Bulan Fajar

14

BULAN di luar, aku tenung.

Epal hijau dikunyah.

No thoughts for tonight.

Let's just stare into the Selene.

She's beautiful isn't it?

Mrs. Selene. Unreal.

"Kau suka bulan?" Fajar duduk di tepi aku dengan buku di tangannya. Kaki disilangkan lalu cermin matanya dipakai. Rambut hitam lebat itu pula dikuak kebelakang sambil badannya diregangkan.

"Nama aku kan Bulan? Haha jokes aside but you say it. Moon, stars, the dark, nights, deep blue sea, rain, winter, cloudy skies, I love them all."

"Why though?"

"Sometimes we don't need a reason why. We just do." aku buang tulang epal ke dalam tong sampah.

"But I personally think that moon is just beautiful. When the world is dark and quiet, she shines the most. Even when the atmosphere around her is depressing and ebony, people still could see the beauty of her existence." aku hirup susu badam panas yang dibuat Ina tadi.

"She shines in the dark."

"That's what I'm trynna be."

"To shine eventho my life is depressing and ebony" aku angguk sendiri.

Fajar belek bukunya. Mencari di mana tempat dia berhenti membaca sebelum ini. "Nah, shine doesn't suit you." tawa kecilnya terletus.

"Whatever." aku sandarkan badan pada kerusi. Bulan masih di tenung. "Whatever you say, nerd."

"You don't have to shine but to bloom. I think bloom suits you enough." Fajar terangguk-angguk sendiri. "To bloom and to be bloomed." bibirnya dicebik.

"Hang ingat aku bunga ka?" muka keliru ditayang.

"Dah tu kau nak shine sangat, kau ingat kau tu bulan ke? It's just a parable la." muka toyanya diberi.

"Nama aku Bulan kan? So what about it?" aku gelak dalam hati. Sengaja sebenarnya buat-buat lembab ni.

"Annoying la perempuan ni. Blah ah sana." bahu aku ditolak menggunakan hujung bucu bukunya.

"Lamak ai ko la blah. Ni rumah nenek ko ke?" aku buat muka jijik. Buku itu aku tolak.

"Kau rasa?"

Seketika, aku berfikir.

Oh, yalah.

Ni rumah nenek dia.
