Pagi-pagi macamni kau buat hal! Mana jam aku? Aku letak atas meja ni tadi! Jangan buat hal, aku dah lambat ni nak gi sekolah! Jammmmmm! jerit Lena dalam hati. Pooonggggg! ibu dah bagi hon. Alamak! biarkanlah! Kebiasaannya, pagi-pagi dia pergi dengan ibu dan balik dengan menumpang kawan-kawannya. Rutin hariannya bila ke sekolah, nak tunggang motor ayahnya pula nanti kena marah sebab motor terlalu risiko. Nasib ayah tak bagi aku bawa motor, aku penakut kot.
Kesesakan lalu lintas depan sekolah memang sibuk bila jarum jam dah menunjukkan pukul 7.15! Sah! memang susah aku nak melintas.
Sampai sahaja di sekolah, ibu berhentikan kereta di seberang jalan. Ibu selalu memesanku ketika melintas harus membaca bismillah dan okay, nasib aku hari ini... Alhamdulillah! Pro dah sekarang melintas jalan tapi dulu terketaq-ketaq baq ang! Laungan Cikgu Azmi sudah kedengaran di mikrofon. Cikgu disiplin sekolah kami, kebiasaannya hari-hari biasa macam ni memang dia jadi pengucara majlis perhimpunan. Aku memperlajukan langkah kakiku, tak nak disahkan datang lewat. Nanti teruk rekod disiplin aku! Aku beratur ikut belakang, dan nampak teman-temanku yang lain. Aku perasan yang Qilah belum datang, kerisauan aku mula menyerbu. Kenapa dia tak datang? Masalah apa kali ni? Exam dah nak dekat ni saitan! rungut aku dalam hati.
Akhirnya tamat sesi persekolahan. "Yeay! jom balik!" laungan Lisa dari belakang menyebabkan aku tersentak. Seharian di sekolah hari ini aku lebih banyak termenung. Aku memikirkan Qilah. Dia tak sihat ke? Tapi dia kata dia selamat sampai rumah semalam. Betul ke? Aku memicitkan kepalaku yang sedikit berdenyut. Semalam tengok anime kot, yaoi for life! kah!
"Wei, jom gi rumah Qilah. Leh tak dang?" pinta aku seraya mengejutkan Dang. Dahi si Dang berkerut. Pelik agaknya! Aku tak kisah, sekarang ni aku nak tahu keadaan minah tu. Kami ke rumahnya yang tidak beberapa jauh dengan sekolah, kami memberi salam dan alhamdulillah salam kami dijawab. Aku nampak mamanya, dia menjemput aku masuk ke dalam rumah. Mamanya meminta diri untuk ke dapur, tapi dihalang oleh aku. Kami datang nak melawat anaknya itu pun sekejap sahaja. Kami menuju ke bilik Qilah, dia berbaring lesu.

"Kau dah kenapa baring?" "Kau sakit ke?" "Kau selamat ke sampai ke rumah semalam?" "Asal pucat muka kau?" pertanyaan aku dibalas dengan senyuman. Aku tanya ni, jawablah. Senyum buat apa macam lah cantik!
"Aku kena kacau!" balas Qilah sambil memandang aku. Lesu...
"Kau kena kacau dengan apa?" tanya Dang. hampir lupa aku yang minah ni datang sekali. Nasib berbunyi, kalau tak memang sumpah aku tak tahu kewujudan minah ni.
"Dengan si Nek Salmah, pagi-pagi dah sedar aku terbaring dalam rumah tanpa tukar pakaian semalam. Sumpah semalam aku tak ingat apa-apa" jelas Qilah sambil minum air. Dahaga kali...
"Gila! sumpah gila! Tak apalah, asalkan kau selamat. Esok datang sekolah eh!" aku mengucap syukur sebab teman aku selamat. Kwang ajaq Nek Salmah dia main-mainkan teman aku! Eeeeee nak kena ajar orang tua ni. Hmmm..
Pejam celik, pejam celik tiba masa untuk peperangan untuk pelajar tingkatan lima dengan peperiksaan yang menentukan masa cerah seseorang. Penentuan memang dari Ilahi, peperiksaan sekadar ujian untuk penentuan antara kita melanjutkan pelajaran ataupun terus dengan kerjaya. Tetapi sekarang, pelajar selalu menimba ilmu lalu memuntahkan di dewan peperiksaan dan ilmu itu hanya sekadar mengingati di hari yang memerlukan. Jika tidak digunakan, dilempar jauh!
Sepanjang peperiksaan berlangsung, mujur tiada apa yang teruk berlaku di kampung kami. Jadi, bolehlah kami bangun malam untuk belajar dan beribadat dengan tenang tanpa ada gangguan. Hanya sekadar mendengar dari buah mulut orang sahaja, yang selalu mereka-reka akan cerita tentang kewujudan pontianak. Mulut orang, memang tak boleh nak tutup!
Alhamdulillah, kertas last untuk kelas kami sudah pun lepas. Kami mengucapkan syukur, dan bersalaman dengan cikgu yang mengajar kerana banyak berjasa dan sabar melayan karenah 5 Salasah. Sebelum pulang ke rumah, kami sempat bergambar bersama dan kebetulan time tu viral dengan Mannequin Challenge jadi kami pun apa lagi? terikut sama lah buat. Boleh tahan comel semuanya kaku!

Keesokannya, kami berlima melepak di pantai. Petang-petang memang best melepak di tempat berangin yang menusuk kalbu dan petang itu ramai sungguh berkelah di pantai. Cuti dah nak dekat, memanglah ramai balik ke kampung spend time dengan family. Setelah banyak bercakap tentang gosip hangat di sekolah, Lisa bercadang untuk mendaki di Bukit Ambarning. Kami terpampam, dah lah dia tu penakut pastu bercadang nak pergi tempat keras macam tu. Kami pelik, buat hal ke apa minah ni? Walaupun berkeras hati, setelah pujuk rayu dari Lisa. Kami melayankan juga dan tiba-tiba rasa tidak sabar! Bukit Ambarning, kau tunggu kami datang!
Semua penduduk kampung tahu, bukit tu keras termasuklah keluarga kami. Jadi, mengelakkan mereka tahu jadi kami terpaksa tipu sunat. Yelah! kalau cakap benar memang tak sah tak bagi. Macam biasa, Qilah angkut kami. Dia pandai pandu kereta, dan kereta tu pun kereta ayah dia bagi kat dia! orang kaya kan... minta je, dapat selalu! tapi nasib dia tak jenis show off. Selalu je rendah diri, aagitu!
"Aku dapat rasa yang kali ni sumpah adventure gila!" kata Ain. Bersungguh!
"Siapa datang bulan sekarang?" tanya Lena tiba-tiba.
Kami senyap, mungkin semua boleh solat. Sebelum ke destinasi, kami singgah di warung berdekatan untuk mengisi perut. Nak mendaki, kenalah bertenaga! Selepas menjamu selera, kami berhenti di kedai runcit untuk beli beberapa alat seperti parang, alatan kecemasan takut sesiapa yang cedera dan lain-lain. Bila barang dah cukup lengkap, kami bertolak ke Bukit Ambarning. Langit pada hari itu sedikit mendung tapi bila sampai ke sana. Suasana gelap seperti waktu senja, mungkin pokok-pokok di situ terlalu tinggi dan besar. Itulah kot sebabnya, positif thinking!
Kami dikejutkan dengan bunyi dering dari telefon Lena. Tentera nama 'Naskiy Sonaly' terpapar di skrin telefon! Oih, minah ni nak apa?
"Kau dekat mana sekarang?" tanya si dia di talian.
"Aku dekat kampung. Kenapa?" jawab Lena selamba.
"Oh, aku nak ke rumah kau tapi dah kau kat kampung jadi okaylah bye!" terus dia tutup panggilan dan buat Lena terpinga-pinga. Aik? camtu je ke?!
Sebelum masuk ke dalam hutan berbukit ini, mereka membaca doa untuk pelindungan diri. Mereka diketuai oleh Dang, sebab Dang fasih dengan segala lengkok-lengkok jalan hutan. Ayahnya yang ajar. Masuk ke hutan, seseorang hendaklah tukar namanya dengan panggilan yang lain. Bila panggil nama sebenar, benda lain yang menyahut! Hati-hati!
"Kita berehat kat sini dahulu!" arah Dang, supaya mereka mengisi tenaga. Bila lihat dari jauh, bukit ini seolah-olah tingginya tak melampau. Bila didaki, seperti Gunung Everest! Dang melihat teman-temannya yang sudah kepenatan. Kalau dah penat, memang apa yang berlaku sudah dihiraukan tapi tidakkan Dang. Dia masih bertenaga kerana staminanya yang tinggi.. dia melihat seorang demi seorang wajah temannya. Macam tidak cukup seorang...
Eh? Mana Ain?!

[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License. For those unfamiliar with my writing style, Second Chances was my first attempt at writing. I'm not sure how much I learned in the process, except that readers get angry when you mess with characters they like! Warnings - I tend to info dump. I know I do this, I like slice of life novels that take time to unfold. So don't expect action, murder, and battles in every chapter, it isn't going to happen I prefer the first-person narrative. I will do an occasional POV shift, but it will never be done mid-chapter. I hope you enjoy the story, comments, ratings, and favorites are greatly appreciated!

QQQQ
Have you ever noticed that the letter Q is unnecessary? It doesn't provide any function to the language. Any word spelled with it could just as easily be spelled with other letters. Does that mean it shouldn't exist? Of course not. In this universe, everything has a place. Cosmic balance, Karma, God's plan, the laws of physics—they're all trying to describe the same thing. There is nothing that exists without purpose, and nothing without purpose that can exist. You can take solace in knowing that, just like the useless letter Q, you have birthright to exist in this world. Nothing can take that from you. Unless a creator God breeds technicolor angel-beasts hellbent on ripping you out of reality, of course. When Mina learns that she was a cosmic accident—a being accidentally created without purpose—what was once an easygoing life starts to entwine with conspiracies, impossible occurrences, and deadly occult mysteries. Not to mention friends so dangerous and unpredictable they make the cosmic horrors look normal by comparison. When the questions never stop piling up, it's hard to know where to begin. But I'll give you a hint: they all begin with a Q.
