Giska is down. He continued to fear and became more paranoid around him. The incident of the mutilated crow dispatch, made the dormitory uncontrollable. Negative rumors continued to be heard from mouth to mouth, the terror seemed to be a scourge that was so feared by all residents of the dormitory. Care has been tightened, especially in Giska's dorm room ward. The police had come and started to split up to guard this place. Giska was not allowed to leave the dormitory by the principal. Because this is a school regulation that must be obeyed by all residents.
Angel was next to Giska. Trying to calm the girl down with all her fun and stupid stories. Angel is famous as a fun person. That's why they're close. But tonight all Angel's babbling doesn't work for Giska. There was no smile or laughter as usual. Looks like Giska's burden tonight is pretty heavy. It was even Giska's first time without a smile. It changed.
"Gis ... sleep aja, yuk," Angel who began to yawn and rub his eyes because tired. The girl he was talking to was silent and indifferent. "Hm okay. I stay up late, but I'm going to the kitchen first, make some coffee. Sleep with me, bitch, yeah." He immediately walked out of the room. And lost behind that chocolate door. Giska is alone. He walked to the middle window between his desk and Angel's desk.
The girl looked down, some people dressed in typical police uniforms caught her attention. He felt safe, but at the same time worried. Remembering all the stories about the death of his 8 best friends. He actually hesitated a little if he considered them friends. Because at that time they were all small, they were close because their parents were friends. Giska did not like the group very much. What his friends do is always contrary to his conscience, but Giska still does that, because of his pride and fear of being the target of their bully.
Giska opened the window of his room, each room was equipped with a narrow balcony that only fit two people. He and Angel often chat until midnight in this place after studying. Giska pictured Siska's face. Guilt now covers him. The thing he wanted to do a long time ago was apologize to Siska. But it was as if he had no chance. The news of Siska's death made Giska even more depressed. It took a long time to restore her mental health. Until Angel came as a friend.
The door opened, shortly closed slowly. Giska moved from her place. Keep staring straight at the black sky filled with dots of light that makes him very comfortable to look at. "Have made the coffee? Tumben cepet really, Ngel? No queue, are you?" The kitchen at this hour is indeed one of the most crowded places. There is a place available on each floor to watch TV. And this is the weekend. They will take advantage of the holidays to watch the crowds. And the kitchen will be crowded because they will be pacing to make snacks or warm drinks that accompany during the movie.
There is no word from Angel. This made Giska suspicious. He looked inside. Suddenly the lights went out. The whole dormitory is pitch black. Giska panic. "Angel's? Where are you? Ngel? Don't take me dong. Pleases. I'm scared" whined the girl. Now his eyes are starting to fall. His feelings are starting to get uncomfortable. Especially after the door was opened there was no word from Angel. Is Angel or someone else coming in?
Giska decided to stay on the balcony. At least the circumstances outside were much brighter than in the room. The full moon revealed itself, being the only light in the dark as it enveloped the island.
"Giska's? Where are you?" Angel's faint-sounding voice made Giska hurriedly open the balcony door and enter the room. He called his best friend many times, but it was strange. There is no more confirmation from Angel.
Giska's eyes glare at the reflection of something. It might be like an iron or glass slab. He thought there was a car or motorcycle rearview mirror below that was hit by the moonlight. But that doesn't go into his logic at all. Giska's steps stopped when she heard the footsteps of others who were in her room. Slowly, but surely. He felt a black shadow approaching him. Giska retreated until her body was cornered. Someone is now walking towards him with a knife. Strangely, he was unable to scream or scream for help. There are a lot of people down there. And of course his friends were also in their respective rooms, Even the voices of some people sounded boisterous in this floor tv room. Giska's body suddenly weak. It was as if what was before him was a life-revoting angel who had long waited for the time to pick him up. Giska.
That guy, wearing a head covering in all black clothes. It really looks like a killer in a movie that his victims don't want to recognize. "Who are you?" asked Giska with rhetorical sentences that became the laughing stock of people in front of him. Her voice?! Giska was surprised to hear the sound of laughter coming from a woman. Not a man like the previous 8-man murders.
"Giska ... Giska. We haven't seen each other in a long time, have we?" ask the woman. It was not so clear as her cloth-covered mouth made her speech sound faint. But obviously, she is a woman. A name came to his head. "Siska?" ask Giska doubtfully.
"Waw, you can recognize me only once? That's great." Siska approached, and continued to approach until they were only two steps away. Darkened. It's still dark in here. Giska's heart is beating faster, irregularly. Looks like the guess is right. Because the woman in front of him seemed to be asking his question just now.
"Siska .. are you alive?" giska asked with a trembling tone. His body shivered perfectly. It's even firmer than when he had a fever a few months ago. Cold sweat poured from his forehead. Even his entire body was bathing in sweat.
"of course! You're not happy, do you know that I'm still breathing today? You also expect me to die like your friends? That so?"
"No! It's not so, Siska. I just want to meet you. I ... I'd like to apologize."
"What did you say? Apologize after 7 years? Ah, that's bullshit, Gis."
"No. It's not. I'm sorry, Sis. I should have confessed, but they threatened me. I can't do anything. Excuse me. Siska. I'm sorry. You knew? That I've been haunted by guilt all this time? But I don't know what to do. Now ... if you want to kill me. .. I'm sincere." Giska spread her hands to the side. Gave the green light to Siska to settle her grudge.
Siska's forehead that was still visible because it was not covered by anything, was wrinkled. "You're so brave, Gis? Don't you wonder what my face is now?"
Giska frowned at Siska's question. He felt that what Siska said was true as well. How's Siska's face now? Is it the same as before? Or ....
Siska opened her face cover, their position near the window made the moonlight able to go inside and make the face visible even though they were dark. Giska glares. His mouth was gaping looking at the face of Siska who was in front of him. He nodded shortly while closing his mouth. His cheeks are now flooded because of the tears that fell profusely from the two hassel eyeballs.
"Angel?!" peekik Giska did not believe what he saw. Angel's smirk smile looks terrible in this position.
"Hi Giska's. You surprised?"
"Ba ... how can you ... you, Siska?"
"Well, I'm Siska."
Giska's memory goes back a few years. The first time he and Angel met. New school year. Both become new students in this dormitory.
"Hi, you know, I'm Angel Fransiska." That sentence was the first thing Giska heard coming out of Angel's mouth. Angel Frances. Francesca?! At this time, he realized that their names were similar.
"A year ago I was baptized, Gis. So my name is new. Mama says I have to live a new life as Angel." Return Angel's sentence that never crossed his mind at all is a secret veil that is now like a thorn in the heart of Giska. Angel often shows her true identity as Siska. But Giska didn't notice it at all.
"This is for you" Angel said 3 months after they became roommates. A jewelry box with hairpins patterned in hello kitty became Angel's first gift to Giska. They even wear the same hairpin.
Giska took the hairpin she was still wearing, and stared at it bitterly. She remembers that Siska loved everything about hello kitty, Well, Giska remembers now. Her net was wildly staring at the side of Angel's room. Bed linen, blankets, pillowcases, curtains, bags, even all the things that Angel has always wear the cartoon character. Giska's body slid to the floor. He cursed his stupidity because he did not realize that his best friend who he believed all along was the person he would ever kill. And now things turn around. Angel wanted to kill him.
"Kill me, Ngel. Go ahead. I'm sincere. But ... kill me as Siska. Not Angel. I will suffer greatly if I die in the hands of my best friend. Please don't kill me as Angel. Because Angel isn't just a friend to me, she's more than that. He's already I consider my own brother. I love Angel more than myself. I would do anything for Angel. I'm willing to exchange punishment with Angel. Because ... Angel will do the same. You remember, Ngel? When you were convicted by Mr Hadi for being caught keeping cigarettes in uniform pockets?"
Angel aka Siska remembered back then. The day Giska confessed to Mr. Hadi that the cigarette was his, not Angel's. And finally Giska was sentenced to clean the entire toilet of the women's dormitory. But the punishment they both run. Without feeling sad or tired. They are both very happy. Apart from class lessons, darling is head-twisting.
Angel sculpting. His heart seemed to be seething with pain upon hearing that sentence spoken from Giska's mouth. Deep down, Angel is also comfortable with Giska. He never messed with all his attention to Giska. Angel really loves Giska. Giska was also the only friend he had. Destiny is like playing with them. But fate brought them together. Either be a friend or an opponent. Either they live or die together.
The knife in Angel's hand fell. He lost to his affection for Giska. It's dilemma. Should he continue his goal or end this grudge now? Netra they met, with a truly sincere tear. Angel's eyes lighten up. He immediately hugged Giska's body until both of them fell to the floor. A loud cry was heard all the way out of the room. "I'm sorry, Siska. I didn't mean to do any of that. I knew it was wrong" said Giska, looking at Siska, who was now wiping away tears from Giska's cheek. Siska. He hissed and hugged Giska back tighter. "Shm. Already, Gis. We're missing it, yeah. You are the best friend I have. Sorry I wanted to kill you. Just like your 8 friends."
In Angel's arms, Giska glared as the sentence was spoken from Angel. He realized, if at all, Angel had killed his friends. Directly or indirectly.
The lights are back on. It was bright again, and Andrew barged into Giska's room. He was surprised to see the two girls hugging each other while crying. "You guys okay?"
Giska and Angel turned to the door, there was a hint of tension on the faces of the two. Giska then grabbed the knife lying beside her and tried to hide the object so as not to see Andrew.
"We're fine, sir. Just surprised earlier. Panic because dormitories rarely have power outages," replied Giska, trying as quietly as possible. Angel, who realizes Giska's attitude, covers Giska's hand so that she doesn't see Andrew.
"Yes already. Just sleep now. It's almost midnight. Let us keep watch outside." The door closed with Andrew's strange-looking gaze, looking at them suspiciously.
"Well, sir," they said simultaneously.
The night ended peacefully. There was no blood flowing, neither from Giska nor Angel. Or someone else. They rest in peace. Despite the situation stabilizing, Andrew still kept Giska by placing some policemen around the dormitory.
_____
It's been a week. The semeter middle exam they were taking was over already. Some residents of the dorm decided to return home because they got 3 days off. But Angel and Giska would rather be in the dorm. Both parents who are super busy can not be in the house. So why did they come home. It is better to stay in the dorm with some friends who also decide not to go home for their own reasons.
Angel's string shook. A short message made Angel angry. "Ck. What the hell?"
Giska who was reading a novel while lying on her stomach in bed then turned her head. "Why, Ngel?" He realized that his best friend must be upset.
"Here, I'm told to go home. What try? Very males."
"That can't be so. Your time to your family is like that. Gih, get ready to go home. At least you'll only be there for a day, then go back, right?" ask Giska who really understands Angel. He knew that Angel was not comfortable if he had to stay in his own home for too long. But anyway, they're still Angel's family.
Giska helps Angel pack. Although only two pieces of clothes were brought, but Giska was very thorough, because Angel forgets. "This is not a cure you are laughing? Later if shortness of breath on the road how to try?" giska thrusts the inhaler at Angel. Angel accepted it with a big smile. "Thank you, please."
"Ih, honey. Amused his horror," said Giska. Both laughed after.
"Be careful, Ngel. Don't stay home long. I'm afraid to be alone." Giska let go of Angel with a sentence that makes Angel grieved. The person he wanted to kill now wanted to be protected. "Lebay, man, Gis. I also went home. Don't miss. And don't you mess up my Siwon photos, yeah."
"God. Where might I take it. Eat it your Siwon," said Giska.
"Bye." Angel's right hand waved, her heavy smile leaving Giska in the dorm alone. But he has to go home.
Angel starts sitting on a boat that takes her back to town. One of the reasons Angel lazy after home is a trip that is quite time-consuming. He had to get on a plane to get to his house. He is now at the airport. Waiting for his departure which is only a few minutes away. While waiting, Angel surfed on his social media. See the post of his mother who is abroad and his father who is on a cruise ship. He did not understand why he was told to go home if it turned out that there was no one at home. Angel decided to contact her parents.
"What's? Mama didn't you tell me to come home?" Angel's body was instantly weak. He immediately grabbed the bag lying on the floor and took it running out of the airport. No matter what the screams of his parents on the cell phone he still left on. Angel ran and decided to stop the taxi that had just left the airport parking lot. One thing is for sure, he must return to the dormitory immediately.
He was very fast until now sitting sweetly on a boat that brought him back to the island. Even the owner of the boat wondered why Angel came back again, but only a few hours ago he took the same boat and talked to the boat captain that he would spend the holidays at home.
His feet are now stepping down from the boat. No matter the shoes are wet because of the sea water below, because the actual boat has not stopped perfectly. Angel was in such a hurry that she didn't care about it. For him to immediately get to the dormitory was the thing that kept on his mind now.
The towering building was already visible in front of Angel's eyes. He continued running and panicked a little when he saw many police swarming the princess dormitory building. His mind was confused and he thought of the worst. Something kept on his mind for Giska's salvation. His feet reached the floor of the corridor where he was staying. Everyone crowded, even he could see that now the door of his room was given a police line. Her tears welled up and just spilled out. There was only one name on his mind. Giska.
As Angel began to approach, the line of his friends came out, giving him a way to make it easier to get to his room. "Patience, Ngel." The sentence just came from Lidya, the neighbor of their room. Angel's crying now deepened, until he reached his room, Angel immediately decayed, when he saw Giska's body hanging under the door corridor of his room. He closed his mouth and shook quickly. Some police at the scene also pity to see the cries of Angel who is now annoying. Angel shouted to Giska by name. Giska .. dead.
Everyone thinks Giska committed suicide, but only Angel knows that Giska was murdered. With a sobbing, Angel got up and left the room. Ignoring the calls of his comrades who were worried about him. Giska's death was a severe blow to Angel, who incidentally had her closest friend Giska. He made a call to a number.
"Why?" ask Angel with anger.
"He should die, Sis. You forgot how they almost drove you crazy, huh?"
"I said, let go of Giska! Why did you kill him! This isn't really my fight, is it?! Your battle! You're mean! You see, I'll reveal your identity. I'll make sure the police will punish you very severely! If they can't catch you, then I'll kill you with my own hands!" angel screamed with anger.
Angel throws his cell phone to pieces. He screamed because of the sadness and annoyance that became one. "Kill you, demon man!" jeremy Angel. But he was silent when he saw a red dot on his chest. Angel looked towards the male dormitory building, which was located quite far from his sight. "Basic demon!" said it. Coinciding with that, he collapsed backwards with blood pouring slowly out of his hollow chest. Siska .. dead.
