He did?

CHAPTER 25

Outside, the rain was already starting to fall. We went to the parking lot to get the bike. Tumben he didn't bring his expensive and super cool car. And why should I obey to follow him. And agreed to his offer to take me home.

"The sky is overcast and it is raining. The streets must be quiet, you are not afraid of being chased again. We don't know how many of them. What if they're out there wandering around more?" That's how it says.

While wearing a helmet, I imagined it. Rightly said. What if suppose there is an executioner who is bigger than the body and the number is more. Leo only noticed me trying to hook the helmet strap. Maybe because I've never been on a bike, I don't even know how to hook that round thing. And somehow that motherfucker's rope won't get me.

"I'm helping you here." Although his tone was cold. But, why does it sound like a small attention that I consider big.

What am I thinking, anyway?

My body froze while Leo helped me hook the helmet strap. Gosh, why is he staring at me so closely as if he can read my mind? Can he really read my mind? He looked even more cool with the rain that soaked his face. I don't know why my shameless heart was jumping around in excitement when Leo helped me sit in the backseat. I have no feelings for him.

Both of my hands spontaneously hugged Leo's waist tightly as the motor drove away from school. I just froze.

"Where's your house?" ask as hard as possible to overcome the roar of the motor exhaust and the sound of rain.

"In the compound around here."

"That means our house is pretty close, yeah."

The rain kept pouring down on us all the way.

Arriving in front of my house, Leo immediately parked his motorbike on the terrace to take a short shelter in my house.

Unexpectedly the bete guy turned back and stretched his hand down my chin. In an instant the rope was removed.

I let Leo in. Even though it sounds a little strange, I brought a guy I didn't like all this time and even hated to the house?

Mom was surprised to see me carrying a boy. Yeah, 'cause this is the first time I brought a boy home. Maybe a little funny, the guy I hated being the first guy to come to my house.

Mom brought us a dry towel and warm chocolate. Thankfully, he did not talk much. Just asking a few questions. Like Leo's name and school, and what it has to do with me.

Okay, the last question might not matter much.

For a moment we kept quiet. Sometimes Leo glances at me, and vice versa. The atmosphere became awkward.

"There's something I want to ask you, Elo" I said suddenly. Leo released the hot chocolate in his hand. And turn towards me.

"The cos?"

I looked at him seriously. "Elo knows Indrika?"

Leo was silent for a moment. "indrika?" His eyes twitched trying to remember the name.

"You mean the twin temen lo?"

Finally he remembered it, but why was his response ordinary as if Indrika was not someone important in his life.

"Perche weve?"

"Elo likes him, right?" askaku.

Leos relaxedly replied. "Likes? Who said it? I don't like him. Not even know him. I know him from the gossip of the children, who said that he suddenly disappeared and until now have not met."

Whahuh? Leo said he didn't like Indrika, didn't know her either. But, what about the words of Indira who stated that Leo was crazy about the same Iron. Who is really telling the truth. Is Indira lying? But for what. Maybe this guy is lying. Because I don't trust him completely.

"And actually, Indrika was missing after coming home from my birthday show," he said hesitantly.

A birthday party? As expected, Indrika died after attending a party when viewed from the dress she was wearing. Leo was busy enjoying his hot chocolate.

"According to elo, Indrika is still alive or ..." I stopped my words.

"Indrika is dead."

"Wait!" sergeant Leo is quick. "Why can you say that Indrika is dead? Where do you know? Or maybe elo ...."

Shit, why am I the one being accused of all sorts. I immediately brushed off Leo's words before he spoke anything non-existent about me.

"Elo don't misunderstand me first. So look, at that time I found a necklace owned by Irrika. Since then, I have often been with him. Then I made the conclusion that it was the spirit of the wandering Indrika," I explained, occasionally justifying the position of sitting while.

"Therefore, I am equally determined to uncover Indira's disappearance case which until now has not been revealed. Even the police gave up on looking for him. And in connection when it happened terror in the BP room. And the threatening writing was connected to a tragedy a year ago. While the tragedy a year ago there was only a case of the disappearance of Indrika." I paused my words for a moment. "Then there was a case of Dzihan's murder, after which I got a letter from the perpetrator concerning the linking of all cases including Elmira's death as well. In the letter it is explained that they both have something to do with the case of Irrika. And now you are also a victim. So, the point is that all cases are interconnected and the perpetrators are the same people who have been hiding the body of Indrika all along" I explained at length. Leo just gawked to listen to all my explanations.

"The same people? So you mean more than one?"

I'm nodding. "That's what I got from the letter. But there is one thing that makes me curious. When Indira and I went to the street where I found the necklace, we saw Elo give money to a father who was dressed in a shabby dress. Can you explain what your goal is?"

Leo took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. "Originally you know, yes. That's the money I'm going to give them. I nitip the money to one of the scavengers that I already know and trust to share the money," he explained casually.

I was stunned to hear it.

Guys who I thought were arrogant, indifferent and cold-nyebelin certainly. It has a social soul as well.

"Geez, I think you're there again giving me money to keep your mouth shut."

"Shut up what?" tanyanya confusion.

"Of course about the death of Indrika."

Leo rounded his eyes. "Perbacco, until you accuse me?"

"Yes because Indira also said that you were chasing after Indrika. So I think elo did it. Continue before the death of Elmira, I also see you just out of his house. After that, Elmira's mother found Elmira dead. You didn't kill Elmira, did you?"

"Temen lo is wrong. I don't think about what you have in mind. Just so you know, yeah. I got a text from Elmira when I was sent to her house. Because it's so important. And I went to Elmira's house, but Elmira said she didn't feel like texting me. Even his phone disappeared somewhere. That's why I immediately pulled it again. At first Elmira didn't bring me back. Are you satisfied with my explanation?" he asked with a tone of voice that began to rise. Looks like this bete guy is coming back with his old nature. Before, he could speak softly.

"You accuse me of everything. Is that as bad as I am in your eyes, especially elo?" continued.

To the last words Leo's face looks sad. He didn't show it, but I could feel it from the look in his eyes.

Okay, now I feel guilty and unwell with all the charges I've given him.

"Finally, all the evidence points to elo tau" I said. "Then you torn your clothes that were at the place of Dzihan's death."

"I don't know that either, I swear! Maybe there are people who don't like the same I continue to benefit the situation to fall me."

I nodded brokenly. It is also true what he said. It could be that there are people who take advantage of that situation to bring Leo down. Who, the hell likes a cocky guy, bete, nyebelin. Surely you will also hate it when you meet a guy like that.

"Trust me, Via. I'm not that bad."

"Okay, I believe. By the way, how come you didn't come home?"

"Gue was checking my room again, who knows I found other evidence about who the fucker was."

"Oh, that's ... Another one, how can you memorize my name? I thought even though I called my name a thousand times I wouldn't remember. Because from the beginning we met also you already seem to hate the same me"

I saw Leo a little nervous, his eyes twitching as if he was looking for the right answer. He scratched his head.

Then he looked at the window. "Eh, the rain has started to subside. I go home first, yeah. Say to nyokap lo thanks hot chocolate," he said as he passed away without waiting for an answer from me.

I just looked at his departure with a strange feeling mixed with curiosity.
