If you are doing Joomla development then you owe it to yourself to register an account on Joomla Stack Exchange.

Remember </extension> should come at the end. Not in between. That should be the ending tag. Your code should looklike this.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<extension type="module" version="3.1.0" client="site" method="upgrade">
    <name>Hello, World 2</name>
    <author>Dhany</author>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
    <description>Belajar Module 2</description>
    <files>
        <folder>sql</folder>
        <filename>mod_helloworld2.xml</filename>
        <filename module="mod_helloworld">mod_helloworld2.php</filename>
        <filename>index.html</filename>
        <filename>helper.php</filename>
        <filename>tmpl/default.php</filename>
        <filename>tmpl/index.html</filename>
    </files>
    <config>
    </config>


<install>
     <sql>
         <file driver="mysql" charset="utf8">sql/mysql/install.mysql.utf8.sql</file>
     </sql>
</install>

<uninstall>
     <sql>
         <file driver="mysql" charset="utf8">sql/mysql/uninstall.mysql.utf8.sql</file>
     </sql>
</uninstall>

<update> 
    <schemas>
        <schemapath type="mysql">sql/mysql/updates</schemapath> 
    </schemas> 
</update>
</extension>

Note: I also noted that your updates is a file instead of a folder. Remember it should be a folder.
