25 | Matteo

Evelynn melihat Matteo yang sangat sibuk. Dia sedang membangunkan syarikatnya kembali.

Evelynn menghampiri Matteo. Dia tersenyum. Lelaki itu kelihatan sangat indah ketika dilihat dari belakang. Aduh!

"Do I look really hot from behind? You've been standing there for 10 minutes now."

Evelynn menyembunyikan senyumannya tetapi dia tergelak. Dia mengangguk laju.

"You look reaalllyyy hot, love. I'm jealous of the door now." "Jealous of the door? Why?" "Sebab pintu ni menghadap awak lebih lama dari saya."

Matteo tersenyum.

"I'm sorry, baby. I've been too busy on my first day because I can't see all this like this. It's not what I used to plan."

Evelynn mengangguk lalu tersenyum.

"You look hot when you're working. So don't let anyone in when you're working. Understand? I won't tolerate with them. You're strictly mine. I mean it."

Matteo tersenyum sebelum merangkul pinggang Evelynn.

"And you're hot when you're jealous, baby. You look like you'll eat them alive."

Evelynn tergelak lalu menggeleng.

"Maybe I'll do it." "Baby.." "What?" "I'm busy. Ill be late. Do you want to stay here with me?" "Hm I'll consider that." "Baby.." "Fine. I'm staying. Ill sit here."

Evelynn mengambil tempatnya di belakang sang suami. Matteo tersenyum.

"Do I really look hot from behind?" "Hmm. Keep working. I'll see you."

Matteo menggeleng sambil tersenyum sebelum ia sambung bekerja.

Hatinya terlalu bahagia. Evelynn ada bersama dia dan syarikatnya akan dibangun kan semula. Apa sahaja yang dia tiada dalam hidupnya? Dia ada semuanya termasuk kebahagiaan.

Matteo menyiapkan kerjanya lalu menoleh. Dia tersenyum. Indahnya ciptaan Allah yang sudah terlena dalam biliknya ini. Dia mendekati isteri tercinta.

"I thought you're looking at me all the while but you're asleep? You're tired, baby. I'm sorry. I'm trying to make a better life for us. I promise, I'll make you happy. I'll make you smile a lot. Your lips won't stop smiling."

Matteo mengendong Evelynn perlahan. Evelynn masih belum terjaga dari tidurnya.

Mereka tiba di rumah. Matteo tersenyum apabila melihat Evelynn yang memeluk lengannya ketika dia terlena.

Matteo mengendong Evelynn ke dalam bilik lalu memandang wajah wanita itu lama. Betapa cinta dia pada isterinya takkan pernah berkurang. Dia terlalu cintakan Evelynn. Kerana Allah.

Matteo meletakkan Evelynn di atas katil lalu dia ingin pergi ke bilik air namun Evelynn menarik tangannya.

"Don't leave me."

Air mata Evelynn mengalir perlahan. Matteo tak sangka bahawa Evelynn akan menangis.

"Baby? Are you okay? Baby.."

Evelynn mencelikkan matanya. Dia bermimpi!? Allahu. Mimpi itu terasa seperti realiti. Matteo memeluk Evelynn erat.

"Baby.. it's okay. It was just a nightmare." "It's real. It feels so real."

Evelynn meleraikan pelukan lalu berjalan terus ke balkoni bilik tersebut.

"Can someone enter from here?" "No, baby. No one can enter from our balcony. There's guards everywhere around this house. Relax, baby. Im here."

Matteo memeluk Evelynn. Dia mengusap rambut Evelynn yang baru ditanggalkan tudungnya.

"I'm here with you. I'll protect you, baby. Jangan risau, okay? This place is safe for us."

"I know that you'll protect me. You'll do anything to keep me safe. But will you be safe for me? Will you.. stay safe? For me. Pleaseee promise me. I'll do anything to keep you safe too. Saya akan pasti terluka kalau awak terluka."

Matteo menggeleng.

"Saya takkan terluka. Okay?" "Promise me first." "I promise, baby. Wait.. are you pregnant? You are being different." "Love! We just got married okay?" "Why not? Mana tahu, bunting pelamin. Pernah dengar tak?"

Evelynn menggeleng.

"Ada ada je awak ni kan? Mestilah saya pernah dengar. Tapi.. I'm not pregnant." "How do you know that? Did you check? Don't check without me." "Loveee. I'm hungry." "Haa tengok. That's one of the sign juga."

"Saya tak makan sejak lunch tadi, love. Are you kidding me?"

Matteo tergelak sebelum menggeleng.

"Saya main main je. Kata kata tu doa tahu tak? Manalah tahu, doa saya menjadi kenyataan. I want to be a dad as soon as possible because I want a baby."

Evelynn tersenyum.

"Hmm? Nak baby? How about this baby?" "Im going to give you allll of my love then. My baby girl."

Evelynn cair. Dia menggeleng.

"Senang je awak cairkan saya kan? I'm hungry. Can we eat?" "Nope. Shower first. Jom?" "Jom ke.. mana?" "Toilet. Jom."
