Matteo memandang Evelynn dari jauh kerana ia sedang duduk bersama sahabat lelakinya. Entah kenapa dia terasa tidak tenang.

Cinta ❤️: Are you angry on me? I can explain. I'll explain everything to you. I promise.

Evelynn membalas pandangan Matteo setelah ia membaca mesej dari suaminya. Dia menggeleng sebelum tersenyum. Matteo tahu bahawa dia tak patut percayakan senyuman itu. Evelynn takkan pernah memberitahu kesusahannya.

Matteo menarik Evelynn keluar dengan perlahan setelah meminta diri dari majlis tersebut. Matteo terus melihat wajah Evelynn.

"I'm sorry."

Evelynn tersenyum.

"Why? For what?" "For hiding something from you. I.. had to hide it." "Is it important? I mean will it affect us? Did you love someone else? Or I'm being a nuisance? Will she come back? She left you?"

Matteo menarik Evelynn ke belakang bangunan tersebut sebelum memeluknya erat.

Evelynn terkelu.

"You're my first love.. and my last one. I swear I never loved someone else because I was crazy in love with you."

Evelynn mengerutkan keningnya.

"Wait.. why does it sounds like you were in love with me for so long? Sejak Universiti? Like, five to.. six years ago?"

Matteo memandang wajah Evelynn. Laju sahaja dia menggeleng.

"Sejak sekolah."

Evelynn terkelu. Entah kenapa jantungnya mula berdegup kencang. Sejak sekolah?

"Sekolah menengah?" "Rendah."

Evelynn menggeleng.

"Are you.. serious? Awak kenal saya sejak sekolah rendah but you're in love with me? Like seriously how? I looked soo damn ugly in school. How did you love me? Seriuslah.."

Evelynn mengerutkan keningnya. Matteo terkelu. Dia sangkakan bahawa Evelynn akan takut, pada dia kerana dia bagai obses dengan wanita itu. Dia terdiam apabila Evelynn berkata begitu.

"Look at me, cinta." "Hmm?" "How did you fall for me since you were in primary school? Awak betul betul pandang wajah saya ke?"

Evelynn memegang kedua dua pipi Matteo lalu Matteo menggeleng.

"Seriously, Evelynn? Itu je yang awak nak tahu? Not how I met you? How I know that you're the same Evelynn I saw when I was 8? No question ke?"

Evelynn merangkul leher Matteo.

"Saya tak nak tanya sebab saya tahu awak akan cerita pada saya bila awak dah selesa and you'll tell me when you trust me."

Matteo terkelu.

"I trust you more than I trust myself because Im not trusting anyone else, baby. It's not because I don't trust you. I'm scared of something else. I'll tell you when I'm sure of it."

Evelynn mengangguk sambil tersenyum. Terus sahaja dia mencium pipi suaminya.

"I love you more than you think I do. So, do not ever question my love for you. I'll never answer that question because.. I don't have words."

Matteo mengendong Evelynn.

"Berani awak kiss saya?" "Why not. You're mine. Plus.. I'm your childhood crush. Berapa ramai je yang bertuah untuk kahwin dengan crush? Awak bertuah tau."

Matteo tersenyum lalu mengangguk.

"I am. I'm the luckiest because this hot women here is my wife. Shall we go home?" "Nope. Im craving for some ice cream. Let's go get it. And then, saya nak pergi jalan jalan." "Jalan jalan?" "Hmm. Pantai." "Baby.. mana ada pantai dekat sini?"

"Pergilah tempat yang ada pantai, cinta. Its our honeymoon week." "Not honeymoon week, it is our honeymoon year. Or maybe.. we'll just have honeymoon for the rest of our life?" "Hmm yes! I'm loving the idea. Tapi office tu?"

"Office? Hmm.. shall we stop working?" "Don't! You're the best engineer now. You've worked so hard to achieve this point." "And baby, awak tu bukan calang calang juga. You're the best event planner. I've seen your events. The best."

Matteo meletakkan Evelynn di dalam kereta. Ia terus masuk ke dalam kereta, lalu memandu ke sebuah cafe.

"Ice cream? Yeay!"

Laju sahaja Matteo menghalang Evelynn.

"You're not coming. I'll buy you some ice cream." "Why?" "I'm testing my knowledge about you." "I will give you gift if you're right." "Hmm okay. I'm going to do the best."
