Am I Different?

Am I Different?
Old hotel


Mother still stroking my head, she tried to calm me down.


"It's not necessary to think, now we watch television, yes, Dek," said Mother.


"Yes, Mom," I replied.


Mom and I were just in the room, so we used room service.


****


The day changes from morning to noon. We can only wait for my father to come to our room. Intentionally do not want to go anywhere afraid of the events of this morning repeated.


Wh-tok-tok!


There was a knocking on the door.


"It's Dad, Mom," said a voice from outside.


Mom opened the door immediately. When Dad came in, he saw his face panicked.


"Just get the stuff done, before night we have to get out of here" Dad said.


"Why, Dad?" my many.


Unlike her mother, she asked nothing. He was just following orders from my father.


"Let's explain, at this time we have to move soon," said Dad again.


We do not need to arrange the goods anymore, because our luggage has been arranged since we entered here.


In a hurry, my mother took me with her, while my father carried our luggage. Mom and I just walked behind me.


We started to enter the elevator and at this time my heart thump became more and more erratic. Esther was in this elevator.


The elevator starts from floor to floor to ground floor. The feeling of relief I felt when we were able to escape from that fourth floor. Mom and I were in the lobby of this hotel, waiting for my dad to check out.


After he finished, he approached us.


"Come, Mom," Dad asked.


"Where do we want to live, Dad?" ask Mother.


"We stayed in the right hotel next to Dad's office only" said Dad.


We boarded an online taxi that from the beginning had driven my father to this hotel.


"What's up, Dad?" ask Mother.


"Mother and Keyla have experienced something strange while inside the hotel?" The father asked.


Dad looked at me, I just nodded my head. The distance between the previous hotel and the hotel next to the father's office is quite close.


We arrived too, father seemed to have deliberately not answered my question while in the taxi. He immediately paid the taxi fare.


Before we got off, the taxi driver said something to us.


"Mending stay here, sir. After there was a murder incident at that time, the hotel that was the family of the Father occupied many rumors that said that there were many disturbances there," said the driver.


"Good, Sir. Thank you," replied Dad.


We got off this taxi. We set foot inside the hotel building at this time. We're waiting for dad again who's being cheked in.


Dad came to us.


"We got a room on the first floor Kok Bu, take it easy," said Dad while taking us to the room.


Indeed, this hotel building is not as grand as the previous hotel. The hotel only has four floors, but here it looks more crowded.


When we get to the room, we'll be in. Bed in this hotel there is one, but the room is quite spacious.


After I put the luggage down, I took us to sit on the sofa.


"Here, I'm with Dedek" said Dad.


We both just obeyed my father's orders. We sat three while waiting for room service to come and bring our order.


"What, Dad?" my many.


"Many," I replied spontaneously.


"Dad wants to tell the two of you, why I was in such a hurry to get you guys to move," said Dad.


"Why?" sahut Mother.

Dad started to tell me, when we were asleep there was a knock on the door in our room. At first I thought it was room service, but when I opened the door I saw no one there.


I just think there's a prankster against us. There was another knock on the door for the second time. I still want to open the door.


Again, he did not meet anyone there. When, the third time the sound of the knocking was heard, I ignored him.


Dad let the door be knocked, because he said he did not want to bully people whose purpose was idle.


That night I fell asleep.

The next day, he woke up to fulfill his duty. After finishing the prayer, he was getting ready to leave for work because there was a meeting this morning.


I guess my dad experienced the same thing as me. When riding the elevator, the door was also open on the fourth floor. But luckily I didn't experience anything strange there.


Upon arrival at the office, the meeting was immediately held. Since the client of the working father's company is from a foreign citizen, the client pursues time to return to his country. So we had a meeting in the morning.


Father said, the completion of the meeting as usual the employees exchanged greetings.


"Hi, Dim. How was the holiday in Malang?" ask Daddy's friend.


Want to mention, my father's name Dimas Handoko is usually called Dimas.


"Alhamdulillah, good bye bro. If not for this sudden meeting maybe I have not come back here," replied Dad.


"Lha keep your son and wife home first?" ask your friend again.


"No. They're coming here, right now at that five-star hotel" my father replied.


The father's friend who heard the reply from the father was shocked.


"You haven't heard rumors of a murder there?" ask your friend again.


"Not yet, time anyway? I really just heard from you," said Dad.


"Say there's still a psychopath still there. One of them was caught in the murder of a family a few days ago" a friend said.


"Say they knocked on the door of the room of the victims three times, if the room was opened to the third time, then at that time the victim would be eliminated," say my friend again.


"Oh my God, what about my family?" ask Dad anxiously.


Father said his friend told him that one of them was caught on the fourth floor, and one of them was unknown.


He said again, they deliberately booked several rooms there using the nick names of some of the victims they had eliminated. So that the next victims can book a room closer to the room of one of them.


Father also told me his patience, if he also heard the knocking of the door. But I only opened the door when I knocked twice.


Father said, the psycho launched his action when night fell. So when my father heard the story from his friend, he immediately picked us up to get out of there quickly.


Maybe the hotel wants to keep the hotel crowded by giving reasons to guests, if the fourth floor is being renovated.


__________


The three of us also unceasingly expressed gratitude for still being given the same protection of the Almighty.


"My mom and I had a disturbance on the fourth floor, Dad" I said.


"Yes, Dad. We entered another dimension, so that when we tried to climb the stairs just circling on the floor," said Mother.


"Did the murder victim actually ask for help to uncover the mystery, in order to catch the other perpetrator?" I can only guess.


Mom and Dad looked at each other when they heard me. Then they simultaneously shook their heads as well.


Seriate....
