Kembalikan Rambutku!

Cerita Nyata

Ini adalah cerita yang saya dengar dari teman pramugari. Ada satu teman kita sebut saja namanya Elis yang juga seorang pramugari.

Elis bekerja sebagai pramugari di salah satu maskapai terkenal. Dia tipe perempuan yang sangat memperhatikan penampilannya. Dan salah satu yang paling dia perhatikan adalah rambutnya. Kalau bisa dibilang, rambut merupakan bagian dirinya yang paling dia sukai dan jaga. Jadi tidak heran jika dia sangat memperhatikan setiap detil-detil perawatan yang harus dilakukan untuk mahkotanya.

Kisah ini bermula saat dia pergi ke salah satu salon langganannya. Malam minggu itu dia akan menghadiri pesta kondangan.

Sebagai pelanggan setia, dia pun juga sudah akrab dengan hair stylist yang biasanya yang menangani rambutnya. Untuk model kali ini hair stylistnya mengandalkan hair extension untuk membuat penampilan yang elegan. Elis sangat puas dengan hasil kerja sang stylist.

Pesta di malam hari berlalu begitu saja. Tidak ada sesuatu yang terlalu menarik untuk kita bahas. Cerita intinya terjadi saat dia pulang kembali ke kost-nya. Dia tinggal berdua dengan salah satu temannya.

Kamar sudah gelap. Temannya sudah tidur duluan. Elis pelan-pelan memasuki kamar. Setelah gosok gigi dan cuci wajah, dia pun siap-siap tidur. Dia memenjamkan matanya. Namun entah kenapa dia merasa tidak tenang. Ada perasaan tidak enak di dalam hatinya.

Seperti seseorang sedang menatapnya. Pelan-pelan dia membuka matanya dan sekelebat seperti ada nenek yang berdiri di samping ranjangnya. Namun saat matanya terbuka lebar, ternyata kosong. Ranjang seberang temannya masih sedang tidur nyenyak.

Merasa dirinya mungkin kecapaian, dia akhirnya kembali memenjamkan matanya dan tertidur…

Saat itu Minggu pagi, dan Elis sedang di kamar mandi sikat gigi.

Tiba-tiba dia mendengar teriakan temannya. Buru-buru Elis berlari keluar. Temannya dengan gemetar menunjuk ke arah ranjang Elis. Ternyata ada segumpal rambut di atas kasurnya. Elis agak syok juga. Dari mana rambut itu berasal. Namun dia tiba-tiba teringat kalau kemarin siang dia habis dari salon. Mungkin hasil pekerjaan si hair stylist kurang ok sehingga rambutnya lepas.

Buru-buru Elis menjelaskan ke temannya, baru si teman itu agak tenang.

Malam harinya saat dia akan tidur lagi, kembali ada perasaan tidak enak. Tetapi kali ini dia merasa lebih parah. Dia tahu sebetulnya di kamar tidak ada apa-apa. Tetapi entah kenapa nalurinya berontak. Dia akhirnya kembali membuka mata untuk meyakinkan dirinya sendiri bahwa di kamarnya situ tidak ada apa-apa. Selain hanya temannya saja.

Dan betul saja, saat dia membuka matanya, seorang nenek berdiri tepat di sampingnya.

Elis, mengusap-usap matanya, tetapi nenek itu masih tetap ada. Elis sangat ingat. Itu adalah bayangan nenek yang dia lihat sekilas semalam! Nenek itu terlihat sangat tidak senang. Mulutnya bergerak-gerak seolah-olah membicarakan sesuatu. Jantung Elis berdegup kencang. Nenek itu terlihat sedang marah-marah, tetapi suaranya terdengar seperti bisikan yang kacau. Elis tidak menangkap apa yang diomongkan sang nenek.

Dan dengan sangat tiba-tiba saja suara bisikan itu berubah menjadi teriakan nyaring.

“KEMBALIKAN RAMBUTKU!”

Elis langsung terbangun. Sekujur badannya keringat. Luar masih malam. Tetapi dia tidak bisa tidur sepanjang malam setelah itu. Mimpi tadi terlalu nyata. Dia mulai merasa ada yang tidak beres dengan rambutnya. Tetapi ada apa dengan rambutnya?

Lalu dia pun teringat. Dia menggunakan sambungan rambut. Mungkinkah itu penyebabnya?

Hari Senin pagi Elis buru-buru ke salon untuk meminta kejelasannya ke hair stylist-nya itu. Sang hair stylist tidak bisa langsung memberikan jawaban, tetapi berjanji akan mencoba melacak kembali asal usul rambutnya itu.

Beberapa minggu kemudian akhirnya Elis pun mendapat jawaban. Ternyata rambut yang dipasangkannya itu adalah rambut asli milik seorang nenek. Nenek ini sangat menyukai rambutnya dan merawatnya dengan sangat baik. Saat meninggal, ada salah satu anggota keluarga yang memutuskan memotong rambut sang nenek untuk dijual (karena rambutnya yang sangat bagus dan panjang). Dan rambut itulah yang dipakaikan ke Elis.

Nenek itu sepertinya tidak suka rambutnya dipakai siapapun, itu sebabnya Elis diganggu. Setelah mengetahui kondisinya seperti itu, mereka akhirnya memutuskan rambut itu dibakar saja. Hanya setelah itulah Elis pun baru bisa lega.

ENGLISH VERSION

GIVE ME BACK MY HAIR!

By Billy | 26 January 2018

True story

This is a story I heard from my stewardess friend. There was one friend we called her name Elis who was also a stewardess.

Elis worked as a stewardess at one of the well-known airlines. She's the type of woman who was very concerned about her appearance. And the one she noticed the most was his hair. If we can say, hair was the part of her that she liked the most and kept it. So wasn't be surprised if she was very attentive to every care detail that must be done for his crown.

This story began when she went to one of her            salons. That Saturday night she would attend a wedding party.

As a loyal customer, she was also already familiar with the hair stylist who usually handled her hair. For this model, the hair stylist relied on hair extensions to create an elegant appearance. Elis was very satisfied with the work of the stylist.

Partying at night just passed. There was nothing too interesting to discuss. The main story happened when she went home to her boarding house. She lived alone with one of her friends.

The room was dark. Her friend had gone to bed first. Elis slowly entered the room. After brushed her teeth and washed her face, she was ready to sleep. She closed her eyes. But somehow she felt uneasy. There was an unpleasant feeling in her heart.

Like someone was staring at her. Slowly she opened her eyes and flashed like a grandmother standing beside her bed. But when her eyes opened wide, it turned out to be empty. The opposite bed there, his friend was still sleeping soundly.

Feeling she might be exhausted, she finally closed back her eyes and fell asleep ….

It was Sunday morning, and Elis was in the bathroom brushing her teeth. Suddenly she heard the shout of her friend. Hurriedly Elis ran out. Her friend trembled pointing at Elis's bed. Apparently there was a lump of hair on the bed. Elis was rather shocked too. Where the hair came from. But she suddenly remembered that yesterday afternoon she was out of the salon. Maybe the work of the hair stylist was not so good that the hair is loose.

Elis hurriedly explained to her friend, then the friend was rather calm.

At night when she would sleep again, there was an unpleasant feeling again. But this time she felt worse. She knew there was nothing in the room. But for some reason her instincts rebelled. She finally opened her eyes to convince herself that there was nothing in her room. Besides being just her friend.

And sure enough, when she opened his eyes, a grandmother stood right beside her. Elis rubbed her eyes, but the grandmother was still there. Elis really remembers. It was the image of the grandmother she had seen at a glance last night! The grandmother looked very unhappy. His mouth moved as if talking about something. Elis's heart beat fast. The grandmother looked angry, but her voice sounded like a chaotic whisper. Elis did not catch what the grandmother said.

And very suddenly the sound of the whisper turned into a loud cry.

"GIVE ME BACK MY HAIR!"

Elis immediately woke up. His whole body sweat. It's still late at night. But he couldn't sleep all night after that. The dream was too real. He began to feel something was wrong with his hair. But what's with the hair?

Then She remembered. She uses an extension hair. Could that be the cause?

On Monday morning Elis hurried to the salon to ask for clarity to the hair stylist. The hair stylist cannot immediately give an answer, but promises to try to trace the origin of the hair back.

A few weeks later Elis finally got an answer. It turned out that the hair she was used was real hair belonging to a grandmother. This grandmother really liked her hair and took good care of her. When she died, one of the family members decided to cut off the grandmother's hair for sale (because her hair was very nice and long). And that hair is put on Elis.

The grandmother didn't seem to like her hair to be worn by anyone, that's why Elis was disturbed. After learning about his condition, they finally decided that the hair would be burned. Only after that did Elis become relieved.
