CHAPTER 53

HOLLAND’S P.O.V

Sungguh kurang sopan kau kasi ketawa abang kau yang dipaksa kahwin dengan perempuan yang tidak tau malu.

Saya terasa pipi saya berdenyut-denyut nyeri kesan dari tamparan Thania’s mom. Saya mengepalkan tangan menahan amarah. I’ve never lifted a hand in violence to any woman in my life.

BDSM with Selena is a different case. Tsk.

“Mom, I think you better leave.” My voice low, saya sedaya upaya mengawal my temper.

“You get your parents ready.” Thania’s mom mengunjuk muka saya.
“For?” saya menatap dia datar.

PLAAAK!

Lagi dia tampar saya. Ni kali terkena bekas tumbukan Justin di sudut bibir saya.

Saya meringis kesakitan.

“Sakit?” dia tersenyum sinis. “Tidak sesakit hati saya bila anak saya mati!” dia menepuk-nepuk dada dia, air mata mula membasahi pipi dia.

“Mom…” Hati saya turut terhiris.

“You don’t call me mom selagi kau tidak kahwin Allana!” she screamed. “My daughter deserves justice!”

Saya terdiam. Lantas saya meneguk liur menahan sebak di dada teringatkan Thania and my kids.

“Justice was served, aunty.” Sydney sounded cold. “Kenapa kau mau menuntut keadilan dari Holland? Bukan dia yang put the bomb in…”

“Syd!” Saya menghentikan kata-kata Sydney.

“Shut up, Hol!” Huh? Adik durhaka.

Then he turned to Thania’s mom dan sambung kata-kata dia.
“in the car. What kind of justice are you claiming, aunty? You're in high up society but your brains are so low in IQ!”

Is he saying sel-sel otak Thania’s mom tidak berhubung?

PLAAAK!

Nah kan… I warned you, Syd.

Macam saya mau ketawa pun ada.

“My mother never slapped me.” That’s true, Syd. Mom belum pernah tampar kita. Kalau dad tu lain ceritalah. Bukan tampar, tapi tempiling, kena rotan, kena hambat pakai tali pinggang gara-gara nakal masa budak-budak. Tsk tsk. “We were raised to respect our elders, and to respect women.”

Saya nampak rahang Sydney mula mengeras.
“Respect is not deserved, respect is earned through your behavior. And you, Datin Glenda Ong, do not deserve respect from me. From any of us Robinsons.”

Thania’s mom memang macam singa betina. Dia tidakpun minta maaf atas perbuatan dan kata-kata kesat dia kepada saya dan Sydney. Malah dia tambah lagi membentak kami.

“Kau ingat kau siapa?! Who do you think you are?!” Ya, saya memang tau Thania’s mom seseorang socialite yang sombong. Tapi kesombongan dia never directed at any of us sampailah sekarang.

“Mom…” Suara saya bagaikan amaran kepada Thania’s mom.

Between Sydney and myself, kami sama-sama ada temper. Tapi temper Sydney lebih dahsyat dari saya. I might be the serious one, Sydney’s the joker. But when it comes to temper, Sydney yang pemenang. That little rascal shot Fuckermeerkhan and he nearly shoot Kurtis Bestian. So I can’t risk Thania’s mom provoking Sydney’s temper.

“Stop calling me mom!” Astaga. Patutlah bah Sydney ketawa tadi. Makin lama makin menggelikan hati pula. And honestly, I’m tired of her screams, bikin migraine. The only screams I wanna hear is Selena’s as I pumping in and out of her.
