"Alhamdulillah.close the door." Nathan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't, number twelve!" Setta patted Nathan's still trembling shoulder.

The elevator opens on the twelfth floor.

"Don't look back!" setta said he was warning Nathan and Bejo.

Bejo wanted to look back but Nathan hurriedly held him back from turning his head.

"I'm with you guys, right?" bejo Pinta.

"This is the door, open it, how?" ask Nathan.

"Yes, pray isya!" bring Bejo.

"Jamaah? the tumben." Nathan patted Bejo on the back.

"I don't want to pray again ah, kapok if I see you again, but I didn't believe you."

Bejo headed to the bathroom to wash because that was the only place in the hotel room to get water.

Setta grabbed the face of the parachute he always carried in his bag and prepared him to congregate with his brother.

The clock on the wall of the hotel room shows at two in the morning. Setta woke up because the throat was stuck so thirsty. He grabbed a mineral bottle on the table and drank it.

Suddenly when he turned his head the face of the ghost of the Dutch woman was already in front of him.

"Astagfirullahaladzim, I'm sorry I didn't bother you so please don't bother."

Setta lowered his head while trying to read the verse of the chair. The ghost floated away with a creepy laugh.

The next day, Setta arrived at his house. Ayu came knocking on her door. Nathan did hire Ayu to be a domestic assistant there. However, Mbak Ayu did not want to stay overnight, he only worked from eight in the morning until four in the afternoon.

"Yesterday I came here Non, uh no one," said Mbak Ayu as he swept.

"I went to papa's grave with mama mbak, yesterday."

"Oh so.. This is why I've been moved back again, back again, here anyway?" said Mbak Ayu who saw the rocking chair grandmother is always in the same place when it has been moved to the back shed.

"Yes have not been moved, mbak," said Setta with a smile.

"You go to the scene now, a child finds the body of a woman hanging in an empty factory in the Seroja area."

Captain Ghani gives orders to Bejo and Nathan.

"Ready, Kapt!" sahut Nathan and Bejo together.

Arriving at the empty factory, several police and forensic experts have arrived and examined the condition of the body.

"Hello I'm Sarah, I'm the replacement for Mr. Setyo who was assigned to Star City."

A woman wearing a name tag that read Forensics team greeted Nathan and extended her hand.

"Hi I'm Nathan, I hope we can work well together." Nathan returned the post of doctor Sarah's hand.

"This body is about twenty years old, there is no sign of violence just a snare wound in the neck, in case he committed suicide" said Dr Sarah.

"His identity knows, Jo?" Nathan looked at Bejo.

"Udah Tan, Karisma Siregar, a student at the Green campus, majoring in informatics management. His KTP is the address in Kampung Kijang, but he costs the campus deck," said Bejo.

"Okay, I want someone to ask their questions about him, who he's related to, and who knows who knows what he's got again" Nathan said.

"I brought the body, I want to investigate further, I'll call you later" said Sarah.

"Can you get your phone number?" ask Nathan.

Sarah grabs Nathan's phone and keeps his phone number on Nathan's phone.

Nathan came home about eight o'clock in the evening to get home.

"Getishalam."

Setta opened the door for Nathan with a surprised look on his face with a female figure behind Nathan.

"Who's taking her home, huh?"

tanya Setta looked at the figure of a female ghost wearing a long-handed blue T-shirt and jeans. The figure looked down with long, unraveled hair covering his face.

"Ah time anyway Set, pantesan from earlier Abang goosebumps disco gini, dunya anyone come?"

Nathan looked behind him a bit scared, then went inside the house.

"Anything to eat?" ask Setta.

"What food is there?" Nathan asked back.

"So Mbak Ayu cooked vegetable soup with fried bloated fish, I also learned to make sambel earlier." said Setta

"Dine! Take a shower first." Nathan gave two thumbs up to Setta and went into the bathroom.

"Sir, why did you follow Nathan's brother anyway?" setta asked the female ghost figure who was only silent.

Nathan, who had taken a shower and changed clothes, went to the dinner table and ate his dinner with Setta.

"Today you're starting a murder case huh?" ask Setta.

"Not yet to know the deck, the hell was still suspected dead body committed suicide."

The female ghost figure shook her head while crying.

"Women wear blue shirts, jeans, hair this way" Setta said.

"Kok know? well, maybe he's the one who's following Brother?" nathan asked who was replied nodding by Setta.

"It's not like suicide, it's probably murder" Setta said.

The female ghost nodded her head and wept even more.

"Seriously deck, so he was murdered?"

"It looks so."

"Try asking who killed the deck?" nathan asked as he chewed his food.

"From that moment he was silent just nodding the same bell."

"Hmmm hard yes then, oh yes tomorrow we love the data to your new school yes, so that it fits in the data and all the payments are sparse, so, fortunately, you can get a deck scholarship if it is not quite expensive to enter there" said Nathan.

"Yes bang Setta will come."

Nathan glanced over at the granny rocking chair that moved by itself.

"Eat, grandma," Nathan said

Setta just smiled watching his brother.

"What is the grandma?" Setta teases Nathan.

"Emang is not a grandmother?" nathan asked with a look of fear.

"Grandma, just calm down."

Setta smilingly looked at his grandmother who was sitting on a rocking chair with a pale face while humming.

***

That morning Nathan brought Setta to visit his sister's new school. All the data and the monthly repayment of money Nathan has paid off for the next year. The money is a savings legacy of his papa money that he set aside for Setta's education costs.

"At least one year this Brother calmly thinks about your school fees, stay Abang nabung again for your school fees in the future, Abang want you to study diligently for Brother proud, Abang proud, make mom papa and grandma proud," said Nathan embrace Setta's shoulder.

"Ready, bang!" Setta replied with his floor.
