Black Room

A friend who was arrested

One thing that is certain of the future is the story of the past that will be remembered by incarnating longing.

****

A boisterous atmosphere greeted the school bell that had rung. All students leave their classes to go home. Only the first and second classes were allowed to go home. Third-graders must take additional lessons before facing the computer-based national exam.

Me and my three best friends walked to where our bikes were parked. Kantin tek rida as usual was closed after the prayer. We left the school to buy rice. Aldi and ijep are on my bike, and I'm on nando.

We bought packaged rice in a blessed ampera near the binjai junction. Ampera looks crowded by visitors. Aldi said in addition to the affordable price, the food here is also very good. Nando ordered three rice packs. We're waiting at the ampera. The Sumatran causeway is very crowded this afternoon. Private cars and container trucks raced with schoolchildren who had just returned home.

Aldi called out to the karin that passed in front of us. Karin stopped in front of an empty shop across the street. Aldi and approached his girlfriend. Ijep followed aldi from behind. I took my BB out of my pants pocket. One message from mutia I haven't read.

Mutia Heriyenti's.

"Good morning monday, Goblin 😘 . If it's hot in there, don't be hot. If it rains, do not rain 😂 The spirit of the school. Don't forget to eat. And don't stop at school"

I smiled after reading mutia's message. He called me goblin as a call darling. I call him a tangerbell. Goblin and tangerbell are the main roles in a Korean drama that is well-liked by mutia.

The Alendra

"Good afternoon windowbell 😘 How is your college? Hopefully good. The spirit of his research proposal. Don't forget to eat to be sick" I replied.

Aldi and Ijep are seen laughing across the street. I don't know what they're talking about. Karin started driving her bike home. Aldi and ijep joked before crossing. Nando also completed his task by carrying two plastic bags.

"It's your turn to take it" said Nando giving the plastic bag to ijep.

"Yes this is the behavior of friends if we are under" Sahut ijep with pity. The three of us got together to buy two rice packs. Ijep only contributed two thousand.

"Emang you ever been on a jep?" Aldi chimed in the words of ijep

We laughed on the bike.

"Here is the low cave"

Our bike drove back to school. Once at school we chose the old room as a place to eat. The old room became the headquarters for us to spend our rest time smoking there. Three rice packs we stretch into one. Then we started eating at the same time.

Laughter and jokes that adorned our lunch. Later this togetherness will be a memory after graduation later. We may part ways with the path we have chosen. Nando and ijep will try their luck by following the police and army selection. Aldi plans to go to college. I want to go far across the ocean. Perhaps, this togetherness will incarnate longing someday.

We smoked after we finished eating. There is still half an hour left before afternoon school starts. My three best friends talked about computer-based national exams. This is the first time a national exam has been conducted on a computer. In the generation before we still use the writing exam. My school will pass the exam at SMK 5 because the computer at school is still lacking. I listened to their chat on the porch reading a message from mutia.

Mutia Heriyenti's

"I've eaten goblins. Have you stepped back? My research proposal I've given to the supervising lecturer. Hopefully it can be acc quickly" Mutia's message.

The Alendra

"I'm also just ready to eat. I started studying this afternoon. In a minute. Thank goodness your proposal was already in place. Hopefully soon in acc. Amen" Reply.

Cigarette smoke filled the old room covered with leaves from a large tree in the middle of the room. We will follow the simulation before UNBK. UNBK will be divided into three groups with three different ships. Aldi told me about the information he got from buk yarnis. My blackberry is ringing.

Mutia Heriyenti's.

"Aamiinu. O yes, I want to go to the transmart with princess and nuna. Her daughter's boyfriend is coming too. You're sorenya school spirit"

The sound of a motor sounds in the ear. The motorbike was heard entering the school grounds with a noise that was getting closer. My three best friends asked each other who the bike was. I didn't care about the furore and was busy typing to reply to mutia's message

"Sir, he's looking at you" said aldi, who overheard a conversation beside the class.

"Yes?" I was curious to walk out of the old room. Who's looking for me?

"Have you gone home, Doris?" Ask someone whose voice I recognize. Sandro. What's he looking for me.

"Sandro" Call me.

Sandro turned. He smiled at me beside the computer lab. Sandro got off his bike and walked up to me. I invited him to sit in the old room. Sandro sat down with three cigarettes out of his camera pocket. All three of my best friends knew Sandro. But they are only familiar.

"This is where you spend your break time?" Ask sandro.

I'm nodding. "It's cold. What's looking for me?"

"I have news I want to tell you. It's dori"

"Why dori?" I burned cigarettes.

"He was arrested by the police"

"Hah" I was shocked and couldn't believe what Sandro said. "When? Where's?"

"Yesternight"

"Where does he go now?"

"Dipolsec. You didn't call him, did you?" Sandro tanyo.

"Yes, last new year's night I called him to ask him to please get me some marijuana" I replied.

Sandro burned his cigarette. I started to get nervous about what happened to dori. All three of my friends just kept quiet and listened to our conversation. I once told dori to be careful with passien who could play a role in helping the police. And now it's happening.

"Who's got it?"

"No. He wasn't caught on a drug case"

"Then?" My forehead is up

"He was caught with a case of the theft of iron rails kareta. There's just an igo message that makes dori have a problem with drugs"

"Look?" I'm getting curious. Igo is a human in the dark who also attended school at MAM tanjung ampalu.

"Yes, her HP dori was seized by the police. And inside is a message from igo. Dori why the goods have not arrived. The message was a question for the police. What stuff is meant? Then dori replied that igo only sent clothes. But the police will easily believe what dori said. And I'm here to ask for help. Not really me. But dori asked for help. You know igo's house. So accompany me to meet him. Igo must escape before the problem of dori kellar"

I'm very worried. Not that I don't want to help. But the timing is not right. "I'm afternoon school"

"Ah, just this day you don't go to afternoon school. It's only the first day, right?" Sandro.

"It is precisely because of the first day that I have to enter ndro" said I.

"Show craving you are now. You've changed the flow?" Said Sandro laughing. My three friends laughed too. I just kept quiet with a worried feeling.

"Relove, brother. Dori will probably be locked up for only a few weeks because of the theft. He could have been saved because he was a schoolboy. But that's not the case if he's caught in a drug case. And igo, might be the next police target to prove dori's guilt" Sandro said.

"Why don't you just try calling her?"

"The number is inactive. He also did not attend school. But his village first friend said he was still in the village"

I just kept quiet with all the worries. I really hate meddling in stuff like this. I'm most afraid of dealing with the police. No more fighting if caught by the police.

"Only you can help dori"

I looked at Sandro. His face was very clear even though that was not the case at all. I finally followed Sandro's request. There's no harm in me sacrificing afternoon school and facing fear for a friend. I asked Nando to get me a bag in class. Aldi and ijep break into the local with nando. Sandro and I went to the igo house which was in the durian gadang.
