Finally, hbs jg baca buku Jeffery Deaver ini. 418 pages je tp almost sebulan ddk dlm beg. Lunyai. Knp lambat hbs baca? Sbb ia sebuah buku kompilasi 17 short stories. So, bila dh hbs satu story, mcm dh hbs satu buku.
Dlm 17 cerita tu, cuma satu tekaan saya pd endingnya mengena. Cerita Nocturne (translated as irama muzik yang mengkhayalkan). Yg lain, tekaan saya sipi dan ada yg langsung tak kena. Very twisted. Atau mgkn saya tak cukup jahat utk berfikir bagaimana org jahat berfikir? Hmm....
Atr short stories yg sy suka most dlm Twisted ialah For Services Rendered, The Fall Guy dan The Kneeling Soldier. Tp yg sbnrnya kesemua 17 cerita dlm Twisted ni best belaka.
For Service Rendered, kisah seorg doktor psikologi treat a rich 'sick' lady. The lady claimed she heard her late father's voice. She accused her husband pretended to be the voice to bring her down. After few sessions, he found a fact. Till a day, the lady murdered his husband. She thought she would escape the sentence for her insanity.
Realitinya doktor tu tahu rahsia perempuan ni. Now the jurisdiction will only be based on his testimony. Blackmail lah kiranya ni. The lady kata sggp byr doc brp je tu as long he can help to prove her insanity. As he knew the lady worth USD10mil, dia kata for the service rendered, that lady kena byr dia RM9mil, left her the balance so that she could pay her lawyer and live her life. Huish! Mahalnya? Yg sbnrnya juga doktor tu pun bermasalah. Eloklah tu. Buku jumpa ruas.
The Kneeling Soldier pula buat sy surprise. Tak sangka sbrnya it would end that way. Kisah parents yg trauma bila anak gadis yg mmg mrk jaga bak menatang minyak yg penuh diburu oleh seorg pemuda psiko. The father was very mad, scolded n even threat to murder the boy. One day that boy was found death n d father was convicted for the weapon murder was his golf stick.
Rupa2nya the daughter yg sengaja trap her parents, n bunuh pemuda tu spy bapa dia dituduh dan dipenjarakan. Sebabnya? Sbbnya dia kata bapa dia slm ni kongkong dia tru disiplin melampau. Hmm... sampai mcm tu sekali dia nak get rid of his father dan nak hidup bebas?
Kdg baca buku mcm ni blh buat kita trauma. Buat kita jd sgt suspicious dan ssh nk percaya pd manusia. Ya lah... dah kalau semuanya twisted, cemana nak percaya dgn manusia dan alam sekeliling lagi? Hmm...

As Muslim kita wajib percaya Allah yg merencana semua. Straight ke, oval ke, twisted ke semua atas kehendak Dia. Go with the clock, as per hukum dan sunnah, insyaAllah selamat dunia akhirat. Tapi kalau go anti-clock, terimalah janji Tuhan.
Buat baik dibalas baik. Tp ada jg yg buat baik, dptnya dibalas jahat. Itu balasan dunia, balasan manusia. Ia bukan matlamat hidup. Yg dituju adalah balasan Allah di hari akhir. Senangnya saya cakap, nak buat masya-Allah... Hmm... mmglah ckp tu sng sbb guna lidah. Lidah tak de tulang. Hati pun kalau silap gaya blh twist, inikan pula lidah... hu hu...

Baru cucuk pen-drive, Didik dah menggesel-gesel. Cane nak concentrate? Tak apalah, switch off... tidur je lah... lagipun esok Babang ada ujian LINUX. Anak-anak mari baca doa sebelum tidur!
بِاسْمِكَ اللّهُمَّ أَحْيَاوَأَمُوتُ
Dengan nama-Mu ya Allah aku hidup dan mati
