"We'll go to work together, from today. Okay? I'll never let you ride this again. It's too dangerous. I will buy you a car too."

"Love.. you don't have to do that." "Why not? I'll buy the world if I could. It's just a car. Nanti kita pergi survey kereta yang awak suka."

Evelynn menggeleng.

"Why?" "Kalau saya ada kereta, you'll never send me to work anymore." "Baby.. we're working in a same office. Mestilah saya hantar selalu. You are my baby. I can't let you go alone."

"Ye ke? Even after our kids go to school? You will still go with me?"

Matteo menghentikan kereta di lampu isyarat. Ia menoleh lalu memandang Evelynn.

"There's no doubt in that baby. I'll always go with you. That's it."

Evelynn tersenyum sebelum melihat ke jendela. Dia melihat pasangan suami isteri yang sedang bergelak ketawa bersama. Pasangan yang sudah tua, sedang bergembira dengan masa yang ada.

"We'll grow old together like them. Smile, laugh happily like them. Do everything we want to do. We'll travel, we'll see our kids grow, we'll love. I want to love you more and more every day."

Matteo tersenyum.

"So.. bila nak pergi honeymoon? Baru tiga hari kahwin, awak nak masuk office. When can I go for a honeymoon with my wife?"

"Hmm.. maybe next week? Lepas habis event ni. Okay?" "Anything for you, baby."

Evelynn ingin keluar dari kereta namun dia lupa! Dia seorang isteri! Dia menoleh lalu tersengih.

"Husband.. I forgot. I'm sorry."

Evelynn mencapai tangan Matteo lalu terus dia mencium tangan suaminya.

"I love you, cinta. Jumpa nanti." "Wait. I want a kiss every day before you go." "Anything for you my love."

Evelynn mencium pipi Matteo sebelum berlalu pergi. Dia tersenyum lebar apabila sahabatnya melihatnya.

"Wahh pengantin baru dah masuk office? Why soo early?" "Ada event kan petang esok? I need to.. prepare for it." "Yaaa! I lupa."

"Evelynn."

Evelynn menoleh lalu melihat Faris.

"Happy married life, Evelynn. I wish you a happy life ahead." "Thank you, encik.. Saya doakan juga untuk encik, semoga encik jumpa jodoh terbaik." "Amiin. Thank you."

Lelaki itu berlalu pergi. Evelynn mula sediakan segala persiapan untuk majlis pada esok hari.

Dia terlupa makan dan terlupa melihat telefon apabila terlalu sibuk dengan kerjanya. Evelynn memegang perutnya. Entah kenapa terasa agak sakit. Dia melihat jam di tangannya. Dah pukul empat petang!? Dan dia tak makan lagi!

Cinta ❤️: Baby, did you eat?
Cinta ❤️: Baby, are you okay? Baby I'm going to see you.
Cinta ❤️: Ibu cakap you can't skip your meals right? Breakfast!
Cinta ❤️: It's been an hour, baby. Are you even okay? Are you there? Hey.
Cinta ❤️: If you see this, message me! Pleasee!
Cinta ❤️: Hey baby! I'm going now after two hours of waiting you!

Evelynn terkelu. Alamak! Matteo berjalan terus ke arah Evelynn.

"Why didn't you answer?"

Evelynn ingin berdiri namun perutnya sakit. Ia memegang tangan Matteo.

"I'm sorry. I.."

Evelynn memegang perutnya.

"Baby? Hey baby.. are you okay? Hey baby. Look at me." "Sakit.." "Sakit perut ke? Are you okay? I will take you with me. Come."

Matteo menarik Evelynn perlahan agar dia boleh berdiri namun Evelynn menggeleng. Dia sakit. Ia memegang tangan Matteo erat.

Matteo terus mengendong Evelynn.

"Kita pergi hospital, okay?"

Evelynn mengangguk lalu memejamkan mata ia. Dia menahan sakitnya.

Matteo menahan amarahnya apabila doktor yang merawat Evelynn memberitahunya bahawa isteri dia tidak makan apa apa lalu dia mengalami sakit perut kerana gastrik.

Matteo berjalan masuk ke dalam wad tersebut. Ia memandang Evelynn yang kelihatan sangat pucat dan tidak bermaya.

Dia menarik nafas panjang. Dia tidak nak marah Evelynn namun dia benar benar marah.

Evelynn mencelikkan matanya perlahan. Terus ia memegang tangan Matteo.

"I'm sorry. Maafkan saya ek? Pleasee."

Matteo menjauhkan dirinya dari Evelynn.

"Do you know how scared I was? Why do you do this to me?"

Evelynn terkelu. Dia melihat wajah Matteo yang kelihatan seperti sedang menahan amarahnya.

"I'm sorry. I swear I didn't mean to hurt you or make you worry about me. I'm sorry. Pleaseee."

Evelynn menghulurkan tangannya. Matteo tidak mampu mengawal dirinya apabila melihat isteri dia yang sedang menghulurkan tangan ke arah ia lalu dia mendekati Evelynn.

"Don't you dare to repeat this. Understand?" "I'll never repeat. I promise."

Matteo mencium dahi isterinya. Laju sahaja dia tersenyum.

"I love you, cinta. Saya tahu awak takkan marah saya lama lama." "Because I cant do that. Youre my one and only weakness. And you are also my strenght. I'll fighting everything to protect you."
