Destiny

The Red Maleficient

Monday blues! Everyone hate it. Mcm sya blm puas tdr lg. Insiden smlm basi sdh dlm mimpi sya. I need to get ready to work. Sya ambl fon. Iam, sya mau watsap dia dlu. Meaning to say he is the one came up in my mind once I open my eyes.

Me: Morning syg. How u feeling today?
Pandai sdh ah Issabella bersyg syg. Sent. Sya terus p mandi.

Lepas mandi sya tgk balik fon. Belum kana reply. Konpom masi buat peta. Biarlah dlu. let him rest. I am sure physically and mentally Iam also tired.

'Here u go Loca & Lola.' Sya kasi makan dlu tu koruk sya sblm jln. Nanti dorg kebulur. Tp Loca n Lola mcm blm lapar, xperasaan nmpk tu makanan. Masi awal lg kali, blm lg dorg lpr. <3 note Iam masih kekal melekat sana. Sya biar. Hiburan hati sya. Bikin senyum2. More <3

'Morning Nani.' Sya greet c Nani. Nani jugalah harapan, yg plg awal.
'Morning Bell. Td ada org call, cri kau.' Nani tingu sya smbl duduk.
'Aik awal juga ada org cri sya. Siapa?' Sya stop kijap, sya tnya Nani.
'Dia xbgtau pla. Dia bilang ja nti dia call balik.' Nani angkt kening.
'Oh bah yala. Thanks Nani.' Sya terus pg mija sya. Siapa? My mind keep on asking that question. Don? No! Speaking of Don, yes smlm ada few miss called d fon sya. Tp msa tu sya mimpi indah sdh. I can feel what he want to say, itulah sya biar ja. Teda sya return call. Biar dlu perasaan dorang reda. That time I will appologize on bhalf of Iam.

'Bell morning.' Lonad hirup palan2 kupi dia. I can smell the coffee aroma. Awal btl pla dia ni hari. Rare! Kdgkala Lonad ni boss kmi yg kedua. Lately Ms Lucy xmasuk ofis, she is on vacation.

'Morning Lonad.' Sya terus on sius and switch on pc sya. Sya tgk fon, Mr Liam still not reply me. I wonder if he is ok. Ingatan sya singgah juga untk Owen. How r u dad & son? Sya tingu tu gmbr dorg d fon sya.

'Bell, boss xmasuk kn hari ni?' Mcm sya dgr x ja Lonad bckp. Sya xlyn, sya lyn perasaan pla.

Pukk! Kpla sya kana umban lg pakai kertas yg kana koroyok. Style c Lonad mo kasi bgn sya dari melamun pnjg.

'Apaaaa?' Sya xumban dia balik kali ni, sya terus p buang d tong sampah.
'Oiii perempuan give me back that paper. Penting tu.' Kuat tu suara Lonad teriak sya.

Hmpr tersembur tu kupi yg dia minum.

Siapa suruh dia p koroyok tu kertas. Biasa kalau org kasi koroyok kertas mimang xpakai sdh. Nasib tu tong sampah sya xkutur. Kalau ngam2 lg tu anti cleaner dtg pungut smph konpom lg dia mengamuk.

'Eee siapa suruh kau koroyok,lps tu umban2 sya lg. Nah ambil balik..' Opppss!!! Sya cover mulut dgn tgn. Hampir2 masuk dlm coffee Lonad. Kalau masuk konpom mati sya kana cekik hahaha
'Beelllllll!!!!!' Sya ready tutup telinga. Sdh sya agak jeritan dia tu buli kasi pch gelas kaca. Salah dia juga pun. Budu oh c Lonad Lonada.
'Ee sorry bah. Sepa suruh kau..' Sya minta maaf juga.
'Whatever!' Dia ambl tu kertas then dia buka balik smbl gusuk2 kasi rata tu kertas. Okay his Diva is back.
'Apa jga kau tnya td?' Sya xtingu Lonad.
'Sya tnya, bf kau masuk ofis ka x ni hari a.k.a boss.' Huh! Mencebik lg dia.
'Boss xmasuk tu.' Pndk ja sya jwb.
'Bell..' Sampai sana ja tu ayat c Lonad. Terdiam dia kijap.
'Apalagiii?' Sya tingu Lonad yg ternganga tingu dpn.

Zappp!! Bdn sya mcm kana sambar petir. What she is doing here? Apalagi dia mau ni. Xcukup semlm dia dtg meroyan lg ka d ofis. This is not a healthy breakfast!

Emily. She glared at me. Today she is using red lipstick. Kalau sdh namanya model pakai apapn lawa. No need to explain how she look alike because in the end its just like I am looking myself in the mirror. Another version of my look. Correction, my look only not myslef!

Sya nmpk lg Nani intai2 dri celah2 pintu dgn muka yg pucat. Takut kali dia. Sya hint seja dia duduk ja d tmpt dia balik. Let us handle her Nani! Me?! Can I? I even doubt myself.

'Hey Lonad. You masi kerja sini ah. How loyal.' Dia alih pndgn tmpt Lonad. Kurang sikit seja kesinisan senyuman dia. Lonad? Muka dia mcm mau talan c Emily sdh.
'Hey, at least I am loyal not a b**** like u.' I salute u Lonad. Punya pedas tu, mcm cili padi. Ini barulah buku bertemu ruas. How I wish I can speak out loud like Lonad did. Jd harapan sya skg ni Lonad ja.

'Eh kau jgn kurang ajar ah Lonad. Jaga sikit mulut kau tu.' Dia tunjuk muka Lonad.
'Who r u?! You r not even my boss. Kalau kau xmau org kurang ajar dgn kau, then behave urself!' Tmbh sinis tu nada suara c Lonad. Dia terus tingu skrin pc, dia pigang tu mouse smbg kerja.
'Sya dtg bkn mau bergaduh sma kau. Where is ur boss?!' Kalau bkn bergaduh apa? Cari pasal? She is not done yet. Mcm sya invisible sdh antra dorang.
'Kau tnyalah dia sdri! Poor you kan Emily. Skg kau mau jilat ludah kau balik. Have u lost ur dignity?' Lonad balas pndgn tajam Emily. Wow! Lonad kasi dia cukup2. Sya jd pom2 girls sdh dlm diam.

Merah sdh muka Emily mcm api kana simbah petrol. Bibir dia menggeletar. She is really angry. Dia angkat tgn mau tempiling c Lonad. Pakk! Dia cari pasal dgn org yg salah. Kuat c Lonad cengkam pergelangan tgn dia.

'You better get out of her Emily before I sdri heret u keluar.' Can u imagine that? Lonad berdri sdh, sya pn terbdri tingu dorang. Now, he is really his!
'Let my hand off!!' Emily meronta tarik tgn dia. For few minutes Emily meronta dgn muka berkerut seribu bru Lonad kasi lepas tgn dia.
'Arrrggh! Damn u Lonad!' Dia hayun tgn dia ke bwh. Lps tu dia pigang pergelangan tgn dia. Sakit kan? Lonad senyum sinis ja.
'You better go, now!!' Lonad gertak lg Emily smpi dia terundur setapak ke blkg.Keluar sdh tu kejantanan dia yg dia simpan2. Terkejut btl tu muka dia. Mcm tikus yg kana kejar kucing.
'Huh! And you, just wait..' Dia sempat tunjuk sya dgn tgn dia yg bergegar2 lg. Xsempat sya jwp terus dia berlalu keluar. Did she just give me a verbal warning? Probably..

Fuhh!! Sya hela nafas.Terus sya terduduk smbl pigang dagu.

'You ok ka?' Lonad pigang bahu sya.
'Sorry, Bell, Lonad! Sdh sya kestau tp dia rempuh masuk ja.' Nani muncul dgn muka kelat dia. Cemas.
'Is ok Nani. Calm down ja. I am here.' Tabik dada lg c Lonad. Kesukaan dia berjaya usir tu beautiful witch.
'Bah yala, sya duduk dlu.' Nani p keluar balik p front desk.

'Is ok, I am ok. Terkejut skit ja. Xsangka dia dtg sini lg pla.' Sya senyum paksa. I am not okay actually.
'Apalgi, balik sini mau menyundal lg laitu. Mau ja sya ganyang tu mulut dia.Bikin panas ja!' God! Mulut c Lonad langsung x insuran.
'Eee kau ni, xbgs ckp org bgtu. Btw thanks. You save me.' Sya pigang lengan Lonad. Kalau Lonad x, sya xtau apa Emily akn buat.
'Is ok Bell. Rilek, bukan boss ja buli jd hero ah. I also can!' Dia genggam penumbuk dia then dia angkt tgn, mcm tu Superman.
Ketawa sya tingu gaya Lonad. He is very something.

Sya lirik2 fon. Up until now no reply from Mr Liam. Delivered tp dia masi blm baca. Shud I tell him Emily come here? Sya ambl fon sya.
Me: Baby, everything okay?
Sya mau tekan delete tp sent sdh. Budu kenapa lg sya type 'baby' tu, Bikin sya rasa mau muntah sdri hahaha In the end I cant tell him about Emily. Biarlah dulu.

Issabella, next chapter is even hard. Be prepared and stay strong!
