Gabril - Crown Or Arena
Steps in the dark
Eyelids slowly opened, their eyebrows raised slightly as a sharp darkness pierced straight inside. The girl did not know where she was.
Although his consciousness was slowly returning, yet the gaze of his eyes still could not catch anything, not even his own body. A faint groan sounded from the dark room without any illumination.
Floor barefooted, Gabril lying limp. His skin absorbed all the aura of the floor which was so cold that his skin hardened. His head tried to push in various directions, but his neck felt more pain when moving.
Gabril tried to find balance, how hard he tried to support his body with his legs always failed. There's something different. His arms were stiff without feeling, not moving silently.
Both of his wrists are tied. The stronger the bond the more he tried to make a fight, the thick rope wrapped around both of his arms. “D...where?” gabril's slow groan whimpered limp.
From behind her eyes she slowly saw the flickering of the bright green-colored light that she had suspected was in the corner of the room. Gabril did not think about what happened before, he only remembered that there was someone who ambushed from behind.
Irregular breathing alternates through his nose and mouth. His heart beat was beating strongly followed by his head getting sicker as Gabril tried to ring up the incident.
Slowly but surely, the girl got up to her feet, with Gabril's breathless footsteps walking closer to the only source of light in the room that felt quite spacious. He was still trying to move his arms in various directions, trying to loosen a bundle of rope wrapped around.
Himself to the front. The flashing green light was brighter when viewed up close. His exposure was enough to illuminate a portion of Gabril's body that now looks dirty by the splash of soil.
“Where is the light button?” Gabril stared at the green light that was stuck in the white box attached to the wall. Some buttons are listed, box shape, round or switch.
Gabril gathered courage before pressing the green box button in front, something could have emerged from behind his body. The room is dark, very dark.
THE CREW...
Gabril used his forehead to press the green button followed by a few chandeliers that lit up, just in the room.
The light shimmer above is able to illuminate the entire room that looks like a classroom is not taken care of, piles of wooden benches and tables scattered everywhere.
Only the lights in the classroom were lit, the long hallway beside the exit was still shrouded in total darkness. Gabril gulped, cold sweat slowly escaping from the pore pore. He was looking for a sharp object to untie his arms.
The look in his eyes was glued to the end of the chair that was stacked upside down, the end of the wooden chair was slightly sharp and enough to peel off the rope wrapped around his arm.
Two minutes passed.The arms of Gabril can now move freely when the decision of the white strands of rope fell quickly to the floor. He quickly opened the classroom door.
The long, endless hallway was right in front of him. Gabril did not care about the bruises on his neck and arms, plus his cellphone was lost somewhere.
The girl took a deep breath before throwing it away strongly. Gabril slowly entered the expanse of hallway without any light slowly. Thanks to the class lights he turned on. Gabril could still see the faint shadow of the object in front of him.
His head was filled with question marks. Who was the one who ambushed him from behind, where were Akma and Ara, were they also being bound in another classroom in this building.
Gabril again let out a long breath. He kept walking through the black curtains that surrounded him. Without a light or a friend beside her, only the girl.

VIONA – A FEW HOURS AGO
Viona opened a little door of hers to let the cold in the hot room. He turned off the lights and only installed a small study lamp beside.
Her tiny arms took the thick book from behind the bag, the girl repeatedly tidied up the glasses before opening one chapter at a time.
The stomp of his reading stopped, his gaze fixed onto the small door slit that he had intentionally not tightened, his facial features turning strange, his forehead creasing clearly.
From behind her room Viona saw Gabril who was slowly coming out of her bedroom, closing the door so slowly that it did not make any noise. Viona watches Gabril's steps, stomping slowly without a squeak of shoes through the living room like a ninja who is infiltrating.
Viona wanted to get out of her room and ask her where her best friend was going, but her intentions slowly dissipated when she saw Gabril's strange behavior.
A few minutes passed, Gabril closed the door again without making a sound, Viona moved out of her room. The glasses girl put on a jacket and picked up a pair of sandals.
His arm touched the doorknob and wanted to turn it fast, but his hand movements suddenly came to a halt. His jacket was pulled back so that his body was restrained. Viona turned her head, apparently Kanti who was lying on the sofa holding the end of Viona's jacket strong. The look on Kanti's face was very strange, staring at Viona sharply without a blink in her eyes.
“Gue also saw, Gabril was sneaking out.” Kanti wakes up from her couch and sits down while pulling Viona before her. “Keep why didn't you ask? It's malem already.” Viona asked back.
Kanti. “Do not, the movements are different. If just want to go out either to the stall or where should not need to spend ngendap gitu.” Kanti rubbed her face slowly clearing her eye brows that were clinging to each other.
“Gue was still not asleep, I was hanging out while closing my eyes, I saw Gabril out, I also wanted to ask. But just look at his attitude just now I was more milim pretending to sleep.”
Viona looked at the window glass that was slightly covered in a curtain. His tongue repeatedly soaked his slightly broken lips. “Connect with Nina.” Kanti got up from the soft sofa that she had been hugging.
Viona quickly opens the contact page on her phone, looking for Fahri's name. Without lingering Viona pressed the call button.

FAHRI
Haikal and Dony were playing a beautiful tone while Fahri was lying limp staring at the stars in the sky.
Drett..drettt.sayup vibrate phone Fahri. The man turned his head leisurely, taking his cell phone which he was putting beside a pillow on a small tarp-like pedestal.
“Hah? It's not wrong Viona called this hour.” Fahri said in confusion. Haikal stopped his fingers from the guitar strings in his lap, followed by Dony who stopped singing.
“Iya Vi, why call malem gini?”
^^^“Fahri, sorry to disturb, but there is something really important.”^^^
“What is important? What tasks?”
^^^“Gabril was out of the house.”^^^
Fahri immediately stood up straight, his slightly burly body faintly visible on the thin clothes he was wearing.
^^^“Iya, Gabril was out of the house in hiding, Kanti same I squirm, we are both worried he would do malem malem kayak like this, so Kanti asked to contact you.”^^^
“Exit diem diem? Meanin? Can he go to a stall or just a walk.”
^^^“Nggak Fahri, I know Gabril has been months, but he was ngendap ngendap out, closed the door very slowly, ngeljang enggak noisu.”^^^
“Okeoke, now how do you want?”
^^^“We met at the intersection of deket rice fields. You know what?”^^^
“OK, I'm the same kids road now.”
Beeps….
Haikal and Dony approached Fahri with faces full of astonishment. The two looked at Fahri who looked a little panicked. “Why? How tense?” Haikal put a big guitar behind the tent. “Pake your jacket on, abis it's coming with me. Gabril escaped from the inn.”
Haikal and Dony opened their eyes wide. “Kabur?” dony's short question made Fahri ruffle his hair slowly. “Kata Viona same Kanti, Gabril diem-diem out, he said abis nerima phone. Don't ask a lot of questions.”
Fahri immediately wrapped his body in a thick dark green jacket, followed by Haikal and Dony in the back. The three of them wore thick shoes and slowly put a flashlight and a short iron stick into the pocket of their jackets and pants.
Haikal and Dony were watching the camp area, all the participants were asleep, only the three of them.
