Destiny

Sweet & Sour of Argument

Tepat jam 5.00 sya nmpk Lonad berkemas2 sdh. Times up! Time to go home..tp sya xsmgt mo pulang. Physically and mentally, lemas betul sya rasa. Mcm mau x ja ikut Mr Liam, tp sdh dia warning awal2 td..

Arrrgghhhh! sya tingu atas smbl raup muka sya.

‘Good luck Bell. I go first..’ Lonad sempat kasi smgt sya. Dia bagi sya thumbs up.
‘Thanks Lonad..see u..’ sya bilang begitu ja. Ya, Bell don’t give up! Belum berperang mengalah sudah..thats really not suit Issabella well. Ingat  Mulan! Bukan Mulan Jameela tp puteri pasangan China yg menyamar menjadi lelaki sebab xmau bapa dia pg berperang, correct me if I am wrong..ingat2 lupa sdh gia ni sorita hihihi

‘Bell..kau bulum pulang lg ka?’ Sya dengar sdh ‘Verfied’ bunyi tu fingertec untuk check out..
‘Mana boss?’ sya xjwb tp tnya Nani pla soalan.
‘Sana masi d luar tu..bah sya duluan ah.’ bilang Nani, dia lambai2 sya.
‘Bah..’ sya bilang. Sya duduk balik d tmpt sya. I wanna go home. Sya risau c Loca sama Lola sdh. Habis sdh kali makanan dorang tu..
‘You not going back?’ Mr Liam stop dpn mija sya. Aikk sya tunggu dia pla ni. kurang asam! Bilang td tunggu dia, skg mcm menghalau sya pula..
‘Oh..i am going now.’ Geram sya. sya berdiri sya susun2 file terus sya sambar beg sya.
‘I am just kidding Bella. Why so serious...’ Dia tangkap tgn sya masa sya limpas dia. Sya xpusing tingu dia. Kenapa dia ni suka btl mendera perasaan sya? atau syakah yang terlalu sensitive? I don’t know…
‘U tnya sya td kan..mau pulang laini. Let go of my hand..’ Mcm sya mau marah betul. Sya nmpk muka Emily senyum sinis d fikiran sya. Damn!
‘Wait me in the car..’ Mr Liam kasi unclocked tu kereta.
‘Come on Bella..why u so serious. Smile please..’ Dia gusuk2 kepala sya. surugau sdh rmbt dpn sya. Instead of smile I give him a grin face..mcm tu ikan jaws!
‘That’s scary..’ Terus dia kasi lepas tgn sya. Sya tahan ketawa ja dlm hti. Tercuit pla hati sya tingu reaksi muka Mr Liam..ugly Issabella!

Sya p buka pintu kereta. Sya duduk terus sya tingu2 kereta Mr Liam. Bersih dan wangi. He take k good of his belongings so well. He also a family man I guess! Yala, now he is a mother and a father to Owen since a years ago. Emily! The trouble maker I guess! Sakit hati sya pla bila teringat Owen. Dia yg paling kasian..Sya ambil hp, sya tingu2 selfie2 sya sma Owen. He is a cute boy. Ada lg gmbr2 kmi yg Mr Liam interframe sana belakang. So funny! Kena paksa tingu camera..

‘U have me Owen..mama loves u..’ Sya kiss tu gmbr Owen. Betul2 sya jatuh syg sdh sama Owen. But only if I am allowed to keep on be his mum! Sya xkisah mama pinjam pun pinjamlah..
Lama juga Mr Liam ni.

Sya mengantuk sdh menunggu dlm kereta. Sya ni jenis yg naik kereta ja mengantuk hahaha nasib sya naik bus belum pernah limpas lg tu rumah sya. I feel sleepy, sya tutup2 mulut sdh balik2 sya menguap..

Lama2 sya xtahan sdh. Berat btl mata sya. Owen senyum2 cute d kpla pn sya xpeduli sdh. That’s how I end up if I am too sleepy. Sya lupa yg Mr Liam is not in the car yet..

Palan2 sya buka mata. Sya rasa kepala sya mcm terlentok. Sya tertidur pula. Goshh! Patutlah sya tidur lena btl, bahu Mr Liam pula yg sya pinjam. Palan2 sya kasi alih kepla sya. sya pejam mata smbl kasi kerut tu muka sya. silaka3! Bilang hati sya.

‘Bah lap dlu air liur basi kau tu..tidur pn xingt org sdh.’ Sya pkr dia tdr. Punya sya malu!! Capat2 sya lap tepi bibir sya..xapa2 juga pn. Kurang asam Mr Liam dia kasi kena sya!

Dia ketawa2 tingu sya. Hurmm! Sya mencebik terus tingu luar. Malam sdh. Kmi dmana ni?

‘Where we?’ sya tnya Mr Liam.
‘Our home..’ Dia senyum. Our home?! Rumah diakah..our home kunun! That’s not mine..
‘Ee why u no wake me up?’
‘I saw u mcm too tired.lets go.’ Mr Liam pigang pintu kereta sdh.
‘Owen inside?’ Sya masi x berganjak dri tmpt duduk sya.
‘No. he is at my parent’s house. Only two of us..’ Gulp! Kering tekak sya. kami dua ja? Jangan fikir bukan2 Issabella, kau dtg sini ambil baju seja yg tertggl..
Shud I or shudnt i? Naluri sya bertelingkah lagi. In the end, sya turun juga. Punya sejuk. Lama juga sya tertidur ni. Sya gusuk2 bahu sya..
‘Cold. Why u xkasi bgn sya tadi..’ rasa bersalah pla sya buat dia tunggu lama dlm kereta.
‘We just arrived juga bah 5 minutes ago. U sleep along the way seja pn. Xsampai hati mau kasi bgn u. nti u marah sya lg mcm td..mcm mana?’ Mr Liam buka jaket dia, dia kasi pakai d bahu sya. bah hati sya mula sdh ding ding ding dong dong dong mcm tu lagu Shinee.

‘Yala.sorry.’ sya bilang begitu ja. Sya juga yg tertidur. Kami berjalan beriringan.

Sampai d main door, sya berhenti. I shudnt go inside. Kami dua ja lagi tu. Awkward betul sya rasa. Everything happened in the house spinning around my head. Kalau Owen ada ok lagi..

‘U ambil jala baju sya tu. Sya sini saja..’ Sya tingu Mr Liam.
‘We are already here..come on Bella.’ I don’t think I want to. Dia mau pigang tgn sya, tp laju sya kasi tapuk tgn sya d blkg..

‘I..’
‘U want go inside or I kiss u here..’ Dia tolak badan sya d dinding sblm sya hbs ckp. Hobi dia ni mengugut sya. Tus sya tutup mata smbil kasi kerut tu muka sya..main kasar oh ni lelaki..

‘Ok..ok..’ capat2 sya jalan d bwh tgn dia yg pigang d dinding td. Silaka btl!
Apa kunun sya mau buat. Owen xdlm rumah. Takkan tulung dia kasi bersih tu rumah..sya nmpk bersih ja ni rumah. Ada kali org dtg kasi bersih..

‘U may have ur shower first…pakai ja baju Sarra.’ Arahan kaitu? For wat? Dia bilang ambil bju sya ja. From what he said I think I need to overnight here! No! Berdetap laju lg hati sya. Owen please save mum! Bilang tu hati sya.

‘What do u mean?’ sya buat2 xpaham. Sya tingu dia.
‘What do u mean u don’t know or u wanna have a shower together?’ Gossh! Ni lelaki ah betul2 menguji keimanan hati sya. Lain sya tanya lain dia jawab..sya tingu tmpt lain. Mcm sya rasa pipi sya kana bakar mcm tu udang..

‘I don’t have any intention to stay longer here.my fish..’ Sempat lg sya teringat koruk sya drumah. Apa khabar dorang..sorry Loca & Lola mami stucked in the traffic love!

‘They wont die..’ dia bilang. Mcm dia nampak..
‘How u know?’ sya balas. Sya tingu dia dgn pandangan gerigitan sdh.
‘Please Bella..dont u remember. I ask u think about us not the fish..’ Sikit sya terketawa..
‘Ehem..’ sya tahan ketawa sya. pura2 sya sorius balik.
‘I have something important to tell u.please stay..’ dia usap tgn sya. atukkoiii seram sejuk sya rasa..
‘What? say it now..’ ada juga rasa ingin tahu sya. tp belum membuak2..
‘No. later..’ ini yg sya xsuka ni. Bilang ada mau cakap tp lepas tu kana tunggu lg. sya penat mau berteka-teki. I am not a robot! I have a feeling too..
‘Then send me home now..’ sya malas btl dia bermain tarik tali begitu. Entah apa lagi dia mau cakap..
‘Bella..jangan begini. I want to talk about us, Owen and..’ dia stop d situ.
‘..and..??’ im curious! Sya tingu mata dia. Mr Liam tunduk. I think I know..
‘Emily?’ sya tolong dia jawab. Why he cant mentioned the name in front of me? Why so hard to tell me about her? Sya teringat balik yg Lonad cakap, how we r really look alike. Sakit balik hati sya. sya mau balik! Only if I can..

‘Ya..i don’t want u keep on misunderstanding about it anymore. We need to talk about it..mgkn sdh masanya I tell u everything..’

Everything? Why now, why not when I ask him last time..bikin panas!
‘I don’t know if I can..’ Sya tunduk. But I need to prepare no matter what. I am not Emily!

‘Bella..its ok. I am here.’ Dia peluk sya. dia usap2 kepala sya. dia kiss kepala sya lg. then dia kasi lepas pelukan. Did he think of me as Emily? I wonder..

‘Why?’ sya tingu dia. Uikk kenapa pla sya tnya bgtu. He shudnt do it to me in the first place pun. Aisehh Issabella don’t u like it?

‘Your hair..how many days already u not wash it..’ bida terus muka dia. Mcm yg mau muntah. Silaka! Sya p cium rmbt sya, xpun bau..he is so mean!

‘Bah p mandi dlu. Or u wanna join me?’ Sumbang sdh senyuman dia. Mata sebelah dia senget sdh..
‘I go first..’ Begagar kaki sya mau jalan. Budu oh Mr Liam..laju2 sya lari masuk d guest room.
‘Ok, later I join..’ Mr Liam teriak.
‘In your dreams!’ sya bilang terus sya tutup pintu kuat2. Sya nampak dia ketawa2 lg sblm dia naik atas. Sya sandar d pintu. Nafas sya turun naik. Calm down Issabella. Lupa terus sya pasal Emily!

Hello Emily! I am your long lost twins..Maybe!
