#38 Hectic day
Hujan bila musim panas is refreshing.
But hujan yang berhari-hari can cause a disaster.
This time I compare it with Daniel.
I have no idea why he texting and called me every night.
And a lot of our calls tak pernah sampai lima minit pun.
But apa yang aku rasa tak sama macam apa yang aku rasa dengan Afiq dulu.
Aku rasa dia macam tu sebab dia lonely.
“ Nak pergi sama-sama meeting esok?”
“ Tak kot.”
“ Okay.” Daniel angguk.
One of the thing I hate most ialah.
Bangun awal pagi sebab ada meeting.
Kelam kabut jalan pergi meeting room.
Sampai sana ramai orang dah ada, cuma meeting belum start.
Nampak Daniel angkat tangan.
Terus pergi dekat dia.
Semput.
Dia tarik kerusi.
“ Tak ada orang ke?” Aku tanya sambil tunjuk kerusi. My voice barely heard.
Daniel geleng. “ I save a place for you.”
Aku terus duduk. Kepala letak kat meja.
“ Dah pukul 8 ni. Kenapa meeting tak start lagi?”
Mata Daniel kat handphone. “ Actually the meeting starts at 9.”
Yawned.
“ Diorang bagi salah info kat kita.”
Aku mengeluh.
Kalau tahu tadi sempat mandi jugak.
“ Mandi tak ni?”
He’s a mind reader. I knew it!
“ Mandilah. “
Dia gelak dan geleng-geleng.
Mencebik.
“ Semalam tidur lewat gila, baca nota, PBL...”
I don’t know why but suddenly Daniel froze. Mata dia kat handphone je.
Dia tak bergerak langsung.
Aku jadi pelik. Perlahan-lahan usha sekeliling.
“ Daniel?”
Terkejut. Toleh belakang.
Mulut melopong.
That pink girl.
His ex.
Daniel tengok perempuan tu. Expressionless.
“ Awak buat apa kat sini?” Ex dia tengok Daniel dengan muka tak percaya and dia tengok aku sekilas.
Sebab aku usha dia.
“ Well, yang datang sini sebab nak meeting je kan?”
Jawapan Daniel macam sarcastic sikit. Muka ex dia berubah.
Aku pura-pura tengok phone.
“ Saya tak tahu awak masuk UniX. Dah lama saya cari awak.”
Mata membulat. Tapi aku tak rasa dia nampak.
“ Well, here I am.”
Daniel hilang cool bila jumpa ex-girlfriend. And this is seriously uncool.
Main angry bird sambil pasang telinga.
“ You know what, exactly I lose your number...”
Aku rasa macam ex dia agak daring.
Or maybe he ran away from her, not the vice versa.
“ Well, erm, i’ll text you my number. Still pakai nombor lama ke?”
Daniel macam nerd gila bila jumpa ex dia.
I don’t know why, but serius aku tak puas hati.
Eh, kenapa khinzir misai ni tak nak mati ha?
“ Well, sure.” Suara ex dia dengar macam happy and awkward at the same time. “ Err... Jumpa lagi nanti.”
Aku tengok Daniel sekilas. Dia senyum. Ex dia blah pergi depan sikit.
Aku pandang Daniel lama.
Daniel tengok handphone.
“ What happened just now?”
Daniel snorted. “ Don’t tell me you got jealous.”
Rolled my eyes. “ You are so not you bila dengan dia.”
“ I don’t need any comment.”
Daniel terus pandang depan bila pengerusi dah nak start majlis.
Aku rasa sakit hati.
Serius.
Balik mesyuarat dia macam nak lari dari aku. Aku cepat-cepat kejar dia.
“ I want an explanation.” Aku mendesak.
“ There’s nothing to be explain of.”
Aku berdiri depan dia. Dia terkejut.
Dia ke kiri. Aku halang kiri. Ke kanan, aku halang kanan.
He tried to run, but I pulled his bag.
“ Kalau tak ada explanation, kenapa nak lari?”
“ Could you PLEASE!!!” Daniel tarik beg dia. Muka bengang.
Aku berdiri depan dia sambil peluk tubuh.
And I’m not smiling at all.
“ Apa?” Muka Daniel annoyed.
“ You know what I want.”
“ We’re just talking.”
Aku kecikkan mata. “ You’re trying to get her back don’t you? You plan all this bukan sebab nak tunjuk kat dia you have a girlfriend, that you can live without her. But you wanted to get her back don’t you?”
Daniel larikan pandangan mata dia. “ You’re just jealous and you’re wrong. That’s what I want to do.”
“Hah!” Gelak perli. “ Kalau ya, why don’t you introduce me to your ex?”
Daniel betul-betul buat muka menyampah. “ Motif nak intro you to my ex?”
Okay. Now he started to be harsh.
Aku pejam mata. Tarik nafas. Buka mata balik.
“ Fine. But I want to know the whole story. Kenapa nampak macam she’s the one looking for you and you’re the one running away from her?”
Daniel buat muka. Dia maybe fikir yang statement aku tak logic.
“ Mana ada lari-lari.” Daniel pura-pura gelak. “ Can we drop this topic?”
Daniel mula berjalan laju. Aku ikut rapat dari belakang.
“ You should tell me Daniel. Tolonglah jujur. Nampak betul hipokrit tadi...”
Terus membebel.
Dia berhenti tiba-tiba. “ Yes. I still love her. So what?”
Aku terpaku kat situ.
Tergamam.
“ Just like you and Afiq, you have no right to complaint so much. We’re even.”
Sentap.
Daniel terus tinggalkan aku.
Aku still berdiri kat situ.
Balik bilik aku jadi diam.
Petang tu Dalia call.
Still rasa tak sabar nak jumpa next week.
“ Beb, apa dah jadi dengan mamat tu?”
“ Sapa?”
“ Apa nama dia? Daniel?”
Gulp.
“ Well, erm, we just friends.”
Dalia gelak. “ Memangla kawan. Takkan dah bercinta kan? Kau mesti report kat aku kan?”
Dalia always makes thing goes difficult.
But I’m the one making it harder.
Malam tu masa rasa bergerak lambat.
Rocket fills the air.
Tengok caller’s name.
Pejam mata dan buat bodoh.
Berhenti bunyi sekejap.
Bunyi lagi lepas lima minit.
“ Hello?”
“ Afiq, I’m kinda busy right now... Boleh tak kau...”
“ Aku gaduh dengan Amy.” Afiq potong cakap aku.
Aku terdiam.
“ And.. and why on earth would you tell me that?” Aku tanya bila dah boleh bercakap balik.
“ Long story. Boleh jumpa tak esok?”
“ Err...”
Hesitate.
“ It’s okay kalau Daniel marah...”
“ Dia bukan laki aku nak control aku.”
Marah aku kat Daniel belum habis I think.
“ Ok then.” Afiq macam terkejut. “ Tasik?”
“ Okay. Pukul 11 la.”
“ Hmm...”
And this hectic day will continue tomorrow. |

#39 Pain
Pagi tu sampai kat DK agak awal.
Aku ambil tempat di barisan kelima dari hadapan.
Berfikir sebentar nak simpan tempat untuk Daniel atau tak.
Aku letak beg kat atas kerusi sebelah.
Buka nota dan baca.
Lima minit lepas tu makin ramai orang dalam DK. Aku tertengok-tengok jugak in case Daniel datang.
But instead, I saw Afiq climbing the DK staircase and look for me.
Aku buat selamba.
Aku akui rasa ‘excited’ bila jumpa dia tak hilang lagi.
He’s someone boyfriend, Reni!
“ Reni.”
Aku senyum.
“ Jumpa lepas kuliah nanti eh. Aku tunggu kau kat luar.” Afiq’s tone quite soft.
But desperate.
Aku angguk.
Afiq senyum and terus naik atas lagi.
I watched him.
Bila aku pandang depan aku nampak Daniel pandang aku. Expressionless.
Aku teragak-agak untuk senyum.
Dia alihkan pandangan dan naik atas jugak.
Aku pandang bawah.
Biarlah dia.
Sepanjang lecture aku focus. Tak ada masa nak fikir pasal diorang. Final dah nak dekat.
Pukul 11 keluar DK dengan debar.
“ Reni.” Afiq lambai kat aku.
Aku senyum.
“ So what happened?” Aku tanya.
“ Let’s walk okay?”
Aku makin blur.
After three months and suddenly Afiq be so nice to me?
“ How are you?”
Aku pelik dengan soalan Afiq. Tapi aku diam je.
“ Fine.” Nada happy yang plastic. “ Kau?”
Dia pandang aku. Mata bertentang mata.
Pandang lantai.
Afiq sengih tawar.
Jalan dengan senyap sampai tasik.
Duduk atas bench. Ada group of students buat aktiviti agak jauh daripada kami.
“ What happened between both of you?” Aku tanya bila Afiq cuma diam and tengok ke arah tasik.
“ Just a small fight.”
Kening terangkat.
“ Sorry Afiq, but no offense. Aku still tak faham kenapa kau bagitau aku...”
Afiq tengok aku.
“ Seriously Reni. I miss you.”
Aku terkejut. Tergamam. Terkedu. Mulut ternganga.
Jantung aku maam berhenti sekejap.
Mata aku tak lepas tengok muka Afiq.
“ I truly miss everything about you. Cara kau cakap, cara kau senyum, cara kau selalu marah aku.”
Blur.
Afiq tergelak tiba-tiba. Gelak paksa.
“ I shouldn’t have told you this.” Afiq geleng-geleng and pandang rumput.
Aku pandang depan. Tutup mulut.
Rasa macam mimpi.
Tak. Aku tengah mimpi.
Cubit pipi.
Nothing’s changed.
Dua-dua diam. Tak tahu apa nak cakap.
Membisu.
Dengar bunyi burung. Bunyi air.
“ Reni.”
Aku terjaga.
Terkebil-kebil.
“ Aku mintak maaf. Aku tak patut cakap macam tu kat kau. I’m sorry. I feel bad for Daniel though...”
“ Exactly Afiq.” Aku potong cakap Afiq. “ Daniel and I... Kitorang tak pernah couple pun.”
Afiq pulak diam. Tengok aku lama.
“ Sorry.”
Diam lagi.
“ It’s just a slip out. “
“ It’s okay Reni. Aku paham.”
Terkejut bila Afiq cakap macam tu.
Afiq tarik nafas dan lepas. “ Can we start all over again?”
Aku kejung.
“ Err...” Aku jadi gagap. “ Amy?”
“ We broke up last night.” Afiq tak tengok aku.
Aku terdiam.
“ Reni, aku nak kita balik macam dulu. We do everything together. That’s what I want.”
Aku diam. Tangan menggeletar. Genggam baju dengan kuat.
“ Aku tau aku salah. Aku tak macam dulu sejak aku dengan Amy. But believe me. I truly miss you.”
Aku tak tahu macam mana nak gambarkan perasaan aku.
I wanna jump because I’m too happy, but at the same time I wanna dunk my head in the water.
Berbelah bagi.
“ It’s okay if you need time. I can wait.”
Aku diam. Afiq bangun dan cakap dia pergi dulu.
Aku angguk. Still membisu.
Lama aku termenung dekat tasik.
Berfikir.
Perlahan-lahan aku bangun dan jalan balik ke hostel.
Ternampak dua orang lain jugak dekat tasik.
And I’m so familiar with that guy.
Daniel.
Dia tak nampak aku.
And he’s with.
His ex.
Perempuan tu macam tengah pujuk dia. Aku tengok Daniel cuma diam.
Bila Daniel angkat muka dia terus terpandang aku. Aku cepat-cepat pandang depan dan jalan dengan selamba.
Maybe they’ll be together again.
And that’s what he want.
But what about me?
Sampai bilik aku terus lepak atas katil. Renung siling.
Tiba-tiba ada orang serbu masuk dalam bilik.
She went to me.
Pap!
I closed my eyes. Inhaling.
Sabar Reni.
“ Kenapa kau rampas boyfriend aku ha tak guna!”
The pain stings. Tahan air mata keluar. Air mata sakit.
Inhaling. Exhaling. Trying to be cool.
“ Aku taula kau kawan dengan dia dah lama. Asyik-asyik cerita pasal kau. Back up kau bagai. Eh, sial! Dia tu boyfriend aku ar. Kau ingat kau boleh rampas dia suka hati.”
I cannot meet her face. Not because I’m afraid of her. But because I afraid that I’ll slap her back.
“ Dasar perempuan ha*r*m!!!!Macamla tak ada jantan lain kau nak amik! Pantang betul aku kalau orang rampas boyfriend aku.”
She kept screaming like a maniac. And I still keep my mouth shut.
Aku perasan ada orang dekat pintu bilik aku yang ternganga.
Dapat tengok wayang free kan hari ni.
“ Hei! JAWABLAH BA**!!!”
Yeah. I couldn’t stand it anymore.
This time she hold her cheeks and cry.
“ Firstly, aku tampar kau sebab kau panggil aku ba**.”
Monotone.
“ Secondly, daripada kau habiskan tenaga atas benda yang aku tak buat, better kau pergi settle dengan Afiq. I have no idea what he did to you and aku tak terlibat dalam hal ni.”
Dia teresak-esak.
“ Thirdly...” Aku tarik nafas lagi. Nak tenangkan degub jantung aku yang dah laju. “ Aku tak bergaduh sebab lelaki. Aku harap kau boleh keluar dari bilik ni sekarang sebelum aku paksa kau keluar dengan cara yang kau takkan suka.”
Monotone again.
Amy menjerit kuat sebelum dia blah dari bilik aku. Dan terus lari keluar. Boleh dengar dia menangis sampai ke bilik aku.
Penonton semua dah balik.
Roommate aku datang dekat.
“ Kau okay ke,Reni?”
Aku angguk dan senyum tawar.
“ I just need to be alone. I’ll be fine.”
Roommate aku tap dekat bahu dua kali then pergi ke katil dia.
Aku baring balik atas katil and felt tired.
Pejam mata. Rasa ada air panas dekat hujung mata.
Can’t I love someone and be loved by someone else? |

#40 Brainwash
In my twenty one years of life, I’ve only been slapped on a face twice.
Once, dengan cikgu aku masa sekolah rendah. She accused me of stealing the class money. It was a big case though.
Guru besar panggil parents aku and I cried a lot that day. I told them I didn’t steal the money.
Then, we found out that the one who stole the money was a friend who sat beside me in class.
Twice, was just now.
And today I had made one new record in Reni’s life.
This is my first time ever to slap someone else.
Pagi tu aku tak ke kelas.
Letih. Badan aku rasa panas.
Pening.
I think I need to call someone.
“ Dalia.”
“ Beb! “ Suara Dalia happy. “ Eh, beb, kau tak ada kelas ke ni?”
“ I’m not feeling well.”
“ Lah, dah pegi klinik belum?” Dalia really sound concerned.
“ Eh, kau ada kuliah ke sekarang?”
“ Tak. Tak. Kuliah aku batal. Tapi tak ada sapa bagitau aku. Hampeh betul. Aku penat je jalan...”
And I just listened to Dalia’s mumble and smiled.
I rather had Dalia’s mumble and lecture than having these.
I’m tired.
Seriously tired.
“ Beb, kenapa call?” soalan Dalia sedarkan aku.
“ Tak ada apalah.”
Aku rasa sebak.
Air mata ni murah sangat.
“ Beb...” Dalia guna tone suara ‘ I smell something fishy here’. “ Kau okay ke tak ni?”
“ Aku okay.” My voice cracked.
“ You’re crying, beb. Aku dengar.”
Sedut air hidung. Nice.
“ Beb, datanglah sini cepat.” Air dah penuh mata.
“ Rileks beb. Cuba bagitau aku apa yang jadi. Sapa buli kau ni?”
Aku ceritakan semuanya kat Dalia.
From Daniel to Afiq.
Afiq and Amy.
Daniel and me.
Dalia cuma dengar. She hmm and ahh sometimes.
And of course she cursed too.
Especially that Amy slapped me part.
“ Ya ALLAH, beb.” Tone suara Dalia terkejut. “ What have you got yourself into?”
“ Aku pun tak tahu. I’m tired now. I can’t think right.”
Dalia diam.
Cuma my sobbing yang dengar.
“ Okay. Aku bagi cadangan la. It’s up to you nak ikut ke tak.”
Sedut air hidung.
“ Firstly, Afiq did asked for you guys to be back together, though aku rasa maksud together tu is not couple...”
“ Maksud kau?”
“ Together macam dulu-dulu. Jalan pi kuliah, makan sama-sama macam dulu. He don’t even say he loves you. Dia cakap dia rindu kau je.”
“ Tak ke kau rasa yang...” Aku garu hidung yang gatal. “ ... kalau dia cakap dia cinta aku, macam benda akan jadi lebih awkward?”
Dalia diam lagi. “ Tak tahulah. But for now, let us just assume that he wants to be close as a friend to you macam dulu. Apa yang pentingnya, you have to ask him the truth.”
“ The truth?”
“ Kau kena tanya dia, betul ke tak dia dah broke up dengan Amy. Sebab Amy seems very mad.”
Kata-kata Dalia makes sense.
Terkebil-kebil.
“ About Daniel...” Dalia menggumam panjang. “ Kau kena bagitau dia yang Afiq dah tahu korang bukannya couple. Tapi still aku rasa Daniel ni quite a mystery.”
It’s not only you. Me too.
“ Maybe dia dah re-couple...” Term Dalia. “... dengan ex dia.”
Aku tak sangkal dakwaan Dalia.
“ Macam nilah. Kita kan dah nak jumpa minggu depan. Kau kenalkanlah aku dengan Daniel tu.”
Aku diam je.
Disebabkan petang tu ada lab, so aku terpaksa jugak pergi dengan badan yang lemah.
“ Eh, kau okay ke? Pagi tadi tak nampak kau kat DK.”
Soalan budak kuliah aku, aku jawab dengan senyum je.
Dan bila aku berjalan ada yang tengok-tengok aku.
Ni sah kes wayang semalam.
“ Reni.”
Afiq datang tegur aku dengan muka yang concern.
For sure dia tahu cerita kan?
“ I’m really...”
“ Afiq, kalau kau nak cakap pasal apa yang jadi semalam kat aku, aku mintak sangat kau tolong diam. Aku tak nak dengar. Sorry.”
Afiq tak jadi buka mulut. Dia terpaku sekejap sebelum blah pergi meja kumpulan dia.
Budak group aku try berlagak selamba.
Tiba-tiba aku rasa ada seseorang duduk sebelah aku.
Aku pandang dia sekilas.
Daniel.
Aku malas nak tegur dia.
He must’ve know about the story.
“ Reni.”
Aku terkejut dia panggil aku.
“ If you’re going to say something about what had happened to me...”
Daniel buat muka paling blur.
“ I just wanna pass this attendance form...”
Dia hulur kat aku borang colour kuning.
Aku cepat-cepat sign dan cover malu.
Lab runs smoothly.
Habis je terus angkat punggung, nak balik.
“ Reni.”
Daniel jerit panggil nama aku.
“ Makan jom.”
Afiq yang ada jugak kat situ pandang aku.
Aku buat tak tahu.
Aku terus keluar dari lab tanpa pandang diorang.
“ Reni!”
Daniel kejar aku.
I wish I had a pair of long legs like his.
“ Jom pergi makan. Nak?”
Diam.
“ Kalau tak nak kita keluar jalan-jalan. Nak?”
Leave me alone, mangkuk.
“ Kalau macam tu...”
“ What’s wrong with you?” Aku tanya dia dalam nada agak marah. “ Memang your mood senang ubah-ubah eh. Hari ni tegur, esok tak nak. Lusa pulak buat bodoh je. “
Dia tengok aku.
“ Kalau nak pergi makan, pergi je. Kalau nak keluar jalan-jalan, go by your own. Tak pun ajak your ex and leave me alone.”
Aku jalan and berharap yang dia tinggalkan aku.
But dia tarik beg aku.
“ Let’s go somewhere and we talk okay?”
Nada Daniel yang sangat soft and persuasive.
Aku pandang anak mata dia lama-lama.
Diam.
Semacam di hypnotised, aku menangguk.
Kami jalan ke kereta MyVi Daniel.
He drove calmly, and minutes later we’re outside of UniX.
He brought me to a park, where somewhere green and windy.
Dia parking depan satu pokok besar and there’s a bench there.
Duduk situ.
Masing-masing still tak bercakap.
“ I usually come here when I feel stressed.”
“ I’m not stress!” Aku cepat-cepat menafikan.
“ Your tone said you do.” Daniel senyum.
Aku jeling dia dan pandang depan.
Muka terasa tegang.
“ I assume that Afiq already knew that we’re not a couple.”
Aku diam lagi.
“ I take that as a yes.”
Aku pandang dia. “ You and your ex?”
Daniel senyum tawar lepas tu menggeleng.
“Nope. Nothing happened.”
“ Dekat tasik hari tu...?”
Daniel still tak pandang aku. “ Dia pujuk... or paksa I guess. But...”
“ But?”
Daniel sengih dan pandang aku.
“ I’m sorry. I was rude to you. I know I am a jerk. Sorry.”
Daniel betul-betul nampak macam a gentleman.
Involuntarily, aku senyum.
“ I told you my story, now tell me yours.”
Snorted. “ Mesti dah tahu kan.” Aku jawab.
Aku mengeluh berat.
“ Letih.” Aku mengadu.
Dia diam dan dengar.
“ Sangat letih.”
“ By the time she slapped me on my face....”
Daniel pandang aku.
“ Rasa macam...”
Susah nak digambarkan dengan kata-kata.
“ I feel lonely.”
Air mata bertakung kat hujung mata.
Aku tak nak Daniel nampak aku menangis.
But dia bagi sapu tangan warna biru laut kat aku.
Aku pandang dia.
Dia senyum.
Aku ambil.
“ So macam mana?”
Aku tengok dia.
“ Macam mana apa?”
“Afiq ajak back together again right?”
Sampai ke situ dia tahu.
Aku angguk.
“ But I don’t know how to reply. “
“ Just take your time to answer him. The answer is within your mind, cuma amik masa sikit bila kita nak figure out jawapan tu.”
Aku tengok dia lagi. “ Is that what had happened to you?”
Daniel jungkit bahu.
“ You said that I want to get her back right?”
Aku angguk.
“ Tujuan asalnya nak balas dendam. Revenge.”
Maksudnya dia gunakan aku?
“ But I don’t feel happy about it. Rasa bodoh. Memang what she and her boyfriend did to me gives pain and hatred. Tapi bila buat macam ni, rasa sakit and kebencian tu tak hilang pun. It grows more and more.”
“ I can get her. But will the feeling be the same again? I don’t love her anymore. Then why should I get her back?”
“ Kat tasik tu, she begged me to forgive her, that she loved me so much. Memang senang je nak jawab, okay, fine, kita couple. But that won’t make me happy.”
Aku dengar apa yang dia cakap dengan teliti.
“ So, Reni...”
I got shiver when she called me in a soft and calming tone.
“ Think wisely. If you still love him, accept him. Forget old stories, make a new one.”
Aku pandang dalam-dalam mata dia.
“ If not, let him go. Kalau tak, korang dua akan rasa sakitnya nanti.”
Perlahan-lahan aku pandang depan.
Mata bergerak-gerak berfikir.
Petang tu aku keluar berbasikal around campus sorang-sorang. Fikirkan apa yang Daniel cakap.
‘ If you love him, forget old stories, make a new one.’
‘ He don’t even say he loves you...’
It’s time to think. |

#41 The two Ds
Things are back to normal after a week.
Things with Afiq quite going well.
Pendek kata, aku berkawan dengan dia. Nothing much.
Walaupun dia dah mula start berperangai macam dulu-dulu.
“ Reni, lama tak dengar khabar ReFi. How is she?”
Senyum. “ ReFi ada dekat rumah. Aku bawa dia balik time balik cuti dulu.”
Muka Afiq berubah.
Exactly ReFi’s in the box somewhere in the store room at my home. Aku bawak balik rumah lepas dia couple dengan Amy.
Things with Daniel.
Comfortable.
Still tak tahu apa nak pakai untuk ganti diri.
And lepas jumpa kat tasik, dia dah tak cerita pasal ex dia.
Dia dah tak pendiam macam dulu.
In fact, dia quite talkative.
“ Erm, Daniel.”
“ Hmm.” Daniel tak tengok aku. Khusyuk baca buku histology.
“ Nak pinjam kereta untuk satu hari boleh? “
“ Hari apa?” Still tak tengok aku.
“ Ahad?”
Berharap.
Dia diam.
Menunggu.
Flip pages buku histo tanpa tengok aku.
Tengok nota balik.
Tak nak bagi pinjam cakap jela.
Mengomel dalam hati.
“ Okay.”
Aku tengok dia sambil sengih.
“ Sengih dah macam selipar koyak.” Daniel tengok dengan muka serius.
Aku still sengih.
Dia ketawa.
Dalia pulak hari-hari call aku.
“ Beb, nanti kita gi jalan-jalan eh. Aku bawak kau.”
Dalia sounds happy too. “ Sure. Sure. Free kan?”
“ Free kalau tuan kereta tak mintak bayaran.”
“ Kau pinjam kereta sapa?” Laju je Dalia tanya.
“ Erm, Daniel.”
“ Wuuuuuu.” Dalia buat nada gatal.
“ Aku ada kelas. Bye.” Terus letak telefon.
Rolled my eyes.
I also have been mumbling about Dalia to Daniel.
“ So, she’s your bestie la?” Daniel tanya masa jalan balik dari lab.
“ Yep. Best ever.” Aku senyum lebar.
“ Then... If she’s your bestie...” Daniel pandang aku. “ What about me?
Aku jadi blur. Try tahan muscle untuk terus senyum.
Daniel ketawa macho.
“ Bergurau je.”
Then dia jalan tengok depan macam biasa.
What he is to me?
“ If both of you are friends, tak adanya korang tak bahasakan diri masing-masing.”
Dalia ngap lagi jajan depan mata.
She arrived at 4 am in the morning and check in with a smelly girl.
Pukul 9 dia ada aktiviti university, sampai pukul 5.
Pukul 8 dia datang lepak bilik aku and cakap nak tidur sini.
Since it’s the starting of weekend tomorrow, and roommate aku balik. So memang port yang paling best lah untuk gossip.
“ Tapi kan...” Aku sedut kopi ais. Bajet tak nak tidur malam ni. “ Maybe dia ikut rentak aku je ke..??”
Dalia ambil kopi ais aku dan sedut. “ A guy won’t hesitate la weh. Kalau dia nak bahasakan diri dia aku, dia guna je. Kalau saya dan awak, dia pakai je saya awak. Kalau dia nak panggil sayang, dia panggil je sayang.” Dalia nudges me.
Aku jeling. “ Sayang sayang tu out of story okay.”
Dalia buat muka gatal. “ I must meet him.”
Aku buat muka terkejut. “ Tolonglah!” Aku macam terjerit sedikit.
Dalia gelak. “ Chill la weh. Aku gurau je.” Dia suap lagi jajan.
Aku buat mata kecik dan pandang dia lama.
“ Aku gurau je!”
Dalia tolak bahu aku.
Aku gelak.
Gosip sampai pukul 3 pagi.
Esok bangun subuh, sambung tidur.
Terjaga bila Rocket kedengaran. Tangan bergerak-gerak capai HP atas meja.
“ Hmm...” Tak boleh buka mata langsung.
“ Rise and shine.” Suara someone cool kat sebelah sana.
Barulah aku tengok skrin HP.
Daniel!
“ Pukul berapa ha?” Suara aku macam Ramli Sarip.
“ Five minutes to 10. “
Shoot.
Aku letak telefon dan nak gerak Dalia.
But Dalia tak ada.
“ Hoi. Kalut semacam je.”
Dalia baru balik dari toilet dengan kepala berbalut towel.
Crap!
Aku berlari ke toilet.
Turun depan Kafe P dengan muka yang agak sembap. But Dalia muka ceria dan cun.
Nampak Daniel bersandar kat kereta MyVi dengan baju kotak-kotak biru and jeans.
Senyum.
Aku angkat tangan kat dia. Muka tak boleh nak senyum.
Not fully awake.
“ Morning.”
Aku buat-buat senyum. “ Kunci kereta?”
Dahi Daniel berkerut. Mulut dia terbuka nak kata sesuatu.
“ Hai. Saya Dalia.” Dalia datang mencelah.
Daniel senyum dan angkat tangan. “ Daniel.”
“ Tahu. Reni tells a lot about you.”
Aku semacam terbatuk bila Dalia cakap macam tu.
“ I see...”
Aku tengok Daniel pelik. Macam dia tahu sesuatu.
“ Dah. Dah. Enough with the intro. Kunci kereta?”
Aku hulurkan tangan kanan aku.
“ Nak drive ke?”
“ Dalia tak ada lessen kereta, so obviously I’m the driver.” Aku jawab soalan Daniel.
“ Kenapa pulak? I can drive.”
Aku pandang Daniel dengan muka tak percaya.
“ You invited me last night.” Balas Daniel.
Bila masa pulak......
Aku tengok Dalia.
Dia cepat-cepat masuk kereta dan duduk seat belakang.
Daniel senyum dan masuk seat driver and aku dengan malasnya buka pintu seat passenger.
Daniel dan Dalia bersembang macam dah kenal lama.
Aku menyampuk apa yang perlu.
Especially bila Dalia start buka sejarah lama.
And all Daniel do was laughing. But of course in a cool macho way.
“ Beb, he’s into you.”
Dalia bisik kat aku masa tengah belek baju. Daniel dekat bahagian men.
“ Suka hati kau je.” Aku letak balik blouse purple cantik tapi harga dia aku tak mampu bayar. “ By the way, bila masa aku jemput dia ha?”
“ Aku tolong jemputkan je.” Dalia buat muka tak bersalah.
“ Macam mana kau dapat number dia?”
“ Kau check la sent item phone kau.”
Aku rasa nak cepuk Dalia.
Daniel brought us to many places. Malls, lake, pantai.
Sampai bilik je letih gila. Terus baring atas katil.
Bleep.
“ You left something in the car.”
“ Beb, kau tinggal benda eh?” Aku tanya Dalia.
Dalia check barang-barang dia.
“ Tak.” Dalia geleng.
Aku check barang-barang aku.
Shaite! Aku tertinggal ‘barang kecik’.
Turun ke depan Kafe P.
“ Mana dia?”
“ At the back seat.”
Aku buka pintu dan ambil plastic yang berisi ‘barang kecik’.
“ Sorry.”
“ No hal.” Daniel macam tengah tahan gelak.
Suspicious. “ Did you opened this plastic bag?”
Dia geleng. “ No I don’t.”
Muka blushing.
“ Sounds like you did.” |
