Chapter 2

Today, Dita was in her class, 11th grade IPA 1 at Garuda High School. She was sitting with her classmate, Evi, and gossiping.

"I want to tell you a story," Dita said, looking at Evi seriously.

"You've been talking about your feelings for a while now."

"Ishh, I want to tell you. Listen!"

"What story? About your ex again? Haven't moved on from him yet?" Evi had guessed first. Lately, Dita had been talking about her ex, whom she had dumped for cheating on her while she was still dating him. Dita was the one who decided, she was also the one who was gamon.

"No, I've moved on," Dita lied. In fact, she still loves and hopes that her ex will return to her.

"Good. So, what's the story?" Evi asked, adjusting her sitting position comfortably.

"So, I was working overtime last night. On my way home, I heard a scream, when I saw that the direction of the sound was from the empty house that I often pass by. I peeked, eh there was a guy who shot a girl weyyy, imagine." explained Dita at length, with an expression that was difficult to interpret.

"That's good," said Evi briefly. Making Dita roll her eyes.

"Good you say?" asked Dita incredulously.

"Yes, it's good, he shot his girl in an empty house. That's an effort that requires above average courage skills," Evi didn't understand what Dita meant by 'shoot'.

"Your courage skills, he shot her with a gun,"

"HAH?" Evi almost fell out of her seat in shock.

"Yes, he shot her with a gun, three shots until the girl died," said Dita fearfully, while Evi was still gaping in disbelief.

"Shut your mouth." Dita, who saw Evi continue to gape, reflexively closed Evi's mouth.

"You're kidding, right?" asked Evi still in disbelief.

"I'm not joking, I'm serious. The incident continues to play around in my brain, it was very clear when the guy shot the girl, my reflexes screamed."

"You shouted? Didn't he hear you?" Evi asked, her eyes now bulging.

"Obviously he heard it,"

"Oh God," Evi exclaimed, she covered her mouth with her right hand.

"So, I ran away. But he chased me."

"After that? How come you're still alive?" Evi began to fear Dita, maybe this was just Dita's spirit.

"When I ran, he chased me. After that, he threatened that if I kept running, he would shoot me, so I spontaneously stopped. Then, he told me to turn around, he's handsome if you ask me, really handsome, but I think he's a psychopath."

"So what?" Evi was getting carried away.

"I thought he was going to kill me, but he didn't. He wanted me to be his girlfriend, crazy. Obviously, I refused." Dita said, making Evi shake her head.

"So what? When you rejected him, wasn't he angry?"

"I don't know. But he doesn't like it when I speak harshly."

"That's crazy, Dit. Good thing you didn't do anything to him."

"Thank God, God still loves me," Dita said with a nod from Evi.

"But, I feel sorry for the girl who was shot, what was the reason why the guy shot her to death," Dita seemed to be thinking, as did Evi.

"Maybe he got revenge for that girl," Evi opined.

"I don't know, hopefully the girl will enter Heaven, Husnul Khotimah, Aamiin." said Dita.

"Aamiin,"

Now, Dita and Evi were walking intending to go to the canteen, but seeing many students crowding in front of the principal's room, made them both very curious, what were all the students crowding there?

"Oh my God, so handsome,"

"That's my husband,"

"My future husband,"

"Hopefully a match."

"Crazy, inhumanly handsome."

At least, that's what came out of the mouths of the female students in the crowd. Making them both even more curious.

"What are they looking at?" Dita jumped up and down unable to see because of her short body, plus the number of people in front of her.

"I just see a lot of heads," Evi said.

"Whose head?" asked Dita.

"All the students."

"Oh."

"Let's go to the cafeteria." Evi said.

"Come on, instead of staying here, I can't see, I'm short of breath, yes." Dita turned around, intending to go to the cafeteria with Evi.

"STOP!"

Only about 15 steps they both walked, someone already called out to her making them reflexively stop and turn in the direction of the voice.

Seeing that person, made Dita even more breathless, while Evi even chuckled at the handsomeness of the guy in front of her.

"Run, let's run!" Dita's hand grabbed Evi's hand, intending to invite her to run from there. However, Evi refused, continuing to stare at the boy who started walking towards them. Dita was of course already in a cold sweat, the memory of last night's events swirling in her brain.

"I'll see you again," said the boy, smiling at Dita. While the one being smiled at was scared to death.

"I have nothing to do with you," Dita said curtly, but the look on her face couldn't lie that she was scared.

"Tsk, I warned you not to say that. You're stubborn, you should be punished," the boy smiled a smirk at Dita, making her swallow hard.

"What, who are you? Go away, we don't know," Dita said, then left the guy, not forgetting to pull Evi who was like someone hypnotized by the good looks of the psychopathic guy.

"How come you brought me here anyway? The view was fun," Evi smiled as she remembered how handsome he was.

"He'll kill you, you know!" said Dita irritably.

"What do you mean?"

"The guy I told you about this morning is the one," Dita explained.

"Ah, I don't believe it." Evi clearly didn't believe it.

"I swear by everything, that's the guy." Dita said seriously.

"You're not joking, are you?" Evi asked probingly.

"I'm not kidding, Vi. You don't see my face pale like this," Dita pointed to her own face.

"Eh yes, your face is really pale," Evi just realized that.

"Hey, can I join you?"

Dita and Evi reflexively turned their heads to the side, finding the psychopathic guy standing right next to Dita while smiling like a demon.

"No, you stay away," Dita shooed him away. Honestly, she was afraid of this guy.

"Aishhh, your punishment has doubled. I warned you, don't ever use that word. Do I need to do something to you first for you to understand?"

"What," Dita was at a loss for words. Meanwhile, Evi stayed in place, silent, even looking at the boy's face she was reluctant.

"Dita Isna Tsabita, nice name," the boy looked at Dita's name tag.

"Thank you."

"Don't you want to know what my name is?"

"No."

"Radya Abriel Rakasiwi, just call me Radya." said the boy whose name turned out to be Radya.

"Yes, Radya. Now, you're leaving, right?" said Dita again.

"3 times, your punishment increases." said Radya. It seemed like he really had to make Dita understand.

"I'm going to class, come on Vi." Dita stood up and was about to leave. However, her steps were blocked by Radya.

"You go, tell the teacher that Dita is sick and is in the School Medical Room" Radya ordered Evi. Making Evi immediately agree without further ado, and left the two of them. Before that, Evi turned to look at Dita languidly, encouraging her through her eyes.

"You, come with me," Radya grabbed Dita's hand and took her somewhere.

"Ehh, let go!" Dita tried to struggle, but Radya's strength was stronger than hers.

***

Radya ignored Dita who had been struggling to be released, he took Dita to the empty room that was no longer used. Brought her in by force and locked the door from the inside. Making Dita tremble with fear.

"What do you want?"

"Sttt, keep your voice down."

"I'm going out," Dita stepped away, intending to leave.

KREEKKK...

When she was in front of the door and wanted to open it. Suddenly a knife that was thrown from behind stuck right in the door that was parallel to Dita's head, making Dita shocked beyond belief.

"Turn around," Radya ordered, Dita slowly turned around.

Radya walked towards Dita with slow steps, while smiling a smirk.

"Basic, naughty girl," Radya's hand moved to take the knife stuck in the door.

"I'm going out," Dita squeaked softly.

"What? What did you say?" Radya put his ear to Dita.

"Let go of me crazy guy. I want to get out, I want to study," Dita began to shed tears.

"HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY HUH? DON'T USE THAT WORD. I don't like it!" Radya shouted right in front of Dita's face.

"Sorry." Dita looked down and cried. She was very afraid of Radya.

"I forgive you, but you must be punished," said Radya.

"Don't punish me, I'm sorry."

"This is so you don't dare to speak harshly to me."

Radya raised Dita's sleeves to her shoulders, then raised the knife.

"What do you want?" Dita was already panicking to death.

"Make a painting," Radya said, staring at Dita's smooth shoulders.

"What painting do you mean?"

Not answering, Radya wrote the initials R on Dita's shoulder with his knife.

"AAARRGGHH, it hurts," Dita groaned as Radya began to stick the knife in her shoulder. Her tears began to fall along with the blood that began to come out.

"Hold on, just a little more," Radya said innocently.

"It hurts, stop." Dita continued to sob.

"Done," Radya smiled as he looked at his work on Dita's shoulder. Initials R.

"Why did you do this?" asked Dita, still crying.

"This is nothing, there's more punishment for you than this."

"You're crazy."

"HAHAHHAA, I am crazy."
