Me And The Stars

Chapter 74 Who He Is

Latitudinal

After the prewedding photos done by Sky and Rara a few days ago, today my mother and I are shopping for the needs that we will bring as a wedding shipment.

"Lin, the list has been made, right?" asked Mommy while we were on our way to a shopping mall.

"Already, Bun." My answer. I made a list of the things we were going to buy. Actually, Rara was also invited by us, but the girl refused. "Buy according to mbak and mother is good. I take whatever it is, mbak." He said yesterday when I asked him.

Mom and I spent a lot of time and money. Not my money, but Sky money. Yes, my sister the hostess. We came home about one o'clock in the afternoon. Mom and I sat in the back seat because we were driving.

Drr... Drrt..

My phone's vibrating. I looked for him in the bag and saw Mang Joko calling.

"Hallo, Mang." My broom.

"Ma... Zoya is not at school. Bi has been waiting since, but Zoya is not there." The stars sounded panicked.

"What's wrong, Bi? Have you been looking for class?"

"Say her friend Zoya didn't come in today, ma." And this morning we were among the papa to the front of the gate."

"You're sure Zoya doesn't exist, Bi?" I'm afraid Zoya's friend is just joking.

"Ma sure! We separated at the gate because Bi hurriedly entered the classroom. Bi didn't meet Zoya, ma! Because Bi didn't leave the class."

Bi told me what he knew. Star and Zoya are in a different class. Stars in 4A and Zoya in 4B.

Although next to each other, they also rarely meet at rest because they have their own friends.

"You don't panic. Mom asked the others. My mom walks to school. You wait there, baby." I said to him.

"Yes ma. Hurry up Ma."

"Yes dear." I ended the phone call.

"What's Lin?"

"Zoya is gone, Bun." I answered without seeing my mother. I'm gonna call some people who might know where Zoya is.

"Can't you Lin?"

"The stars don't know either, Bun." I'm trying to calm down. I was so worried. Where's Zoya been for over 6 hours?

"Mang, to the children's school!" I said to my driver.

I called Akhtar. And ask Zoya where she is. "There's no Lin. After driving me straight home. But Zoya just went into the gate. What's up Lin?"

I told you everything. "Stay calm. I went straight there. We checked the school cctv. You call Bunga Satya. I'm gonna call Mama Hana." Akhtar said by phone.

I immediately searched for Bunga's mobile number. The second ring was immediately lifted.

"Hallo Brother."

"Where are you, Na?"

"At home brother. What's up?"

"Zoya wasn't there, Na?"

"There are no brothers. I was nowhere in the morning. And Zoya isn't here. What's up, brother?"

"Oh, there's nothing Na. Later brother's story."

I'm closing the call. My hands are shaking so much. And brother Satya my last hope.

However, Brother Satya gave an answer that made me even more agitated. "I just finished a meeting, Lin. Zoya hasn't arrived yet. She wanna come here? Tumben not ngabarin?"

And my heart was pounding when Akhtar sent a short message.

Zoya's not at Hana's mom's house. Stay calm, honey. We'll check the school cctv.

Mother stroked my shoulder, "Zoya must be fine Lin."

"Yes. Lintang sure he's good. But where is he now? She where? Have you eaten or not? The latitude is not good, Bun." He is not my flesh and blood. But living with him made me love him just like my other children.

"If you can't calm yourself down, what about the stars, son."

Mother's right. I need to be calm. The feeling of the stars depends on me. He'll panic more if I panic.

I arrived at school. The stars were waiting outside the car with panicked faces.

"Bi!" I approached him.

"Yetoo." Justright. The stars are crying.

"We'll wait for papa for a minute." I wiped her tears and hugged my daughter who was as tall as I was. "Zoya must be fine, Bi." But my daughter was sobbing. What star, son?

Akhtar came shortly. We went straight into the school building. Fortunately, the principal and some of the teachers had not yet returned home.

"We beg sir. Because this morning I drove him to the gate." Mas Akhtar begged the principal to be allowed to see the cctv footage this morning.

"Ma, someone said that Zoya came out with a black t-shirt." The stars worry me more.

"Astagfirullah, Mum." I stared at Akhtar. Mas Akhtar immediately grabbed my shoulder to calm me down.

The headmaster immediately asked the security officer to check the cctv.

"What time is it, sir?"

"Five minutes before the bell comes in, sir." Answer Bi quickly. Perhaps this was the reason the Star was in such a hurry to get into the classroom.

Security guards checked the cctv one by one. And found a man who was waiting outside the gate. His face is not clearly visible.

"That's Bi and Zoya, ma!" The star pointed at the screen where he and Zoya walked into the gate.

The star ran away from Zoya. "Bi thinks Zoya's running, ma. Because the bell is soon ringing" said the star as he watched Zoya stop at the gate. And before long he came to the man in the black shirt.

"Princess comes to the man, sir." Said the Headmaster.

Akhtar and I looked at each other. "Who is he, my mom?" Mas Akhtar shook his head.

"Ma, what did that person love to Zoya ma?" The star again pointed at the screen. The man in the hat gave Zoya some paper. "Try on zoom sir!" Akhtar's orders.

And it's useless in the zoom, because it doesn't look what paper it is. Their distance from the cctv camera is indeed quite far.

"Maybe the man had no ill intentions, sir. He couldn't have committed a crime when he found out there's a lot of cctv." The headmaster who saw the recording expressed his opinion.

Right too, my mind.

"The man is gone." The security guard pointed at the screen. "The boy also left. But different directions." Further.

"Sir. Back off a little bit," I asked.

And the man in the hat showed his face to the camera. I felt like I was no stranger to his face. Even though it was far away and his face was not clearly visible.

"Zoom his face, sir," Akhtar's mas pinta.

And after the dizoom, "Mas... She?" I shook as I stared at Akhtar's mash.

And Akhtar nodded with a face that held back emotions. "Call Satya about Lin's truth."
