Zombies

10: Madison

Morning brings cold air. The ground still looks moist, with wet foliage covered in dew.

Nanda, who was casually standing in front of the fence of her house, was wearing a jacket while playing mobile phone. Waiting for the picker while killing time. Anyway, the atmosphere this morning was very pleasant. Some neighbors who come out to start the activity often greet him, smile and invite chat. But if no one says hello, Nanda will duck, re-scrolling some of the news online that is available geratis.

His father, last night, left. Ordering a night flight to make Mama, now exhausted from having to date her husband all day, then go to the airport until late at night.

"It turns out you woke up early," when Ganesha came with his duck bike, the figure commented while handing the helmet to Nanda.

Nanda smiled proudly. "Woiya dong, since when did I wake up during the day?" he said while wearing a helmet and sitting behind Ganesha.

"Where is your order?" Ganesha did not leave immediately, instead, the teenager turned his head back. It's rude to leave without saying goodbye.

"Why?"

"Yes, please."

Nanda grunts amusedly. "No need to put on a goodbye ah, leave from dalen ati."

Ganesha's eyebrows are adrift. That made Nanda sigh. "My dad's been pegi, Mama's soy sauce, so haven't woken up yet."

"Go?"

"Ho.oh, that's why Mama's ketchup now."

Ganesha immediately felt guilty. Tiredness? Is your mom too tired to work? She found out that Nanda's mother was a single parent. Recalling back to the photos on that wall, it seemed, Father Nanda left not too long ago?

"Sorry," the young man muttered lowly. "Lo and I must be lonely."

It is fitting that her mother arranged such a photo .. is not it in memory of her husband? Showing that during her husband's life, they were a happy family?

Nanda's confused. Why is this kid suddenly apologizing? His tone was also suddenly strange. "No, I'm normal, Mama what else."

Seeing Ganesha not talking back but still not running his bike, Nanda laughed and patted the young man on the shoulder. "Come on Ojek! We go!"

"... ."

Ganesha made no comment and ran his bike.

During the trip, just like yesterday, no one was chatting between them. Nanda was busy looking at the street, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of life without killing.

The morning air hit him, the road was quite crowded but not jammed. It made Nanda drown in his mind.

When riding a bus or even on foot, his alertness tends to increase. The crowd didn't make her safe, that's why every time she came home, Nanda tended to get tired due to her strained nerves.

However, it had already been a week and he was already getting used to this serene environment. Although still a bit uncomfortable if you have to cram, at least until now, he can still control his reflexes well.

While Nanda was thinking about some things, on the other hand, Ganesha felt somewhat uneasy. Nanda used to be very chatty, but this time it was completely silent. It made him feel guilty. Oh, shouldn't he be talking about his dad?

A girl will be closer to her father and son, will be closer to her mother.

Nanda is obviously close to her father, right? This girl is always cheerful, chatty and full of smiles. Suddenly he was more silent. Drowning in his mind and definitely .. misses his father terribly. What memories came to Nanda's mind?

Yet Nanda did not dare to show that pitiful longing. He will always smile, hide the pain suffered so as not to find a look of sympathy or even pity from anyone.

Really, Ganesha did not know what kind of mood he had to describe this morning. He is used to the chatty and expressive Nanda, not the silent and moody Nanda. Oh, how did he get back the old Nanda?

A pair of people, sitting on a motorbike together, were clearly in a different brain frequency.

When Ganesha and Nanda arrive at school, no one realizes they are together other than Mr. Badin, the school security guard. How else would you like? The school is being burned by the hot news!

When Nanda walked into her class, some of the friends who had already come directly attracted her with impatient expressions.

"Lo ngaku's. Actually, the Journalist Group, the girls hate Luna, right?"

"Eh?" Nanda frozen. His brain feels empty. Suddenly, he felt like he was forgetting something.

"Luna's photo of her falling in the pool in the group this morning! There are also photos in the school!"

Within seconds, his body was stiff, well aware of what was happening. The events that yesterday made him uneasy, now began.

Oho! It is only fitting that since on the motorbike, the phone does not stop vibrating!

Without saying anything, Nanda put her bag on the desk and ran out of the classroom. It went straight to a rather crowded school. Some of the students gathered, staring at an interesting photo printed the size of a4.

A beautiful little figure was seen there. Sitting by the pool with a young man in a suit who was seen trying to help him stand up. The girl's long hair is wet and looks tangled, the makeup worn faded to form a terrible face. White evening dress becomes transparent, visible form a red bra and CD worn.

Other than embarrassing and pitiful words, there was nothing left.

Nanda's eyebrows are adrift. His lips were tightly clenched. This bad image clearly contains a negative stigma.

Although sad, but the photo where the body looks 'naked' is not something that can be exhibited in public like this. After all, it was not art or even beauty. This is just a humiliation with the aim of dropping.

"GIRST!"

A voice full of emotions to succeed made the commotion created even more boisterous. However, Nanda's heart felt melos when he heard the sound. He looked around and found an explosion of pain hitting his heart.

The King's face flushed in anger. He encouraged those who stood in his way and indiscriminately tried to draw pictures that were in the iron bars of the mading.

That act is anarchist. Like a beast that had just been released from a cage. Full of anger to make people around him afraid.

Nanda took a deep breath, then exhaled. The tightness was still felt, but at least he was still thinking clearly. The anger was very disturbing to him. Oh, you already know this is going to happen and know how the King reacts, why do you still feel uncomfortable?

Nanda smiled bitterly. The Boss he knew was always calm, cold, heartless. But look at this face .. ah already.

Nanda grabbed her phone, then immediately called her underclassman.

"Waah .. tumben sister nelfon early in the morning, what's up, sister?" a woman's voice sounded. Very friendly and clearly looks happy.

"Your mading keys are holding, right?" Nanda did not want to mince words, going straight to the main point when he heard the voice.

"Eh? Not in Diana Kak, the key is still held by the son of OSIS."

Nanda's eyebrows are adrift. "Is there a chairperson of OSIS?"

"Yes, brother."

Nanda turned off the phone and called Alex. Alex, former chairman of OSIS. He still has a good relationship with his juniors.

No need to wait long, the phone is immediately lifted.

"What's Ndut? Tumben very early in the morning nelfon. I'm on the road again."

"Seek the head of OSIS who is now coming to me."

"Huh?"

"Don't pack it, I have important business."

A few seconds quiet. Alex did not immediately respond, then heard a sigh. "Well, I'm calling him now. I told her to go to our class."

"Son, send him to the mading, get to me. Tell him to bring the keys to the mading."

Alex really sounded confused to hear it, but did not ask and preferred to obey. Nanda no longer called, her eyes focused on the mad King.

The handsome man tried to tear the photo. He tried to gouge it out, ordering some people to pick up pliers or something. Some people help, but the rest watch.

It didn't take long, a skinny young man ran up to him. The young man's face was pale and clearly looked panicked.

"Sister, Brother Nanda-"

"Where's the key?"

"Lost Brother."

"What?" nanda's eyebrows are adrift. He looked seriously at the head of OSIS who still looked pale. Sweat drenched his temples, really looking miserable when combined with his thin body.

"Ilham doesn't know when it's coming, brother. Should have been the schedule Ilham gave the key to Diana, but it was fitting brother Alex nelfon, Ilham just realized that the key is not in the bag Ilham. It's the same with the other kids, but no one's looking."

Nanda nodded, letting the OSIS chairman run towards the teacher's room. The fat teenager also did not stay in place. He walked back to the school gate and called Alex again.

"What again? I was almost half-"

"Turn around Lex."

"Huh?"

"Don't take Luna to school."

Pause a few seconds. Nanda who has arrived at the school gate can see Alex's car suddenly marginalized from the road. No more going to school.

Luna's soft voice sounded. It was obvious why Alex had stopped, but her cousin did not respond to the question and instead asked the person who called her.

"Why?"

"Do you know Luna's photo spread in WA?"

"Know," the word that came out was heard after the sound of teeth grinding.

"The photo was taped to the mading."

".... ."

"I'll be nelfon Yulis. Go to Luna's house, digibur Luna. Honestly, tell me if the photo is already spreading. At least, for while he does not need to go to school first until calm. This matter will be taken care of by the school."

Not letting Alex comment, Nanda continued speaking. His tone was calm and patient. Spoken firmly and straightforwardly. When the fat figure finished speaking, Alex did not open his voice at all. Silence for a few seconds, before a breath could be heard.

"Gue understands," a bitter tone sounded. Clearly refraining from any whipping emotions. "Ndut, thanks. I'll take this matter to you."

Nanda laughs. "Oy, the problem is being given to school! Where do I want to go! Ngerepotin powder!"

"It's a big deal you're into cement."

"Biarin, wrong yourself why ngerepotin."

Alex finally laughed. "Temen emang there to be repotin. Masa' you don't know?"

"Oi!"

"Ahahaha yes, I went back first yes," Alex sighed. Smiling bitterly looking ahead. "One more time, thank you."

Nanda sighed. Smiling and without saying anything, turn off the phone. Clearly, he saw Alex's car back on the move. Turns in the opposite direction from the road to school.

Seeing that, Nanda hurriedly walked to the security guard post, crawling Pak Bidin who was having breakfast chicken porridge.

"Sir."

"Oh! Neng Nanda, why Neng? Bentar, bentar, you eat porridge, nanggung live in a little," the school security guards eat the porridge. A bit rushed until the white color of the porridge stuck to his thick mustache.

Nanda pouted his smile, patiently waiting until the figure was finally finished in just two mouthfuls.

"There's a Screwdriver, isn't it, sir?"

"Oh? What neng?" Mr. Bidin wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, then dumped the sterophom into the garbage can.

"Tuk mading sir, the key is missing, so it's open forcibly" Nanda exhaled. "You can help, can't you sir?"

"The key says again? Wadw ... This was difficult," Mr. Bidin grumbled, went into the post and searched around for a screwdriver and pliers, completely unaware of Nanda's change in face.

"Missed again?"

"Yes, two weeks or three weeks ago, Den Ilham also came to the father, nanyain key mading. The key there are two tuh, one has been removed ama den Ilham, if this one is also cross, no more keys, forcibly must be dismantled if it wants to be opened."

Nanda's eyebrows popped up, but he quickly changed his expression before the man realized it. "Waduh .. bothered also yes sir," he said.

"Yes Neng, really ngerepotin," Mr. Bidin agreed. "Neng Nanda wants to come with Neng?" the bargain once found some tools and had arranged them inside the black box.

Nanda grin. "Sir, Nanda wants to wait for Mama Nanda, Nanda's book misses the problem."

Mr. Badin nodded, not suspicious at all. "Yes, you go in first."

"Okay Sir!"

Just as the security guard was walking away, Nanda hurriedly walked to the school gate. He looked around, looking at some of the students who were walking closer to the school.

A few people who knew Nanda greeted, smiling kindly. Nanda responded, but always switched the conversation so that they quickly went to class. No one realized that until in the end, about a few minutes passed, a familiar figure was seen.

Nanda immediately approached the figure. Quickly withdraw his hand and walk in the opposite direction from the school towards the bus stop.

"Huh? Oy, what the hell is Ndut," Yulis grumbled, pulling his arm that was pulled around. "Lo kesambet huh? Why did I drag the"

"Pending you to Luna's house, Lis."

"Huh?"

"The photo spread in the group, it's in the mading."

"What?" yulis' body stiffened for a few seconds, then a few seconds later, the face flushed in anger. "What the fuck! Who the hell drew Luna there?!"

"Don't know," Nanda replied calmly. "Well, now that you're a princess, go to Luna's house and comfort her."

Although Yulis was on the verge of anger, but Nanda's successful speech made the beautiful teenager frown.

"Now? You told me to skip?"

"Yes ..ntar I told the teacher that you were demem, so don't go in."

Yulis shook her head. "Why is it just me? Why don't we both talk?"

Nanda pouting. "Who would lie to the teacher and say we're both sick together? Ask the King to say it? Sure the King will be in class and not in BK? Obviously he's in the picture too."

Yulis awkward. "Luna is the same as Alex? They're not in school, are they?"

"Lis, I will not tell you to go to Luna's house if they are at school" Nanda said seriously, successfully making Yulis smile clumsy. "Udah, you don't have to worry about anything. I'll tell the teacher if you're demem, about Alex and Luna, they're cousins, the teacher will also know why they didn't come in. You don't have to worry."

Yulis sighed. In the end he complied. Walk to the stop voluntarily and enter the bus towards Luna's house.

Without waiting for anyone else, Nanda turned around. Walk into school and think things through slowly. Oh, all the things the teenager did, it was less than 30 minutes. Really fast and efficient for something done spontaneously.

All the trajectories that happened, now there was no connection with him at all. In the past, Nanda incited Diana out of anger. At that time, he felt very guilty when he saw the photo and thought it was Diana. However, the girl denied. Said that the mading key was missing and he didn't do it.

Unfortunately, Nanda does not believe and that is why he feels guilty with Luna. Especially since this incident, Luna does not want to go to school anymore. The girl dropped out of school in embarrassment and she never saw Luna return.

But now it is different.

He was purely not involved at all. Diana who was summoned to BK was also good old life. Now the one who lost the key is the chairman of OSIS. Just by this point, isn't it obvious the culprit is the same person?

Nanda arrived at the class. He sat down at his desk, still smiling and laughing with his classmates. However, almost everyone has started fussing over photos. Especially the boys who commented that Luna's body is very sexy. Verbal abuse committed unconsciously it ...

Nanda inwardly sighed.

To be honest, Nanda could have helped find the person who attached the photo to the mading. There is some speculation and with just a few more clues, Nanda is confident he can figure out who did it.

Unfortunately, Nanda did not want to do it.

Nanda is not a good person who has to help everyone, especially for a girl who is clearly her love rival. Who is willing to be truly angelic hearted even to the person who always subconsciously makes you uncomfortable? After all, he and Luna were clearly not familiar.

That was why, his way just now, just because he could not bear to see Boss' expression. If it wasn't because he didn't want to see the King comfort Luna in front of his own eyes, he wouldn't have kicked Alex out of school. Nor would he send Yulis to console Luna so that the King would be more restrained and calm.

Well ... he did all this for himself. He wanted to keep his feelings, as well as slightly repay the kindness of Boss who had been protecting him for years. He does not intend to be a third person or even betrayal when obviously already have a girlfriend.

Nanda again sighed in his heart. Oh, really. He didn't like the feeling of being entangled like this.
