Mystery of Room 13
Section 85: Dreams of Death

Wulan hugged tightly. My tears just spilled. Suppose it feels like I want to reveal the actions of Bu Wati that I just experienced, but again the threat to send my indecent video to my father makes my voice instantly shrivel.

"You're okay, right, Han? Or did something happen but you kept it a secret from me?"

"No-no, I'm fine." I rubbed my tears so that Wulan would not be suspicious of the horrible incident I just experienced. I just miss being close to my parents. I'll just go home."

"But you have to work, let alone you have entered two weeks more. Is it not, dear? If you go out, your salary during this time will not come out. If you resign, usually one month later only accented by the office. Uh, but that's the rule for the company I work for, whether it's your factory. Just ask your supervisor or HRD. It's a shame that your work has not been paid. Good thing in them dong because they got human resources for free."

I don't know, actually I don't want to stop working from the factory because here I found a new family, new friends, and certainly a lover as good as Ridwan, not to mention my job is not too heavy. However, if I continue to be here I feel unable to if I have to be in fear every day. Because at any time Bu Wati can finish me off at any time, everything and in a way I never expected. Last night just by touching me, this body was instantly stiff and could not be moved.

"I'm tired, Lan. Often terrorized by invisible creatures. I was also afraid that at any time the mysterious assailant could come at any time" I said with a trembling voice. Bu Wati's violent face came back to my mind.

"You take it easy, here you are not alone. There I am, the day after Lina may also come home, there is also Bu Wati who is ready to be asked for help at any time. Yes, there is money."

Hearing Wulan mention that name made me even more frightened. Suddenly my body felt so cold that even my whole body was creepy and shivering with cold. Wulan, who had noticed me shaken, immediately reached out the back of her hand and touched my forehead, neck, and hands.

"God! Why is your body so hot, Han? We ate it out taking medicine, I happen to have paracetamol stock."

Patently, he fed me with the rice he just bought earlier. Wulan hasn't even changed her clothes yet. My eyes glazed over if there were no ghosts and Ms. Wati, the terror-seeker. Then I will be a happy person surrounded by good people. Wulan also helped me take a drug that has a fairly famous name produced in the company where he worked.

"Now you rest." Wulan seemed to justify the blanket covering my body. "I'm gonna take a shower, Han. You took a break to get well soon."

Wulan left me alone. I heard the sound of water splashing, apparently eating like this Wulan kept bathing. Slowly my eyes began to feel heavy. I don't know it's because of the effects of the drugs I'm taking, plus it's been more than midnight.

Sleeping this time, I really enjoyed it, many times I was awake because I kept having nightmares. Sometimes I dream of being chased by a ghost. The last one and make me unable to go back to sleep because in this dream Bu Wati viciously slashed me with a knife that he continued to carry everywhere, was behind his clothes. He repeatedly stabbed me in the stomach until it was torn and bleeding. As soon as I woke up and felt my stomach, thankfully it was all just a dream even though it still felt real.

Suddenly his grin and laughter more terrible than the sound of Miss Kunti kept ringing in the ears. Even when I close my ears the sound can still be captured by my sense of hearing.

"Already, stop!" I cried sobbing. My shout made Wulan wake up from her sleep. In a panic, he sat down beside me and rubbed my still hot forehead.

"What's up, Han? You're having nightmares again?" wulan asked with a pity face, she looked at me.

"No, n-no. I just woke up from the cold."

suddenly my phone rang indicating that there was a message that I received my eyes wide open when I found out who the sender of the message to me Bu Wati's name was displayed on my phone screen.

"Remember, if you break the agreement we agreed to, then I can make sure the day of death picks you up is the most terrible day for you. Death in the most sadistic way in the world and it can be said that this is the most terrible murder so far. Isn't that all, I heard you want to go home to Ungaran? Remember, Han. You go anywhere without my permission, so I can make sure only your body can go home. You'll hear your parents growling, lamenting over his son's terrible corpse and maybe even give them no chance to see you, but just your name."

My hands trembled as I read the message from the woman whose soul was unwell, even this phone almost fell out of my grasp.

Is bad! Of course it's very bad. Now I'm kind of locked up in a bloody index. Because wherever I go, I have to report to Ms. Wati. I don't know when I can get out of this. If I said, at that time I followed my brother's advice to go to Jakarta, my life would have been quieter. Because there I live with my family, not like now living far from loved ones, plus ghosts that keep popping up. You know, I used to go back to Ungaran from the first day I got terror. So all of this is rolling on up until now and getting worse.

"Han, if you have any problems, we can discuss to find a solution. Who knows if it can help you or at least make your heart a little relieved."

I just nodded, then went back to justifying the location of the slightly exposed blanket. "I'm fine, Lan. I'm sorry I had a nightmare, you woke up. Let's just go to bed."

I moved position, now I turn my back to Wulan. "Han, are you sure you're okay?" Wulan was still hunting me with the same question. I hurriedly looked at her with a smile, trying to convince her that everything was fine. I don't want to put too much weight on a woman who has responsibilities and her problems are much bigger than mine.

Only after seeing my smile did Wulan seem to believe when it was just a falsehood. There had not been ten minutes I heard the snoring coming from Wulan's mouth. After I thought he was asleep, I again sobbed lamenting my fate which was already at the tip of the horn.

Azan Fajr reverberated, I chose to calm my heart by resting before Him. I poured out all these heavy feelings of mine. My tears flowed down the blue prayer mat, my mother's last gift.

I did not know how long I prayed and rested, until I heard a knock from outside. Ah, lest it be Miss Wati and want to torture me again. No, I better let it go.

As it continued to sound, I ventured to look at the person at my door by peeking out of the window curtain. I was very surprised when I found three figures standing upright in front of the door.

"Assalamualaikum, Miss Hanna!" That's Bu Wati's scream. So who are these two strong people? Are they Bu Wati's man to finish me off? I better wake Wulan up. With eyes rubbing the woman woke up.

"What's wrong?" ask Wulan while yawning.

"In-outside there are two big bodies with Bu Wati. I'm afraid I'll have to go see them alone, Lan. That's why I woke you up to be with me."

The woman who still looked sleepy immediately opened the door without washing her face first. His hair was like a lion, a mess.

"What's up, Mom?" The woman asked Ms. Wati.

"They want to see you both." After answering Wulan's question, the middle-aged woman welcomed the two foreign men to their visit on a very early day.

"I'm sorry mom, we're interrupting in the morning like this. We sincerely expect the presence of Ms. Lan as well as Hana's brother at the police station to bear witness to the disappearance of sister Intan."

Wulan and I looked at each other confused as to how I should explain to them an unreasonable incident. Should I say that Intan will never be found because both his soul and body are trapped in the supernatural world in return for his deeds having allied with the devil in order to fulfill his wishes.
