Efran memerhatikan kereta yang tanpa henti melintasi pandangannya walaupun sebenarnya dia hanya memandang kosong. Dia berfikir sambil bermonolog sendiri.
Am I doing the right thing?
Would they accept me back?
Kereta Tesla hitam bergerak perlahan dihapannya. Kereta di park dan muncul seorang lelaki yang cukup dikenalinya. Lelaki itu berpakaian suit lengkap berwarna grey.
Efran meletakkan cawan yang dipegang tadi ke atas meja dan betulkan tali lehernya. Bajunya juga dikemaskan. Nervous bethol.
Lelaki itu menarik pintu dan masuk ke dalam Starbuck mencari Efran. Setelah nampak kelibat Efran, dia terus menuju ke arahnya.
" Aaa.. Akem—"
" I don't have much time so you better do it fast."
Tutur Azreef tanpa langsung memandang wajah Efran, Azreef terus melabuhkan punggungnya di kerusi berhadapan Efran.
Efran diam. Dia dah biasa dilayan sebegini.
" I called you here, just to clear things." Nafas ditarik dalam dalam.
"What is this about?" Soal Azreef.
"You, me, and.. "
"..your wife."
Azreef terus memandang Efran.
"Sounds interesting. Go on." Balas Azreef.
Walaupun perit bagi Efran, dia perlu terima. Dengan bismillah yang disebut secara perlahan, dia menarik nafas dan terus memandang Azreef.
"I'm really sorry for what I did, and what happened between us."
"I know that it would be hard for you to accept me back as your brother but I just wanna ask for your forgiveness." Sambil menunduk Efran menutur.
"I've planned to meet her too but yes, with your permission or any other way- I don't mind, as long as you both forgive me." Matanya memandang Azreef.
"So tell me your regrets." Balas Azreef.
Efran inhale and exhale before dia membalas.
"I could not accept it.. The reality. I realised that I didn't defend our relationship at the first place."
Azreef masih mendengar. Dia tak busy pon senanye.
"I made her lost her hopes on me. I left her hanging. I made her feel like she was just an option."
Efran inhale exhale.
"I told her to love you."
Mata mereka bertemu. Azreef tak percaya apa yang dia dengar dan Efran pula rasa takut nak teruskan penjelasan dia. Takut yang Azreef tak selesa.
