Became Calm

It's been a week since Putra's death due to murder, and since then, strange messages have started flooding the homepage of Zefa's phone as if she is currently being terrorized by a red hoodie.

The terrorist who called his name red hoddie also did not hesitate to call Zefa at midnight.

This made Zefa's days dark because she lived in fear of death. Faithfully he tried to convince himself that everything would be fine but in vain.

It wasn't until her feet re-entered the school area that Zefa tried to strengthen her resolve and find out who had been terrorizing her despite the fear in her heart.

It's been a week since she saw Joshua as if she's on earth, sometimes Zefa wants to find out about the man's whereabouts, but her desire to protect Joshua makes her stubborn.

At the scene, there is still a black and yellow barrier fence, there are still several policemen who are investigating who the perpetrator of the murder is.

Zefa tries not to interfere with Putra's death, but if the perpetrator is the same, he will surely be splashed by the perpetrator's evil as well.

The atmosphere in this morning's class was so calm, Zefa stepped into her backseat and found a letter lying on her desk. "What is this?" He tore the top of the letter, then unfolded the letter.

Zefa's eyes widened as she saw a bloodstain strewed all over the paper she was holding. Swallowing her saliva, Zefa began to read the letter.

'Second death, 3 months ahead.' So much so that her trembling made Zefa fall to the floor, both her palms began to feel cold accompanied by her uncontrollable breathing.

He could not imagine what would happen in the next 3 months.

"Be-means the next death ...." Elsewhere, Joshua sat pensively alone on his classroom bench. He thinks about the fate of his relationship with Zefa, which has no direction.

"Argh! How could he not have called me for a week? The girl was always teasing me," he grumbled, kicking the table in front of him to the point of making a commotion.

From outside, a student accidentally heard a commotion, he hurried to see the state of the classroom and found something interesting in his opinion.

"Wih ... Joshua is angry," Ari said in a mocking tone. He put the bag he was carrying on the chair and approached Joshua who looked angry.

"What's up bro, try the story." Hugging Joshua's neck, Ari sat down next to him.

"Are you insulting me?" said Joshua with a sharp look at Ari. At that moment, Ari raised both his hands and gave up.

"Ma-mana maybe I dare to insult you."

"Yeah. I'm just confused, why did Zefa not see me even for a week we never exchanged news." Joshua pulled his face and painted his gaze on a photo on his cell phone screen. The restless face became more visible from his face.

"Hmmm, maybe he's pulling a thread." Joshua turned to Ari and asked, "Pull the thread?"

Ari smirked when Joshua didn't understand what he meant.

"Yes ... he doesn't want to be close to you now and maybe later he will approach you on his own," he said, raising his eyebrows.

For a moment Joshua tried to digest Ari's words, he cupped his hands and placed them in front of his nose.

"Pull equals away, stretch equals approaching and thread is our relationship."

"Yes, you're right."

"But, still you can't accept this. I'm sure during the break the girl will accept my feelings." Joshua looked ahead with a sharp look in his eyes. He plans to meet Zefa during the break.

"Are you going to force it?" "If it's necessary, I'll do it." The scattering began to adorn Joshua's fierce face.

'I just said it and he would do it? He's the crazy man I just met, 'Ari thought a little horrified to see Joshua's expression.

The classroom atmosphere was very crowded, moreover, the teacher who was supposed to come in the first hour had not yet appeared.

In the crowd, the sound of footsteps from black vantofel shoes was heard walking in his classroom area. Zefa who realized that just kept quiet, she knew who the owner of the shoe was.

He, who was sitting on the bench in the corner of the classroom, tried to neutralize his thoughts which were angry because of a bloody letter he was receiving at this time.

He wants to find the mask behind the events that have haunted him all this time, but if it involves the closest people, the situation in his nature will get worse.

Zefa tried hard to twist her brain, but what she found was only evil thoughts that kept drawing.

"How is this? What should I do?" He thought as he bit his lower lip. Until a familiar voice began to be heard and was greeting one class, the whole class became calm and the students returned to their respective places.

Zefa who was fighting against her mind could only bow her head with her hands supporting her cheeks.

"Good mother, today you will make new friends."

"Zefa look there are new students." Hearing the sound of Maria's shout made Zefa suddenly burst, her friend did not know what Zefa was thinking until one class stared at her who was confused in anxious.

Including the teacher who was teaching at the time, he did not see it, however, he could feel a pair staring at him intensely.

Finally, Zefa raised her head and stared at the new student. Her black monolith grew taller as she saw a face that seemed unfamiliar to her.

'He ....' he thought with a feeling of doubt and surprise.
