The Poison: Stories Of The Number 27
Theory

Julian was speechless, staring at Xennora in disbelief. No, he wouldn't believe it this easily.

"Hahahaha kak, kanda..." Xennora. He also did not know why he wanted to joke now. But, given Julian who he said he once liked it, it still made Xennora distrustful.

Thinks.

Julian smiled, "if that's the case I'm one hundred percent sure."

Now Xennora was silent. His heartbeat rumbled again, causing Xennora to turn her face away and hit her chest slowly, hoping that her heartbeat would return to normal.

"Ekhm. So, you mean... Deandra's sister's not as good as us?" Xennora asked diverted the conversation.

"No. His attitude towards everyone is also. But I felt, there was something else behind his attitude, something..... Weird."

"Don't understand."

Julian sighed then tried to explain back. "When we met him at Rooftop. He said the gate wasn't locked. I was obviously the same Edwin who had been shaking the gate. And even if it's not locked, Devan-Devan won't get into school through the back wall, right?"

Xennora was still not convinced by Julian's opinion. Could it be if Devan went straight to the back wall without finding out if the main gate was locked or not?

"And... Why is Deandra holding a black hoodie in her hand, which is also used by the Devan?" Julian continued, but Xennora remained silent. Now he is on the verge of believing in disbelief.

"Keep the second. This is in my opinion anyway. Deandra knows who Sofia is. Inget? Time to talk in class. She knew her full name was Sofia."

Xennora looked at her Green Tea, trying to remember what Deandra said.

"Sofia was with Eireen, just passed by."

"Sophia.... Raneysha?"

"Yes... Lo know?"

"Hm? Yep... He became quite famous among the Theater children, because he turned out to be his cousin Eireen."

"Ohhh yes..." Xennora muttered after remembering what Deandra said back then. But it's only natural that people know Sofia's name? He's the head of the exkul dance who has the best performance this year.

"Lo didn't forget, did Sofia include the target of the perpetrator?" Julian's question made Xennora nod small.

"Yes, I want to. But it's natural that students in SAN know Sofia?"

"What's a fair middle name?"

Xennora closed her eyes tired, she nodded a few times, approved Julian's opinion this time, then looked back at Julian beside her.

"Denger, okay I believe. But for mastiin, I guess I don't look too far away from him. You know what I mean? So there is evidence too. Who knows if he's suffering from something like me." Xennora's words made Julian shake firmly.

"So. Can't do. Please Sen, stay away from her. I'm sure he's more dangerous than what we're discussing right now..."

"Sister, I'm sure. I'm sure I will take care of myself. The cave will be careful..." Xennora convinced Julian. I don't know since then their relationship is a little better. Yeah, well, at least there's no word of assault and shouting between them right now.

Julian sighed heavily, "okay, in my supervision but." Final Julian made Xennora smile then nodded in agreement.

"Loe... You know anything about 2007?" Xennora asked suddenly after a few minutes of silence. It was nothing, Xennora was only curious since when Julian learned of the incident.

"Ah... Aye! That's what I want to ask you too! The other one is kayaking... Don't know about the incident?"

"Well, do you know where you're from?"

"From the book." Julian replied innocently making Xennora choke while drinking.

"Book?"

"Yes. Books... I forgot the title. It's ninety percent conspiracy, the rest is fact."

"There's a book like that... Very dangerous..." Xennora Mumbles.

"Lo knows too, right? You know more than me? Story dong!"

"What to tell a story? My men don't know anything." Xennora replied lazily, with a bit of fretfulness.

"Ck, no fun. Gapapa, I can see on the internet." Challenge Julian while taking out his phone. Xennora looked at Julian lightly.

'Just try it, find it.'

Julian typed something. Mass deaths in West Java.

"Not even the mass death of animals that came out of it?"

Julian gave up, the articles that came out were only articles about the mass death of fish on the coast of West Java.

"What's with that evidence, you know why not everyone knows about the events of 2007? Especially young people now like we're gini." Xennora. Julian put down his phone and looked at Xennora seriously.

"Lo bener's. In addition to young people who do not want the initiative to know, old people also have no intention to discuss the incident again? This... Bizarrely. Which I picked up eight years ago... Just news of the sinking of KM Levina I."

"Ship KM Levina I majored Tanjung Priok - Pangkal Balam which burned in the Sunda Strait and then sank on February 22, 2007. Five days before that. Really?"

Julian nodded, slightly impressed by the full explanation Xennora gave.

Xennora chuckled as she turned her face towards the garden. "It seems the issue of the sinking of the ship was a transitional issue. As long as I asked other children about the events of early 2007, their answers were always the same. If not the issue of illegal drug painting, yes the issue of the sinking of Levina's ship."

Julian speechless. "Lo must be this lonely selma. No story." Julian's words made Xennora look at the man not accept.

"Who said? There's kok!"

Julian smiled at Xennora's spontaneous reply. "That means you really know a lot about mass death? Hayoo..."

Xennora sighed after noticing her stupidity. Julian's smart, too. "Ck, yes yes, I know, but not too much."

"Good girl's. That's all I want to ask."

"Diddid? That aja? Pake maksa-kaksa everything."

"Yes. I'm too paranoid to be afraid I'm a macem-macem. Take it easy Sen, I know what privacy is." Obviously Julian made Xennora look at him as if to say 'sook yes.'

"Whose picture? You're the same two brothers lo?" Xennora asked while receiving the photo that Julian had thrust.

Julian shook his head softly, "gue took the photo from my best friend."

Xennora looked at Julian, a sign that Xennora wanted to know who Julian's father's best friend was.

"Yes, Mother Carissa's husband." Julian replied staring at the shady Xennora. Xennora nodded slowly and then looked back at the photo that was now in her hands.

"At that time, I had played to a television station had om Irfan. He's stories, about the news that is very electrifying the world of television, especially the entire community of Indonesia. Even the news went abroad. Irfan didn't know what the news was. But for sure, I'm sure the news in question is mass death news."

"And this photo... This is also a gift from Irfan. He said their father made and circulated dangerous illegal drugs, and that he would eventually be jailed for life." Julian's gaze, which was initially glaring, moved to look at Xennora who was also looking at him curiously.

"For a long time these three children were missing, not found until now. Some say they killed themselves, even kidnapped." Julian was still staring at Xennora's sparkling black netra.

"So, what does mass death have to do with it?" Xennora did not understand.

"Lo do not think that if humans are already angry with something or someone and will never forgive it, he will do something called revenge?"

"Ohhh.. Really, really..."

"And you're aware of something again?"

Xennora who was initially smiling understood now changed the look of her face to be lazy, have no clue. "What the hell? The picture is fine a feeling."

"Ck. You are unconscious? Look at the highest girl. Do you think you want to be a law officer?" Julian muttered his last sentence.

"Yes...? Continues to?" Xennora's question made Julian close his eyes patiently. Basic insensitive, his mind smiled patiently.

"So gini loh dear... I think this girl's gaze is similar to Deandra's. And most likely, Deandra's back for revenge, for not taking her father to jail." Julian replied as he stared at Xennora sharply. Xennora could only laugh awkwardly when she heard Julian's first sentence.

"Aahhhhhhhhhh... Yes, I understand. So, is it possible that Deandra Callena is the son of a scientist now imprisoned for producing illegal drugs?" Xennora looked at Julian. Julian raised his eyebrows, as a code that the clue that Xennora mentioned was at the heart of the matter. But because again Xennora was insensitive, he looked at Julian strangely.

"Kc... You didn't want the first clue when I told you there was a chance his son might get revenge?"

Xennora nodded.

"And now you know who his son is?" Julian was trying to be patient.

Xennora nodded again.

"So conclusion?"

Xennora was silent, looking around awkwardly, reluctant to look at Julian because she did not understand him at all. A few seconds later, Xennora turned her head towards Julian, smiling, feeling guilty that her brain was being disturbed. "No, I don't really know anything, brother."

Julian breathed lela. "Can't, it can't... He's too nervous I can't get angry.." Julian's inner.

Looking at Julian who seemed to look tired, Xennora quickly opened her voice before the man said something. "Yes yes I understand, so you mean to return to SAN Deandra for revenge by making terror terror?"

"More than that. I think yes, this is Deandra...." Julian's words hung while staring at Xennora who was also now looking at him curiously.

"My man of mass death 2007." Julian kept Xennora silent.

"HAHAHAHAHA...." Xennora's laughter broke as it also made Julian stare at her flatly.

"Hahaha you think, brother, how old is Deandra Callena still eight years ago? Ten years? Ten-year-old children can make 27 people die, especially the majority of adults. No way, brother..." Xennora's comments in between her laughter.

"Judah whatever, it's just my opinion." Julian replied indifferently.

"Don't take it personally, I just don't believe me..." Xennora said with the rest of her laughter.

"I think it's gonna rain. Home yuk. Take the picture." Take Julian who is directly called Xennora.

Xennora walked away from the park, followed by Julian. Soon Xennora stopped making Julian inevitably have to stop.

"Why? Is anyone missing?" Ask Julian.

Xennora shook her head, "why are you following me?"

Julian was silent for a while before realizing the intent of Xennora's question. "Oh? Don't want to be in anterin, do you?" Ask Julian.

"No, brother. Later brother go back and forth, go home." Reply Xennora.

Julian nodded then smiled, "Jude, I'm first. Lo be careful." Julian said then walked away after seeing Xennora smile thinly and then nodded. Before long, Xennora went from the park to her house in the opposite direction to Julian.

As Xennora was opening the gate of her house, the girl's netra focused on a paper right beside her feet. He also took a paper that turned out to be the photo. The picture is not very clear because it is dirty. Suddenly someone came out of his house makes Xennora reflexively keep the photo in the pocket of his alma mater.

"Cook just got home, Sen? Eat at Nazril's?" Edwin asked, opening the gate.

Xennora smiled awkwardly, "yes, that's it. Mama and I have come home?"

"Udah, be careful if you pass their room, do not make a sound. Papa's sensitive."

Xennora nodded and entered the house, while Edwin went to the supermarket. Xennora was seen walking casually, but in fact she felt wasteland, especially when passing through her parents' room.

"Where have you been?" A heavy voice behind Xennora made the girl freeze, then shortly turned her body to see the father, at least that's what the 40-year-old man was holding from his children.

Just as Xennora turned around, her left cheek had already been slapped by her father. Xennora was surprised, her hair covering her face. But he was too bored to cry under these circumstances.

Rafael held up a form in his right hand containing the value and potential of Xennora to be what it is going to be.

"You can be a judge, but why?! Why do you want to be a prosecutor?!"

Xennora snorted and then smiled obliquely, "rather than being a singer, right?"

Rafael clenched his hands and prepared to slap the girl in front of him again before Xennora cut off his remark, "The basics don't know themselves-"

"Why? You're mad that I'm a prosecutor just because you miss Zenara? Or are you even more angry if I become a singer just because of Mommy? You realize? If I go, Dad will be more fucked up than now. The only real family of my father is Xennora. Mother and even Zenara, are no longer by my father's side. Our family is incomplete Well, first mother and second Zenara. Or the... Haha... I think you'd expect me to be third?" Xennora's gaze turned mellow.

Rafael lowered his hand slowly, his gaze was not as angry as before but his expression was still flat, "father doesn't need your silly questions, or even all your words. Don't be a prosecutor, Xennora." Final Rafael while emphasizing his last sentence then left Xennora who was sighing tiredly, then walked towards his room.
