I want Love (522)

Part 5 - I think I love you

1 minggu berlalu.

Ju Yeong imo mula sedar dari komanya. Semenjak kejadian itu, Song Ji Hyo dan Wonu sering bermesej bertanya khabar. Mereka juga kerap keluar bersama. Bukan atas kehendak Ji Hyo, dia cuma mengikuti pemintaan imonya sahaja.

Wonu: Jamshil manyeo imo. I'll go and buy some water.
Ju Yeong Imo senyum dan mengangguk. Wonu terus bergegas keluar untuk membeli air di kafe.

Ju Yeong imo: Who is he?
Ji Hyo: Hmm just friends of mine.
Ju Yeong imo: He looks kind. U sure you have nothing with him?
Ji Hyo: Imoo....(dia menarik muka masam, tidak mahu imonya itu membuka cerita untuk menjodohkan dia dengan sesiapa)

Ju Yeong imo menarik tangan Ji Hyo dan mengusap-usap tangan anak buah kesayangannya itu.

Ju Yeong imo: Ji Hyo-ah, u know that i won't be long here right? Doc said that i only have two months and half left. I couldn't go if i don't see u have a partner. Who can take care of you. Who can love you sincerely until the end. I know no one can take care of u better than me. I know I'm being selfish, but this is for ur own good. From what i see, that kid is different. I can see love from his eyes towards you. If not, how can he keep on come here with you for nothing?

Ji Hyo hanya terdiam. Tiada kata yang mampu diungkapkan.

Wonu berjalan bersama-sama dengan Ji Hyo di taman berdekatan. Dari belakang, Ji Hyo memerhati lelaki itu sebaiknya.

Ji Hyo: Wonu-shi,...
Wonu: Noona, let's date.(dia mengalih ke belakang untuk menghadap Ji Hyo)
Ji Hyo: What??!!
Wonu: U see, i've heard everything that ur unty said just now. That's true that i have feeling for u. At first i thought it just a simple crush. But being with u until now, i realized that noona is very kind and have a warmed heart and I know that i like u. A lot. I know this may sound crazy to u, but maybe we can try few dates before making it real. And maybe it can helps make ur aunty happy.

Ji Hyo terkejut dengan pengakuan Wonu. Dia menutup melutnya. Dia cuba fikir semasak-masaknya apa yang disampaikan oleh Wonu.
'Date? How can we date if we're not love each other', bisik hati Ji Hyo.
Namun, dengan cara ini mungkin dia dapat menggembirakan imonya. Mungkin ini yang terbaik. Dia harus cuba.

Wonu: Hmmm??
Ji Hyo: I'm sorry. But have u thought this matter deeply? Are u sure that u like me? I'm sorry but I don't think i share the same feelings as u. Im scared, I'm making a wrong mistake by letting u love me...i..i..
Wonu: Noona, shuhh (dia meletakkan jarinya pada bibir munggil Song Ji Hyo). Listen, I know. I'm not forced u to love me. I know there's possibility u didn't like me. Just...just, let me take care of you. I want to make u happy. Make ur unty happy with all my ability. We give it try for few months, if u still cannot love me, I'll accept that. No worries. Okay? (Dia memandang Ji Hyo tepat pada matanya. Ibu jarinya mengusap-usap pipi perempuan itu. Dia bersungguh-sungguh meyakinkan perempuan di hadapanyya itu)

Song Ji Hyo terharu mendengar setiap kalimat yang diungkapkan oleh Wonu. Air matanya jatuh mengalir di pipi.

_________________________________________
Semenjak itu, dia dan Wonu tinggal bersama. Tidak tumpah seperti pasangan kekasih, hati Ji Hyo mula bertaut dengan kebaikan Wonu. Sepanjang mereka bersama, tidak pernah sekali pun dia melakukan perkara yang menyakitkan hatinya.
Dia tahu hatinya semakin bertaut dengan lelaki itu.
"I'll confess to u when the times come", bisik Ji Hyo.
