《Koleksi Seram》Kuaters
Advertisement
Pernah rasai tinggal di kuaters? Best? Ya, mula-mula memang best. Tapi lama-lama...
Bondaku seorang guru di Sekolah Rendah Taman Melawati, dan kawasan sekolah itu berdekatan dengan kuaters dulunya hutan sekarang mereka bina untuk guru-guru. Jadi, orang memanggilnya Kuaters Guru. Kebetulan rumah kami berdekatan dengan kuaters tersebut. Kami memilih di tingkat satu. Kuaters itu mempunyai Blok A dan B, empat tingkat untuk satu bangunan dan dua rumah berhadapan sesama sendiri. Semakin lama, kuaters itu dipenuhi guru yang lain. Keluarga kawan baikku juga turut pindah di situ. Mereka tinggal di tingkat empat dan berada di Blok B. Sekali aku pandang ke atas, pasti aku akan melihat temanku itu. Sibuk bermain anak patung bersama adiknya, Amirah di beranda tanpa memakai tudung. Tinggal di atas memang best! angin sempoi tapi tak laratlah hari-hari berulang naik turun, naik turun. Fuh! semput sial!
Hari jumaat, hari minggu. Macam biasa, semua ada di rumah. Ayah pun tak bekerja hari ini. Waktu tengahari, sibuk ayah menolong ibu menumbuk belancan menggunakan lesung. Kami terdengar bunyi tumbukan yang sama. Mungkin dari tingkat dua, tapi masalahnya orang yang rumah ditingkat dua tidak berpenghuni. Untuk pengetahuan semua, guru-guru boleh memilih rumah samada nak tinggal disini ataupun di mana-mana.
"Nak berlawan dengan aku ya?" jerit ayah.
Aku masih mentah, tidak tahu apa yang dikatakan ayah. Ayah menumbuk sekali, dia membalas. Ya, berlawan dengan syaitan. Akhirnya, makhluk tu senyap. Belacan sudah lumat ditumbuk ayah. Kalau ditumbuk lesung, mana tak lumatnya kang?
Itu permulaan.
Kemudian, kami makan tengahari bersama. Best, sebab bonda masak ayam masak merah kegemaran aku. Perlahap sekali aku makan macam persis hantu raya yang makan ayam, orang minyak meratah badan anak dara. Sorry kalau perumpaan aku kotor tapi macam tu lah aku. Masa kecil, aku ulang. Masa kecil!
Malam tu, kami tidak boleh tetidur. Aku tidur sekeluarga sebab aku jenis yang penakut. Bunyi dari tingkat dua atasku seperti orang main guli dan tarik kerusi. Kuat sangat bunyi sampaikan teman ibuku menelefon dan bertanya "kau dengar tak?" bondaku membalas "Ya, aku dengar"

Aku tidak tahu apa-apa hanya terkebil-kebil melihat bondaku. Mungkin bagi aku, orang bermain guli dan alih kerusi pada waktu malam. Sekadar kebiasaan tapi sekarang dah tak okay! Satu kuaters kecoh pagi tu dengan bunyi guli dan macam-macam lagi. Aku dan temanku yang lain. Sibuk bermain di taman. Oh, taman? yes, kuaters kami ada teman. Kawan sekuaters ku pernah terkena dek makhluk tu.
Mujahid namanya, tua setahun daripadaku. Dia bersendirian di taman, bermain buaian sampai tidak sedarkan diri. Tiba-tiba seorang melihatnya mengayunkan buaian terlalu tinggi. Kebiasaannya, rendah sahaja. Tapi kali ni tingginya hingga mencecah batang buaian. Mujahid tersedar dan tiba-tiba dia pengsan sampai tidak sedarkan diri. Kata ibunya, yang mengayunkan dia ialah makhluk halus sebab tu tinggi semacam. Ish, naik seriau aku! pundek ah!
Lama kelamaan, makhluk tu selalu mengacau kami. Tempat dia, memang dia marah. Ibu tiada pilihan selain menjemput ustaz untuk memagar kawasan kuaters itu dari dikacau. Tapi, sekali ustaz itu melangkah dia mengundur. Kata ustaz itu, makhluk besar menghalangnya. Jadi, dia pulang tanpa langsung merawat kuaters itu.
Mengeluh juga kami kerana satu kuaters kot kena kacau. Marah betul dia!
***
Aku dahaga, sangat dahaga. Kali ni aku tidur bilik lain bersama dengan adikku. Nak ke dapur, yes memang takut. Aku dahaga gila sampaikan takut aku. Aku buang jauh-jauh!
Dapur tiadalah jauh sangat, cuma laluan ke dapur tu pasti akan terlintas melihat ke bilik hujung. Gelap sial!
Okay, sampai je dapur. Aku teguk air dengan rangkusnya. Nasib dapur sudah terpasang lampu, biasanya ibu tutup. Asyik minum, telinga aku mendengar suara orang mengaji.
"Siapa mengaji dalan pukul tiga pagi weh!" gertak aku dalam hati. Nak kata ibu bangun mengaji tapi tak sebab aku dengar arah sini. Ya, dari bilik hujung! Dah lah gelap! Siot!
Aku tak tahu surah apa, cuma dengar orang mengaji. Dulu nenek aku tidur di bilik hujung, dan mengaji setiap malam dan pagi. Sekarang dia berada di rumah anaknya yang lain. Terketar-ketar aku minum air, dan habis je aku terus mengentuk pintu bilik ibu. Cepat je ibu buka. Alhamdulillah! Tapi bila difikirkan balik... takkan malaikat?
... dan sekali lagi. Aku tidur dengan ibu. Takut babi! Sampai sekarang aku ingat. Gila huh!

The Ordinary Life of Tom Nobody
[participant in the 2018 NaNoWriMo Royal Road challenge] The Ordinary Life of Tom Nobody is a LitRPG system story where each person transitions into the system, or SCHEMA as this system is known, innocent and unaware of his former life. Following the tutorial, memories return, but by this point, each person has a better chance of accepting their new world. It also gives them an opportunity to start from scratch, fresh without all the baggage of their former lives dictating their decisions in the early stages of the process. I don’t expect this will necessarily turn into an action-packed heroic tale, my intent is to create a character who wants to have just an ordinary, but reasonably comfortable life. I don’t know myself how well he will succeed, there may be twists and Tom may discover some heroism hidden deep inside. I guess we’ll find out together. This is my first writing attempt. I’ve wanted to write all my life, but I’ve never been able to develop the proper discipline to put in the work. I hope I complete the challenge and work my way past this hump. I am writing this as part of the NaNoWriMo Royal Road Challenge. While I will try to self-edit as I go, the challenge requires close to 2,000 words a day, so parts of the story may be rough, and things like plot lines may not make as much sense as any of us would like. If all goes well, and I complete the challenge, I plan on going back through everything and trying to polish it up. In the meanwhile, thank you for reading and I hope I don’t disappoint.

In a world where the paranormal is the norm, and your bus driver is a weretiger. Beings in every nook and ass crack of lore are real. Countless species coexisting in a haven called Geas. Divided into three big ruling councils: Mana for the magics, Spectra for the undead and Were for the shifters. But to keep Geas a Haven, there must be a higher presence that enforces it. The Heralia. A being with mixed blood, of great power and the mouthpiece of the gods. Along with his enforcers The Order, the Heralia is the police and the law, the gel of a dangerous society but when the assassination of the century leaves the Heralia dead. A rippling political tide washes throughout Geas, which left everyone wondering just who will be the next Heralia?

Argus’ is happy with his life, even though he doesn’t have any powers or abilities like most of his friends or any money, okay so maybe not that happy. He was left at the step of a shifter temple when he was a child, so that sucked since he must have been a sexy lookin’ baby. Raised by an adoptive shifter mom, that makes the best cookies and gives the warmest hugs and unleashes the sharpest sass a being can wield, and oh, is also the high priestess of the Were Council. He lived his life surrounded by nuns, he was spoilt and gobbled all that attention up and he’s not ashamed to admit it. One day, innocently doing a psychology exam, like pro, if you will, a weird rainbow mist starts gushing out of his skin, for the lack of a better word and suddenly he is floating, then seizing, yup still in mid-air, in the middle of his exuding rainbow aura session, a voice booms out like a missive from the gods themselves, “AWAKEN MY HERALIA”. Sweet baby sugar nuts, what just happened? Join Argus in his journey in becoming the next Heralia, which will be jam-packed with snark, some sarcasm, interesting friends, a dash of heroism, a bit of hubba bubba wink wink nudge nudge with a special friend and an ass crack full of awesome. Readers discretion advised, for readers under 18, strong language and some sexual scenes.
