The Return of the Red Dress
The incident on the 3rd Floor
“Bu ... Bu Via?” several times Ronald knocked on the door of Via's open room.
Visible Via was daydreaming, until the siara of Ronald who was loud enough to resuscitate him.
“Ohh ... Ronald. Please come in,” said Via.
“Bu Via why?” ask Ronald.
“Gak. What's wrong?”
“I from earlier knocked on the door but like Bu Via daydreaming.”
“Ronald. You if you see anything strange on the 3rd floor ignore yes,” said Via.
“What does Bu mean?”
“Well anyway if you see strange things you ignore aja.”
“Good Bu.”
“Oh yes this room report that I asked for.”
“Thank you Ronald, you can go back to the top,” said Via.
Ronald returns to the 3rd floor after his lunch break.
Meanwhile, Via was very curious about the figure of the woman, he decided to go to the corridor of the 2nd floor.
When exiting the elevator, from the end of the corridor Via saw Vishnu standing while continuing to look at the painting.
Via also approached Vishnu.
“Pak Vishnu,” saya Via.
“Pak? Mr. Vishnu.”
Via waved his hand in front of Vishnu's face, but Vishnu only remained silent with his eyes staring at the painting.
Via then patted the shoulder of Vishnu until Vishnu jerked.
“Pak Vishnu!” said Via a little loudly while patting Vishnu's shoulder.
“Hah? How are you here?” vishnu.
Actually Vishnu and Via have been friends since childhood, but for some reason Via is forbidden by Ayu not to visit Vishnu often.
“I should ask, Mr Vishnu why here?” ask Via.
Visnu looks like confusion, he looks to the right and left.
“Don't know, I'm confused why I'm here,”.
“That's weird, oh yeah this is a new painting?” ask Via.
“Iya from papa. What do you think is good, right?” ask Vishnu.
“Good hell, but like there's something from this painting.”
Via approached the painting and saw the writing in the lower right corner of the painting.
“Mawar, June 16, 1966,” Via reading the writing.
“What is the painter named Rose?” ask Via.
“Entah, it could also be that the Rose is the woman in this painting.”
“But ... Something is strange. I saw a woman in room 305, she was very similar to the woman in this painting.”
“Is he a guest of our hotel? Lest he be the model of this painting,” said Vishnu.
Via shook his head while staring at the painting. “ Not possible, from the year of this painting alone in 1966. If it still existed, the woman would have been my grandmother's age,” said Via.
“And what makes me wonder is that the woman is in an empty room. In the system only the room is still vacant status,” he continued.
“Ah ... Most also you see wrong,” said Vishnu.
Not long heard the boisterous sound of HT that Via brought.
“Housekeeping monitor! Floor 3 there are guests lying in the corridor.change.”
Via quickly ran towards the elevator, followed by Vishnu.
“Ronald. Ronald,” call Via using HT.
“Iya Bu,” heard the voice of Ronald.
“Which room guest?”
“304 Bu Via.”
“Ya I've been there.”
Sounded authentic from other room boy colleagues and will also approach the position of Ronald.
Via quickly helped lift the body of the fat woman and brought her into the room.
“Ronald this is actually what happened?” ask Via.
“I don't know, when I came out of the pantry suddenly this mother screamed hysterically and ran, but strangely this mother ran even hit the wall,” said Ronald.
“Father of her husband?” ask the white man.
“True Ma'am, I'm her husband. Last time I was still cleaning my suitcase, suddenly my wife came out and not long immediately shouted and fainted,” said the man.
Via also checked the state of the woman, seen her face bruised and nosebleed.
“It looks like we should take it to the hospital sir,” said Via.
The man agreed, and immediately called an ambulance. Incidentally the position of the hospital is not far from the hotel where Via works.
Not long after the ambulance arrived, they took the emergency bed into the elevator and went up to the 3rd floor.
It had made all the guests in the lobby area excited and there were also curious to enter the elevator.
The mother's body was moved to the emergency bed and brought down directly to the basement area.
In front of the ambulance basement elevator was ready to put the woman in the car.
Via and Ronald secure the suitcase belonging to the couple, before Via gave his phone number to the man if he needed help.
Wisnu and Via also took the initiative to go to the monitoring section, to see CCTV footage on the 3rd floor.
While in the monitoring section, they all saw clearly the woman walking and headed towards the end of the corridor.
He walked around like he was following someone, but on the tape there was no one but the woman.
In the 2nd minute suddenly the woman stopped and retreated slowly while staring up and immediately shouted then ran.
But there was a strange thing that Via saw, the woman was not running and hit the wall but ran and then her body crashed by itself into the wall like something was pushing her.
Everyone was silent at this incident, even one of the guards thought this was done by a subtle creature.
“Mana maybe ghosts can push humans,” said Vishnu chuckled.
“Could have actually tripped his own leg then hit a wall,”.
“Hopefully the woman is not severe,” Via said.
Via returned to his room, until the manager of the front office came to approach Via to his room.
“Excuse me,” said.
“Oh sign in Ardi,” says Via.
“I heard there were guests in the ambulance?” ask Ardi.
“Iya right sir, I have also checked CCTV when the incident only there was the woman in the corridor,” said Via.
“Loh ... Where is room boy?” saith.
“It just so happened that the task on the floor was Ronald, and Ronald before going upstairs had to give the file to me.”
“Befit make up room (clean room) always long,” chirpnya.
“Means Mr Ardi how?”
“Yah ... The room boy should be pressed so that the work is not catapulted, so that new guests can check-in directly in. No need to wait in the lobby.”
“If again low season rich gini they work fast, even before the time is finished,” Via trying to defend his staff.
Ardi smiled cynically, as if dismissive. Ardi stood up and walked towards the door.
“Oh yes, the ambulance officer passed the front right? All told OB to clean dirty because,” he said while going outdoors.
Via could only shake his head then snort in annoyance.
At that moment Via saw Fahrul, an OB who had just finished cleaning the 2nd floor area.
“Fahrul, did you clear the lobby area?” ask Via.
“Iya Bu Via already, Pak Ardi told me to clean,” said.
“This I just got from the lobby,”.
“Yes you haven't rested yet right? You rest first.”
“Good Bu.”
‘Actually the Ardi has a problem what the hell is with us, the feelings of my staff never make a fuss with children FO (front office).’ Via monologues while sitting in his chair.
At 16:45, a few minutes away from the shift change.
It looks like Reza has come and changed his clothes with the uniform that has been provided.
In this hotel, for uniform problems the employees do not need to bother to wash or iron because every day the uniforms that have been dirty will be collected in the linen for washing so that tomorrow the employees just take and wear.
