LEAFY LONGS FLOWERING SILENT
CHAPTER 33: DETECTIVE EFFORT

"Nel, I won't be able to forgive myself if you all get to the suspension. I see this as the only way to get rid of all charges. Never mind, Nel, you'll never understand." Clear Bagas.

After speaking, Bagas quickly passed to the class. Ayu, her lover, followed her with slow steps behind. There was a foreign feeling enveloping Ayu's heart when she heard Bagas' speech earlier. No one has ever sacrificed for their friends like this. He grew up in a less tolerant environment, where everyone had to fight for their own interests. The environment that protects him from the outside, so that he never feels disappointed, never feels deprived, always adequate, always, but on the other hand the thirst for freedom and happiness that he never got from any corner of his life. In recent months, Bagas has indirectly taught him to appreciate the little things that touch his heart.

Bagas had introduced him to the other side of the world which made him happy.

That afternoon Rosa invited Intan to play at her house, as usual. Chatting in the room, Intan loves to read poems by Rosa. Especially after being in a relationship with Fakih, Rosa more often wrote light poems that are carefree, compared to the previous poems that make people sad.

"Cha, elo before ma Fakih had already fallen in love?" ask Intan.

"You've never been like this, Tan?. Tumbens. What's the fuck?" Rosa asked back with a smile that adorned her lips.

Intan was silent, but his face was clear, as if saying, "Jawab dong?"

"Just like Elo Tan, I had never been in love before Fakih. Fancied and courted Ivan, but fell in love with him... Yes, this is new!" Answer Rosa.

"Eh...! Does it make any difference to have the same crush of falling in love?" Intan asked.

"Blo'on is right this kid. The crush was just like him because he was handsome, or because of one of the advantages in him. Usually because of that. For example, elo has a crush on the next door neighbor of the elo house, every time he sees how it feels. But yes, that's just that. There is no intention to love or be loved by him." Clearly Rosa.

"Trus what kind of love?" Ask Intan again.

"People's reaction to love is miscellaneous, Tan. Some do not like to eat, cannot sleep, think of the heart of the heart. Some even eat continuously, sleep also soundly, because the heart dreams of the heart. So I can't explain the definition, because it's too abstract and everyone else's reaction." Clear Rosa details.

"OK" Love the example of love so I can understand dong" said Intan again look curious use bagget.

"Many dong! Romeo and Juliet, the most famous. Die to defend love. The love I have ever felt is my mother's love. My mother poured all her love into me. There are many other examples, Tan. The legendary famous couples are usually because they died tragically defending love."

"Hmm?" Intan just muttered.

"They're famous for being like they've become love heroes. Fight for their love until the last point of blood. Prove that true love really exists and they don't hesitate to risk their lives to get it." Rosa continued her explanation.

"Why don't I ever think about it, Cha" Pinter is also elo." Intan gave his thumb.

"Rose...?" rosa said while patting her chest.

***

In her room, Nelly, who felt she had full responsibility for Bagas's problems, could not sleep that night. He was busy brainwashing, how to prove that Jimmy was the bracelet-theft man. He must be able to prove that all of Jimmy's engineering was to trap Ari but it turns out that Bagas was affected and Bagas is actually innocent. But how do" inner Nelly. "Gue seems to have to talk to Fakih, he must know the real incident because he is the class president and also I hope he can help solve this problem!" Nelly's inner voice continues.

***

The next day, Nelly actually carries out her intention to talk to Fakih.

"Kih, elo I've told all our problems, both on me, Ayu and Ari, especially Bagas. What do you think, elo!?" Ask Nelly to Fakih.

"Rare you sure everything's been eloquent to me Nel?" Ask Fakih.

"Yes, is there anything awkward about Kih, according to the elo of my story?" Ask Fakih.

"No, but the elo story is all a result of Jimmy's actions, right? All I want to know is not about Ari and Bagas, but Jimmy?!" Fakih.

"I mean elo Kih?" Ask Nelly.

"If Jimmy did it, where was he then? How'd he do it? There's no way no one knows where Jimmy is or what he did before the incident, right?!" Fakih. "Let's go through that Nel!, remember Elo?" Fakih.

"If Jimmy did it, it means Jimmy was in 2D when the kids were out in the field. To return to the field, Jimmy must pass the 2C class, where Ari and Nelly were before the ceremony began. When did he put the bracelet and the money in Bagas' drawer?" Nelly said while remembering the series of events Jimmy's existence before. Nelly thought again, Nelly and Ari were the last two people to enter the field, because as soon as they got into line, the ceremony immediately began. I didn't notice if Jimmy was on the field at the time. But clearly, Jimmy couldn't have taken a bracelet in 2D class, then to class 2A, put a bracelet and money in Ari or Bagas drawer, before Nelly entered class 2A. Seven o'clock less five minutes he's up to school. The boys had just started marching because the bell had just rung. If the assumption is correct, Jimmy must be in 2D class when I put the bag. Time will put a bracelet and money in Ari's drawer, Jimmy will definitely see Nelly and Ari in class. So he broke his intention. He was only able to put the money down after Nelly and Ari left the classroom. Because the big door to the field from 2C was closed as soon as Nelly and Ari passed by, Jimmy had to go through a small door next to the canteen." Nelly clearly remembered the harshness.

"Well, if the order of events is right what you said Nel, it means there is a word and a key witness "KANTIN" of the incident right!?" Fakih's smile requires Nelly to try to think hard.

"Yes! Thank You Kih! Elo's brain is cool!" Reply Nelly smiled happy to get enlightenment for a way out of a Fakih.

Bingo! Yeah...!!!

Nelly had to ask the lady in the cafeteria, if she saw Jimmy pass by after the ceremony began.

***

"Please remember, Mom. I know Jimmy, who's tall, who's white, skinny, squinty, right?" Ask Nelly in more detail.

"Yes. I used to see him buy food in the cafeteria." Answer the canteen mother briefly.

"And he didn't come through here yesterday morning?" Nelly.

"Shed." Answer the canteen again.

"Mom sure?" ask Nelly again.

"Related. Mom's eyes are still watching." The cafeteria's mother was visibly irritated because Nelly repeatedly asked the same question.

"Dearly enough. Do you know Bagas? Bagas was suspended for Jimmy's behavior." lamented Nelly.

"That handsome bastard? Bagas...! He's a very nice boy, the only one who gives percentages, in case you know he's not from the rich." The canteen mother explained.

"Yes. That handsome bagas." said Nelly smiling, recalling the effect of his act of revenge.

"Bagas, he was hit by a victim defamed by Jimmy, Jimmy wanted to trap Ari but who was hit by a trap he Bagas bu! It's like he stole a bracelet." Nelly is clear.

The canteen mom shook her head. "Good-god" a kid as good as Bagas couldn't possibly steal a bracelet." The canteen again.

"That's also my belief, ma'am. I know Bagas is innocent. But I have no evidence to release Bagas from his sentence." Nelly said again.

"If Jimmy's through here, can he help Bagas nak Nelly?" Ask the canteen mom to know.

"That could. Because it means proving my theory that Jimmy was late for the ceremony, and he was the last person to enter the ceremony field from the direction of the classroom building. Though I know exactly, Jimmy did not come late, instead he came early in the morning, because I saw him at half-time seven less." Nelly.

"In fact, Jimmy did this way!?" the mother of the canteen looked hesitant. "Two times even. He passed by once, then came back, gave me some money, then forced me to promise not to tell anyone he was late. He said he could be punished by the principal if caught late." continued the canteen mother.

"So right, Mom? Jimmy's really through here?" Nelly looks cheerful.

"Yes. I don't dare say that because Jimmy gave me a lot of money. One hundred thousand rupiahs." said the canteen's honest mother.

Nelly then reached into his pocket. He only had twenty thousand dollars that day. "It's Mom?" nelly said while giving the money to the canteen mother.

"Don't,?" the canteen refused. "I just want to help Bagas. He's a good boy. Please see Jimmy, give him back this money" the cafeteria mother said, giving Nelly a hundred grand.

"No, Ma. Jimmy's got a lot of money. I want you to take this money too. I just brought it in today?" The canteen mom looked into Nelly's eyes.

Nelly nodded.

"Greet Bagas when you meet, Dad! I hope my testimony can help him!." Pinta mom canteen.

"I'll try, Mom." Nelly smiled.

Nelly that morning also met Mr. Umar Yamin. After talking for a long time, calling the mother of the canteen all, after being weighted, Mr. Umar Yamin finally believed that Jimmy who slandered Ari had his impact on Bagas and Bagad was innocent.

That morning Jimmy was called Mr. Umar Yamin, and was forced to confess. Apparently because the evidence is strong enough to accuse him, also afraid of Mr. Umar Yamin, Jimmy admitted all his actions.

The suspension letter was issued immediately and tomorrow morning Jimmy will start his suspension. Three sundays. A week for stealing Reni's bracelet, a week for slandering Ari and Bagas, and another week for bribing the canteen's mother to bury her sins.

Nelly smiled with satisfaction because her small detective efforts succeeded brilliantly.

Bagas's suspension cancellation letter was already in his hands. Later he will deliver it himself to Bagas' house.

***

"Kih! Alhamdulillah! Cancellation letter Bagas has come out!" Obviously Nelly when meeting Fakih who happens to be with her lover Rosa.

"Thank God Nel!, the right one will definitely remain true and vice versa right!" Obviously Fakih smiled.

Rosa wonders, but Fakih tells her from A to Z of the incident after Nelly leaves them both with a smile and a cheerful face.
