The Return of the Red Dress

Rose Voice

‘Tadi what? Is there a nail?’ thought Via who returned to feel the area of the picture of the red rose.

Several times Via felt the painting but did not find the tip of the nail or anything.

“Roses. What ... This is your name?” said Via who spoke to the painting.

“Ya,” heard a woman's voice echoing at the end of the corridor as if confirming Via's question.

Sponta Via flinched, Via retreated and immediately turned to the end of the corridor, there was no one there, there was only a pot of ornamental plants with leaves that were slightly waving like they were blowing in the wind.

‘Ah maybe I misheard, ' thought Via.

Via rushed to leave the 2nd floor and toured the hotel to check on the performance of his staff.

Via choosing an employee elevator to go up because at this hour the employees are busy working and the elevator is rarely used.

Via opening an iron door in which there is an elevator door for employees.

Via entered and pressed the up button, while waiting for Via to look around.

The front area of the elevator was quite dark because during the day the lights in front of the employee elevator would be turned off.

Via felt like he was 5 not alone, he felt like someone else was in the room.

Ting. The elevator door opened.

Via enters and presses button 3, when the elevator opens Via exits and looking from the end of the corridor he sees a troley parked in front of the door of one of the rooms.

Via walked over and entered the room.

When he entered, he saw Reza cleaning the bathroom.

“Where is Za safe right?” ask Via.

Reza did not answer but was seen cleaning the wet floor.

“Za, Reza,” says Via.

“Reza!” call Via hard enough.

Strangely, there is a word from outside.

“Ya Bu,” sounds legitimately from doorstep.

Via exited the bathroom and saw Reza carrying a pile of linen on her shoulder.

“Loh you kok-“

He rushed to the bathroom and there was no one there.

“Why Bu?” reza was confused.

“So, I just saw you again clean the bathroom Za, I called you not nyahut. But you are in front of the door,” said Via.

“I was again in the pantry Bu took the same linen pillow case,” said.

It made Via confused, as well as Reza who heard the explanation from Via.

“Ya already I want to go around again, oh yes in the pantry there is a traley for dirty linen no?” ask Via.

“There's Mom, I'll take it for a minute,” he said.

Reza also pushed the troley shaped like a large pocket measuring 1 x 1 meter, the troley was commonly used to transport dirty linen from the rooms that have been cleaned.

Reza put all the dirty linen into it, next Via will go around to pick up the dirty linen on each floor.

Usually this task is done by linen staff, but not infrequently Via does it also to simply relieve the work of its staff.

Via started pushing the trolley and went up to the 5th floor, 6th floor and so on and returned to his room.

When Via entered the dirty linen room looks Rosa one of the linen staff is calculating the amount of dirty linen based on the type of bed.

“Bu, why did mom take the linen?” said surprised.

“What, all I was traveling,” said Via while dismantling a mountain of linen in the troley that he brought.

“How scared, what are you afraid of? Ghost?” ask Via.

Rosa was silent for a moment, “tadi I saw there was a girl out of the room mom kept penetrating the wall, into the laundry room Bu,”.

“I'm scared, so I'm here.”

“girls? Red shirt?” ask Via.

“Loh mom knows, mom can see ya?” ask her.

“Ya can I have eyes.”

“That's not what I mean Mom, I can see subtle creatures?”

Via shrugging both shoulders, “entah deh I'm not sure.”

“Udah Mom. This let me count and kumpulin.”

Via smiled and returned to his room, before entering his room Via was curious and opened the clean laundry room across the room.

‘Nobody, ' he thought.

Via closed the room and turned around wanting to enter his room.

As a few steps walked Via felt a strong shaking of the leg from behind him.

Via narrowed his brows and immediately opened the laundry room's door.

Via grunting, “Whatever you are, don't disturb us here. We are here only working and there is no intention to bother you!” said Via firmly.

Suddenly the pile of towel in the top shelf fell and scattered on the floor, the 2-meter-high iron shelf had swayed slowly.

There was laughter, but it was quite slow beside his ears. 

“Crazy yes, you added my work!” said Via upset.

Via began to clean up the entire towel or towel that initially folded neatly now he must fold it back one by one.

“Sini ma'am let me help,” said Rosa who suddenly entered.

“Definitely fall by yourself right Bu?” ask Rosa.

“Iya, but yes it is only a little profit,” said Via.

“I'm used to Ma'am, what else if it's night. This clothes hanger often moves itself,” said Rosa.

“Oh yes?”

“Iya Ma'am, but only a few months ago. When I first entered shift 2 there was never an incident like this,” he said.

Wipe Via clean up all the towels and then go back into his room to check all the reports he got from the results around the hotel.

At 18:10 Via prepared to go home as all his work was done, as he walked towards the basement a receptionist greeted him.

“Bu Via,” said.

“Oh Karin,” sahut Via.

“Bu ... Yesterday the mother who found the corpse huh?” ask her.

“Iya, it feels like I want to die standing see,” said Via.

“So the police officer nanyain the foreman, he said when the workers had gone home there were 1 person who was still sitting on the floor right at the invite home instead of silence so at stay with his colleagues,” he said.

“I am afraid that our hotel rating will drop because of this problem,” said Via.

“In fact even our rating goes up bu.”

“Hah?  How can?”

“Many speculations and assumptions people that our hotel is haunted and because of the news, there are many who want to test the guts in this hotel by booking a room and then driving around the hotel at midnight,” says Karin.

Via can only laugh and not believe with people today who are very fond of such superstitions.
