This Is It?

This Is It?
Chapter 30: The Investigation



Andy's behavior is like investigating me. It's obvious that lately he's been wanting to go wherever I go. Whereas before, he was quite ignorant with my steps.


Andy's weirdness immediately prompted me to investigate him back. I got carried away curious about the motives and things he knew about me. Is there some kind of conspiracy he's hiding? Ah, I suspect Ardi revealed his identity to Andy.


However, Andy once told me that he and Bagas were close friends. Therefore, my suspicions are well-founded and possible.


Ah, shithead! The conclusion I got actually led me to a new mystery. Like a snowball, the more it rolls the bigger it is.


Get out of the car, I feel like I need coffee. Then I walked to the cafeteria. Sleepiness mixed tired blotting in the body. Last night I had trouble sleeping because the mind was wandering in an uncertain direction.


Halfway through, I saw Adisty walking alone. As soon as I approached him. I'm the important thing I need to hold you accountable. Yeah, related to the shoot the other day.


I tried to call him, but never responded. In the faculty he was like disappearing in the sky.


“Kak,” my handkerchief while touching his shoulder.


He turned his body. It was obvious that the look was tense on his face when he saw me.


“Ba…. Ba…. Bagasses. Hi, how are you?” his voice was in tune with his expression.


I tighten my face. I looked at him with a bit of cynicism.


“Em... about... about yesterday's photo shoot, I'm really sorry, Gas. I have no evil intentions with you. I'm clammy. I need money to take my father's medication. Later soon I change kok,” he said memelas.


It was as if he could read my mind. However, his statement quite frowned.


“Honestly, I didn't expect. I guess...” I said with a slow tempo. I lured him to tell me more.


Adisty took both my hands. “I'm sorry, Gas. I promoted you to be a photo of an adult magazine model because I no longer know how to get money. I thought you would want to.” His eyes began to be covered with water. “I'm sorry, too, for not answering your phone and chat bales. I was confused again being chased by the man to make back the money I had received from him.”


Adisty oh Adisty! If you need money, you should tell me right away, no need to trap me with a fake photo shoot.


Regardless of his words being honest or not, I undo my intention to scold Adisty. I just became sorry for him. At least, I know what it's like to be in a state of financial deprivation.


Sometimes my feelings are hard to understand. Nevermind! Adisty's not my target either.


"I don't have a problem. But I hope Brother...."


“Huh, perverted basis!” The air rumbles down my ears to scuttle the sentence I want to say.


I turned my gaze around to find the source of the sound. Apparently, from the faculty garden.


Before seeing the cause of the crowd in the park, I returned my eyes to Adisty. But he left in a hurry. I feel like I'm playing Russian Roulette. Everyone around me is unpredictable in their roles, whether they are protagonists, antagonists, or tirtagonists.


“Basic freakish man! Pantes aja attitude like a zombie, it turns out his mind dirty. Mesum!” hajat a woman from my class.


I know my friends' vocals. The question is, to whom is this blasphemy given?


“Enough! Don't indiscriminately accuse people without proof!” Sounds Mutia giving a defense.


I hastened my steps. Suddenly my eyes became fresh without the need to sip coffee.


Arriving at the park, I saw Ardi as a beleaguered criminal. He gets a tissue toss and an empty plastic bottle. As I suspected, the pain was the poor Kunyuk.


However, the presence of Mutia who fortified Ardi made me feel tight. It looks like a female superhero.


“Your kayaks don't pantes are here. Shame and make fret!” another woman shouted denouncing Ardi's whereabouts.


I was in the back row trying to guess. Could it be that the scene that is presented is the fruit of the hand actions of Tommy, Revan, and Leo?


“Gas, this is a greeting for Kunyuk,” whispered Leo from behind.


He came with my two other soldiers. “OK. But what really happened?”


Leo led me to look at his phone screen. Plastered some pictures about the condition of the Ardi boarding house. Leo used a new number to share the apparition in Ardi's boarding house with all of his classmates, except me, he said.


I still don't understand. Then, Leo zooms in on the stretched photo.


Damnit damnit! That's mine. I mean, just a magazine. As for the doll, I don't know where it came from.


Then in the next photo, there is a collection of pictures of the women of my classmates. Everything is sculpted on the wall near the closet, like a material to fantasize when libido increases.


No. gabe. Again, mine's just a magazine. As a man heading into adulthood, it is natural to occasionally copulate with illusions to test the quality of my might? Ah, sorry! I told you a little bit to show you I'm a normal guy.


I turned my attention back to the Kunyuk who was being bullied. Leave it! I pretended to close my eyes. What I helped him for.


“You should have sympathy for Ardi. Indirectly, this is a warning that there are people who are so sneaky into Ardi's room, and committed a violation of privacy,” exclaimed Mutia.


“Ooh, Mutia! Your photo is in the slum's fantasy material, and you're telling him he's an activist. Emang you're not afraid, suddenly he bergebius you continue to bring you to his boarding house. I'm terrible dear the Slum who turned out to be a predator,” about Dita pitched mock, “Or lest you ever ‘dipake’ with him, so you belain him. Is that the plot twist?”


I didn't realize Dita was infiltrating my classmate's ranks. But what I highlighted, his words sounded so paradoxical in my mind. I'm glad he added the Nestapa spice to Ardi. However, there was a feeling of tightness as he humbled mutia.


Uh! Mutia is no longer my dream girl. Leave it! I better enjoy this spectacle.


Before long, I saw Andy walking from the opposite side. Though I was feeling the excitement of watching Ardi bow down without a face.


Andy's steps are getting closer. I quickly broke through the crowd and stood in front of friends like a conductor.


“Bubar, disperse!” throw me out by shouting. “No pantes you guys do this kind of bullying. Come, disperse! We are here to gain knowledge, improve morals, not degrade the dignity and dignity of our own friends,” I said like an accomplished orator.


Friends also resigned. Indeed, the charisma and prestige of Bagas need not be doubted.


Remaining me, the Kunyuk, the Activist, and the Angel Soul. I admit the atmosphere is quite awkward.


“Lu's okay, Di?" ask pleasantries.


He raised his head, then looked at me sharply. I smile to avenge the intimidation he tried to subdue.


Oughh! Si Kunyuk walked past me while gritting his shoulder with my shoulder. He was as if giving a signal to start using the physique in this battle. Unfortunately, a king would not go down the mountain as long as his knights were still quite formidable and quite reliable.


Mutia followed Ardi. Good riddance! Too long staring at him made my heart ache gape back.


“Hai, Dy! We go to class directly yuk!” take me.


“What really happened? Does it have anything to do with you, Gas?” ask her with a firm voice.


“What do you mean, Dy? Why is every Ardi scorned or bullied by friends, your negative thoughts point to me?” I dramatized things a little. Then I'll leave Andy.


Andy pulled the shoulder off my shirt. “Gas, I feel like there's something you're hiding from me. Your attitude and behavior these few days is quite strange for me.”


I'm Andy's spotter. “Who is really weird? Me or you? Shouldn't I be the one who said that strange thing was you? Said you were my best friend from Junior High, you know me well. But, why have your thoughts about me been filled with suspicion lately? Weird, right? Yep. Make me, you're also weird, Dy.”


Andy was silent when I redirected his statement. However, I was a little overwhelmed by this scene. I hope there's no camera recording my argument with Andy. Maybe he and I are trending on social media with colorful hashtags.


I'm leaving Andy. He seemed to be struck back by my words. Over time, I felt Andy's presence could be a hindrance to my plans.


Time goes by pretty fast when happy ambushes. The Kunyuk may be lamenting the sadness and looking for a mask to cover his face. It is unimaginable that I am treated like that. Maybe I ran into the woods, and then begged Tarzan to stay the night.


Ardi and Mutia did not attend the two courses presented today. Maybe they are channeling their spirits with each other.


No. gabe. Oh, thoughts! Why lead to things that arouse pain in the heart?


Papa called me so I could hurry to the office. My plan to reward Leo, Tommy, and Revan's hard work was delayed. Their loyalty deserves a lot of appreciation.


I turn the wheel while turning on the upbeat music. However, my eyes caught two women standing familiarly in front of the minimarket across the campus.


Dita and Metha. They licked the ice cream while throwing laughter at each other. I'm trying to observe their lips. Unfortunately, my position that was blocked by the vehicle was enough to make me have trouble translating their conversation.


Should I go down to eavesdrop on them? Can't do. Papa's name flashes back on my phone screen. That is, I should immediately step on the gas deeper.


Huh! I thought they were in opposition, it turns out they might be in a coalition. Okay, Dita! Look forward to my false love attack. I hate being tricked.
