Dino was already in front of the school gate. Then suddenly, someone called out his name. Dino looked back.
“Dinoo!”
It was Liena who called him. He was walking with his brother. They are also always together if they go to school.
Dino was very surprised when he saw Devan in front of him, but he tried to calm down at this time. Then Liena ran up to him.
“Kyaaa... Dino! Turns out you're taller well, now.” Liena said with excitement.
For some reason, her cheeks suddenly turned red in embarrassment upon hearing Liena's words. “Ah... haha... Yes! Because I've been eating a lot lately.”
Then Devan came closer. Dino did not dare to look at his face. Somehow he always goosebumps when he sees Devan's cold, cute and creepy look.
“Lina, we have to go now.” Take Brother Devan.
“Yaah... but I want to go with Kak Dino only.. Brother first!” Liena whining. Dino could only stay close to these two sisters. He also let his left hand pull Liena.
“Can't, Lina! You need to get to your class right now, bell again. Come!” Devan.
Liena lowered her head while clasping Dino's hand. Then he raised his head back and glanced at Dino. His eyes snapped in shock as Liena looked at him.
“Kak Dino.. sorry well, I first, okay! Come on brother Devan!” liena said softly to Dino.
“Come!”
When the older brother left Dino, he immediately walked a bit behind them to get to the school and class environment.
Dino was relieved when Devan walked away from her. But suddenly this tense feeling appeared again as the phone in his pants pocket shook.
Dino reached into his pants pocket and grabbed the phone that was inside. He opened his phone. When he saw it, there was a message coming in.
"Aldy?"
KRIEING…
Well, Dino didn't have time to read the message because the class bell had rung. He has to get to class quickly.
****
In class….
Before the lesson begins, Mr. Wanto will pass on the students in the class first. One by one Mr. Wanto called them all.
“Adit!”
“Hadir, Paak!”
“Ahmad?”
“Hadir!”
“Aldy?”
“….”
“Aldy is there?” ask Mr. Wanto. All the kids glanced at each other looking for Aldy, but it turned out that Aldy wasn't in class. Dino himself also realized that while Aldy was not in the class.
Where the hell is he?
“Does anyone know where Aldy is now?” ask Mr. Wanto again.
Everything's shaking. Mr. Wanto nodded slowly. “Okay then, means Aldy got Alpha today! Come continue...”.
“Aldy to where? Why didn't he go to school today? I asked Chelsea!”
Dino slowly changed his position to face Chelsea who were beside him. “Hei, Chelsea!” He whispered.
Chelsea looked at him and said. “What?”
“Umm... do you know where Aldy is now?”
Chelsea shakes. “No! Don't you know it yourself now?” He asked back.
Dino shook her head. “I don't know either!”
From last night, Dino continued to worry about her friend, Dino feeling bad about her.
"Akhs! I should have seen him last night! What the hell happened to him? Is he in danger? I don't know. What if he gets kidnapped or caught by a bad guy? What if he's eaten by a beast? Did he get kidnapped by aliens? What if he disappears forever? And worst of all, what if I can't see her again!? It's disaster!"
“Dino... Dino! Dino Dirmansyah!”
“Hei, Dino! Your name is called!” chelsea whispers.
Dino who was silent and thought was surprised. He knew his absence was still running, so he quickly stood up from the chair to show his presence. “Oh, yes Sir! Present!”
“Dino... don't like to daydream constantly, it's not good for you!”
“I–Iya sir!”
"Oh, shame on it."
****
KRIIING…
Breakdown clock–
“Dino, will you come with me?” Take one of the girls in her class.
“Ah, Sorry yeah! I want to be in class now.” Dino answered.
“Oh, well then, I'm first yeah! Bye.” The woman said, leaving and waving her hand.
Now again in the Dino class there is only himself with Chelsea. Chelsea is reading the book. Dino is also doing the same thing as Chelsea did, only, the books he is reading are from the library. Dino borrowed it.
When he finished reading, Dino closed the book and immediately stood up from the seat. He wanted to return the books back to the library.
“Chelsea, I want to go to the library first, yeah! Want to restore this book first.”
“Oh, yes already please.” Chelsea is busy with her book. Dino left Chelsea and dropped out of class.
****
At the Library…
“OK, only this book I have not put. This book I took from the shelf how well? I forgot.” Dino muttered while walking down every bookshelf there.
“Sini, let me help you!” Suddenly someone picked up the book that Dino was holding earlier. It was Liena!
“Liena, what are you doing here?” dino asked confusedly.
“Haha... Kak Dino must be confused to put this book, right? I know where it is.” Answer Liena.
Then Liena went somewhere inside this library to where the book was placed. Dino followed Liena from behind.
“Well, this is where this book was put!” said Liena.
Apparently, the book was placed in shelf number three. Dino forgot. Actually, during the Indonesian language lesson, he had to go to the third shelf place with Chelsea to take the book he wanted to read.
“Oh, okay. Thank you!” dino said with a smile. “But how did you know it was here?”
“Umm... because I've read that book.” The answer.
“Oh.”
Oh, so Liena had read that book. The book he just read was a horror novel called “Lost”. I don't know if he forgot who the book was, but the point is, it's the scariest novel Dino likes.
Soon, his phone shook again. Any incoming messages? When Dino opens, it turns out it's a message from Aldy again. Ah, what a coincidence!
There are 2 messages from Aldy. Dino opened the message and read it.
The first message was sent at 6:30 a.m. The message read, [Dino, I can't go to school today. ]
Dink muttered, "Oh. Huh, if I know he's my permission, I'll tell Mr. Wanto that Aldy doesn't get alpha."
After that, Dino shifted my thumb up. There was a message going to two on his screen. It's from Aldy again. Order this morning too, but it's different hours. The message was sent at 7 a.m., right at the class bell.
The message said, [Dino, would you like to meet me at the number 11 Banyan Street near my house. After school. ]
“Oh! I know that road! That's close to the T-junction going to Aldy's house. After school, huh? Okay deh!” Thought in the heart.
Then Dino will reply. “OK!”
Shortly after, Aldy returned. Uh, very quickly he immediately replied to her.
[Thank you. I'll wait for you there. ]
Okay.
It looks like Dino can't go home with Chelsea. Dino played the phone for a while, and then he saw a sign of someone calling him a few hours ago.
"That's Aldy's mother? What'd he call me for? Let it go!"
“Dino... are you done with your phone?” ask Liena suddenly.
Dino surprised. He nodded quickly. “Ah! Ja. Already.”
“Then, come on! Will you play with me during this break? Just sec. Come on...” persuade Liena.
Dino thought for a moment. “How is this? Chelsea told me I couldn't get close to this kid. But I couldn't bear that cute face of hers begging me to walk with her. Well...what can I do!”
“OK! Come onl. But just a minute yah!” answer Dino lirih.
“Iyeayy.. ayoo!” Liena pulled Dino's hand with her away. They came out of the library and went straight to the school garden.
When he got there, Dino and Liena sat on a park bench. Dino tried to sit a bit away from Liena, but every time she shifted, Liena also shifted, she wanted to approach Dino continuously.
Soon, Devan passed in front of the two of them. Then Liena greeted him, “Hai, sister!”
Devan smiles at his sister, but not at Dino. Devan stared cynically at him. It's starting to feel bad here. Then Dino stood up straight from her seat. He'll go from there. But Liena prevented it.
“Sister Dino where you going!?” tanyakanya.
“Umm... I want to go back to class, soon the entrance bell reads.” Answer Dino.
Liena put on a sad face with her cute. “Yaah... but the clock finished its break is only 10 minutes away. We still have a lot of time together.”
“Can't! I have other business in class!” snapped Dino while releasing her hand from Liena's grasp.
For some reason, Liena's hand immediately loosened and released her hand. Dino saw Liena being silent for a moment while lowering her head. Then he raised his right hand and pointed towards Dino.
Liena raised her head and stared intently. His eyes turned bright red. Dino was surprised. Liena continued to stare at Dino with those red eyes.
Then instantly, his body could not be moved, like someone was holding him firmly. Dino has been controlled by Liena's eyes. It was those eyes that controlled his body.
“You have made me angry, for refusing my invitation! Now feel the consequences!” furious Liena.
Dino couldn't say anything to her. Then his eyes glanced down, and immediately his body slammed into the ground because of the twinkle. It hurts so much. Then when Dino was already downstairs whimpering in pain, Liena stood right in front of him.
“Now you know the consequences of refusing my invitation. Dino...“ Liena said with a firm tone and a sinister face.
Then after he said that, his eyes went back to how they were. “... Do not repeat again well, sis!” Instantly her voice returned cute and smooth.
Dino was finally able to move back. In a sitting position while leaning over the garden bang, he complained his chest hurt. Then Dinl glanced at Liena who was smiling to herself next to him.
“Liena, it turns out that's how your eyes work. Chelsea say he is a dangerous boy. Anyway from now on, I have to be careful with her.” He murmured in the heart.
****
Dino finally gets back to class. It could be far from the kid. When he was in class and sitting in his place, Chelsea were surprised to see Dino.
“Eh! A dino? What's wrong with you? You look so fucked up!”
It's true, when Dino returned the situation was indeed chaotic. His clothes were dirty, his hair was ruffled, and his body was in all pain.
“Umm... it's okay kok.” Dino answered slowly.
“Oh.” Chelsea read the book again. But his gaze was still glancing towards Dino who was leaning her body against the wall by the window while closing her eyes.
“What happened to Dino? He's not like he used to be. Did something bad happen to her?” Think Chelsea.
Chelsea then read the book again. Shortly, Dino spoke to Chelsea. “Sea. Today I can't go home with you just yet, well!”
“Loh? Why?”
“I have business after school later.”
Chelsea nodded. “Oh, okay!”
They also went back to silence.
Shortly after that, the doorbell rang again. The break is over. All students enter their classes to continue their studies.
The 3rd lesson begins. There are only 2 more separate lessons left, and Dino can finally get out of school and go home.
****
When I returned to school–
Dino's body felt all limp. It felt like he wanted to get home and go to bed, but unfortunately he had to see Aldy first.
Dino's going to the place Aldy said he was. Can't make you wait there long. He must be quick.
But..why suddenly the feeling so bad this way. Uh!
Dino will try not to care.
