ORION
School and Lurking
“No problem.” Gista nodded then looked at Mahanta's injured forehead. “It's enough to prove.” Then Gista smiled faintly.
“You mean?”
Mahanta wondered what the expression of Gista's face and speech meant just now. It looked unnatural and seemed to know something about Orion.
Next day. At 10 am. Orion and Mahanta gathered in one of the rooms that was quiet about furniture. Similar to isolation room but actually there are a lot of important files from NED.
“Orion, from today you will go to school. You are registered as the first student to attend school outside after a long period of private courses at home (Home Schooling) you understand?”
“Hah, alright.” Orion answered with a breath.
Mahanta showed a photograph of a man with a saggy haircut and had an incision scar on his temple.
“And this ..is the duty of the chairman. Don't follow him or just talk to him, okay? Because of this man, Endy is a criminal who often roams around. Only we know what actions he has done so far, including killing people without a trace,” explained Mahanta.
“If I was assigned this way, then how was the school?” asked Orion with a frowned.
“Hahaha.” Mahanta laughed and rubbed his head with a happy face. “You really want to go to school apparently, yeah. Take it easy, the last time he was around. Other than that trail, there's nothing else. So the chairman thought this would be a good trial period for you,” chirped Mahanta.
“Oh!” short Orion while keeping his distance and dodging Mahanta's swipe.
“You are a boy who is not cute, yes,” said Mahanta.
“What's that explanation?” orion asked again.
“Nothing. Other info is not so supportive, some say he has the ability of illusion, magic or maybe even manipulate the mind. It is still unclear what his strength is therefore he often disappears and makes us hassles.” Mahanta shook his head.
“I know enough about it. But what is he doing around there? Won't he be after the kids when he gets home from school or what? Is he a venereal criminal or something?”
“You think too much about that. His motive was still unclear just like his strength. But we know, Endy is often around children, at school, in the playground or other places that are usually occupied by children. But the target is always adults,” explained Mahanta presumably he serious his words just now.
Because this is a pretty confusing matter. Their conclusions also do not always lead to what is really targeted by Endy.
Mahanta also said he's been wandering around since his resurrection. About 3 years ago. Endy is known that previously this man died of bleeding in the head due to a traffic accident. His personality has changed a lot since that day.
“So his death didn't connect him to that action?”
“Yes, that's right. That's why I'm asking you not to get too close or talk to him. Even if accidentally, you must quickly dodge.”
Mahanta commemorates Orion as an underrated task will always have a bad impact at the end. So Mahanta wants Orion to be on his guard.
“No need to worry about that, we will also take care of you from a distance. But of course it can only be done by one person. Later you will meet him,” added Mahanta.
“Expiring is also useless. Because this is how I get used to it. You don't have to worry,” Orion said in a snobbish tone.
Orion's attitude was like this again. Looks cool when only a child who just rose up, that's what Mahanta thinks today.
“From the beginning of the meeting, somehow I thought that you always acted like an adult, huh?” chirps Mahanta.
“Don't waste time with me anymore. I'll go,” Orion said then carrying his bag.
***
In the end Orion went to a school that was not so far away from the direction of Gista's house. He left with Mahanta in his car. And sure enough, he went to elementary school.
Class 3.
“Wah, his son has arrived. Alone anyway. Self-contained, yes it turns.” One of the teachers there praised Orion. Although now Orion is showing a sullen face, angry and jumbled because of this.
Orion has agreed to continue to attend school in this place. But never thought, at first he thought it was in 6th grade but it turned out to be in 3rd grade.
Before entering his class, Orion was sitting in one of the chairs. Not sitting in a room or anything, he was in the field.
“Mum can tidy your hair for a while, yes.”
The bespectacled female teacher covered Orion's body with a black cloth then prepared scissors and prepared to cut Orion's hair.
Because of the many events, Orion forgot that his hair had elongated. How embarrassed he was when he was seen by a group of students who were on it. Shame about it but the look on his face became very tangled.
“Your hair is very long. What during home schooling, you do not have time to cut your hair?” ask the teacher while continuing his current actions.
“Yes, that's it. I didn't have time and it felt like my stress was piling up.”
The teacher was silent with confusion. Not understanding what Orion was talking about, it felt like chatting with someone older than him.
“What are my feelings? How does this kid talk like an adult?” thought the teacher was tough.
***
It was the first day after his resurrection from the dead. Orion Sadawira has risen after 20 years of his absence. He should be relaxing and sitting on the porch at the age of 50.
It should be so ...
“Well, kids! You have new friends coming. Introduce his name Orion Sadawira, he was a child who had been studying at home finally decided to go to school outside. The familiar, yes!”
Now he stands in front of the 3rd grade students of SD. Self-esteem as a parent who has been retired is trampled so easily. But how else? His body was now shrinking, returning to the age of a small child.
Refusing to attend school is also free. Because here, is the place where Endy, a wanted criminal is wandering around.
“Uncle Ori!”
Everyone was surprised once one of the students in the 3rd grade called Orion with the designation, "Uncle", no exception with Orion himself. Initially his face was tangled so surprised when he saw the student.
It turned out that the student was someone he knew. But the thing that becomes confusing is, why the child is still in school while 20 years ago has been missed.
The schoolgirl looked overjoyed as she waved her hand at an Orion. Orion felt pain in his chest because he did not expect to see the child now.
“Did he also have NED?” One thing is for sure, this is what was going through his mind.
“Lily, she's the same age as you, so just call her name, Ori. I see, huh?” said the teacher.
