I almost fell asleep throughout class. My eyes are too heavy to open. There was no more energy to step into the cafeteria. I just want to sleep in class. Please no one bothers me. I really want to sleep. I lay my head on the stalk of the chair, slowly closing my eyes. I almost fell asleep as someone sat in front of me. I opened my eyes slowly. Wishing it wasn't someone who just bothered me. I looked at her, and she just smiled sweetly. I closed my eyes again.


"It's so sleepy, huh? " sanyanya.


"Hmmm. "murm.


"I haven't seen you in the cafeteria in a few days. Wh why? " tanyanya's back.


"I went there, far away, sleepy" I replied.


"Yes, I know. Said your friend lately you often sleep in class, want a story? ".


"If I told you, would you believe it? "Look at him.


"Why not?, you're my girlfriend. I may not believe in you. Just story"


I justify my duduku. I looked at the face of the ade nugraha in front of me. She smiled so sweetly. Disperse drowsiness. We've been in contact for a long time. Almost 3 years since High School.


"Have you ever heard of the disappearance of 10 art students? " tanyaku.


"Early. "the answer.


"I was very curious yesterday about the stories, so some days I went there.. Almost went in there, but it didn't" I explained.


"Certainly? What did you get? " sanyanya.


"Since that incident, I couldn't sleep every night. Someone called my name. His voice is not unfamiliar in my ears, very familiar, serious" I explained.


"That's just your feeling. I don't think about it anymore. Mending us to the cafeteria, Eat. " said ade.


"Come to the administration office"


Ade's call made me realize. It should have been at the student data administration office that was missing. Why am I so stupid. I never thought about going there. I hurried to pack my things in my bag. I walked in ade's footsteps to the administration office. Hopefully what I hope we can get there.


Arriving there, the officer handed us a student book from four years ago. Student data book art. We both turned the book over slowly, looking for the row of names on the board. One by one, we met their names there. But so far we have not found Ariez's name there. We've seen 10 books, but we haven't seen them yet. Until the last book did not exist, it was strange to think. I rise to the administrative officer."


"Sorry sir, can you check Ariez's name on the computer data? Art student three years ago? " my call to the officer.


"Awhile yeah.. "


The officer entered Ariez's name on his computer, but so far there is no student data with that name. But why his name is listed on the campus.


Is he really a student here, is he really missing with other students, or is it just the name of the student who is missing not because of the bush, or is it just a name of the student, or just a student story so that the impression of the dormitory looks more serem?.


The questions danced in my head. We stepped away, taking our steps towards the campus garden. I'm still very, very curious.


"You're still curious? " ask ade.


"Yes, I was wondering if it was just a story or reality" I replied.


"Why if we prove ourselves that it's a shame story or not"


Ade's words surprised me. Seriously?!


What if it's real, what if we really can't go back? What if our rice is the same as those ten students??.
