"Be careful, baby. I'll pick you up." Radit kissed my forehead, stopped in front of the office lobby.
"Yes, you're also heart-heart, yeah." The man immediately got back into the car, a little strange with Radit's attitude that was too romantic. He's never done this in public, but since I've worked here, Radit has been more aggressive.
"That!" Aron and Mike just got off the car parked in the parking lot of the front office. This morning was a little cooler than usual. Even I feel that the morning fog is still coming down, but the sun is also starting to appear.
"What about Giska?" ask me to those who run tergopoh - gopoh towards me.
Aron shrugged his shoulders, his face looking frustrated. Likewise on Mike's face even though he did not show it well. "There's no word yet, Tha. We are confused too. How, yes," said Aron.
We then went inside, passing the office lobby which was quite crowded with employees. These two men kept talking about Giska, all his habits up to his girlfriend Toni. Arriving at the elevator is quite full, we continue to push in order to enter and immediately go up to the fifth floor, soon will meet daily as usual. So we can't be late. I kept pushing back and realized that Rick was in the corner of the elevator. Played the phone, then smiled at me. I smile back too. I wanted to ask him about dinner yesterday, why he left instead of joining us, but I hesitated to say it in the midst of the crowds of people in the elevator.
The elevator was open on each floor, until the fifth floor we also went out of there. Continuing to walk into the meeting room, Aron and Mike walked in front of me, while Rick and I were behind them. The door opened, as I was about to enter, I immediately felt a very dizzy. I even held on to the door at the side. Rick looked anxious and kept asking if I was okay.
"I'm okay - what. I'll go to the toilet first, yeah. Wash your face" I said.
"okay." Finally I did not go into the meeting room and chose to go to the toilet first. Since waking up earlier, I feel my body is not so healthy. Limp and often feel sudden dizziness. Toilets are on each floor, and will usually be close to the pantry. I kept walking while holding my forehead, my head felt heavy for quite a long time. Hope not to fall and can improve after I wash my face.
I walked through the pantry, but I stopped when I felt something strange in the pantry. I took a step back and looked inside the pantry, which happened to be half the pantry door made of thick glass, so the activity inside I could see clearly from outside here.
There was a woman, wearing OB clothes, standing in front of the stove without doing anything. There was a knife in his hand, it made me anxious. Afraid that he would do something bad in there. I knocked on the door to get his attention. He kept quiet, making me even more curious. I finally opened the pantry door. The door seems to be locked from the inside. The more I tried to open it, the closer he got to picking up the knife. I hit the door so he could look at me, or at least stop what he was about to do. My mind has been staring away with bad thoughts that make me want to try to get inside quickly.
"Mba! Mba! Stop, Mba. No, Mba!" my screams are panicking. He took out a knife and quickly stuck it into his palm which was on the stove. I was aghast, silent with glaring eyes. Suddenly he turned to me, took the knife and took it out of his left hand, without the slightest pain. Realizing that what was in there must not be human, I retreated, not immediately running or leaving, I kept staring at him as if curious as to what he would do again.
His face was hideous, his veins clearly protruding out. Black with facial skin that is also dirty and dull. He grinned then ran quickly towards the door. I screamed as I closed my eyes, but after a long wait, I felt no one open the door or approach me. I finally opened my eyes and saw where the woman was. The office girl was nowhere. I approached back to the pantry door, looked inside from the glass door and found no one there. The door handle I turned, and miraculously it was very easy to open. I think I'm having a hallucination right now.
The creaking of the door rang out loud amid the empty pantry this morning. "Where is the other OB, yes," my inner. No longer wanting to take care of this, I again closed the door and continued the original goal. The toilet is only two meters away from the pantry, and it is located at the end of the corridor north of the fifth floor. Not yet at the toilet door, I stopped walking and looked back. Silent. There is no one, but I believe the situation in this hallway is like many other human activities. The sound of footsteps rang out faintly, even the impact of the high hells shoes and the floor below rang out loud in the ears. But why does it seem that along the hall there is no one else but me.
I took a deep, deep breath, and tried again not to understand what was happening in front of me. Back to the original plan, to go to the toilet. A toilet door is a type of two-door that can be pushed and pulled, there are no keys or anything there. The concept is just a door board in the middle, with the bottom and top clearly exposed, only covering half the door. But if the door is closed then people from the outside can not see the situation inside and vice versa, unless the door is opened. Even if the tiptoes will not be seen, except squatting, then the bottom is very easy to see.
I pushed open the door and hesitated to go inside. The toilet looks dark and quiet. The trauma of a place called the toilet is still recorded clearly remembered. I don't think I want to repeat the weird stuff in the toilet anymore. I decided to go back to the meeting room.
"That!" call a voice in a whisper. It felt like Rick's voice, but when I looked I didn't see him anywhere. Especially in this place there is no other room. There is only a wall. The more strange it felt, I finally returned to the meeting room while occasionally looking back.
Arriving in front of the meeting room, I looked back, the quiet fifth floor corridor was in stark contrast to the first time I came to this place yesterday. Even at the reception desk was empty. Ah, maybe he's got business elsewhere. Trying to think positively I immediately opened the door of the meeting room. Inside was crowded, everyone seemed to be busy with their work. Aron pulled out my hand to immediately sit on one of the chairs. Surprisingly I didn't see Miss Cleo and Sister Mecca.
"Boss to where?" I whispered to Aron.
"Not come. It's just us." My head still feels heavy, even more painful.
'Tha, why?" ask Aron. "Aretha!" his call made me dizzy. Even he kept shaking - shaking my body. My eyesight blurred, Mike's approaching shadow made my breathing even heavier. Until finally the meeting room door was opened violently. Rick came in from outside, swept a glance around then immediately approached me. He pulled my hand.
"Let's go, Aretha! Your place is not here!" he said he pulled my hand rough. My body was hollow, and only able to follow his movements. He kept taking me out of this room, and suddenly my body seemed to flinch. I inhaled as much air as I could, like almost drowning in a puddle of water, even I coughed.
"Drink first, Tha!" said Kak Mecca while thrusting a glass of water. I immediately accepted and gulped it down somewhat. "Pull your breath, Tha. Finally you're aware too." the voice was very clearly coming from Kak Mecca's mouth. I pressed my head while trying to look around. Rick stood beside Bu Cleo. Sister Mecca sat nearby with a worried face.
"What's the feeling, Aretha? It's a bit quiet, isn't it?" asked Bu Cleo worriedly. I nodded, still in a confused state. "Kok me here? Sshh ... My head hurts a lot," I cried while pressing on the head.
The door opened, Radit appeared in a hurry with Alya mba. "Tha? You why? Holy hooch! I'm so worried." Radit immediately approached and hugged me.
"Shm. Dit, slowly. Don't make a sudden move, my head still hurts."
"Eh, sorry, honey. Continue how? Want to take some medicine?"
"He must be hungry, Tha. You passed out for almost six hours" said Rick, still standing, folding both hands in front.
"Where's Aaron Mike?" ask me while looking for their presence around this room. She turned her back and turned to Rick and Bu Cleo. "Why?" many of me who saw their reaction were like very surprised.
"Why do you know that name?" ask Sister Mecca. Radit who was squatting next to me was also confused to see this situation.
"Well, what about Mecca? Did I meet you earlier, they're our coworkers, right? Same with Giska. Jesus, Dit, Giska hasn't met. Where's she gone, huh?"
"What's? The giska? Who is Giska, honey?" radit asked and this time I was surprised.
"Who are you, Giska is my coworker. Yesterday night we had dinner together, you also picked me up at the restaurant, also acquaintances with Giska, Aron, and Mike. Time lup?!"
"Honey .. You just work here today," explained Radit slowly. "Mba Alya just until the office keeps calling me, send anterin here again."
"What's? No way! Obviously - obviously I ... they ...." My head got dizzy, I covered my face and started to digest what was really going on. I doubt where it is now. I can't tell which imaginations and imaginations, or which humans, which ghosts.
"Tha, since when have you seen Aron, Mike and Giska?" ask Rick seriously.
I kept quiet, trying to recall the event. Until I finally told you about the first time I came here and saw Rick and Aron in the elevator. They seem to be talking to each other. Then get into the study and get acquainted with Giska and Mike. Until we ate at the restaurant after work.
Rick's thumping. "Gini, you're stuck in another dimension, their world. I'm sure, you're not an indiscriminate person because you've come this far to interact with them. Because they usually only show themselves. "
"I mean, they .. ghosts?" my question is to slow down the sound. Rick nodded. My body felt limp, as if I couldn't believe what Rick was saying. It just feels awkward, everyone. Even up to Radit who was acting so sweet earlier. Radit is romantic, but if you're alone with me. He was most anti-show our relationship to the public. Even just to kiss my forehead, she doesn't dare in public right now.
"But they ...."
"They're indeed employees in this office, Tha, it's been a long time. But there was one event that made them die together. Indeed this often happens, but all just a glimpse of their existence. Rarely has anyone interacted during and so far other than you."
"What happened to them?" ask Radit, curious.
"They were in an accident when they got home from work. It was only 2 years ago, but they still like to hang around here."
"And what you saw in that elevator, it was me, Tha, but not with Aron but with Haikal. He's an upstairs kid who has a project to do with me. But the me you see in the world is the real me. Honestly, it's hard to warn you about them. Every time I get close to you, they threaten me. So I have to find the right time to pull you back here, because it's also dangerous if you're there too long. You're afraid you can't come back" Rick explained.
"Yes already. Now you know the truth, so from now on it has to be more careful, yes." Radit stroked his back gently.
"God! Sorry, yes," I said, covering my face, either because of shame, confusion, and annoyance.
"It's okay - what. The important thing is that you're conscious, Tha."
'Maybe we should do another study or what, Rick?" asked Bu Cleo for an opinion.
"Well, it looks like it, Mom."
"Yes, you set it. It's time we go home, I'm sorry." Ms. Cleo said goodbye and walked out of this room. Sister Mecca stroked my hand and nodded. " You go home too, yeah. Rest."
"Yes, Brother."
Mba Alya looked at me pityingly, then hugged me. We finally came home, because it was almost dark, and I just fainted all day.
