CHAPTER 15

JEREMIAH'S P.O.V

When dad said he wanted me to go to KL for the Investors' Conference, I thought I could escape it.

Saya masih mau mencari keberadaan si pretty little pemabuk bah.

Kenapa bah saya tidak boleh maafkan dan melupakan kesalahan dia melanggar kereta saya?

Saya teringat kata-kata Joe.
"Nopes, I don't believe it's about your car."

Really?

No, saya meyakinkan diri saya it is about my car.

IT IS. IT IS. IT IS.

Is it?

"Kenapa juga kau balik-balik melamun saja?" Jeremy tegur saya.

We're cooling off in the pool. It's such a hot day in Sydney.

Satu tegukan beer dan saya mendongak menatap langit yang biru.
"I'm thinking about your costs."

Cis! Hahahaha.

"Penipu." Jeremy mencibir.

Saya terkekeh geli.
"Siapa suruh penyibuk."

"Penjawab betul." Jeremy membalas.
"Pembaris." Saya balas balik.

Jeremy terketawa.
"Pembaris? Tiada benda lain kah?"

Hahahaha, saya tidak tau. Saya tidak dapat berfikir, so I just say what came up in my head.

"Pemadam." Saya jawab soalan Jeremy.
"Penyapu." Jeremy balas saya.

Buduh oh kami dua orang ni. Yang tiada-tiada bah sampai kami ketawa terbahak-bahak atas kebodohan kami.

Saya menyelam ke dasar kolam, stayed there for a minute then swam up.

Terkejutnya saya nampak dad pun dalam pool, chilling with a can of beer.

"What?" Dad jeling saya. "It's my pool."

Yalah tu, orang terkejut nampak dia pun salah.

Dad put down his beer on the poolside.
"Race me."

Bawa berlumba. Wow, boleh tahan this old man. Hahahaha.

Mana sudah si Jeremy? Boleh-boleh dia menghilang?

I raced dad to the end of the pool and back.

"Kau kalah, Rem? Hahahaha! Dad's older but faster." Jeremy tiba-tiba muncul.

Tsk.

I had to let dad win bah. So I can get what I want.

"Dad, about the Investors Conference I-" Belum saya habis cakap.

"I've booked the flight tickets." Dad bilang.

Oh, tickets? Dad's coming with me?

Then dad sambung.
"For the both of you."

Phuuush.
"Uhuuuk! Uhuuuk! Uhuuuk!" Jeremy tersedak on his beer.

Terkejut saya sama dad bila Jeremy tersedak dan batuk-batuk.

"Don't tell me you're gonna choke on a beer, Jeremy?" Dad mengerutkan dahi.

I rolled my eyes at Jeremy.
"At least if you're gonna choke to death, make sure it's wine. Jesus was a hap-"

"Hush!" Dad stopped me. "Kalau mamak kau dengar, kena vacuum tu mulut kau, Jeremiah."

"HAHAHAHAHA!" Jeremy kasi ketawa saya. Memanglah bah otak dia tu tengah imagine mulut saya kena vacuum. Kitai betul punya Jeremy.
