BLOOD PASSAGE
Longest Time

"Sri weningsih. The 2001 force. A student who is much valued by other students at school, even children from other schools often take the time or even skip school to see someone named sri weningsih. Not only is she beautiful but she is also very smart and talented. He always won first place in his class until he finally got a reward for all his achievements, namely getting a scholarship to continue his education outside the city. After the day he heard that the scholarship was open, he left. Along with the construction of a new building in the school kita”

I stopped telling stories, and stared at lira and brother kevin alternately. They just fell silent while continuing to shower inquisitive gazes at me.

“That's all I know. About his death I still can't see, there's only gray and dark if I try to trace the cause of what got him killed or maybe killed myself”

Kevin nodded while the lira just sat down on the chair near the bed occupied by kevin.

“I.. I know the guy”

The sound of the lira made me and brother kevin successfully round my eyes, and stared at the lira full of explanation.

“What you know. Tell the. So that this problem can be completed”

Lira nodded, after closing her eyes for a long time she began to tell stories.

“His mother used to work at my parents' house. Baliau is a good person when he finishes his work at home he will go to my room and help me with my duties. From our togetherness that often confided in each other, I learned that he had a child named sri weningsih, he used to call his son wening. He also had time to show a photo of his son who was none other than sri weningsih, wening it was very beautiful. Her wavy black hair and white skin were the main points of self sri weningsih. I also had a chance to see the beautiful lionton he was wearing around his neck. It was the last day that she worked at home after hearing the news that her son had died and his body was not found”

I looked at the lira, her face showing sorrow.

“Then, do you know the home of parents sri weningsih?”

I tried to ask in slow intonation, trying not to tear down the lira's self-defense. At first he nodded and went back to silence.

“Bu Anih now lives in her house with her husband whom I know is a fisherman. That's what mom told me after mom resigned from her job at home. Address in cambodia 12”

I nodded, I had heard the name of the place from the talk of my father and mother, when my father went along with other building lecturers to complete the construction project there.

“So her name is sri weningsih. I don't know what could have caused him to get killed or maybe even get lost. But maybe it all had something to do with the deaths of five girls that happened this morning. Plus the death of sister renata”

Kevin's sister echoed her voice in the white room that made me and the lira shut up to hear her sentence.

“Then what will we do to investigate it sis?”

Lira looked expectantly at Kevin's brother, perhaps in his mind it was no more the same as what I was thinking right now.

“After I recover we will go to the house of the person who used to work at your house. Maybe talking a little with her parents we are able to trace little by little the events in the past that are related to the death of the female student mentioned earlier. I will invite all the members to go there, because if we only go three, I feel bad with the other members. While we are in the same team”

Me and the lira just nodded and a few minutes after the state of the room was gone, brother kevin and dion came with a full bag of food in each hand, that afternoon, Lira and I spent some time in the hospital.

...

“Bi, do you think we go to the house buih anih it's a good idea?”

Lira came up to me while giving me a bottle of cold drink.

“Entah lira. But I hope our arrival there won't be in vain. Hopefully we can get the infromation we need”

Lira nodded and sat down on her living room sofa.

Lira laughed after blurting out that sentence to me. The sound of his laughter echoed in his large house which was dominated by white shades.

“I am also grateful after knowing you lira. You're a friend who doesn't see how bad it is to be someone like me, doesn't look at me with a look that's like saying stars are crazy for talking to themselves and smiling and getting angry. Or some other strange thing. You accept me as a precious friend that is one of the things I am very grateful for”

Lira laughed again. While I just looked at him in wonder, is there any humor that I put into my words I don't think. But, why did the lira become like this after hearing the sentence I said.

“You must be wondering why I laughed, just like Bintang”

I nodded as the lira immediately stopped laughing and looked at me.

“Your expression is very funny bi, coupled with your words that say you often chat alone, smile and angry yourself. That's a funny weird thing. So, it has been proven that you are only friends with astral beings. And I became your first friend it was a happiness”

First best friend? No, lira is my second friend in the real world because in the first position filled by beautiful.

“But surely you had a hard day at your school bi. Plus our thoughts that at that time did not really understand how difficult it is to live in such circumstances. And they're moving away from you”

I smiled and looked back at the bottle I was holding.

“Rather than being sad back then I was just disappointed. When I needed one of them to get to me, it was the harsh words I got. Not only that they often report me to teachers who teach me that I scare them. Though I only tried to warn them not to be harmed by the actions of astral beings who have evil type”

“Basic kids-bocah”

I smile back. The boys. Though we are the same age as to why the lira should call him a boy.

“Because of his thoughts are still childish even though they are already in the stage or phase of facing a teenage star”

I nodded as the lira knew exactly what I was thinking and without needing to ask she had answered my question.

“I want us to pack from now”

“For what”

Lira got up from her seat and I was still glued to my place.

“Because we will be on vacation at home bu anih”

“Kak kevin does not invite us to spend the night there lira, we will only go there” for a while

The lira just shook her head, while I still stared in wonder at her.

“Easy, if they want to go home please just but we both have to stay a few days at home bu anih”

And all I can do to respond to the unexpected that the lira says is a headband.
