CERITA FIKSI – HOROR

KURIR 

FICTION STORY - HORROR

 COURIER

   Ini terjadi di suatu malam di kota kecil di daerah Arizona. Musim penghujan memang sering terjadi di daerahku,terutama karena Arizona memang terkenal dengan daerah hujan. Teman satu apartemenku menggigil kedinginan.

    At Night in a small town in the Arizona area. Arizona was famous place where have rainy season. My apartment's friend shivered cold.

     Awalnya kupikir dia hanya terkena dampak dari cuaca. Namun, ketika gertakan di giginya sudah berlebihan aku menyentuh keningnya dengan punggung tanganku. Dia sedang demam! 

    I thought he affected by the weather. However, when he was snapping his teeth excessive, I touched his forehead with my backhand. He has been a fever!

   Aku memutuskan pergi untuk mencari obat di luar. Kupikir daerah ini sama saja dengan daerah asalku di New Jersey, malam yang masih ramai. Namun, tempat ini berbeda. Malam begitu sepi, terutama di gang menuju apartemenku. 

    I decided to look for the medicine outside. I thought this area was the same as my native in New Jersey, where was still crowded at night. However, this place was different. Because it was so quiet, especially in the alley to my apartment.

   Hanya beberapa taksi yang terlihat di jalanan besar dan beberapa mobil besar. Aku berjalan di trotoar dengan kedua tangan di kantung jaketku. Aku tidak begitu takut, karena di N.J aku juga sering keluar malam. Di depanku, beberapa wanita malam sedang merokok.

    Only a few taxis were seen on the big streets and several large cars. I walked on the sidewalk with hands in my jacket pocket. I was not so scared, because in N.J I also often went out at night. In front of me, a few women were smoking.

  Sebuah mobil dengan bagian belakang terbuka terparkir di dekat mereka, seseorang dari mereka duduk di situ. Mereka mengenakan jas selutut, dan sepatu hak yang cukup tinggi. Kupikir mereka sedang menunggu pelanggan. Namun ini sudah pukul 00.00.

    A car parked, and the luggage opened, one of them sat there. They wore knee-suits, and high heels. I thought they were waiting for customers. Nevertheless, this time was 00.00.

    Mereka mungkin baru saja selesai bekerja. Aku tiba di sebuah mini market. Satu-satunya yang masih buka di sepanjang perjalananku. Tempatnya tidak cukup jauh, dari gang rumahku, menyeberang dari jalan besar, lalu ke sebuah gang dan mini market itu berada di ujung gang.

   They might have just finished working.  I arrived at a mini market.  The only one which was still open.  The place was not far enough, from the alley of my house, crossed from a big road, then to an alley and mini market that was at the end of the alley.

  

  Aku mengambil beberapa obat penurun demam, sabun pembersih muka (kebetulan pembersih mukaku sedang habis), beberapa minuman kaleng dan roti. Aku tidak melihat, namun aku yakin si kasir terus memandangku sejak tadi. Aku memutuskan untuk segera keluar dari tempat itu.

   I took some medicine fever, facial cleanser (incidentally my facial cleanser was out), some canned drinks and bread. I did not see her, but I was sure the cashier kept looking at me since I came.  I decided to get out of that place immediately.

“Sering keluar malam?,”tanya wanita itu.

"Did you often go out at night?" The woman asked.

Aku mengerutkan keningku,”Yaah… Tidak..ini pertama kalinya..”

I wrinkled my forehead, "Well ... No ... this was the first time ..."

“Kau bukan orang sini kalau begitu.”

"You were not from here."

“ Ya..,”jawabku. Kakiku mulai bergoyang tak sabar ingin segera meminta kantung belanjaanku. Dia terkesan melambatkan pekerjaannya. “Apa kau menggunakan kendaraan?”

"Yes ..." I replied.  My legs began to shake and couldn't wait to ask for my shopping bag.  She seemed to slow down her work.  "Were you using a vehicle?"

 “Maaf.. Tapi itu bukan urusan anda..,”jawabku ketus.

"Sorry ... But that was not your business ..." I replied curtly.

“Kau berjalan..,”gumamnya, “Berhati – hatilah…”

"You walked ..." he murmured, "Be careful ..."

“ Maksudmu?”

"What did you mean?"

“Ini sudah tengah malam. Apa kau tidak pernah berpikir, setiap daerah memiliki cerita.. dongeng pada siang hari dan menjadi mimpi buruk pada malam hari”

"It was already midnight. Have you never thought, every area has a story ... a fairy tale during the day and a nightmare at night? "

Aku mengerutkan keningku,”urban legend?”

I wrinkled my forehead, "urban legend?"

Dia mengangguk,”kau pelanggan terakhir sejak dua jam lalu.”

He nodded, "You were the last customer since two hours ago."

“Mengapa kau tidak menutup tokomu?”

"Why did not you close your shop?"

“Aku hanya pelayan di sini,”katanya.

"I was just a waiter here," she said

Aku melirik pakaian yang dikenakannya. Memang seragam untuk pekerja di minimarket pada umumnya.

I glanced at the clothes which she wore.  It was indeed uniform in general for workers in the minimarket.

“Seharusnya minimarket sudah tutup pukul 10, tapi aku bisa saja membukanya sampai besok pagi.”

"The minimarket should have closed at 10, but I could open it until tomorrow morning."

Aku mengerutkan keningku. Siapa yang mau menambah shift kerjanya?

I wrinkled my forehead.  Who did want to add to her shift?

Wanita itu tertawa seakan-akan sedang meledek ekspresiku yang sedang serius.

The woman laughed as if she were teasing my serious expression.

“Hahhhahha.. Aku akan menutupnya sebentar lagi! Setelah kau pulang pastinya,”candanya lagi di akhir kalimatnya.

"Hahahahaha ... I would close it soon! After you went home, of course, "he joked again at the end of her sentence.

Apapun itu, aku merasa dia membuat proses transaksi itu menjadi sangat lama. Temanku mungkin bertanya – tanya di mana aku.

Whatever it was, I felt she made the transaction process very long.  My friend might be wondering where I was.

“Tolong dipercepat,”kataku kesal,

"Please have been speed up," I said upset,

“Ah? Ah..ya,”kata wanita itu sambil mencari barcode roti yang kuambil.

"Ah?  Ah ... yes, "said the woman while looking for the barcode of the bread which I was taking.

“Hati-hati pada si kurir,”katanya lagi.

"Be careful with the courier," she said again

Ini membuatku semakin muak, dia mencoba melucon lagi. Aku memilih melihat ke luar minimarket yang sepi.

This made me nausea, he tried to joke again.  I chose to look outside the quiet minimarket.

“Boxnya bertuliskan chicken namun siapa tahu di bawah kotak-kotak ayam itu ada benang dan jarum.”

"There is word “chicken” in box, but who knew that under the chicken boxes were threads and needles."

“Hmmm..apa dia akan menyatukan daging-daging ayam itu dengan benang dan jarum itu?”tanyaku asal.

"Hmmm ... was she going to unite the chicken meat with the thread and the needle?” I said

“Ya!!,”kata wanita itu. Aku cukup terkejut dengan nada suaranya.

"Yes !!," said the woman.  I was quite surprised by the tone of her voice.

   Dia mendekatkan wajahnya, seperti akan berbisik padaku, “Dia keluar tengah malam.. Musik aneh dari motornya yang juga mengeluarkan suara aneh.. Seperti suara mesin yang akan mogok namun tetap dipaksa.. Dan juga… Dia tidak menyatukan daging ayam..tapi DAGINGMU!!”

Aku mengeluarkan nafasku setelah tertahan sejak si wanita berbisik.

   She brought her face closer, like she would whisper to me, "He came out at midnight. The strange music from his motorbike that also made a strange sound. Like the sound of a machine that would strike but still forced ... and also ... He did not unite chicken ... but your MEAT  !! "

I let out my breath after being held back since the woman whispered

“$13,”kata wanita itu.

"$ 13," said the woman

  Aku buru-buru mengeluarkan uang dari dompetku. Dua puluh menit aku mendengar wanita ini meracau, aku semakin yakin wanita itu sedang meracau karena aku mendapat kaleng minuman alkohol yang terbuka di sisi lain meja kasir.

    I hurried up to took money from my wallet.  Twenty minutes I heard this woman raved, I was very convinced the woman was raving because I got an alcohol's can which opened on the other side table.

  “Thank you!,”kataku ketus sambil berjalan meninggalkan mini market. Aku menatap sekali lagi ke dalam mini market, wanita itu terlihat segera merapikan tempat itu.

   "Thank you!" I said upset while I walked away from the mini market.  I looked once more into the mini market, the woman was seen immediately tidying up the place.

  “Dasar aneh,”umpatku. Aku berjalan masih di sepanjang gang minimarket. Langkahku terhenti ketika melihat sebuah pemandangan. Aku terkekeh singkat,”Jadi ini maksud wanita itu?”

    "It was weird," I said.  I walked along the alley of the minimarket.  My steps stopped when I saw a scene.  I chuckled briefly, "So, what was the woman meant?

  Yang kulihat adalah seorang kurir yang menggunakan scooter baru saja memberikan sebuah box bergambar ayam pada seorang nenek. Dan dia tampak baik-baik saja dari tempatku berdiri.

     I saw a courier which used a scooter had just given a grandmother a chicken box. he looked fine from where I stood.

    “Aku pasti sudah bodoh sempat tercengang akan cerita wanita gila itu..,”kataku sambil terkekeh. Kurir berscooter itu menaiki skuternya dan mulai berjalan. Memang benar ada musik dikeluarkan dari motor itu,cukup aneh memasangnya tengah malam begini, maksudku.. Orang bukan tertarik malah kesal, dan juga suara mesinnya yang terdengar begitu memilukan.

      "I have been foolish to be shocked at the story of that crazy woman ..." I said and laughed.  The courier rode the scooter and started to walk.  It was true which there was music released from the motorbike, it was strange to heard it in midnight, I mean ... People who were not interested even annoyed, and also the engine's sound so heartbreaking.

    Aku tidak begitu peduli pada si kurir hingga kami berpapasan, aku melayangkan pandanganku padanya. Aku cukup terkejut dengan ekspresi si kurir. Tidak.. Bukan hanya ekspresinya saja..Kau tahu..

    I didn't really care for the courier until we passed, I cast my gaze at him.  I was quite surprised by the expression of the courier.  No ... Not just the expression ... You knew ...

     Dia tersenyum dengan barisan gigi yang rapi, tersenyum sangat lebar.. Bukan hal yang aneh sampai kau menyadari bahwa tidak ada celah di antar giginya. Seperti gigi Ken si barbie. Matanya melotot, melotot seluas yang dia bisa. Matanya memandang lurus ke depan, jika ada lubang dia mungkin akan jatuh.

     He smiled with neat rows of teeth, smiled very wide ... It was not unusual until you realized that there were no gaps between his teeth.  Like Ken the Barbie's teeth.  His eyes glared, glaring as wide as he could.  His eyes looked straight ahead, if there was a hole he might fall.

    Aku memandangnya, hingga matanya dengan intens melirik ke arahku. Aku segera mengalihkan pandanganku,dan kurir itu melanjutkan perjalannya terus. Aku menghembuskan nafasku, pemandangan itu membuat jantungku berdegup kencang dan membuat dahiku berkeringat.

     I looked at him, until his eyes intensely glanced at me.  I immediately looked away, and the courier continued his journey.  I exhaled my breath; the scene made my heart beat and made my forehead sweat.

   Aku mendengar suara motor itu menjauh, langkahku pun kulanjutkan. Namun, suara itu tidak kunjung lenyap, aku tahu mungkin karena terlalu sunyi.. Namun bukan karena kesunyian, suara itu terdengar menguat lagi..perlahan. Aku berbalik dan melihat scooter itu sudah berputar arah.

     I heard the sound of the motorbike moved away, I continued my steps.  However, the sound did not disappear, I knew it might be because it was too quiet ... But not because of silence, the sound heard rising again ... slowly.  I turned and saw that the scooter had turned around.

    “Gila!!gila!!,”umpatku, aku segera berlari. Menyebrang melalui jalan besar yang kini benar-benar sepi. Aku yakin motor butut itu lebih lambat dari pelarianku. Aku tidak melihat wanita-wanita malam itu lagi, namun mobilnya masih di situ.

    "Crazy !! crazy !!" I said, I immediately ran.  Crossing through a big road that is now completely deserted.  I was sure the battered motor was slower than my runner.  I didn't see the ladies again, but the car was still there.

      Aku menyesalinya. Aku ingin memberitahu mereka tentang si kurir atau agar aku bisa mencari teman untuk saat ini. Aku mengetuk kaca jendelanya karena aku yakin mereka di dalam saat melihat bayangan samar-samar dari luar. Aku menempelkan mataku ke kaca jendelanya.

     I regretted it.  I wanted to tell them about the courier or I could find friends for now.  I knocked on the window because I was sure they were inside when they saw a faint shadow from outside.  I pressed my eyes to the window.

     Aku sangat terkejut mendapati lima wanita duduk kaku di dalam mobil dengan sudut-sudut bibir ditarik paksa agar tersenyum lebar! Mata mereka juga di tarik agar melotot,bagian hitam matanya sudah hilang.

     I was very surprised to find five women who was sitting stiffly in the car with their lips forced to smile widely!  Their eyes were also pulled to glare, the black part of their eyes was gone.

     Tidak. Aku mundur beberapa langkah. Rasa shock bertambah lagi ketika si kurir berhenti di belakang mobil, aku tidak menyadari suara yang sangat membuatku trauma. Aku terpaku menatap kurir itu. Mata kurir itu masih menatap lurus ke depan.

     No, I stepped back a few steps.  The feeling of shock increased again when the courier stopped behind the car, I did not realize the sound which really made me traumatized.  I stared at the courier.  The courier's eyes were still staring straight ahead.

     Bibirnya perlahan bergerak membentuk kerucut. Motornya tiba – tiba mati begitu juga dengan musik anehnya.

     His lips slowly moved to form a cone.  The motorbike suddenly died as same as the strange music.

    Dia mulai bersiul. Siulan yang juga aneh, siulan yang melengking dan membuatku merinding. Siulannya seakan-akan mengisi setiap sudut blok ini.

   He started whistle.  The whistles were also strange, whistles which squeak and made me cringe.  The whistles seemed to fill every corner of this area.

Dia berhenti.

He stopped.

    Matanya bergerak, MELIHAT KE ARAHKU, dia tersenyum lagi. Kali ini senyuman-seringai yang membuat kakiku membawa tubuhku untuk segera lari dari tempat itu.

    His eyes were moving, SEEING ON MY DIRECTION, he smiled again.This smile which made my legs brought my body to immediately run away from that place.

  Kantung belanjaanku tiba-tiba bocor di saat aku berlari. Aku segera menyelamatkan apa yang bisa kuselamatkan terutama obat untuk temanku. Aku merasa dia masih mengejarku.

      My shopping bag suddenly leaked when I ran.  I immediately saved what I could save, especially medicine for my friend.  I felt he was still pursued me.

     Hingga apartemen aku segera masuk dan berlari ke kamar kami. Aku mengunci apartemenku dengan rapat.

      Arriving at the apartment, I immediately entered and ran to our room. I locked my apartment tightly.

      Sejak saat itu, aku memutuskan pindah dari tempat itu. Trauma begitu menyiksa diriku. Polisi menemukan mobil yang berisi lima mayat dengan posisi yang aneh itu. polisi tidak menemukan saksi atas kejadian itu, aku juga tidak mau bersaksi.. Karena seumur hidup aku akan dihantui oleh wajah si kurir. bersaksi hanya akan membuatku semakin gila. Aku dan temanku meninggalkan kota itu dan memutuskan untuk tidak kembali lagi.

     Since then, I decided to move from that place.  Trauma was so torturing me.  Police found a car containing five bodies in strange position.  The police did not find witness from the incident, I also did not want to testify... Because for the rest of my life, I would be haunted by the  courier's face.  testifying would only make me crazy.  My friend and I left the city and decided not to return.
