It Never Changed - Day 1

There is one guy, which basically the main of this short story. His name is Carlo Monteiro Aviedo. Carl for short. He is nothing special. At least that's what he thought about himself. Everyday, he would look into the mirror, with a depressed voice he always mutters, "I wonder what it feels like to be famous, to be somebody that is very good-looking, to be somebody that everyone would want to be friend with". 

"Heyy!!! It's already 7.30!! Please be faster or we gonna be late to school!" His mom voice shocked him. Suddenly being sucked back into the reality, he whimpered. He quickly glances and look towards the clock that's always been hung up on the wall. "Oh gosh, I really am going to be late today!" He said while running as fast as he could towards the car. 

But really, it really is nothing to be surprised about. That's basically what happens in almost every morning. To the point that he thinks that its a routine, and it a must do every day. And so, Carl's life as a form two student started. What's gonna await him in his new beginning? What does fate have in store for him?

The car that his mom drove finally arrived at school. Pretty much like last year, he was late and when he arrived there everybody already stood up and sang the national and school anthems. A little bit embarrassed, he walks to his class and on the way there, he would have to pass through other classes and while he's doing that, everybody would looked at him and that really lowers his confidence because he really doesn't like it if another human stared at him for too long.

Cutting that aside, when he reaches his class, he was pretty happy considering that he could meet his friends, familiar faces and also some new faces he had never seen before. Its a good chance to make some new friends he thought. Anyway, the assembly is over and everyone would lined up and went to their new classes. I hate stairs! He said while some sweat falling from his cheek. Why can't the school build some elevators? That would surely eases everyone. That ridiculous thought always appear on his mind. Although he knew that such thing would always be impossible.

And so, he finally reaches his class. It was somewhere at the back of the school and one could easily say it's pretty isolated from the rest of the school. Everything is so quiet. I like this kind of atmosphere while smiling merrily. Since the class gonna start anytime soon, everybody quickly choose their seatings which gonna be for the rest of the year. Suddenly, he saw a new girl. "She probably just moved here". He said to himself. "She has a very fair and pretty skin, I wonder what's her name is?"

Suddenly, a not so familiar voice rebuked him. A bit startled. Carl quickly looked towards the direction of the voice. It was a girl with a glass and she said something to him but Carl can't really grab what she was saying, probably because of his bad hearings. And so, he just nodded and smile. Then, he looks towards the new girl again not that he realizes that she's going to be very important in the future.

Day 1 ended.

Sometimes

Sometimes I wonder, does she feel the same way as I feel towards her?

The Great Adventure of Amril : Journey Across Dimensions

Bagaikan hari yg biasa aku lalui, setiap hari terasa bagaikan semalam. Tiada apa yang baru, hidup yg sungguh membosankan. Suara aku berkata-kata di dalam minda ku. Setiap manusia pasti inginkan yg berlainan, hidup yg lebih mencabar. Sedang asyik aku melayan benak mindaku, tiba-tiba sahaja ada satu suara yg halus, agak merdu memanggil namaku dari arah belakang. Siapakah dia? Aku segera menoleh ke belakang, oh rupa-rupanya Sasha, rakan sekelas ku di kampus dahulu. Tapi mengapakah dia menegur ku? Sedangkan aku dahulu langsung tidak pernah wujud.di dalam dunia nya.
"Amril sekarang kerja kat mana?" Tanyanya sopan.
"Oh masih lagi menganggur, bukan senang nak cari kerja sekarang ni" Jawab ku spontan.
Seperti tidak puas hati dengan jawapanku, dia memasamkan mukanya, tetapi masih kelihatan comel.
"Hmm, bagusla macam tu, barulah masa depan cerah" Dengan nada sinis dia memerli ku.
Aku segera beredar dari situ, manala tahu kan lagi banayak perlian yang bakal menanti jika aku kekal di situ. Tetapi dia mengekori ku dari belakang. Perasaan kurang enak menyelubungi diriku.
"Apa masalah dengan minah ni!?" Jiwa ku mula memberontak.
"Amril tunggu! Aku sebenarnya ada benda nak cakap ni, aku perlukan pertolongan kau!"
Tanpa menghiraukan permintaannya, aku segera meneruskan langkahku.
*
Di rumah ku, aku terkenangkan peristiwa yg berlaku siang tadi, wajah sugul Sasha mulai terbayang di dalam minda ku. Apa sebenarnya dia nak kat aku? Patut ke aku buat kat dia macam tu? Semakin lesap dibuai persoalan di minda, malam semakin tua dan aku pun terlena.
*
Satu bunyi kuat telah menyedarkan dari mati sementara ku. Bagaikan gendang yg dipalu dengan sekuat kuatnya, menggetarkan jiwa raga walaupun seorang pahlawan medieval. Apabila sahaja mataku dibuka dengan luas, sinaran mentari menembusi retina ku. Membuatkan ku buta sebentar. Aku terpaku, di manakah aku? Padang rumput hijau yg sungguh luas mata memandang. Bagaikan berada di sebuah desa permai di Scotland. Tetapi itu tidak mengapa, Mata aku cuba dizoomkan bagaikan sebuah binocular ke arah yg tidak jauh dariku, kelihatan ada aktiviti manusia di situ, di situlah agaknya bunyi gendang itu datang. Aku meluru ke arah itu, manalah tahu aku boleh mendapatkan bantuan. Namun apabila aku sampai di situ, harapan ku musnah. Bagaikan nak berak tapi ada sembelit. Manusia sedang berperang, potong memotong, penggal memenggal, cucuk mencucuk. Satu adegan yg kurang enak untuk dipertontonkan, terlalu ganas. Nasib baik aku atas 18. Aku pun duduk di situ, takkanlah nak join pulak, seni pertahanan diri pun tak tahu, walaupun pernah jadi pengerusi persatuan silat dekat sekolah dulu, tapi member cuma ada 5 orang je, jadi tak pernah berlatih sangat. Kalau nak lawan pedang, aku memang member kelab fencing, tapi first day pun dah ponteng, istilah en garde jela yg aku tau. Sedang aku asyik menonton, tiba-tiba popcorn and large size cola jatuh dari langit. Fuhh da macam pergi gsc, hmmm tukarla MBO sebab lagi selalu pergi and lagi dekat dengan rumah.
*
Peperangan tamat, nampaknya pihak warna merah menang dan yang biru kalah, disebabkan ini perlawanan kalah mati dan bukannya group stage, pihak biru akan dibunuh. Seorang demi seorang ditikam dengan rakusnya hinggalah tinggal seorang sahaja yg tinggal, aikk perempuan? Askar merah terhenti seketika kerana mungkin terkejut. Mereka kelihatan seakan akan berbincang. Tidak lama selepas itu, mungkin telah mencapai kata sepakat, mereka menjelir jelir lidah mereka bagaikan anjing yg ingin disula. Faham sangat la tu, perempuan itu ketakutan, lalu dia menjerit. Gema suaranya sampai ke eardrum telinga ku. Ehh? Itu kan suara Sasha! Aku pandang sekali lagi, ye itu memang Sasha, gadis yg pernah ku ngorat selama 5 tahun tapi hanya mengambil masa 5 minit untuk merejectku. Tanpa memikirkan bahaya yg bakal menanti, aku berlari ke arah mereka. Penjahat itu tersentak dengan kehadiranku. Aku mencapai sebilah pedang dari seorang pahlawan biru yg telah kecundang. En garde! Aku bersedia dan segera melibas pedang itu macam orang gila sambil menutup mataku. And of course, aku yg kena tibai, aku pun ditangkap sekali. Muka Sasha bagaikan tidak percaya, kerana adegan ini jauh sekali dari fairy tale mahupun di pawagam. Langsung tidak mainstream. Akhirnya penjahat itu mengikat kami dan membawa kami naik satu kereta kuda, macam yang dalam permulaan game Skyrim. Aku hanya termenung memandang Sasha, dan dia terdiam seribu bahasa. Aku membuka mulut ku, dan bertanya Sasha is that you? Dan kemudiannya dia mengganguk. Aku terkejut.
To be continued..

Melancholia

Baggy eyes, wrinkles and chapped lips. It could clearly be seen as he stares at his own reflection on the old and dusty mirror. His fingers shake, bringing the rusty razor-blade wobbling to his skin in zig zag lines. His tears speed down on his face like shooting streak down skies.  This boy has abandoned the love for his body and as he slices that soft thin epidermis, he gasps.

Out of regrets, mentally traumatized, he talks to himself

“What have I done? I’m now a criminal!”

The water keeps on falling to the palm of his hand as he forgot to close the water pipe. He washes his face with the water that have the smell of an iron. He cries again as he remembered how his beloved angel dumped him, how his friends turned their back at him and how he accidentally murdered his own teacher.  His mind suddenly starts to blur, and then it fades into pitch black. Suddenly, the memories of a few hours ago came back at him.

The morning dew starts to fall from it’s fresh green leaves, the birds are happily singing and the sun rises up. He came out from his house and starts his journey to his torture dungeon, school.

“Looks like I’m early today” Him while whistling.

Arrive at school, attending the classes like he always do every day. Nothing out of the ordinary. Until the recess time, his girlfriend suddenly sends him a message, that they can no longer be together and they should stop seeing each other.  Not satisfied with the text, he quickly run as fast as lightning, trying to find the girl, but what shattered his heart the most is, the girl is currently eating, laughing and having fun with another guy. Now he knows that he has been dumped. Tears start to fall from his eyes and dampen his cheeks.

The school bell rang again, to show that the break was over,  everyone hurriedly went to their respective classroom. But not for this boy, he walks slowly like the time was slowed down. Of course, he reach the class a bit late from the others.  The teacher shouts at him but the boy didn’t give any responses, he continue walking to his desk like nothing happens. Making the teacher turned into a mad bull and the teacher slap him.

The boy’s anger surfaces, like been possessed by an evil demon he shouts back at the teacher. Much to startles the teacher but it doesn’t end like that. The boy have gone really mad, losing his mind he strangles the teacher with both of his hand. Causing the teacher too meets her death. The whole class have gone panic. The scene was ugly indeed.

The boy suddenly regain back his consciousness but it’s a little bit too late, the crime has already been committed. He is still inside of his bathroom. Suddenly, he could hear a knock from the door. He is down to the wire, it’s the police and he is very sure of it.

“Time to face my judgement” With a faint smile and low voice, he walks away and surrendered himself to the police.

Missing You

Do you miss me like I miss you,
Do you ever think about me,
Even just for a seconds,
I want to meet you,
That's all I need.

I hope you're happy,
Smiling like you always does,
Cause yours could soothe the pain,
That I couldn't bear any longer.

Your laughs,
Your smiles,
Your perfumes,
Your presence,
Is what I ever need.

Heart Vacancy

Somewhere beyond the horizon, away from the peninsula.Love itself will emerge someday.The thoughts of that keep lingers in her head.Being single for 22 years is not cool or that's what she thought.

"Why is it so hard for me to find someone whom I could truly love?"She talks to herself.

Depressing, she turns off the light and darkness starts to roam inside the room. As fast as lighting she pull off her blanket.Immediately she falls asleep. Fade to nothingness, her vision becomes dead.

Away from the reality, closer to the fantasy.The scenery becomes somewhat different, beautiful flowers all around her, freshly bloomed tulips or orchids everywhere. A scent of roses in the air, assaulting her tiny nostrils.

"Utopia? This must be a dream"Firmly believes that, she quickly walks toward an old hut that's not far away from the garden.

Weird enough,the closer she got to the hut, the stronger the scent of the roses. *knock* *knock* she knocks the door.

"Anybody home?" Asking with curiosity.

No answer, frustrated she walks away.A few steps, suddenly a sound of a door opening could be picked up by her eardrums. She look back and yeah the door have been opened. But by who? She could swear that there's no one inside that small worn down hut.

Curiosity kills the cat but ignorance could also kill oneselves.She muster her courage, walks slowly towards the door.Just a few steps more and suddenly she could hear a voice.

"Come on in my lovely princess, we got a very delicious roasted duck for dinner here".

Whose voice is that? Creepy, very scary.The inside couldn't be seen, , It's pitch black even though it's sunny outside. Believing it's only a dream she walks in.

A very handsome young man currently there at the dining table.Greets her with a warm smile. Awkwardness on her face. Not sure whether to reply that or not.He offers the dishes to her but she immediately reject it.

"Isn't this your favourite dish?" The guy with a strong confidence.

How did he knows about that? Who is he? Confusing the girl, a typhoon on her mind.

"Do you have amnesia darling? Do you remember who I am? "

"Who are you? How do you know who I am? How do you know about my favourite? With unsatisfied looks she answers.

With a sour face the guy replied, "Maybe it's not the time yet".

And with that she awakes from her slumber.Full of questions, What is that dream? Just who is that guy?

Thinking

About to drop Mortem Venatus.Too hard for me and I'm already ran out of idea.Maybe I should something much simpler and relaxing next time. ;)
