Mystery of Room 13
Section 45: Witness of the Discovery of the Corpse

These eyes are reluctant to be closed, many are a burden on the mind. My sick father, my life who hitchhiked in people's homes because if I continue to live in the senses maybe I can die standing because of the terror of the head ghost. Not to mention the mystery of Gayatri's disappearance and Wulan's problems with Intan. Now plus Indah who strongly disagrees with my closeness with Ridwan. Looks like I have to know about Ridwan so I know how his nature, what is kept Beautiful to me is true.

The long bell as a sign that the break hour has ended makes all workers wake up and immediately return to their routine.

"Han, is everything done?" Ms. Ning approached me who was writing some reports.

"Live a little, Mom, before I report to you."

The woman, often nicknamed the factory lion, dragged an empty chair and sat down next to me. "If there's something you don't understand, don't ask. I like the way you work deftly and quickly understand if ordered, the way you work like this reminds of Gayatri. If only he had it would have been a child promoted to staff or at least so admin I'm sorry he's gone first."

"Mom, if you'll know if Gayatri ever attempted suicide?"

The woman's face did not hide her surprise. His eyebrows were clinging to each other while looking at me. He moved his chair and got closer to me.

"Do you know him?" whispered Bu Ning slowly.

"No, Ma. It's just that I've heard her name a few times referred to as the girl who disappeared from her index room and I happened to occupy the same room as the room where she disappeared like swallowed by the earth."

"You're living in the bloody index in that thirteen-room, Han?" Seeing my nod, Bu Ning looked to bite her lips.

"I-I remember clearly, how terrible the bodies found in that room were. Almost one week these eyes can not sleep because it continues to be imagined. Hanging heads and naked bodies lying on the floor became the party venue for the maggots."

"Mom Ning knew about the discovery of the corpse?"

"of course. My room was in room fourteen even I was the first to report to the indecos guard back then that there was a foul smell in room thirteen."

"Then?"

"I just got back from my village, in Magelang. I smelled a foul smell, I thought there was a rat carcass at first. Room all I searched but of course nil. Then I report to the indecos guard. After searching it turned out the source of the room. After it was opened there was the woman's corpse."

I gaped because Bu Ning was one of the eyewitnesses to the discovery of the very famous corpse and arguably the beginning of why my index room is called the bloody indecos in room thirteen.

"Oh yes, Han. You were talking about Gayatri having attempted suicide, right? Where do you know that from? The factory closed all the stories. All the workers have been sworn not to tell the story that could tarnish the name of the factory."

Should I tell you what I saw earlier. However, would Bu Ning believe that Gayatri had never tried to end her life but that dancer with a terrible face was chasing after her and wanted to finish her off with a shawl.

"Han, why are you so dumb?"

"A-anu, Mom."

"Ona-anuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. I want to know where you got that information? Yes, the workers at that time were prohibited from giving this information to others but where can manage the mouth and speech of thousands of employees."

I took a deep breath, it seemed like I had to reveal everything I saw. It's up to Bu Ning to believe it or not, it's business later.

"So, Mom. You want to believe it or not, please." I gulped before continuing my words.

"So on break, I saw a piece of Gayatri's past. Not to attempt suicide but he was chased by a dancer. After being caught, the dancer's green scarf was wrapped around Gayatri's neck and hung. Good thing a man came to save her."

"Priyambodos... He is a stupid man. She's my cousin, I told her not to go near Gayatri. Since it had been twice the girl every time being close to a man would definitely end tragically. Some were buried in rolls of cloth, some were killed by a train, and he died because there was a work accident in the spinning building. He fell out of the window on the second floor."

I was about to ask Ms. Ning a lot of things but a technician called her for a reason. I smiled at least I met a witness to the body found in my room as well I already knew what the fate of three people who had taken away the sanctity of Gayatri.

I continued my work because it was about to dawn. Every now and then I glanced at the beautiful face that still looked sour and angry at me. I've never seen that girl so angry at me. Could it be that she was so worried about me not to be fooled by Ridwan or else the girl would put her heart on the dimpled man. If that's true then it's better that I let go of Ridwan so as not to damage the friendship that is well established.

The long bell rings the sign of the time we're going home. If the past days of every shift change there is already the next shift worker who helps me clean up, clean up, so this time because it's Sunday and all the workers are off then we have to make sure this place is clean and all the machines are not connected to the electrical installation.

"Happy weekend, guys! Remember, check your work schedule for next week!" Bu Ning shouted for a moment before we all went home.

I was in the parking lot when Indah came with Ridwan, both of them seemed so familiar laughing and joking. I saw the twinkle of eyes that beamed on Beautiful as it stared at the tall man. Is my guess about Beautiful who has more feelings that true? If it's true, I'll back off. I owe him a lot and his family. Although I can not deny this heart so sick to witness the closeness of Indah also Ridwan. Friend and the man who started to make my heart shake.

These tears without feeling dripping, I hurriedly removed them. One thing I thought about was leaving the factory so as not to disturb the two togetherness. I should be able to forget the taste that started this bud, not to bloom.

Damn, why my bike just broke down when I want to quickly dart from this place. Even more annoying, Ridwan who saw me tired immediately ran ahead of Indah and headed towards me. I could see the dislike face that he had shown.

"Do you need help?"

"No need, I just push. It seems like in front of the factory there is a workshop."

Ridwan laughed loudly. "Honey, where there is a workshop that is open this Sunday. Here I see which bike I know I can."

"No need, even if the workshop does not open, the motor can I push. Besides my index is close so it's okay." I tried to reject Ridwan's offer.

"My dear, take care of you. Herein keys. I'm gonna check your machine."

"I told you I don't love you" I said, handing over the keys to the bike.

"Currently not yet but next time if approved will be my halal love for me to touch."

Ridwan spoke while blinking his eyes next to his, making me shudder in horror. May Indah who stopped because she was chatting with one of her friends did not hear the chatter launched by Ridwan.

"Easy-after. You want to help my motorbike really do want to fight doang?"

"Well, both are no problem. Once the oar of two three islands is exceeded, while diving drink water."

"Yes, let it go!" I said ketus responding to the proverb that Ridwan said. The man laughed at my words.

"Darling, you're just funny. How about when we're married, surely our house will be full of laughter and nagging. Relax, it's okay I have a chatty wife. Let the house not be empty. Your bullshit is my spirit, baby."

My eyes glared as the tall man kept calling me dear. In the parking lot, there are still some people talking.

"Darling continues! Falling in love is strange. The world seems to belong to itself, others contract." The words of Mbak Jun made my cheeks flushed red.
