Hustle and bustle of the crowd began to reverberate in the Horizon High School. Many guests come from outside who want to participate in the charity event held by the school. Once a year, the school will hold a charity event.
However, they had a veiled intention in holding the event. Trying to plant a positive stigma so that the school becomes the trust of many parties. Behind that perspective planting, they will brainwash – people who come.
Behind the door in a secret room, there was Mr. Badir who was ready with his plan. He gave instructions to his subordinates so that the plan goes according to his expectations.
“Make sure no chaos will happen”, said Mr. Badir who was sitting on the throne while staring into the morning sky through the window slit.
“Good, Bos”, says all his subordinates.
“Tikus – those little mice will definitely start to show themselves. Don't let your guard down and tighten the shadow security so they don't realize” said Mr. Badir while tapping the table using his – fingers.
“Do it, Bos”, say them back while slightly bending their bodies.
The corner of Mr. Badir's lips was attracted to form an evil grin that made people who saw him shudder in horror. The look of hateful eyes was very noticeable in both of his eyeballs. His hands clenched as the memories of the dozen-year-old incident re-entered his mind.
Little girl, I'm sure you're at this school. But why is it so hard to find you. Yira, even that girl is also hard to find.
Rauf, has he found the little girl yet? No problem, I'm sure soon the girl will show her fangs.
Victor knows for sure what the eyes look like from his boss. He also began to open his voice.
“As for the girl named Yira, I've deployed everyone – of our people to look for her. However, he seems to disappear swallowed by the earth, Bos”, said Victor as his right hand.
The middle-aged man just kept quiet by still tapping the table with his – fingers.
“And when the opening of the festival last, there was someone who came and stood quite far from the school hall with a face covered by a mask. Then, there is a girl who wants to approach the person, but the person has already left”, continued Victor who made the man turn to him.
“After this event is over, call the girl you mean. And as for Yira, just let her go. Because of course, he will come by himself”, said Mr. Badir in a cold tone.
“Good, Bos”, replied Victor who understood what his boss meant. The girl named Yira will certainly return for the justice of her parents.
Even if I can't get information about the little girl through Yira, I can at least use Rauf, since they're both connected.

The tense atmosphere was not only felt by Mr. Badir's men, but also a girl who was being dragged by a man – men to a warehouse that was not used anymore. The girl just kept quiet without any intention of breaking away. However, the look in his eyes implied a deep hatred.
Bugh
The girl was pushed hard enough that her forehead was bumped by the wall. He just grimaced wiping his forehead. The look of his face was so cold as if he wanted to draw out the heart of the person who had pushed him earlier.
“What do you really want, Naya?”, snapped a – male male while clutching the girl's chin.
Naya looked back at the – men in front of her with a look of hatred and disappointment. Immediately he brushed off the hand of the man – roughly.
“You asked me what I wanted? Why are you asking me what now, Ray?”, said Naya cynically.
“Stop bragging, Nay. This past week, you deliberately avoided me so that I would not interrogate you about the attack while hiking in progress”, said Ray who had lowered his tone.
“Did that man tell you to do that heinous act? Why have you changed, Nay?, Ray asked while looking at Naya.
Ray's jaw hardened and his hands clenched firmly trying to neutralize the anger that had already taken hold of him.
“Why silent, Ray?”,
“Can't you, you stop making trouble? Ignore the man's orders, you don't have to obey him, Nay”, Ray said, raising his voice.
Naya stared coldly at Ray while holding the clear circle that wanted to greet him.
“Is it because of the girl?”, Naya asked in such a soft tone.
“I just don't want anything bad to happen to you. After all, you are an important person in my life”, Ray said as he stared at the tears that fell from Naya's eyes.
His heart ached when he saw Naya crying because of him. However, the situation was so unfair to him right now.
“How important am I in your life, Ray? How important? In fact, you don't know why I did all that. You don't know, Ray”, Naya's voice quivered as she said that sentence.
His heart ached with an increasingly gaping wound. His body slumped to the floor with helplessness. He began to sob that sounded so poignant.
“You don't care about me at all, Ray. You only care about that girl named Sara. The little girl that many people were looking for”, after saying such a thing, Naya immediately got up and was about to leave the warehouse.
But just a few steps, Ray again made a sound.
“Because you never opened with me, Nay. I once asked you to be on my side, but you chose to go against the tide. Your words are right, I did it because of Sara. So, do not think to kill him again, because I will protect him”, said Ray who first left Naya.
When he reached the door, Ray turned his head back to Naya who immediately turned his face. Ray knew that Naya was so angry and disappointed with him.
“I ask, lest the man know that Sara is the girl he is looking for. If he knows, then you are the first person I will look for”, Ray said as he stared at the painstaking Naya.
It's hard for me, Nay. But, I don't want the man to act to far. I'm sure there's another fact hidden behind the incident a dozen years ago.
And the girl is the key to the mystery. And also the key to the spread of rumors is not true about the incident, if the girl was successfully obliterated.
Sorry, Nay. I haven't been able to protect and take care of you as I promised. Please Nay, come back to my side and stay away from the man.
After that, Ray was right – went to leave Naya with thousands of arrows that had slammed into a Naya. Staring at the nanar men – men that he hoped could be wings to shelter himself.
The haughty girl who had always been looking for trouble with me, now looked so fragile. He who always dominates is just a wasted figure. He came back crying while suppressing the increasingly urgent feeling of tightness.
Ray, I never wanted any of this. Never once was I stifled to take the lives of others.
The first day I met Sara in the dorm, I never thought I would go that far. I meant to bully, for it was a pleasure to forget the burden I carried.
But, that girl is so tough and I started to hate her when you defended her more, Ray. That's what made me want to eliminate him.
Did you know that I also need your protection, Ray?
Soon Naya wiped away the increasingly rushing tears. As much as possible, he suppressed the pain that plagued his heart. His hands clenched tightly to flow the pain that rested on him.
