"Saya mula belajar di Universiti, saya jadi CEO pada masa yang sama sebab saya tak nak ingat pada luka yang sangat dalam. I lost my mother ans I lost you."

Matteo melihat ke dalam anak mata Evelynn. Entah kenapa hatinya terluka ketika teringat pada hari hari gelap dalam hidupnya.

"I'm sorry.."

Evelynn berkata sambil air matanya mengalir. Matteo menggeleng.

"Awak tak salah pun. I was wrong. I didn't tell you that, I was soo into you. I should never let you.. go."

Evelynn merangkul leher Matteo. Dia melihat wajah suaminya.

"When did you see me again?"

Matteo tersenyum sebelum mencium dahinya.

Dia mengendong isterinya lalu dibawa terus ke balkoni bilik mereka. Mereka melihat bulan di langit bersama sama.

"This is how I met you." "Hmm?"

Evelynn mengerutkan keningnya. Dia keliru. Ia melihat ke arah bulan bersama Matteo?

"When you were in.. London."

Evelynn terkelu. Dia membuntangkan matanya sebelum memandang Matteo.

"Awak pergi London sebab nak jumpa saya!? I can't be more shocked than this in life. Whyy!? Why didn't you tell me!?"

Matteo tersenyum.

"When I was working in my company, I heard that you were in London for your studies. I'm happier than ever when I heard that. I rushed to... London."

"I shifted my business to London and took over my company. Saya cari awak selama hampir 10 hari. Wait 1 bulan 10 hari sebelum jumpa awak dengan cara paling.. unbelievable."

Evelynn menunggu dengan sabar. Entah kenapa dia terasa seperti menonton filem.

"You were in your apartment looking up at the moon while smiling. And I looked at you while smiling because.. I found you. Finally.. I found you."

Evelynn terkelu.

"Kenapa awak cintakan saya sampai macam tu? Saya.. I'm not worth that love. Im not gorgeous, I'm not rich, I'm not elegant. Why me?"

Matteo tersenyum.

"Because you're perfect in my eyes. Sebab awak bawa saya keluar dari kegelapan, kesakitan and until now, I'm smiling because of you."

"You're my angel, remember?"

Evelynn tersenyum sebelum hatinya terasa amat sebak. Dia mengangguk.

"And you're my Haq. The cutest boy I've ever met and I can't forget that face. I want to have a baby girl like you and a baby boy like me." "Hm? Baby boy and baby girl? Two?" "Maybe more?"

Matteo tersenyum.

"Awak tak nak kembali ke syarikat tu?" "When I saw you again, I thought I'll never lose you but I failed again. I lost you again."

Evelynn terkelu.

"Yeah.. saya pergi ke Amsterdam untuk shooting and event planning di sana for a year."

"Saya cari awak lagi. Tapi.. tak ada siapa tahu. I told everyone in University that I was engaged. Saya tak nak sesiapa pun ganggu saya. And I'm happy when I say that I was engaged to you. My friends used to ask me who you are."

"Saya akan sebut nama awak berkali kali hingga mereka ingat sampai sekarang. Evelynn Sierra."

Evelynn tesenyum. Betapa peritnya kisah cinta Matteo padanya.

"Awak tak marah sedikit pun pada saya? Kenapa awak tak marah? I mean.. I was never there. I'm such a bad character in your story."

"Because you're the best thing happened in life."

Matteo meletakkan Evelynn di atas kerusi lalu dia melutut di hadapan Evelynn.

"Awaklah perkara terindah yang berlaku dalam hidup saya selepas mama."

Evelynn tersenyum.

"But I went crazy when I think about you. Saya tak mampu berhenti fikir tentang awak. Then I was forced to marry someone. Ayah saya paksa saya kahwin dengan anak sahabat dia."

"Dia cakap, saya tak pernah buat apa apa untuk dia jadi saya perlu setuju untuk kahwin. I didnt say anything. I just left. People called me crazy. People called me all the bad words, sebab ingat saya dah gila.

"Even kawan kawan saya langsung tak percaya bahawa awak wujud. My Evelynn Sierra."

"Dua tahun lepas saya jumpa awak di London, I saw you in Malaysia. In our company. I started working there after leaving my dad's company. Mungkin takdir.. kita bertemu di sana. Syarikat yang asing bagi saya tapi sekarang, it's like my home."
