The guy on the roof of the apartment? I remember who that guy was. And yes, that guy was Tama. Wait, does that mean Tama is the chairman of all this? The beginning of all this? Then, the business being talked about is what kind of prostitution? So is prostitution leading too?
When I brought Bian to the building, I also met Tama. And, here Asma mentions four people? Tama, Bian, Eagle, who else? The damar? Seems not. Because Damar said he was just a dealer. Then who's the other guy?
I thought about it until I finally fell asleep.

The next day, of course, the news experienced by Rida has spread widely and is now a hot topic among the community. Moreover, the entire Eagle Bangsa school that is also busy discussing this topic.
Aira took her bike. As soon as Aira parked the bike and walked into the corridor, many disciples gathered to talk about the warm news.
"You know what, today's news?"
...
"That's Rida's kid here too, right?"
...
"Pity yes"
...
"Geez, pity too"
...
"Is he really bad?"
...
"Whose culprit?"
...
Blablabla and many others.
"Mir!" Henna ran towards him.
"God!" Aira waved her hand.
Ngiii.....
The announcement speaker is ringing.
Skull.tuk...
Tests.tes...
"Good morning kids"
"Today, we got some bad news. As you can see and hear on the television news, that one of your friends, your schoolmate, was having an unpleasant incident. So, to honor and to channel your condolences, I hope that you all come together to the field right now, thank you"
"Ashiiikkk, no math lessons!" Henna looked pleased.
"Husse! It's our own sad news time!" reprimand Aira.
"Ehehehe" the crybaby felt guilty.
The school began to gather on the ground. Some even carry their backpacks. So also with Aira and Henna who went straight to the field before entering the class. There, amid the crowd of other students who were about to go to the field, Aira accidentally stepped on the shoelaces of other students and made the rope come off.
"Ahhh, sorry, sorry, no linger-" Aira's mouth closed instantly as she raised her head to look at the face of the person she accidentally stepped on.
"Dian?!"
"Why are you here?! Don't you take care of Rida anymore?"
"There's a police guard. I was told to go to school"
"Later you should come too. Same as him" Bian pointed at Henna.
"You are being interrogated he said. Because yesterday you were the first to go there"
"Oh.." answered Aira briefly
"Oh aja?"
"No responsibility?" said Bian.
"meaning?"
Bian glanced at the shoelaces that were released due to the actions of Aira earlier. From the lyrics, Aira can think if Bian wants him to tie his shoelaces as a form of accountability.
"Ck!" inevitably Aira had to tie the shoelaces because it was also her fault.
Finished tying, Aira immediately got up from the squatting position, pulled Henna's hand, then walked away leaving Bian who was still in place.
Praying together begins. Led by a religious teacher at the Eagle Bangsa school that stands firmly in front of the mic stand.
A few minutes later, the prayer ended.
"Yassss, empty hours until pulaaaang!" The overjoyed Henna hung on Aira's arm.
While Aira was only pensive to think of something inversely proportional to Henna.
"Dad!" Henna hit Aira's arm disperse her daydream.
"Well?!" Aira woke up from the daydream.
"Think what?! Daritadi ngelamun"
"Eng.ngak... Thought nothing. The canteen! Laper here!" bring Aira.
"Yes!"

I kept thinking about the contents of the Asthma diary yesterday. As soon as I opened my eyes and my mind went back to work, I immediately remembered about it. About Tama's real position. Is that Tama's a pimple? It's not possible, is it? He's not that kind of person, is he?
From yesterday's incident, when Bian took me. I'm really grateful that I'm not the next target. But on the other hand I was confused too. If they really are the pimps, then why am I being released and not trying to get me back in the building? Or at the very least, they will negotiate so that I do not report to the police, right? They did not even discuss or mention the matter that night. Why approximately? Do they want to hit me slowly? Are they trying to get close to me so I can go back to the building voluntarily? Or.., I don't know.
What is clear, now I become more worried when dealing with them. Bian, Eagle, or Tama. Because whenever they can take me back and harm me. But I'm actually not sure. How'this?.
Oh no, I'm almost late! I'd better leave now.

In the midst of them enjoying a meal, Henna still talked about the empty hours today. He complained while chewing the food that was still in his mouth.
"Ehh, really not giggly? Why not just be repaid?"
"There are no hours all day. Want to do something here long ago too" said Henna who realized her saliva splashed everywhere.
Meanwhile, Aira remained with her daydreams and thoughts overthingking. Aira played her spoon and fork while her gaze blankly stared at the conscious meatballs while spinning on the spot.
"By!"
"Yellowoww!"
"Tin...Ting..Ting...Airaaaaa" Henna knocked on the bowl with her spoon.
"Eh, yes, why? What was that about?" Aira woke up from the daydream.
"Get me, you daydream again"
"What else do you think?"
"If you're too heavy for your own gig, I'll still have time!"
"Is this still about Tama?" Henna guessed.
Aira stopped her activities playing forks and spoons because she felt slapped with Henna's guess.
"Remain, diem. Really right?" Henna.
"Because of yesterday?"
Aira nodded languidly.
"Well, didn't you say anything?"
Aira nodded.
"Sampe now?"
Aira nodded again.
"Keep you didn't say anything?"
Aira shook her head slowly.
"Yaelah Ai, if you wait for Tama while Tama also wait for you, when will it run?"
"But this time I really did!"
"Yes, that's it!" Aira raised her shoulders.
"What?!"
"You know what?!" menacam Henna's.
"Srstttt!" Aira pressed her index finger against her lips as she saw the person she was talking about coming.
Tama came with three of her classmates. Aira pretended not to know of his arrival and chose to continue eating. While Tama who knew the presence of Aira was just a glance for a moment, showed a smirk, then walked back to the meatball seller there with Aira, ordering four servings of meatballs.
Up from the meatballs, Tama was seen whispering something to the meatball seller was not what he was talking about. While on the bench there, there was Henna and Aira who were arguing softly.
"Where the hell is Ai, it's like there's a guy!" whispered Henna.
"Suuttttttttt, diem!"
"Ahhh you here. It won't even run!"
"Udah let me take care of yourself, abisin first your food!" said Aira.
When Tama was about to sit back from ordering meatballs, Henna suddenly raised her hand to greet Tama.
"Gam!"
"Eh, Hen! What isit?!"
"Hen! Arrggghhhh!" Aira put on an annoyed but adorable look.
"Here you go, Aira says" said Henna.
Fucking henna!, inner Aira.
"What by the way?" Tama glanced at Aira while Aira threw away her gaze.
"You sit here, I want to go" Henna stood up from her seat and walked to the meatball vendor to pay for her food.
"What are you talking about?" Tama positioned her seat facing Aira. Crossing her hands on the table, leaning her body towards Aira, as well as the gaze that kept glued to Aira as if ready to listen to whatever came out of Aira's mouth.
Aduuuhhh, what's the talk?, inner Aira.
Watch out for you Hen!, his mind.
"Diem's cigarette? Said anyone want to talk?" Tama brought her face closer to Aira which made Aira to rewind her sitting position.
Aira shook her head hinting at "Nothing"
"By the way"
Aira nodded again.
"Related?"
Aira nodded.
"If so, let me talk" Tama slightly raised her buttocks, brought herself closer to Aira and whispered.
"You"
"It won't get away from me!" whispered Tama with her deep voice and with her low tone increasingly made Aira shudder.
After that, Tama showed her smirk again with her face still close to Aira. Aira who started to think about that no. it gulped down her saliva.
"Tam! Did you pay for our meatballs?" Henna is back.
"Thank you yaaa!"
In the midst of Henna's thanks to Tama, there was Aira who stood up from her seat like a frightened man and walked away leaving Tama and Henna to be taken prisoner.
"Well, Ai? Where are you going?" - Henna
"Tam, go first! I'm Aira's representative to thank you, see you again!" Henna said that without pause and then ran after Aira who began to move away.
"Ra! Wait for napaa" complained Henna as soon as he managed to equalize Aira's steps.
"What's wrong, then?! How very your face" said Henna.
"I'll go to the bathroom first" Aira sluggishly said.
"Want memenin?"
"No need, deket man" - Aira.
"Well, I'll wait in the back garden!"
"Play there?" - Aira.
"Wind seek. The time in class is just fine!"
"Whatever!" aira said then went to the bathroom.
Aira Pov's
I washed my face with water to make it feel a little fresher than before. I myself also realized the look of my face that had been tangled earlier. It was probably because of the thoughts that always filled my brain.
"Hahhhhh" breathed a rough breath.
After seeing myself in the reflection of the glass, I became doubtful of my accusations against Tama. Am I wrong to behave like this? Why did I act like that?
But, my accusation came back when I remembered Tama's whisper in the cafeteria.
"You can't get away from me!"
Those words. Hearing him makes my hair stand up. Hearing her breath when whispering my ears also makes me creep. Moreover, he added the herbs of horror with the sound of his smirk laughter right in my ears. What does that say? Is it true that he approached me just to get me into his dark business? But, I know him for a long time. Then, why has he been showing it lately? Why not long ago when we first met? Why just now?
Rather than a long time in the bathroom just because I thought about it, I better catch up with Henna and calm my mind sitting under the big, shady banyan tree.
Out of the bathroom, I saw Bian who was walking straight while carrying his backpack. Looks like he's going home.
Ah yes, meet Bian. Should I ask him? Will I find an answer?
"Dian!" called him too.
"Ihappily! I want to go to your class" he said.
"What's wrong?" tanyakanya.
"I want to ask"
"But I'm asking you to answer the truth"
"What?" - Tian.
Aira pulled Bian's hand to move to a quieter place because they were talking about a very private matter.
"Whenever here? You're in a hurry, aren't you?" bian Goda.
"Diem!"
"Now I'm asking you"
"Why did you take me to that building?"
"Why are you talking about that again?" - Brian.
"Did you offend me to apologize to you immediately?"
"Okay, then. I'm sorry. Have a big apology!" Bian until he put his palm together.
"I admit I was crazy back then. I'm crazy for taking you to a place that isn't even suitable for you to step on!"
"I just realized that. And I'm sorry. Very very sorry! And therefore I dare not apologize directly to you!" - Brian.
"Apologies are important. But right now all I need is an answer from your mouth!"
"Why did you take me there?"
"And what's the party?"
"Why were you, the Eagle, and Tama there?!"
"Do you really want to know the answer?" Bian changed his expression to cunning as if planning something.
"I'll let you know if you want to date me, hahah" her cunning plan was revealed.
Aira only frowned hearing Bian's words.
"No, right? There are no questions I need to answer!" Bian walked away leaving Aira alone.
Ouchhh, how is this, the inner Aira is restless.
Aira bit her lower lip thinking hard. Meanwhile, Bian smiled smirk with his cunning expression running further and further away from where Aira was standing.
Just a few seconds later, Aira ran after Bian who was walking behind him. Before it got further away, Aira immediately shouted out her words.
"I AGREE!"
