217. HOTEL GUEST DISTURBANCES

Some guests will check out this morning until noon, before twelve o'clock all guests who stay here will check out, and of course will be replaced by other guests who have been queuing up through the travel agency owned by Mr. Robert Jay's friend.

And it will continue to repeat and arrive, the name is also an inn business, surely what is expected is guests who stay here.

For mr. Jay this is a field of money, but not for us who are in charge of maintaining the hotel.

Unfortunately Watuadem that time could not see who would come here next.

“Mas... see this mas..from the email sent by mr. Jay.. today there are ten families or guests who have checked in through the travel agency Pak Obet”.

“Iya.. Even the room numbers are all appropriate….. And they all also stay for two nights all mbak”

“Ya already mas.. get ready if there are guests who have come out, mas Agus and the team clean the room again.. Is the trainer no longer here?”

“It looks like yesterday was the last time they taught us.. They assume we have been able to release ourselves to take care of this hotel mbak”

“Ya already mas... this morning we wait for cateringg come, mas Agus and Team have to prepare to deliver breakfast for guests here before noon they check out mas”

As usual I, Uncle Cheng and Jiang will share breakfast after the catering party comes and prepare everything. After morning activities, of course, me and my three friends will watch the back…

Guests in the backyard and close to the river will be our security priority.

But luckily this morning until noon there was no one to head towards the river, as they were preparing to check out from the hotel.

Ms. Tina as a receptionist was very busy serving guests who came out of the hotel.Tina's actual task was easy, because the payment has been through the travel agent Mr. Robert friend Jay sir.

Ms. Tina only takes care of registration in accordance with the email received from Mr. Robert's employees.

Me and my three friends from morning until noon today are very busy cleaning the empty room, because it will be one noon the next will come here.

At exactly twelve o'clock all guests have left the hotel.. Ma'am Tina can rest for a while because soon a substitute guest will come.

*****

“Pak Cheng …. Aren't we asking for more people to be here?”

“For what Gus?”

“Ya to help clean clean room pack?”

“And the new guy will know what we are doing here... That's Gus?”

“Iya sir.. surely they will know also what we are doing pak”.

“Then it is not necessary to have new people here again.just us and Sir Diran who know this problem Gus”.

This afternoon Cheng and I stood by at the back of the yard close to the river.

Indeed, sometimes there are guests who want to swim to the middle, even though it has been given a prohibition sign so as not to swim to the middle.

But our presence here is enough to help people in the park, sometimes there are those who need our help to provide standard drinks such as tea, mineral water or even coffee.

Noon until late afternoon nothing happened here, everything is safely under control.. Except for one little boy who may be five years old who always holds a stuffed toad of green color that has faded.

The little boy who caught my attention, always staring across the river and then laughing while pointing towards the river.

And the incident repeated several times.pointing towards the river or across the river, then laughing himself, and of course me and Mr. Cheng could not underestimate what the little boy was doing.

“Gus. We should always pay attention to the little boy, it's just that I for now somehow can't see what the little boy was pointing at”

“Iya sir…. “

“Maybe tonight I will know what caused the little boy to laugh and point towards the river sana”

“Yes sir, I'm really suspicious of the kid's activity sir..”

“Just do not lose our attention to the child Gus. The four of us must take turns.mbak Tina this afternoon must have finished making a guest report that came to the office employee Pak Obet kan”

“So later when we are busy between meals, mbak Tina should still look towards the podok where the family of the child lives Gus”

The afternoon when the caterers came…. As usual me and my three friends shared dinner for the guests who were here.

Earlier, Mr. Cheng and I had told Mr. Tina and Jiang about the oddity that was being experienced by the toddler, so that when I, Mr. Cheng and Jiang shared dinner, tina's mother was in charge of overseeing the lodge where the little boy's family lived.

Ms. Tina sat in the garden chair while sometimes looking at the state of the room or cottage where the child's family lived.

Me and my three friends also as usual offer what lights will be used in each room, and for now those who stay using the lamp is blocked rather than Petromak lights.

“Where is mbak, is there anything suspicious with that room?”

“Nggak mas... Tina from earlier sat here and watched the room, and occasionally Tina looked towards the river, who knew there was something strange about the situation in the river ”

“Ya already mbak Tina.. soon night arrives.. we must be more vigilant again... see that Mr. Cheng is looking around to make sure things are okay here.”.

“Later tonight I will travel along with Pak Diran again mbak..”

“Iya mas.. duh our responsibility is getting bigger mas... if we used to only be responsible for ourselves, while here we have to be responsible for the security of guests who are here also mas”

“Yah want how else mbak.. we are indeed here for a mission”.

At eight o'clock in the evening, all the guests entered his room.

Mr. Cheng and I were in the backyard with two petromak lights burning brightly, while Mr. Tina and Jiang were inside the main room.

“Pak Cheng, I want to go to Pak Diran first, I want to tell you about the little boy who always looks towards the river it”

“Iya sir.. It is better at nine o'clock I go there pak”

Nine hours everything was closed, including Tina had also turned off her computer, and now we should have been able to rest, only one person took turns to take care in the main room who knew there were guests who needed something.

But unfortunately for one thing we couldn't rest well. Maybe we can just sleep before dawn, when it feels all safe here.

“Sana Gus.. invite Diran here now, the three of us try to see what is going on here”

“Iya sir...”.

Coincidentally when I opened the door of the main hall, Pak Diran was patrolling around the parking lot which was now filled with ten well-parked cars.

“Pak Diran..”

“Goodnight Mr Agus.. how can I help you sir?”

“There are those I want to talk to Pak Diran about guests who are here pak”

“About what Mr Agus?”

“We just go inside sir, behind the coincidence there is Mr. Cheng too, we can chat with Mr. Cheng about what we just saw pak”

*****

“Hmmmm so here there is a small child who most likely can see something that is in the river, but Mr Agus and Mr Cheng can not see what is in the river?”

“Betul Pak Diran..and I think now the little boy is crying, which I can hear late, I can hear, currently the little boy wants to get out of the room and wants to go to the river that is behind it pak”

“Iya right.. There is a cry of a child, and of course the cry will be scary for other guests, because other guests could have thought it was the sound of mediation in here”

“This is all Sir Diran.. how about I go there and ask that the little boy stop his crying, because it bothers guests who are here”.

“Monggo sir Agus.. but better invite bu Tina as well.. Let Ms. Tina talk to the parents of the child” said Mr. Diran

I went inside the main room to call Tina's mother who was sitting behind the reception desk.

Then Tina and I went to room or cabin number five.

“The room number five is inhabited by a family of Mr. Tedi and his two children..”.

“Mbak Tina just knocked on the door later yes, and ask what we can help her to stop her crying”

Ma'am Tina knocked on the door several times while saying an excuse.

A man who may be fifty years old opens the door.. The father's face was a bit confused to see me and Tina's mom at the door.

“Goodnight Mr. Tedi. sorry we are from the hotel service.. We want to ask if there is anything we can help, maybe we need to make tea or what is it so that the father's daughter does not cry anymore?”

“Waduuhh sorry.. My son's cry is disturbing yes mbak?”

“Iya sir.. Fear guests who stay here later think that there are subtle creatures that are bothering them here, even though they do not know who is crying is the son of heheheh” father

“Iya mbak... this is Dita…. Said he wanted to play into the river mbak.

“Try ask first Mr. Tedi. actually why did Dita get cold to the river behind it?”

“Tadi we have asked mbak.. she said there is a beautiful mbak mbak who will invite Dita to play.. mbak mbak who said she wears a box skirt and white clothes”.

“Eh sorry mbak…. Is it true that it's haunted?” ask Tedi's wife

“Begini bu...pak..pak we are in the middle of the forest, and the name in the middle of the forest is not appropriate, there is nothing, although this hotel area has been secured from the mystical thing”

“So yes there must still be some mystical things outside the hotel that might try to interfere with activities here” explained Tina

“Then for my son this how mbak? He does not want to be silent if he has not been invited out and towards the river it” said Mr. Tedi

“Eh this is how Mr. Tedi is. I will call the security officer here, he may be able to help Dita in this matter” said Tina.

I slightly ran towards Sir Diran who was waiting in the middle seat of the park to call Pak Diran who was waiting there.

*****

Mr. Diran listened to the story of Mr. Tedi whatever Dita did while at this hotel, including tonight when Dita asked to go out and head towards the river.

“Beginnya sir Tedi.. for a while sir Tedi to the main room only, there is brighter the situation, because there are lights”.

“Let's see again whether Dikita is still cool to the river or he has forgotten what is in the river it”

“I think as a security officer.It is very reasonable if in the middle of the forest there are annoying like this, but believe me this hotel is safe as long as we do not get out of the hotel” area

Mr. Tedi and the boyongan family to the main room, Dikita during the walk to the main room held by Pak Diran, I know during holding hands at Dita, Pak Diran's mouth did not stop saying prayers.

The lamp is the main room I turn on sema, so the main room is now brightly lit.

“Bu Tina.. please hold your hand at DITA, I will bring you the drink I have prayed for later, because the little boy has been affected by the woman who is always across the river” whispered Pak Diran to mbak Tina

“Iya sir.. Will Tina try to hold hands in Dita” Tina replied in a whisper

“Eh sir Tedi and bu tedi.. Please one of the accompanying Dita who is with Tina bu.. anyway accompanied by Dita until I want to give a prayer to Dita” said Pak Diran.

“Dik Dita... yuk sit with aunt here.. this Mbah Diran want to get a drink for Dita” invite mbak Tina.
