THE PRINCE OF THE NORTH POLE
TATA WEARS A MASK

"Do you know they were our upperclassmen?" Tanya Bayu was a little suspicious.

"Yes, yeah. know! we're one school even though I don't know everyone in my school but Bay faces the faces of our senior children.." Answer Tata is rather brick-styled.

Bayu does not immediately believe one hundred percent. He suspected Tata was involved in the incident. Because he knew Tata really hated Ara. But he had no proof of what happened, the only way he had to investigate it directly on the two delinquents.

****

Tomorrow at school Bayu deliberately came early to investigate the two students who locked Ara in the toilet yesterday.

Bayu deliberately waiting for their arrival is pushed into class XII.

Some time Bayu waited there but the two students did not look at his nose. Until he finally gave up and decided to return to class alone with a face cobbled.

He passed Ara and the Star that had just come. The star caught an annoyed expression on Bayu's face.

"Why are you early in the morning that your face has been bent?" Ask the stars to wonder. Ara was curious.

"Gue waiting for a guy who yesterday ngunciin Ara on the toilet. But I don't find them. Fuck emang !! I think they know they're looking for it so it doesn't look like his id.."

Answer Bayu with a tone of emotion.

"Obviously you won't find them. And the light is so rich. What a fool they are!"

Timpal Star instantaneously. Ara tried to digest the conversation of the two guys in front of her. Looks like they're trying to investigate what happened yesterday.

"You want to investigate the issue? don't worry about lupain! The school has received its report. Let them investigate everything.." Ara tries to narrow between two tall bodies in front of her which reflexively makes Bintang and Bayu create a distance so that the cute girl can be stuck between them.

"Ra, if it's stuck lo I can't get it. I have to know exactly what their motives are ngunciin lo in the toilet kemaren!" said Bayu while trying to reach one hand Ara but Bintang hurriedly clasped his hand.

"Mouth dong said that! hands don't have to follow men!" The star narrowed its eyes looking at Bayu sharply.

"Why? she's.." Not yet Bayu finish his talk Ara immediately shook his hand to make Bayu silent.

"It's not the time to fight now! I'll go back to class if so!" Ara immediately ran away leaving the Star and Bayu who were still staring at each other with agonized faces.

Before long the star's phone rang. The star keeps its distance from Bayu when it sees his screen name. Bayu narrowed his eyes.

"Boss, I've caught one of them! I'm in the usual place we hang out" said someone from inside the phone.

"okay good. Hold him there, I'm there now!" The star hung up her phone and immediately rushed back towards the parking lot. Bayu who felt strange with the attitude of the Star planned to follow the Star was silent, but his steps stopped when he heard the bell in. He only looked at the Star car that was speeding away from the school gate with a question mark. Who called the star? and why did he skip school? there must be something important until the Stars are so in a hurry to leave school.

***

Yesterday afternoon when he finished playing futsal he purposely gathered his friends to give him an important assignment. Some of his friends are children from outside his school but some are his upperclassmen in Bina Bangsa, so it would be very useful to find information about the whereabouts of two students who had tried yesterday to lock Ara in the school toilet, let alone many friends who were the same age as the two students.

The star rushed straight to the second floor where his friend was holding one of the students.

The stars come into the dressing room. He had seen the student flanked by two schoolmates named Ari and Kenzo. Ari and Kenzo are her upperclassmen at school. The two of them managed to track who was involved in locking Ara yesterday because Ari witnessed one of the students himself entered the class with a bruised face condition yesterday. And that has become a strong reason if he was the one yesterday who had gotten a raw bogem from the Star. So it was most likely that student was one of the two hoodlums that locked Ara away.

"This isn't the boss?" Ari asked by putting the student's face up with both hands so that the Stars could see it more clearly.

"Yes, he's the one!"

Reply to the Star, whose eyes spark the flames of anger.

"It's Beni Tang, I happen to be my classmate, he's the guy! he likes malakin temen school class even I also stamped on the same page he used to fit early school! I'm suspicious of him because he came back to class with a bruised face of abis cake!"

"Pengkhianaat lo!!!" timpal Beni with a fierce face. He tried to untie the rope that tied his hand back. But failed because in addition to his hands tied, Ari and Kenzo also held his shoulders with both of their hands.

"What's the motive of lo ngurung Ara in the toilet kemaren son of a bitch!?" The star pulled the collar of Beni's shirt with a gaze full of emotion.

"No motive what! I'm just another prank!" Beni answered casually with a face of desire.

The star clenched its jaws trying to restrain its emotions from exploding.

"Did anyone tell you?" Ask the Stars.

Beni shook her head with a wry smile.

Stars don't believe that. He believes there is a motive and there must be a mastermind telling him to. The star breathed a long breath. Looks like Beni won't want to open his mouth if it's just macerated. There are other ways that stars think. Removed from Beni. Then the star immediately pulled something out of his pants pocket. A few pieces of red money managed to make Beni's eyes bulge.

"Lo want this?"

Ask the Star while wagging the money sheet to Beni's face.

Ari and Kenzo look at each other in wonder at the behavior of their boss. The wrong people want to be given money.

At first Beni tried to be indifferent, but when Bintang again added a sheet of money that this time he took from his pocket, Beni could no longer pretend to not want to.

"Honest answer. Who told you to? I'd love all this money if you'd be honest with me!"

Beni looks worried. He has promised to keep his mouth shut and will not involve Tata until he is caught. But the money offered by Bintang is obviously bigger in nominal terms than he got from Tata yesterday. Beni was confused by herself.
