After school I went to band practice with Danu and Dion. The three of us took extracurricular music. While Arden and his friends choose sports. Basketball is their choice. It just so happens that tomorrow there's an art show at school. All will show the performance of each with different talents. Especially the art kids. Start music, dance area, modern dance and many others.
Eight o'clock in the evening we finished training. It's been almost two weeks, they always come home at night. Now, taking a break, we sit in the music room, and discuss the preparation of tomorrow's plan. Me, Danu, Dion, Tomi and Raka formed a band called Lolipop Band. Shortly into Billy, our senior, and also in charge of the band. Billy's been guiding us for the past few days. He was one of the most famous band boys in the school with a lot of talent. Even his achievements have already made the name of the school. Billy chose to sit next to me. It makes me a little bit angry. Billy showed that he was interested in me. Billy gave us some encouragement to be more confident and look stunning tomorrow. Several times Billy's attitude is getting sicker. Even Billy doesn't hesitate to embrace me.
"Sorry, don't do that. Not good with others," I said trying to be friendly, but at the same time brushed off Billy's hand. I clenched my jaw, holding back my emotions. If only I couldn't hold back my emotions, I'd hit him.
Suddenly a woman appears beside Billy. My forehead creased as I stared at the side next to Billy. He's dressed up in SMU like us. This time I saw the woman. This makes me curious. Billy was in our midst for a few days. Danu looked at me and Billy took turns. It seems like he realized that I had been very careless with the man's attitude all this time. Billy is Tomy's cousin. So, I have to be really patient. If it wasn't for Tomy, maybe Billy would've been battered by me.
After the discussion, we will be home soon. Billy came back to me.
"Sorry, Brother. I've been picked up by Brother Arden," I refused subtly as I continued to walk out of the schoolyard. The figure of the woman also continues to follow Billy, this makes me really uncomfortable. I want to get away from that impromptu stalker guy. The reason I made earlier spontaneously flashed in my head. Though Kak Arden himself was away with his mother, and I am now in a dilemma. Danu and Dion stopped near the school gate. They seem to understand that I need help.
"Tha? Arden hasn't come yet?" danu asked stalely, glancing at Billy who was standing next to me. Dion who also saw it then came down from the bonnet of Danu's motorbike.
"Want me to call Arden, Tha?" Dion grabbed his phone and pressed a few buttons. Arden's number is off. I know, 'cause he said his cell phone battery ran out when he got home from school. I looked at Dion expectantly." How's it?" I was hoping Arden's phone was on. Dion just shook his head slowly, so as not to be seen by Billy.
"Duh," I murmured slowly.
"I'm anther, Tha. Wait a minute," said Billy running into the school about to pick up his car, but not until Billy entered, there was a motorbike stopped next to Danu's motorbike.
"Wooo! Radite!" exclaimed Danu then they both shook hands ala-ala men in general. "Yes, we are friends until Arden comes," said Danu and then took off his helmet.
"Remain you, Dit?" dion asked, drawing closer to Radit. While Aretha was just silent with the occasional staring at the clock on the wrist.
"Fetch Aretha," Radit's sergeant looked at Billy, as if he knew what was going on, "Yuk, Tha!"
I glanced at Billy, then took a deep breath. There is a little relief in my heart. Relieved because apart from real beings as well as invisible eyes that are near me. "I go first, brother," I said, glancing at the woman. I don't know who that woman is. His face was unfamiliar, but why did he keep clinging to Billy. While Billy continues to stare cynically at me and Radit who is preparing to leave.
"First, gaes!" radit said then turned on the motor.
"Be careful, Dit. Aretha ... tight grip. Radit if you ride a demon-rich motorcycle!" exclaimed Dion while laughing and then went up to the Danu motorbike. "Bill, yes first," said Danu. Billy who was left alone did not say anything. Just staring at them with revenge. Especially me and Radit.
"Kok you can pick me up, Dit?" ask when they're on their way.
"You don't come home every day last night, Arden said he wanted to stop Mother, right? I thought you must have come home alone, pity that later the girl was kidnapped kalongwewe. So I'm fucking here. Uh really, wanted to be kidnapped by a handsome pretender," said Radit with a big laugh, then I pinched his waist.
When I got home, I just got home. Radit got off the bike, then greeted me for a bit.
"Almost a minute, Radit boy. Let's have a quick coffee," take me a little pushy. Radit is also resigned. I immediately made two cups of coffee. Father and Radit who were involved in small talk in the living room occasionally let out a laugh that sounded until my room. I just changed my clothes and prayed isya, after making coffee earlier of course. Out of curiosity, I walked out of the room to join the two men outside. Arden and Mother are not back yet.
"Not sleeping, Nduk?" ask me when I see you coming out of the room.
"A minute, Dad," I said without taking my eyes off the flat object in my hand, and then sat down next to my father.
"About Radit .." Daddy's joke, deliberately mocked me. I whined and then acted spoiled, which made Radit continue to pout lips. I rarely act spoiled. And now I'm free to do this in front of Radit. This is my habit of being with my dad. There was no feeling of contempt for the figure of this man beside me.
Gawaiku. There's a message coming in from Danu.
[Tha, you have to be careful with Billy. If you can keep your distance. I just heard back, she had a boyfriend, and her boyfriend is missing, so far, he hasn't been found. Name's Friska. People suspect Billy is the culprit, but the case is closed because there is not enough evidence.]
Instantly my feelings raged. I immediately remembered the figure that had been sticking to Billy.
[You have a picture of Friska?]
[There was. Just moment]
A photo of a blonde haired woman curled up a little, plastered clearly on my phone. I shut my mouth and the phone fell. My body is limp. With teary eyes, I endured the fear and sadness that came together.
"Aretha?" call daddy anxious. The laughter of the two men lost seeing me who was suddenly strange. Radit got up from his seat and approached me. Drawing a device lying on the floor, he looks widened his eyes.
"Friska ..." murmured Radit slowly.
"You familiar?" many surprised. While my father continued to stroke my back while listening to the problems we were facing.
"He's my cousin. Lost a year ago. The family doesn't know where he's going. Many say Friska ran away from home because she was pregnant, but. Uh, why did Danu send this photo to you?" ask Radit curiously. I'm a little confused and pity. The girl's death was unknown to her family.
"He .. has died" I said slowly. I looked at Radit, waiting for this male reaction in front of me. Anyway, I have to say this. It is likely that Friska's body has not been found.
"What's? You sure, Tha?" cecar Radit raised his tone.
Dad took my phone, and stared at the photo out of curiosity.
"How can you be sure of that, Nduk?" ask dad.
"So I saw, Dad. He kept being around Billy, "obviously I'm full of emotion.
"Thus ... Billy killed Friska," Radit said. Friska's disappearance over the course of a year kept her family searching. They are hopeful that Friska will be found soon, no matter what.
"Don't rush to conclusions, Radit boy. There's not enough solid evidence yet" father advised as he put down my phone and took his own. Dad called his partner immediately. "Report the case. Don't forget, put Billy in as a witness and as a suspect" Dad said, closing the call and calming me down.

Today is a special day. Me and my friends are getting ready to perform at the school pension event. After the event, it was time to perform in front of everyone on this big stage. This moment is what we have been waiting for.
"That!" radit shouted while running in a row carrying a brown bag.
"Radith? What's up?" I looked at Radit in wonder. This was the second time Radit ran after me. It might be his new hobby. Radit handed me the chocolate package. "Now, wear it, hope you like it."
I opened it immediately and choked, "Shawl?" soon I put on a pink scarf with a mini maple leaf motif. And I immediately liked the gift from Radit. My lips widened with sparkling eyes.
"Beautiful," Radit said as he continued to stare at me without blinking.
I looked back at Radit and slapped him on the shoulder, "Rubber!" sergeant shy.
"Udah there. It's your turn, right?" radit. I stared at the clock on Radit's wrist, and then the saying went to the field, where the stage was standing.
My voice began to bounce to the school. The sound of musical instruments from others also adds to the positive impression of the audience. Very fitting collaboration. Of course my performance was the spotlight of the audience. They kept calling my name. And I just waved at those who looked enthusiastic to me.
Our performance received appreciation from all the audience. Several times, though, I was annoyed by Friska's figure. But I'm determined once the show's over, to find out what really happened. Father has also deployed his men to find out the whereabouts of Friska, but I am not his name, if not reckless.
"Yeahaw! What a great look you guys are!" exclaim Dedi then greet us one by one. Me, Danu, Dion, Tomy and Raka were satisfied with the performance. Some commented on the event enthusiastically. Some even ask for a photo together. Apparently we turned into an impromptu artist.
The day is getting day by day. The show is also over.
"I'll get the bag first, yeah" I said. Because I feel so tired.
"I deliver, Tha," said Radit who seemed to want to keep clinging to me. As a result we were met with pressure from other friends. Even the scarf giving Radit became a trending topic this afternoon. And embarrassed me, finally refusing the offer
My steps stopped at the music studio, I went in and immediately grabbed my bag. It was just that due to the rush, the entire contents fell to the floor. I forgot to close the bag earlier. Soon I'll take back my things. The door rang out. Door opened. And someone came in.
"Eh, would you like to grab a bag too?" I was talking about seeing one of my friends come.
"Yes" he answered briefly, then slowly went inside. When the door was closed, I was a little daunted by her suspicious gurgle. "What do you want?"
_________
On the other hand, Arden looked anxious as almost thirty minutes had passed and his sister had yet to be seen. "Gue after Aretha first" said Arden.
"Follow, Den!" sahut Radit's. Automatically they all move and start tailing Arden.
Arriving at the studio, the door opened half.Arden rushed in, his premonition getting worse. Inside the studio looks chaotic. Some things are destroyed. Musical instruments and Aretha's bag were scattered on the floor. Arden picked up the scarf that Radit gave him. He held it tight, then turned to his friends. "Aretha's kidnapped!"
They hurried to search for Aretha throughout the school. Fifteen minutes later they all gathered in the front parking lot of the school. "Not seen!"
"Where are you, Dek!" muttered Arden frustrated. She kept pacing back and forth while pulling her own hair. Remembering something, he immediately reached into the phone in his pocket and made a call.
"Dad! Aretha's kidnapped!" Spontaneous he said it without any further ado.
"Can't you, Den?" ask Indra from across.
Arden told me all about this. Indra ended the call and immediately rushed to find where her beloved daughter was.
"Billy!" point at Radit in a loud voice looking at the man who just got out of his car. All swarmed Billy and cornered him. "Where's Aretha?" radit asked with emotion. He gripped Billy's collar while pressing the man's neck with his elbow. While Dedi and others inspect every part of Billy's car, looking for clues to Aretha's whereabouts.
"What the fuck?" sergeant Billy is cornered at the door of his car.
"Where's Aretha?" ask Radit by emphasizing each word.
"Aretha? Where do I know! I just arrived. Someone left me at home, and I kept coming back. It's just getting here. Boro-boro meets Aretha. Just come down now," explains Billy confused.
Radit pushed Billy harder to the back until his back hit the car door. Billy groans in pain.
"Really, Dit! I'm not lying. Dare swear!" said Billy. Arden approached and looked Billy in the eye.
"He's not lying!" arden said, shouting in frustration. He also has the ability to detect lies only from the eyes of someone.
Even so, Radit has not been willing to take off his grip on Billy's collar. "Well then, Friska? Where is he? You're the one who kidnapped her?" accuse Radit.
"Looh!" hardik Danu was also stirred by emotions. They compactly corner Billy who seems to know nothing about Aretha and Friska. All allegations are strongly against him.
"This again! About Friska I don't know, I swear! Why am I accused of kidnapping Friska? Aretha too! I'm a playboy but I'm not a boy. Abusing girls carelessly, I guess I don't do much?" bela Billy with reasonable reasons. Gawai Arden trembled, a message coming in from Indra, making his eyes sparkle.
"Aretha meets! Let's go over there?" take Arden on his bike.
"Wait, Den. I got on my car. We're going there together," said Billy offering help. They all looked at each other, but since Radit did not bring a car, Arden agreed. They're in Doni's car and Billy's. In Doni's car, there's Kiki, Dedi, and Ari. While in Billy's car, there are Arden, Radit, Danu and Dion.
"Where are we going, Den?" ask Billy while starting the engine. Arden sat beside him. Radit, Danu and Dion in the back seat.
"Jalan Ahmad Yani no 345" Arden said, staring at a message from his father. Billy stopped the car and looked at Arden in disbelief.
"Why?" ask Arden.
"Surely that's the address?"
"Yes. Nih! My father sent it himself" Arden explained, showing Billy his screen. Billy replied, Dion asked, "You know what you know, Den? You guys got GPS?" ask Dion in a soft tone.
"Yes .." said Arden, staring at the window beside him. Indra was very protective of her family. All security is always a top priority. So, it's not strange if he installs a special GPS application against his two daughters. Because, previously Nisa also received the same treatment as a wife.
"Why is that it, Bill?" radit sat behind him. Billy's attitude was different when he heard the address Arden mentioned.
"That's ... That's Tomy's house .." Billy replied quietly.
All eyes turned and looked at him in disbelief.
"What's? Tomy?" ask them simultaneously. Billy nodded with eyes full of confidence.
"Actually I was a little suspicious of Tomy as well. You remember, after Aretha said to take the bag, Tomy also came home. The only way he's going is not out of school."
Arden analyzed the incident in a row. Everyone was silent while thinking and they finally nodded. Agree with Arden's statement.
"Yes, our hunt is Aretha's samperin!" pinta Radit's worried.
Cars are speeding through crowded streets. Billy who is quite nimble to drive makes them reach the yard of Tomy's house with a short time.
"Crazy! General's house? Guarded by a lot of gini guys?" ask Danu astonished. In front of Tomy's house, there were already many people standing guard. Looks like Tomy's been preparing for everything. Radit immediately went down without thinking about anything else, then followed by another. One of the guards approached Radit, but in a quick motion he hit him in the stomach. He had enough emotions to know his heart was gone, which turned out to be Tomy. With the ability of Radit and his qualified friends, he managed to bend the guard and managed to squeeze into. The situation in the house is no less different than in the courtyard. I don't know how many guards Tomy hired to guard his house. Tomy is indeed a son of a respected general in his area. However, his attitude is very embarrassing to both parents if the rot is exposed.
"Dith! Den! You guys find Aretha, let us take care of it downstairs!" Billy hit a few people quickly. And Danu and the others too. Kiki waited outside to call the police. The housekeeper Tomy seemed endless. They were quite strong, with a small number of Arden parties, making things seem unbalanced.
Upstairs, Arden and Radit begin to search Aretha throughout the room, shouting Aretha's name as they enter space by space. Until they arrive at the last room they have not opened. Radit slowly opened this door, his eyes wide open to see Aretha sleeping in a bound state. Beside him was Tomy holding a gun and pointing it at Aretha. As if he knows, he is being sought, Tomy's preparation is good enough as a kidnapper who holds his hostage.
"For one step, I broke his head!" threaten Tomy not fooling around. Aretha pulled up to stand in front of Tomy. His left hand was coiled around Aretha's neck, while his right hand held a gun to Aretha's head. Aretha's hands were tied behind her own body. Mouth stuffed with cloth, appearance disheveled. Aretha cried with fear. The look in his eyes showed a great fear.
"Bug ... Lepasin Aretha, please. We can talk about this all right, right?" arden asked a little persuading. While Radit continues to be on alert, if there is a chance, he must save Aretha first.
"What son did you say that was? You're not getting out of here alive!"
"So you killed Friska?" radit's question further ignites Tomy's emotions, the gun pointed at Radit.
"What did loe say?" Tomy's attention was distracted.
Tomy's leg was immediately trampled firmly by Aretha. As Tomy's grip loosened, Aretha ran away. Well, Tomy pulled the trigger and the shot was inevitable. Quickly, Radit ran into Aretha and the bullet went through her back.
"Roman!" yelled Aretha who was in Radit's arms. Radit smiled while enduring the pain. It shook its head to calm Aretha while grimacing in pain. His body is getting bigger and longer. Meanwhile, footsteps approached the room, and another shot rang out from the door, hitting Tomy's hand. A group of police officers came in to snatch Tomy who was now lying down while groaning holding her leg.
Indra also came to pick up her daughter. Everyone gets closer to Radit.
"Quick you take Radit to the hospital!" indra's orders.
"You use my car, I'm here, take care of Tomy. He's my cousin."
Billy hands the car keys to Arden. Radit was immediately taken to a car, to a nearby hospital.
"Den, hunting napa nyetirnya, hunted me to the blood on the road. It's a snail-rich mistress, '" said Radit, sitting behind Arden.
"Have a son! If you are driving, we can all go to the hospital together," said Arden cynically, he snorted and then glanced beside him. The girl shakes. Radit held Aretha's hand.
"Tha, you're okay, right?" tanya Radit checked every inch of Aretha's face. But a punch flew into Radit's arm. "You, you're worried about me! Obviously you need a doctor now!" nagel Aretha. Radit hugged Aretha to calm her down.
"I'm fine, Tha," persuaded Radit to caress Aretha's back. He knew that Aretha was in shock over the shock. Kiki who was sitting in the front seat, cleared her throat. Arden glanced at the windshield.
"Eh uh uh! Undeterred. Undeterred. Put on a show of all hugs," Arden scolded without looking back. Because from the rearview mirror alone, Arden could already see them clearly.
Radit took off his embrace, while Kiki laughed loudly seeing them misbehaving. "It's so stingy, Den. Sometimes nyenengin napa friends!" radit said with his lips pursed.
"Can't! Keep a safe distance."
"Bechelly ...."
Until Radit hospital was immediately taken to the IGD room. He needed surgery to take a bullet in his body. Luckily, Radit was tough enough.
