Kudrat, morning
I GOT OFF MY BIKE only to meet Mama raising her voice at Papa. I turned to Naim and raised my brow, as if asking him what was happening. Fakhri, on the other hand, was sending a glare towards Naim which wasn't uncommon, but there must be something up.
"Sampai lima orang pula tu! Kalau dia mati macam mana? Bukan sekali tu je kan? Kan?!" Instantly I knew what she was referring to, the fighting clip. But how did she find out?
Naim.
He was the only one who could have told her. Surely it wasn't me or Fakhri.
Hearing the woman's shouts, my heartbeat increased. I closed my eyes for a few seconds to gather myself before coming back to reality.
"Saya nak tuntut balik hak penjagaan Fakhri! Hak makhamah saya! Awak tunggu surat lawyer saya. Awak tunggu." She threatened.
I stood there frozen as I watched Mama getting in the car, driving away. "Papa–"
"Adik, masuk." He ignored and cut me mid-sentence. "Masuk cepat, dik!"
"Papa, sudahlah. Kita asyik lari je. Ada je masalah, kita lari." I interrupted.
"Adik dah penat lari, pa. Kali ni, kita lawan." Fakhri continued. I turned to him and gave him a slight nod, I couldn't help but agree.
I kept running my whole life. Look where I am right now.I could be homeless in a snap of a finger, workless too. All of these would never happen if only I didn't run.
The slamming of the car door was what got my attention. "Woi! Ni semua kerja kau kan? Kau yang jibam kat mak kau kan? Puas hati kau?"
Naim turned around, giving him an unamused look, giving no fucks about Fakhri's words. At the same moment, I was standing next to Papa in the middle of all this, clueless on what to do.
"Kau tunggu, Naim! Kau tunggu!" He threatened. "Kau tengok apa yang aku akan buat kat kau, sial!"
I placed a hand on Fakhri's shoulder, signalling him to calm down. He clenched his jaw and pushed my hand away. "Kau tengok apa adik kesayangan kau dah buat." He muttered before walking towards the school.
"Papa jaga diri ye kat rumah tu, hujung minggu ni kakak datang. Jangan buat perkara yang tak patut tau." I advised as I watched Papa drive away.
