DEJAVU- THE FINAL PHASE

by: Putri NurFarah Yasmin

    Fierce gusts were blowing and the sky was sporadically shaken by the sound of thunder. My intuition led me to believe it was a storm. I was standing in front of the SK Kampong Bukit office looking up at the sky while donning a hot pink kurung and a pink headscarf. For some reason, even though I had already undergone School-Based Experience (SBE) at this school, my heart feels anxious as if something horrible is about to happen. That day, the scenario was pretty peculiar. I am not sure why there was nobody at work that day. It only increased my fear. I turn on every light in the office to make it bright. 

"Doom!" "Doom!" "Doom!"

    A thunderous echo from the sky. Nature's blue light illuminates the entire world in the blink of an eye and all at the same time, the entire office is dark. I promise not only the office but the entire school. I was alone myself, and it was really dark. My heartbeat is rapid. I am sweating despite the cold as if I were getting wet in the rain. Accompanied by the little lighting, I am sure it led me to the exit. I need to escape since I am afraid of the darkness. Suddenly, the sound of a ball hitting the ground! That came from the back room in the office. The worst thing I could wish for is happening right now... 

    I have no idea why my body would not comply. I felt like someone was dragging me slowly to the room. I am not sure why, but despite my fear, I truly want to go there! I catch a glimpse of a girl with long hair that reaches her waist. The moment the entity in front of me abruptly turned to face me, it felt as though my heart missed a beat!

"Help me!!!!!!!!"

    I close my eyes and pray to the Almighty, but nothing happened. The entity was still in front of me. Laughing as it observes my terrified expression. Then, the ghost of the girl approached me with the ball in her hand. The girl motioned to the opposite room as if she were telling me to move in accordance with her wishes. I could not stop myself from following her. Surprisingly, as I enter the space, it was nothing like my SBE school - SK Kampong Bukit! It was spacious and appears to be an old timber house. The girl directed me to continue following her...

"Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!"

    I was scared to death, the girl was standing beside an old witch with half a body. I screamed hysterically asking for help.

"Kakak, wake up! Are you having a bad dream?"

I opened my eyes.... it was different. It was such a blur to me at that moment. 

"Get up, Kakak. It's 6 a.m. You'll be late for school. I told you that if you wish to come home for SBE, you must begin your journey as soon as possible." My mother was babbling. 

    Even though it was a dream, it felt extremely real. I get ready to shower and pray my Subuh prayer. After I finished, I changed my clothing. I stood in front of the mirror, sporting a hot pink kurung and a pink headscarf. Something is wrong, but I cannot figure out what.  I got ready and exited the house. 

    The sky is darkening. I took the keys and drove to school as normal to complete the final phase of SBE at SK Kampong Bukit. Throughout the journey, all I could do was hope for positive things for me to succeed in the SBE assignments at that school. After all, maybe I was just tired from driving back home yesterday.

"Doom!" "Doom!" "Doom!" 

The thunder striked....
