"Apa tu bu?" Evi bertanya. Aku mengambil langkah untuk tidak bercakap banyak, cuma sekadar menjawab, 'tak de apa, ubat je'. aku dok sibuk meletak garam bukit yang telah dititiskan dgn minyak essential ramuan rahsia dengan bau yang cukup semerbak dalam bilik nye. jee pesan, letak dalam bilik dia and places of work, the kitchen especially. selang tak sampai beberapa minit, aku masih lagi di dapur, Evi datang berlari padaku, 'Bu, bau ni busuk la. kenapa ya saya rasa pening?' Bu, saya takut...ada benda hitam nak masuk badan saya...dan seketika itu juga, Evi rebah. aku hanya sempat menyambut tubuhnya daripada rebah ke lantai dan terus memangku Evi. AAAhhh...sudah....'Ayah!' (panggilan manja kepada my hb), Evi pengsan!. Ayah datang berlari ke dapur, dengan muka yang equally panic. kenapa pengsan? hb tanya. mana i tau. apa nak buat ni? hb tanya lagi macam la aku tahu. 'Evi....Evi...bangun...aku cuba tepuk-tepuk mukanye', masih pejam. badannye stiff and no reflex. Adoiyai...aku memang panik. dalam kepala hotak dok pikir, apa nak buat ni. ni anak orang ni....if anything should happen to her, police report, immigration papers, cant go to work, anak2 sekolah.....damn!
Minutes later, Wait, she is opening her eyes. 'Evi...evi ok ke?" tak de suara...just dark, scary stare at me. her face was....isshhh....meremang bulu roma... damn! what now? No voice, but her eyes were following where i was going, what i was doing. This is not Evi. tangan dok sibuk call jee masa dia pitam and Jee pun terkejut. kenapa pengsan? u tell me la. I tak sangka jadi gini, jee said,. Alamak ai! Jee finally said, "pls call for ustaz and mintak pulihkan dia. itu bukan dia lagi tu." "yus! help!" Yus was jumpy at the other end...fast forward of the whole incident to her. yus said she will ask hb for ustaz help. please..... this is red alert panic! a few minutes later, she called and gave me the ustaz's contact number, Ustaz Ramli, a close friend to Yus's hb. terus call and fast forward again of the whole incident. We were lucky, Alhamdulillah Ustaz Ramli sudi bantu and will come over to the house as soon. He is staying somewhere in Puchong area. In the meantime, he asked us to make sure that Evi is not left alone and make sure that she is comfortable. would not want her to do any harm to us. Alamak, harm! Where are the children? "Anak2 semua naik atas, jangan turun unless mama kata ok." anak2 berlari naik atas.
Sementara tunggu Ustaz ramli, hb called Tok Imam. Tok Imam@fleet owner of school vans@ex-technician@imam of nearby surau. he came alone. Alamak! tak de troops...Tok Imam sorang je ke? Tak pe...better than both of us yang tak tahu hujung pangkal nak buat apa in situation like this. Tok Imam ada experience benda2 gini. Evi kena rasuk. Ntah benda apa masuk dia ni. Tok Imam baca apa patut, ayat2 suci dan bertanya dengan 'Evi'. "Siapa kamu ni", Ishhh...marah 'Evi'...baca ayat dan air disapu di muka Evi, tak menjadi juga. Tok Iman cuba lagi. Evi pandang Tok Iman...dan ketawa mengejek paling seram pernah aku dengar. tetiber aku rasa sedang menonton scene 'Exorcist' bila Linda Blair sedang mengilai mengejek paderi yang sedang menggunakan 'holy water' dan membaca doa2 dari kitabnya untuk menghalau iblis yang merasuk... Linda Blair@iblis hanya mengeliat bosan.
Tok Imam kata, "apa yang ada dalam budak ni bukan calang-calang, kuat. Takat ni je saya boleh buat. Kena cari orang yang pandai berubat pulihkan orang yang kena rasuk makhluk halus ni." Makhluk halus. Evi kena rasuk makhluk halus.
the longest time ever masa tunggu ustaz ramli to the house. dia sesat pulak sebab not familiar with our housing area. sabar...sabar...Evi dah berapa kali pengsan and jaga, pengsan lagi....aku dah lenguh dan berpeluh kat dapur ni. Time dah masuk pukul 10 lebih. Other households dah winding down to rest and sleep, but here I am tengah bertempur dengan persaan takut, cuak dan panik all in one. mana nak pikir anak2, mana nak pikir Evi yang meracau cakap apa2 and pengsan dan pengsan lagi, mana nak pikir hb yang ada heart condition. kalau ditoreh muka ni, tak berdarah pun rasanye. punyer le pucat. tapi kena in control coz so many at stake. i aged 10 years that nite.
Ustaz Ramli finally reached the house, "Assalamualaikum...." "Waalaikumsalam, sambut my hb. Allah hu Akbar, Alhamdulillah....Allah memudahkan perjalanan Ustaz Ramli ke rumah kami. Evi, aku papah ke ruang tamu. kesiannye tengok budak ni. Baru je kerja dengan kami tak sampai lima bulan. Rajin, budak ni tapi ada yang tak kena dengan dia. But cant really put my finger on it. But everytime when i reach home, i feel the house is filthy, walaupun dia kata dah kemas. cant really cook so kena ajar banyak benda kat budak ni. baru 19 years old then. Evi rajin melayan my girls. Evi kata nak kerja lama dengan kami sebab dia rasa tak nak balik Indon. Tunggu la after 5 years baru balik. We just recently found out that before she came over to work, just delivered a baby girl. left her baby with her mother.
When she first came, so much energy and want to do everything. one day, just about 3 days with us, she decided to rearrange the furnitures in the whole house, right from the living room to the bedroom, all 3 of them. when we reached home, Surprised!!!! "Bu saya tukar sikit. Ibu suka? " We were between terperanjat and kagum. Why? Coz she moved all the furnitures, beds and almari baju with everything in it all on her own. All those within one day. When the girls got back from school in the afternoon, the furnitures dah rearranged. We looked at each other. Adoi...kena psycho ni. "Evi, buat semua ni sorang je?" Aku tanya...Evi tersengih bangga, "ye Bu" "Siapa tolong?" "Tak de siapa tolong" Lagi aku terbeliak biji mata. "Evi buat semua ni?" lagi sekali aku tanya soklan bodoh tu. Hb dearest diam. Dia cuma tumpang tercengang. Tak de siapa tolong, katanya lagi...."Hmmmm...ok gak Evi buat ni. Mesti penat kan? (statement bodoh lagi. mestilah. tapi dia tak nampak penat. lagi ceria and excited adala sebab dapat surprised us. Boy! were we surprised). "Tapi Evi.. saya tak berapa suka la Evi. Baru saja ubah susun ni. Esok Evi tukar balik. Tak payah buat semua esok. Buat sikit2 pun tak pe." Aku tahu Evi kecewa, tapi dia cuba senyum. Tawar je... Evi angguk. I know, I was being unreasonable. But I can't take the new decor, so the serabut with all the furnitures all arranged at the centre....aaaarrrggghhh serabutla!!!
"Macam mana dia angkat semua furniture sorang?" me and hb compared notes. "Ntah2 dia incredible hulk and menurun bila semua orang tak de." Hey, jangan cakap gitu, Arif dengan dia bila kita tak de. Dia yang jaga. Sampai sudah... we failed to find reasons how she managed to do it. We brushed it all away and considered it as one of her many abilities. She continued with her work and she was really hard working. Ever ready to impress us and would drop everything when we call for her. Evi sayang Arif.
"Hey, siapa kamu kacau budak ni. Siapa dalam badan Evi ni?" tanya Ustaz Ramli sambil memicit ibu jari kaki Evi. "Aduh...sakit, sakit pak"...Evi merintih...menangis. Aku masih meriba dan memegang bahu Evi, kuat. Evi meronta, lagi kuat aku pegang dia. "Kalau sakit, keluar. ni bukan tempat kamu. kalau kamu tak nak sakit, baik keluar." Ustaz Ramli mengugut keras. Siapa nama kamu? "mona...." Evi jawab perlahan. "Hah, Mona...kamu asal dari mana?" tanya Ustaz. "Jauh...dari bukit sana" bukit mana pulak ni. Aku tahu la belakang rumah aku ada bukit tapi tak kan la from there. "Bukit mana?" "jauh..."...ni mesti tumpang dari mana ni? terang ustaz kepada kami. "Ada pergi mana2 sebelum ni?" tanya Ustaz. Hb baru balik outstation a few days ago, ada worksyop kat Genting. AAAhhhh....bukit...jauh....Sah, ayahnye bawak balik 'Mona' dari Genting. Memang hb balik was way past midnite and balik pun masuk rumah tak de precaution apa2, belasah je. Padan muka kami. Lain kali pesan orang2 tua, dengar. Kalau balik dari jauh, malam gini, kena ikut petua dan pantang larangnya. Kan dah ada yang ikut. Hish....
"Kenapa kamu ada kat sini?", Ustaz Ramli tanya lagi sambil terus memicit ibu jari kaki Evi. "Saja suka. Sini seronok. Ramai kawan." kata Evi. Suka kat sini. Hah, ramai kawan? Ada berapa ni? Ustaz Ramli baca lagi ayat-ayat suci. Time already way past midnite. Evi menjerit dan pengsan lagi. Let her sleep. Ustaz kata. Bila Evi jaga, she looked ok. 'Mona' dah balik. Sebelum Mona, ada budak kecik, ada yang langsung tak cakap apa, cuma dengus kasar dan garang dengan mata hitam yang macam nak telan je Ustaz. Mata tu juga pandang aku macam nak telan. "Apa pandang2????? Apa kamu ingat aku takut? Keluar!!! Ini rumah aku. Kamu keluar sekarang!!!" Yup, I said that. screaming my head off at 'Evi'. Evi stared. I was between tired, geram and takut. Tak tau mana datangnya berani masa tu. But i was so stressed. tired and a long nite. Lepas tu aku dah tak takut dah. This is my house, my family and yang lain2 tak berkenaan boleh GET OUT!!!
Ustaz Ramli masih meneruskan bacaan dan cuba merawat Evi. I think dah nak masuk pukul 3 pagi baru la Evi nampak ok. Ustaz Ramli siapkan air penawar. Lada hitam dengan garam kasar untuk "pagar rumah". Taburkan sekeliling rumah dgn bacaan ayat Qursi. Semoga makhluk halus tidak masuk lagi. Ustaz Ramli's opinion of Evi. Evi memang 'tak sihat'. Masa dia datang kerja kat Mesia, she must have eaten something and that is already in her and that has weaken her. She becomes a satellite for all these makhluk untuk b enda2 ni masuk dan keluar using her body. Hish...ada byk lagi la Ustaz Ramli cakap. Takut and meremang bulu roma entah berapa ribu kali sepanjang masa tu. Tapi Ustaz Ramli pesan, kita tak boleh takut dengan benda ni sebab manusia lebih superior.
Aku lepas tu jadi nurse jaga Evi for the next 3 days sebelum kami hantar dia balik Indonesia. When i broke the news to her that i have no choice but to release her. Boleh bayangkan betapa sedihnya dia. Could not bear to look at her face. Bukan tak kesian tapi my family comes first. Buatnya ada insiden menurun lagi lepas ni, how? Arif kecik lagi masa tu, will be with her. No, dare not take the risk.
Masa Evi agak sober, she related to me apa yang dia nampak and those things she saw was only between Evi and I. I dont share in detail with dear hb pun. Even on the day we sent her back, macam2 dugaan...haih...itu citer lain.
This is the reason why i dont like to watch citer seram....Why pay money for that when I went through live performance?
