Time-Part2

Segalanya berubah menjadi perlahan. Aku mendengar degupan jantungku bedegup kencang. Penglihatan aku menjadi kabur. Apa yang sedang terjadi pada aku? Aku menutup mataku,lalu bunyi-bunyi pergerakan orang-orang itu semua hilang. Aku membuka mataku dan melihat mereka semua masih berada di hadapan aku dan mereka tidak bergerak. Aku brjalan kehadapan dan aku terlangar abang yang sudah rebah. Aku teringat Ibu. Semasa ibu sedang tenat, abang mempunyai rupa ibu.Aku menangis lalu ak mendengar bunyi pergerakan itu semula.
"Jangan bergerak!' jerit salah seorang dari mereka.
"Apa yang kau dah buat kepada abang? Kenapa tembak Abang?"  jeritku.
"Diam, angkat tangan dan melutut, kalau tidak aku bunuh abang kau." balas mereka.
Maknanya abang masih hidup. Aku berasa gembira. Keadaan berubah menjadi seperti tadi. aku tidak lagi mendengar apa-apa pun.Aku berlari kearah abang, mengangkat dia lalu aku membawa dia lari daripada tempat itu. Pelik, mereka semua tidak menembak ataupun menegjar aku. Aku terjumpa kereta aku dan aku meletakan abang di dalam kereta dan aku menghidupkan enjin kereta aku. Tetapi  ia tidak hidup.. malahan memutar kunci pun menjadi sangat susah. Aku keluar dari kereta dengan tenang.Kegembiraan ak berubah manjadi rasa gusar di jiwa. Aku takut bahawa ak tidak akan berjaya menyelamatkan abang. Aku menyepak sebijik batu dan apa yang ak lihat seolah-olah batu itu terapung. Oh tidak! ia bergerak dengan sangat perlahan. Aku melihat burung juga terbang dengan prlahan. Baru aku faham apa aksud abang yang aku ini istimewa.

* * * * *

Aku duduk di dalam kereta dan cuba menenangkan fikiran. Aku dapati fkeadaan kembali normal. Enjin kereta hidup. Aku terus pergi dari tempat itu. Aku berfikir apa yang ak harus buat. Aku teringat bahawa ibu ada bagi aku sesuatu untuk diberi kepada abang. Aku terus balik ke rumah dan mengambil barang itu. Aku tahu aku akan terus diburu jadi aku berkemas mengambil segala apa yang perlu. Aku terus pergi dari rumah. Tiba-tiba telefonku berbunyi. Aku mengangkat dan kedengaran suara Raf, teman rapatku.

"Hey, dah beribu kali aku telefon kau, kenapa kau tak angkat? Kau kata nak suruh aku tolong untuk persiapan majlis untuk abank kau tu.?" Tanya Raf kepadaku.

"Ermm, majlis tu.. dibatalkan. Aku ada hal penting ni. Nanti bil dah selesai aku telefon kau. OK?"

jawabku. Aku terus mematikan telefon aku bagi mengelakan apa-apa ganguan. Tiba-tiba Kerta aku ditembak dari belakang. Tayar keretaku meletup lalu terbabas. Abang yang terbaring selamat tetapi aku terkena tembakan di bahu sebelah kiriku. Aku keluar dari kereta meraung kesakitan. Aku dapat melihat datangnya seorang lelaki yang berbaju hitam.

"Hai, apa khabar.?" dia bercakap sambil mencankung. Dia mengusap kepalaku,

"Dah besar dah kau. Aku banga. Kau boleh hidup selama ni. Orang lain yang macam kau semua mati sebelum mereka sempat lahir pun." dia bercakap dalam nada bangga.

"Apa yang kau nak? Apa salah aku?" jeritku.

"Tak perlu menjerit. aku belum bisu. Aku tak mahu apa-apa tapi aku cuma nak nyawa kau. Memudahkan kerja semua pihak." Dia bercakap sambil berdiri. Dia mengacukan sepucuk pistol, menarik picunya dan menembak. Alu menutup mata dan tiba- tiba bunyi tembakan itu terus hilang. 

* * * * *

Aku membuka mata dan melihat bahawa peluru pistol itu masih berada dekat dengan pistol itu. Aku mengelak dari pistol itu dan terus berdiri. sekeliling aku tidak bergerak. Aku pergi kearah lelaki itu danmenumbuk mukanya. Aku pergi ke semua orang di sekelilingku dan menumbuk mereka sekuat hatiku. Lalu aku pergi ke kereta dan menyelamatkan abang dengan meletakan dia di dalam kereta lelaki tadi. Aku berasa lega dan akhirnya keaadaan kembali  normal. Aku melihat semua org yang aku tumbuk tercampak kecuali lelaki tadi yang cuba menembak aku. Dia memegang pistol lalu terus mula menembak ke arah ku. Aku cuba menumpukan perhatian dan aku dapat kembali keadaan dimana dia tidak lagi bergerak. Semua peluru peluru yang ditembak semua ak halakan kepada orang- orang kanan lelaki itu. Aku pergi kearah lelaki itu dan menubuk dan menendang dia sepuas-puas hatiku. Dengan segala apa kemarahan ini, aku merasa smakin berkuasa.Keadaan kembali seperti biasa dan aku dapat melihat darah yang  berlumuran di atas suit yang berwarna hiitam itu.. Aku mengambil pistol dia dan menembak dia di kedua-dua kakinya. 

"Aku tak akan bunuh kau, tapi aku nak kau menderita." kataku kepadanya.

"Aku gembira kau mempunyai kelebihan seprti ini. Tapi kau tak akan dapat hidup lama. Kau, hidupkau akan hancur. Akan musnah.  Hahaha" Dia bercakap degan yakin.

Aku terus membawa abang pergi. Kini ak tahu apa hal tujuku. Aku akan hapuskan mereka sebelum merekahapuskan. Dengan kelebihan  aku yang dapat memelahankan masa.. Tiada siapa yang akan dapat mengapa-apkan aku dan abang.

Lifetime

"
"Maybe I'm a little to scared to really say it to you. After all you know about me." I said.
"Scared of what? Tell me!" she asked.
"Can I start from the beginning? Please." I answered with a cool expression.
"Ok. Tell me everything. Why did you want? Tell me!" She said angrily.
"Ok. Ok.. It was two years ago that this thing started. I was in a college. I was very boring. I can;'t even look to my books. The words seems just to disappear. I went to my friend's room. There were many people in the room. One of them was using the laptop. He left the room and the laptop on the table. Nobody was bothering. So I took his place and use the laptop."
"Can you move a little bit faster. I started to get bored." she interrupted.
"Ok. Then I open a website called Lomegle.com. It was a website where we can chat with random people around the world for free. After 30 minutes, I met a girl. Cute and interesting. She was quite but replied every single question I asked. She gave me her email address. I added her on facebook and then we started to get to know each other. But I did not fell I love with her. I Love you. She was to far from me. She was in Macau where I am here in Malaysia. Even If i love her. How can I meet her?" I stopped when she asked me
"So how do you meet her?"
"Linda, can listen to me? At least for another five minutes?" I asked her.
"Continue" she replied.
" My uncle holds a large share in an financial company. He told me that he can lend me some money to further my studies. I agreed. He send me to studies away from Malaysia. He send me to Macau. Since I know that, I started to contact Puu Yioaw again. She promised to see me when I arrived in the airport. Owh come on Linda. Can you just listen. You know what I spend a lot to see you. Look! look at yourself. Such jealousy. " I was a kind of angry looking at her like that. She were pretending like I am not there
"Your food and drink sir, madam" A waiter interrupted.
"Thank you. Look! You could not even say thank you. Is it so hard?" I said while looking at her. She turned and said
"Since when do you know how say thanks? I know. This is that Puu Or Pui i dont know. It must be her. You change because of her, then you said you never love her?"
and then she left the table and went out of the restaurant. I followed her.
"Linda! Linda! Wait please. Listen, At the airport was our first and last meeting of my first semester. I really meet her on my last day in Macau. She was working in our farewell party, as a waitress . That was the day I learned how to say 'thank you'. On the same day she told me that she LOVE me! AHH! can you stop walking? I am talking to you.!"
"Don't ever yell at me, and stop bullshitting me." She replied furiously, and she turned around and cross the street and sit at a bus stop. I walked slowly. I sat besides her and said
" I refused her. I said that our relationship will never last. We were too far from each other. She smiled, and said that she only have her mother in her life never anyone else. She liked me because I was the only one who smiled at her. Now her mother is dead. She wanted to meet me  She is lonely, and she is my friend. After so many years, why can't I see her.?" I said slowly to Linda. The rain starts. The thunder was roaring. Linda never said a thing. Suddenly, she stand and said
"You can go to meet her. I believe in you. I will be missing you. I hope it wont be long." She stopped saying a word and let her emotion flow with the rythm of the rainy and thundering night.
" I''ll never let you down" I said slowly.
A bus came and she entered it. The bus went away. I walked to my car while thinking about Puu. How will she be when she see me?
Puu was married when I meet her. I felt sad, but satisfied. At least I dont have a reason to remember about her. The memory will remain and my love to Linda will grew and will be always go on."
" WOW! What a story grandpa" Shout Ryan.
"Haha! Thats was the reason how my life started with your grandmother. This is a love of a lifetime child"

The Scrambled Diary

15 MAY 2010
What can a man like me do after what I had passed. Its only the matter of time before I could end my life. I slept in those day of where it starts and only to wake up in the middle of the situation. The situation I could never imagine.

1st MAY 2010
"Everyone may I have your attention please" said the CEO of GloboTech Industries, my boss. He continued

"Thank you. As we all know, today is the day where all Globotechers are celebrating our 50th anniversary. I am so proud to stand here as the CEO of GloboTech Industries for the 20th year after my father Sir Alex Hope had raised an entire GloboTech Industries empire 50 years ago. So, without wasting time I would launch the 50th anniversary party and the Globo Expo"
I really took a very deep breath after he announced it. It was the biggest release ever. Hah! I just did congratulate myself. The party was going so great until boss himself called me
"Patrick, you are going to arrange this same party again next year."
I could not even to believe myself. Haha.. Boss likes my work. Of all happiness, it do come to an end, in an instant. I hear a glass broke. I turn myself to look at boss. Someone fells, and it was boss.

2nd May 2010
A phone call disturb my sleep. Somebody called me, and it was boss. He told me to meet him at the office at 1pm. Then he said softly
"Dont take things seriously."
Than he continued with his normal tone
"Theres nothing for you to be scared about. Its just a matter of security."

I was fooled by him. He waited me in front Dominic's table, Dom is my rival. He said that I drugged him. He fired me in front of everyone. He teased me. Than he threw me like a dog. He gave me the whole file of my work. He said he does'nt want it anymore. Cruel! Can things get any worst? I just get worst, i fell in front of them. All of them laughed at me. Such a loser.
When i reached home,I threw the file under my bed. I slammed on my bed, and I slept. I woke up in the night. Cook some dinner, I mean supper. I turn on the tv. What I get was to know that boss is dead. Shot at the expo at 5pm. Still looking for suspect. Thats all I know.

15 MAY 2010
I could hear my flight is delayed until the next four hour. Good it lets me to think harder, how to solve this problem. God! Why is this happening?

3rdMAY 2010
I slept in front of the tv. I woke up to see I'm in the tv. Does'nt matter. Who cares? Wait a minute, I am the major suspect! What I did wrong. Argghh! This old man ruined my life even after he died. What should I do? I went to the window. I could see a black van. I knew its the police. I packed my stuff, but i thought if i ran away, it will show that i'm guilty. I decided to stay. I went to the kitchen to take some drinks, and i saw people wearing black approaching my house. I ran and went under my bed. I saw the file. I took it and have a look. Its all reciepts and bank statement. There is no such thing as my work. At the last page i founded a note from boss saying
"Patrick i trust you the most. I want you to finish what i started. Go to New Mexico and meet Daniell Alvardo. He will tell you what to do next. If you are reading this and i am dead, that means your time has over. Dont die!"
I swallowed my saliva and i heard a bang! Somebody slammed my room's door. I have no other way. I get out of the bed, ran towards the window and jump out of my house. Those people stars shooting as they see me. I landed on my car that makes me stand up and ran as fast as i can. I dont feel any pain. I found a car by the street. I jump in it, and i start driving. To New Mexico!

15MAY 2010
Hmm.. I smiled to remember how i drive my first stoled car. I changed my looks and the cars look. Just for security. What I can do is smile, while thinking how to do such things without being caught.

5MAY 2010
I'm now in New Mexico. I went to GloboTech Industries there. I met Donny Alvardo. His father is Daniell. Donny's father is dead too. He believe that someone is taking after the company, so they killed almost all the manager for GloboTech Industries that is in other five countries. So they can have the company without any obstecals. Donny gave me a chip. He said that i have to go to other five country that have GloboTech Industries. I have to upload all the data inside the chip to all branches. So the data if stoled, all of the branches can still recover because they have the key of success of GloboTech Industries.
I am wanted by the police and I am going to make a tour to England, Russia, South Africa, China and Malaysia. I went to England by a private jet.

6MAY 2010
 From there I went to Russia by busses and train.

8MAY 2010
I went to Africa by plane. It was a swift journey. I change my identity. My new name Petrov Slazinski.
At the airport, I saw on the news saying that the major suspect was located in Russia. I quickly then went to China.

10MAY 2010
I had a successful journey. I called Donny and tell him that i am going to the last branch at Malaysia.

11MAY
I reached Malaysia. I straight away went to the industrial park near CyberJaya. There I met a women. Ana Zulaikha. She was beautiful. I totally had fell in love with her. She brings me to the computer room where I uploaded all the unknown data. We leave the room together. Then suddenly she was fainted. I realise its a trap. I hide. I get back in the room. I have to defend this chip. I hide where i can see her lying through the cctv. I am so frustrated. Why her? She is not guilty. If they want me why then did not shot me? Thats it! They want the chip and me. They shot her to delay me. They will take me to open the files in this chip to see what is in the chip.
"Sorry boss. You trusted me."
I opened the files in the chip. I can hear they are trying to break the door. I dont care. The chips contain the location of all the money kept by the company. Its amount and everything. I deleted all the files in the chip. I left one file in it. The file not really made by boss, which i dont care of. I slide the chip and said
"leave us! take the chip. I dont want it!"
As I open the door, Ana was not there. They left a note ask me to do one last thing.

12MAY 2010
I started to look for what they want. It took me two days because it hard to be a most wanted criminal in Malaysia. Police are everywhere. I just have to act tourist.

14MAY 2010
I founded those things and released Ana. They urged me to take one last package back to New Mexico. I dont understand, they had burden me much but still they dont satisfied. I accepted the work for Ana. I dont want Ana to be in this mess together with me. They bought me all the ticket and cloth. A new identity again. Call me Zack Rosenberg.

15MAY 2010
Its on tv, everywhere. My face, my name. The police had triple up their security. They know i am here, but they cant see my new identity.
I get it all. I was used by Donny to trade drugs to all those five countries. The chip was real but its just a cover up. It has all the information on drug smuggling.
They sense that i had know the truth. They asked me to bring a bag full of drugs to New Mexico. Thats mean all this death was caused by those who worked under the main culprit, Donny. thats why i was attack when i am here in Malaysia. I told him i'm here.
I will go on. If i'm saved i'll get Donny. If not i'll die. Who cares if i died. I am bad man. Thanks boss for making me 'someone'

THE END

Together

"I'm truly sorry for the lost Carl" said Steven while sitting with Carl on a bench.
Carl smiled and kept his emotion away. He just lost his beloved wive who died in an accident two weeks ago. His wive was pregnant that time, so he lost his present and yet never to meet his future.
"Carl Andrews!" called mother Sophie
Carl and Steven both stood up.
"Its time, my son" said mother Sophie.
They both went into the church to pay their last respect to Maria, Carl's wive.

* * * * *

8.15 p.m. Carl who supposedly to have dinner with Maria went to a coffee house to have his dinner.

"Hey Carl, how are you man? I hope you are just fine. Long time no see." shout Peter as he see Carl, his best friend.

Carl did not gave any responds. He just walked away from Peter. Peter felt different. He went to seat in front of Carl.

"Hey man, whats the matter. I know you feel bad, but we have to let things go. It has been two weeks man. Its not good to mourn this long. You'll be sick. Maria would not be glad if she knows about this." said Peter softly to Carl. Carl stood and said angrily

"She will never know how I feel. You will never know how I feel. Nobody will know! She died in front of me. I could not do a thing! I felt stupid! I felt irresponsible."

"Well its not your fault or her fault or my fault. We cannot stop death. Everyone will die Carl. I'm giving you some advice. I want to see you live. Let the dead be!" Peter replied with the same tone.

"She wan not just dead, but murdered!" shout Carl. Then he grabbed his coat and leave.

That leaves a thousand question to Peter. As what Peter knows, Maria died in an accident when she was on the way home. In that time she was with a man, her office mate. She had in coma for a day. When she was awake, she could talk and even smile. But suddenly her heartbeat began to slow. She was fainted and died 2 hours after that in front of Carl. Peter just believe that was the thing that Carl was thinking about these whole time. Carl who was the one who urges an operation to detect the causes of the death. But the answer was just clogged blood in the arteries due to internal injury. That results does not satisfy Carl. He is still looking for the answers.

* * * * *

Carl sat on his chair, alone thinking of nothing when suddenly he heard someone knocking. He went to the door and open it and it was Melinda.

"Hi Carl, am I  bothering you? says Melinda

"No, no. Not at all. Whats the matter? Anything important?" Carl answered.

"Its hard but I have to get this to you. My boss and Maria's boss too, he is having a party this weekend. The whole office is coming and they ask if you can join us too.If you are willing. Ohh! This is the card. The venue is in Clara Hill. Hope to see you there. Bye." Melinda left so that Carl would never had a chance to say anything. At her car she screamed

"By the way, my husband, Peter said thats he was so sorry"

"Me too" Answered Carl and he shut the door.

The day has come and finally Carl really went to the party. Maria's boss greet him. All of Maria's co-workers expressed their feeling how bad they felt with the lost.

"We've has come so far, and from this very moment I am telling you that our company had a total of 75%  profit for year 2010. Congratulations everyone" The boss's speech for all the guest.

Carl smiled and think how happy Maria will be if she was here.

"But with all happiness we share, we encountered the most sad moment in this company when we lost Maria Andrews. She alongside Steven and Eva had helped in the promotion of our products. A big thanks to Maria and also her husband who came and share a little time with us." continue the boss.

Carl just smile. Thats the best he can do.

Its almost 12am and Carl is still waiting for Melinda and Peter. He wanted to say something to them, but they were still chatting with the boss. Suddenly he felt like the ground is shaking. He saw the light blipping, the water spills by itself and then he heard people cried "Landslide!"

He ran to save himself. He saw Steven in from of him and then he falls. Carl tried to save Stevens, but it was too late. Everything turns dark. It makes Carl to feel that he is dead.

* * * * *

Carl could hear the sound of people calling for help.

"Who's there? Can somebody hear me" Carl shouted.

The sound stops and suddenly it replied.

"Carl is that you? Carl its me Steven. Thank goodness you are here. It been an hour we are trapped under this thing."

Carl did not replied.

"Carl!"Steven shouts

"Yes I am here. You dont have to say anything to me. We are trapped down here. We need air to breath. Just use the air to breath. Stop talking" Replied Carl.

Steven did not say any word. Both of them remains silent until they could hear sounds of a helicopter.

"Yes. we are going to be rescued. Carl can you hear that? We will be safe. Right Carl?" said Stevens happily.

Carl does'nt reply. Steven was worried of Carl. He was afraid if something happened to Carl. He Shouted for Carl so much.

"Will you be quite. I am here. I told you not to talk.I dont care whether i am rescued or not. Theres no point for me to live. Maria was dead. I have no family no nothing. I dont have a thing." Carl spoked with emotion.

"Carl I have something to talk to you about Maria. I dont mind if you does'nt want to hear it." Steven said softly.

Carl do not respond. Steven continued

"I really wanted to tell you this at the church but I figured it out that it was not the best time. I tried to find the best time but I could'nt. Maybe god arrange this so I can speak the truth. Actually I was with Maria, on the car when we had the accident. We had an argument. She was so mad at me. She was really mad at me. She was on a hurry. She was coming for you to say the truth we both held together. She was pregnant because of me. That was my child. Even She was clueless when the doctor said so. But really it was going to be my child. I dont kill her. She was so emotional and she just let the car move by her emotion. Carl I Am VERY-VERY SORRY."

Carl did not said anything but he cried even more to hear such a thing. The person he loved the most had done such awfull things to him.

After 6 hour trapped under the earth, Carl was found by the rescuers alive. But Steven was found dead. He could not breath because there was no air to breath. Three people was dead in the tragedy. One of them was also Peter, Carl's best friend. He met peter by Maria, now both of them are gone.

Carl could not accept the reality until one day Melinda came to tell that once she was also pregnant by some other guy. In that time she was engaged with Peter. Peter knew that things, but he kept his will to still love Melinda and once said "I dont care what were you or how bad were you as long as you love me, I'll love you and we are together"

Carl took Melinda's experience as his medicine to fix whatever was wrong from his past. He forgive Maria And Stevens and accept that everything was a mistake and Maria was not given the time to ask for forgiveness from him. He was so happy to remember that once they had live together

THE END

Time- Part 1

Terdengar jeritan yang kuat. Aku yakin itulah dia.

"Mak, Abg mak!" kataku.

"Ya mak tahu sayang" Jawab mak dalam nada yang sayu.

"Kenapa dengan abang mak?"tanyaku.

"Abang sakit nak. Abang sakit"jawab mak sambil mengesat airmatanya.

* * * * *

Itulah kali terakhir aku mendengar suara abang. Abang dimasukkan ke hospital mental. Dah 20 tahun berlalu. Sampai hari ini aku tak tahu kenapa dia dimasukkan ke hospital itu. Minggu lepas aku telah mendapat sepucuk surat menyatakan bahawa abang akan bebas dari tuduhan bunuh esok. Semua berlalu dengan pantas. Aku tak pernah melawat abang. Aku tak tahu mengapa dia tidak mahu berjumpa dengan aku , semenjak dia dimasukkan ke penjara 12 tahun lepas.. Fuhh! Maknanya abang duduk dalam hospital itu selama lapan tahun. Kata doktor proses pemulihan itu berjalan secara tersembunyi. Lapan tahun.. hmmm.. tak masuk akal.

Aku menunggu abang dihadapan pintu besi penjara. Aku nak dia tahu yang aku masih ingatkan dia. Aku sayangkan dia. Sebab itulah pesan mak aku sebelum mak meninggal dunia 11 tahun lalu. Mak sahaja yang pernah berjumpa abang sebaik sahaja abang dipindahkan ke penjara. 9.15 minit pagi, aku ternapak satu wajah yang aku sanagat kenali. Abang. Aku berjalan dengan penuh berdebar kearah dia. Aku menyapa dia.

"Abang.."

Dia memandang kasar. Lalu tersenyum.

"Ingat lagi kau dengan aku ya?" Jawab abang.

Aku tersenyum sambil berkata

"Jom Kita balik bang."

Aku dan abang terus ke kereta aku yang terletak berhampiran. Aku terus memandu untuk cepat pulang ke rumah bersama abang. Abang memulakan perbualan.

"Mak sakit apa sebelum meninggal?"

"Sakit jantung bang."jawab ku

"Owh. Kau ni tak takut ke bawak abang balik rumah ni? Abang ni bukan betul sangat pun, Haha" kata abang dengan nada sinis

"Apa nak jadi pun  jadilah" jawab aku.

Abang meminta aku memberhentikan kereta di bahu jalan. Setelah berhenti, apa yang ak ingat abang ingin menumbuk ku dan segalanya berubah menjadi gelap.

* * * * *

"Saya dekat mana ni abang" tanya aku

"Dekat disko. Kau ni bodoh ke apa? Da banyak pokok ni, dekat hutan lah. Aku bawak kau kat sini supaya aku dapat tamatkan segala pertanyaan dalam hidup kau. Kenapa aku masuk ke hospital gila? Kenapa aku bunuh orang tu? Kenapa semua ni terjadi? Kau nak tahu kenapa?" jawab abang dengan marah.

"Kenapa? Jawablah" jeritku.

"Jawapannya.. KAU!!" jawab abang dan lalu pergi membiarkan aku seorang diri.

Aku? Apa salah aku? Kenapa semua tu berlaku kerana aku? Apa yang aku dah lakukan? Aku menangis. Aku yang diikat tak terdaya melakukan apa-apa. Aku menjerit sekuat hati aku. Abang lepaskan saya! Bayangkan perasaanku. Aku yang meronta-meronta akhirnya hanya mampu duduk, di biarkan diikat, berserah. dan lalu hilang dalam lena apabila hari sudah semakin gelap.

Aku tersedar apabila aku menyedari kehadiran sesuatu. Aku terdengar bunyi benda bergerak. Aku berpura-pura tidur. Aku kaku. Rupa-rupanya itu abang. Tiba-tiba abang bersuara

"adik, abang nak beritahu, sebenarnya adiklah punca abang membubuh orang itu. Adik sangat istimewa. Adik boleh melakukan perkara yang abang sendiri tidak boleh lakukan. Hanya abang dan ibu sahaja mengetahui perkara ini. Abang berpura-pura jadi gila supaya abang tidak dikenakan hukuman yabg berat. Ibu pula jatuh sakit apabila Ibu tahu bahawa abang tidak lagi boleh menyembunyikan  perkara ini. Mungkin Ibu risau atas keselamatan adik dan akhirnya meninggal dunia. Apa yang abang tahu, Ibu pernah bersetuju untuk mrnjadikan adik sebagai bahan ujikaji pihak tertentu untuk melahirkan manusia generasi baru yang lebih dinamik, manusia yang jauh lebih baik darikpada manusia lain. Dalam ramai-ramai. adik sahaja yang berjaya dilahirkan. Hari ini adik menjadi tanggungjawab abang. Abang harus menjaga adik daripada orang-orang yang tidak berguna itu. Abang harap adik Faham."

Aku menangis kesedihan. Mengapa aku? Apa-apapun hidup harus diteruskan. Aku akan ikut abang dan aku akan selesaikan segala masalah ini dengan cara yang terbaik.

"Abang, apapun terjadi kita akan terus bersama. Saya tidak akan berhenti untuk mencari jawapan kepada semua masalah ini bang.." kataku bersemangat.

Abang tersenyum dan terus mengahmpiriku. Tiba-tiba aku terdengar satu letupan dan kemudian abang rebah. Aku terperanjat melihat abang. Aku melihat ramai orang yang berpakaian seumpama tentera elit menuju ke arah aku. Adakah ini oarng yang abang cakapkan tadi? Segalanya berubah menjadi perlahan. Aku mendengar degupan jantungku bedegup kencang. Penglihatan aku menjadi kabur. Apa yang sedang terjadi pada aku?

BERSAMBUNG

Pain

I was alone in the woods. Looking for things to eat. Wondering about my life. Owh god! Help me. I was so deep in my thought.  How can I live here? I whisper in my heart. Tears rolling down. What a pain. What I expected to have a journey with ease can come to me after I left my loved ones, was just a dreadful fantasy. That had slaughter my future and their future. What a shame. A man ran away. Coward. Fool. I screamed, and it was a mistake.Then things becomes blurry. I can see a thing. Bright. I can hear its sound. Roaring. I can see its moving towards me. I can feel i am falling and it is on me.Holding. I can feel its teeth inside my skin. But I don't feel any pain. I am closing my eyes and I hear a bang! I heard voices. I am smiling and my eyes closed.

* * * * *

I can feel the breeze of the ocean. I'm home.

"Father.. Mother.. Where are you?" I shouted.

"What is it son? Whats the tension?" father asked.

"Father.. owh.. I was missing you so much.. I cannot live without my parents." I said softly. Crying.

"What happened to you? You look like that you had a nightmare. What sort of nightmare? Haha." my father said with a laugh.

I hugged him and he hugged me back.

"Son, I will do anything ti change your life" he said while hugging me

"Father, I will do everything to change our life." I replied

Then father hold my arm and said

"Promise me you would not be a fisherman like me"

"Yes father, I promise" I answered emotionally.

He added 

"I you want to be a fisherman, be a better one. Haha." He laugh and carve a smile on my face.

"Why are looking at the ocean and Where is mother?"I asked, suddenly.

"I am going for work. Predicting the weather. Mother. She went to the store to buy some things. She asked me to go for work early and come back home early." He answered.

"Owh, is it.? So that means I can follow you today. Please dad. I am so boring. Please" I begged.

"Alright then." He answered with a smile.

* * * * *

I sat on the boat. Alone. I was looking at the ocean. Peaceful. Why god creates such a place? One of it, is for this reason. A place where thoughts can fly freely. A place where mind could rest. A place where our heart can sing. Freely. It was almost dark. Father is going back to the shore. He is with Uncle Limbok, A native and uncle Hasan, his best colleagues. I was in the cabin when suddenly Uncle Hasan summoned me. He told there is going to be a heavy storm moving towards us. He asked me to stay in the cabin until someone called me. I asked for father, Uncle Hasan tell me that my father in steering the boat. About 15 minutes after that, I could feel the boat was moving the way a boat should not move. It freaks me out. Then I heard someones shouting my name. I go straight to the voice. It Is father. He said, I am going to live but not them. He gave me a life jacket and said that i have to swim to shore and live to take care of mom. He hugged me and said

"I love you, I love your mother but what I want is for you to live and move on. Do not stop." 

He smiled and push me to the ocean. I can feel the pain. Leaving him there was not a good deed of me. I swim to make him happy then i heard a very loud bang! I turn to see. The boat explode with my father on it. I swim faster. This is his last wish. So no point to give up. I really end up at the shore. Some people helped me.  Then I opened my eyes I saw mom 's tears. Crying for me.

"What happend?" I asked

Mom is so exited to hear me. She called the doctor. Then she tell everything. I was attacked by a tiger in the woods when I tried to ran away from her when I almost failed in my exam. I went to sleep in the cave where my father always bring me five years ago.
 Father died last year due to an accident. What I just did was not my father's way to overcome problems. The pain of a failure is much-much lighter then the pain of a lost. That pain thought me how my mother would feel if I died. That pain give me a hope, not to give up. Thank you dad for showing me when to live and when to die.

THE END
