Kisah Seram di Pejabat
Pengalaman Seram Aza

Anda selalu tak diganggu jika bekerja lewat malam di pejabat??? Ini pengalaman aku sendiri. Kami selalu terpaksa bekerja lebih masa di pejabat. Kadang-kadang, kami terpaksa bekerja sehingga lewat malam antara jam 10 sehingga jam 12 tengah malam. Selepas itu baru lah pekerjaan lebih masa kami berakhir dan kami keluar dari pejabat. 

Aku selalu mendengar cerita di sekeliling bahawa pejabat aku itu ada hantu. Aku sebenarnya mempercayai hal tersebut tetapi aku malas untuk melayan hal-hal tersebut. Pada suatu hari, semasa aku sedang asyik bekerja, teman sepejabat mengajak aku untuk menemaninya ke tanda. Disebabkan dia takut untuk ke tandas berseorangan, maka aku pun menemaninya. Semasa berada di tandas, aku terdengar bunyi troli bagaikan ditolak oleh seseorang di luar tandas. Aku dapat mendengarnya dengan jelas. Namun aku hanya membatukan diri sahaja. Aku tidak mahu berfikir bukan-bukan. Aku fikir bahawa pasti ada orang sedang membawa barang. Beberapa minit kemudian, teman sepejabat aku pun keluar dari tandas dan kami berjalan untuk pulang ke pejabat. Aku dapati bahawa tiada sesiapa pun di luar. Aku mula berasa sedikit keliru...

Aku menoleh merenung wajah teman sepejabat ku di meja dalam pejabat kami. Dia pun tergamam melihat aku lantas bertanya. "Eh, tadi engkau dengar kan ada orang tolak troli di luar?" Aku hanya mengangguk mengiyakannya tanpa sepatah pun suara. Kami cuma berpura-pura seperti tiada sesuatu pun yang berlaku lalu menyambung kerja-kerja kami. Beberapa minit kemudian, kami mendengar bunyi orang berlari pula dalam pejabat. "Aduh, aku tak ingin melihat pun perkara-perkara yang pelik!" Getus hati ku. Aku berpura-pura seperti tidak mendengar sebarang bunyi pun. Benda itu menjadi semakin berani dan bermain kerusi pula. Aku dapat melihat sendiri kerusi di meja-meja pejabat berpusing dan berbunyi. "Huh, sebiji macam dalam cerita seram di televisyen!!" Aku dan teman pejabat pun apa lagi, kami perlahan-lahan menggapai barang-barang kami... selepas itu berlari lintang pukang dari pejabat!

Perkara yang lebih menyeramkan lagi berlaku, apabila pintu pejabat pula bergerak-gerak. Aku dan teman pejabat sudah pucat lesi. Kami terfikir, mungkin benda itu ingin mempermain kami. Kami terus berlari ke lif. Tetapi, sebelum kami menekan punat lif... Ia menyala dengan sendiri seperti ditekan orang. Kami hanya mampu berdoa supaya jangan ada sebarang benda pelik yang keluar dari lif sekiranya pintu lif terbuka. Pintu lif pun terbuka selepas beberapa minit. Dengan mulut kami terkumat-kamit membaca doa, kami pun memasuki lif dan sampai dengan selamatnya ke lobi tingkat bawah. "Fuh, selamat jugak!!!" Terasa lega apabila kami tidak diganggu oleh "benda" itu semasa berada di dalam lif. 

Walaupun kejadian seram sebegini menimpa kami, namun kami masih lagi gila bekerja. Walaupun diganggu oleh entiti yang tidak kelihatan, namun kami masih bekerja sehingga lewat malam. Mungkin "mereka" marah kerana kami mengganggu "mereka" pada waktu mereka sedang bekerja, huhu.

Ghostly Stories in the Office

An Experience of Aza

Translator: Abdullah M. Tannaim

Do you always being disturbed if you work late at night in the office??? This is my own experience. We always have to work over the time at the office. Sometimes, we would have to work until late night. Up to between 10 or 12 o'clock. After that, we would finish our bundle of works and go home.

I always listen to stories and tales around me where people talk about the ghosts. I do believe in it but I never feel to be bothered by those matters. One day, while I was busy working, my office mate asking me to accompany her to the ladies. I am just following her without any objection because I knew that she might be afraid to go there alone. While in the toilet, I could hear some screeching voice of the trolley being pushed by someone just outside of the toilet. I could clearly hear it. But I pretend that I heard nothing. I did not want my mind to imagine on nonsense thing. I just told myself, might be someone moved the stuffs to the offices in the building. Few minutes later, my office mate finished with her nature call and we walked our way to the office. I was assured that no one was outside, because it seemed like nobody left there except us. I began to feel a little bit confused...  

I looked sharply at my office mate face when we sit at our tables in the office. She was stunned too and she asked me. "Eh, did you hear the sound like a screeching trolley being pushed outside of the toilet?" I just nod my head confirming that I also heard that without making any noise. We just pretend like nothing happened and continuing our works. Few minutes later, we heard the sound of someone is running in the office. "Damn it, I don't want to hear or seeing anything scary!!!" I still pretend like hearing to nothing. That "thing" becoming more mischievous as it begin to play with the chairs. I can see it for myself that those chairs are moving around and making sounds. "It feels just like in a scary movie in the TV!!" I and my office mate can't really stand it no more. Both of us slowly grabbed our stuffs... and running as fast as we can from the office to the elevator!

Another scarier thing happened to us when the doors of our office are moving like someone is there. Our face turned pale. We just thought that the "thing" is trying to play around with us. We're just heading to the elevator but before we touched the button, it light turns on on its own as if someone were pressing it. We're just praying may no scary "things" come out from the elevator if the doors opened. The doors opened after few minutes waiting and with our mouths chanting holy words; we just stepped into the elevator. We arrived safely at the ground level's lobby. "Finally, we're safe!!!" I feel relieved since we're not disturbed by the "thing" inside the elevator.   

Although such a scary incident happened to us, but we still are workaholic. Though being disturbed by the paranormal entity, but we still are working late at night. Maybe they're just offended as we're disturbing "them" while they are at their working hours, huhu.
