Mystery Mirror

School Guard Sister

'One more school left. The spirit!!'

Tessa encourages herself not to be weak. Makian Pak Noto this morning was still ringing in his ears. How he shouted in front of other employees, because he was the only salesman who did not close the target this month. At an online school like this, it should be natural if sales of textbooks like Tessa have difficulty getting buyers. But obviously the company does not want to know, let alone other sales friends can close the target, that means Tessa should also be able to.

Dharma Wiyata Health Science Secondary School, Tessa stopped in front of the large, seemingly deserted school building. Ah.. reasonable, because the students must learn online, and some employees may be WFH. There were no guards on guard, the school was completely deserted. It's still twelve o'clock. Maybe everyone has gone home? Srek... From a distance Tessa heard the sound of a broomstick rubbing against the paving. 'Maybe there's still someone inside' Tessa thought. Slowly he drove his motorbike into the schoolyard, stopping right in front of the hallway leading to the teacher's office. There are several motorcycles still parked, giving Tessa hope that there is still someone she can meet.

Srek..srek...srek. Tessa went through the hallway through several classrooms. Slender. There's no one. He continued walking down the hall, following directions to the teacher's office. Far in front of Tessa appears a man in a nurse's uniform is walking with a map. The man walked across the hall from right to left, looking from one room to another. Tessa sped up her pace, catching up with the man.

"Excuse me!" tessa shouted, but the man did not listen. Tessa reached the end of the dead-end hallway, she turned to her right, looking like a large, quiet room. Then Tessa turned to the left. The wall! There is no room on the left! Where did the nurse go? Tessa looked up, suddenly her nape goosebumps.

'Paws'

"Awh!!!" Tessa screamed, someone suddenly patted her on the shoulder from behind.

"Who are you looking for, mbak?" a woman about 50 years old appears behind Tessa. Wearing a dark blue suit and black pantofel shoes. His body was slightly puffed up with a pinched pigtail on his head.

"Eh. anu.. " Tessa is still shocked.

"Who's looking?" the woman repeated her question with a friendly smile.

'But Tessa. It's daytime, where there's a ghost passing by day! control yourself, Testes!' tessa's inner self realized her stupidity.

"Eh. sorry Mom. I'm here to offer a textbook. I'd like to see the principal?"

"Owh. I'm the principal here. Please come in"

The chief invited Tessa into the big, quiet room earlier.

"Thank you Ma'am. My name is Tessa. I'd like to offer you a textbook, ma'am, to sell to students"

"Owh. I'm Ambar, the principal. These kids are still all online, but that's okay. I will be able to communicate with the teacher. Tessa brought her example?"

"Yes. there's Mom. So this is....." Tessa explained at length about her trading. He shows examples of the books he brought and his catalog. Ambar listened carefully, giving Tessa hope.

"looks interesting. If I order some of the students who are here now, do they have any?"

"How many students are you?"

"350 students"

'Whoaahh! Gilak!' Tessa. With the order of a number of it today, he can close the target up to two months, can be relaxed but still payday. As long as he has never received this many orders, he is even sure that Mr. Noto his manager has never been. Tessa imagined the praise she would get from her colleagues later.

"Mr.. Mbak Tessa?" Bu Ambar patted Tessa's dreamy thigh.

"Eh.. Yes Ma'am. So what? want to buy 350 copies?"

"Don't daydream a lot mbak, later satan tambet passing," joked Bu Ambar. Tessa is just grimacing.

"If the goods are there, I prepare the money now Mbak Tes"

"O. yes Mom, I called the office first. If there's a later let's send it now"

Tessa was excited to get her phone out, contact her partner at the office. There was no answer, apparently no signal. Many times he shook his hp wiggle, still no signal.

"Sorry Mom, can I go out first? here is a bit difficult signal, understand hp I'm ugly" said Tessa low.

"Please".

"Hello, Yu.. Ayu.. the book is ready - 350 ex?.. Yes.. this is the headmaster directly who orders, the money is also paid now, cash!.. yes the name of this fortune, how? uh huh? 200? Yes already, send the potluck first. I'll say the rest will follow. Have the Wasis send yes.the address I send via WA. okay.."

'SMK Dharma Wiyata, Jl. Pandan Arum No.66's'. Tessa sent Ayu an address.

"Go home!! Let's go!!" A nurse-dressed man who appeared suddenly gripped Tessa's hand. Tessa is shocked! The man's stature was thin, his eye bags blackened, his teeth yellowed with drooling, his fingernails were rather long and black. "Huh!!" Tessa shook her hand and closed her eyes tightly.

"Mbak Tessa," Ambar's voice was heard calling Tessa from the end of the hall. Tessa opened her eyes, and the nurse disappeared. Tessa's breath hunts, picked up a fallen cellphone. Tessa hesitates to enter the hallway to return to Bu Ambar's room. 'Let's test, for the sake of closing the target!' tessa's mind was torn between returning to the room or going home.

"Mak Tessa is okay?" ask Ambar from a distance. Tessa went back to Ambar's room, put aside all doubts for the money she had in her shadow.

"Mom..the school is quiet!"

"Yes, all the employees have gone home. I used to go home last"

"Mom, I thought I saw a man wearing a nurse's shirt. Is there a nurse here, too?" tessa hesitated.

"Owh. Maybe Faisal, he's a school guard here. It's also called a health school, Ma'am. So yes the employee uniform also adjusts" Ambar replied calmly.

"Owh, yes," Tesaa nodded with a smile.

The two of them chatted for a long time, while waiting for Wasis and his partner to come to deliver books.

Five hours passed, the day was already late in the evening, but the Wasis had not yet come. Ambar is still faithfully accompanying Tessa.

"Mom Ambar, I'm sorry so wait a long time. Ambar's mom didn't come home?" tessa asked so bad.

"Nothing Miss Test, I'm used to going home late".

"Mom, how should we go home? It's getting dark. Tomorrow morning I promise to deliver the book immediately" Tessa's feelings began to fidget.

"Why rush Tessa? tessa wants a drink?" bu Ambar seemed to remain calm.

"No, ma'am, thank you. Let's go home, Mom, in a minute. Maybe our driver got lost" Tessa got out of her seat, about to say goodbye. Outside the sky was already dark, the lights were lit only in Ambar's bu room.

"Yes, it might be hard to find this school. Well, ma'am, please go home first. I still have to turn on some lights, it looks like Faisal forgot to turn on" Bu Ambar shook Tessa's hand, cold! Ambar's hand is cold!

Tessa rushed out of the room, passing through the hallway to the school grounds. The passageway was still dark, Tessa sped up her pace, but did not even reach the courtyard. The faster, the faster, even the running. But the school yard he never found! Tessa just kept walking in that dark alley. He ran as hard as he could, he saw a light in front of him. Tessa ran up to him, and it turned out to be Ambar's room. Tessa flabbergasted her head into the room, Ambar ma'am still there. With disheveled hair, blackened eye bags, and her cheeks blotted. His eyes were cold and terrifying!

"Mr Tessa, haven't come home yet?" bu Ambar grinned, revealing a terrible smile.

Tessa screamed and ran as hard as she could! She cried throughout her escape, screamed and kept screaming. Suddenly his foot stumbled upon a square-shaped marble stone, inscribed 'STONES OF SORROW, ENGRAVED THE NAME OF OUR FRIEND HERE FAISAL AHMAD. HIS BODY DIED, BUT HIS NAME IS ETERNAL IN THIS STONE, IN OUR HEARTS'. Tessa was getting scared, her legs were limping, she was crying as she tried to keep walking, continuing out of the dark hallway. Tessa walked. She screamed with all her might, crying as it became. The cry was inaudible, silent, desolate. There was only Ambar maam who came with his horrible smile.

"Mr Tessa hasn't come home yet? Would you like to accompany me here?"

Phone conversation.

Wasis : Ayu, is this really the address? I've been muting this guy since! I haven't seen you in five hours. There is no name of the school here.

Ayu : Right, Mas. That was me forwarding from Tessa's chat. You try to call Tessa, Mas.

Wasis: HP is dead. I did not call from earlier. Let's not get prank! I'm back, right? It's tonight.

Ayu : Yes, Mas. Tomorrow I will be back with Tessa.
