GROWINGS
37

Inu panicked not to play when he woke up and did not see Dafa in his room, nor in the kitchen below. Even after he looked for it wherever he was, he could not find that figure either.

His textbooks and some of his clothes were still left in his room. But backpacks, shoes, a light blue sweater with a picture of a dolphin, are not in the usual place where Dafa puts it.

According to Mr. Usman's confession, Dafa left early this morning in a black sedan car. But Mr. Usman can't figure out who took him away.

Upon returning to his room, Inu only realized there was a piece of paper stuck in his refrigerator.

A piece of paper with that somewhat ruffled Dafa script...

'I'm on vacation first. So please don't look for me. Mr. Inu don't keep getting sick, yeah..!'

Inu really could not understand the way his student's mind. Where did Dafa go and what does it mean to leave this note?

"Dafa went on vacation?!!" Eka glared instead of playing when she heard the speech of her homeroom teacher.

"Did Dafa not say anything to you?" Inu asked the five teenagers.

"Ngebales chat in any Dafa group ever, sir.." Julian.

"Yes, Mr. Inu. We always expected him to be in the group. But yeah like that" Sheila chimed in.

One day passed... Two days passed... Four days passed...

Inu has also contacted Mbok Parni. But the waiter at the Dafa house said that Anindita and Danu have been busy recently taking care of their marriage. So there is a possibility that even Dafa seems to come with his mother.

If this is the case, then Inu can breathe a sigh of relief and do not have to worry about it.

"Sir Inu is very pale?" Said Ms. Fatma worried to see the change of her colleagues seprofesi.

"It should be that Mr. Inu is still sick, do not force to go to school.." Timpal Bu Nuriyanti's.

"I've been kind of fine." Sahut Inu fast. "Have you heard from Dafa?"

All his colleagues shook their heads. Because none of them knows the existence of Dafa at this time.

"Nobody knows where Dafa goes, either.." Bu Nuriyanti said as she looked at the five teenagers who were sitting on the edge of the field...

"Ehh, you guys still want to?" Tukas Eka suddenly.

"What target, Ka?" Sheila looked at her best friend.

"That Dafa was said at that time..."

"About?" Julian's forehead is wrinkled.

"Sir Inu loh..."

"But Inu why?" Gabriel was curious.

"You guys feel weird, aren't you the same Mr Inu?"

Tita shakes. Then she followed Sheila.

"Let's see, Mr. Inu's motorbike..."

Only the four teenagers understood a little, where Eka's talk led.

"Although I don't understand automotive, but I know that big motorbike must be expensive.."

"That's great!" Gabriel chiming. "Samsung Galaxy Note 8 the same samsung gear used by Mr. Inu is also expensive..!"

"Where did Mr Inu get the money from?" Eka was really curious about her homeroom teacher. Moreover, a few days yesterday Inu also had not entered due to illness and even had to enter the hospital all.

Wwwuuzzz...!!

The cold wind blew not only on them. But also fly dry leaves that fall near them.

Even so tight gusts of wind that, to slam the door and windows in the school.

"Kinno..?" Eka reflexes mention the name, when he saw a handsome guy with an oriental face that knew already standing near them.

"If you want to make a fuss, you better get out of it!"

"Julian, please..." Sheila calmed her best friend down.

"I--" Kinno looks really clumsy. "Is Dafa there?"

"Sweet, good acting as well.."

"Julian...!" Eka glaring.

Now replace the glaring Kinno. "Dafa didn't come in?! Is he sick?!"

"Well, isn't he leaving with his mother?" Eka asked back.

Kinno shook his head quickly. "Dafa never returned home though..!"

"What's so weird, huh...?" Eka scratched her head.

"Not strange either time, Ka." Julian responded casually. "You don't know Dafa. Maybe he's on vacation again. Same Grandma Stevie probably.."

"Good morning, kids..."

The six teenagers turned to the source of the voice. And how their reaction was very surprised by the presence of the old grandmother with the two pet cats.

"GRANNY.. !!" They all scream. Then exchange views with each other.

"It's nice to see you guys get together like you are today.."

"Grandma--" Sheila looked timid.

"What's up, Sheila?"

"There's something I want to ask --"

The old grandmother smiled. Then knock the stick twice on the ground.

"Sorry Sheila, grandma's not here to answer your questions or anyone else's..."

"You know him?" Kinno swallowed. His tongue was heavy when he said that sentence.

"This may be a warning to you --"

The six teenagers were slipping. I don't know why their feeling got so bad.

"If you think I'm a powerful being capable of anything, then you're wrong." The old granny reached into something from inside her thick jacket pocket. "You're the only ones who can keep looking after and protecting her.." Apparently the old grandmother took out a sprig of red roses that had withered and dried.

"What is the person that grandmother meant by that - Dafa?" Sheila braved herself.

"Dafa is definitely the one, right, Grandma?!! She must be the one that Grandma meant!!" Eka is getting emotional.

"One by one of you -- why do you have to do it?"

"Our answer, grandma!!" Eka's voice was rising.

"Don't I ever tell you to never hurt her feelings as much as a dust grain? But why are you doing it...?"

"Grandmother, we never hurt her!! Please don't take Dafa away from us..!" Tita finally spoke.

"In the end the light will dim and dim. And before it finally goes out -- you take good care of the light.."

The old grandmother threw the withered rose high.

"And you're Kinno, be careful..."

Kinno's body shook violently. He stared at the old grandmother's face 

"You'll never know which is the enemy and which is the friend-"

Then Kinno's eyeball rolled to the five people nearby.

"You and he were actually always meant to be together. And you know, Kinno..?"

"Dafa-William..."

The old grandmother gave a faint smile.

"So-them-the-"

"Only death can separate the two of you. Then take good care of him before the time and fate play games with you both..."

Wuuuzzzz....!!

The strong wind again blew. Fly dry leaves around them.

"You better get ready for the day, kids...!!"
