Mentari, Vivi, Mila, Anna and Liam are in Senja's office right now.
There are two other teachers in Senja's office. The first is Mr. Indra, a gym teacher and the second is Mrs. Nina, an art teacher. They were both in the teacher's office, when Senja and his five students entered the BK office. After asking what happened, Mr. Indra and Mrs. Nina decided to come into Senja's office to listen to the explanations of the students.
Just like before, Mila, Anna and Liam shared what they knew and saw. They found no one else in the class. That means, no one knows who the perpetrators is. Meanwhile, Mentari was still crying. She didn't know what to do because her mother's necklace was stolen.
Seeing Mentari not stop crying, of course that made Senja confused of what to do. He would rather face Mentari who is always angry to him than Mentari who cries. His jaw clenched and his hands clenched into fists without him noticing.
"Mentari," called Senja. He cleared his throat and looked at the girl with a stern look. However, Mentari did not turn around. She kept her head down and let Vivi calm her down. "You better go home now. You need to calm down at home and rest. Let me take care of this theft problem, as well as the other teachers. I promise, I will catch the culprit soon and your necklace will be back to you." Senja then looked at Vivi. "Vivi, can you take Mentari home?"
Vivi nodded. "Yes, Sir."
"In that case—"
"What if Mr. Senja also takes Mentari home with Vivi?" Mrs. Nina spoke. The woman smiled faintly and stroked Mentari's hair, which was still sobbing. "I'm worried if I just let Mentari and Vivi go home together. Mentari is also in a state of shock. I'm afraid something will happen on the road and Vivi will have a hard time dealing with it."
Senja was silent for a moment and seemed to think. Then, the guy nodded firmly. He really can't let the unstable Mentari go home alone with Vivi. No one will know what will happen to Mentari and maybe Vivi will not be able to do anything if she is alone.
"Then, I will call my friend so he can give us a ride," said Senja as he pulled out his cell phone from his pants pocket. "Mr. Indra, Mrs. Nina, is it okay if I ask my friend to come here to take us to Mentari's house?"
Both nodded. Then, it was Vivi who first realized that the friend that Senja was referring to was Awan. The girl immediately froze and looked down, then quickly shook her head. She realized, this was not the right time to quarrel with strangers. Mentari is the most important thing for now.
Half an hour later, Awan Nugraha was right in front of the school gate. He waited for the arrival of Senja, Mentari and Vivi, according to orders from Senja. This is not a problem for Awan because he is not busy and has nothing to do. His schedule for today had been finished since eleven o'clock earlier.
"Hey, is she okay?" asked Awan in a whisper. He drew closer to Senja and glanced at Mentari who was already like an undead. Her face was pale and sad, and she is still crying. Vivi is still on Mentari's side and continues to comfort her. "What's really going on?"
"There is a thief in my class," said Senja in a cold tone. "And there have been many victims. Mentari just became a victim today, but she said that she had felt she was being watched since two days ago. And, what is missing is the necklace left by her deceased mother."
Awan are silent. He took a deep breath and opened the back door of his car for Mentari and Vivi. The guy also glanced at Vivi who was still giving him a cold stare, like a few days ago. Awan wanted to ask, but the guy also realized that now was not the right time. Then, before Awan got into his car, he approached Senja.
"Hey, Sen, does this girl named Vivi have any special trauma to guys? Or, she's been... err... harassed by guys, maybe?"
Senja's eyebrows raised one. "I don't know about that. So what? Look, don't be a pervert, Wan. You can be a playboy, but don't try to get close to girls from my school. They are underage!"
"I may be a playboy, but I'm not someone who likes to prey on underage girls!" Awan snorted. "Besides, it's not a matter of liking her or anything. And even if I like Vivi, you have no right to control me. It's a matter of heart and love. Only, the problem is, why do I feel that Vivi really hates me? It's like she's disgusted with me, it's as if she hates all guys who are older than her age."
Senja's brow furrowed. "I don't feel that way. She acts normal in front of me."
"That's because you're her teacher," Awan grumbled and pointed to the front passenger seat. "Go on. We're going now."
On the way to Mentari's house, no one spoke. Senja occasionally glanced at Mentari who was sitting behind. The girl fell asleep on Vivi's shoulder. A faint smile appeared on Senja's lips, feeling grateful that Mentari could calm down and fall asleep.
"Vivi," Senja called, making Vivi blink. "Don't you know who the people who might be jealous or have a grudge against Mentari? You said earlier that Mentari felt like she was being watched, right?"
Vivi nodded. "Honestly, I don't know either, Sir. We do feel that Mentari's behavior has been strange for the past two days, but Mentari has only just told us everything. Incidentally, Mila heard and she also told that some people in the class lost their things. When it comes to jealous people... I don't think there is. You know the true nature of Mentari, don't you? So, Mentari always hides her true nature in front of everyone at school. If she has enemies from outside the school, I can understand. But it is impossible for outsiders to enter our school just to take revenge on Mentari, because other people's belongings have also disappeared. But, if it's someone who has a grudge... mm... maybe a guy who was rejected by Mentari last month?"
Senja and Awan's brows furrowed when they heard the story. Senja then turned his body so he could look at Vivi. "The guy whose love was rejected by Mentari?"
Vivi nodded. "He's from other class, Sir. His name is Arya. He had said that he would not be stand still because he had been humiliated by Mentari. He said, Mentari will get the consequences later."
"Wow, what a gentleman," said Awan with a cold tone and snorted. Vivi glanced at Awan, then focused on Senja again.
"We have to investigate him," said Senja. He looked at the sleeping Mentari, but tears still flowed from her eyes. It seemed that Senja felt sad too and angry with the people who had made Mentari like this.
"Mom...," Mentari whispered in her sleep, making Senja's jaw harden and he looked back at the front. His attitude made Awan glance at him.
"Hey, if it's true that the person who stole was a student at your school, don't be a judge by yourself. Remember, you're a teacher and he's a student."
Senja is silent. In his heart, he promised to find that person tomorrow!
