The Tippingback of Rania's World
Episode 81 - Big News

Rania shifted to the right and was about to advance forward. But then he moved again to the left.

Her pretty face looked somber and bent. His teeth were grinding because they were too tight. His eyebrows are linked to the side of the tip slightly up.

"Mkc... What are you doing, anyway? Blocking my path, you know," said Rania annoyed.

The tall, white-skinned fellow deliberately prevented Rania from walking forward. Wherever the girl shifted, she would move to the same place.

"Follow me a minute. I want to talk to you about something" Mikko half-whispered.

"By what? You want to accuse me again?"

Rania is ready to turn her body around. He abandoned his intention to go to the library and return to class.

"Ouch... Early in the morning was angry, Neng. That's why I first. You avoid mulu if you want to talk to," said Mikko.

The man moved and put on a body. Obstructing Rania's path to class.

Rania who was already upset tried to break through the road and leave the guy.

"Do you know that your house has a basement that looks more like a giant maze?"

Mikko's trick worked. Rania stopped her steps.

"You kidding? Or intentionally deceive me just to say, ah you apparently do not recognize your own home. That right?" Rania widened her eyes to scare the teenage boy away.

"Suuzon mulu, anyway. But not wrong either. You don't seem to know your own home very well. Well, that too if it's your home" Mikko said.

Rania is also lured to hear Mikko say, "What do you want, anyway?" asked Rania in a high voice.

A few students who were passing by, looked towards them with interrogating gazes.

"Move from here. I don't want anyone to hear it but you" Mikko said.

If Rania had heard those words, her heart would have been pounding. But now, he was even more upset.

"Ckkp.. Yaudah. Just this once, I followed your words," said Rania.

The two teenagers then moved to the back of a physics laboratory filled with colorful wildflowers.

This is the place that is rarely visited by anyone. Because there was once a rumor of a student fainting after seeing a very terrible appearance.

"Why did we come here?" Rania. He patted his arm so that the insect named mosquito did not stick to his skin.

"Let's see this." Mikko gave her HP to Rania.

"I-this is where? Creation house? Spooky, huh."

"It's right under the house of the Austeen family. Do you know, this is where the Qiandra disappeared and was held captive back then," Mikko said.

Apparently, Mikko secretly took a photo of the room. He deliberately kept it, where know at any time useful.

Although the photo is not very clear because it is dark, but vaguely seen images of strange objects stored in the room.

"This is in the house of the Austeen family? Ngaco you." Rania does not believe.

Since childhood he lived there, never saw such a scary room in his house.

"I'm just telling you this same thing. Because indirectly, you are related to this problem," continued Mikko again.

"You mean mama and papa, um Madam Chloe and her husband keep this at home? Wh-wh-what for? I don't believe it. It could just be an edit," said Rania.

"Then this photo, don't you believe it?"

Rania frowned her forehead until it folded. Moments later his eyes bulged and his mouth opened wide.

Rania's eyeballs switched from the phone screen to the face of the guy in front of her many times. Just to make sure, whether the guy cheated on her or not.

"Where did you get this picture from?" he asked without being able to hide his surprise.

This is a very rare photo. Even Rania doesn't have it. Where did Mikko get it?

"The girl in this photo looks a lot like you, right? Do you know him?" Mikko asked back.

"Why did I tell you?" chirps Rania.

"Yes already. Then I won't say where I found this photo either" Mikko replied.

"Your grandmother?" guess Mikko.

"Maos."

"What's his name?" mikko.

"Freya Radmila's. Why do you want to know?" Rania.

"The reaction is different with Qiandra. With the same question, you are able to answer it, but not with Qiandra," Mikko said.

The young man then showed the next photo, which is the writing behind the photo.

"Freya Radmila and Esthera? 1949?" rania Gumam. "Esthera...Esther... Ah, it's appropriate that his face is not foreign" he said again.

"Why? You know both, right?" asked Mikko curiously.

"What did Qiandra answer when you asked her?" Rania was more curious about something else.

"He simply answered Freya, without knowing her full name," Mikko said.

"Now do you believe that I never lied?" rania urged.

"Ah... That's... I'm still very dizzy too. How could this happen. The Rania I know is not the Rania I used to know" Mikko said.

Kinggg!!!

The bell in cut their conversation.

"Let's continue again" Mikko said before returning to class.

"She didn't tell me where to get the picture."

...🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺...

"Hey, have you heard the news this morning?" students whispered to each other.

"Of course. All social media reported it. But is that true?" say other students.

"Not knowing either, anyway. But if it's true, Qiandra is very kasian," said another student.

"When I was in the cafeteria I saw the news on TV. I think that's real, deh. Qiandra definitely did not know until she left school earlier," said one of the others.

"What the hell, anyway?" rania asked Melda who was sitting right behind her.

Since Anjani was attending the Olympics, he sat alone for a few days.

"You don't know yet? Qiandra's parents got caught up in the case" Melda whispered.

"What's? What case?" rania.

"Listen to the drug case. They were arrested at his house this morning" Melda said.

"drugs? This is the biggest joke I've heard in my entire life. Mama and papa can't be like that" Rania said in her heart.

"It's weird, right? It doesn't feel possible, though. Their family is notoriously generous and humble. Why they even tripped over the drug case," said Melda.

"Where is Qiandra now?" ask some other friends.

"He's been on the toilet ever since this news came out. She must be so embarrassed. Moreover, some media say, that Chloe and Geffie not only wear, but also dealers," explained Melda.

Rania's tears are melting. She couldn't believe that her mom and dad were such people.

"Hey, patience. This must be a misunderstanding" Alvi whispered to Rania. He understood the anxiety of his best friend.

"Have those enemies in the blanket started sabotaging?" rania muttered to Alvi.

"What do you mean?" ask Alvi not understand.

"You remember what Wilda said when she called me that day? These must be people who want to overthrow the existence of my parents" whispered Rania again.

"Hey, what are you talking about, anyway? Who's whose parents?" ask Melda.
