"This is impossible... Arrghhh...!!! Why a person like him could escape from all the mistakes he creates? This is unfair." Zachary gasped and speak by himself after he read the newspaper. Mum, who stands near him starring him curiously and whisper to her son's ear "what makes my handsome son think so hard? Why he looks so nervous and upset?" Zachary looked at his mum fast and smile to her with say "nothing mum, everything is ok and under control."

Bell door ringing... 

Mum, walk to open the door, she saw one pretty unfamiliar face smile into her. 

"Hello, my name Charlotte, Zachary's friend. Are you Zachary's lovely mum?" 

"Yes, I am Zachary's mum. I never know that Zachary has a pretty friend like you," said her curious.

Mum, let her come inside and sitting in their cozy living room.

"Charlotte? Is that you? Wow... it is a surprise. How do you know my home address?" Asked Zachary's curious.

"I called to our University and asked your home address to them," answered Charlotte simple.

"Do you know that Don escapes from those murder cases?" Ask Zachary a bit upset with that news to Charlotte.

"Yes, I have heard about that Zachary. My conclusion, he has proved that he is not the one who murders them, so the police officer must release him with no strong evidence to hold him longer there."

"Well if not Don, It means the real murder still free out there. This is crazy. Our university still dangerous."

"I believe so Zachary. What's your plan now?" 

"I have no idea Charlotte, too many cases at our university now."

"Are you will leave our university or stay there until your graduation time?"

Zachary breathes so deeply and say "I am not going anywhere Charlotte, you can see what kind of life I have here. Without the scholarship, impossible for me to continue my education like what I have now."

Charlotte smile and say "I am very proud of you Zachary. You are a very kind, honest and humble guy with a beautiful heart and also brilliance brain."

"Aahh Charlotte, well said. You make my heart melted many times. Wish you know, I like you since the first time we met. I do believe with Love At First Sight." Said Zachary to himself. He does not have the courage and bravery to tell the girl who sits in front of him about his secret feelings to her.

"Zachary, why suddenly you're so quiet? What do you think about? Are you mad with my last words?"

"No, no.. not at all Charlotte. I am just thinking too hard and far about this case," said Zachary quickly.

Charlotte smile and say "I will follow your step, Zachary. I will survive to study there."

"No Charlotte, please do not follow me. I don't want something worse happens to you. Please do not hold your step if you wish to move from our university."

"Relax, I believe you could protect me there. As long as with you I believe I'll be fine."

"Ohh Charlotte, you make me worry now. Are you sure about your decision?"

"Yes, I believe I am."

Mum steps closer to them with bringing some fresh lemon juice and snacks on her tray. Zachary helps her to put the tray on the table.

"Thank you so much mum, you're the wonderful woman that I ever have had in this world."

"Son, why you never tell your mum that you have a beautiful friend like her?"

"Thank you so much Mrs. Wilhem," said Charlotte shy with a smile on her red face.

"Please don't be shy to drink a fresh lemon juice and eat the snacks," said Zachary's mum before left them.

Charlotte only nodded and smile.

Zachary and Charlotte arrive at their university togetherness. Most of the students discuss and speak about Don and all murder cases happened lately.

"As we know, something bad already happened and frightened us. I hope this all nightmares will over as soon as possible. So, we could back to study normal with no fear feelings." Said Mrs. Samantha.

"They release Don, it means the murder still escapes around and the possibility he will terror us again." Said one student followed some nodded from her class friends.

"I believe the police officer knew already what they gonna do. Please keep on your mind to trust them as always." Said Mrs. Samantha again wisely.

"What this university decide for Don?" Asked Zachary quickly.

"The dean already decided that Don couldn't be back to study in this university again, even the police officer said he is not guilty and released him." Explained Mrs. Samantha.

"But the terror still on a place because the real suspect still dancing freely out there." Said one of another student with a worried voice.

"Yes, the police officer must arrest fast the real murder withhold strong evidence with them. So, the suspect can't escape from their hands." Said El following agree with the voice from her all class friends.

"Ok, students. All of you please calm down now. I want you to focus back with the project. Since that case happened, the project stuck in a place." Said Mrs. Samantha again.

"How we could focus on our project if we still frightened and worried every time we stepped into this university." Said her student.

"Yes, Mrs. Samantha. We are not ready with our project." Said one another.

"No need to collect or presentation our project Mrs. Samantha. Please remove that project from us." Said the other student enthusiasm.

"I am not interested to continue our project Mrs. Samantha, this sound dumb and stupid." Yelled another student emotional.

Mrs.Samantha gasped and says "I understand with your feelings, but please stay focus on your education also. This project most important to all of you to level up to the next level this summer.  No excuse, I don't want to hear any excuse, I harm myself to do that. Your project must complete and ready for the presentation next month. Please stay focus and be professional as a student. This project becomes a big responsibility. Once you failed to present your project it means you are ready to accept all of the consequences including getting a kick out from this university. Until that time coming, no more tolerate to all of you."

All the students just nod without saying any words until the bell ringing and change the lesson.
