Fredi—our best friend when I was still living in Lampung. Me, Dilan, Arsenio, Fredi, and many more. We are a group of self-defense groups that are always available in the Pencak silat room.
However, Dilan's silat was not as good as Fredi's, and he was the overall champion for the youth championships of his time.
I was a little shy when I had to face him.
However, the martial soul never separated from low self-esteem.
Fredi smiled at me while ducking silently.
Meanwhile, Jebran was still scowling at the two of us. Is he jealous of me? The thought that didn't make sense suddenly flashed past.
Fredi and I passed him while making fun of him.
"What?!" he grumbled.
"Hihi," I giggled cover my mouth.
"Foolish woman!" Jebran pouted with a knotted mouth.
We climbed the stairs, which were so high. Arriving at the place, we are going to stop at number 313.
Fredi slowly opened the door, followed by me and then Jebran.
"We have taken several pieces of evidence such as bloodstains, foot stains, socks, even many that have not seen here. I found the strangeness of the woman's death. I think this woman was about to be raped but, it didn't happen," said Fredi affirmed.
"You mean, Rape? Did she try to be brutally immoral? But, didn't end up being killed?" continued Jebran.
"Hmm, that's what I mean. Before the incident, I think this woman still had time to negotiate with the perpetrator. Unfortunately, there are no CCTV cameras here. So, we only rely on CCTV cameras from outside the building. Freddy.
"I think the killer must have had a purpose for that woman," I began to think.
"How did you come to that conclusion?" said Jebran towards me.
My face starts to get serious when I think about this case. I took out my cell phone.
"Before killed, he had sent me an e-mail. That means he already knew that someone was going to kill him soon. But, what makes me curious about this case is, the woman sent a message like that," I said, frowning.
"May I check!" Freddy asked.
"This." I handed my phone to Fredi.
"I have a photo I took from here. I think I know one of those guys," I reminded him.
"Why did you take it?" Freddy complained.
"Don't be mad! Before I thought, why is he texting as if he knows me," I hissed?
"Where did you keep it?" asked Jebran.
"Relax! I've taken the photo on my cellphone." I fiddled with my phone and then opened a photo I got from this house.
"This seems familiar to me," I said.
"Send it to me! I'll ask my partner to help find who he is?!" Freddy asked.
"Where's your number?" I argue.
"081649037497," said Fredi.
"Okay, sent!" I said with a satisfied expression.
"Wow! You look like detectives," Jebran grimaced, shaking his head.
"I'm a detective," complained Fredi.
"I mean this naughty girl," Jebran grumbled.
"Hey!" I shouted towards Jebran.
"Emira aspires to be a detective. Isn't that right, Miss Emira?" continued Fredi with a mocking expression.
"Freddy!!" I screamed.
"Oh, no wonder he always dares to fight me!" Gerunde Jebran nodded.
I sneered at Fredi as he revealed the secret of my dream.
I've even forgotten the past. However, there seemed to remind of him again.
For me to being anything now. Everything will be normal again, and there will be no difference.
After all! Even if I become a President, it will not change my destiny to avoid problems.
All humans are no different.
I shook my head while watching the jokes of the two towards my face, which started to frown.
"That's it! At least you work with a good boss like me," said Jebran patting me on the shoulder.
"Get your hands off!" my skin bulged.
"Watch out! Kittens will attack," whispered Fredi.
"Fred!! You never change," I muttered look away.
"I'm sorry, beautiful Miss! But, by the way, I didn't see Dilan," interrupted Fredi.
I was lulled by Fredi's words when Dilan, a loyal friend of mine, just disappeared.
I was stunned without words, and what should I reply? I feel less sure about Dilan's departure with his unreasonable goodbye.
I even forgot everything, even though it wasn't long before we met.

"Dilan told me to take care of Emira," continued Jebran.
"What? Dilan said like that?" said Freddy.
We're already walking down the stairs.
However, I lead their way. The two of them were still walking behind me while I was eavesdropping on their conversation.
"Yes, He begged me! It was as if he just wanted to die. He's a policeman, and why are you asking me for help?!" said Jebran was busy chatting with Fredi.
I don't care about them at all.
Tonight feels tight in my chest when the shadow of Dilan makes me miss. I was standing in front of a busy street, but not as my heart.
What am I thinking? I miss Dilan not because I like him. He is still my best friend forever.
***
In a place far away, far from my sight, even separated by a vast ocean and a long journey.
Dilan walked the road with his younger brother looked very bad. The illness from birth weighed on Dilan, bringing him to his new place of residence.
"You have to come with me. If you don't, you will suffer more. I will take care of you and take care of you," said Dilan looking at his sister's frightened face.
Suddenly, Mehmed was standing in front of the two not so far away.
"Uncle," said Dilan.
"Heh! What I said is true?! You're even afraid that something might happen to your sister. But I won't let you leave here," Mehmed said with threatening words.
"Let me out of here!" Dilan fretted with his pitiful face.
"On one condition. Bring Emira to me, and I will let you free from me," said Mehmed firmly.
Dilan was a bit confused in choosing all of this. Between brother and best friend, which one will he choose?
Dilan occasionally ducked silently while his sister grimaced in fear of hugging Dilan tightly.
"I will do it!" Dilan said, swallowing deep in his saliva.
Mehmed grinned loose while smiling lopsidedly in front of Dilan and the mentally retard brother.
Unable to see his sister in pain, he will sacrifice even his best friend. Can Dylan do it?
'I'm sorry, Emira. I like you! But, I was too scared when I saw the younger brother suffer more. I'll try to find a way. Wait for me there!' mumbled Dylan in his heart. In his tense expression led to a decision.
Mehmed is so sure of Dilan's currents decision.
Dilan, my father, and I were at stake for them, while this woman's death made me even more curious.

Jebran and Fredi will be closer to me as a result of this incident. We will be a colony ready to solve all mysteries.
"I'm ready to share the latest news for you two. From now, we will be a team!" Jebran suggested.
Fredi looked at me and Jebran's alternately.
"I'm ready! Don't blame me if you are affected," added Fredi.
"I'm going to be more serious. I hope we can figure it all out!" I continued.
Me, Jebran, and Fredi looked around at each other.
Plants, the full moon, the night breeze are witnesses in this history. Terrible things started to come to me.
