Mystery of Room 13
Section 67: Jealousy Is There

Wulan and I chose to leave a place that is still crowded with people to watch the evacuation process of the remains that are still scattered there.

"Lan, what do these people mean is that stall we've been to? It's on the other side of the tracks, a little forward."

Wulan nodded as a sign that she was as thoughtful as I was. "It could be, Han. But don't be so bad to think first, who knows it's just a coincidence the pocong is starving."

"Ngaco you, Lan. Don't joke about them anymore. Last night's tragedy repeated. We were visited last night Miss Kunti, how about tonight disamperin was pocong in lesehan or worse was the victim of a train collision earlier. Hiii. serem."

"Yes... Yes, the dam pilot!"

The laughter sent our way back to Indekos. Arriving at the index, Wulan and I immediately went to the upper room to rest.

"Lan, don't forget to take your medicine. Let your wounds dry quickly yes," I remembered while thrusting a few packs of medicine into Wulan. "I'm doing all this stuff?"

"Thank you, Han. You've taken good care of me."

"Normally, there's no need to overdo it like that. That man is obliged to help. Today maybe you need help, who knows tomorrow I need help."

There are only two hours left before I have to work, at that time I use the time to wash my dirty clothes. At first I wanted to help Wulan wash her clothes but she refused.

"Don't, Han. Let me put my clothes in the laundry in front. It's okay."

"It's okay yeah. I want to wash my clothes."

Wulan still refused even though I refused. Maybe he's sorry for the help I'm offering. Ah, nevermind. While humming I did the state's job of washing my clothes, Wulan seemed to fall asleep after taking her medicine. When all was done, I was about to take a shower and immediately prepare to go out to buy food for Wulan. Only then will I leave for work. The ringing of my phone was so loud it sounded as a sign that someone was calling me. When I saw my phone screen, the name Beautiful was plastered there and she made a video call.

"Assalamualaikum, Ndah," I said as I waved at the girl who was currently so sweet with a pink veil covering her long hair.

"Waalaikumsalam, Ma'am. Where is Hanna right now?"

"In indekos, Ndah. What was? Are you still at Melati's house?"

"Guess where I am and who is the same?"

From earlier I did see the girl seemed to be in the car, the seat of the car I knew her even though I had only once boarded her. "Where are you and who are you?" I snorted violently because I knew exactly who he was with now.

"Taraa! I'm the same burik lizard aka Mas Ridwan." When the camera was pointed at the driver, my heart felt something strange. There's a claustrophobic I can't explain.

"Hi, Han!" Ridwan's greeting and wave made me gasp then hurriedly returned their greeting.

"Hi, where are you guys?"

"We're going to Hanna's index. There are gifts from the same father of the mother. All together to go to work together. Hanna's mom is on the index right?"

"Oohh, yes. When you get word out. I'm going out for a minute to buy food for Wulan."

"Sir, don't buy food. This brought a lot of mother. There is rice, vegetables, and more. Rather than worry later. Ma'am, open the fence dong, we're in front of it."

Immediately I turned off the Beautiful phone line and rushed down to the bottom. However, just as I was about to leave the room, Wulan asked me if I would leave for work.

"No, I want to open the gate. It's beautiful and Ridwan wants to come here, all of you want to go together."

The woman told me to stop for a moment. "Han, test your feelings, if you are jealous of them it is certain you have the same heart as Ridwan. So don't hang people's children, later he's just as beautiful really cry."

"Neighbor! I'm going down first. Come along, because they said, his mother Indah send food. We'll just eat in my room. It's a mess in here." I said and then laughed a little. Indeed, this room is like a broken ship, even our used plates last night that have not been exhausted because of the hunt for the arrival of uninvited guests are still loosened just like that.

"Let's catch up, Han. I'm gonna change clothes first. The time to meet your ayang and your honeymoon candidate only use rombengan gini negligee."

I want to feel like I'm pinning Wulan's head as he talks. "Already, can my emotions be near you, Lan. I'm downstairs, catch up and remember..."

I deliberately stopped my words to provoke curiosity in the mind of Wulan who had just entered the bathroom.

"Remember what?"

"Remember no need to be carried by your hair let alone pairs of jasmine and siger flowers, over time!" I said while laughing because it made Wulan throw a shampoo bottle at me.

"Kabur, uh. There's a raging monster!" I ran away leaving the woman who was nagging. I rushed down and immediately opened the rusted gate. From the windshield, I could see Beautiful smiling as Ridwan's car came into the courtyard. There was a strange rumble that spread in the heart, when I saw Indah sitting side by side with Ridwan in the front seat.

"Mother Hanna!" The sweet girl yelled at me as she got out of the car. He showed off a row of his sweet rabbit teeth. I set foot to approach them after closing the gate. The girl ran to meet me and grabbed me tightly.

"It's good to miss Hanna!" I rubbed the girl's back, while my eyes were fixed on Ridwan who was opening the trunk of his car. "How are you, Sister Hanna?"

"Alhamdulillah, fine. How were you on your own during the holidays?"

"Good and certainly fun," said Beautiful cheerfully. I could see clearly when Beautiful's eyes occasionally glanced at the man who was lowering some plastic bags. There is no dislike when Beautiful does it.

"Yes, we're in. To my room, yes, because if Wulan's room is still a mess."

We walked into my room. Fortunately, this room was cleaned when I came home from outside.

"During this beautiful just listen, indeed this room is much different from my shadow. But I still feel fear. We'll eat on the porch, ma'am."

"What is in your shadow, Ndah, about this room?"

"I thought the room was stuffy, dirty, dusty, and the walls were dull and full of spider webs. Anyway neglected, Ma'am. This is how your room looks new, Ma'am."

"Yes, that's it. At first when Wulan and Intan said this room was haunted I was a bit incredulous. However, the first night I was terrorized I believed this room really held a great mystery."

My conversation with Beautiful was getting more exciting when Ridwan who was busy calling people, joined us. Although occasionally I had to throw a rough breath when Indah just kept staring at the humorous man.

"Assynnya!" Wulan's voice made us look.

"Glamma!" tell us three at the same time. The woman seemed to have changed her clothes with long pants and loose clothes and a veil that covered her hair.

"May join, no?"

"Alright, like anyone, Lan. Here and there."

Lovely continued to stare at Wulan from top to bottom without blinking. "Mbak Wulan has been in an accident? Why is it so full of wounds?"

"A-anu, here..." Wulan looked confused explaining.

"Wulan again fad become playing bandages." I chuckled as I coded beautifully by nudging her hand. Hoping Beautiful understand the code that I give so as not to discuss the Wulan problem. However, Indah's base was insensitive, she still asked I had to shift this conversation. I do not want Wulan who is still in the healing stage, burdened with his mind when he had to retell the events that could have taken his life.

"You're a real ngeyel, Ndah. I told you earlier, even though Wulan was just a prank."

"But, Ma'am..."

"Once, let's just eat. There is still time."

I immediately took out the plate for the dinner mat. Apparently her mother Indah brought more food than I expected. In addition there is rice, rendang, heart-fried sambal with potatoes, some other vegetables, and also some typical snacks people have such as jadah, wajik, and jenang dodol.

"Mas, what do you want to eat? Let it be beautiful." I'm the one who was taking rice for Wulan Sontak glanced at the girl.

"If jealousy says, my boss!" whispered Wulan while chuckling.

"What kind of jealousy is that?" My eyes glared at the woman who covered her mouth to hold back that laugh. I thrust the plate containing only rice at him with a slight roughness. "Because you keep teasing me, you can only eat rice" I whispered again.

"Where's your plate, Mas. Let it be beautiful." Wulan and I watched the two men again.

"No need, Ndah. I'll just take it myself."

Beautiful looks silent then retreat to give way to Ridwan to take his own food.

"You should have, Han, taken a bite to eat for him. There's no way you're gonna turn it down." I thrust a small pinch into Wulan's thigh until he could complain of pain.

The atmosphere of the meal this time was completely different from before. Sometimes laughs and jokes adorn our dinner.

"Lan, is this the rest of the food I put here or in the upstairs room?"

"You're why use tanya. Yes, if I'm hungry, I have to go down first and see Miss Kunti last night and the dead-head ghost. Could die standing me." I just laughed when I heard that scolding.

I helped Indah upstairs to put the leftovers into Wulan's room. I set aside a little so that I can take it as a stock later on at rest.

"Lan, me and Lovely go to work first huh. You get some rest and take your medicine. Remember your vacation time is tomorrow lo."

After saying goodbye to Wulan, I, Indah and Ridwan left for work using Ridwan's car. When Indah was wearing shoes, Ridwan asked me to sit in front so that I could accompany her. However, just as I was about to open the front door, Beautiful suddenly touched my shoulder.

"Beautiful open by yourself, Ma'am. Sister Hanna, sorry Indah ya can not accompany sitting in the back, because if sitting behind like motion sickness."

Without waiting for my answer, the girl immediately opened the door and sat down next to Ridwan who had put on his seatbelt. I could see Ridwan twitching his forehead as a sign of dislike and surprise.

"L-yes, anyways I have to open the gate." I chose to immediately turn around and walk away near the gate. I don't want Lovely to see my tears fall.

In the car, Indah tells a lot of his experiences during his brother's celebration. He also showed me a picture on his phone. One of the moments when she was in the dressing room with the bride who was being groomed.

"Beautiful, Ma'am? He's called the Sun, his face can be said to be very similar to Mbak Melati."

"How old is this, Ndah? It looks like it's still young."

Beautiful looking small smile. "He's been easier a year than me, ma'am. I just graduated high school with me. In the area there is an ordinary girl just graduated high school immediately married."

While hearing the beautiful story about the habits of residents in the village of his relatives. I kept watching the photos on the Beautiful phone that was now in my grasp. I was so attracted to the faint, visible figure in the reflection of the mirror. I tried to enlarge the screen of the phone so that it could be clearer who the figure was. Almost this phone was released from my grasp because when I saw clearly there was a figure of Melati with her dancer clothes looking at the bride, Melati's biological sister. It's just that her face is not broken but beautiful just like the one that Beautiful sent me yesterday. She's beautiful and looks simple.
