[Good night, with the recessionists there can be helped.] Selly, who was the receptionist of the hotel lobby, picked up the phone from room 713.
[Lamp off.] Hotel guests said it briefly.
[Okay ma'am, we're going there.] Selly answered, then the phone was turned off.
“Who's Cell?” The hotel supervisor asked.
“Room number 713 dead lights, most cards separated from the peyangga, send technician dateng to it yes Mr.”
“No, no need.”
“How come Mr Ted?” The supervisor planted Teddy.
“Yes, no need, later if there is a call from the room again, you love me yes.”
“Iya Mr. Ted, so it's okay yes we do not send a tekhinisi. Sure ya?”
“Ya Cell, you have rested first, this is your break.” Now at 8 pm, actually the break time for shift two is 7 pm, because the work entry time is from three pm to 12 pm. But because of a lot of work, the break time so backwards.
Sally breaks in employee-only hotel pantry, the pantry is not too big, consisting of only one large dining table and several benches. This pantry is specifically for employees to eat because it is located near the lobby where Selly works.
In addition to Selly there are some more people who turned out to rest late as well, some eat, some pray, some are just chatting. Selly joined the crowd who were busy chatting. There are two women and three men, they consist of waitresses, housekeepers and technicians.
“Gue confused deh.” Selly suddenly said in the middle of their chat, the others suddenly became curious.
“Why?” One of the women who worked as a housekeeper asked.
“So there was a call from room 713, he said it was off the lights. I promise the technology will come, but if I ask permission from Mr. Teddy is not given, he said justin he only handiin, I keep resting deh. I was thinking, if he really needs how?” Selly remembered the incident before she took a break.
“Sel, how long have you been working?” Ask the housekeeper again seriously.
“Six months.” Selly is new to this hotel, but the work experience as a hotel receptionist is quite a lot, he is also good at getting along, so everyone can get close to him quickly.
“For six months this new first time room 713 your phone huh?”
“Iya, why?” Selly asked.
“Udah check room status?” The housekeeper asked.
“Ya must be occupied, the person she called from the phone in the room was kok.” Selly felt considered junior so did not understand hospitality SOP.
“After this, out of rest, you check again in the system yes, it's room occupied or empty.” Housekeeper and the others just said like that, after Selly did not discuss anymore, he felt very strange, what this senior tried to teach him, whatever, whatever, Selly and the others eventually returned to their workplace again.
Mr. Teddy's still at the reception desk, he's all alone.
“Pak, want to change breaks?” Selly offered him a break, even though the break was over, but it was a general secret that the boss could sleep during work hours, especially this position was already night, rarely anyone checked.
“Ya Cell, I rest in the first at the office yes, if there's anything you call me, it's Supri in front of your nemenin ya.” Teddy means security hotel whose position is sitting in front of the hotel.
“Iya Pak.” Selly smiled and saw Teddy's departure from the lobby.
If the hotel atmosphere was quiet at night, now it is nine, the hotel restaurant is also preparing to close, waiting for one or two guests who are still finishing their meals.
Selly suddenly remembered the words of the housekeeper earlier, he said he had to check in the system about the status of the room.
Selly endnay moved to the computer screen located in the middle of the table, this is indeed a three-star hotel, work support equipment is not too much, so in the lobby there is only one computer that accesses the hotel system.
Selly opened the system and looked at the status of that 713 room, when she had already seen its status, she fell silent.
“Kok, empty, status empty.” Selly began pounding, he called the housekeeper who asked him if he had checked the status of the room on the system.
[Msir! room's empty!] Selly could not hold her voice, enough to be heard until the security guard finally approached Selly.
[I've said, next time, if you want to pick up the phone, check first yes, it's what status room, don't play original lift, let alone fit you in shifts two and three, please, must be more vigilant.]
[What's the reason?]
[Udah first yes Sel, I want to work first, you ama security right?]
[Yes, Mr. Supri here.]
[Yaudah, don't think of the nonchalant, keep your focus on work yes.] Then the housekeeper hung up the phone, he continued the work.
“Why Ma'am Selly, just yelled? Until my surprise.” Securty named Supri asked.
“This sir, mmm, earlier before I break room 713 phone, he said turn off the lights, but said Mr. Teddy did not need to be sent to the technician there, then I rest. Just after the break I checked again, it turned out that the room .. empty!” Selly goosebumps.
“Oh 713, yes indeed the room is a fad.”
“Hah? prank room? Meaning?”
“Mbak Selly has never worked in a hotel, time does not know such things, it has become a public secret.”
“What does that mean ... ghost?” Selly ventured to call it even in a whisper.
“Iya, moreover? Where maybe a fellow employee pranks, it's too much.” Security looked calm, but Selly was terrified.
“I previously worked at the hotel as well Sir, there is indeed a story so, but not to the frontal just now, calling and also saying something, it means I was talking the same ..”.
“huss! Udah do not follow ya Mbak, now Mbak just watch here, if there is anything call me alone, I am in front.”
“Pak, here aja.”
“Lah, my workplace in front of the door of the Mbak lobby, later if Mr. Teddy knows I can get scolded. Why emang? Scared huh?” Mr. Supri asked in a mocking tone.
“Iya Sir, I'm afraid.” Selly pleaded.
“Ntar is also common, just relax.” Mr. Supri finally came back to the front.
For some reason since knowing room 713, the lobby that had not felt big, became very big and tonight felt very quiet than usual, even the wall clock ticked faster until the sound of his seconds sounded in the ears. It made Selly even more afraid, she stood up and looked in all directions, deserted. Of course, it's already night.
Time passed, the clock showed eleven o'clock at night, one hour more, the shift was always over, usually she was picked up by her husband when she came home at twelve o'clock.
It's an hour away, but this is why it feels so long. Selly from earlier only focused on looking at the security who looked sleepy on his stool. Selly wonder, why security can remain calm even though this night is so quiet. Is it because this is the first night Selly was bullied, while others have been bullied so often?
In the middle of waiting for the hour home, suddenly the elevator rang, a sign that someone was coming down and was about to go out to the lobby, eleven o'clock at night. Sally relieved, it must be a housekeeper or other employees, because at this hour where anyone wants to go to the lobby, for what? it's night.
Sally smiled, at least she could invite the housekeeper to talk while waiting for work.
The elevator opened, Selly stood up and was about to greet her co-worker, but, she was disappointed, not the housekeeper who came out of the elevator, but a woman, a guest turned out, there must be a need that made her have to go down.
“There can be helped?” Selly greeted as usual.
“Can you ask for help?” Ask the woman.
“Yes, can I help you?” Selly repeated.
“Dead lamp” Selly back off, somehow heard that he felt his voice was very similar to that of the one who called from that 713 room, “room 713.” The guest spoke again, telling her room number.
Sally further back, she could not turn her face away, her body stiff as time stopped.
While the lady guest who had looked very beautiful and graceful turned pale, she smiled, her smile was very wide, the longer her face got closer, but strangely, her body still remained there. But her face .. No, her neck was getting longer until the woman's face and Selly's face was very close, Selly was crying without a sound, she still could not move her body.
“Haiiii?” The whisper of the woman whose neck had passed through the reception desk was still in place, behind the table sebrang selly who had retreated until her body was stuck to the wall.
“Lamp is off,” whispers again.
Selly cried even though in silence, her tears flooded, she tried hard to scream but could not.
Trying to ask for help but still not able to talk.
The long-necked woman finally moved away, the neck was back to its normal size and her face had returned to her body, as she finally returned to the elevator and the elevator closed, Selly could finally shout.
“Tolooonnggg! Toloooonggg!” Security and Teddy ran over, while Selly had fallen down but kept screaming for help.
As soon as Security arrived and Teddy arrived at Selly, they woke him up to sit him on the job.
“Drink first Cell.” Teddy gives a drink from the glass that Selly used to drink at that place.
Sally drank while still asking for help but already whispering, some people joined the crowd because the screams were only loud enough, so that attract the attention of all who were actually nearby just separated space.
“What's the Cell?” Ask Teddy.
“Pak, Sir! there was ... there .. she ... it ... the lamp ... 713!” Selly was still very frightened and confused as to what to say, her body shaking violently even started to shiver.
“Istigfar Cell! Istigfar!” Teddy coded Security to take something.
Supri understood, she ran into the hotel kitchen and before long, she brought a drink in a green glass.
“Drink this first Sel.” Teddy forced Selly to drink it.
Selly was forced to drink it because Teddy immediately put the glass in Mulu Selly.
Somewhat nauseous because Selly felt drinking water squeezed with grass, very unpleasant, but he was forced to spend it because Teddy really forced him to drink it.
“The others back again yes, do not let any guests aygn see we huddle gini, later so uncomfortable them.” Teddy's asking everyone back.
When it's lonely all that's left is Selly, Teddy and Supri. Teddy finally spoke.
“You saw him huh?” ask Teddy.
“Pak, why the hell did no one tell me about that woman?” Selly's angry.
“Cell, that is not the formality information you should know, it is also not the material part of the training, so I have no obligation to tell the rumors.” Teddy defended himself.
“Pak, that's not a rumor, Mr. Supri see not the woman who just got out of the elevator!” Selly is upset that Supri is unaware Selly has asked for help in the rigidity earlier.
“No Ma'am, I always heard the sound of the elevator, even earlier there was no sound of the elevator, I heard Mbak Selly yelling, only recently I came here, I really did not see and hear anything.”
“But there was that woman, she was .. she ..”
“Stop! Don't tell me what you saw, just swallow it. Remember, do not make the rumors more and more in this hotel.”
“Rumors! The rumors apply to things that are not true sir, but this is real! I could see it even feeling how cold the body was!” Selly protest.
“If it's real, why are you the only one who sees it, while Supri doesn't even hear the elevator sound?” Teddy looked at Selly with a tense face.
“Pak ...”
“Selly, it's time you come home, you want to be delivered home? Let Supri drive you home first.”
“No Mr. Teddy, I will be picked up my husband.” Selly refused.
“Sel, you why!” Her husband Selly named Rudi is suddenly inside the hotel.Usually she will wait outside the hotel.
“You are here?” Selly's confused.
“Yes, you're not out-going, so I'm in, afraid there's nothing.”
“Yes but it's new hours .. gosh! 2 Nights!” Selly just realized it was two o'clock at night.
“I'm also confused, why are you still here when it's two o'clock at night, where's your replacement receptionist?” Teddy asked.
“I don't know Mr.” Selly's confused.
“Iya Sir, no one came also from earlier, did he ... resign again?” Security keceplosan's.
“Supri, back to your place!” Teddy is upset that Supri is lazy, it is difficult to find employees for this hotel, surely who worked not long ago resigned, this is a replacement for Selly even no news.
“Sel, go home first with your husband yes, I love you two days off, if you've done it, you go back to work again, rest first. This is take home, drink regularly before dawn prayers and after magrib prayers. Understand?” Teddy gave me a package containing leaves.
“Pak, but ...”
“Selly we go home, Mr. Teddy will give you relief. Yuk!” Her husband pulled Selly to stop asking and asked her to come home.
While Sellya is still very curious why was Mr Supri said the possibility of receptionist colleagues Selly likely resign without permission? And why did he say it like it was normal.
Looks like Sellya has to figure it out before deciding to keep working here.
