He did?

CHAPTER 20

"Via, look" whispered Indira stopping my steps.

Yeah, after school we went straight to Elmira's house. However, Indira suddenly stopped my steps when we were a few meters away from Elmira's house.

"What's up, Ra?"

"Lo look at that car. Isn't that Leo's car?" he pointed to the front of Indira's house. There is parked a car. Which I recognize as Leo's car. I knew the car when Indira and I accidentally caught Leo giving money to a beggar.

We hide behind a big tree. A few minutes later came out a guy I knew very well. He got into his car and drove away from Elmira's house.

"Well, is Leo here?" tanya Indira looked at me. I wish I knew the answer.

I lifted both my shoulders. "I don't know."

After Leo's departure, we immediately entered the terrace of Elmira's house.

Indira and I looked at each other, and Indira answered with a nod. I know what he's thinking. He told me to knock on the door. And a middle-aged woman came out, her hair in buns.

"Who's looking?" tanyakanya.

"We're Elmira's friends, Auntie. We can meet him, right? We are worried about the problem already a few days Elmira is absent from the class," explained Indira sweetly. I know this girl is lying. He wasn't really worried about Elmira. Of course, actually Indira does not like the arrogant and arrogant nature of Elmira. But she had to have sweet words to convince Elmira's mother.

"Oh, sure. Please come in." He let us in.

"Sorry, yeah. Elmira is still in shock because she has to lose her best friend. So, for a while she's off school first." He walked in front of us while continuing to tell us that the princess was just a puppet that was very sad even Elmira did not want to go out of the room. As a mother, she was also saddened by the condition of her son.

"You wait here, yeah. Aunty's gonna call Elmira first." After saying so, he immediately climbed the stairs to the top floor.

Indira and I looked around the room. The house is quite large, with green painted walls decorated with classic patterned carvings.

"Yesa ..." Suddenly there was a screaming sound from the top floor, more precisely from the direction of Elmira's room. That's his mother's voice.

Indira and I rushed to the stairs in a hurry.

"What's up, Auntie?" ask me when I'm next to him.

"Via, look!" point Indira into Elmira's room.

My eyes widened to see what was in front of my eyes. A hanging leg, I stared at him from the bottom up. I saw Elmira's body hanging. His eyes bulged, and his tongue stuck out. What is more creepy, his stomach is hollow so that it is clear that his small intestine appears out.

His mother suddenly collapsed. Fainted.

Indira and I were so panicked, we called the police.

The atmosphere of Elmira's house became crowded, police lines crossed around her house. Indira and I were asked a few things. I see Mother Elmira is crying incessantly. She was being hugged by a man who was none other than her husband. Her husband kept trying to calm her down. Like the Dzihan murder incident, no evidence was found. The culprit is very clever. Why were they killed? Does all this have something to do with it?

Indira and I decided to go home. The plan to interrogate Elmira failed miserably. It is unexpected that Elmira was targeted by the perpetrator. Indira came home with a disappointed face. We decided to talk about it tomorrow at school. Because now the sun has begun to lean west. The sky is colored.

I don't know why I'm destined to see the bodies of my friends who died from being killed. At the time of Dzihan's death, seven days I always remembered the details of his face. And now Elmira.

I hesitated to step foot into his house.

"Tara," call me.

Tara looked at me. His face was pale with no expression.

"Where have you never been to school? Elo was angry with what I said at the time, huh?" my many.

Tara shook her head slowly. "I'm not angry. I'm sorry I shouldn't have acted the same way with you." His eyes shifted to me.

I didn't think Tara would say that. He finally admitted his mistake.

"No papa. Why did you never go to school?"

"I'm sick."

"What's? Sick? Elo sick what?"

Tara just kept quiet and didn't answer.

"Kok elo diem instead?"

"Sorry, I can't tell you. But I'm fine" he said with a smile.

"Oh, it's okay if you don't want a story. Oh, ja. I'm here to tell you about Elmira. She-" I haven't finished talking, Tara cut it.

"Elmira was killed" he said flatly.

"Elo know?" I just can't believe it. How could Tara know. The only ones who knew about it were me and Indira.

For a moment I remembered Tara saying that she could see the future.

"It's late in the afternoon, I have to go inside immediately." He got up from his chair and left. When he got to the door, he turned to me.

"Thank you that you still care about me, even though I've been rude to you" she smiled.

I returned Tara's smile. After that he went inside.

I rushed home too.

Suddenly my phone vibrated, a message sign came in. I saw the number was unknown.

Now that the two people involved are gone, what are you going to do??

I was astonished and wondered, what does this message mean? Whose number is this? Or maybe the killer's number. That means Dzihan and Elmira are involved in the loss of Indrika.

But, how does that criminal know my number?
