Midnight Foot Step
Chapter 14 - Rooftop Dormitory

The next day, Tari and Siska went back to sleep all day. It just so happens to be Sunday, which they don't need to go to college. When night falls, they wake up as before.

Curious about Mr. Hasan's attitude wandering around midnight, today Tari and Siska decided to follow him.

"This time we can't be afraid anymore Ri. Suppose there was a kayak disturbance last night, we ignore it. We have to successfully follow Mr. Hasan, so as not to be curious mulu," said Siska while wearing a jacket. He deliberately used it to dispel the cold that often blows without knowing the time.

"Yes, we need to find out the answer. I'm curious about the secrets in this dorm. Why is the effect so haunted, and why is there also a sighting of Arum when he was in a coma." Dance answered enthusiastically.

After seeing Mr. Hasan last night, Tari was indeed overwhelmed with curiosity. He was determined to uncover the secrets stored in his dorm. He doesn't want to be terrorized without knowing the cause.

"An hour away," murmured Siska as she looked at the clock on her phone, still showing the number eleven.

"There is still time to prepare mentally," joked Tari accompanied by a crisp laugh. He deliberately diluted the atmosphere so as not to tense up.

An hour later, Tari and Siska moved up and opened the room door. They looked up for a moment, then stepped out quietly.

"That's the sound" whispered Dance.

He pulled Siska's arm and invited her to hide in the corner of the wall, where she was yesterday. Just then, the sound of footsteps was already faintly heard from below.

Without waiting for long, the figure of Mr. Hasan appeared on the stairs. He stepped up while carrying a tray.

At the same time, a bone-chilling cold wind began to blow. But, Tari and Siska were undaunted. They tried to shake off the fear in order to remain confident with the initial intention.

"He went there again" whispered Siska as she saw Mr. Hasan walking in front of the rooms, just like last night.

"Let's follow!" answer Dance with a whisper.

Then, Tari and Siska settles in the footsteps of Mr. Hasan. It turned out that the man walked up to the very end of the room.

When Mr. Hasan was about to turn around, Tari and Siska immediately hid behind a wall of insulation. There, they stared in surprise because Mr. Hasan did nothing. Just walk and then turn around again.

Dance and Siska followed. This time, Mr. Hasan headed for the stairs and climbed to the fourth floor. What he did was the same as before, walking up to the very end of the room and then turning around again.

"Actually what the hell did he do, how was it just a walk?" gerutu Dance slowly. He was a little upset that he had not found any clues.

"Just keep going, he said this is impossible without purpose" replied Siska.

Then, they followed Mr. Hasan. Luckily, this time there was no creepy disturbance, only the cold had appeared some time ago.

After surrounding the entire floor in the dormitory, Mr. Hasan walked towards the rooftop. Dance and Siska followed suit. While staring carefully, they climbed the stairs that were barely exposed to light.

In a dark atmosphere, the cold again blew, followed by strange sounds that came from nowhere. But, Tari and Siska tried to ignore. They kept walking so as not to lose track of Mr. Hasan.

The lighting in the rooftop is different from the floors below. It was very gloomy there, even in some corners it looked pitch-black. Although scary, but the circumstances are favorable for Tari and Siska, because it is easier to hide.

"He went in there" said Siska, pointing at Mr. Hasan who was entering the room.

Dari and Siska were standing right in front of the door. They leaned over and tried to peek out of the keyhole. But only darkness they see.

Dari and Siska grew curious, but did not dare to turn the doorknob. They don't want his whereabouts known to Mr. Hasan. Finally, Tari chose to go from there. He took Siska back to the room.

"We're looking for a chance to get back here. I wonder what room it is" whispered Tari after moving away from the door.

"Yes. Let's set the time" replied Siska.

Both of them continued to walk under the dimness. No more talking, each only struggling with a mind that holds a big question mark.

As they were about to reach the stairs, Siska flinched. He remembered something very important, which had been forgotten.

"Ri!" call Siska while stopping her steps.

"What's wrong?" Dari looked over and saw the look on Siska's face full of worry.

Siska. Let alone to speak, gulp only he trouble.

"Why Sis? Don't scare me!" Dance back to talking. This time while shaking Siska's arm.

"I just remembered .. this rooftop is a ban. All the hostel residents can't come here."

The deg!

The heart of Dance seemed to jump from its place.

No time for Dance to talk, the cold came back. Then, a faint sound of creepy laughter was heard.

Dance and Siska held each other. They glanced to and fro without stepping foot. Both are filled with great fear.

Ohhaa!!

Dari and Siska were aghast because the sound seemed to be right in the ear. They quickly turned to the side, but there was nothing there.

Ohhaa!!

Spontaneous Dance and Siska looked up, as the voice seemed to be overhead. But, again empty. No figure seen.

Furthermore, the voices were getting more and more heard. From the right, left, top, bottom, and back. It was as if they were surrounded by other creatures in close proximity.

Dance and Siska trembling. Cold sweat and irregular heartbeat. The legs suddenly go limp, very difficult to move.

Siska's panicking. He devised a strategy to dart quickly and get away from the place. While Dance, she closed her mouth and tried to calm down.

A few moments later, they looked at each other. Then nod slowly as a gesture to make a movement.
