While the Class President (mutu) was out buying more flour ,milk for the pancakes, Hana approached kan and dragged her to sit and talk with Tan, wanting to know why he always acted like he didn't see his classmates. She asked him while he was playing with a puzzle. Than seemed normal, focusing on his game, but Hana took the puzzle from his hands to look at it and complimented him on doing well! Kan looked at Hana. Without waiting long, Hana spoke, sounding a little boastful, saying she had played even more difficult puzzles, but tan's work was good. While talking, she turned to look at tan's face, as if the two of them knew each other.
Aren't you two afraid to enter a guy's house?
Ah! You know how to ask questions? Hana spoke teasingly, and it worked Tan fell silent. He seemed to dislike having many people around. Then he said, "Go make the pancakes. Don't Come back to my house next time, make them quickly, and then leave!" His words seemed a bit too much!
Kan couldn't tolerate it and stood up angrily in front of him, intending to tell him to reconsider his words, but she hesitated because he was staring at her. However, she spoke softly and normally, saying, We don't want to come either! Hearing this, Tan smiled, stood up, and patted her head, smiling, "Then go now!" kan was stunned. Hana laughed! The two looked at her, surprised. Why was she suddenly laughing?
Hana walked slowly to the nearby kitchen. From there, she could see them from a distance. She walked and talked, "Don't fight like children. Just wait for me to finish the pancakes, and then I'll leave! I came here simply because I wondered why you doesn't participate in some class activities?". that he seemed isolated from the school's collective activities! She spoke while preparing ingredients to make the pancakes, as the Class President, mutu, was about to return. Tan looked at Hana's face, seeming to understand her words. He didn't deny anything and sat there, continuing to assemble his motorcycle puzzle. Kan sat looking at his face, with many questions in her mind.
Is he suffering from amnesia? He's so different from how he acted on the evening of the Khmer New Year and before! He is really hard to understand. While she was thinking, Tan accidentally looked at her.
When mutu returned, he had bought a video game, because he saw there was a TV that could be connected to games. Tan said nothing. Even though Mutu invited him, he didn't want to play and preferred to sit and assemble his motorcycle puzzle, leaving mutu to sit alone and wait for the two girls to make the pancakes!
Hana asked kan to come and help. She had mixed the flour enough to start cooking, so she asked to go to the restroom, leaving kan to fry them. She accepted, thinking she must do it well, but the color of the pancakes made mutu get up to look, because they smelled slightly burnt. He walked over, telling her to lower the heat, acting like he was very skilled. He laughed because Likan fried pancakes were not clean, broken, unsightly, and a bit burnt. He took his turn to fry. She looked at him, surprised, and asked him, "Are you the Class President or not?" The fire was barely turned off! That's why it took so long for the pancakes to cook, and they were ruined! The two laughed at each other.
Hey! Are you a person who laughs like that? The Class President asked her like that to stop her from laughing. At first, she stopped laughing, but then seeing the Class President's face, which looked too similar, she laughed again.
They were fighting over flipping the pancakes when they accidentally bumped the hot pan, making the pancakes fly out. At first, they both dodged, but seeing a good pancake about to fall, kan reached out to catch it. She knew what happened it was very hot! She screamed, "Ouch! Ouch!" and shook the pancake, then put it on a plate.
Immediately, the sound of footsteps and wind came up behind her. Tan's hand and body were standing behind her. He grabbed her hand and put it under the water. He didn't say anything, focusing on kan's red hand, but when he couldn't stand it anymore, he told her to stop looking at his face! That made Likan surprised and very embarrassed. Meanwhile, the Class President dodged so hard that he bumped into the cabinet and hit his butt. He was still laughing at that moment, probably laughing to console himself and hide the pain.
Hana heard the sound too, but she didn't even turn to look down. She continued to walk, with her hand behind her back, walking around and contemplating the beautiful paintings on tan's wall. Wait, didn't she say she was going to the restroom? She probably didn't go to the restroom and came to walk around and look instead! After walking for a long time, she saw a painting. She stood and looked at it from the outside, which was very strange. she stood there for a long time! It was a painting of a clearing with an old forest, slightly dark. It showed leaves that looked so real, as if they were actually there. This leaf made Hana accidentally say that the smell of the leaves was very fragrant!
After looking, she went downstairs and saw Likan burning her hand. She laughed that kan still had time to make a challenging face at the Class President. Hana went to ask the President and Likan is anything serious happened, then told them to sit on the sofa. "I'll cook!" They seemed to obey her, which was really funny! Hana cooked while glancing at tan from behind, smiling, waiting for a few more minutes.
The pancakes are here!
Oh, they're beautiful. Mutu said Hana can cook pancakes too? After saying that, mutu sighed and turned to kan, Hana probably doesn't want anyone to not envy her! She laughed and replied, "That's true. I also felt that way before. But, come on, let's eat the pancakes!"
Tan, who hadn't eaten anything, saw the pancakes and went upstairs in his house, leaving them to sit and eat alone. They could only stare at him from behind. A little later, they left, taking the assignment sheets that Tan gave the Class President with them.
You seem happy today! Hana smiled back at kan. Because I got to hang out with you!
The Class President reached the road he had to take, but before leaving, he told Likan to prepare herself for tomorrow, saying he would help her, so she shouldn't feel nervous! Kan smiled and thanked him.
Suddenly, mutu's words made kan realize something she forgot to tell Hana! Now that they were home, she should have told her, but she completely forgot. Now, she turned to look at Hana, smiling apologetically. She grabbed Hana's hand and told her that she had found the DNA of Ree's blood that matched the blood on the hammer! Her revelation made Hana stunned for a moment, then she asked, "What do you think and should do?"
"Nothing, just tell the teacher, and I also want to know why he suddenly did that?"
On the way, Hana said, "Ree, from what I met and knew of him, he was a very good person. But when he met Li kan, he turned into that kind of person." They reached their respective homes.
Back at tan's house, after they left, Than came downstairs and saw the pancakes covered and left for him. He stared at them for a moment. He had also seen it before, which made him think of something. His voice came out, "This is the second time she cooked for me!" Then he started eating, as if he had been missing that taste for a long time.
Hana was about to walk towards her house when she suddenly saw a car with one man and one woman. The man called the woman : sister (a word for respect if they don't know).
The man's face seemed reluctant to come here, but his senior insisted on coming, even though it was against the investigation order, which was officially closed! While they were talking, a soft voice, like a lovely girl's, spoke it was Hana's voice.
"Sister!" Her voice made them turn and see her. "Do you need anything, Sister?" Hana's face acted strange and afraid of them, trying to show that they were strangers. A normal student like her would naturally be a little afraid!
We are police investigators. We just came to ask is your parents are home? Oh, they are not home they are both at work! .Then can we come in? Hana: "Oh, yes."
After getting permission, they entered, observing that her house was indeed very large. That made the junior officer exclaim silently that she lived in a big house alone, which was better than him, who was a police officer living in a small room! The senior officer knew what he was thinking and cleared her throat to tell him to stop thinking nonsense.
Hana led them to the sofa and got them water as a courtesy. Then she sat down, knowing they wanted to question her.
A picture was shown it was a picture of her face and an outfit consisting of a short jacket, long pants, and a black inner shirt, with the beautiful fabric gloves she wore that day. Hana saw it and kept a normal face and looked at the police. Seeing her like that, the Police Woman asked, Why did Pud follow you that day? A video was shown, showing Pud indeed following her, but he looked drunk, swaying and trying to catch up with her. Hana's words would be recorded!
Am I being investigated by the police? She acted normally afraid, as a normal student would be when a police officer came to question her. But her question seemed to hit the police's point actually, they were not allowed to investigate, but she insisted because something felt strange.
"Oh, no! We just want to know more." Hearing the police's answer, Hana smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth, but she answered as is she didn't know they wanted to know about her.
Yes, I wore that outfit that day. I walked there because he set a meeting with me there! Police Woman: Then why did you act like you didn't know him?
Hana paused at this question, but answered quickly before the next video was about to be shown. "He set a meeting far away, and I was afraid, but I was afraid that he would harm my friend because of me, so I decided to go. On the way, he was drunk. I didn't want to walk near him, so I pretended not to know him until I reached the meeting place! The police officer was about to show the video, but Hana described it first.
"What did he want you to go there for?" Hana replied without hesitation: "He loves me, but I refused many times. But that day, he suddenly threatened me that he would cause trouble for my friend But my friend doesn't know about this. Even though he met my friend once, he used the excuse that he wanted to know my friend and asked me to contact my friend. So, I didn't think much of it, thinking he wanted to know my friend. But after he chatted with me, he didn't ask anything about my friend, so I didn't chat back either, because he was my boyfriend's friend. But he bothered me so much, so I blocked his Facebook chat, but he probably got my phone number from my boyfriend. He always threatened me that I had to talk to him, or he would tell my boyfriend that he was trying to contact me. Because I didn't want any more trouble, I agreed to chat back at night, but I found his threats tiring, so I stopped talking. I saw that he didn't tell my boyfriend, so I was relieved, but he came and said that if I didn't meet him, he would cause trouble for my friend. Hearing that, I felt even more uneasy, so I went to meet him at the location he set. I really didn't want to go. The video also shows that I wasn't happy.
Good! Thank you for telling us. Why didn't we see him walk or use any means of transportation, and why did you come alone, and you even dared to ride in a car with a stranger? Aren't you afraid? "I didn't want to stay long. After he said his piece, I didn't want to listen anymore, so I left first, and he was so drunk that he slept on that quiet road. I walked along the road, and after a while, a car stopped and asked where I was going to give me a ride. Seeing that, I didn't refuse, because I was upset and angry at Pud's earlier trouble.
The police seemed to have more questions, but suddenly, the door opened, and Hana's dad entered! He came in a military commander's uniform. The two police officers stood up, seemingly knowing that Hana's dad had arrived suddenly, and looked at Hana, thinking, This girl is not simple.
Oh, I thought you wanted to ask my father something, so I called him to come. So, he's here. She asked to leave for her room.
Hana's father smiled and told them to sit down again if they had any questions for him. Seeing his rank, Hana's dad could have handled the two police officers by citing the closure of the investigation, but he didn't, because it wouldn't look good. However, the police didn't formally question him. they just asked why he allowed his daughter, a student, to live in a big house alone. "Aren't you afraid for her safety?" Hana's dad just smiled and said that he also wanted to force her to change schools, but because her friend was here, and she was used to it, and he and his wife had also lived in this area for 3 years, he knew that this village was a safe area with no problems. "Besides, she is confident in herself. I trust my daughter very much! But does this matter need to be asked of my daughter again?"
The junior officer tried to signal to his senior that they wouldn't ask again, but she turned back and told Hana's dad the truth: "The case is closed, but I am not satisfied. I just want to ask more. Can I bother to question her again?"
"No!" He refused and walked inside.
The Police Woman stood up. It was the first time she had met someone she questioned who acted so straightforwardly. However, she complimented Hana for being an honest girl and answering so well. It's a shame there is a lack of evidence.
Senior! Don't investigate anymore. If they find out, it will cause problems. Don't you tell, No one will know! What if they see? The Police Woman turned and looked at him, truly wanting to hit him, but she held back because he seemed so stubborn with his senior.
They drove away in the car, with the junior officer driving. The Police Woman looked at a video. It showed Hana arriving in the city, then sitting on a public bench until late at night, then entering a convenience store, sitting and sleeping, and eating, until the employees came to clean up the trash from what she had eaten. She looked sleepy, like a normal student, but why didn't she go home? Suddenly, a phone call came in. When she looked, it was the commander of the junior officer. He said, "See? They know we're still investigating. Senior, stop! His parents also agreed to close the case. She didn't answer the phone.
Hana came down to cook for her father to eat! Her father wanted to ask questions, but she looked at him as if she didn't want him to dig deep into her affairs! After her father ate, he didn't stay long and returned to Phnom Penh city to continue his work.
