The Poison: Stories Of The Number 27
Jealous

Vina looked at her phone strangely. He re-read the messages from his best friend who was sent this afternoon and then read the previous message. Yeah, everything's obviously weird. In one day did Rani change her vocabulary to lo-gue? Vina reckon, his best friend is not a typical person who can change in a short time.

To be denied a thousand times can not. Obviously Rani would never mention the name Alvin or Cleine without frills. Rani is also not the type of person who can mix English and Indonesian.

So, if not Rani, who's replying to the message?

"The vin? Any problem? From earlier squirm cell phone mulu." Ervin's interruption made Vina a little jump. Leo and Vinca turned their attention to Vina making someone dressed in black wearing a hat down there carry on with their mission with ease. The man smiled slantingly then put on his black mask. In the dark and desolate courtyard of the school, he seized his victim and took her to the school's locust hall through an underground parking lot, so that the chances of anyone seeing her were very small. THE CCTV? Fuck that tool. He's done enough poultice where the surveillance cameras are located in this school.

The victim did not have time to scream because his mouth was smothered along with his body which was pulled by a tall thin man, but his strength could not be underestimated.

"Eong... No, I just wanted a job hehe..."

Leo shook his head slowly, not believing what Vina was thinking. "At a time when you think you still want a task?"

Vina's smile was stifled, she was still thinking about the message from Rani. The four of them looked back at the entrance below. Hopefully the sender of the message is really Rani. That was all Vina expected now.

...❄❄❄💙❄❄❄...

Towards five minutes before the staging, a security came and stood guard at the entrance of the hall. Another man went in to watch Julian, Sofia and Edwin enter and sat on one of the benches in the middle row, the seventh row. Julian couldn't choose whether he should enjoy his cousin's show or continue to worry about gas filling the room at any time.

As the event was about to begin, Julian could see Xennora and Nazril had just come and were sitting in the third row right in front of him so Julian could notice them.

After the welcoming speech from the theater chairman, the entire hall light went off except for a few dimly lit lights on the stage. The open curtain also displays the stage like a traditional Javanese house. In the yard, there is a chicken coop and lots of trees, Julian secretly appreciates the property team that makes the stage feel very real.

As the Eireen section chatted with Deandra in the courtyard of the house as part of the story, Julian and Sofia held their breaths while looking at Deandra and Eireen with a sense of anxiety.

Unlike Julian, Edwin and Sofia who slightly enjoyed the event, Xennora still faithfully struggled with his thoughts. Alvin and Cleine. What was Deandra's purpose in keeping them? Alvin's not the kind of guy who has enemies. Of course as the chairman of OSIS, he must get closer to all students. But Cleine... I don't know. The girl approaches the annoying type of person. Arrogant, haughty, pettiness, plain and pugnacious. Really the perfect type to be used as a material for gibbah. Uh! Or don't don't...?

"Eh you got a chat from Cathleen?" Asked a girl beside Xennora to her friend. His rather loud voice made Xennora's daydreams crumble and then noticed the girl beside him.

"Yes, Cate said to the back hall of the school after the break?" Friendly. It turns out they're Kaina and Raina, Cathleen Falvia's crony twins. Tumben they're just the two, where's the boss?

"Heem. Where does he sit? How can we not stop?"

"Can you shut up? You guys are too noisy," Xennora cut down to make the girl turn her head quickly and then shut up after finding out who said what.

"Sorry" Kaina and Raina said as they looked back at the stage. Before long, the phone they were holding sounded simultaneously. They were seen whispering to each other and leaving the theater even though the drama was still ten minutes away. Xennora is still unaware of the twins' departure as they return to her thoughts and opinions about what they really have to do to stop Deandra.

If true, what is the motive of Deandra bringing two sons of SAN pride? If Deandra does target popular kids, what about Herina, Julian, and even... Himself? Of course they would also be targets, but why just Alvin and Cleine? Even Xennora felt, Herina with her intelligence was more popular than Cleine with her beauty.

And also... If Deandra was busy playing her part, who would execute the plan? Can't it be if Rani continues her brother's mission? That's a betrayal - even though Xennora remembers the fact that Rani betrayed Deandra for telling them her plan - but right? Rani has to choose who she'll side with. If he really sided with them, Rani would not be willing to carry out her brother's evil plans.

Or maybe? That girl lied? He claims to be on their side but it turns out that he's going to execute Deandra's plan. Deandra is her real sister. Most likely if Rani has really lied to them. Plus, they really have never met with Rani in person to discuss Deandra's plans.

When Xennora looked to the side, where the twins were sitting, the bench was empty. Xennora gasped for a moment then convinced herself if they went to the toilet or something.

"The drama in SAN is good too. They make the groove unpredictable. But I can guess that Ratih will die with regret. And Ratna will continue to live with guilt" Nazril asked Xennora to discuss. Xennora slightly did not understand the words of her cousin because she did not notice.

But Xennora knows if Ratna is the character played by Eireen and Ratih is the character played by Deandra, as well as Ratna's older sister.

"Uhm, yeah... The plot was good," Xennora replied slightly nervously, but Nazril noticed it.

"Why hm?"

Xennora shook her head in doubt, all about Rani is her opinion. There is no evidence to justify his speculation. "Nothing, I'm just feeling dizzy."

Nazril smiled, he knew Xennora had another answer, a more honest answer. "Everything's gonna be fine, don't worry", After saying the soothing sentence, Nazril approached to kiss Xennora briefly on the forehead, Xennora still staring at the man in front of her. Feeling better because of Nazril's words.

Back there, Julian stared at them intently. What is the relationship between Xennora and Nazril? No Fadhil, now Nazril, that sucks. Ah, Julian should have rearranged to have Xennora team up with him. Julian bego, meaning in the heart repeatedly.

"Desandra acting is good too. Aye... Ju?" Edwin's question came to a slight halt as Julian looked very focused on watching. Uhm, but his gaze was not like he was staring at the stage, more likely to stare towards the row of benches below.

"Hmm," but Julian replied to Edwin's question even though it was just a murmur, meaning the man next to him was not daydreaming. Edwin looked back at the stage. Really, Julian's gaze was a little horrifying just now, Edwin suspected that the man was possessed by a creature.

Before long Julian came out, leaving Sofia and Edwin who were still focused on watching. The scene is quite sad with the death of the main character, Ratih. And the suicide of her sister, Ratna. A character also sings a sad song, his voice is good but according to Sofia, not as good as Xennora's. Even so, Sofia still shed tears directly on her caress. Some teachers and other students also often sobbed because of the promising acting of an Eireen.
