Room No.11B
THE END

"Sir, I honestly don't know what this stuff means. What does it mean sir?" my many.

Aziz smiled back. Then he stood up.

"This is what Nek Iyah said in the letter. So that we the members of the association help and protect you." replied Mr. Aziz.

I glanced at Tika and Mas Gun. They do not imply the slightest look of understanding. Only confusion was drawn from their faces.

"Sir, I still don't understand what this all means? About the late Nek Iyah's plea that explained about the members of the association helping and protecting us." I said.

Mr. Aziz sighed, he sat down in front of me.

"Dek Adi, Tika, and Thunder. The business of the supernatural is done. But right now, you are dealing with the law. During the period from the beginning of the discovery of the bodies of the two women until the last Nek Iyah died, the police have suspected you. Because you're the one who's not in the room. You don't show your face, you're never present when the police come, you never report. You have no alibi at all. Right?" ask Mr. Aziz.

I swallowed spit. That's right what Mr. Aziz said. If it's like this, it could be me, Tika, and Mas Gun suspected by the authorities. The worst thing could be that we're suspects.

"Then?" my many.

"All of that will incriminate you against the officers. So we are members of the society in charge of protecting you. And this is your alibi." replied Mr. Aziz briefly as he pointed at the train ticket and flshdisk before me.

The man in white approached Mr. Aziz.

"alright. I will explain as much as possible to Adi and friends. So that Adi and his friends can catch it well." said Mr. in white.

"agreed?" ask the man in white.

"Agree sir." sergeant Mas Gun.

We close the seat. Putting the ears well.

"I'll explain starting with our duties. Agreed?" ask the man in white again.

The three of us nodded at the same time.

"Our last task is to help and protect you from the police officers who are after you. When Mr. Aziz found the letter from Nek Iyah, we all immediately made an alibi for you." explained Mr. White.

"Alibi first, the key is on that train ticket. You guys we made it look like we were coming home. Counts since the discovery of Nek Iyah's letter and the day Nek Iyah died. The ticket was a train ticket home and away. The date on the ticket went along with the date of Nek Iyah's death. Your return ticket is today. Three tickets for you. Adi, Tika, and Guntur." explained the Father in white.

"Clearly?" ask the man in white.

I'm nodding.

"Alibi second, the key is on the flash" said the father in white.

"In the flasdisk there is video footage of cctv on the streets where the figure plays its role. Until here get it?"

"Figurant? Role-playing? What does it mean sir?" many confusions.

Gun just silently looked.

Tika did not say.

The man in white smiled.

"It's only natural that you don't understand. Calm. I'll explain slowly." said the father in white.

"Counting that from the day that Nek Iyah died, we members of the association were looking for faces and bodies similar to the three of you. To strengthen the alibi, that you are really going home. The task of figurants is quite simple, they just walk through the areas that have cctv cameras. For example, stations, public roads, even in shopping centers. It's meant to strengthen your alibi." explained the white-clothed father.

I'm amazed to believe.

"I'm sorry, sir. Not that I don't believe, not that we're not sure. But is it true what you explained to us?" my many.

The man in white smiled. Aziz smiled too.

A young man approached Mr. Aziz with a laptop. He put his laptop in front of him in white. The laptop screen is facing us.

"Let's take a look at this cctv footage. Do they look like you?" said Mr. in white.

Me, Tika, and Mas Gun stared at the laptop screen with a video showing the atmosphere of a shopping center.

Deg deg deg deg. My heart is beating fast.

Who'sis that?

That me?

His face, posture, until his hairstyle was exactly mine.

Holy hooch! How could?

Mr. Aziz and Mr. in white were smiling.

"See the next cctv recording" said Mr. Aziz.

Video footage of the cctv shows a crowd on a street. A lot of people walk on foot.

And..

That's Tika?

Tika was surprised to close her mouth. His eyes were wide as if in disbelief.

In the video footage, a woman looks a lot like Tika, she walks with a sling bag typical of female students. Walk in the middle of the street.

I also watched the video to the point of not believing what I had just seen. The woman in the video is very similar to Tika.

"That's not me, is it?" ask Tika.

Aziz smiled back.

"Guntur Dean, now try to watch the next cctv recording." ask the Father in white.

Guntur corrected his sitting position. He swallowed.

Video recording cctv start.

It looks like a crowded train station. Cctv recording panned to the location of the counter within the station. Then there was a thick man with a bald head of plontos. He bought a ticket. When he saw his face, Mas Gun almost jumped in surprise.

"Since when have I had a twin?" muttered Mas Gun.

All the citizens present inside the house laughed at Mas Gun.

"Crazy. Similar to me sir." said Mas Gun.

"Did I have another wife?" Gun still can't believe what he saw.

Video recording cctv ends.

"How's it?" ask Mr. Aziz briefly.

I can't say anything.

Mas Gun may still think that he really has a twin.

"So, the cctv footage we just watched aims to strengthen our alibi? That we really went home, did you?" ask Tika.

"Tika Deck" replied the Father in white.

"Bapak said that the figurant did his duty counted after Nek Iyah died. While the order of death Nek Iyah was at the last, after Kang Ujang and the two women. Then the police have been looking for us since the discovery of two female bodies in an empty garden. How was our alibi in the period before Nek Iyah was found dead?" my many.

The man in white smiled.

"Your question is good Deck. Very Good. How to make your alibi in the span of time after the discovery of the bodies of two women to the body of Kang Ujang, is that what you ask?"

I'm nodding.

The man in white again smiled.

"The answer is on the flash" replied the White-clothed Father.

I took the flash and plugged it in on the laptop. There are six videos.

"What other video is this, sir?" my many.

"Please see." said Mr. Aziz.

I played a video.

The cctv footage shows many people passing by. Uh, this is the front street of the faculty building? Lho. Is correct. This is the front road of my faculty. Again, he looks like a man who looks like me. He walked towards the faculty building.

Cctv recording changed. Now show pictures inside a building. A man who looked like me walked into the building, and stood waiting for the elevator. Before long someone came to greet a man who looked like me.

Lho?

Yudah?

That's Yuda, right?

In the video they enter the elevator, and the elevator door is closed.

Video recording cctv finished.

"We have edited the cctv footage according to the date and hour before the day Nek Iyah died. Hopefully this cctv recording can strengthen your alibi." replied Mr. Aziz.

"Then this other video?" my many.

"That's a video of Tika and Thunder's cctv recording. The scene is just like you, it's on campus. They also met their friends. Just like you." replied Mr. Aziz.

Me, Tika, and Mas Gun fell silent. In my heart, I still can't believe what the members of the society are doing to help and protect me.

"Dek Adi, Tika and Thunder." call Mr. Aziz.

"This is all we can do to protect you. After this, the society no longer existed. So, this is all we can do to fulfill Nek Iyah's request." said Mr. Aziz.

We were silent not saying.

Suddenly a father stood up. His body is strapping with large arm muscles. He wears a blue dongker shirt.

"Sir, tomorrow morning the officer will come here to see you. We hope you are calm to face them. Don't look nervous, just imagine you're on that cctv tape. Imagine you are in your hometown. Be on the street, at the station, on campus, or anywhere. May you be free from all the accusations that they spread yesterday." said the father was firm.

"Rubber. Do not waste our help from the members of the association." said a father.

"Mother, thank you so much for your help with us. We are very appreciative of what the Fathers of the Society did to us. God willing we will try to calm down to face the officer from the police tomorrow." I said.

Mr. Aziz nodded with a smile.

"One more," said Mr. Aziz.

The members of the society looked at Mr. Aziz.

"We ask Dek Adi and friends for help. Tomorrow, the entire area of Nek Iyah's house will be vacated. Like what was written in his letter. We beg Dek Adi and his friends to move from here. Please help Dek." said Mr. Aziz.

Me and Mas Gun looked at each other.

"Good Sir. God willing tomorrow afternoon we will move from here soon." replied Mas Gun.

"Yes Sir. God willing, hopefully tomorrow there are no obstacles when meeting with police officers. So that we can get out of this hostel faster" I added.

Mr. Aziz threw his smile.

"Tomorrow we will accompany Dek Adi and friends when we meet with police officers. There will be me, Mr. Dedy, and Mr. Mike who will also serve in the police" Mr. Aziz said.

The man in white was named Mr. Dedy. While Mr. Steady named Mr. Mike, he was a member of the association and served as a member of the police force as well.

"Good Sir. Once again we are very grateful for the help of our fellow members." I reply.

"Now you rest. Tomorrow you will be tired. Thank you for the cooperation of Dek Adi, Tika, and also Thunder" said Mr. Aziz.

The door of Nek Iyah's house was opened wide. Me, Tika, and Mas Gun walked out of the house side by side with Mr. Aziz and Mr. Dedy.

Mr. Aziz told me a little. The association created by Nek Iyah aims to unite the surrounding residents who are faced with the apparatus who want to displace their land and homes. They were taught the science of kanuragan to protect themselves and their families. However, as time went by Nek Iyah darkened his eyes. As his knowledge grew more powerful and the red kuntilanak began to ask for more collateral, everything turned into a nightmare for the members of the society.

Every night, the members of the society took turns serving red kuntilanak. Every night. For a long time. Many falls. On the other hand, they are worried about the routine. But on the other hand, they obtained treasures and all their wishes were granted. The members of the society became upset.

Many also decided to leave the group. But baby, they must die horribly. Become a tumbar for red kuntilanak. According to the story of Mr. Aziz, to become a member of the association they had to do a blood covenant with Nek Iyah. And the agreement is very binding. Interlace. Championing. Detaining members of the association.

A fresh wind appeared when Mr. Aziz knew that Nek Iyah had decided to end all this. He was tired of everything.

"Sir, the late Nek Iyah has also told me like that" I said.

"Nek Iyah told me to be more sensitive in seeing things. He also said that I was a brave and strong boy. I don't know what he meant at the time. But now it's all connected and it's becoming clear." I added.

All the residents went home. It's Mr. Aziz, Mr. Dedy, and Mr. Mike.

"Daddy, I'm going home. Tomorrow morning we will come again. Rest, you have expended a lot of energy." said Mr. Aziz.

Mr. Aziz, Mr. Dedy, and Mr. Mike also paid their way home. Me, Tika, and Mas Gun were still standing in the yard of Nek Iyah's house to take the Fathers to leave Nek Iyah's house.

I locked the gate.

The atmosphere of the house feels very quiet. Even the crickets were not heard. The wind is not blowing. Feels peaceful. We also went back to the room.

* * *

Teeeett. Teeeett. Teeeett.

I woke up because my alarm went off so loud. After I turned off the alarm, I was still laying my body on the bed.

*It looks like just yesterday I moved into this room. But tomorrow, I have to get out of here. Ah, there's a feeling of unwillingness. There's a speck of shit. There's a little bit of a sense of not wanting. With everything I've experienced, it feels like I want to stay here. Haha. There's no way.

It was only last night that I heard the sound of a baby crying. But tonight I slept pretty well and woke up to the alarm. Haha. It was rare when the disturbance still haunted me.

Tonight I sleep over your final resting place Ma'am Ajeng, Mbak Gendis, and baby Nyai Asih. I hope you're calm in nature. I pray that God will forgive all your sins. The pain you feel in life, may God replace it with pleasure in another realm*.

Ahhhh, room 11b.

I got up to the bathroom. Ablutions. Enjoy the cold water coming out of the faucet. It feels like just yesterday I reported to Nek Iyah because my bathroom faucet was broken.

I grinned while ablution.

* * *

This morning I greeted the sun by sitting side by side on the front porch of the hostel. With Mas Gun and a cup of coffee. I leaned against the boarding wall, staring at the white sky. I smile. I breathe fresh morning air. I pray in my heart, may this day go well.

"Heh. Why are you smiling? Same with Tika?" ledek Mas Gun's.

I ignored the weightless ledge.

I heard the door lock turning. It comes from room 11a.

Tika came out, she was still wearing a white mukena. Sweet face. Her cheeks are a little red. His eyes look like they just woke up.

He sat down to join me and Mas Gun. Sitting on my hands looking at the sky.

Mas Gun elbowed my arm slowly. Her lips moved forward pointing towards Tika. His eyes winked quickly.

"Pik. When all is done, what do you want to do?" my many.

Tika looked at me. He smiles.

"Gue wants to see the XIX movie. Hehehehehe." replied Tika while chuckling.

"If you want what?" Tika asked back.

I didn't answer right away.

"Gue's? Emm, if I don't want to get away from Lo Tik."

Tika surprised. He turned back towards me. Then smile.

Mas Gun just kept his mouth shut, holding back a laugh.

Plaque. Tika hit my thigh.

"Gombal very lo" he said with a smile.

We returned in silence. While staring at the rays of the Sun who peeked from behind the clouds.

Tika sighed.

"May we be free from the accusation yes. If our alibi is supportive, I want to host the neighbors again the same as you" said Tika slowly.

"AAAAAAAAAMIIIIIIIIIANINN." Gun agreed loudly.

* * *

At about ten, officers from the police arrived. There were about six policemen present at Nek Iyah's house. Mr. Aziz, Mr. Dedy has been present to accompany me, Tika, and Mas Gun. Mr. Mike was also present, this time he was seen charismatic wearing a full police uniform. We gathered in the family room.

"For the brethren. Thank you for your cooperation for the sisters, for taking their time. I am Zulfaqor, Lower Police Chief" said the young man with a thin mustache and a thin beard. His eyebrows are thick, his eyelashes are long. For a man size he is quite handsome.

Mr. Zulfaqor asked us where we were when the bodies of Ela and Dini were found. We answered according to the cctv footage we watched last night. And follow the instructions from Mr. Mike so as not to be nervous in answering questions from Mr. Zul.

"Are there any witnesses or evidence that you were actually on campus?" ask Mr. Zulfaqor.

"Riap Ndan. I've found footage of the cctv camera in the faculty building." Mike raised his voice.

Mr. Zulfaqor stared at Mr. Mike sharply.

"May I see that cctv tape?" ask Mr. Zulfaqor to Mr. Mike.

A policeman in the back put a laptop on the desk, right in front of Mr. Zul. He played a video.

The video shows the atmosphere inside the campus building. A lot of students came and waited for the elevator. It appears in the video of a fat man entering the campus building and waiting for the elevator.

That must be a Mas Gun.

Mr. Zul watched every scene in the cctv footage. His eyes are sharp like an eagle.

This afternoon my heart was beating fast not to subside in the slightest. Our various questions Mr. Zul answered calmly without hesitation. We answered in turn. Thank goodness Tika and Mas Gun answered smoothly without looking nervous.

The interview with Mr. Zul lasted quite a long time. About an hour more. Sweat drenched my forehead.

Until the end..

"good. We've done it for today. We think your alibis are strong enough, and there are no charges against you. But we are waiting for the latest results from a forensic team that is conducting a deeper examination" said Mr. Zul.

Mr. Zulfaqor and a policeman sitting next to him stood up.

"Thank you for your cooperation. We say hello to the Fathers." he said while shaking hands with Mr. Aziz and Mr. Dedy.

"Sister. I say goodbye." said Mr. Zulfaqor.

We shake hands with Mr. Zul. Then a group of police officers left Nek Iyah's house.

We give thanks while hugging. Mr. Aziz and Mr. Dedy looked at us happily.

I shook hands with Mr. Aziz and Mr. Dedy while saying a very big thank you.

"Alhamdulillah. You are now free from accusations from the police." said Mr. Aziz.

"Yes Sir. Alhamdulillahot. Thank you very much for the help and protection of the members of the association." I reply.

"We also thank you. You helped Nek Iyah destroy the red kuntilanak. Thanks to your help, we are now free from the snares of the devil" said Mr. Dedy.

"Sir. To clear the boarding room, we ask for time until the afternoon. God willing we will move soon." said Mas Gun.

Mr. Aziz patted Mas Gun's arm.

"Yes, it's okay. Me and Mr. Dedy are still here. Our last task is to lock this house" replied Mr. Aziz.

We are ready to take care of our things and clothes. Tika and Yuli immediately rushed to tidy up her belongings and clothes. Me and Gun are busy too.

Triiiiiiinkgg. Triiiiiiii. Cellphone's ringing.

Yudah?

Answered.

"YES!" my yelling.

"Woi, where are you?" ask Yuda.

"At the boarding house." I replied briefly as I stuffed clothes into the bag.

"Yaudah, I'm there." reply Yuda.

"Eh Da's. What car is a motor?" my many.

"Car. Why why?" ask Yuda.

"AAAAHHH PAS VERY. YOU'VE BEEN COMING HERE!" tell me.

"Eh Mas Ndeso, what the hell is going on? I brought a car."

"Don't ask too many questions. Get him here." tell me.

"YES YES!" the answer. Then Yuda closed the conversation.

Shortly thereafter, Judah arrived.

"Eh, what's going on? Where are you going?" ask Yuda in astonishment.

I explained it concisely, concisely, and clearly to Judah.

"Continue, where are you going?" ask Yuda.

"Well, that's the problem Da. We haven't had time to find a new hostel" replied Mas Gun.

"Gue Sama Adi will be very grateful if allowed to stay while at your home. How's Da?" said Mas Gun with eyebrows up and down. Seduce Yuda.

Yuda.

"So you're the same Tika has to unplug this afternoon too?" ask Yuda.

"Yes Da. How's dong?" reply Mas Gun with a face of sand.

Yuda thought for a moment.

"Yaudah, you place my boarding room. Bokap I make kost less salable, so there is still empty. It is a bit far from campus. Wantsome? Most stay to ride the angkot doang once." said Yuda.

"Asiiiiiikkkk. Thanks Yudaaa." reply Mas Gun.

"How much does Tika matter?" my many.

"These? Did Tika not get the boarding yet?" Yuda asked back.

I'm nodding.

"Jaudah, all the rooms next to it. There are still many empty ones." replied Yuda.

"Kok lo just told you that you have a hostel? Know that I can host at your place." I said.

"If I tell you the price you want to go there?" ask Yuda.

"What's the rent for?" ask Mas Gun.

"Two million. Want a hostel there?"

Me and Gun were shocked.

Then we kept silent no more.

"Will you pay two million a month?" Yuda asked again.

"Hehehehe. No deh. I hitchhiked for a while, until I got a new hostel." I replied while chuckling.

Me and Gun are ready. Our goods and clothes were already arranged in the car of Yuda. Yuda has offered to Tika and Yuli to occupy his boarding room for a while. Thank goodness Tika agreed. I'm glad I didn't have to part with Tika.

Yuda orders a taxi for Tika and Yuli. Because Yuda's car is already full of my stuff and Mas Gun.

The taxi came, I helped Tika put the goods in the trunk of the car.

Mr. Aziz and Mr. Dedy drove us to the front of the gate. Mr. Aziz was carrying an iron chain and a large padlock.

"Sir Aziz, Mr. Dedy. Again, we thank you for your help. Hopefully we can still stay in touch for the future" I said while greeting Mr. Aziz.

Mr. Aziz hugged me.

"Come anytime Dek Adi wants. My door is always open to you" replied Mr. Aziz.

We all shook hands with Mr. Aziz and Mr. Dedy. Then to the car. Mr. Aziz and Mr. Dedy are still standing in front of the gate staring at us.

"Our departure?" ask Yuda.

"YESYAAAATTTTT!" shouted Mas Gun who was sitting next to Yuda.

The wheels of the car slowly turned. The car moved away from Nek Iyah's house.

I looked back.

Mr. Aziz chained the gates of Nek Iyah's house.

The car is getting away. The figures of Mr. Aziz and Mr. Dedy are no longer visible.

Thank you for such amazing memories.

Thank you for the valuable experience.

Occupying room 11b taught me many things. About gratitude. About takwa. About appreciating God's fellow creatures. About the meaning of togetherness. About caring. And about love.

Thank you to those who have stayed in my life.

Thank you *God.

Thankyou*.

My eyes shed tears.

Happy tears.
