Mystery of Room 13
Section 55: Mystery History of Room 13

"Like me?" I just don't believe it.

"Yes, it's just that he's a little bit more mature than you. Her hair was longer than yours, about waist-length and a little wavy."

Maybe he was the ghost whose head was cut off. He promised to help Wulan. However, why did Wulan say her face looked so similar to mine? Was she the same creature that her grandmother saw that time? Ah, it feels like my head is thinking about it all.

"Lan, is that woman her head cut off?"

"You are careless when you speak. He's like us that his stature is just like yours. She wore a blue knee-length negligee with a red rose motif. If he's acting like you said I was, instead of running away."

It may be true that they, invisible beings, can change their form into anyone, like the past he resembles like Wulan even to be me once.

"Yes, the most important thing now is that you recover quickly and have to rest a lot in order to work again. We are looking for food then. Pity the occupants of your stomach must have been from the demo because it has not been able to ration," I chanted to melt the atmosphere. Wulan looked smiling but her eyes turned sad as she looked at her bandaged hand.

"Eh, that's your infusion is about to run out. I went out first to call the nurse to have the infusion removed and we went home."

I was about to get out of the room but was prevented by Ridwan who had fallen silent, behind me.

"You're here, accompany Wulan. Let me call the nurse." The man without waiting for my answer, he immediately swung a step out.

"Han, what about my hospital fees? You can use my insurance card, right?"

Somehow I explained to him. I'm afraid Wulan is becoming more and more of a burden on her mind.

"Han, why are you silent, not answering my question? Is my insurance card not working or not bearing hospital expenses because I hurt my body?"

It was fortunate that two nurses came before I found the right answer to Wulan's line of questions. I came out of the room covered in curtains. I could hear the nurses talking to Wulan. I also heard Intan's moans being treated right next to Wulan's gurney.

"How's Intan doing, Wan? Honestly I'm worried about him too but the pain is still burning in the chest."

"You don't need to think about Intan right now. He's in the right hands."

"Hopefully, however we used to be very close. Personally I don't have a problem with that girl."

In the midst of the conversation between Me and Ridwan, Adnan again interjected. "Han, what exactly is this box? Why is it that my name and Intan are written in the mirror? Then why do you say this box is bringing you disaster?"

"I told you earlier, ask all that to your lover. Don't bother us anymore."

I was about to take Ridwan away from the man. However, Ridwan just wanted me to explain to him about the box. "For what?" I whispered to Ridwan.

"Tell me, let him open his eyes. I could see that the man was good but maybe because of the pellet's influence, he changed" he replied in a soft voice.

Sure enough said Ridwan, maybe with him know this reality. Adnan could go back to Wulan.

"So, that box is a powder pellet. Why is there your name because what is meant is you. Intan wants you to be crazy about her and forget your family just like now. You forgot your duties as a husband and father to them!"

I said with trembling as this anger was so bubbling in this chest. Ridwan did not stop rubbing my shoulder to calm down.

"Pellets? It can't be!"

"Whatever, you want to believe it or not. One thing was clear Intan's very pretty face was slowly rotting away as she was no longer using the powder."

I can catch the shock on Adnan's face, even he dropped the box in his hand. "Everything so that person who is close to Gusti, do not think of the world continues. It is not easy to get black magic. It's obvious, right? I want to see Wulan first!" I said slowly but cynically then chose to leave because I saw a nurse coming out of Wulan's room.

"So I heard like there was a commotion. What's up, Han?"

"Anu, I'll tell you later. Now we go home." I tried to put on a smile even though my heart was still irritated at meeting Adnan. "Sus, we can go right out, right?"

"Oh, please, Mother. But first to the officer. There are some things we have to say."

"Good." I helped Wulan to get off the gurney while Ridwan bailed out first to get his car.

Slowly I led the woman to the nurse's desk. Adnan who was sitting in the waiting chair looked surprised to see the condition of Wulan who was full of injuries. He walked up to us. Her steps came to a halt as the nurse approached me and Wulan.

"Mother Wulan, this is the cure. The drinking rules are already on the packaging. Don't forget to change the bandage routine, a maximum of two days." After signing some papers, we were allowed to go home. In front of the door is parked Ridwan's car. However, another matter came to a head, Adnan stood in our way.

"Wu-wulan, what's wrong with you? Why are you like this?"

Base of a land crocodile, Adnan approached Wulan and hugged her tightly. My heart was burning with anger, wanting to separate the two. However, when I saw the smile of Wulan that looks comfortable in the arms of the man who had clearly betrayed him made me undo my intentions, after all both are still legitimate as husband and wife.

"Mas, are you here for me? You still care about me, Mum?"

I felt sorry for Wulan when I heard her question, if she knew why Adnan was here and what he said earlier when he knew Wulan was in pain, if Wulan could accept Adnan's embrace.

"Mother's Family Intan!"

Thank you, Adnan. The nurse calls you when you're enjoying your wife's embrace. However, I still pity Wulan who looks very disappointed because in fact Adnan's existence there is not for him but for the woman who has made him lose his husband.

"Go, Mas. I should've realized I wasn't your queen anymore." Wulan let go of their embrace and then took me out. I could clearly see the tears that were shed. I hurriedly removed it so as not to hit the wound on his face.

"Don't cry anymore. We go home and leave all the wounds here."

The three of us went home without much talking. Wulan's eyes seemed to be staring far ahead, I don't know what she's thinking right now while I can only hold her hand so she doesn't feel alone.

My index gate is already visible. I was flabbergasted that he who was holding his head stood before the gate, as if welcoming our arrival. As Ridwan's car came in and passed him, I threw a smile at him as my thanks. I don't know why I'm sure the girl called the moon is her.

Ridwan's car is parked in the yard of the index is quite spacious. I helped Wulan out of the car.

"Wan, thank you. You've bothered to help us" I said as I got out of the car.

"Thank you, Wan. Sorry to bother you," Wulan said slowly.

"Together, Lan. You're healing fast."

I asked Ridwan to stay here because I wanted to talk about the money that was used to pay for the hospital. I rushed Wulan into my room, because to go up to her room was impossible, considering that Wulan's room was still very messy while my room had been cleaned by Bu Wati.

"Lan, you rest first huh. I want to see Ridwan for a minute." Wulan only nodded weakly, seemingly still thinking about his meeting with Adnan.

I immediately went out of the room to meet the man who declared his love for me. The man sat on the porch playing his phone.

"Women!" The man looked up at me then patted the chair next to him while throwing his smile, as a sign he asked me to sit next to him.

"Han, have you lived in that room for a long time?"

"Not yet, only since I worked in the factory," Mata Ridwan continued to look at all corners of my index.

"Why did you choose to stay here, in room thirteen more? You do not know that this index is known as..."

"Bloody indecus? I knew that a few days ago. It's just that I can't do anything about it, because I've already paid this index off for a full year. If to move indekos I have to spend money again. I can't ask my father again. We're not the ones to be."

"Can't you ask for money that has gone into the owner of the index. After all, the owner of this index can cut it for room rental during your stay here, say a month or two months."

"Can't, Wan. From the beginning we had agreed to repayment in advance. If the residents of the index want to move, the money that comes in should not be taken back."

"What kind of deal is that? After all, why is it so easy, fooled by such a detrimental agreement. The owner of this place is not right. Are all the rooms also rules like that?"

"Come, but Wulan said, his room can be paid per month."

"It's getting weird. Why does your room have to be paid off in advance while another room can be paid off every month?"

"I also know it's fitting to live here, Wan. So all this time I live in the beautiful house because it continues to be terrorized by invisible creatures since living here."

Ridwan seemed to be scratching his head. "Why are you, Han? The feeling everywhere was plagued by the same subtle creatures. In the industry, in the factory, and somewhere else. I feel like something's pulling them to you."

I shrugged my shoulders. I also do not understand why the invisible creature often shows its form in front of my eyes.

"Han, I hope you move out of here soon, about the cost so I'm responsible. I'm the only one you're asking to feel uncomfortable when you're here."

"Yes scared but how else. Later if it's payday, I look for indexes that are cheap but not full of mysteries like this. Eh but it looks like I'll have to postpone another month because I'll still have the same debt as you."

Ridwan took back my hair gently. "Don't think about it, baby. I sincerely help. Han, I've come home so late. Fear of happening the things we want."

Ridwan laughed crisply after getting my pinch that floated on his waist. "If you like it carelessly. The things you want? Just yummy. Tasty at you, hard at me," I scolded as I pursed my lips.

"Don't do it, I'll be khilaf lo. But it's okay, just as I khilaf kept raided Mr. RT can immediately marry me."

My eyes were round hearing her words that sounded a little wild. "Ah, I'm just kidding, although in my heart I hope. Yes, I did say yes, Han. You enter the room. I'm afraid someone sees you outside the room and has a crush. My competition added."

"Basst the burik lizard, it's okay I all want to take rice on the motor. Before going to the hospital, I bought rice for Wulan to eat."

Basic Ridwan stone head, he still insisted on not going home as long as I have not entered the room. I quickly grabbed a plastic bag and entered the room so that the man could leave immediately before being chased away by the other occupants.

The roar of Ridwan's car was heard coming out of the courtyard when I was already in the room. My eyes are now fixed on the moon that seems not to have fallen asleep.

"Lan, let's eat yuk first. From the afternoon your stomach is empty."

"Han, I'm sorry I kept bothering you."

"I've told you never to trouble me and remember, don't apologize to me, what I'm doing is just minor. As friends we need to help each other, right? We never know when we need help, so as long as we can help someone, we have to."

I poured the rice into the dishes that had been washed back by Bu Wati when we were in the hospital earlier. In silence Wulan and I ate food to recover energy after a very tiring and stressful day. After taking the medicine, Wulan fell asleep leaving me who was still awake because the remnants of fear while in this room are still there. Especially if you remember the terror I faced in this room. From the ghost whose head was slashed to the flat-faced woman, who I believe is Gayatri.

It's past midnight I still haven't slept either. However, when I almost fell asleep, suddenly my sense of hearing caught the sound of water gurgling from the bathroom. It is similar to the sound of running water. Not long after that I heard water splashing, just like someone was in the shower.

Oh, my God, what's this? Why don't the occupants of this room let my sleep calm down. I close my blanket even to the point of covering my head while continuing to chant prayers. Just when the mysterious sound from the bathroom stopped, my phone rang quite loudly. Ah, how is this my phone on top of a small closet. I was afraid that when I opened my eyes, one of the ghosts or maybe even more, was waiting in front of me and of course it was a big surprise.

I slowly revealed the blanket that covered my head and I opened my eyes slowly. I breathed a sigh of relief because my fear did not become real. I quickly grabbed my phone that was still ringing and then went back to hiding under the covers.

Apparently Ridwan who called me, I was just about to pick up his phone but it was already cut off. Maybe because I picked up the phone too long to turn it off.

A minute later a message from Ridwan came in. He said that he had searched on the internet about the bloody index that I live in is a place that is well known in the wider community. This place before it was built into indekos is a forest. According to one of the people who had a sixth sense to look at the past, this forest was where a dancer died drenched in blood. According to the story that circulated by word of mouth, he was finished off by his own best friend because of the love triangle scandal.

The passage of time, when the construction of this area began to develop due to the existence of garment factories that absorb many workers. Only this land that was never built because anyone who was about to build on this land there was just a terrible incident. Until decades ago there were those who managed to build this index but still this place looks haunted especially since found a corpse in terrible conditions in this room, increasing the awesomeness of this place. About three years after the discovery of the terrible body, this index had been empty for more than eight years. It has only recently been re-occupied. Usually the occupants do not know the history of bloody indecos.

It feels sore my eyes have to stare at the phone screen this close. I better move my position facing Wulan who sounds snoring.

My eyes widened when I saw the face of the woman before me. "You-you!"

I flicked my blanket, sure enough, he was between me and Wulan. With his mouth grinning wide while his red eyes were constantly glaring at me, while his hands were waving.

"Hanna! Inhere. Don't go far!" His words continued with a laugh that was so loud.
