RUMAH YANG TIDAK PERNAH KOSONG

By @Biebie Oleeyvia

Sejak kecil, dia tahu rumah keluarganya tidak pernah benar-benar kosong. Walaupun tinggal seorang diri, dia sering mendengar bunyi tapak kaki berlari di ruang tamu, suara kanak-kanak ketawa dan bisikan yang memanggil namanya. Pada mulanya dia menganggap semuanya hanyalah imaginasi seorang kanak-kanak. Sehinggalah suatu petang, dia melihat mereka. Sekumpulan kanak-kanak yang tidak pernah dikenalinya muncul di ruang tamu. Mereka bermain, berlari dan ketawa tanpa mengeluarkan sedikit pun bunyi tapak kaki. Namun mereka bukan sekadar mahu bermain. Mereka sudah lama menunggunya. Bertahun-tahun kemudian, selepas membesar dan meninggalkan rumah itu, dia menyangka semuanya hanyalah kenangan buruk zaman kanak-kanak. Sehinggalah satu hari dia terpaksa kembali. Kepulangannya membuka semula sesuatu yang selama ini disembunyikan keluarganya - sebuah rahsia lama tentang kanak-kanak yang pernah tinggal di rumah tersebut, kehilangan yang tidak pernah dijelaskan, dan sebab sebenar mengapa rumah itu sentiasa terasa seperti mempunyai penghuni. Semakin banyak rahsia terbongkar, semakin dia sedar bahawa kanak-kanak yang dilihatnya dahulu bukanlah sekadar roh yang terperangkap. Mereka sedang menunggunya pulang. Dan kali ini, mereka tidak mahu bermain seorang diri. Mereka mahu dia tinggal bersama mereka.
