The Strange School
Who That Is



The Flashback


The bell has rung. Tama was sitting on her lap. Although Tama's body still sat quietly on his stool, but Tama's mind everywhere. He imagined what happened between Aira and Bian who did not go to school at the same time and where they went.


Until finally I decided something. Back at school, Tama was standing in front of the Eagle class waiting for the Eagle to come out.


"Woahh!!" The eagle gasped in surprise at Tama who was standing right beside the classroom door.


"She stood there?!" reprimand Eagle.


"We need to get to Aira's house now!" said Tama.


"Well?!"


"Udah spit!"


"Wehhh! You guys haven't come home?!" then Hatta who came from the opposite direction was about to go home.


"You're coming too!" tama chirps as soon as Hatta came and left the Eagle and Hatta who were still confused.


"He why?!" muttered Hatta as soon as Tama left.


"According to ajalah, do you know for yourself if he's angry like how?" whispered Eagle.


Tama walks to Henna's class. Fortunately Henna had not come home because there were still teachers lecturing them. Tama waited for Henna in front of the class until Henna came out.


"Understanding children?!"


"Understanding buuuu!" another exclaimed in a lazy tone because it did not go home.


"Don't forget the job next week last!"


"Yes buuuu"


"Bahhh.... Did bell go home still talk about it?!" gerutu Henna while cleaning his books.


Henna came out after putting her books in her bag. He came out in lethargy. He felt discouraged because of his two friends who did not go to school.


"Pick in the car!" Tama surprised Henna by suddenly appearing in front of Henna.


"YAHOO!!!" Henna flinched a small jump backwards.


"Whatsih Tam?!" upset Henna.


"Dateng dateng immediately asked. Why si?!" nagel Henna.


"Udah spit!" Tama put on her upset face.


Henna who was afraid Tama was angry then just obey him even though he also did not know where to go. Henna walks towards the parking lot with Tama. Arriving there, there was already Hatta and Eagle who stood handing Tama's car waiting for Tama's arrival because they could not get into the car.


"Well, how are they too?! Where are we going?!" - Henna.


"Brew!" the Eagle chirps are enough to piss Henna off.


The brand has arrived at the courtyard of Aira's house. Henna immediately ber-oh ria so know where he wants to be taken.


"Why not tell Daritadi if you want to go to Aira's house? If I'm like gini mah I won't be fussy fromadi kalik!" chirping Henna.


Aira's father's car is already in the car garage. The sign that Aira's father is home and has returned. Tumben's Aira's father has come home this afternoon.


"Assynnya!" Tama leads.


"Glamma!"


"Eh, you guys?"


"Elang? Come mas-" Bernan opened his eyes pleased with the presence of the Eagle, his stepson at his house.


"Lohs?! Where's aira?" aira's father was looking for Aira in their ranks.


"So Aira didn't go to school, she said she was sick. That's why we came here" Tama explained.


"illness?" the forehead of Aira's father was wrinkled.


"Judah, you guys go in first"


Wahhh, seriously! Aira lied dong?, Inner Henna.


Then, right in the cafeteria earlier, they must have talked Bian with Aira. Of course, nothing else.


Anyway, why did Aira skip everything? Same Bian again. I know this situation again.


Henna was confused as to how to resolve the situation. So, once entering Aira's house, Henna immediately went to the bathroom with the excuse of urinating.


Arriving in the bathroom and making sure the door was closed, Henna instead opened the phone in a panic. Henna was busy looking for Aira's contact number in a hurry. He tried to call Aira. But the number is inactive. Henna tried many times, but the result was the same. Henna was getting more panicked because of this situation.


"Ohhhh, Aira where is siii?! Don't know what the mood is?" gerutu Henna's.


Don't know anymore. Henna gave up on calling Aira many times. He finally came out of the bathroom. But the nervousness and gurgling still felt. Henna's legs trembled as she walked back to the living room as Henna had already predicted there would be a world war in a few moments.


Aira's father was busy in the kitchen. Aira's father is making drinks for them, Aira's friends. While stirring the drink, while thinking where Aira went. Aira's father tries to contact Aira. The result was the same as Henna. Aira's father was starting to worry. But, on the other hand, Aira's father guessed that Aira was leaving with Bian. Moreover, this morning Bian said that he did not enter school today. Given that, Aira's father was a little relieved and convinced.


But, again the worry grew again when remembering that Aira and Tama were something less delicious. Bernan, Aira's father thought, if Tama knew Aira went with Bian, fearing that later Tama would get angry and their quarrels were getting worse. Finally Bernan chose to keep quiet pretending not to know what happened.


Bernan returned to the living room with a tray of four drinks. Bernan presented them with pleasure.


"Where are you?" Tama began to open her mouth to ask for Aira's whereabouts. Bernan was confused as to what.


Not long, though,


"Assalamualaik-"


Flashback Off


Aira came in her uniform covered with navy color knit cardigans. Aira widened her eyes as soon as she saw who was visiting her house. Followed by Bian from behind. Bian was similarly shocked by Aira. Bian and Aira looked at Tama's expression which was so calm yet deadly. They saw Tama who was downing her drink with a glance that led to them.


Die me!, inner Aira.


After focusing on Tama, Aira threw her gaze towards Henna who looked just as worried. Henna hinted that the world would end. Henna crossed her arms and shook her head conveying a message to Aira. Henna also hinted at slitting her throat with her thumb as if it were a knife.


"Dad" greeted Aira with a guilty feeling.


"Om I'm allowed to talk to Aira yes" Tama was already standing in her place. Makes the atmosphere even more tense.


"Wait first. Let Aira rest for a while" hold Bernan.


"Yes Tam, sit down first. Let him rest first" Eagle pulled Tama's uniform to let Tama sit back.


Inevitably, Tama obeyed the words of Bernan and the Eagle. Tama sat back in his place.


"Here Ai, Yan" Bernan asked Aira and Bian to sit in a chair with him.


Aira walked over to her father. Likewise with Bian who followed Aira's steps. After that, things were very awkward. This condition lasts for approximately 3 minutes. Which was later solved by Bernan.


"Oh yes! Om forgot! Om was just out of town, bring souvenirs for you!" bernan said with great hope to break this awkward.


"Waaahhhh! Seriously om?! Want to dong om!" it was snapped up by Henna who also helped break the awkward.


Bernan went to get a black suitcase full of souvenirs. Enthusiastically, Henna approached Bernan and helped carry the suitcase.


"Can you choose me?" - Henna.


"By dong!"


"I didn't get it?!" sahut Hatta's.


"certainly. Choose aja, which is your favorite" - Bernan.


"We're talking now!" Tama could no longer resist his desire. Tama immediately stood up from the spot for the second time.


"Om's penguins!" said Tama, who immediately pulled Aira's hand towards Aira's room.


"Woy! What if they fight?" henna whispers to the Eagle.


But the Eagle's reaction only shrugged his shoulders.


Aira and Tama have arrived at Aira's room. Once there, Tama pushed Aira a little because of her unstoppable upset. Aira moaned in pain because of that.


"Where are you the same?!" Tama immediately raised her tone.


"How can you go with him?!"


"What happened to yesterday?!"


"This is how you get revenge?!"


"You walk the same way as someone who is even my kind! You know that?!"


"I know!" aira replied firmly.


"Bian is kind of like you! But not the same!"


"He's not a mun*fik!"


"Not like someone I thought was good but it was far from that word!"


"He was honest with me too. He told me he was involved in that dark business!"


"And you're mad at me?! So?!" - Tama.


"You're mad at me and Bian isn't, is it?!"


"CAUSE I EXPECT SO MUCH FROM YOU!" Aira's ditching her power.


"I'm not wrong I'm more disappointed with you?!"


"And didn't I say it clearly at that time?! If we don't have to see you first?!"


"Lack obvious?!"


Aira did not want to linger anymore looking at Tama's face. Therefore Aira immediately turned around leaving Tama.


"You should also inget Ai!" tama's shout managed to make Aira's steps stop.


Tap..tap...


Tama slowly walked up to Aira and whispered to her.


"You won't be able to get away from me" she whispered right in Aira's ear.


"I've said that before, haven't I?"


"I'm sure you didn't forget" he said, then went ahead of Aira.


Suddenly Aira shuddered at the whisper. She clasped her skirt tightly, biting her lower lip nervously.


Shortly before Aira and Bian returned, Hatta came to Bian.


"Where is Jerusalem?!" Hatta hit Bian's arm.


"I know you're not going to Rida's to take care of her!"


"I know if you're avoiding Tama because you fought at the club yesterday?"


"Pake the reason for the car in the workshop, take care of the rida, ask for sharelock anyway!" babble Hatta.


Huh uh?! When did I say it was like that?, Bian's mind.


"Udah is honest. You didn't go to Rida's place, did you?" - Hatta.


"Dian! You don't want to be?" bernan told Bian.


"Eh, yes om" Bian immediately approached Bernan choosing whichever gift suited him.


"Guys, it's starting to go bad! Let's go!" tama said as soon as he came down from the last rung of the stairs.


"Om, we say yes. Thanks for the dinner, excuse me"


They all went home too. Tama, Eagle, Hatta and Henna. With the exception of Bian. Bian still lives in Aira's house despite being warned with a sharp glare from Tama.


As soon as they left, Bernan approached Aira and asked what had happened. They were both questioned for lying.


"Where are you from?" - Bernan.


"I'm sorry" said Aira.


"Why are you truant?" - Bernan.


"It's not Aira's fault. It was my fault I had brought Aira. Aira has said no but I maksa om" - Brian.


"Where are you guys going?"


"To the beach om" replied Bian honestly.


"Hufffhh...." Bernan breathed a rough breath.


"Are you happy?" bernan asked Aira.


"Have you forgotten your problem?"


"Dad doesn't mind if it is. Dad understands. Dad's not angry"


"Sorry yeah. No talking about dad first. But Aira was a little relieved"


"Sorry Bian is also om"


"No papa. Thanks for taking Aira. Although the way I don't like it"


"Sorry to you"


"Just go home! You haven't been home all day, have you?" - Bernan.


"yes om. Excuse me. Thanks to you, om"


---


The next morning, the entire city was shocked by the news of the arrest of the perpetrator of the murder some time ago. The entire television channel was filled with such shocking news. A lot of people talk about it anyway. Starting from the bottom up. Everybody talks about that.


"Revealed! Murder of husband and wife, blablabla"


"Ck! Ck! Ck! Kids today!"


...


"What a hell of a bitch?!"


...


"Son nggaktau yourself!"


...


"Those sick people!"


...


Blablabla and many other murmurs.


Before arriving at school, Aira took the time to stop by the minimarket near the school to buy headache medicine as well as a bottle of drinking water. Because from the moment she opened her eyes, Aira already felt her head dizzy.


Even in the minimarket, the news is still heard. The cashier guard was seen raising his head in order to watch the news.


"Welcome, happy shopping!" the cashier was surprised by the customer in the middle of him focusing on the television.


Then Aira went straight to the medicine rack and looked for a headache cure. After coming off the medicine shelf, Aira approached the drink rack and picked up a bottle of drink. Aira put her stuff on the cashier's desk. However, the cashier's guard had yet to notice Aira's presence. Aira was a little upset because of that. But in the end, Aira was watching television. Aira was also curious about what made the cashier's guard not focus on working.


"And now, we're in front of the police station where the perpetrator is"


Aira saw the news. News that the reporter was standing in front of the police station waiting for the perpetrator. Many journalists also came to the police station to see the perpetrators of the murder.


"Child of today. Don't know how hard parents live!" muttered the cashier guard.


"Eh! Ma'am! Was it long, huh? Sorry!" the cashier just realized Aira's presence.


Aira was still focused on the television screen it was curious. And, the long-awaited moment arrived. There were some policemen who were taking the perpetrators out of the office. The perpetrator simply lowered his head probably too embarrassed to show his face. All the reporters immediately swarmed over them.


"The total is 15 thousand mbak!"


Aira was still staring at the television, waiting for the perpetrator to show her face.


"Mr?"


"Mr? Huh hello? A total of 15 thousand" the cashier guards waved his hands in front of Aira's face.


"Eh, huh? How many?"


"15 thousand mbak" already three times he repeated.


"It's mbak" gave twenty thousand worth of money.


"How are you feeling right now?"


...


"Do you do it yourself?"


...


"Are there any accomplices?"


...


"Please tell me how you feel right now"


...


"Please say something!"


...


Blablabla and other questions.


"Hehe!" the perpetrator laughed. As a result, the atmosphere was silent for a moment because it was confused what made him laugh.


"AHAHAHAHAHHA!" it's getting worse. The man laughed loudly while raising his head. The face of the perpetrator was clearly visible. He looks pale, his eye circles dark may lack sleep. The reporters became a little step back in fear of anything happening.


Aira has received her goods. But he was still waiting for the cashier to give him his change. He used the time waiting for her to look back at the television.


"HUH?!" Aira widened her eyes as soon as she saw the offender.


"This is the change"


Unheeded. Aira even immediately went to run out of the minimarket without taking her change.


"Who? Ma'am?! Ma'am! The return!" but Aira still went riding a bike quickly.
