The Poison: Stories Of The Number 27
Untold story

"Mass killer?" Xennora continued in a questioning tone making Leo on his right side immediately hit the girl's arm not too hard.

"Sadly-sir." Comment Leo. Xennora chuckled in satisfaction at the expressions of her friends.

"Calm down guys, calm down hahaha... I've changed his dream, so--" Xennora's speech was cut by Nazril to his right.

"Nazril Arkatama's date." His casual words made Julian turn his head quickly and his expression was not relaxed.

Xennora glanced at Nazril beside her slowly. "Huh? What's Na, what?" Xennora asked approaching her face at Nazril with a smile that Nazril thought was a psycho smile.

Nazril retreated slowly then smiled displaying a neat row of his teeth. He also shakes sure. "No Ra, no hehe..." His word.

After school, Delia went to the cafe. After he changed his uniform, he stood behind the cashier. His friend smiled at him. "On time, today was hard for me." Said his friend then took off his hat and apron. Delia smiled seeing him.

"Yes... Today was pretty heavy..." Delia said confirming her friend's opinion.

"I'll go home first." Pamit her friend then patted Delia on the shoulder and then left after getting a nod from Delia.

Before long, a man approached her to order. Looks like a college kid. "Cheesecake two, caramel latte three yes mbak." Said the man.

"Well, is there more?" Delia asked after writing her order.

"That's aja. Oh yeah, this is..." Said the man while giving sticky notes folded.

Delia confirmed the location of her glasses and then took a sticky note with a look of confusion. Delia wanted to ask from whom, but the man had already gone to sit on his stool.

With a slight hesitation, Delia opened the note slowly and read it. His eyes widened, a look of fear and disbelief on his face made the man who gave the sticky notes earlier look at him confused in the distance.

"What is it?' Inner man it is.

He did not know, he was just told and even he did not mind if only give a small sticky note. But, what was it that made the girl look frightened?

Quickly, Delia threw her hat in any direction, then ran towards the back door.

"Zal, I'm clearance today. There's a sudden need!" Shouted Delia while continuing to run towards the school. I wish those people were still there.

...❄❄❄💙❄❄❄...

"So... Up here?" Edwin asked who was lying on the carpet with Leo. Julian is reading thriller novels, Sofia and Eireen are also reading novels, but the genre is romance and comedy. Herina, as always. Studying on a single couch, Vinca eats snacks, Ervina's sisters play games on the computer. Xennora and Nazril sat quietly on the sofa.

Fib. A word that can describe the current atmosphere. It was Edwin's words that brought their attention back together.

"Dih, don't go. You all must also help me to find out who the perpetrator of the terror. I don't think the girl had anything to do with terror." Said Leo who got a faint nod from some who heard it.

"Capek Ra?" Nazril asked with a smile. His voice was not so loud that only the two of them heard it. Ah, naw. But Julian did too.

Of course, Julian was sitting in front of them where he might not have heard.

Xennora smiled tiredly then nodded slowly. Nazril patted his thigh several times, of course with his trademark smile that was still plastered.

"then you need a rest." His words made Xennora smile. This man in front of him knew very well what Xennora had always needed. He was also happily lying down. Nazril chuckled at her, she stroked Xennora's hair softly, the thing she always did every time they met.

This did not escape Julian's eyes. He sighed several times until Herina who heard him looked at Julian strangely. Even Julian flipped the pages of the next novel with a non-relaxing gesture until Herina shook her head slowly.

Before long, the door opened very tightly while Julian was still coolly struggling with the pages in his novel. They were shocked to hear the sound of the door opening nonchalantly. To the extent that Julian who was flipping the page with the bar bar accidentally tore the paper.

"Ohuk..." It turns out Vinca choked on the snack she ate and was given a drink by Eireen.

"Sorry..." Tweet someone at the door after realizing what he has done.

"What else is Del?" Ask Sofia. Delia slowly walked in and closed the door. Ervin and Vina started to approach. Delia also gave Sticky notes that she got earlier to Edwin who had sat down. Xennora also rose to see what writing was inside.

"I told you it was a secret... Ha?" Leo read the note aloud so that others would know it too.

"meaning?" Ask Julian.

"On me telling you why I confessed. I think he knows..." The girl's voice was shaking.

Herina blinked in disbelief, "could you?" Asked but answered with an unknown sign from Delia.

"Relations... Your feelings haven't told us yet, who told you." Xennora's words made them nod except for Delia.

Delia sighed softly, "without me mentioning it, I'm sure you guys also know who did it." Delia said slowly. Leo gave him a code to sit, Delia who understood immediately sat down with the situation still feeling awkward.

"Devan?" Ervin asked after a few minutes they struggled with silence. Delia simply looked at him without making it clear by saying yes or no. From his face, he looked a little scared when he heard that name.

"Yaudah, if you feel unsafe, you can stay at my house tonight." Herina's bargain that Delia's rapid-fire reply.

"Nothing, no need brother. Thanks though. I have to go home, mom and sister I definitely haven't eaten. Then I'll go home first, excuse me." Pamit Delia then walked out of the lab and closed the door. After Delia's departure, they looked at each other but struggled with their respective minds.

"He's... It'll be safe, right?" Nazril's question made them all shake faintly. Either it means not knowing, or maybe they feel Delia will not be safe.

Before long, Vina sat beside Julian while carrying her notebook.

"I'm trying to figure out the history of this school. Well it turns out that the oddity suddenly appeared in the 2007/2008 school year. Eight years ago. School was fine until that school year. All of a sudden, a lot of students are bullied but they really don't want to tell who the bully is. Until dozens of students choose to transfer schools rather than continue to be bullied. And, yeah... Brother Xennora is right. Their absent number is 27. In 2007, it was still a bully and not too terrible. But, the more here, the braver the culprit. Until 2015 it has entered the phase of terror." Obviously Vina while occasionally looking at his notes.

"Eight years old yeah... Then the culprit is not student dong? Not the school staff anymore?" Guess Vinca. They agreed with Vinca's opinion.

"It can be tuh."

"Year.... 2007? Wasn't there a mass death that year?" Julian's question made Xennora look at him in surprise. Usually parents will not let their children remember the dark incident. That's why Xennora has little trouble finding information about the incident if not from the internet which is often added or even reduced. But Xennora is also unsure if Julian got the information from his parents.

"Mass death? Where's?" Ask Eireen.

"Loh, you don't know? Mass deaths in Bandung....." Answer Julian. But they looked at Julian not understanding except for Xennora and Nazril. Julian looked at them one by one until he saw Edwin and Leo looking at Xennora awkwardly.

Xennora realized it, sure. Especially now that almost everyone there was looking at him, no matter what the meaning of that gaze Xennora herself did not know. "What?" Asked Xennora lazily.

Edwin and Leo seemed hesitant to ask his sister, while the others still did not understand the situation and just smiled awkwardly.

Xennora was aware of the topic they were going to discuss, and it made Xennora sigh and then get up and grab her bag and go out. "Gue went home first. Come on Na." Pamit Xennora then took Nazril.

"Eh yes. I'll excuse you first." said Nazril quickly then took the map on the table and followed Xennora who had gone down the stairs.

"Xennora knows something, I'm sure. As long as I'm alive, he's the most mysterious person I've known. My own sister. I don't even know who Xennora's birth mother is." Said Edwin who was possessed by Leo. Edwin's remarks reminded Julian of last Sunday, when Xennora revealed one of his greatest secrets. Julian feels a little good about himself because he knows a secret that is not even known by Leo and Edwin who incidentally his brother Xennora himself.

"Yes, Xennora even has more knowledge about things that are arguably not too important, but also needed. It made my point of view to him change, so much more... Wow, it turns out that Xennora's thinking is elusive, but it's also cool." Said Herina who was taken by Vina considering the key incident in the back hall of the school earlier.

The entire Fachrunaldo family is closed. It is mandatory to know for those who want to deal with them. But there was someone even more secretive and mysterious. That's Xennora. The nature of even the girl's way of thinking could not be understood even by her own best friend and brother. And maybe Xennora has a lot of secrets in her life. To date, two secrets have been revealed. First, Xennora once admired Julian who had been out of nowhere and proven by the bracelet initialed JK. And secondly, Xennora's biological mother is Carissa Putri, a famous singer who also now serves as the wife of a director of a private television company.

Is there another big secret besides that?
