CHAPTER 13 : REITH?

"You look so happy, Henry!." Sindir Eve Aurora semasa mereka berdua berjalan pulang ke hotel.

Henry Flynn ketawa.

"I think he's funny, Eve. But on the other hand, please be careful, Eve." Pesan Henry Flynn dengan berwajah serius.

"Do you mind repeating that, Henry?."

"Eve!." Henry Flynn cekak pinggang sambil memerhatikan wajah gadis yang sedang tersengih nakal itu.

"Eve Aurora." Panggil Henry Flynn dengan lembut. Gadis itu telah dianggap seperti adiknya sendiri. Itulah bos, sahabat dan teman bercerita. Berjauhan dengan gadis itu membuatkan hatinya diseryat dengan rasa risau akan keselamatan gadis itu, disamping kisah tragis yang telah menimpa keluarga Eve Aurora. Jika boleh, dia ingin bersama dengan gadis itu walau ke mana jua gadis itu pergi, namun dia juga mempunyai pekerjaan, begitu juga dengan gadis itu yang sedang menyamar sebagai Aurora Wyatt didalam misi membaikpulih hotel peninggalan mendiang ayahnya itu.

"Mmm.. Yes?."

"I'm going back to Rayne's Mansion tomorrow morning. Untuk persiapkan uniform hotel ini. Dan aku akan kembali lagi ke sini setelah semua uniform ini siap." Beritahu Henry Flynn sambil mengelus-elus lembut rambut gadis itu.

"So soon?."

"... Can't you stay for a little bit longer, Henry??."

"I can't, Eve. I need to settle about the uniform. And I promise to return and stay for a little bit longer."

"Really?! Promise?."

"Yes!."

"Cool! I hope everything is fine. And all of these will be done earlier than I expected. I can't bear to stay away from my home. And I don't need to pretend as Aurora Wyatt anymore." Eve Aurora memeluk lengan lelaki itu dengan erat. Esok mereka berdua bakal berpisah lagi.

Henry Flynn ketawa.

"It's your choice, Eve. Hey, do you still remember your mom's story? About how she managed to still live in Amsterdam without her family?."

"Of course I remembered."

"Then? You got your mom's genetic, Eve. You should be proud of it."

"Alright, Henry. I'll remember your words." Itulah peranan lelaki itu didalam kehidupannya, sentiasa menenangkan fikirannya. Dan dia tidak dapat membayangkan jika lelaki itu berkahwin kelak. Haruskah dia berebut perhatian dengan isteri kepada lelaki tersebut?

Dia tertawa.

"Why?." Soal Henry Flynn dengan riak wajah yang pelik.

"It's nothing. I just imagine what if you were married one day? Should I fight with your wife just to get your attention?."

Chuckles.

"Then, my life would become nightmares and disaster, Eve! Confirm! 2 womens fighting just to get my attention?! Damn! I can't imagine it, Eve!." Lelaki itu ketawa.

"You're so lucky, Henry!."

"No way! I shouldn't get married until you get married first. If not, you'll get jealous of me and my wife. Didn't you?." Eve Aurora ketawa mendengarkan kata-kata lelaki itu yang boleh dikatakan tersangatlah betul.

"10 points to Henry Flynn! Brilliant!." Mereka berdua ketawa dengan gembiranya.
