Initial Move to Semarang and Accommodation Discovery
📌 The narrator moved from Magelang to Semarang in 2010 after graduating to work as a *serabi* (pancake) maker, persuaded by an acquaintance named Eko.
🏠 The initial four-person team (Narrator, Eko, Tomo, and Supri) worked under a boss named Pak Rudi from Solo, producing *serabi* in their rented place.
🔑 After one month, the original lodging contract was not renewed due to noise from the grinding machines; the three colleagues (Eko, Tomo, Supri) suddenly returned home, leaving the narrator alone to find a new place.

Encounter with "Alif" and Disturbing Incidents
👯 The narrator met a helper named Alif (from East Java, tall, dark skin, curly hair, mole on the left cheek) who offered to help work from dusk till dawn, claiming he worked selling salted fish during the day.
👻 Residents, including Bu Tuti (a local food vendor), recognized Alif's description but stated that the description matched someone who had ended his life in that rental house three years prior.
😨 Upon learning the truth, the narrator experienced increasing strangeness: Alif's unnatural speed in packing goods, his unnaturally straight sleeping posture, and a cold, cotton-like texture when touched.

Escalating Paranormal Activity
👣 The narrator found **dozens of uneaten, wrapped portions of *serabi* hidden under the stove area, causing a foul odor, suggesting Alif hadn't eaten real food.
🐈 While sick for three days, the narrator was surrounded by dozens of cats at night; upon recovery, only one cat remained, staring intensely toward the hallway where Alif had manifested.
👻 Alif's final clear manifestation was seen by the narrator's mother: Alif sat on a small bridge outside the house, asking for Andi, wearing the same green shirt with a mushroom design** and smelling strongly of *pandan* (screwpine essence) and coconut milk.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Alif's unchanging appearance and routine were major red flags: always wearing the same green shirt, bathing without getting wet (and never wetting his feet), and leaving precisely when the narrator performed religious observances like reading Yasin.
➡️ The narrator was hospitalized for three days due to sickness after confronting the entity by hitting it with a broom, which felt like hitting cloth before it vanished.
➡️ Locals warned the narrator that if he showed fear, the entity would be brave; if he acted bravely, the entity would be afraid, highlighting the importance of maintaining composure against the supernatural.
➡️ A local resident who acted bravely against Alif was later found missing his underwear snagged on a cassava plant, suggesting the entity could cause physical disruptions or trickery even when confronted.
