"What?" I looked at Tiana, who was standing beside my desk with a scared face.

"Clarisa..." Tiana looked very nervous; she only said Clarisa's name and looked down again.

I took a deep breath, then shifted to look the girl straight in the eye.

"What are you talking about?" I exclaimed, annoyed.

"Clarisa is now an errand girl for the Aster Gang; please, Kei, help her," whined the girl with a worried face. Tiana even shed tears while begging me.

Oh my! Quite surprising. I thought the Aster Gang had stopped because they failed to make me their butt. But apparently, they changed the target so easily.

And now Clarisa?

"I know you can help her; please, Kei, help Clarisa; after all, she is our friend," Tiana pleaded, tears now flowing freely down her cheeks.

Hum, it's not that I don't want to help; getting away from Marko and the Aster Gang is also not an easy matter. I struggled with it, so I wasn't sure if I could help Clarisa.

"Just like you, I'm also afraid of them; I don't want to get i

    I sat alone in class because I forgot to bring my sports uniform. Clarisa came into class with a limp and a bleeding forehead; the girl's face was also bruised. Clarisa didn't say anything and just sat quietly in her seat. No need to ask what happened to her; I already know that this is the work of the Aster Gang.This stinks; hasn't the school gone too far by letting those thugs continue to hurt other people here? Just because of money, they all turned a blind eye and allowed the child they were supposed to protect to become a victim."Now, I know why you hate us so much. We should have helped you first, no matter what," Clarisa chirped, making me look at her, who was looking down while crying.Ah, seeing her like that makes my conscience hurt. Someone has to take steps to stop them from bullying."I won't deny it," I said quietly."How did you manage to endure it all this time?" This time, Clarisa raised her head and looked at me.How can I endure it? I couldn't help it, so I tried

    "Kei, some girls are looking for you; they asked you to go to the back of the school!" exclaimed Lily, my classmate, when I woke up from my sleep."Behind school?" I asked to be sure.Lily nodded slowly, then left me.Why did they ask me to go to the back of the school? Is this the Aster Gang? No, Lily would have said Lenny's name right away if she had asked me to go there.I yawned, moved my hands to relax my stiff muscles, then headed out of the classroom.All night long, I read the novel I had previously bought. An interesting story of a woman who has werewolf DNA and falls in love with a lone wolfThe story is more exciting than similar films I've seen in theaters.I walked quickly towards the back of the school because I wanted to quickly return to my comfortable seat and sleep well. Or should I pretend to be sick so I can sleep comfortably in the school medical room?"So, this is the name Kei Innaya?" A girl snapped as soon as I got behind the school.At least four girls were wai

    Even though it was very heavy, I tried to open my eyes slowly. I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head. My feet also hurt a lot. I saw the white walls of the room around me.Kenan's face is the first thing I see right now, followed by the panicked faces of my father and... Steve?What is this?"Which part hurts?" asked Kenan, panicking."All," I said with difficulty."Do you remember the license plate?" asked Steve.Car license plate? Ah, I remember. A car was speeding towards me. I tried to avoid it, but not that fast to survive. It happened so fast; how could I possibly remember the license plate?"I don't remember the license plate, but I saw a unique picture on the car," I said quietly."What picture is it?" shouted Kenan and Steve together."Draw a black rose," I said weakly.Dad pulled the guys away from me and gave them a hard look."Let Kei rest first, okay?" cried Dad emphatically.Kenan and Steve were silent and sat quietly in the waiting room."Are you okay, honey?

    I stared at the Aster Gang as they passed my class. There was nothing suspicious about their movements.I don't want to be prejudiced; it's just that, apart from them, who else would want to harm me?"Kei," Tiana called while giving me banana milk."You like this, right? Sorry for not being able to visit you," Tiana said quietly."That's ok!" I said it modestly.Well, I don't care whether she visits me or not; as I told her before, I don't consider her a close friend anymore, so who cares what she does?The class suddenly fell silent when someone appeared at the entrance.Steve waved his hand at me; he then walked unsteadily toward me.Tiana, who was standing beside my desk, immediately shifted away from me."Nice to see you here! Last night, I went to your house, but your dad wouldn't let me in because you were already asleep!" Steve exclaimed as he sat beside me.I remember someone ringing the doorbell last night. When I asked Dad, he said that the salesperson who came was offering

    I had just opened my eyes when there was a knock on my bedroom door. When I looked at the clock on the wall in the corner of the room, I was surprised to find that it was late at night.I jumped off the bed and opened the door.Tiana and Via stood in front of my bedroom door and panicked."What?" I looked at the two of them in turn."Clarisa..." Tiana gripped my sleeve tightly.Clarissa? What else now?"She hasn't come home for several days; you know that she can never sleep anywhere other than her room, right?" Tiana spoke quickly."If she disappears, shouldn't you or her family report it to the police? Why did you come to my house instead?" I looked at them, annoyed."She went missing after delivering Lenny's assignment," interrupted Via."Then you should ask Lenny! Why are you even here?" I said it quickly."No one dares talk to Lenny but you, Kei!" Tiana exclaimed, frustrated."So?"Tiana and Via looked at each other; they then knelt in front of me. They begged, even whined, for m

    I cover my head with the pillow; at least they're all asleep, even if it's only a few hours, while I?I haven't been able to close my eyes until now; don't they pity me? Why is it so noisy?I threw down my pillow and straightened my body. The three girls who had controlled my room were still sobbing and sharing sad stories when Clarisa was kidnapped.It's not that I'm not sad or unable to sympathize with the problem; it's just that I'm really sleepy right now."Hey, you can continue this drama at Tiana's or Via's house! Look at my eye bags! I really need enough rest now!" I exclaimed, annoyed.The three girls looked at me; they then cleaned my bed and immediately took Clarisa away from my room.Look at that! They didn't even thank me.And they call us friends? Are they kidding?After they left, I immediately closed my bedroom door and locked it.To hell with school, I have to close my eyes now.***When I woke up from my sleep, I winced in confusion to see a place that was clearly not

    I dropped the paper bag I was carrying when I saw who was in front of me.Marko? Why is he so different?Lizbeth screamed for me; the girl then ran over to me and jumped into my arms."William is here! The three of us can play!" Lizbeth exclaimed happily.I put Lizbeth down and walked slowly to meet Marko. To be honest, I almost couldn't believe my eyes. Marko, who usually looks like a bad boy, is now dressed neatly like a good boy.This is very strange."Lizbeth, please help the others prepare food," Marko asked Lizbeth.The little girl nodded cheerfully, said goodbye to me, and then walked quickly into the orphanage."What are you doing here?" Marko snapped."I brought some vitamins." I lifted the paper bag I brought, showing it to Marko."Don't take too long; get out of here quickly!" exclaimed Marko quietly.I shook my head weakly. I usually come at this time and come home at night. Why is Marko controlling me now?"I'll be back when it's time to go home!" After saying that, I got

    That afternoon, I got ready to go to the park. Kenan and I had promised to meet at the park in the city center."You're leaving, honey?" asked Dad while noticing my beautiful appearance."Yeah. I have a promise with Kenan, Dad," I answered."Kenan? Why don't you hang out with Steve?" Dad asked."Come on!"I rushed to go. After walking a little towards the main road, I stopped a taxi that happened to pass by."I finally arrived," I said.I sat on a park bench, thinking about a birthday present for Daddy. Since my mom died, I only have Daddy; he is everything to me."Kei!"I turned toward the source of the sound. It turned out that Kenan was already standing there, waving his hand at me. I was so happy to see him while I waved back his hand. Recently, my relationship with Kenan has gotten closer. Yeah, although he still likes to hide things.Kenan seemed to sit beside me, smiling. "Sorry, a little late. I had to queue a little while buying gas.""It's okay. I can understand. Besides, yo

    The heat of the city of Jakarta immediately greeted me as soon as I left the airport. I waved at one of the taxis, and immediately got into the taxi while the driver put my luggage in the trunk.It's been more than five months since I left Jakarta to volunteer in one of the remote towns in Kalimantan. A month after the birth of the twins, a very big disaster occurred in Kalimantan. I decided to join an organization from my campus to volunteer there. Because the conditions were so bad, I decided to stay there longer than the other volunteers.I asked the driver to take me to a cafe that I used to frequent with Violet.After arriving there, I sent a message to Violet to meet me at that place.“Kei!” Violet shouted from the entrance, making all the customers there immediately turn to look at the girl. It seems like she's still as noisy as before.Violet ran to hug me tightly.“Oh My God! Are you wearing make-up?" shrieked the girl in disbelief.Oh, yes! While I was in Kalimantan, I liked

    Violet and I immediately stood up and looked around when the group of police entered the campus area. Some of them entered the Chancellor's room, and some immediately spread out and arrested several people."What happened?" Violet screamed while hiding behind my back."They came to arrest drug users and dealers," said Vano, who had just come to us with Kenan."Does this have anything to do with Adipati's case?" I asked while looking closely at Kenan.The man just nodded slowly. I breathed a sigh of relief hearing that."Unfortunately, the perpetrator of the murder is still at large, the police are hunting him in Bali, because they fled there." Kenan looked at me with a sad look.I smiled in response to his words.“Sooner or later they will be found. I am sure of it. After all, the drug suspects had been caught, Adipati's struggle was not in vain. Now just wait for them to be found!” I said casually.Kenan smiled faintly, then nodded slowly. Kenan's cell phone rang, the man immediately

    "Wisnu?" I shouted, surprised to see who was coming towards us.I turned to Kenan who also looked confused.Wisnu sat down and drank the coffee that we previously ordered for the informant who contacted Kenan."You shopped for necessities for your sister?" Wisnu asked with a smile.I nod quickly."She's seven months pregnant so we bought some things," I said even though I was still confused."Someone keeps following me, so it's safer to meet in a public place like this, as if meeting a friend and having a casual chat," said Wisnu casually.I nodded slowly.“Why don't you message me with your own number? Or if you are being followed, you can say it in a message," Kenan said.Wisnu smiled so widely."I don't know, I'm afraid if my number is tapped or something, it's just my worry. Technology is so scary these days.” Wisnu said, trying to look relaxed.I nod quickly. I don't care what the reason is. I only need the information that Wisnu will convey.“Recently on campus, drugs are spread

    "Mafia members who are related to the Marko family," Kenan said slowly.I stared into Kenan's eyes sharply. He said it so confidently.“They did it? So, Marko's family is behind this murder? Why does it have to be Adipati? Why don't they just target me? I mean, Marko is in prison because of me, not because of Adipati. Why are they doing this?”Kenan just shook his head weakly in response to my words."I will investigate, I will bring the culprit before you," Kenan said while stroking my cheek gently."You promise?" I insisted.Kenan nodded slowly without the slightest hesitation.“I doubt if they killed him to get revenge for Marko's capture. I'm sure there are other things that make them target Adipati,” Kenan said slowly.I shook my head slowly. I don't remember if Adipati ever had anything to do with them.“Is there anything I can help you with? How are you going to investigate this?” I urged Kenan.The man just shook his head slowly, he looked at me deeply."Calm down, we have to

    I'm still here, I'm still with you, when dusk greets me, I feel your presence. You are a source of warmth, comfort, happiness. Why don't you take me with you? You went and left all these memories with me.It's too fast, I'm not ready, I'm not willing to let you go.What shall I do without you, Adipati?What should I do?"Kei..."Violet's gentle voice greeted my eardrums. The girl came to me and sat beside me. I don't want to see her, the whiny me will cry again if I look at my best friend's face.Violet just accompanied me in silence in front of Adipati's grave."It's almost evening, don't you want to go home?" Violet asked quietly.I looked up at the sky which was starting to get dark, the cold wind continued to blow at us."Can't I just stay here? Adipati will be lonely here," I answered quietly."No, he will be angry and sad if he finds out you spent time in a dark and scary place like this," said Violet.Correct. If he saw me, he would definitely be furious.“Your dad and Selena a

    Vano slept curled up on the sofa while Kenan played games on the bed. Violet cleared her throat, making Kenan and Vano open their eyes wide.“Kei?" Kenan shouted as he approached me. He pulled the IV tube closer to me who was still standing in the doorway.“Your face is very pale, are you okay?” I asked slowly.Kenan smiled faintly, then nodded slowly. Violet helped me to sit on the sofa. She then woke up the sleeping Vano and invited him to go to give me space to talk to Kenan.Kenan sat beside me, looked at me from head to toe, and breathed a sigh of relief."It's not your fault, so don't blame yourself," I said matter-of-factly.Kenan immediately averted his eyes, not daring to meet my eyes. He looked nervous. Kenan, who is always full of confidence, suddenly gets nervous when he's with me. That's how much guilt he has.I took Kenan's hand, and then held it gently, making him immediately turn and look at me deeply."This is not your fault. It's just a road I have to walk, we pass.

    Marko was still looking at me sharply, occasionally he gripped both sides of my cheeks with one hand.I don't know what was in that man's mind. He could have done whatever he wanted quickly, why was he stalling for time? What does he really want?"What if we do this? I will release you on several conditions!” Marko suddenly shouted."What conditions?""First, you withdraw your report at the police station, second, give Kenan to me!" Marko exclaimed quickly."What?" I screamed in disbelief.“You know, he's not just anyone, I had a hard time injuring him! I've already sent several people to kill him, but it seems like he has nine spare lives. Very hard to kill!”I gaped at Marko's story. Did he ever try to kill Kenan? Why didn't Kenan tell me anything? Oh, I forgot. Kenan never told me anything.“Help me trap Kenan, haven't you two broken up? It should be easy for you to do! Just like you saved Violet by falling into my trap, save yourself by bringing Kenan to me!”My tears just flowed.

    "Is this necessary?" asked Selena seeing the presence of a bodyguard among us."Only until this case is over," I said quickly.Selena glanced at Dad, and Dad just nodded slowly."How about you? You might also be in danger, rather than me, you should be guarded by bodyguards!” Selena snapped."Don't worry, I have a handsome bodyguard who will always take care of me!" I wink at Selena mischievously, making her smile knowingly."I'm sorry that I didn't take good care of you, you got into all kinds of trouble like this." Dad came closer to me and looked at me with deep eyes."No, it's not because of you, it's my fault because I used to hide everything from you. If I had just told you everything in the past, things wouldn't have gotten this bad!” I said quickly.Dad hugged me very gently. I don't know when was the last time he hugged me like this, what I know for sure, is it's been a very long time.“I will make sure to punish those naughty kids!” cried Dad with great emphasis.I didn't sa

    The sound of the phone ringing kept disturbing my sleep. Hearing Violet's screams from the cell phone made me very annoyed. If I didn't remember that my cell phone is quite expensive, I wouldn't hesitate to slam the thing on the floor right now.And seriously, why does Violet always use her voice as the ringer on my cell phone? Crazy!I straightened my body, stretched my tense muscles, and took a deep breath of air.Good morning world, today… Please don't be so mean to me.I pulled out my cell phone and picked up a call from Violet.“Please, don't fiddle with my phone anymore! Your voice penetrates my dreams, you know that?” I exclaimed annoyed.A low chuckle could be heard from the other side.“My voice is quite melodious, right? By the way, why didn't you go to class today?"Wait! What did she just say? Didn't go to class? I turned to the side, staring blankly at the digital clock lying on my table.Damn it, the clock shows that I woke up not in the morning but during the day."And
