The Return of the Red Dress

The Return of the Red Dress
Roses in paintings



Via sat in front of his desk while twitching his two eyebrows, he unceasingly sighed.


Sometimes he threw the ballpoint pen on his desk at the wall.


Via felt anxious and upset over the incident at the hotel where he worked.


‘Why should I go there anyway! Bego!’ Via monologue while kicking his feet towards the mattress.


Via was upset that only he was being questioned by the police, as if he was the cause of all this.


Via consulted with Vishnu through a short message, Vishnu himself was outside the city to take care of his other business.


“Visnu have slept?” write Via in message.


Long enough Via wait and finally Wisnu account visible online.


“Not yet, just returned from the office. Why then?” ask Vishnu.


“There's bad news.”


“What's bad? Bad or bad usual?” vishnu reply.


“Not this time bad special wear telor!” reply Via by adding upset emojis.


“Ha-ha-ha. Sorry to joke, what's wrong?”


“Care building someone dies, in the area that should be built.”


“Hah? You serious?”


Not yet had time to type a message on his phone suddenly Vishnu immediately called him.


“Halo Vishnu.”


“Via is serious?” vishnu.


“Ngapain also I dress up with a rich problem gini.”


“Duh! Could be complicated this is his business. Reting our hotel the longer it will go down,” he said.


“Tomorrow I will be interrogated again with them, and crazy why should I go when Adim is also there.”


“Whose regime?”


“That's the bell boy who used to day shift,” said Via.


“Gini aja, the day after I will return. And tomorrow I ask Lucas to make you,” he said.


“Yes, I just want to tell you that.”


“Ya. You just rest first let your mind fresh,” said Vishnu.


Via hung up the phone and threw himself on the bed.

In the morning, while at the dinner table Via asked something strange to Ayu and also Dimas.


“Bun, Via want to ask inanimate objects can be alive anyway?” ask Via.


“What do you mean?” ask Diman.


“Yes ... There's a thing but he's like he's got a life.”


“There is no such thing Via, a drop spent his bread,” said Ayu.


When Via left the house, Ayu began discussing the matter with her husband Dimas.


“Mas why can Via ask like that huh?” ask Ayu.


“Entah darling, hopefully not the thing we used to have,” said Dimas.


“No way Mas, the painting will be at Damar's house.”


“We pray that Via is always kept away from such magical things. Enough of us I experienced it, do not let our children also experience it,” said Dimas.


“If that happens I am the first person who will fight the creature Mas even though my life is at stake,” said Ayu.


“Have ... Don't be emotional, honey. That's not going to happen.”


On the other hand Via has arrived at the hotel and is doing a morning break.


When breafing one of the room boys who will go home after shift 3 tells if they experience strange events.


“Bu, last night there were guests who called through order taker,” he said.


“She asked for her room to be cleaned, but ... When I checked the system it turned out that the status of the room was vacant,”.


“Chick voice?” ask Via.


“Iya, how do I know?”


“Perhaps there is a fad,” said Via spontaneous.


The other staff just giggled and laughed at him, actually all the staff at this hotel are familiar with things that do not make sense like this especially when they get shift 3 which is working from 10 pm to 7 am.


Each department has its own rules for its employees.


And Via makes the rules if female employees can only work the morning shift or shift 1, then shifts 2 and 3 will be dominated by male employees.


But the rule does not apply to Via, because Via can sometimes go home until late at night until the work is done.


After that, all the staff disperse and head to their respective places. 


At 09:20, the police began to break through the door of the housekeeping housekeeping Via itself was ready with various questions that would be presented to him.


“Good morning Bi Via,” said one of the police officers.


“Ya good morning, please sit.”


“We want to inquire about the death of a construction worker yesterday.”


“Oh yes of course I am ready to give testimony,” said Via.


Via was asked several questions, and when answering the police did not see any suspicious elements, when they finished interrogating Via they also said goodbye and will continue the examination process.


At that time Via Sangan was curious about the painting on the 2nd floor, with a sharp Via to the elevator and up to the 2nd floor.


When he reached the 2nd floor Via approached the painting and looked at it for a moment.


“What is all this because of the woman in this painting?” he said while looking at the picture of the woman in the red dress.


Via tried to feel the painting carefully feel the paint scratches on the canvas.


When Via touched the part of the rose, suddenly his index finger seemed to be pierced by something.


Spontaneous Via pulled his hand, looking red but unharmed.
