Aria' s POV
Suasana sunyi bagai dilanggar garuda menyelebungi ruang tamu ini . Aku pandang wajah Joseph yang berada di sebelahku . Tenang tapi beku . Matanya tajam memandang ke arah ayah nya , Encik Sulaiman yang duduk bertentangan dengan kami .Aku pandang wajah Tengku Elyana , kelihatan gelisah di tempat duduknya . Dingin saja suasana saat ini . Meremang bulu romaku . Debar di dada usah dikata .
Chin up , ma choupinette . Don't let them know your fear . Fake it until you make it .
Kata - kata Joseph ketika aku memberitahunya yang aku tak yakin nak berjumpa dengan kedua ibu bapa nya bergema di dalam kepala .
Aku hembus nafas perlahan . Aku tegakkan dudukku . Aku dongak kepala sedikit tanda yakin . Lagipun aku nak takut apa , Joseph ada di sampingku .
" What's wrong with you , Joseph ? " , suara Encik Sulaiman memecahkan suasana hening di antara kami . Tiada langsung senyuman di wajahnya . Dia jeling aku sekilas .
" What ? " , tanya Joseph pula pada ayahnya . Mukanya selamba sahaja .
" Why are you bringing her here ? " , dapat ku tangkap nada geram dalam soalan Encik Sulaiman.
" She's my future wife ", ujar Joseph penuh yakin .
" Kenapa mesti jalang ni jugak yang nak dijadikan isteri ?! " , suara Encik Sulaiman bergema di ruang tamu ni . Mukanya merah menahan marah . Tersentak aku di tempat duduk .
" Cause I want her " , tekan Joseph . Aku perasan tangannya dikepalkan tanda menahan amarah .
" And don't you dare call her jalang " , mata Eusoff berubah gelap . Ditenung Encik Sulaiman dalam - dalam .
" Papa tak setuju ! " , bantah Encik Sulaiman .
" Heh . Did you forgot what you said before? You just gave me a choice whether to give you an heir or lose my authority over Hotel La Veigh . You don't gave me an options who exactly my wife to be . Suka hati Joseph la nak siapa jadi isteri Joseph " , sinis tutur kata Joseph .
" Why must be her ? "
" I told you cause I want her "
" If Joseph nak teruskan juga dengan plan Joseph , then I' ll not give the Hotel La Veigh back to you " , ugut Encik Sulaiman .
" Do I really have to remind you that the only term we agreed is to give you an heir ? I respect you as my dad but I'll not hesitate to sue you for taking my authority over Hotel La Veigh . Hotel La Veigh is mine since back then . You should gave it to me back after my recovery . But you didn't . Instead you blackmail me with this bullshit things . So the real bandit is you , Papa " , kata Eusoff sambil menyilangkan kedua tangannya duduk bersandar di atss sofa . Wajahnya angkuh memandang ke arah Encik Sulaiman tanda dia tak akan mengubah keputusannya .
Encik Sulaiman pula seakan hilang kata .Matanya meliar cuba mengelak pandangan kami berdua .
" I respect and accept your decision when you decided to marry Ibu while Mama was dying on her bed . You two went to honeymoon happily while Mama struggling until her last breath . So why can't you did the same thing to me ? Respect my decision . I 'll respect yours " , dapat ku lihat Tengku Elyana tertunduk malu . Muka Encik Sulaiman pula pucat bila Joseph mengungkit kisah silam keluarga mereka .
" Papa tak restu ! " , Encik Sulaiman masih tak mahu mengalah .
" I don't lose anything . Still you had to hand over Hotel La Veigh to me . Or else , I'll see you in the court " , terasa pahit liur yang aku telan . Aku rasa bersalah kerana menjadi asbab pergaduhan anak beranak ini .
