Mystery of Room 13
Section 75: Identity of Indekos Owners

It seems that what bothers Bu Ning is the headless ghost who also often shows herself to me. It turns out that from the first it did disturb the inhabitants of this bloody index. Another day, suddenly a rickshawman came and looked for the woman who had been in for half an hour after being ushered in by the rickshawman. The woman said the money was inside. However, half an hour waited for the woman not to come out. The rickshawman said his passenger said he was staying in room thirteen. Though all residents in the kost know. Not even a month ago a body was found in terrible conditions in the room. How could anyone occupy such a terrifying room and still be sealed by that police line. The number of mystical events makes the inhabitants of Indekos wracked with fear and choose to move.

"Mom, while here, have you ever met a lunatic?"

"A lot, Han. Why why?"

"I-I mean he used to be in front of the bloody index, while still living there for sure." I'm trying to dig up information about Ridwan's mother.

"Oh, there used to be, Han. I met him a few times with a madman in front of the index before I finally chose to move. The madman often bangs on the gate and scolds every time we come out. But I don't know how he is now? Is it still often there or is it lazy to go through, what is it, Han?"

It seemed like Bu Ning did not know that the woman was most likely Ridwan's mother. "It's okay. Hanna just heard it, afraid that it suddenly came and rampaged the whole indexer."

I was forced to lie to Bu Ning because it felt like I didn't deserve to tell that the woman who likes to rampage in front of the bloody index is Ridwan's mother.

I also tried to pry information about the owner of the bloody index, which according to Wulan is very similar to Ridwan. I wonder if it has anything to do with Ridwan. I want to confirm the suspicions that once haunted that they had blood ties. In addition to the resemblance, also because every time his mother Ridwan relapsed, the place he visited was a bloody indecos. The mind widens wildly, maybe in his subconscious his mother Ridwan is looking for the man who appeared to him. This is all just my opinion in the meantime, the matter of right or wrong still has a lot to prove.

"If I had been there, the owner would have been middle-aged. According to the news they only have one boy who is likely the same age as me. But when the discovery of the corpse, the position of his son exhausted the accident and coma. I don't know if he's alive or even dead. You see, ever since there was a bloody incident, their economy got harder because the residents left, one of them I. Not to mention they have to spend money for their children whose lives are dependent on medical equipment, certainly costs a lot. I heard the news that the indexes were going to be sold by them, when there was a raid on the index that made everyone uproar."

If the owner of the bloody index is a middle-aged couple, then who is that guy who looks like Ridwan. It could be that he is their son who woke up from a coma. However, he could also be the new owner of the bloody indecos.

"Mom, if the owner of this bloody index is who the hell is this guy?"

"To know, yes, because I had a conversation with the mother of the owner of indekos, she was from Gunung Kidul but her husband was Solo. They also live in the city area, but that was twenty years ago roughly."

"Whose name is it, Mom?"

"Oblind! Who yeah? Slamet who is it. Wigati what Wiyadi. Why the hell, Han, you suddenly ask me that detail."

I myself do not know what the function of knowing the owner of the bloody index is. Hopefully it will be useful to uncover the veil of the terrible death in room thirteen, as well as who knows they have something to do with the condition of his mother Ridwan now.

"Oh yeah, Han, have you read my cousin Priyambodo's notebook?"

God, how could I forget, not even touch her yet. "Sorry, Mom. Hanna hasn't read it yet. You see last night Hanna was stuck in a magical village again."

"Gosh, you don't daydream often, Han. Let invisible creatures not continue to intrude like this. You're all right, right? No one was hurt, right?"

"No, Ma. Hanna's fine. Last night Ridwan and everyone panicked looking for me because I was missing."

"Thank God you can go home. Unlike Gayatri who was lost and never returned for so many years, where is she now? I feel sorry for her, especially when you tell me that girl was force-mutilated by three people at once, it must have hurt. Han, if you can help. You help open this veil, at least the body can be found."

I just fell silent unable to answer Bu Ning's request because in fact I didn't have the power to know someone's past.

For a moment, Bu Ning and I were smothered by silence, both busy with their own thoughts. One by one, our other colleagues came to make my conversation with a woman who was almost my mother's age stopped and no longer discussed the mystical story.

My smile grew as my heart came to shake his friend. A friend who took us to Tawang Mangu last night. After Ridwan's presidency, he approached me.

"How are you doing, Yang? Did you eat it? No fever?" The man rubbed my forehead gently.

"I'm fine, Yang."

"Relatedly? You haven't slept all night. I slept this morning, right?" This tall man changed his standing position and made when we spoke I had to raise my head. The man shamelessly crouched down in front of me continued to clasp my hand.

"The other kasmaran. The world feels like both, the other is contracted." Bu Ning's teasing voice was followed by cheers from employees who had gathered in front because the entrance time was only five minutes. As a result, my cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

"My boy, embarrassed, huh? Until the cheeks are red, so want to nyium," said Ridwan lirih, increasingly making my face like a boiled crab. I gave him a pinch on his arm.

"It hurts!"

"Just let's just." I stared intently at the man who today looks a little different as if something is lacking.

"Where is your jacket? Tumben, put on a shirt without a jacket."

"My dear, my jacket you've been hugging all day. Forgot huh?"

Gosh, how could I forget last night when I came home, Ridwan asked me to put on his jacket so I wouldn't want to.

"Forget. I'll wash it tomorrow. I just got it back, it's not good that my jacket smells like sweat."

"You're your opium lo, Yang. Let it be, so if anyone misses just kiss the jacket."

In less than a minute it must have been a long bell ringing. Me and the others immediately flocked into the production room. My eyes suddenly caught a bruise on Ridwan's arm that looked slightly blue. Didn't I pinch it there, where maybe my pinch had a blue bruise like that. Anyway, I was just slow. Just before we parted because your workspace was different, I pulled her hand for a bit to stop.

"What's up, Yang? Don't ask for anything weird."

"Your arm why is it bruised so? Is it because of my cut? I'm sorry ya."

"No, it's normal that my mother goes berserk, she hits everyone with a log."

"ill? Already treated yet?"

"It's okay. Don't worry yeah. It's in there! Later get scorned by the lion lo factory." As I was leaving, Lovely called me. The girl came in with gasps. Just then, a long bell rang.

"Almost I'm late, ma'am. Fortunately, in the finger print machine I was recorded at seven o'clock. A minute or so could cut this salary."

While walking, I asked because Beautiful can come late. Apparently all night he thought of me.

"I got word Mbak Hanna was attacked just as Intan kept Mbak missing. I'm worried, Ma'am. Want to feel to his index Maak to help but not be obtained the same Mas Ridwan."

"Yes, Ridwan's right. There are so many people who have helped me." Me and Lovely heading to their respective workplaces. I continued my work even though my mind was still fixed on many things from the identity of the owner of the indexes to the bruises that were on Ridwan's arm. The man had a lot of smiles but also kept a lot of secrets and even wounds in his life. I hope my presence will cure his grief.

Fortunately today's work is not too much and piled up until I relax a little because there are no significant obstacles. Until the time to go home was all smooth there was no interference from invisible creatures.

When I was about to go home, Ridwan approached me. "Which, I'm a lager. Before we go home, we go out and eat first yuk."

"eat? How's the motor? I don't have to leave Wulan for long either."

"Here we go, we invite Wulan. Then you go back to the indexes and pick up Wulan, we eat three."

"Are you not invited?" Suddenly Lovely was between the two of us.

"You wanna come? Yes, you guys. Counting because me and your future sister-in-law are officially made."

I had seen a cloudy look on Indah's ayu face but was hurriedly covered with her smile that was so sweet. "Congratulations, Ma'am. It's not in vain how I've let the two of you out all night. Lovely wait for the invitation, ma'am."

Apparently Indah last night deliberately requested to be picked up by her parents to give me space to be with Ridwan without interference. He also asked Wulan to tell me to stop by to buy something in the hope that I and Ridwan would express our hearts.

"Bas with you, Ndah. Smart you lied to us."

"Lying for good what's wrong?" The girl's laughter echoed making some people look towards us.

"You're a bad boy." Beautiful chuckles with my words.

"Cil, baby. If you want to come with us, say goodbye first. Pity your parents for waiting for their late baby."

"Ngawur, when a girl is as blank as I say a baby."

"No need to protest! Just ask permission first. Otherwise, we stay."

"Yes, chatty!"

I smiled at the two who were fighting with their mouths. The two are like sisters and brothers who always argue but pay attention to each other. Maybe this is what makes the end beautiful hope more. Because after all the friendship between men and women will definitely involve more feelings. Whether it is just one party who feels or even both equally feel.

In the case of Indah and Ridwan, only Indah feels. Ridwan is in love with me. I can only hope, someday Beautiful get a man who loves her very much.

After Indah got permission from her parents and I told Wulan that I would pick her up. Ridwan and I rushed to the car park. After that we went to Indekosku. It was beautiful to think about the bike, but at that time Wulan had also come down.

Interspersed with laughter, the four of us split the road while deliberating on where to eat, tonight. I know a good food place in the area. You don't have to think about it."

My eyes widened as Ridwan stopped his car in front of the lesehan stall which was very crowded visitors. But it's not just humans there. At each table, there was a man who was pale and full of blood. At the checkout table, the woman I saw on the tracks last night was sitting at the table, grinning to show off her fangs.

"Whoa, we just move stalls yes," I asked Ridwan. As my feet were about to turn around, a cut of my elbow-length hand grabbed me by the foot, forcing me into the stall. Not only me apparently, the feet of the visitors were firmly gripped.
