He did?

CHAPTER 19

I looked at the empty bench next to me. Yeah, that's Tara's bench. The bell went off 10 minutes ago. But there was still no sign of his presence. Was he angry at what I said at the time? Because since that incident, some days he did not go to school. The angry one should be me. Not himself. Because he has been offending me.

"Livia, where's Tara going?" asked Miss Maryanih Biology Teacher who is teaching in our class now.

"Sorry, Mom. I don't know. It's been three days that Tara hasn't been to school, either" I replied. Even though we are neighbors. But lately I rarely see it outside the house.

I turned my face to the window. Since Tara did not enter, I moved to sit down to Tara's place adjacent to the window. I occasionally look up at the bench next to me. Where is he, is he hurt by my words? Ah, the bodo time. Perduli. After all, he started it himself. Why is he talking to me like that. Why did he say Indira was evil, kept Denis as well. What are they both wrong with him to the point of ridiculing them so. My eyes returned to the window.

The break sign bell rang, Indira and I were sitting sweetly in the cafeteria. Waiting for the food we ordered.

I looked at Indira who was sucking her drink.

"Ra, I don't think Leo did it, huh."

"Grand .. uhuk ..." Indira chokes. "Could you be sure?"

"When I met him and I was wondering about tearing him up. Trus he said he wasn't the culprit. I also saw his face seriously. And his eyes also signaled that he was actually telling the truth."

"Oh my goodness, Via. Everywhere, tuh, where there are badgers. It's clear that his shirt was torn at the scene. Not to mention 'the first Leo also chases after Indrika. Maybe he really had something to do with this."

"Continue now what should we do?"

"Where about going back to school to Elmira's house? There are a lot of questions I want to ask him. Because since the Dzihan incident, he hasn't been to school either."

Yeah, since Dzihan's death. Elmira still hasn't shown her nose in class. Maybe he's still shocked by Dzihan's death. How not, he witnessed the body of his best friend who was very concerned. If I had been in his position, I would have locked myself in a room.

"Gue agrees with you" I nod.

In 10 minutes the bell marks the end of the break will ring soon. Before class, Indira and I stopped by the toilet. The toilet is now clean. No blood stains on Dzihan's remains. The yellow line that used to be installed has now been removed.

I washed my hands in the sink, while Indira was urinating. When looking in the mirror, a female image appears. He was standing right next to me. And my hand froze under the sink faucet that the water was without me noticing I was letting it flow on. It made me fretfully look to the side and the shadow was gone! When I looked back at the mirror, the image was completely absent. I washed my face with lightning.

Suddenly a hand grabbed my shoulder. And that surprised me.

"Indira! Why, the hell, you always make me hang?" detangku annoyed.

"Yes, how do I know if holding your shoulders can only make you shocked to the whole thing."

I took a long breath. "Let's go to class!" I pulled Indira's hand.
