Destiny

The Crazy Truth

Sejuk! Menusuk d tulang sum2 sya. Budu bah c Issabella ni p mandi lg pdahal masi demam2. Sya rasa rimas, mau juga mandi. Biarlah mandi kerbau bilang c P.Ramlee.

Sophie! I need to meet her. Sebelum kepala sya meletup biarlah sya kasi pecah dlu rahsia2 yg sya xtau. Sya xmampu bersemuka dengan Don, jd Sophie seja harapan. Kalau dia xmau cakap, pandai2lah sya mau suap dia. Main buyuk!

Capat2 sya dressing. Sya pakai cardigan pink untk cover sejuk bdn sya. Sya ambil fon, sya p cari number Sophie. Ringing!
‘Please answer, Sophie!’ First try xkana angkat. Sya call lg. Mundar mandir sdh sya sambil pigang dahi.
‘Hello..’ Sya dgr suara lunak Sophie. Great! Sophie jwb juga. Inilah susah kalau artis kampung2 ni, susah btl mau tembus HOTline.
‘Fiee, I need your help. Please!’ Terus sya terjah. Sya xpdli sdh apa c Sophie fkr.
‘Bell, calm down. Kau ni gelojoh btl. Hello pun x, tiba2 mcm angin taufan..’ Sophie tergelak d hujung fon. Cute!
‘Its Don, Don..’ Sya xtau mcm mana mau explain sama Sophie. Sya mau juga face to face dgn dia.
Mcm Sophie terdiam sekejap. Few minutes kmi diam2. Sya gigit2 bibir sdh.
‘Fiee, I need to meet you. Now..’ Last2 sya dluan berckp. Sya berharap btl Sophie xmenolak.
‘Bell..i don’t know if I am the right person u reached...’ Bnyk kali sdh sya dgr ni ayat2 begini, I don’t k if they willing to tell me the truth. Makin sya penasaran. I knew, Sophie knew something. Tp kenapa dia xpernah kasitau sya?
‘Fiee, I don’t k..kita jumpa, bulikah?’ Sya xpasti sya sama ada sya sdh sedia ka x, mau tau kebenaran yg Don xkasitau sya. Yg pntg sya mau tau, tu ja yg sya rasa. I feel like a fool! Kabak2 sdh dada sya biarpun blm lg sya bdpn sama Sophie.
‘Ermmm bah, oklah. Kita jumpa tmpt biasa kita kupi2 tu. Il wait u there, kbtln sya d luar ni skg. Bru hbs shooting dia bilang..’ Aiseh retis Sabahan bah c Sophie ni. Kamu mau tau juga ni kan sepa c Sophie. Bukan c  Sophielia Anderson ah..

Call end! Sya sambar sling beg hitam sya. Ouch! Sya duduk kijap tekan kepala sya, sakit berdenyut! Calm down Issabella. Sya pejam mata rapat2, sya tarik nafas, sya hembus palan2. After I feel better terus sya keluar. Smpt sya silik Loca sama Lola, pray for my mission! Sya nmpk tu <3 note Iam masi sana melakat d akuarium. My love still with u Iam, I just need to find out something sya bilang dlm hti. Cinta sy masih utuh untk dia. You better mark your words Issabella!

Sya call teksi terus. Dlm teksi sya tingu2 d luar. Sya peluk tubuh. Sejuk sikit. Sya xsabar mau jumpa Sophie sdh. Hey, Don! How are you bilang tu hati sya..hari tu kami teda pun say hi terus perang dingin. I have Iam now, so what I want more? Don? Sya  ulang2 dia tu masa lalu sya tp ada sesuatu yg sya perlu tau. I know, I feel like I am cheating over Iam but trust me I don’t have any bad intention. We doubt it Issabella!

Sya berdiri kijap dpn pintu tu café tmpt fav kami lepak-ing. Once upon a time, Sophie, Don & me always come here to spent time together. Sophie the one introduce me to Don. Gelak tawa sya, Don & Sophie mengisi ruangan ingatan sya. No Issabella! Capat2 sya padam tu flashback. You come here not to remember the past but to find out what ur heart want to know…

Cepat2 sya push in tu pintu. Sya nmpk Sophie senyum smbl lambai2 tgn dia. Fuhh! Sya tarik nafas dlu.
‘Hi Fiee..’ Lama xnmpk ni sumandak lawa. Sya peluk cium pp dia sblm sya duduk.
‘Bell, u look pale? Kau xsihat kaini..’ Nah Sophie juga yg paling memahami sya. Sya terlupa pakai lip balm td. Nmpklah bibir sya yg kering sama pucat. How careless I am.
‘Aaah demam skit seja ni.’ Sya tarik rapat tu cardigan sya. Nasib Sophie pilih tmpt duduk d corner yg xberapa kana timbak aircond.
‘Bah jd sdh kau makn ubat? Kanapa juga kau mau btl rushing jumpa kalau xsht. Kalau kau pingsan mcm mana?’ Sophie tingu sya.
‘Sdh bah…sya ada lg mkn bubur td.’ Bubur <3 dri Iam. I feel much better, kunun..
‘Eee kau ni, patut kau rehat saja drumah. We can meet another day, tomorrow never die.’ Sempat lg Sophie main2. Tomorrow will die if I dead tomorrow! Dei tiba2 sya tpkr begitu. Palis! Mulau..
‘Fiee..’ Sya xsabar sdh mau tanya baini. Spohie dpn mata sdh kan.
‘Kita order minum dlu or some snack. Sya haus sama a bit hungry..’ Bilang Sophie smbl senyum. Oppss! Guilty pla sya terlalu rushing.
‘Okay..sorry Fiee. I am too desperate!’ Sya senyum malu sdh.
‘Memang..rilek bah. Xjuga sya lari ni..’  Dia bilang. Sya senyum kelat ja. Kalau dia lari sya kejar juga biarpun tpksa merentasi 7 lautan.
‘Excuse me..’ Sophie angkat tgn p panggil tu waitres. Mau order.
‘Kau mau minum apa?’ Sophie tanya sya.
‘Warm water only.’ Tekak sya xrasa mau minum minuman manis atau makan2.
‘Aikk takkan air ja? Makan?’ Sophie angkt kudou style Korea dia. Ini sumandak ni Kpop hard die fan.
‘I don’t feel want to drink or eat bah Fiee..’ Sya bilang. Pait tu tekak sya telan air liur.
‘Bah yala..’ Sophie tingu itu waitress yg berdiri tggu order kami sdh.
‘Give me chocolate shake with ice-cream, black forest slice cake and two warm water. Tu ja dlu, anything nti kami order lg.’ Sophie yg order satu kali. Sophie angguk2 ja dgr tu waitress kasi repeat order kami.

Tida lama air kami sampai. Chocolate shake Sophie pn sampai. Atukkoii pedih tekak sya nmpk ice-cream yg meleleh2 dri tu gelas Sophie. Too sweet! Bilang diet..

‘You wana try..’ Dia bilang, perasan kali sya tingu tu minuman dia mcm mau terkeluar tu mata sya. I am not sugar lover! Mksd sya minuman dan makanan yg manis2. Patulah badan sekeping kan hahaha

‘No thanks..’ Sya kasi kerut muka smbl geleng2. Ketawa c Sophie. Bila Sophie ketawa atau senyum paras dia xlain xbukan saling xtumpah mcm Don!
‘Lama kita xlepak2 begini kan..’ Sophie kasi putar2 tu straw dlm minuman dia. Kami jarang jumpa sdh skg, since I over with Don. Lgpun sibuk pula kalau artis ni. Sya pun bru ja kerja kan, lainlah yg dlu. Baby sitter xbertauliah..
‘Artis kan kau. Malar sibuk..’ Sya balas smbl jeling Sophie.
‘Mana ada. Kau tu yg sombong sma sya sdh..’  Aikk kasi balik paku buah keras pla sama sya. Dia yg sibuk kalah2 Kak Mah (yg rmbt dia kambang mcm sarang tebuan bah)..Oppss! terlepas ckp..
‘Fiee, Don…’ Tlalu pnjg sudah tu mukadimah, jd skg sya masuk topik penting dlu.
‘Don?’ Sophie tingu sya dengan muka yg sugul.
‘Ya..he came to my house tis early morning. I became like tis all because of him. So Fiee, please don’t lie to me..’ Akhirnya sya brjaya sdh kasi keluar satu point utama.
‘Bell, bukan sya xmau cakap tp Don…’
‘Don yg xmau kau kasitau sya. Begitu?’ Punya main capat sya tangkap apa yg Sophie mau cakap. Sel2 otak sya aktif sdh.

‘Ya, dia mau kasitau kau sdri. Alone with u..’ Terasa hati sya, darah panas sya menyirap lg d kepala sya.
‘Apa juga yg dia xmau kasitau sya Fiee. Other than he sleep with Olivia, having baby with her, apalg yg sya xtau? Nobody tell me until I found out sdri. Kalau Olivia xdtg cari sya dlu, sampai skg Don tipu sya hidup2..’  Sya tahan emosi sya. If can I don’t want to remember my painful past. Sya kasi kedip2 mata sya tingu ats, smbl gigit bawah bbr sya. 3 tahun itu sudah cukup menyiksa perasaan sya. Berlubang terus tu hati sya.

‘Bell, don’t just jump to a conclusion like tat..’ Sophie capai tgn sya. Sya rasa dia mau membela Don. Dorang kan cousin. Nah now u know who is Sohpie. Sophie is my bff masa kursus JPSM dlu. Tp dia kos lain, beauty & make up.

‘Then tell me the truth Fiee. So I will stop to not think as I wish.’ Sya tingu Sophie tepat d mata dia.
‘Huhh!..’ Sophie hembus nafas berat. Dia kasi lepas tgn sya. Sya masi tingu dia, berdetap jntg sya tggu kata2 dia yg setersunya. Come on Sophie!
‘You really wana know?’ Dia tingu sya lg. Dup Dap sdh jntg sya.
‘Yes!’ Punya sya yakin boleh. I don’t k what happen next, I just need to know the truth yg berabis Don mau tapuk. Dia pkr itu harta karun ka yg berharga juta2..
‘Ya, Don sleep with Olivia..’ Sophie stop sampai sana. Yes, I know that. If only the truth is sweet as love..
‘Olivia planed it to trap Don. But the baby dlm kandungan Olivia bukan Don punya. Her another ex-bf..’

What???!!!!

Blank terus kepala sya sblm Sophie habis cakap! I can assume her next words! Pandangan sya berpinar2 sdh. Sya rasa mcm bdn sya kana tarik dlm pusaran air. Kepala sya balik lagi kana cucuk2 seribu jarum2 halus. 1 second, 2 second, 3 second, My world is all in black! Sya dingar sayup2 seja tu suara Sophie panggil2 nama sya…

Don, WHY?!!!
