I occupied my new boarding room in the area around the city near my campus. The cost of the conversation is a little expensive, of course, because it is close to the campus. The room is comfortable for students like me. The room was in soft green paint. The room is 3x3 square meters. There is one bed with pillows and bolsters, one plastic cabinet, a set of study tables, and also of course there is a bathroom.
I immediately arranged my clothes, my equipment, put the sheets for the bed, put my books on the study table shelf. After I finished I took a short break while opening my laptop and turning on my favorite music. Not long after that I fell asleep. Shortly after I fell asleep I saw someone walking into my room to the bathroom. I didn't see his face. He was wearing a red shirt. His skin is so white. When I woke up, I went to the bathroom to see the guy.
“Hey who's inside?” I said a little scream
There's no answer.
“Heii!! Who's inside?” I said a little angry that someone was without permission to enter my room.
No more answers. This time the sound of a tap was on
“I'll break this door down! If you don't answer” I said while trying to open the locked door
This time I'm really going to break down this door. Whether it's a man or a woman, I don't care. Business later scolded the boarding house for damaging the bathroom door was stupid. I'm already feeling pissed off right now. And, BRAAKKK! The bathroom door opened. But strangely, there was no one inside. Where did the guy go? There is no way out here other than this door. Was I wrong with my view? Ah, not wrong. The taps also lit up like they were worn out by someone. Then who was that guy? Where did that guy go? For a moment the wind gently swept my hair until I stood up. I feel scared. What the hell is going on here?

“Eh mbak see people enter here ga? Pake barju all red. His skin is very white” Tanyaku on the occupants of other boarding rooms
“Engga. All of them were on a nap. No one goes out of the room or walks around here let alone enter your room”
“Haah? Really mbak?” fear began to envelop me
“Iya really is. It was just the three of us outside. We're not dumb anymore. What the hell is it?”
“Ngga nothing kok mbak” said I was now really scared
***
I sipped my hot coffee, trying to forget about it. I decided on Ruri, my best friend to come with me now.
“Dit, you why are you so moody?” Ask Ruri
“Gue wants to tell me something ma lo” said as I sat on the bed
“Lo want what story?” answer Ruri
Then I told him all the events. When finalized. Ruri's face looked like she was thinking of something. Then he laughed lightly and pinched my cheek.
“Haha. Dita, dita! Lo it was-there was. Maybe you are tired again so rich gini” said ruri
“ah, but the train is really on fire, kayak is used up in” I replied who did not agree with Ruri's opinion
“Udah is dit. Just calm down. There is a demon in broad” daylight
I smiled wryly. Ruri's words have a point. I feel a little more calm and relieved. After that Ruri and I decided to take a walk downtown. It really made me forget what happened at that boarding house.
At night, my body felt tired. I took a shower to refresh my body. Then I turned on my laptop for a bit and sent my brother an e-mail. Ask him the news there. Tired, I decided to go to sleep. I locked my door so no one would come in. I left the window open in my room, 'cause the night air was a little hot.
That night it happened again. Between still dreaming or having woken up I saw the person dressed in red enter my bathroom. And the difference is now that the man is covered in blood. I'm scared so scared. I dare not open my eyes. I decided to stay closed while praying.
***
In the morning I was going to ask this to my mother. I can't stand all this. My fear cannot be hidden. Or if need be I'll move better. Far from a scary impression.
I also wondered where the person dressed all in red yesterday came from. Have I locked the door? Time through the window? obviously not possible, because it will not be enough if passed by people. Or maybe he is not a person but..? my fear is growing
I rushed to where mom was. Once there I was greeted kindly by the boarding mother.
“What's in, you want to pay kos?” kos mother said a little jokingly
“Bu, I want to tell you something” I said seriously
“What story? If it's about stupid things mommy doesn't have time. You see mom's busy?”
“Okay what do you want to tell me?”
I then recounted all the creepy events I had yesterday. When finalized. Mom's face changed. His voice shows seriousness. Unlike I thought, he would laugh.
“Maybe what you see is Alessana” said Ibu kos
“Who is Alessana?”
Mom kos breathed a long breath.
“8 years ago alessana died in these boarding houses allegedly she committed suicide due to depression because of the death of her lover. He's a beautiful boy. He hurt himself with a knife. He's had heavy bleeding. Until he was found dead in the bathroom. Until now the person who occupied the room was always shown the figure of alessana was walking in the bathroom. Until not 2 days occupying the room the person who occupies has lifted foot from the room. Can't stand. There was also someone who was shown the figure of Alessa covered in blood and creepy.”.
After the boarding house finished telling me I was really shocked at once in shock. I promise I'll move in the next morning. I can't stand it anymore.

That night I was still sleeping in that room. I can't close my eyes considering the incident. The clock is showing at 11pm. It was quiet outside. Maybe the other host has fallen asleep. The cold suddenly attacked me. The breeze from the window made me shiver. I closed the window and pulled my blanket to keep me warm. I tried to close my eyes.
But, strange. Why the atmosphere here has changed. Suddenly a wind blew behind my neck. Makes me creep. Suddenly the lights went off. The atmosphere was dark and I was alone. I clasped my blanket tighter. I dare not move.
“PYAARR!!” suddenly something fell. Sounds surprised me. Then there was the sound of feet. “Tap..Taps..Tap” the sound seemed to be getting closer to me. I can't see who it is because it's really dark. My heart is really beating so fast. My sweat was flowing all around my body. I began to recite prayers allowing unpleasant events to happen later. Someone's climbing my feet. Like a heavy burden. I dare not move my feet. I felt a hand caressing my leg. The surface of his skin was smooth I could feel it.
Suddenly the lights came on. I saw a woman staring blankly at me. His mouth was covered in blood. His eyes look like they are crying. The woman walked closer and closer towards me. My body feels frozen. I wanted to scream but no sound came out.
“Do not takuut...” The woman said softly
“I won't hurt you.”
“I'm Alessana, I just want to send you a message. Help me, I'm trapped here. Free me, so that my life may be quiet there. Burn a necklace near the closet. Necklace pendant letter ‘A’. nobody knows. Sepi, kotor. please akuu... I beg.” the figure suddenly slowly disappeared. And now all that looks is dark. I was so shocked.
***
I was unconscious, and I knew I was in the morning. Apparently I fainted last night. My life doesn't feel like it's all collected yet. I'm still confused. My body feels tired. I woke up to see what time it was. The clock is at 10! This time, I was really bad luck. I covered my face with both hands. I asked myself. “Yeah god.. What happened to me? Why is all this happening?” I took a long breath.
Then I thought about what happened last night. The woman I saw last night was Alessana. The woman talked about her life. He is trapped in the real world. He wants me to set him free. And he also talked about necklaces.he told me to look for necklaces and then burn them. I wondered. What's with the necklace? Why would he want me to burn him to make his life free? Ahh, but I don't care. The most important thing now was to look for him so that he and also calm his life. He will free his life to nature. And me? Of course, so that my life is not disturbed by these subtle creatures anymore.
***
I've been looking for the necklace for hours that Alessana meant. The wardrobe has been searched.I took it all out. I was looking around the closet and there was nothing. I'm rattled. Which closet is called Alessana? It's hard to find him. I thought about Alessana's message again. “...Burn the necklace near the closet. Necklace pendant letter ‘A’. nobody knows. Sepi, kotor. please akuu... I beg.”. The necklace is near the closet. Pendant letter ‘A’. quiet and dirty. Suddenly something came to my mind. I think I've found the answer. Is it possible right? My heart is beating fast.
***
I've reached the warehouse at the boarding house. May my hunch be right. I'm looking for what Alessana means. I started working around the barn. Lots of dust and very dirty. I started coughing. As I was opening some worn-out stools there were rats passing through my legs. I screamed. How disgusting this place is. Has this place never been touched by humans? Absolutely disgusting. A moment after that I saw a big cupboard, brown and old. The wood is rotten at the meal of termites. My gut told me to get close to that closet. I immediately searched the closet. But I didn't find anything. There are only old papers. Suddenly a ball fell and rolled down the closet. I bent down to take it. But when I got to the bottom, I no longer paid attention to the ball. My attention was drawn to the box of chocolate that looked clean. I picked it up. My feeling is that this is the answer. My heart is beating fast.
I opened the box slowly. Inside is a letter. I read the letter which is..
“To : Alessana whom I love
From : Your lover
Alessana I really miss you. On your 17th birthday I'm sorry I couldn't come to your place. I can only give you this necklace. My leukemia has reached the acute stage. I can't walk anymore. My body feels helpless again. Sorry if I let you down. I think this is the last of me. Akuu...uu menginttaiymuu..”
At the end of the word it appears that the writing has turned out to be unfounded. I described that Alessana's lover while writing the last word that her illness recurred. Difficulty in writing. So that's the answer. Alessana was not free because of the letter and necklace given by her lover. In the box there is a small box again dark blue. Iopenit. There is a necklace with letters ‘A’ silver and shiny. Really pretty.
But I need to burn it. I quickly smeared the necklace with kerosene. Burned it.
***
After 3 weeks, my life was calm. No more interference from the subtle-bodies. I've forgotten that incident. Alessana may have calmed down. But one night while I was asleep, I woke up again. I saw the shadow of Alessana smiling towards me. He looked like he was telling me something.
“Thank you..See you.” he said
Alessana waved her hand along with it the shadow of Alessana disappeared. I know Alessana's really calm right now
