Room 14's
Chapter 10

The night weather was very cold, outside the dormitory the wind blew hard to make some leaves fall off. In front of the fourteen-room door Diana stood hesitant, the door lock was in her hand,

"the hunt is open, and then someone will see again" whispered Feby

Diana stopped hesitating, she opened the door, pulled the door slowly and then rushed in.Locked the door from the inside after Feby entered.

Feby highlighted around the room using a flashlight he held using his left hand. While his right hand held tightly onto Diana's sleeve. The air inside was very hot and gloomy, but there was nothing in the room,

Blank.

the room was empty, not really empty. There was a dark red carpet covering the floor, still clean when Diana touched it with her thumb.

"kirain there's something interesting here? he knew it was just an empty room, "a grumpy Feby was disappointed, but he had hoped to find an illegal research that was deliberately hidden or if there were no bodies buried under the floor.

eh, wait! who knew there was a body hidden here? thought Feby.

"na, let's get rid of this carpet, who knows there's a body buried here.did you hear every night the sound of people from this room, "take Feby. Diana rolled her eyes puffed with the absurd thought of her best friend, but still she agreed with the idea.

"already, come on, "

Diana and Feby started rolling up the carpet covering the floor. Feby again highlighted the surroundings of the room, then right in the right corner there was a square-shaped board covering the floor. Feby almost squealed happily if not held back by Diana.

Diana and Feby approached the board.Diana's hands stretched out checking, tapped gently on the board.

"there's another room down there? " Murm Diana.

"let's pick it up, na,"

"Diana! Feby! you're inside, right?! "

Just about to lift the board, the sound of madam susan was heard from outside while knocking hard on the door. Diana and Feby look at each other, "madam susan? "

"we have to put the carpet again, " said Diana did not lift the board.

"Diana!! " shouted madam susan from outside "open the door! "

they hurriedly spread the carpet back, Diana sighing first before opening the door.

"good night, madam, "greet Diana and Feby. Diana smiled sweetly, Feby followed with a wide, somewhat stiff smile.

because the hallway lights had been turned off earlier, Diana was unable to clearly see the face of madam susan. Feby also left the susana dark without turning on the flashlight he was carrying.

"what are you looking for inside? " Task madam Susan coldly. It was as cold as the night breeze that blew fiercely outside the dormitory.

"we wondered if anyone was inside, madam, because almost every night I hear people's voices, " said Diana telling the truth. Feby elbowed softly, disagreeing with Diana who said that.

"after checking it out do you believe that this room is indeed empty? " Task madam susan again,

"yes, madam.. "

"good.so you don't have to hallucinate anymore hear that unclear sound" cut madam susan.

"wasn't it yesterday that madam said that this room had been used as a warehouse, but there was nothing inside? " Task Feby. He wanted to know how the head of the dormitory would answer.

"now it is still empty, if there will be unused items will be placed inside." explained madam susan.

Diana hesitantly handed over the key.

" Because you are new I will only warn you, Do not repeat the mistake, Diana. stealing is not a commendable act, "said Madam susan warning. then the two of them could hear the footsteps of madam susan who had returned to the second floor.

"How did he know that the key was stolen? " ask Feby.

Diana just shook her head even though Feby couldn't see.

This morning Diana was going to leave for the city as an assistant to Mr. Eddie, they were not going to the capital but going to another city. precisely the hometown of Diana, a place that Diana had not been to for a long time, the place where he spent his teenage years. Since graduating from college Diana chose to settle in the capital.

there was still a strange tremor in his chest as he passed through the city gate, of course, the man he loved was still in the city. He stared at the houses lined up on the side of the road, ah, it used to be a routine he did almost every day when taking the bus to school and campus. Diana glanced at Mr. Eddie who was driving in silence. Nobody started the conversation from earlier.

"you know, there's no seminar here,"

Diana stared in confusion as Mr. Eddie let out a voice, a word she did not understand. The man, who has been driving for more than half a century, continued "we're here to meet the mayor ,"

"why? isn't it on schedule we're going to do a seminar, sir? " ask Diana in wonder.

"only a false schedule was created by prof. Adams, he said privately that we should see the mayor" Mr. Eddie said cynically.

" when from the beginning there was no good thing if you were a government person" continued Mr. Eddie.

Is it true that Mr. Eddie is not a government man? ask Diana in heart. Seeing how Mr. Eddie's response seems to be correct. What Bian said turned out to be true.

"then why do you want to see the mayor? "

"i'm just a subordinate now, maybe if the situation gets out of hand I'll choose to stop being a researcher, "

"situation? " Diana didn't understand what situation Mr. Eddie meant.

While the man turned his head briefly with a sigh, In the depths of his eyes that were invisible to Diana there was concern "it's nothing. you shouldn't have to come to Buana. In the capital you will also be a great researcher, "

Diana was confused. increasingly did not understand the direction of the vice head of the lab.was he mentioned the situation, then suddenly gave advice so that Diana did not need to come to Buana. The question mark on Diana's head is getting bigger, what's in Buana? in addition to many strange events, the people who work there are also mostly strange. Like Elise, the mature woman who always judges and ignores her surroundings, as if she were the only one in Buana. Then, as well as Sabrina, the neurologist stayed silent for days in the analysis room, and the neuroscientist remained silent, in the right corner of the room, either doing what was never finished, Sabrina only went home once a week according to Feby's explanation.

Since moving to Buana Diana also never saw prof. Adams, though he was eager to ask some things to the man he had considered to be the teacher.

" are we going straight to the mayor's house, sir? "asked Diana after quite a long time immersed in her thoughts. Mr. Eddie nodded.

Erlangga was the mayor's son, should Diana be happy because she could finally see the man after so long? What if there's his wife there too? will Diana's heart be okay? Diana clearly has not completely erased her feelings for the man.The closer to the mayor's mansion the more unfriendly Diana feels.she squeezes the taut work pants she wears, making it a bit tangled, making it a bit crumpled up, diana did not care. He should calm his heart a little.

" you'll just listen and take notes on our conversation, okay? "tell Mr. Eddie when he just turned his car's steering through the magnificent gate of the three-story mansion.

"well, sir. " Tabiana said with a long sigh, trying not to be nervous.

After parking the car, Mr. Eddie immediately went down followed by Diana with an erratic feeling. Many times he inhaled air and exhaled slowly, after being calm enough Diana followed Mr. Eddie who had walked in.

Seriate.....
