Mystery of Room 13
Part 32: Cantile Flowers

Wulan was flabbergasted listening to my explanation, to the point that the woman pulled her bike over and stopped by the side of the road. I am confused by his attitude.

"What's up, Lan? Why suddenly stop? You're not okay, are you?"

"I'm fine, just a little surprised by what you said, Han. I also looked under the table because of this race I put there. But don't look at the pocong or the weird one, as you can see, Han."

Wulan seemed speechless before continuing her words, "Han, lest you be given the privilege of having a sixth sense. Is that the term? A-child in-indigo? Yes, indigo."

"I'm not indigo, Lan. I am an Indian boy who likes to dance while singing and circling trees accompanied by heavy rain.

The atmosphere that had been tense began to slightly melt as a crisp laugh sounded. "This is the food anyway what's his fate, Lan? Do you still want to eat it? If it's mine, I'll throw it away. Horrified to wonder," I said as I rubbed my slightly heavy nape.

"Just throw it away. I'm also horrified myself."

"Eh, there's a garbage can. I'll just throw it away."

Wulan approved of my actions. "Han, what are we looking for now? You see, my stomach sounds like it's a concert." Wulan scratched her head on her return I threw away the plastic filled with rice complete with the chicken.

"In my room there is rice either stock of instant noodles. We ate it a few times, yeah."

"Good idea, I just happened to buy a sausage ready to eat."

"Feed, I also want to be too late."

"Oh my God, if there's any Intan, he'll be ranting all the way through the train because we're derailing his diet program. He would not refuse if in front of him there was food that smelled of noodles and sausages."

Me and Wulan laughed. "After all, Han, I was surprised sometimes, Han. That's the Diamond body is tiny, still using diet-diet show everything, does he want his body as thin as paper?"

"Start, Lan. Intan wants me..." My words stopped because I remembered my promise to Intan. I cursed myself who was always almost exhausted to reveal Intan's wedding plans.

"Intan want me? Me what?" wulan asked with eyes that looked at me sharply as if she was about to probe the depths of my heart.

"Intan wants to straighten his body, right? Maybe for him his body is too big."

"If Intan says he's big how are you doing with me. Going down the engine twice makes this stomach sagging want to come into existence."

Wulan squeezed her stomach which was indeed a little distended. I laughed seeing the action. "Yes, be grateful. Want fat to be skinny which is important just breath. Come on, let's go home. Eleven o'clock less, I have to go to work."

Wulan drove the iron horse towards our index, having previously stopped by a raw vegetable stall. Sawi also chilies are purchased so that there is nutrition in a bowl of noodles that will silence the worms, not forgetting a few eggs.

These eyes were fixed on my room light that was brightly lit, but before I went up to Wulan's room, I could make sure I had turned it off. Ah, maybe I forgot.

"Wulan, you put me in the room first. I'm gonna go get rice with instant noodles and turn off the lights."

"But I'm waiting outside your room, Han. Still cringe if you have to go into your room, afraid of me. It's eight o'clock." Anyway."

I just nodded, Wulan's attitude I can understand because I just prefer to stay in the Beautiful house because it continues to be terrorized by invisible creatures.

I'm going to open the room and get some rice and instant noodles in the closet. However, I found that my door was not locked. Why is this, before I went up to Wulan's room this door was locked.

My mind began to guess what might happen to my room. It felt impossible if this was a case of robbery because this place was so crowded with residents even though they were each busy in their own rooms. After all, if they want to rob, then they are misdirected, my index room is worth nothing.

From Ungaran, I only brought rice cooker and raw food ingredients, such as rice, instant noodles, and some other dry foods. Since living in a beautiful house, automatically all I left so in the room that all.

I slowly opened the room that was already famous for its awesomeness. There was the smell of the cantilevered flowers piercing the nose, out of nowhere. I know this is the smell of cantile flowers because my late mother loved the smell of cantile.

"Han, what kind of room freshener are you wearing. The money stings and makes a scary impression."

"Hush, I know there's a cantile smell but my fragrance is lavender, not this time."

"Where does this smell come from? Don't tell me there's an invisible creature around your room?"

Wulan's words certainly made me even more frightened. Is it true that he said that there are other residents in this room right now.

"All right, Han. I still have it."

Yes, rice I must take immediately. A sack of rice measuring ten kilograms I go to Wulan. In the meantime, I picked up some seplastik instant noodles that I hadn't even had time to unload.

Before I went out, I looked at my room. Nothing has changed from this room. Even the pillow that was in a tilted position was still like that. My eyes were round when I realized there were a lot of cantile flowers scattered around my bed. Who did this actually, there was also a sprinkling of soil on the mattress.

"L-yes, why so many flowers and it's red earth like a graveyard." I looked at the woman who kept clutching my arm.

"Han, let's just go up before there's anything untoward." Wulan pulled me to leave the room immediately.

"But I have to clean up first."

"No need. Come on, let's go up. Now and don't argue with me."

I gave in and obeyed Wulan. Although many questions are floating about how the cantile flower is there? Who is not working enough to sow grave soil in my bed? Everything is unanswered.

On the second floor I met Bu Wati who just came out of the bathroom. I better just ask her, roughly whether she saw the person who had been carelessly coming into my room.

"Mom Wati! Wait, Mom."

Wati's mother couldn't hide her surprise when she saw me coming.

"L-yes, what's up, Sister Hanna? I think Ms. Hanna went back to her friend's house." There was a trembling voice that was so obvious when the woman who seemed to be the same age as my mother.

"No, Ma. Hanna's in the shift tonight and she'll be out of here."

"Oh, so. I go into the room first."

I'm quite surprised usually Bu Wati is very happy to be invited to chat but today it seems like he dodged. "Wait, Mom. Hanna wants to ask something."

"Ask what, Ma'am?"

"Do Miss Wati know who came into my room and..."

"I don't know, Ma'am. I'm going to have some business." Regardless of me and Wulan who are still gawking with the strange attitude of Bu Wati. Bu Wati's room door was closed quite hard, suddenly making me and Wulan aghast.

"It looks like something's wrong with Bu Wati. Does this have anything to do with the state of my room like that."

"Don't be prejudiced against people, Han. Let's go up first. There's a ghost following us all the way here."

The woman immediately took me to the third floor to her room. However, what is this? Why does my nose keep smelling the scent of cantilevered flowers.

"Han, wudu there. My mother said every time we come into contact with the occult it would be nice for us to purify ourselves with water wudu."

Since leaving the room I have felt my shoulders heavy and my back feeling very hot. My head was also dizzy because it continued to smell the scent of cantile flowers that pierced the nose. I hurried to do what Wulan suggested. Sure enough everything was gone even the smell of the cantile had also vanished."

"How's it?"

"Lumayan eat, Lan. You're right, all the discomfort after I got into my room was gone. I want to pray first."

"Yes, we'll change it. I'll cook some rice first."

I carry out my duties with all my heart, nothing has changed while worshiping in this room. Though if in my room the atmosphere must have turned stuffy and hot like before.

After worship, while waiting for Wulan. I prepared the ingredients of cooking instant noodles. After the ingredients were ready, I rushed out of the room and walked towards the shared kitchen which was only one room away.

In the kitchen I found another resident also cooking. "Excuse me, Ma'am!" sapaku tried to be friendly.

The woman turned to look at me. However, suddenly his eyes were rounded and his body trembled. "A-watch, i-it!" His words were so stammered and looked frightened as his hands pointed at me.

"What's up, Ma'am?" I misbehaved him. I tried to get close to her, but just a step later the woman ran into the room screaming, like she had just seen a demon. The woman was so afraid of me leaving the stove still burning. I turned it off so that the vegetables that he seemed to be panning for were not charred.

"Hanna." That whisper was heard in my left ear. When I looked to see who was calling me. I was aghast at the head piece that from the beginning often bothered me now perched on my left shoulder. Apparently this terrible head was the reason the woman was flushed.

Although I am afraid but I must be able to fight it. With trembling I threw the head that continued to grin, until it rolled up on the pan.

"Welcome back, Hanna! No matter how far you go, you'll keep coming back here!" The woman's voice boomed and was accompanied by laughter that made her listeners shudder in fear.

"Go! Don't bother me!" I cried out hysterically as the shattered head spun towards me. His laugh was shrill but slowly turned into a humming without lyrics that were ever sung by Mbak Arum. While my eyes slowly began to blur and in the end only darkness I saw.
