NOT PERPETRATORS
The Similar Face

THE WARNING!

Author Kekeh tucked a bit of horror and gore scenes in this episode. Please stay calm. Ha-ha!

I thanked Mr. Wibowo, then got out of the car.

"Mama!" exclaiming Arka who ran up to me while holding ice cream.

I bent my body to hold her. Then kiss her cheek with a pinch.

"Tumben, it's home" said Fania who approached me.

"Yes, my job is done."

"That's, who else drove you?"

I see Mr. Wibowo's car has not moved from the place. Fania approached the car. He brought his head closer to the car.

"Fania!" my sergeant.

"At least .. I was just curious. Don't you have a new boyfriend" Fania said.

When Fania was busy looking at the dark car glass, suddenly the car glass came down. Slowly the face of Mr. Wibowo who noticed Fania with wonder.

"Hi, Om?" greet Fania with ease. "You want some ice cream?" asked Fania while thrusting the ice cream in her hand into the car.

Mr. Wibowo showed a different expression while watching Fania. He just shook his head, without saying a word.

"No, yes, I did!" Fania pulled her hand out again, then licked the ice cream.

"Fania! Come, in!" Kuseret arm Fania to bring it into the house.

We entered and when I was closing the gate, I looked at the car, Mr. Wibowo still looked in wonder at us. Strange, why did Mr Wibowo notice us like that? And why hasn't he left yet?

***

At eight o'clock in the night, my house bell rang. I was putting Arka to bed on the couch, so, Fania opened the door.

Not long after, Fania came back to me with Rudi trailing behind her. They also sat on the sofa.

"Hi, Rud. I thought you were just kidding me this afternoon. It turns out that you really came" I said with a smile.

"I always keep my word, Imania" said Rudi. "Arka's asleep?" tanyanya saw Arka on my lap.

I nodded, then raised Arka's body, moved her to the room. After that, I headed to the kitchen to make coffee for Rudi. Then go back up and put the coffee in front of Rudi.

"No need to bother, Imania."

"It doesn't bother at all, really, Rud."

"I have the latest horror movie tapes. How about we watch this, Imania," Rudi said as he showed the tape he was carrying.

"Rud, I don't really dare watch horror movies."

"Just calm down, right, there is me" said Rudi as he raised both eyebrows.

"Ah, Imania! Scary scoundrel!" ledek Fania to me.

"Are you brave?" my many.

"Dare, donk? Fania that, loh! Not afraid of the devil!" said Fania confidently.

"So, we'll watch together?" ask Rudi.

"Come, let's watch it together!" exclaim Fania spirit, then take the cassette from Rudi's hand. Fania immediately tuned the tape to the DVD player.

Rudi suddenly moved and sat down next to me. I looked at him in wonder too.

"I'm with you. So ... You don't have to be afraid," said Rudi with a smile.

After tuning it, Fania turned off the lights and sat down next to Rudi. We sat together on the sofa.

The tape started to twist. There was a title on the television screen, 'Grandmother Keramas' and a director's name, 'Thamie AK'. There was a silhouette of a scary face on the television screen. Just looking at it, I was already horrified.

Rudi sat between me and Fania. We also started watching. As they watched, I closed my eyes. Because I really don't like horror movies. I just respect Rudi who wants to watch together.

In the dark, I felt Rudi's hand clutching my finger tightly. He whispered, "Open your eyes, I'm here. Don't fear!"

I slowly opened my eyes. There was a scene of a handsome man walking towards the bathroom, then heard the splashing sound of the shower in the bathroom. The man stopped and eavesdropped on the door.

"Who's inside?" asked the handsome man from outside the bathroom.

"Cu, Grandma's soap, donk?"

The athletic man heard a voice from inside. Out of curiosity, the bathroom door opened. And ... the man's eyes widened in shock at the sight of a bloody-faced grandmother, with red eyes, bathing under the shower, naked as a strand.

Just as the man was about to run, suddenly the man's legs were dragged by the ghost of the bloody-faced grandmother until it slammed into the bathroom. The man also shouted.

"Please ...! Please ...!"

When the man tried to get up, the horrible grandmother suddenly grabbed the man's head and twisted it until it broke, until fresh blood poured out onto the bathroom floor.

"Gurgh!!"

Fania suddenly shouted out loudly, and it shocked me. Fania immediately hugged Rudi very tightly. Fania's feet also went up to Rudi's lap. His position was like a little boy rising into his father's lap.

The one who was scared, suddenly felt funny. Basics, Fania!

In the next scene, it appears that the shampooing grandmother slaughtered her prey back at the hotel. A frightened man in the bathroom saw the blood-stained face bathing under the shower. The shampooing grandmother's ghost poked both of the man's eyes with her long nails, then devoured them. Fresh blood on the bathroom floor.

"Gurgh!!"

Fania yelled again and climbed into Rudi's lap while hugging him tightly.

"Hey! Release!"

After half an hour of watching, Rudi stepped up and took out the cassette from the DVD player. He looked upset that Fania kept screaming deafeningly and kept going up to Rudi's lap while hugging him when frightened.

"Why turned off? It's exciting!" fania.

"Seru what, you turned the atmosphere into a terrible one. You're more horror than that damned granny ghost!" rudi said with an annoyed face.

I just smiled as I shook my head to see Fania's behavior.

Rudi turned the lights back on. "Next time, we'll watch it together, Imania."

In the end, we didn't watch a horror movie. We just had a normal chat while joking. At ten, Rudi bailed to go home.

***

The next morning, I went to the office to be picked up by Rudi. Arriving at the office, I met the secretary Ve at the entrance of the office. It seems like he just arrived too.

"Morning, Brother Ve," I said.

"Morning, Imania. Who were you taking?"

"Ah, that's my friend."

"Let's go to my room."

I also tailed behind the secretary Ve. Arriving in his room, I sat opposite him.

"What's up, Brother Ve," I asked directly.

"How was yesterday's trip with Mr. Wibowo?"

"Slightly bad," I regret.

"Why?"

I also told him everything about yesterday, when I met the CEO of Space Mart. I told him everything from my nervousness about traveling with him, then about my smooth presentation of the cooperation plan, to the cancellation of the cooperation due to the abuse Antonio had done to me.

Instead of being sad or disappointed, Ve's secretary laughed. I became confused. What's so funny about my story?

"Imania, it looks like I sent you there wrong" he said with laughter.

I looked at him not understanding.

"We expect that the cooperation will be void. That's why we sent you. But you were so good at delivering presentations. Ha-ha!"

"What does all this mean?" many wonder.

"Actually, Mr. Wibowo has been quite furious with Antonio. Didn't you pay attention to the cooperation agreement they made? They want one-sided profits. At first, they made a fair deal. But the more here, they want more profit without taking into account the loss of our side. Don't you understand that?"

I understand. "Oh .. So that's why you asked me to replace you? For all to fail? I thought it was my abuse that made Mr. Wibowo angry."

I don't know why there's a little disappointment. I'm really confident that Mr. Wibowo defended me yesterday. Apparently, there are other reasons related to the cancellation of the cooperation.

"Thank God, if it's completely void. So, we're not impressed to lick our own spit. Because initially, our side asked in advance for cooperation with Space Mart," said Ve secretary.

I'm still a little disappointed. I had so much hope, that Mr. Wibowo put a little care for me. While I was pensive, the secretary Ve moved out of his chair.

"I'll call Rangga for a moment. You wait here. I still want to talk."

When the secretary Ve came out. I again remembered the KTP secretary Ve when young. The mature novel is still on the table. I opened it too. And ... The ID card still exists. I got it back.

I don't know why .. like something was stirring my soul about the photo. I went back to watching him. Besides being similar to the photo behind that frame, this ... is also similar to a person's face. But who?

I closed my eyes to remember something. And after the shadow of someone managed to appear, my eyes opened wide.

"Fania!" muttered.

Is this a coincidence? The face of Ve's secretary when young, at first glance similar to Fania. Oh my God .. Is this just a coincidence?

Chequek!

That door is open. The secretary Ve entered with Rangga who was tailing behind him. When the secretary Ve saw something in my hand, he looked so shocked. Just as surprised as I was staring at him.
