CIVIL LOVE

CHAPTER 7

SAM & ERICA

"Who told you to meet Libi?"

"Me. Myself." Erica jawab sambil dia kasih bersih2 kuku.

"Why you act so stupid ah?" Jawab Sam.

"Stupid ko cakap. She deserves to know about us. Sampai bila ko mau kasih main dia haaa!! I just tell her to leave you. Belum lagi saya tell her how many times already you slept with me."

Sam tarik Erica. Dia bawa pi dinding.

"If you dare to open a single thing about it. I'll make sure you regret it the rest of your life."

Ketawa Erica.

"Sam, i know you lama sudah la. Do you think saya takut sama you? Haaaa please!"

"We will see Er. Ko cabar saya. Sy mau tgk. I love her okay. And you, will never be!" Tambah Erica ketawa.

"Hahahaha!! If you love her, you would never fuck me Sam. What kind of love is that?" Erica tolak Sam. Sam left the room leaving Erica alone. Maki hamun si Erica. Dia nekad yang dia akan hancurkan hubungan Sam & Libi.

JARED, BEL & ANN

"Bel." Panggil Jared.

"Ya." Jawab Bel.

"Sy mau bgtau tau ko something. But you just relax ok." Bel kerut dahi. Time ni dorg duduk dimeja makan.

"Masa party tu, i saw Sam with another girl." Bel stop kaut nasi.

"Macam rapat betul tu dorg sy tgk. Siap bkiss, bpeluk. That's why sy balik awal malam tu." Bel ampas tu piring dimeja.

"I knew it J. Thats why mlm tu sy nampak mata Libi bengkak. Tp sy nda tau pasal apa. Maybe dia gaduh sama Sam.  I knew it. Sam tu nda buli pakai."

"But pls jgn dulu bgtau Libi la. Takut nanti kita slh infromasi."

"Slh informasi apa. Sy sndri pernah nampak tu prmpuan sama Sam dalam kereta masa di jln raya. Rambut dia pnjang hitam?"

"Ya. I heard tu childhood friend dia."

"Shit punya lelaki. I don't know where Libi now oh J. Kmrin dia text saya dia nda balik. Saya takut kalau dorg bgaduh then dia bawa diri ka."

"Cuba whatsapp Ann." Suggest Jared

"Ehh kenapa tiba2. Dia pigi mana juga?"

"Nda tau oh. Tiada dia inform."

📱 : Where are you? Please reply me as soonest. (Bel)

Send to Livonnea. Hopefully she reads. 😔

Pelan2 saya buka tu pintu bilik. Cari mana tu lelaki.

"Hi." Tiba2 saya ditegur dr belakang. Fuhh urut dada sekejap.

"Hi." Malu2 ni saya.

"You feeling good already? Lapar?"

Sy senyum. Ya saya lapar. Krohhh krohhh ni perut.

"Come sit. Ada maid saya masak." Dia tarik tu kerusi. Sy duduk.

"Thank you." Sy tingu ja dia buka2 tu tupperware.

"I feel..."

"Feel what? Just be relax la." Cepat2 dia cut saya. Saya suap tu nasi pelan2. Dia serve sy nasi putih with chicken mushroom soup.

"You good?" Ehemm ya. Saya angguk. Dia tingu ja sy makan. Nda sy berapa peduli. Kelaparan tiada makan.

"Thanks for helping me." Slurpppppp!!!! Sy hirup tu sup ayam.

"Sedap?" Dia tgk sy makan.

"Boleh tahan." Sy makan lagi.

"Then finish it." Jawab Aaron.

"I don't think i can." Balas me.

"Then you cannot back home if you didn't finish it." Trstop sy makan. Sya tingu muka dia.

"Kidding!" Dia bilang. Deiii. Masing2 senyap.

"Boleh sy tau your name?" Dia main2 hp. Ishhh dia tidak dengar ni saya tanya. Kuyak o. Continue makan.

"Aaron." Dia jawab. Masih lgi dia main2 tu hp. Ohh.

"You tidak makan?" Dia geleng kepala.

"See you eating makes me full instantly."

"Okay." Siap sudah sy makan. Sy angkat tu plate bawa pi singki. Aaron sudah bangun dr meja makan suddenly phone dia ringing. Sy tingu jam. Almost 11pm. Satu malam sudah saya stay sini.

"Libi." Aaron panggil saya. Saya toleh.

"Ya?"

"U feel okay here?" Ahha ya saya angguk.

"I can leave now if you want." Sy jawab.

No i don't want dalam hati Aaron. "No noo. Sy takut u kurang selesa if i'm here. So i think i should leave now." Alamak. Ni rumah dia, dia pula mau blah. Macam sy yang tuan rumah ni.

"Ohh no that's not right. Sy yang sepatutnya keluar."

"Nope. U are my guest. Your coziness is my priority. Like i said, take your time. Sy jumpa ko tomorrow morning okay. This is my card. Contact me if there is anything."

Aaron hulur business card dia. Saya ambil.

"Tempat ni selamat. So don't worry too much ya. Sleep early. Make yourself at home. Goodnight." Aaron give me spare keys. Then dia keluar dari rumah.

Make myself at home dalam hati saya. Saya tinjau2 living room dia. Boleh tahan elegant but simple. All white decor. Mesti Aaron ni orang senang. Saya buang diri saya di couch. Ahh punya empuk!

Siapa Aaron sebenarnya ni. Is he a husband, a father or someone's boyfriend? Saya lirik balik tu living room dia. Tiada satu gambar perempuan pun bgantung atau frame. Mungkin juga dia single. Saya tingu tu biz card dia. Aaron Lee and his contact number ja tertera. Tiada job title or company name. Patutka saya SMS tanya dia dimana? Takut menggangu pula.

Saya tutup mata. Saya mau tidur lagi. Dan saya tertidur.

Meanwhile in my dream........

POM2 GIRL : Hi cewek. Apa ko rasa sekarang?

LIBI : Saya rasa okay pom2 girl.

POM2 GIRL : Baik kan si Aaron ni? Dia jaga betul ko walaupun tidak kenal.

LIBI : Ya saya rasa lain juga. First time saya tinggal dirumah orang asing. Lelaki lagi tu. Apa ko rasa pom2 girl?

POM2 GIRL : Niat dia memang baik. The way he treat you is so sincere. Masa ko tidak bangun2 dia cemas sudah. Dia suru maid dia usap2 dahi ko supaya ko bangun.

LIBI : Oh yaka? Emmmmm....

POM2 GIRL : Libi, he is such a nice guy. Jauh beza dr Sam. Ahhh si buduh tu.

LIBI : Saya tiada apa2 sudah sama Sam! Muktamad!

POM2 GIRL : Bagus la tu. Lelaki begitu dayus!

LIBI : Pom2, saya rasa saya mau stay lagi sini utk 2 3hari. What do you think? Aaron mau ka tu? Saya mau tenangkan fikiran. Away from Sam.

POM2 GIRL : Of course he want. Libi, first time ko tolong dia dihotel i knew it. Something will happen next. Something beautiful. Saya jamin he is a perfect guy.

LIBI : What you mean pom2? Ko jangan kasih kusut fikiran saya.

POM2 GIRL : Just wait. Follow the flows ya. Don't be too strict with yourself. Trust me and trust Aaron. I gotta go my dear Libi.Goodnight.
Don't let the frost bite, bite.

LIBI : Yala... Goodnight pom2!
