Arhan Hattar

Chapter 22

"Arhan Hattar......Really a psychotic bi*ch."

Mendengar pernyataan aku membuatkan Hayden tanpa sengaja menyemburkan air yang berada di dalam mulutnya tu sebelum lelaki ni tergelak besar.

"Why though?"

" 'Cause he said that he will be gone for a week.But it's like....7 days now."

"7 days equal a week Arfa."

Aku terdiam.

"Not 5 days?"

"Wah....I'm speechless."

Eh laki ni.Aku hempuk karang.Nak spechless-speechless pulak.

Hah....

"Don't worry too much.That guy will be back soon-"

Tak sempat Hayden ingin menghabiskan kata-katanya, mamat psycho yang aku mengumpat tadi terus muncul di depan pintu ni lalu dia berjalan naik ke tingkat atas sambil berkata;

"I'm gonna borrow your clothes."

To Hayden and didn't even look at me.

Damn....

There's blood splatter all over his shirt.

A few hours ago;

"F*ck!Ariq!!"

Tiada sahutan kedengaran.

Where the hell is that guy?

Promise konon yang dia tak akan terbunuh but lansung takde effort nak angkat call aku. Which lead to my increasing worry of him.

Aku mengalihkan pandangan ke sekeliling dewan ni and boleh nampak Arian hanya duduk di atas salah satu bangku yang terdapat di tempat ni sambil lelaki tu melelapkan mata manakala kedua-dua belah kaki dan tangannya pula disilangkan.

Wah....looks like his insomnia is getting worse.

But suprisingly when someone was aproching him, he just woke up from his sleep and kill that guy.

Ugh.....refleks.....I guess?

And when our eyes met, he just nod towards me before continue his sleep. Wow....that guy still cold as usual.

Okay...Enough about Arian.

Where the hell is Ariq?

Baru je aku nak menukar tempat persembunyian kepada tempat lain, tiba-tiba je ada seorang lelaki datang dari mana entah and terus menarik-narik hujung seluar suit aku ni.

"What?"

"P-please! You're Master Arhan right? Genovese? P-please. Just this once. Help me!!"

I start to crouch while slap his hands away.

"And why should I do that?"

"P-please. I'm begging you. I'm not ready to die ye-"

And tak sempat lelaki ni nak menghabiskan ayatnya, ada orang lain dah melepaskan tembakan tepat ke arah dahinya.

Perlahan-lahan aku mendongakkan kepala.

And I can see...

My 'dad' is standing right in front of me.

While having Ariq in his hand.

Lelaki tak guna ni masih tidak melepaskan genggamannya dari terus-menerus mencengkam rambut Ariq dan hanya memberikan pandangan kosongnya kepada aku.

And Ariq?

That guy.....

His mouth is bleeding. His body is bleeding. His shirt is full of blood. And his eyes....

Hah....

He just close his eyes.

But disebabkan dadanya masih berombak, I believe that guy is still alive.

'Ayah' akhirnya melepaskan genggamannya dari rambut Ariq yang mana membuatkan kepala lelaki tu terhempas kasar ke atas lantai dewan ni.

"I thought he was your friend."

Aku mula berdiri sambil mengibas-ngibas habuk yang terdapat di suit ni sebelum mula membuka mulut.

"Yeah. You right about the part of he being my friend. But I still remember the part of you, saying "I've made a deal with Ariq's family" before. So I believe you can't kill him because of his family being the biggest contributor to our family."

This old man doesn't open his mouth for a couple of minutes sebelum tiba-tiba je dia tergelak besar.

"Yeah you right. Looks like you still my son after all."

Dia berkata sambil berlalu pergi lalu mengusap kepala aku.

Ugh! I hate when he do that.

"And don't worry. I can't kill him after all if not because of the deal. This event had ended a few minutes ago."

* * *

"So....How's Ariq?"

"Arfan's hospital."

"For how long?"

"Maybe 5 weeks? I don't know. Didn't listen to him that much. Just heard that Ariq has several broken ribs."

Hayden akhirnya terdiam lalu lelaki tu mengeluh panjang.

Dia meramas rambutnya kasar sebelum berkata;

"If only I was there."

"Hah....no Hayden. This is not your fault. It just....you know. Family problem."

Hayden tergelak kecil mendengar ayat terakhir aku tu.

"So....kau pulak macam mana?"

Aku mengalihkan pandangan ke arah Arfa.

"What? What do you mea-"

"It's exactly what I mean. I'm asking how you're doing?"

Lama aku memandang ke arah Arfa lalu mengeluh panjang.

Tangan digosokkan ke belakang leher untuk beberapa kali sebelum aku mencapai kedua-dua belah tangan perempuan tu.

"I'm fine. Really. See?"

Aku melepaskan tangan Arfa lalu kedua-dua belah jari telunjuk ditunjukkan ke arah 'senyuman' aku yang terukir di bibir semasa menekankan perkataan 'see' sebelum perlahan-lahan Arfa mencapai tangan aku semula lalu menariknya ke bawah.

Lama dia mengusap belakang tapak tangan aku sebelum kepalanya diangkat.

"Don't force yourself."

And somehow, hearing that sentence make me just want......to.....cry for the first time in my entire life.

Not even death's mom succeed in making me cry.
