《Misteri Tuala Wanita》BAB 9
Advertisement
Seorang gadis yang berumur 17 tahun mati dibunuh oleh samseng di Jalan Mutiara, Kuala Selangor baru-baru ini. Datin Salina atau ibu kepada mangsa mengatakan dia menerima panggilan tersebut daripada penjahat itu meminta wang tebusan sebanyak lima juta....
Berita itu sangat menghampakan empat orang sehabat itu. Mereka menangis kerana mereka, arwah telah mati dibunuh. Mereka tidak berhenti mempersalahkan sesama sendiri. Arwah selamat dikebumikan disebelah kubur ayah kandungnya.
"Wei, kenapa dengan Lisa? badan dia lemah semacam" soal Dang. Hari ini, mereka melawat temannya itu kerana ibu Lisa mengatakan yang anaknya demam panas tetapi penyakit temannya itu berlainan dari biasa. Badannya kurus, dan menampakkan tulang-tulang. Mereka pelik. Lisa kuat makan walaupun demam, tak silapnya tetapi kali ni sumpah mereka terkejut Lisa dalam keadaan muka cengkung. Senang cerita, macam mayat hidup.
Petang itu, ibu Lisa atau lebih dikenali sebagai Cik Zila menjemput ustaz dari kampung sebelah untuk merawat anaknya. Ustaz memulakan pembacaan doa untuk anak perempuannya... dia tersentak.
"Anak awak dihantui, bukannya kerana demam"
"Maksud ustaz?"
"Dia ada buat masalah dan menyebabkan makhluk tu ganggunya"
"Ustaz nak kata yang anak saya membawa sial?"
"Bukan macam tu.... maksud saya anak puan disetubuhi oleh makhluk itu!"
Cik Zila mengucap panjang. Tidak sangka dia benda ini berlaku dalam keterunannya. Dia meraih muka, dan tunduk. Tidak tahu apa yang patut dilakukan. Dia jadi buntu. Lisa anak perempuannya yang keenam daripada lapan adik beradik. Dia sangat manja walaupun sudah berumur panjang...
"Ustaz boleh ubatkan anak saya?"
"Insya-Allah, saya cuba!"
Ustaz meminta dua botol air mineral dan beberapa limau nipis untuk merawat. Dia membaca beberapa surah untuk membakar makhluk itu dan hembuskan ke dalam air. Selepas selesai, dia meminta untuk perempuan itu memberi minum dan mandikan anaknya dengan bahan yang baru dia dijampi dengan ayat Al-Quran. Kita mencuba, dan tentuannya ialah Allah. Insya-Allah, selamat!
"Aku dapat rasakan benda berlaku atas sebab Lisa membawa masalah dekat bukit tu!" Dang memulakan bicara selepas mereka melawat temannya yang sakit teruk.

"Aku tak dapat rasa sebab aku lapar"
"Kau pun Qilah, kalau dah benci pun jangan sampailah teruk sangat. Dia kawan kita juga sial! Jangan bawa masalah lain pulak! ergh" balas Lena. Marah dengan sikap Qilah yang selalu sengaja mencari maut. Aku sumbat dengan cili baru tahu! biar dia rasa!
Keadaan kembali senyap. Dang memandu dengan tenang, malam ni mereka akan pulang ke rumah masing-masing. Aktiviti selepas spm yang mereka cadangkan selama ni terbubar begitu sahaja. Sedih dengan perkara berlaku. Ain sudah meninggal dunia pada usia yang muda, mereka kesal dengan perbuatan mereka yang melulu menelefon polis tetapi perkara dah pun berlaku. Akhirnya bilangan mereka dari lima menjadi empat, tapi mengenang nasib Lisa yang sakit tanpa tidak tahu penyakit sebenar. Mereka menghembus nafas berat... adakah Lisa akan tinggalkan mereka juga?

8 125Aethernum—Cradle of Yore
Diary Number 999, year I-don't-care, location home. Parenting. Of all I've found clear answers except for this most mundane topic. And not for the lack of trying. My library, so humongous my good friends told me one after the other there is no book it doesn't contain helped little. There are crumbling tomes of ancient magic, vocabularies depicting the evolution of the magical language itself, grimoires and holy bibles of cults long past, rows and rows filled with scrolls bearing the efforts of my magical research, contracts, diaries, letters and more. But parenting? There was none. Yet a struggle nearly every member of the Races is not foreign to. I...must have lived under a rock. Across aeons no less. What a humbling revelation.
