Pickup Transportation
Part 26: The Red Kuntilanak
The series of events that Mr. Abdul has been through has not made him brave enough to stop the project. The fear of being responsible for all the losses and also his greed, did not make him struggle to lay off the project. Mr. Abdul knew, that if he finally resigned from the project, there would be people replacing him, because to stop the project was too impossible.
So the best way he thinks is, running all this, even though every day there are always victims, whether injured, disabled or even dead.
It took two years finally the building stood upright, missed from the expected time, but it was enough to make Mr. Abdul able to breathe freely.
Slowly his wealth was also increasing, the house, the car and some other assets he had acquired because of the project, in his heart he said, that this gamble was worth what he got.
When the building was finished, Mr. Abdul held the position as head of management, where all tenants and maintenance of the building was occupied by him.
Starting from rent payment, maintenance payment and also all supporting elements such as water and electricity.
You could say Mr. Abdul's life is at a pretty good point.
It took about 6 months finally all tenants entered in the rooms that have been rented, one floor there are six units. There are six companies on one floor. The building has 21 floors.
Many at the opening of this building, Mr. Abdul so far felt all his efforts were successful, even though the disturbance did not really stop.
Like tonight, when Mr. Abdul is overtime because he has to compile a monthly report, because today is the end of the month, the time when the report must be sent to the owner of the capital.
“Pak Abdul, haven't come home?” One employee asked, Mr. Abdul just nodded without replying, all employees who are not related to the end of the month report, have gone home, only Office Boy and security left. Based on the data, today there are no tenants whose employees are over time, because if you want to overtime, in the afternoon Pak Abdul's men will report it, he said, it was intended that the AC central and also the water is not turned off from the center.
While he was busy with his report file, suddenly the lights on his desk dim.
Mr. Abdul looked up, then the lights returned to normal.
Then he continued the work, not long after, the lights dimmed again. Mr. Abdul looked up again, the lights were back to normal.
At this point he began to fidget, his hair goosebumps. But if he comes home, this report will be late, he must still have a good name in the eyes of the superiors.
Finally he started his job again.
Ten minutes later the lights went back dim, Mr. Abdul had started not being able to control himself, he knew, maybe being bullied by the creature.
He tried to ignore the troubled lamp, his eyes remained focused on work, even though his mind was no longer calm.
He thought that this time he would be released from the disturbance if he was indifferent, but it turned out wrong, this time the lights were not dim anymore, but died completely and then lit up.
Yes .. tok .. tak .. tok.
The light switch rang, like someone was playing it, Mr. Abdul's sweat started to come out, to look at the switch he was too scared, a second later he heard a sound.
“Pak Abdul, want coffee.” Upon hearing the question, Mr. Abdul was immediately relieved, it turned out Office Boy guard who offered him a drink.
Pak Abdul's reflexes turned to the back, where Office Girl who offered him coffee was located.
“Iya Mbak ..”
When looking back, her eyes immediately widened, the voice was indeed Office Girl Keep, but the form was completely different.
This woman was wearing a dress that was so long, her long skaing this dress covered the entire floor, her hair was long, her matany was perfect white, her face was deathly blackened, her hands were squeezing light switches and her legs were floating.
Mr. Abdul was unable to scream, his whole body shivering and heavy, unable to run, just stood up he had difficulty.
His eyes and head seemed to be controlling, so he still had to look straight at the terrible woman.
Mr. Abdul read the holy verses of the Quran in his heart, hoping that he could escape from the grip of the devil, he continued to repeat the readings that he was able to.
Slowly the horrifying woman approached him, step by step without staring at the floor.
The woman got closer, then when they were one step away, the woman shouted.
“LEAVE THIS PLACE!!!” His voice rumbled, the tables shook, blood splashed out of the woman's mouth, not just in Mr. Abdul's body, blood was all over the floor.
It was a dress, but it turned to blood. Mr. Abdul could do nothing, he cried like a child and could not be held back, so afraid, his pants wet because of his own urine.
After shouting, the woman disappeared, immediately Mr. Abdul could move again.
He looked around, there was no one, the lights were back to normal, there was no blood, but this rancid smell was still left behind.
Because her fear was so great, she finally chose to go home and not continue the work, she did not even clean the documents, she ran just carrying a briefcase, while passing through the hallway to the elevator, she said, he heard a woman yelling at him, but he did not want to turn his head at all, he kept running, not waiting for the elevator but passing the emergency stairs.
“Why Mr Abdul? Kok run, called even kayak fear, even though I want to bargain for coffee.” Office Girl kept muttering, shocked that her boss ran off on a ridge as she called.
“Mbak Susi, go home, it's night.” Another woman asked Susi the Office Girl to hurry home.
“I-iya Mbak.” Susi who was shocked by the reprimand of the woman then rushed down with an open elevator, when she reached the bottom, she kept thinking.
“Why do you Sus?” The security guard outside the building had coffee in his hand, he finished making coffee in the pantry and asked Office Girl to take care of it.
“Gak Pak Efendi, look, Mr. Abdul Susi called instead of running to the emergency stairs, like a frightened person, even though Susi wanted to bargain for coffee, Susi's right trouser was confused again, someone invited Susi home, because again confused Susi answered yes, Susi trus down the elevator, but Susi just realized, OG who is guarding today is only Susi, but Susi, who was that trus?”
“Emang kayak how was his face?” Mr. Efendi asked, the two of them finally went outside the building and sat down at the security post.
“The face is not perfect Susi clay, it was just down, but Susi inget voice ...”
“Whatever why?” Mr. Efendi is getting curious.
“Votes, very similar sounds Susi.”
“Hah? Trus he didn't come down with you? he'll take you home.”
“Well that's it, because confused maybe yes, Susi down, don't wait for him, the person in the thought of susi, mah, no other OG sir.”
“Wah Sus, you make me so afraid, where today I take care of myself, the Aris did not enter work, meriang said.”
“Susi wants to go home ah, sir. Kan Pak Abdul has come home, was Pak Abdul already under Pak?”
“Not squirming me Sus.” Mr. Efendi replied.
“Udah time yes, did you make coffee in pantry.”
“Iya, already. I don't want ah roving, the important thing I keep outside the building safe.” Mr. Efendi shuddered to imagine he had to go inside, even though he had previously been very experienced as Security because it had been almost 15 years he struggled in the job, but this place was so scary, he said, there were so many strange things that he often met, so he chose the safe way.
“Yaudah Sir, Susi went home first yes.” After taking his bag in the pantry accompanied by Mr. Efendi, Susi went home leaving Mr. Efendi alone, while after Susi left, Mr. Efendi immediately locked the entrance of the building from the outside and returned to the guard post.
The air was very cold, that was what Mr. Efendi felt.
While inside there was someone who was trying to bang on the door of the emergency stairs, he had already run for about ten minutes but did not also find the lobby floor, he felt that he was constantly spinning on the same floor, he felt like he was still on the same floor, already 5 times he went back and forth up and down but did not also find the lower floor where the Lobby is located.
When he decided to get out of the door of the emergency stairs, the door did not want to open.
He kept shouting but did not find anyone who could hear his voice.
“Please!!! Help!!!”
