The Return of the Red Dress
Trapped on the second floor
“Mas I see lately Via often moody and sometimes daydreaming,” said Ayu while giving a glass of coffee to Dimas.
“Maybe Via has a problem with his job,” said Dimas.
“What do we visit him sometime?”
“Good idea, guys ...”
Dimas smiled as he lowered his eyebrows, as if showing the code to his wife.
“What are you doing Mas?” ask Ayu.
“All of us enjoyed our time together at that hotel,” said Dimas.
“Halah ... Just say you want to ask for rations right,” said Ayu.
“Yes ... It is also necessary,” Dimas said.
“We only visit Via mas instead of staying,” said Ayu.
“Yes ... Sometimes we sleep with different shades. Mas will order a room whose view facing the city how?” ask Dimas.
“Ya already then,” says Ayu.
The next day, unbeknownst to Via, his parents had booked a room on the 9th floor.
On the other hand Via get info if the status of the room on the 9th floor is filled.
In the room report form it is written clearly a name similar to the name of his father, Dimas Aditya.
Via is not too concerned about the problem, he is more focused on his work.
Not long ago Rosa knocked on the door of Via's room.
“Excuse me Mom,” said Rosa.
“He's in Rosa.”
Rosa was still wearing ordinary clothes, not yet wearing her uniform.
“Bu, here is my resignation letter,” Rosa said as she handed me an envelope.
“Why did you resign?” ask Via.
“I want to go home to Bu,” said Rosa quibble.
“Back home? Then you don't come back here again?” ask Via.
“Ti-no Ma'am, I want to work in the field only,”.
“Do you not want to consider it again?”
“No Ma'am, I want to resign,”.
“Then excuse me Mom,” said Rosa as she left.
This further stressed Via, not to mention many people who cornered him over the Ismail incident.
Now the office is getting quieter, there is only Via itself at that hour.
Via got up from his seat and walked towards the pantry, Via checked the supplies of materials and then recorded them in the booklet.
Just now Via wants to count supplies, Via was surprised by one of the objects behind him that suddenly fell down apparently it was a small shampoo bottle that is commonly used for guests.
He returned the bottle and continued his work. When finished taking note Via came out of the room and returned to his room.
Duk! Duk!
There was a rumbling sound behind the laundry room door, Via was surprised by the sound because his voice was quite loud.
Via checked, but there was no one in the room.
‘Looks like I should go around first, ' thought Via.
Via did not want to dissolve in this tense feeling, he decided to go around the hotel while controlling the performance of his staff.
Via starts from the public area first, when walking in the lobby area Via sees if the work on the additional space is stopped. There are no more construction activities there.
Via then went up to the second floor, he checked every detail of the sanitation and hygiene that was there.
While on that floor Via did not want to look at the painting and chose to go straight up again to the next floor.
‘Loh to open again,' Inner Via.
In front of the elevator, there was no one.
Via re-press the button three, when the elevator that will close back open again it repeated up several times.
“This elevator is broken what exactly?” nagging Via while getting out of the elevator.
Suddenly there was the sound of a woman laughing, her voice was like far from her position at that time.
Via's feathers immediately stood up without cause, Via finally decided to climb through the emergency stairs.
Via opened the big door of iron, then entered and directly climbed the stairs.
The atmosphere on the emergency stairs is enough to make the body shudder in horror because the place is quite dark and very rarely passed by people.
Step by step Via climbed the stairs, the sound of his steps echoed.
Until Via felt that there was a sound of another step besides himself on the stairs, Via fell silent and slowly looked back.
But in fact, it was only he who was in that place.
Via re-strewn his legs he climbed one ladder with his right foot.
It sounded like he was pounding twice, and then it felt like someone was behind him.
With his heart beating fast, Via tried to turn his head again.
Right in front of him stood a woman in a red dress with a pale face and full of blood, the woman grinning towards him.
Spontaneous Via shouted and ran upstairs.
When he reached the third floor, it appeared that the third floor emergency door was locked. Via must go up again to get out.
Via climbed up quickly even though he was almost out of breath, he continued to climb the stairs as quickly as possible until he found the emergency exit unlocked.
Via straight out of the emergency staircase.
The absurd thing happened again, instead of going up to the top floor Via instead back to the second floor.
Via's legs were shaking from fatigue climbing the stairs in addition Via wearing shoes with high enough rights it made Via's feet in pain.
‘Why am I going back to the second floor again anyway?’ inner Via.
Via remembered the woman in the painting.
When Via approached the painting, fresh blood flowed out to the floor.
Via ran towards the guest elevator, and pressed the button to go upstairs.
Inside the elevator Via was sitting limp, he did not expect that something strange like this would happen.
The woman's face was also still clearly reflected in her mind.
‘Why does he always follow me?’ thought Via.
The elevator opened, as it exited the elevator Via instead returned to the second floor again where the painting was located.
Many times Via tried to climb up again but still he returned to the second floor.
Out of annoyance, Via approached the painting and slammed it against the wall.
But strangely enough, the painting was not damaged at all not even scratched.
‘Who are you really? Why are you nodding at me damn!” said Via while throwing the painting.
Via effort apparently in vain, the painting remains intact as ever without any scratches or damage.
When Bia wanted to throw the painting, Via's finger was pierced by something and caused his finger to bleed to drip into the woman's face.
Blood that came out quite a lot, Via felt confused what made his finger bleed even though in the frame of the painting there was no sharp object or anything like that.
When noticed the painting is like absorbing the blood of Via until the blood droplets disappear by themselves.
“Via you what?” Vishnu suddenly came.
“Wisnu ..”
Via's eyes glazed over when Vishnu came, he thought if he would continue to be trapped on the second floor without anyone there because some facilities there were closed by the hotel.
