Our High School's
Seeking Perpetrators

Aya opened the crowd in the living room of her house. His suddenly limp feet made him slightly stagger as he stepped. With her tears beginning to break, she approached her father's corpse covered in rags.

He came home this afternoon with his hands. His smile that never missed was always full of warmth. Aya never imagined it was the wave of her father's hand and final smile. If he could have known it was his last moments, he would have stayed by his father's side.

Aya hugged her father's body tightly. Her usual crying is now getting broken. The eyes of her mother and her two sisters were also swollen. The entire distant family of Aya had also arrived at their home. Daffin who drove Aya could not do much to comfort his friend. He just kept her company while giving her support and encouragement to keep Aya strong.

After her father was buried, Aya asked Haira about what had happened. Haira says that her father came home as usual. He arrived half an hour after Haira arrived home. But when Maghrib arrived, his father suddenly left the house with a panicked and hurried expression.

The curious Haira followed her father out. He saw his father coming out with three men and riding in their car. A few hours later, my father returned home. But he looks different. His steps were weak, his face was filled with sweat and his father immediately went to the room and did not come out again.

Seeing the strangeness of his father who did not come out of his room, Haira tried to knock on the door to wake him up. Haira still thought that her father was too tired to fall asleep long enough. There was no sound from the room. Haira opened it and found that her father had breathed his last.

"Did you call the doctor? What's the reason why dad died?" tanya Aya sobbed.

Haira said she and her mother immediately called the nearest doctor. After being examined, doctors diagnosed her father as having died of a heart attack.

All suddenly quiet. If the cause is a heart attack, it is inevitable. But what makes Aya feel awkward is the story that her father went with three strangers who were not recognized by his family. Oddly enough, he died after meeting them, when at first his father was fine.

No different from Daffin who also felt the awkwardness. But he only held it in his mind until Aya herself discussed it first.

"Fin, do you feel anything strange?" tanyakanya.

"What, Ay?" Daffin still did not dare to express his opinion.

"What is possible. the three people.." Aya's voice choked, her sentence stopped as her tears came down again.

"We can't confirm it yet, Ay" replied Daffin.

Aya understood that conjecture alone was not enough to be proof that her suspicions were correct. Aya and Daffin suspect that the three people who met his father were the same person as the one who came to them at school and chased them this afternoon.

Aya felt that if her suspicions were true, it meant that she was the one who caused her father's death. If that is true, those who pursue Aya and the drugs they carry, have made her father a payment for the defiance Aya has committed.

***

The shadow of her being the cause of her father's death frustrated Aya for several days. He becomes more often moody and easily emotional. Even Haira who still did not know what was happening, was often ignored and was subjected to her indistinct anger.

He was also absent from school. Even though the school started loose after the exam period, but they still oblige their students to enter. Surprisingly again, every day Aya saw one person who always stalked her house from behind a tree in front of the house. Aya sees it but pretends not to know that she is being stalked.

Meanwhile, Daffin and Arka also began not to enter school. They begin to become pigeons in order to carry out their revenge plans. Daffin has also told Aya not to leave the house for a while, and promised to find out about her father's death.

***

Daffin and Arka returned to the cafe where he had met Om Benny. The cafe with the hidden rooms has now been a little different. The first time Daffin went to the cafe, there were only a few customers. But now a lot of customers are coming, especially school children.

They entered a heavily guarded room. Daffin also met again with Boni the Ketapel. Daffin felt like he was back in his dark times. It was as if he had been buried back into the mud that had drowned him. The shadow as he endured his pain in the rehabilitation center was used as strength by Daffin so as not to be tempted to take the drugs again.

"Is he the kid who ran away with the drug?" shouted one from behind.

Daffin turned his head and he saw Om Benny yelling at him.

"Yes the boss, he's the one. This is the same thing that was yesterday as a substitute" said Boni.

He pulled Arka's collar and dragged her forward. Benny looked at him with a sly look. He grabbed Arka's head and whispered to her.

"If you do something stupid like your sister, you'll be done"

Arka's guts shrieked slightly hearing it. But he still tried to calm down, even he only returned with a smile.

Meanwhile Daffin kept a close eye on the place. He tried to find the person who was chasing him yesterday, but he had not found him yet. Suddenly flashed through his mind the shadow of Aya's face crying over her father's departure. There was a slight feeling of guilt lodged in Daffin's heart. If it was true that his father died at their hands, then it would be a painful blow.

***

The person who was watching Aya's house had disappeared. Aya did not see them again after calling Daffin. He also suddenly thought about it. All this time he had never helped Daffin, even when he knew Daffin's past, he burdened him with his problems. He was trying to figure out a way to help Daffin.

Then he remembered when Haira said that her father met the three foreign men. He asked Haira if she saw the faces of the three men, but Haira did not see them because the night was very dark and she only saw them from a distance.

"But there's one way to know their faces, sister" Haira said.

"Where?"

"Pipe.." said Haira.

Haira tells that Dipa was around her house after delivering food to Haira. He assumed Dipa was still around when his father left with the three men.

"What does Dipa have to do with this?" aya asked confusedly.

Haira explained again that Dipa always wears a helmet with a Go Pro camera on it. And if the calculations are correct, maybe the three men will be recorded on camera when Dipa is on the way home.

Without delay Aya asked Haira to call Dipa immediately and ask for camera footage of her helmet on that day. And sure enough when the tape was sent, the prediction was proved. The three men were recorded with their father. Their faces were also clearly visible as they passed through a shop with bright lights.

Meanwhile at the cafe, Boni cs had Daffin and Arka come out and deliver their customer's order. Of course, followed by some catapults who are ready to hunt if they escape again.

And how surprised Daffin was when he saw the Ketapel that was stalking them from a distance. He saw the man who was chasing him yesterday. And at the same time his phone rang, a message came in with a photo.

This is the face of the man who went with my father. Do you recognize him?

After reading Aya's message, and seeing the photo she sent, Daffin's face suddenly turned pale.

He saw the face of the person who was chasing him, scouting him at this moment, with the one that Aya had sent, all the same.
