The Winged Angel

66. Inculpation

The police arrived ahead of schedule. So that before the last lesson was over I was called back to the BK room. This time it was Bu Yuna herself who picked me up for class. Of course, my classmate asked. Especially Sarah, she could not hide her curiosity.

I was struck by excessive nervousness, so my hands were endlessly sweating. 

A well-built man, with the face of the sangar was already sitting waiting for me in the BK room. Looks like he's the cop that Mr. Yahya meant earlier. The man was wearing a black t-shirt coated in a leather jacket, his subordinates he was wearing jeans. At first glance he does not look like a cop but a thug.

Not long ago I landed my ass on the sofa, Tiara came. He sat next to me.

The silent atmosphere is gripping.

" Are these children unaccompanied by their parents" the voice of the police baritone broke the silence.

" Because this case happened in the school environment, so we as the teacher who became their guardian," replied Bu Yuna.

" Alright, I'll start, your teacher has explained briefly this issue. And now I want to ask you directly as victims," the policeman stared intently at me and Tiara alternately.

" Can you tell me what the chronology is, then,?" ask the police.

I don't know who the cop asked. Tiara and I looked at each other. 

" Your tiara explained first" said Bu Yuna.

Tiara rubbed her palms over her thighs. I'm sure he's nervous like me. 

" It all started with…" 

Tiara began to tell how she knew Gilang at first, until the idea of pranking it popped into her head. Until finally he received terror and threats from Gilang, if Tiara did not want to give money to the man. Occasionally Tiara seemed to let out a long sigh, in between the stories. I hear all Tiara's explanations. And from Tiara's explanation, I also know that Dion contributed to this.

So Dion's been lying to me a lot lately. Just watch out later. 

" I see, sir," said Tiara ending his story.

The policeman was a mangosteen, he seemed to write some things in his notebook. 

" Then you, tell me how it happened until he abused you" the policeman looked at me.

My chest is tight, again - again I have to go back to tell about the bad events that I have struggled to forget. But if this can get that jerk to take the punishment for what he did, I will strengthen my heart to reopen my story.

I glanced one by one at the teachers in the room, all the same they nodded their heads convincing me to explain to the police.

I took a breath and then started to tell it. Not only the incident in the back building, but some events where I saw Gilang in this school. The incident during the ceremony that Tiara had told me earlier, then I was confined to the toilet shortly after accidentally meeting Gilang. Then when I almost met her while cleaning the toilet. 

The policeman stared intently at Tiara, making Tiara tremble in fear.

" Do you really not know what about the abuse case, then,?" ask the cop to Tiara.

" No sir, I don't know." 

The policeman seemed to think for a moment. He hit the soft ballpoint pen at his temple. 

" So you said, someone changed the contents of your letter. Where's the letter, is it still there,?" ask the cop.

" Oh sir, the letter is the same as me, I'll take it for a moment" Mr. Reza chimed in as he got up from his seat.

Mr. Reza came back with the letter, he put the letter on the table. The policeman who until this moment I did not know his name took the letter and read it at a glance. I saw the policeman smiling faintly. 

" Try writing your name on this paper" the policeman tore off one sheet of his book paper and handed it to Tiara complete with a pen. 

Tiara's hands trembled reaching for the pen and then she wrote her name on the paper. After it was over the police observed Tiara's writing and matched the writing on the letter.

" Not the same," he murmured.

" Is there no CCTV, in the classroom or outside the classroom,?" 

" No sir, CCTV is only in the most important parts of the school building" replied Mr. Yahya.

The policeman breathed heavily. It seems he had enough trouble solving the mystery.

" It could be Gilang himself who wrote this letter. Maybe she was obsessed with you after Tiara accidentally introduced you to her" the police said.

" But." I said doubting the police's conclusion.

" But why, then,?" 

" How did he know that the day Dion came to my class I put the letter down. There must be someone who gave him the info." I said express an opinion.

The police thought back.

" Try calling the boy named Dion" the police said later. Bu Yuna immediately got up from her seat, and carried out the police order.

" In this case, anyone can be a suspect," 

That cop's speech made my blood rustle. Why did he suspect Dion. That doesn't make much sense. A few moments later Dion arrived.

" You're Dion, you,?" ask the cop.

" Yes sir" replied Dion.

" So you two are dating, huh,?" The policeman looked at me and Dion.

" Yes sir" Dion replied nervously.

" It's been a while, huh,?" 

" About 5 months sir," 

The policeman smiled wryly. 

" You remind me of my past. I also had a boyfriend at school, but unfortunately our relationship did not last long because he cheated on me with my best friend" the police officer chuckled.

The teachers who heard the laughing heard the police's useless babble. 

The atmosphere that had been tense was a little more relaxed. 

" Ok we go on, why so discuss my ex yes," said the police.

" Can't move on yet sir from his ex" Bu Yuna chimed in.

Laughter was heard again, so I relaxed a little.  But when the policeman returned to serious mode, the surrounding aura suddenly returned gripping.
