Harris sprinted to Hannah's house when she called him screaming saying that she was terrified. Not knowing what makes her scared, but he just took his car key and drove through the night sky.
Hannah opened the door rushy, after he pressed the bell. Harris eyes bewildered, can't believe what his eyes just have seen. She's beautiful, so beautiful even in a mess. He knew he needed to say something since it's very unlikely her to be this open and neglected her duty as a muslimah but she looks so scared, so fragile.
Hannah instantly hid behind him.
Harris: Kenapa ni Hannah?
Hannah: Harriss! Tikus!!!
Harris chuckled.
Hannah: Ha... Dia gerak! Lalu situ!
Harris gulped, almost losing his breath when Hannah wrapped her arms around his waist from behind. He does not want to let her go. His naughty sides were trying to convince him to caress her hand and embrace her tighter.
But his iman, telling him that it is not right to treat and take advantage of his fiance'. He truly loves her, if he doesn't protect her now. How he gonna protect her as a wife in the future. Harris unlocked her grip and slowly put her hands away from his waist.
Harris: Ayang... haram..
Hannah was taken back. But it was impulsive. She's not in her right mind. In her mind, she just wanna get rid of the mouse.
Harris: Kejap cari perangkap.
Hannah held on to the end of his shirt, following him around the house.
Harris: Dah Hannah.. aku dah pasang perangkap.
Harris rest his body on the sofa. While Hannah's eyes are still cautiously lingering around. Searching if there is any sign of the mouse.
Hannah: Lama ke nak masuk?
Harris: Entah.. tunggu je la..
Hannah: Ala...
Harris: Emm Hannah.. Kau memang nak free hair je eh depan aku? Kita baru tunang tau belum kahwin.
Hannah: HA? EH YA ALLAH, ASTAGFIRULLAH LUPA PAKAI TUDUNG.
/Sarung tudung cepat/
Hannah: KENAPA TAK CAKAP DARI TADI?
Harris smiled guiltily.
Harris: Rezeki...
Hannah: Rezeki banyak cantik kau? Ambil kesempatan ada la!
Harris: Kalau aku nak ambil kesempatan dah lama aku peluk kau balik tak lepas2.
Hannah gulped.
Harris laughed at her reaction.
Hannah: Lama lagi ke?
Harris: Kan aku dah cakap tak tau. Tanya la tikus tu, nak masuk bila.
Tikus Oh Tikus, bila nak masuk rumah baru?
He teased her.
Hannah: Eeee main2 pula. Tak tenang la nak tidur macam ni. Kalau dia lalu bawah kaki aku time tidur macam mana?
Harris: HAHAHAHA Overthinking betul. Dah la jom tidur rumah aku.
Hannah: HA?
Harris: Kan ada Hasya...
Hannah: Oh haah.. ok la jap ambil baju.
******
Hannah kept on staring at the ceiling, trying to sleep. But her mind is constantly repeating the moment where she hugged him tightly. Not to add how he has seen her messy hair.
Hannah: Ya Allah! MALUNYA!!!
Peluk bantal kuat2, hentak kaki.
Suddenly, she heard a notification from her phone. A reminder of Harris's birthday tomorrow. She looked at the time. It's 11:55 pm, 5 more minutes till 12.
Hannah sarung tudung, looked at the mirror, making sure her pyjama covered her body well. She brought along a pillow, hugged it tight for her to squish, victim for her to vent her embarrassment. She tiptoed to his room.
She knocked on the door.
Harris: Come in!
Hannah opened the door, still standing at her spot without entering his room.
Harris showcased a huge smile at the sight of her.
Harris: kenapa ayang? Takkan nak tidur sini dengan aku kot...
He teased her again.
Hannah: Tak kuasa...
Harris: Mimpi tikus pula ke?
Hannah: Takla... Takdela sampai macam tu.
Harris: What is it ayang? I'm listening.
Hannah: Emm dah pukul 12 kan?
She looked at the clock on the wall.
Hannah: Happy Birthday Harris Sayang!
Hannah closed the door and ran to the house's guest room. She closed it and hid herself inside the duvet.
Hannah: Arghh apa masalah aku harini? Malunya!!!! Tapi... aku memang dah start sayang dia.
Meanwhile, Harris bergolek-golek atas katil. Senyum-senyum sendiri, pukul2 bantal.
Harris: Sayang? Harris sayang? Dia panggil aku sayang.... Hannah.. ayang kita panggil kita sayang... Hehehehehe
