It's not what she expected 14 : Revealed!

The library's silence thickened, oppressive and electric, as if the very air held its breath. Dust motes froze midair, trapped in the slanted shafts of pallid sunlight.

"Let's begin," Farhan declared, his voice slicing through the stillness. "I'll tell you everything I know about Emeka. We were… acquainted years ago."

Putri frowned, her fingers tightening around the edge of the table. "Why dredge up her past? I thought we were here to discuss *your* mess with Sebastian." looking Dewi with suspicious eyes

Dewi leaned close to Putri, her lips brushing the shell of her ear. The whispered words were swift, venomous—a secret too sharp to share aloud. Putri's eyes widened, a flicker of panic darting across her face before she schooled her features into neutrality.

"What was that?" Farhan narrowed his eyes, sensing the shift.

"Nothing," Dewi said smoothly, her gaze unflinching. "Private matters."

Farhan snorted. "Ahh oke. So without further ado, I'll spill what I remember—though don't expect a masterpiece. I barely paid attention to her." He leaned back, chair creaking like a bone. "We met in middle school. She was… crazy girls that always active during school. She really love to gains attention to everyone, like pick me if we interpreted it. But that what I know is she had bestie, bestie that more famous than her because she known everyone in class and she really kind, different than Emeka that have bad attitudes and really jealous towards everyone in class, even her bestie when got high points when exams. one day, she and her best friend skipped class. Then Vanished."

Putri stiffened. "Vanished? What do you mean? I don't get it"

"Poof." He snapped his fingers. "her bestie never came back, her parents are worried, the teachers too everyone searching her but no one's knew, even Emeka don't know where she is. Seven days later, they found her body dumped near their neighborhood. Strangled, I think. Or stabbed. The details got fuzzy. Everyone blaming Emeka, suspecting her but she knew nothing. Police even introgated her but null result"

A chill seeped into the room. Putri's voice trembled. "they blamed Emeka?"

Dewi just listen so seriously, so she doesn't ask for it.

"Because of a photo." Farhan smirked, as if relishing the absurdity. "They'd taken a selfie four hours before the girl died. The cops pinned it on Emeka, but—" He shrugged. "No arrest. No trial. Rumor was her family had ties to the authorities."

Dewi's breath hitched. "Authorities?"

"Judges. Cops. Who knows?" Farhan traced a crack in the table, his tone casual, almost bored. "Truth buried, cased closed."

" and what you know the selfie is 4 hours because she die? It's kinda...."

"ahh, because they got videos from Cctv. I don't exactly what police doing but yeah, i just know but i don't know the exact details from that case"

Putri's knuckles whitened. "And you never questioned it? Never wondered if she—"

"Why would I?" Farhan interrupted, his laugh brittle. "She was just another ghost, i don't care about her life, you know i just got to have same group with her and she is trash like she never ever appreciates what friends doing, she's so crazy. except for me, she always nice to me, but not to everyone. Dewu said she likes me, meh i don't give a shit with her"

"wow, that's rude" Dewi said

"don't care. So that's what i wanna tell, and this is the picture of her, I got it from her when my birthday. I don't wanna save it anymore, that's for you, 4 of pict of her alone"

"wwe, that's goodthing you can do... Lol" Dewi said jokingly

"so yeah, I gotta go. I have nothing to do here anymore, just do you, i don't wanna do shit especially with her anymore, i'm done with her. Anyways, don't forget Dewi what we discussed earlier, sent me to dms or just calls me via phones. I don't wanna... You know "

" yeah yeah, i will send you everything i know. So thanks for your support. Nahh, i give you one pictures. I know you'll love it" giving weird pict of Sebastian when sleeping in first day of college.

"whoaa, thanks a ton. I really love this" Farhan smiling, wided smiles

"no pros. Be careful in road, oke? Ja"

"Okey. Ja"

Farhan then leaving the library, with smiles and happiness in his heart, because of that little picture of his crush.
