CHAPTER 6
Back to SELENA’s P.O.V
Dekat 2 jam sudah saya berjalan kaki… langit pun gelap sudah…
Saya teruskan berjalan dengan kaki yang terasa lesuh tanpa selipar atau kasut… saya tidak terbawa handphone saya masa saya lari tadi… manalah saya boleh ingat mau membawa handphone dalam keadaan cemas macam tu…
Dan sekarang saya sangat lapar… aihhh, ni perut tidak habis-habis juga rasa lapar...
I passed by a little boy who looked like he’s younger than 6 or 7 munching on his street burger… bapa dia sedang bersandar against the body of a car sambil bercerita dengan kawan dia…
Perut saya bergendang kelaparan, saya menelan liur nampak tu burger di tangan tu budak, but I managed to smile at the boy and just walked pass him…
6 steps ahead, saya terasa ada yang menepuk-nepuk bahagian pinggang saya… saya menoleh and saw the little boy with the street burger tadi… dia menghulurkan saya sebuah plastic yang berisi burger juga…
He looked up at me with hope in his eyes… hoping I will accept his offer…
“ini untuk mummy saya, tapi kakak ambil lah… nanti daddy saya beli lagi tu…”“betul ni?” saya tanya sambil tersenyum lembut… daddy dia tidak marah kah nanti?
The little boy membalas senyuman saya sambil mengangguk…
I took the plastic from his hands…
“thank you…” saya mengesat air mata saya dengan perasaan terharu…“you’re welcome…” so cute… he’s very well-mannered… tersentuh hati saya…
I tried to be polite and wanted to thank him properly… so I asked…
“what’s your name?”“Jason…” dia jawab… “Choong…”
“Thank you, Jason… Choong…” I patted his head… cutenya… dia bagitau lagi bah nama penuh dia…
When I looked up, his dad is already walking towards us… I looked up at his dad… sama handsome bapa dan anak… iihh! ada hati kau bilang uncle-uncle pun nampak handsome, Sel… tidak lagi kau trauma dan jijik tu sama uncle-uncle after what Uncle Howard did to you? gila!
“let’s go, Junior… mommy’s calling us already…” he took Jason’s hands and smiled at me before walking away with Jason…
So he’s the junior of his father, Jason Senior… sama handsome, sama nama lagi… tsk tsk…
Jason sempat pusing balik…
“you can call me Junior!” sambil tangan dia melambai-lambai saya…Saya tersenyum… such a cute boy…
And I continued walking while munching on the burger that Jason Choong Junior sedekahkan kepada saya… ada satu tin cola lagi dalam tu plastic…
I smiled happily, lama sudah saya tidak menikmati makanan dan minuman macam ni…
***
Saya sedang berjalan menuju ke destinasi yang tiada arah tujuan…
No destination… just walking away from all of the misery that life served me on a broken platter…
I felt the blisters di tapak kaki saya… sudahlah telapak tangan saya blister gara-gara cuci kain yang berlambak… sekarang kaki saya lagi blister kerana berjalan di atas tar jalan raya yang kasar, tapak tanah yang berbatu-bata dan rumput yang berduri…
I bet it’s not only blisters, but my feet are also bleeding…
Terlalu penat… mata saya kuyu sudah... and puffy from both lack of sleep and crying too hard… but I had to keep on walking… just walk, Sel… although you never know where it will take you…
