The break bell just rang, for now Aurel will go to the library because he is sure if he goes to the cafeteria then he will again feel alien to the people who are there. Then it is better if he chooses a quiet place, so that others do not always see him dangerous.
In the aurel library there was not a single person, it seemed that the disciples here very rarely set foot into the library. Seen from the amount of dust attached to the books that are here.This library looks less cared for because many spider webs in the corners of the room.
Aurel sorted out one by one the books arranged on the bookshelf, he read every title listed on the book but nothing interested him. Until his hand touched a very strange book, the cover of the old brown book made Aurel interested.
"SMA DASILA'S DARK STORY"
"I think this book will guide my love" Aurel said.
"Hey!" Calling someone, Aurel who was unaware that there would be anyone other than himself in the library felt shocked by the voice that had just called him.
"What's going on here?" Aurel asked trying to calm down.
"Father, nyariin Lo"
"Well?"
"Gue only knows you here"
"Why don't you get to know each other?"
"Ga ah, I feel like they're all weird"
"How weird?"
"When I have a library where, they even see me from top to bottom, ngerih ga anyway?"
"Emang, they're weird" Aurel murmured but was heard by Darren.
"Lo feel it too?"
"Yes, that's why the cave wants to find out about this High School"
The bell had rung, Aurel left Darren who was digesting his words.
"Eh wait!" Call Darren but not in Kubris Aurel.
"What do you mean?" Tanya Darren aligned the steps with Aurel.
"Shut up, they'll hear" Aurel Darren said.
Throughout the school hall the two were silent, unable to speak because everyone's eyes were on him.
Aurel who knew it would just be quiet without caring about them, in contrast to Darren who had just set foot in this High School, he became awkward and strange when all eyes were on him, moreover, their gazes were like wanting to introgate.
"Ntar came home together, huh? I'm curious" whispered Darren, Aurel only replied with a slight nod.
The gripping atmosphere was felt again Aurel, but this time he was not alone, there was Darren who also felt the same as himself.
"But took a long time home, huh?" Darren Whisper.
"Ga know, not as usual" Aurel replied.
"Lo see" said Darren giving instructions through the eyes to Aurel.
Aurel, who is sensitive to the code from Darren, follows his point of view. And sure enough, the teacher who explained the material had stopped talking and looked at him and Darren with a terrible look.
"Why did he see us?" Ask Aurel.
"Ga know, maybe want to nyampein something time" said Darren Ngasal, although in his heart also beware of the people who are in this school.
Finally the gripping atmosphere had ended, as the bell went home ringing one by one the students in the classroom left.
"Gue wait at the gate" said Aurel hurried away.
Darren immediately followed Aurel to the gate with his motorcycle, and sure enough Aurel was leaning against a wall, the girl's mind looked bright, no matter what he thought? No one knows.
"Kneel!" Take Darren. Aurel didn't say much he just obeyed Darren.
"Let's go" said Aurel. Darren drives his bike away from the school's terrible grounds.
A cafe with a minimalist theme becomes Darren's stop.
"It's a problem here, isn't it?" Ask Darren. Aurel got off the motorcycle Darren, and observing the cafe, not too many people here, Aurel felt this place was suitable to discuss about SMA DASILA.
"Lock in" said Aurel walking ahead of Darren.
"Mbak pesen orange juice one, you want what?" Ask Aurel.
"Gue is the same"
"Two orange juice" Aurel said to the waiter, then he chose a seat at a table in the corner of the room.
"So, you want to know about what?" Aurel asked without a stale ado.
"Everything you know" Darren replied.
"Gua doesn't know anything, the cave just knows the people there must be hiding something"
"Something?" Darren's question doesn't understand.
"So I just moved yesterday, then I was horrified by two whispers that I just saw sitting in the corner of the bench" said Aurel recalled the unfortunate incident at his new High School.
"Wait to see Lo transfer student too?"ask Darren in disbelief.
"Yes"
"Gue thinks you've been there a long time"
"No, it was only yesterday" Aurel replied.
"Excuse me for the drink" said the waiter, then left after finishing.
"Oh yes I found something" said Aurel.
"What?"
"Book" Aurel replied, after taking it out of the bag.
"What a book, it's obsolete"
"Gue don't know, but I'm interested in the same title who knows who can give us info"
"SMA DASILA'S DARK STORY" Darren said in the caption.
"Try to open it" Aurel asked.
Darren opens the first page of the book, and Darren and Aurel don't believe what he sees.
"Seriously?" Ask Darren.
"You know, I've never opened it"
"Abal-abal like a book, gini empty time anyway" said Darren.
"Ga maybe, there must be something, try to see" said Aurel robbed the book, he flipped sheet by sheet of paper in the book but the results remain nil, the book he brought from the library did not produce results according to his expectations.
"Ga is there, right?" Ask Darren.
"Yes, in vain I brought it from the perpus"
"Jude, don't be sad so we can find the info next time" Darren comforted.
The ringing of Aurel's phone was felt on the table, Aurel sliding the green icon from his phone.
"Hello ma" Aurel replied.
"...."
"I'm outside ma, same temen"
"...."
"I'm coming home soon"
"...."
"Yes ma, before the magrib I had already nyampe home kok"
"...."
"Bye ma" Aurel disconnected his phone.
"Lo Nyokap huh?" Ask Darren.
"Yes" Aurel put his cellphone on the table but his hand accidentally spilled the juice he had just drank.
"It's a good thing I didn't get it" Aurel said.
"But the book_"
"Judahlah gapapa, later I want to be at home" Aurel replied. He wiped the rest of the drink from the book with a tissue, then put it in a bag.
"It's 5 o'clock in the afternoon, come home" Aurel asked.
"Yes, I'm Anter ya" Darren bargained. Aurel replied with a nod because he might aurel nyari taxi at this hour, the road must be jammed, and again he had to go home before magrib.
Darren stops right in front of Aurel's fence.
"Wanna stop by?" Tawar Aurel's.
"Gee, next time"
"Yaudah"
"Pamit ya" said Darren then drove his motorbike away from Aurel's house.
After Darren's motor starts to drift away, Aurel enters his home.
"Aurel, why are you so late?" Ask Aleta.
"Sorry ma, I have a group assignment" lied Aurel.
"Here is the bath, mama ready to eat first, we eat together" Anita pinta.
"Yes ma"
Aurel went to his room, he put his bag on the mattress and pulled out the book that had been spilled. Then dry it using a hair dryer, after it is felt that it is enough Aurel put the book on the mattress. But strange things reappeared, the book put out some numbers, on the first page.
"23, 1, 14, 9, 20, 1"
"2, 5, 18, 8, 1, 20, 9"
"9, 2, 12, 9, 19"
"This what?" Inner Aurel did not understand.

Aurel sitting at the dining table with Aleta, Aleta is not a talkative person like most other parents. And that trait goes down to Aurel who doesn't like to talk much unless there's something important.
"Ma, when's papa coming home?" The question came back to Aurel, I don't know how many times he asked that question.
"Mama don't know, no word from papa" Aleta replied.
"What is your mama's nelfon?"
"Ga is active" Aleta's heart again restless because of Aurel's question, where her husband why he did not also tell, since the incident, her husband no longer left a trace. Worried, she worries about her husband Aleta, especially when Aleta finds out that the husband is leaving to challenge the danger they created themselves. But in front of Aurel, Aleta remained calm, she did not want the secret she had covered for 17 years to be uncovered.
Aurel, who knew about the change in the look of her face, chose silence. Aurel did not want to add to his mother's grief because of curiosity.
"I went to the room first ma" said Aurel after finishing his meal.
In the room he again saw several rows of numbers that he did not understand it. What do these numbers mean, why are there so many puzzles in his life. Especially since he moved to Jakarta and occupied a school full of mystery.
Aurel who remembered her papa, the look on her face returned grim. Where's papa? Why didn't he come back, what happened?
Aurel tries to call her papa, hoping that her papa will answer her call.
"Sorry the number you're calling is out of reach, please try a few more moments" the sound of the operator added to Aurel's concerns.
Half an hour passed, Aurel continued to contact his papa, but the result was the same operator's voice kept being heard over and over again.
"Where is he going?" Inner Aurel.
Aurel recalled one of his papa coworkers, grateful that he kept the phone number of his papa co-worker. The connected tone made Aurel very grateful.
"Let's pick up dong, pliss" Inner Aurel.
"Hello"
"Hello om, it's me Aurel"
"Oh Aurel, why?"
"Om again there's work with papa ga?" Ask aurel was-was.
"Ga, it's been a week when I haven't seen your dad"
"Om a week?"
"Yes, usually papa you do not contact om at all, usually if there is no work papa you most ngajak om ngopi, but this time no at all, papa where are you?"
"I don't know, too, papa don't tell me anything? I'm the same mama again waiting for news papa, we worry about om" said Aurel, this time his tone is low.
"You don't have to be sad, you will help look for it" comfort Hendra.
"Yes, thank you if there is news about papa tell me yes om"
"certainly"
