The Poison: Stories Of The Number 27
What is The Hell Is That?

Xennora entered her favorite room at this school. Not Rooftop, library, UKS, lab let alone toilet. This room even he stamped as his room. No wonder, only Xennora who often visited this room besides the band. Yes, the music room, Xennora's favorite room when she first became a new student here. About five years ago, in the first grade of Junior High.

Although rarely visited by other students, musical instruments here are quite complete and well maintained. If it wasn't Xennora and the band that took care of her, it would be the school's cleaning service.

Room soothed. The walls are soft, the guitar and violin are neatly lined, as well as wind instruments such as trumpets, saxophones, clarinets, tubas, flutes and others. Two harpha also leaned neatly beside the violin. Pianica, harmonica and angklung neatly arranged in a shelf. In the corner of the room there is a drum, and a keyboard next to it. And several other traditional and modern musical instruments adorn the room of dreams of music lovers.

And most striking, in the middle of the room there is a shiny black piano that is right accompanying the large window that almost meets one side of the room. The view that can be seen behind the window is very beautiful, namely the garden behind the school which also has a fish pond and a fountain in the middle.

Although the name of the park behind the sekokah, the atmosphere is not as quiet and scary as in horror stories. Precisely the atmosphere is warm, many students pass by to just calm the mind while doing the task. And the back garden also, which is used as a shortcut to the mosque by the school residents who will perform dzuhur prayers.

In addition to providing enough light for the music room, the window also serves as a place to find inspiration for the band's children. Likewise, Xennora, if she was given the task of making an essay, then this place also provided inspiration for her.

Xennora drank the green tea smoothie she brought. At that moment, he remembered something. Which really doesn't matter.

"Well... I forgot to say thank you." Xennora Mumbles. Although Xennora and Julian fought a lot, it did not mean that Xennora did not have to thank you for this little thing. After all Julian was good too, having delivered this to Xennora who even their class distance was quite far. Xennora herself is often lazy if Edwin or Leo tells her to go to their class.

"Let's see you later too... Create fights.." Xennora muttered again while chuckling. He approached the piano in the middle of the room.

Xennora sat on the chair. He kept his drink downstairs. After taking a breath, he began the song by pressing the piano keys to create a beautiful rhythm. A song that seems to express his feelings now. A song for someone he didn't even expect would be on his mind all this time. His hands seemed to dance him over the piano, beside it the large window seemed to be a fitting backdrop for those who saw him in the window next to the entrance. The large window is right facing the entrance, as well as the location of the piano that automatically accompanies the entrance as well. 

Des yeux qui font baiser les miens,

Un rire qui se perd sur sa bouche,

Voila le portrait sans retouche

Homme auquel j'appartiens

Quand il me prend dans ses bras

Il me parle tout bus,

Je vois la vie en rose.

The game stopped, Xennora was silent. It seems like this song is too much for someone he just stamped as a pretty decent person five minutes ago. Moreover, he was the opponent of his debate for five years. Trying not to care about it anymore, Xennora resumed her song.

The girl was unconscious, the man who triggered her desire to sing this song was watching her through the door that was slightly open earlier.

Il me dit des mots d'amour,

The et ca me fit quelque chose.

I est entre dans mon coeur

The une part de bonheur

Don't je connais la cause.

Silent for a few moments. Xennora daydreamed, in her heart she laughed at herself. Why this song? Ah, no. Why is he thinking about Julian? If you say like it can't be this fast, right? Less than two hours he likes a guy who is always at odds with him? Why does this sound funny?

Alright, forget. He had to finish the last line of this song.

'Come on Xennora, think of another man, brother Fadhil for example.' Xennora's inner self who is trying hard to remove the person named Julian from his mind.

C'est lui pour moi. Moi pur lui

Dans la vie,

Il me l'a dit, l'a jure pour la vie.

"Waaah... Your voice is so good! Didn't think I was!" Said a man at the entrance. Xennora turned her head cautiously, afraid that the man was the lead in the song she sang five minutes ago. And yes....

Fortunately not...

"Eh Brother Fadhil..." Sapa Xennora then stood up. Fadhil smiled as if to return Xennora's greeting.

"Oh yeah, can you sing for elise? That's my favorite song."

"Eong... Not good." Xennora said nervously. Fadhil immediately stood behind Xennora and lowered his head slightly as Xennora was sitting. When viewed from anywhere, Fadhil seemed to be hugging Xennora from behind. Then, Fadhil held Xennora's hand to lead her to press the keys.

One thing that Xennora did not realize, again, a man saw their closeness at the entrance window and then smiled resignedly and sighed and left there feeling incomprehensible.

Honestly, Julian had never felt this kind of feeling in his life. His feelings are mixed, angry, sad, strange, and some other feelings that he cannot describe. And more strangely, he felt tightness, as if he wanted to cry but was restrained. Julian didn't feel that sad.

Julian leaned next to the laboratory room which was usually quiet because it was located at the end of the building. He neutralized his breath and his body slumped. If this is true, if his feelings are true, then should Julian feel weird and even laugh at himself? Come on, they were just chatting lightly and playing the piano but Julian was overreacting like this. What if Julian saw Xennora cuddling or even dating another man? Is Julian going to die in a moment?
