Mystery of Room 13
Section 56: The New Bride

Suddenly I stood up and stepped back, away from him. She's the dancer with half her skin peeled off and broken face just kept moving closer and following me. "How's Hanna, you want to come with me, right?"

"No favor! Go ye! Don't bother us anymore. Our world is different, besides your powder box has been returned to Intan. Why are you still chasing us? Go there!"

The horrible face that had been laughing, now turned even more sinister because I could see the anger in his eyes. "Go? My home. You should have left!"

The dancer's eyes glared even almost out of place. His heart almost stopped beating because in addition to glaring, that terrible face was only ten centimeters away. I could smell the foul scent coming from the wound on his face, exactly with the foul scent emanating from Intan's body. My stomach feels like it's stirring because it can't stand that nose-piercing smell. The moss green scarf on the woman's waist suddenly slipped from her body. It flew around my body and then quickly smothered my mouth.

No, I must not lose to this monstrous creature. In my heart I must chant a prayer for this creature before me to go.

"Shut up or you'll I'll finish now!"

No, I can't stop. I want him to leave immediately and deter to bother me again. Sure enough, he left along with a strong wind that suddenly blew.

I was sitting limp after his departure which still left a message of threat he would come back again until it managed to take me to his world, again making me shudder in horror. The cold sweat poured out so hard, what would happen if I did not remember the Creator could have me trapped in their world.

After this energy began to recover, I immediately took one glass of water and drank it with a single throat directly toilet for my consciousness to recover. Immediately I went back to lay down beside Wulan who was still very sound asleep, he did not hear a thunderous sound from the dancer at all.

I covered my body but this time it didn't cover my head. I do not want the incident to repeat again suddenly the face that once appeared again, then it would be better to just blanket my shoulder.

I closed my eyes and slept. However, I could not do it because the shadow of such a terrible dancer always appeared in my eyes.

I grabbed my phone, who knows by playing mobile I can sleep tonight because my attention is distracted. I accidentally didn't open the app to send messages. I prefer to open my social media account and look for some food references, because I really like food all over the country. In the past, I often tried to modify the recipe, yes even though it ultimately failed, such as doughnuts that are as hard as stone and brownies from cassava and many more foods that I made but failed.

Over time these eyes began to feel heavy and I began to sleepy and finally carried away to dreamland. A dream I really wanted to hope to come true was my meeting with my mother. Sleeping on her lap is such a beautiful thing and I miss it. Her soft hands defended me. He sang a hum without a verse that even I had never heard in his life.

For a long time I told him stories, even until I woke up it felt like what happened in a dream as if it was very real. I had to work passionately to realize my ideals of building a headstone for my mother.

After the dawn prayer, I opted out to find breakfast. However, I just opened the rust-filled gate, a smile like welcoming me.

"Hi, dear me," said the owner, a successful smile surprised me.

"Rid-ridwan? Why are you here so early in the morning?"

"A-anu I want to buy chicken porridge near here. Coincidentally through here all you want to buy. It was last night that you were crying because your porridge was spilled."

I smiled, yes indeed last night my meeting with Ridwan was quite embarrassing. I cried and hugged him on the side of the road.

"So-about last night I'm sorry. After that I was confused and panicked because of Wulan's situation like that. Again sorry, Wan."

The man laughed. Strange man, there is a person who apologizes instead of being forgiven even he laughs very widely like that. I opened my mouth because I was upset at Ridwan's sometimes unpredictable behavior.

"Already, don't cut the rich duck so, Han. I'm gonna kiss you later, how?"

You little sableng. I just hit his arm as hard as I can. However, his name was also Ridwan, instead of being in pain he said my punch was opium to him.

"Already ah, I can hear your rich sableng, Wan. I better go ahead and find breakfast."

I left the man who was still broken. However, it wasn't long before the man caught up with me on his motorcycle. "Wait for dong, baby. Get up here yuk. Let's spit."

"No need, I'm just looking for food in front of the alley."

"Yes, I'm nitip my bike in your index then. Let us eat together and also walk together. Who knows if this is the beginning we'll build a household together and our children."

"Whatever!" There is a sense of happiness behind Ridwan's words about the household, regardless it is just a joke or it comes from his heart.

Ridwan and I went back to my index to park the Ridwan motorbike, it is impossible that he went there himself even though my index is a special index princess, can be used as a peddle by other residents.

"Either. Confused when I was here. Everything looks good and tempting."

"Yes already, at the end there is chicken porridge, the original is very tasty. We just have a tomb there. I'd like to bring it to my mom too."

Because it can not choose, I better follow Ridwan's choice. Looks like I just sat on a pandan mat that was spread out. Two bowls of chicken porridge were already available in front of me.

"What drink?"

"Hot tea, ma'am," I replied and Ridwan at the same time. The smiling mother looked at me and Ridwan.

"Kompak's right. Looks like you're the newlyweds, huh?" I knit my eyebrows in confusion. How could the mother think we were a newlywed couple.

"No, Ma. We're this..."

"There's no shame, Ma'am. This mother was also once young, ever a newlywed. It can be understood that the newlyweds were shampooing continuously," he said with a chuckle. I glanced at Ridwan as well as looking rattled. Why are these people, huh? What does daily shampooing and newlyweds have to do?

I tried to find my own answer in my brain because I asked Ridwan not the right answer I got, but just the slenge. For a long time I thought, I finally found the answer to what Mom said. Surely he thought we had just been in a relationship like a married couple because my hair and Ridwan both looked wet. Though from childhood, I was used before dawn prayers always bathing and shampooing.

"Do you understand what my mother meant? Why don't you explain that we're not married?"

"The longer the question will be if I answer that. They'll think you're a cute girl who wants to sleep with an unmarried man."

"Yes, let's just say we have nothing to do."

"People sometimes believe more in what they see than they hear. Moreover, we are so early in the road both will no one believe that we come from each other's homes. They know we've been spending the night together. Just eat it."

In silence, Ridwan and I enjoyed bribe after bribe of delicious chicken porridge.

"Han, since when did you stay in that thirteen-bedroom bloody index?" ridwan asked, breaking the silence.

"Since I worked in a factory. Yeah, maybe biweekly."

"Indeed you're not afraid of the rumour you heard about your senses, what?"

"Not scared anymore, so scared. How else, I had to. Later if my dependents are done, I'll find another index."

"Han, I told you. You don't think about the money I spent on the Wulan hospital. You better use it first to find a new index."

"Not just about that, I promised that my first salary would be used to build my mother's headstone. As a child, I never bought anything for her while my mother was still with me" I said softly. My tears that were shed without me asking, were gently wiped by Ridwan.

"Don't cry. You're lucky even if your mother is gone, but at least you still have memories of kindness and affection. While I'm, my mom's there but I don't have those memories."

"Why?" The last time I saw the eagle's eyes were so dim.

"People call my mom crazy. He forgot everything. Every day is spent laughing and crying without a clear cause. I never felt the caress of his affection."

"Do you know the cause of your mother's condition?"

"My grandmother said, my mother changed like that right when I had my second birthday. Said my late grandmother, mother could not accept the fact that the man she loved disbelieved and chose to marry another woman rather than my mother. She left my mom right on their wedding day." I could hear the vibes of anger from every word that shot out from the mouth of the man who was slowly filling my day.
