eyes focused on the hall. There are a lot of empty seats

actually if Zach wants to come. But right now, he was not eating

with his other students. She wants to go home and read her letter, but she does too

do not want to be separated from this crowd.

Fernando's out of the hall. His mouth is still

munching. He seemed to be in a hurry to the toilet. Zach

focused on Fernando, because behind him there is Hayden who runs towards

towards Fernando with a fist like he wanted to punch. Followed by Andrew

and Clara who also ran tried to hold Hayden from behind. Zach soon

running to stop Hayden, though Zach doesn't know what happened.

One fist flew over Fernando's cheek. Rice and

the side dish that was still being chewed in his mouth instantly crashed out. Fernando

looks a little dazed. Trying to digest what just happened

against her self. Hayden clenched his hand again. This time Hayden wanted to

throw his second fist. Zach immediately arrested Hayden. Clara and Andrew

help Zach by pulling Hayden back.

“Stat! Where is your responsibility Fernando!!!?” A lot

the one who was directly fixed on them at that moment. Teachers and direct romos

get out of the hall to see what happened back then. Fernando the moment

it just regained its consciousness directly running towards Hayden to retaliate

her fist. Zach swiftly restrained his body for Hayden. Fists drift to

zach and Zach's right hand holds him back, but Fernando is the one

the martial arts master. Fernando hit back to Zach's left. Zach

fall over.

Andrew was hooked as soon as he saw his best friend get punched

Fernando's. Andrew removes Hayden's body and leaves Clara alone to

restraining Hayden from interfering again. Andrew ran towards Fernando and

punch him once, twice, and three times. But not enough to make

Fernando's down. Fernando was still standing in his horses. Both of his hands

being in front of preparing to hit again. And fresh blood flowed from

fernando's forehead, nose, and mouth.

Clara took Hayden's body off, so Hayden could help

Zach stood up again. Zach's head feels very dizzy. Around it feels

go around in circles and he really wants to sleep now. Clara moved to the side

Hayden's. Now four against one. Many teachers immediately came forward to separate

they're. Now, those teachers look like a bunch of clowns. They

it's too late, because the fight is over even before them

come to separate.

The four of them immediately went out of school.

They were sitting at a bus stop where no one was there except them

foursome. Zach stroked his cheeks that looked blue. Clara then left

to the small stall behind the stop, and back with the ice he put on the broom

his hands and a bottle of soda. Clara patted Zach on the cheek with a handkerchief

nya. Zach winks his eyes many times when his skin is blue

contact with ice.

Hayden let out a long sigh and threw her away. It

ruffling her hair. And puffed his head up . Nonexistent

of those who want to talk. Especially Zach. He doesn't want to know what

happened for a while. Too much happened that night, and all

moving too fast. Too little time Zach has, before

the night's over.

Clara opened the soda bottle she had bought. He drank

just a little, then give it to Zach. Then keep moving until it gets in your hands

Andrew and finished. If a few days ago Zach didn't meet Hayden

maybe tonight there'll only be Zach and Andrew. Then if Zach doesn't meet

with Marsella that night, there probably won't be any Clara here. I don't know

how, the four of them could be united because of this matter. Tonight, this,

the four of them did not feel like strangers. They feel like they should

take care of each other. If one of them falls, then all of them

will pull that person away so that no one falls. So, the story of the year begins

new Teaching at Elizabeth High School. Starting today and as bright as it is, their lives

the four of them would be far from normal.

“Zachary, why do you think Fernando Germanotta can do that?” ask the officer who is

insist on getting an answer from Zach. Zach himself was intrigued, and

I hope the officer can ask more questions. More and more

Zach replied, maybe all this will be finished sooner as well.

“Are you guys kidding? All the questions you asked from earlier were clear answers

nya. Fernando did so, because Marsella intended to report Fernando.

That Fernando raped Marsella.” The third answer the officer received, and

the three answers from three different people were the same.

The officer took his hp. He was silent for a moment. Like if he was going to make a decision

critical to the present situation. He hesitated to press the button

telephones. He then pressed the phone button, and brought the phone closer to the ear

nya. A few moments later he spoke. “Bring Fernando Germanotta to

here now. Move Andrew Edden's interrogation schedule and change it to

Fernando Germanotta.”

“Our interrogation is not finished. I'll call you back when I need more answers. In order to

now go home first and rest. It was a tough week for

we all.” Zach then went to open the door and thanked him and

good nights. Zach picked up his red canvas jacket from the stand hanger at the

police station. Zach opened his umbrella. That night drizzle. Aseline City is not

sleep too. Many lights from cars and motorcycles hit the side of the road

Zach.

Zach's not walking home. He was heading to a coffee shop near the office

trooper. Andrew and Hayden and Clara were waiting for Zach there. And over there

they will discuss their plans. The rain that was back

drizzle turned into a torrent. Zach's heart from earlier, since

leaving the police station was very fiery. He wanted justice for

Marsella, but she also doesn't want her friends to fall. Take off

the decision to cover up the real events really sickens Zach

against her self. He feels involved in this series of manipulations, when

actuallyno. Zach is the only one of them who doesn't know

ask about what happened. Until a few days ago. Zach is successful

put together all the skeletons that happened. Zach knows what's really going on, though,

that his friends were seen. And if Zach chooses to pursue justice

for the sake of the girl he didn't even know, then all his friends would fall

being perpetrator.

This unilateral election is a tough one for Zach. Gnawing at Zach's inner. And that's why, Zach

I will do anything to get this case over with. And his friends

can be safe from criminal threats.

Zach until. TeheH Coffee Shop. Andrew, Hayden, and Clara are seen sitting in the

pofah. There were no coffee cups on their table. And Hayden waved

he went to Zach to tell him to come in. Again, they gathered four, and,

but in really chaotic conditions and atmosphere.
