Erlo sat with her lesion on the bench alone, as her best friend was still in the police station, probably. Little whispers rang through his ears, he knew what his friends were talking about.
"Bored.."
The word kept spinning around in his head, his face looking extremely unfriendly. Almost 1 hour Erlo just sat waiting in silence the lecturer who would teach him came. Someone walked up to him, He was sitting next to Erlo who was still unaware of his presence.
"When is this boredom gone"
Erlo continued to complain in her heart. Before long, as he shifted his gaze to the other side, he only realized the presence of someone sitting beside him.
"Dispose your heart to the sea, ac.eth.." His latitude, made the person beside him throw a mocking smile.
"The sea?" Ask that person, the person who is also a noble.
"Huhh, you Sank, why sit beside me" he said.
"My name isn't Sank but Fran, Franden Aihara Jinkan is ok" Clearly making Erlo a little embarrassed.
"I know, joking around" Ngeles, Erlo got a little bad mood after talking to a man named Fran, the man who helped them in a class.
"You went to the police station last night?" Ask, pulling Erlo into a serious talk. Although he saw Erlo's slightly surprised reaction, his face seemed unsatisfied.
How does he know I'm there. Erlo wondered.
"Wouldn't answer?" Asked Fran who was still not in response, he saw clearly the caution of his interlocutor.
He cleared his throat "He was arrested because he was right at the scene of the murder" Fran said. He tried to lure Erlo with delicious bait but, there was no response yet.
At the murder site? it's not like he was robbed Erlo thought.
"Erlo, you want to know one thing?" Even if he knew, this would be ignored.
"Haris, take a bet on who the perpetrator of the sadistic murder is" Fran said again.
Although still silent but clearly Erlo's eyes radiate curiosity.
Harris? taking bets? ahh.. This is more confusing, this person is lying or really know that?... Erlo
He actually does not believe in Fran who was his rival in the school in fighting for the Popular Student Degree. They met again at the same lecture, so it was only natural that Erlo was reluctant to listen to the words of her rival.
even so, Fran continued to talk.
"We nobles are threatened because of the killer, even though the average victim is a class C noble" he said then he stood up from the bench walking away from Erlo with a face full of mystery.
After hearing the plausible explanation Fran Erlo began to be interested in hearing.
But
What happened instead Erlo silent a thousand languages, he wanted to believe but hesitated, wanted to talk but hindered his bad mood, all wrong.
"Hah Erlo is stupid, why don't you know anything about this"
Ruffling her own hair.

Flasbacks
The night Erlo went to the police station.
On the way, the streets of QOINZE at night are still quite dense even though the lights are very beautiful and captivate anyone who looks at them. He was not with Ziri as his father said it turned out ..
In the car, Ziri had just sat in the driver's seat. Erlo who was already inside felt somewhat annoyed.
"Why long?" tanyanya.
"I was doing a job from your father"
Erlo gave a small sigh.
"Ziri, you know, I don't like being bullied, so let me go alone, then I'll pick you up at the usual place I tell you to wait ok, walk" he ordered.
Ziri could only obey.
And that's why he ended up alone in the car, breaking his own father's rules.
Erlo was a little riled up, she could not calm down, her head was filled with a very agonizing question.
"Haris, what's going on?"
___
He was standing right in front of the police who were handling Haris' case. With a heart he vent his curiosity to the police with Aslan's identification.
"Sir, where is my friend now?" Erlo asked with a worried tone. The policeman looked at Erlo, and his hand hinted Erlo to sit down. Seeing that Erlo was forced to follow his rules, he endured the emotional turmoil within him.
"Emh .. You who is he?"
Erlo looked at the policeman, he sighed softly.
"I'm his friend"
Aslan considered Erlo's words, his hand seemed to touch his chin like an intelligent person.
"He's fine, I can't tell you more" Aslan said.
Erlo was upset and angry, she couldn't stem her curiosity.
"Sir, why did he enter the police station? Why do you look so playful!!" hit the table hard enough with a flushed, angry face.
"Actually, your friend named Haris was only a little involved, satisfied" Aslan very gently answered Erlo's rude question, he knew his position was just an ordinary person while his interlocutor was a noble.
"engaged? Let me talk to him directly"
Aslan could not speak anymore, he did not know what to say, his request was released in his authority.
"Why silence? You know me, and you evacuated me and my friend at the hotel, don't you remember? I appreciate you because I seem to have just met you, Why don't you trust me?"
Aslan was attacked with Erlo's true statement and could not be denied.
"Maybe my friend is trapped, the nobility has a lot of money, you know for yourself a lot of money in this world, so he could be accused or asked forcibly by criminals" Assumption is confident.
Aslan grew more silent, Erlo kept urging him to let her meet her sidekick. As Aslan was trapped in the void of words, someone with a sturdy body approached them, patting Erlo's tense shoulder due to her overflowing emotions. Erlo turned her brown marbles on the guy.
"Erlo??" Said the man surprised.
"Sister Jarden?" Also surprised.
Aslan just looked in wonder, he had not been able to digest what had just happened this way.
"So, you're the same fuss as Aslan?"
Erlo nodded.
"Why come here?"
"Haris said to enter the police station here, can I meet her brother Jarden" Pinta Erlo a little hearty. Jarden thought for a moment, his eyes seemed to doubt Erlo's condition to accept his decision, because he was clearly in a mess.
"Haris can't be found yet, he's still in the interrogation room, it's going to take a while. Because he's a nobleman, you know that's Erlo?" He refused Erlo's request.
Still, this handsome guy could not accept Jarden's explanation.
"5 minutes, can't you? Why is he?" Erlo kept pressing with her question. Jarden smiled amusedly, he also held his stomach that felt hairy.
"You're a troublesome cousin" Laughing, "Erlo you're not a child, you should be able to read the situation here" he continued chuckling.
Erlo is getting upset, she knows that she acts like a child, but there are friends who are not worried about her friend, especially when they know she is at the police station, faced with exhausting questions.
"Sister, why did he come in here?" Erlo asked in a high enough tone, Jarden stopped joking with him who was already impatient.
"He was robbed, the criminal was arrested, but there must be a process that must be completed and he can come out calmly" Jarden explained slightly exasperated.
Erlo is forced to accept the fact that she can't see her friend, to make sure that she's okay with her own eyes.
"Thank you!!" His words were rude and then came out of the police station with an even fiery heart.
***
In light of the events of the night, Erlo regains emotion, her attempts at lying to both her parents are futile, especially when she sells her bidadinari's name as a reinforcement. He was getting upset and angry, sitting in class without a lecturer added to his mood. Then he unconsciously walked over to Fran who was fishing for him a few minutes ago, although he did not look like Fran but for the sake of information he threw away the taste.
"Tell me about Haris" Open Erlo to Fran who drowned her head on the table. Hearing Erlo's voice he held his body slowly and looked at the brown marbles with a mocking look.
"You've caught Erlo" he said, grinning.

What exactly do I not know? Haris was my best friend from childhood, but why is it like he has a thousand secrets from me. Can I keep believing it? Or am I trying to betray him? That wasn't me.
Erlo.
