The morning had started to disappear, the Surya rays were getting hotter out there. A girl with a pale and lethargic face had just woken up from her long sleep. His body felt very sore and painful. His eyes blinked slowly, hoping he could get up from his beloved bed.
Laurinda tried to sit with the condition of the feet are sore and swollen cheeks. The girl looked at herself in the mirror. It was sad, it was what was in his mind.
After cleaning herself with great difficulty, Laurinda sat in front of the mirror and looked at herself. ''Why am I going to survive this far? What would you do if you knew I was like this? Hicks ...No Laurinda.....You can't be weak. You should be able to.'' His words encourage themselves.
Yesterday's incident was a movie. Laurinda's goal now is to meet the girl who was on the balcony yesterday. He left the house in oversized clothes and wearing a mask. Laurinda did not self-medicate at all.
When descending from the 3rd floor, Laurinda passed Nadine who was also about to go down to the first floor. ''Xavier..!'' Calling Laurinda, Nadine stopped and looked at Laurinda.
''Yesterday events....'' Pause Laurinda nervous, the voice of the girl yesterday is Nadine. The girl was busy enjoying her coffee but was disturbed by the bad sight.
With a feeling of annoyance, Nadine interfered even though it was never in her dictionary. ''What happened yesterday? What the hell's going on? I didn't see anything. I don't like to interfere either.'' He relaxed and then walked quickly down the stairs. Lauren could only smile.
''Thank you!'' Shouted Laurinda to be heard by Nadine who was already downstairs.
Nadine was walking around to somewhere. His eyes glanced at something then rewinded his steps. Staring straight at the electric pole in front of the building. His observant eyes could see must be something that had been covered.
A grinning smile adorned his face, then could only slowly shake as if disparaging. ''Still use the usual way.'' He muttered and then walked back. Behind him, a black car seemed to follow where Nadine's footsteps.
The girl smiled back, as if she could confirm that they were indeed following her. ''We see, how long you will continue to follow me.'' He said something and walked back. His original goal of wanting to go to the construction site, Nadine now turned and headed for a nearby cafe.

At the police station, Anindira was sitting and leaning on her chair. He had just been discharged from his patrol duties. Since one of her co-workers permits, Anindira has to patrol alone.
Tired of her face so noticeable, the girl closed her eyes hoping that the tiredness disappeared every second. Only a few minutes later did he close his eyes. A junior came with some papers.
''Siang senior...'' Sapa junior was polite, Anindira opened her eyes then glanced.
''Did you find anything I asked for?'' Ask Anindira while sitting properly and retrieving the given file. ''Just this? There's nothing else?'' Anindira asked, squinting her eyes. I really don't believe what he saw.
''Senior, this is all I found. There seems to be a top party covering up everything about him.'' It was obviously that junior named Dimas. ''Well you can go...'' Anindira said that her temples were suddenly pulsating.
Anindira asks Dimas to find out about Xavier. All he got was his name and date of birth? Not even everything about him exists. Anindira put the file down and was about to lean back, but Dimas's scream made him undo the intention.
''Senior!! There was another incident, a man was found dead near the river stone.'' Panicking Dimas, Anindira immediately stood up from her seat until the chair she was sitting in retreated to the back. ''Come on, call the fucking guy to come to the scene. I don't know when he'll take time off, this has crossed my patience limit.'' Tell Anindira who has now entered his car and accompanied by Dimas who had just nodded.
On the edge of the river stone, Anindira walked quickly towards the police who were in a group. Dimas walked slowly as rocks were scattered everywhere and it filled the entire riverbank.
Anindira as usual to pass through such rocks.
On the riverbank a man was lying with a face that had been covered by officers. ''When was the time of his death?'' Dimas asked, while Anindira was opening the cover of the corpse's face.
''From what he could estimate from his body, it seemed like yesterday. For the time being we need an autopsy.'' The officer replied with certainty. Dimas recorded the officer's statement.
Anindira now looked carefully at the corpse, there were no marks on her body. Anindira noticed the lips of the father who looked blue and almost very invisible, at the corner of his lips like a little slashed. ''What is this case already known by the chief?'' Ask Dimas.
''Is there a family looking for him?'' Anindira asked, the officer was clumsy as if he was new here. ''He is a man who lives alone, no relatives can be contacted.'' Said a man in his casual style, the man approached Anindira and handed her a report about the man.
Anindira read every detail of the report and looked at the annoyed man.
Plaque ...
''Auch..'' Screamed the man with his face, hoping the report would not hit his handsome face. ''You just came! Goddamnit! You've taken more than 3 days off. Are you in asceticism!?'' Anindira snapped, no one dared to look even though Anindira's cry disturbed hearing.
All the officers there knew that Anindira was a girl who held fast to the truth. Some cases that do not find a way out, he pursued to the end of the world. No one could doubt Anindira's skill. There was nothing he could miss, except that the case was deliberately closed and even then he sometimes violated just to satisfy his curiosity.
''Sorry, nin....Do you miss me so much that you get angry like this?'' Goda William, friend and companion of Anindira. They have been friends for about 7 years.
''Do an autopsy, give me the report as soon as possible.'' Anindira said to the officer, ignoring William's temptation. ''Well, '' said the officer politely. ''Dimas, you watch them. Make sure they give the report quickly.'' Anindira said before leaving the place.
The body was cut and put into the hearse that just arrived. Anindira got into the car with William. The girl was driving the car like a racer, she wanted to immediately read all the files that Dimas and William had prepared.
The man sitting next to her looks calm because he already knows what kind of girl Anindira is. He even whistled while enjoying the scenery that was not clearly visible because of the speed of the car.
Arriving in front of the office, Anindira went inside. It was waiting there for the team leader. ''Have you come yet?'' Greet Anindira head, the girl can only nod in response. With the feelings of anxiety that will be said by the head of his team.
''For this case, it is closed. No need for an autopsy, he died by suicide. I am tired of living because I have no one.'' The speech is now Anindira again heard, the words that Anindira can guess if the head has been waiting for him.
Brakk...!
William closed his eyes, knowing this time Anindira's anger was at its peak. Cannot be negotiated. Anindira stared angrily at the headmaster who was stroking his chest, startled.
''Aye? This is the 8th time, head like this. What head sir is not bored with father's words! I was so bored and annoyed to hear it!'' Said Anindira with tightly clenched hands and flaming eyes. Even Anindira seems to be swallowing alive the head of his team.
''I can only obey the command above. You must obey Anindira, close the case and finish.'' Said the head who was afraid now speaking normally. Anindira is a girl whom she truly admires for her bravery.
''The father promised that yesterday's case is the last case to be forgotten. But now? You reneged on a promise?'' Sent Anindira who was fed up with all this. Cases with the same events and places will only be included as a case of suicide.
Wh why? What is hidden behind this case. Who's the mastermind of everything? Who's that boss? Anindira was already suspicious at the time of the initial discovery of the corpse in the river. Not suicide but murder.
''Close this case or_''
''I will not give up!'' Anindira was angry and went out of the office to calm down. ''Hey crazy girl! Are you going to pursue this case to the end of the world again! Don't you want to live quietly!?'' Shouted the chief, even so, he knew Anindira's strength was actually well-intentioned.
However, what is his power that cannot help because this case must be closed. That is the command from above. ''William, talk to Anindira. Then take her to my room.'' Said the head that passed into his room.
''That crazy girl always makes me flutter...'' William muttered with a smile and ran to meet Anindira.
''Arghhhh!!"
Seriate.....
