"So.. you're basically telling us that you're going to commit 100 percent on this project and make it happen to merge it?" "Yup. Thatsmy answer. I am sure I can do it with the help of my.."

Matteo menoleh lalu melihat isterinya. Comel je isterinya yang duduk di sisinya. Bilik mesyuarat itu menjadi saksi, mereka menandatangani satu projek yang sangat besar pada hari ini.

"My wife."

Evelynn tersenyum manis. Dia memandang cinta hatinya. Lelaki itu mempercayakan dia maka dia akan buat apa sahaja demi Matteo.

Matteo tersenyum apabila memandang Evelynn.

Semua wakil dari ENG Holdings bertolak pulang lalu Matteo mendekati Evelynn.

"Can you have lunch with your boss today? Hmm I've been thinking about your progress lately. I'm kinda impressed so.. a lunch?"

Evelynn tergelak kecil sebelum mengangguk. Dia mengusap perutnya yang sudah besar. 6 bulan ia menunggu untuk melihat perutnya membesar. Ia sangat menghargai setiap saat dia sebagai ibu.

"Esok, kita balik rumah ibu. Ibu call saya malam semalam. And I told her that I'll bring her angel home."

Evelynn tersenyum lalu mengangguk.

"Cinta.." "Hmm?" "Semalam, papa bagitahu saya yang papa hanya nak lihat anak kita sebelum dia pergi. And I'm scared after listening to him."

"Papa cuma nak bagitahu awak yang anak kita ni penting untuk papa. Waris dia. Cucu dia. He'll be okay, baby. Don't worry."

Evelynn menarik nafas panjang. Dia memandang Matteo.

"Cinta kenapa awak pilih saya? Actually I wanted to leave this company when the times comes. But today you chose me out of all the staff. Saya betul betul tak nak orang salah faham."

"They'll think that I'm using you." "You're using me? Seriously, baby? Look at you. You're having our baby. Baby.. you love me. That's the prove. I can't.. I can't let them judge you. I'll tell them."

"Tell them what?" "Tell them that I love you and you love me. You're not using me. You're not! Ill tell everyone that you brought me here because I am myself here."

Evelynn memeluk Matteo erat.

"Cinta.. it's just me overthinking everything. I'm not talking about any facts. Okay? I'm pregnant. I'm overthinking everything because of unstable hormones and so on. Leave it to me, okay? I am happy. I'm alright."

"I'm always worried about you, baby. I'm scared to leave you alone."

Setelah insiden itu berlaku dulu, Matteo mencari pelaku itu hingga ke hari ini. Namun dia gagal.

"Baby.. when you start maternity leave, I'll also be taking leave with you. I want to stay by your side, okay? Bila bila masa baby perlukan saya I will be there. I promise."

"Aww that's the sweetest thing I've ever heard. I don't want you to leave the company for so long and.. they need you. Dah dekat dengan Due, Im going to stay with ibu." "But.. you'll leave me? I want to be with you. Always. By your side."

"Love, you're always by my side. Now, you are giving me a small version of you."

Evelynn mengusap perutnya perlahan. Dia terus memandang Matteo. Dia menyembunyikan satu perkara besar dari suaminya.

Satu perkara yang mampu membuatkan suami ia sangat marah. Kenapa? Kerana dia sembunyikan identiti lelaki yang menyakitkannya.

Kenapa dia sembunyikan? Satu sahaja sebabnya. Dia tidak mahu Matteo menggila apabila ketahui siapa yang melukakan Evelynn dulu.

"Good morning, madam Lynn. Ni bunga untuk madam for this morning. And ada pesanan. I'll tell you the message first. Kata pemberi, jangan balik seorang diri sebab saya akan bawa awak pulang. Bukan saya, madam. Tapi Tuan Haq. I will take a leave, madam." "Thank you, Malisa. Have a good day." "You too, madam."

Evelynn tersenyum. Setiap pagi Matteo memberi dia bunga dengan pesanan berlainan.

Harini pesanan dia ringkas dan comel. Dia tahu, lelaki itu sangat risaukan keadaan dia sejak hari dia mula mengalami 'morning sickness' dan dia mula menjadi letih dan lesu.
