The Spoiled Princess

Bab 10

Makanan semua dah terhidang. Edetia datang lewat sedikit. Mujur Elevia ada Han untuk menemani. Edetia datang bersama kekasihnya. Kekasih dia memakai hoodie. Dia tunduk badannya dihadapan mereka berdua buat diorang hairan.

"Kenapa tunduk?" Tanya Elevia hairan.

"Pengaruh anime." Balas Edetia lalu duduk disebelah kakaknya. Meja bulat. Elevia duduk sebelah Edetia dan Han manakala Han duduk sebelah Elevia dan kekasih adiknya. "Her name is Dane. Danneya Qaisara. She doesn't like her name so she changed it."

"Ouh. Muslim eh?" Tanya Elevia. Dane angguk kepala.

"Liberal." Balas Dane. Lihat pada tattoo ditangannya dah nampak dia memang liberal. "I just don't drink."

"I see. Smoke?"

"Nope."

"I yang smoke, i yang minum, I ada tattoo juga. I yang naughty. Dia innocent tau." Edetia senyum sinis. Dia mengusap peha Dane. Dane pakai loose jeans. Melihatkan hubungan mereka, nampak baik je. Asalkan hubungan mereka okey. "Just, Dane still believes in her religion and solat as usual. So we'll never get married. I don't mind. As long as she's here."

"You love your religion more than your girlfriend?" Tanya Han hairan. Dane diam. Dia berpaling kearah lain tidak mahu jawab. Soalan tu agak sensitif bagi dia. Elevia tepuk peha Han. Ditanya pula soalan begitu!

"We fought about this actually and agreed to understand each other. I mean, I ada religion. I'm christian, kakak christian and I don't care about you, Han. We follow what we believe in because we're raised to believe. So it's fine." Balas Edetia. Elevia hanya angguk faham.

"I rarely go to church." Balas Elevia.

"Me too."

"So kita sama je. Okay, off topic. Elia kata dia jumpa papa semalam and throw a whole meal on his face."

"Malas nak cerita perangai Elia. Tapi me and Dane ada borak semalam. I rasa kita patut ambil papa balik. How about it?"

"After what he did?"

"Ouh, come on. He's a kid now."

"Maybe you said that because you're the last he touched."

"Ouh, so you nak cakap I hodoh? He picked Elia because she's the prettiest right?"

"No, I never-"

"He's still our father. We have to take care of him. Yes, he did us like that but he's not anymore! Dia hilang ingatan! Duduk bawah jambatan makan nasi putih kosong je! Can't you see him? He's thin! Macam batang kayu!"

"PFFT!" Dane tutup mulut. Terlepas gelak pula bila Edetia kata batang kayu. Elevia berkerut dahi. Dia berpeluk tubuh.

"At least eat your food."

"Ya, ya." Edetia menggigit scone itu kedalam mulut. "...seriously. We need to take him back with us. Really. I'm being serious. Jaga dia macam anak, jangan jaga dia macam ayah. Look at him."

"...we should talk to Elia first."

"Tak payah. Dia memang takkan bagi punya. Silap-silap dia rogol bapak balik. No, tak payah."

"Akak."

"No! Boleh tak salah seorang daripada kamu berdua dengar cakap akak sekali je? Akak dah bagi korang bebas, live a life like you guys really wanted and support you guy by money and so on- apa lagi korang nak?" Marah Elevia. Suaranya buat semua orang pandang kearah dia termasuk barista. Mereka tak pernah nampak Elevia macamtu.

"Okey, fine! Whatever you wanna say! Beza 4 minit je pun!" Edetia berdiri. Dia tarik tangan Dane keluar dari kafe. Sempat dia ambil sekali air dan makanan dia. Mungkin tidak mahu membazir. Elevia berdiri, dia berlari kearah Edetia dan menarik Edetia keluar dari kafe.

"Are you seriously wanna take him with you?"

"Yes!"

"...if you need anything, come find me. Sorry, terlepas."

Edetia berkerut. Dia tarik Elevia kedalam peluk dan peluk tubuhnya erat. "...I love you."

"I love you too. Jaga ayah elok-elok. I'll help whatever I can do. He's our father."

"Okey."

***********
Elevia melihat kearah Edetia yang dengan baik hati bawa ayahnya masuk kedalam kereta. Wale siap tepuk tangan sebab teruja dilamar dengan rumah dan makanan. Dane nampak dingin tapi cara dia layan Wale nampak lembut juga.

Han meramas buah dada Elevia. Berkerut dahi Elevia memandang Han. "Hey!"

"I can't. Bosan sangat."

"I know. Sabar. I nak tengok dia escort papa."

Han mencebik. Dia lentokkan kepalanya pada stereng. Dia bosan menunggu sebab bukan ayahnya. Apabila Edetia dah berlalu, barulah Elevia fokus pada Han. "Okey. Jom balik. Rumah I ke rumah you?"

"Hotel jom."

Elevia ketap bibir. Dia berpeluk tubuh pandang Han atas bawah. Han siap pegang hujung lengan baju Elevia minta simpati. "please? I need it. We haven't done it yet."

"I kissed you."

"I know...but..."

"How about Genting? Elia is in there too."

"Baju?"

"Baliklah packing. Bawa benda penting dahlah."

"Okay. Genting~ genting~" Han teruskan pemanduannya. "Bawa backpacklah."

"Kenapa?"

"Because I'm gonna pick you up tonight with a bike."

"Aaaa..."
