Destiny

Persuade The Little Boy

I am out of mood to do my work. Whole day no reply from Mr Liam. Mcm setiap jam bah sya cek fon. Actually I am a bit worried. Sya call few time sdh no answer. This is a voice mail! Balik2 tu suara operator yg tulung dia jwb tu call.

Sya lentok kpla ats mija. Xsmgt sdh sya mau bikin kerja. Sya tingu Lonad khyusuk kunun dia tingu Pc. Sekali tiba2 dia ketawa. Apalagi tingu Running Man laitu. Teda boss kan, ambil kesempatan. Nasib xlama sdh mau jam 5.

Ting! Ada watsap notifications. Cepat2 sya bangun terus cek fon sya. Ermmmm! Sya lentok balik kpla sya d mija. Kociwa, bukan my <3 .

Don: Bell, I am sorry about last night. Mesti you terkejut kan. So sorry, I lost control of myself.
Acuh xacuh ja sya baca message Don.
Me: Is ok Don. I also apologize on behalf of Iam. How r u?
Sya reply juga. Kasian juga Don. Kalau bukan pasal sya, they wont be fight each other.
Don: I am ok Bell. Not ur fault..
Bgs btl semua orang xmenyalahkan sya. Ya, salah kamu laitu, emosi xbuli kawal. Sya bilang dlm hati. Lelaki, man is man! Sya pun malas mau menunding jari siapa yg salah.
Don: Bell, would u like to go out dinner with me? No worry, I just really want to say sorry. You can bring Sophie along if u scared.
Hurmm! Sya sandar kepala d kerusi. Don, now what?
Me: Let me think about it.
Xmau sdh sya main ckp yes seja. Sya xmau buat dia berharap.
Don: Don’t take so long.
Lama dia typing tp sekali dia reply 4 perkataan ni ja.
Me: Don’t put a high hope, Don.
Don: Xsalah kan..

Bah pedulilah kau. Sudah sya kasitau awal2. Jangan bilang lps ni sya bg dia harapan palsu. Sya letak fon d tepi. Xhati sya mau reply Don lagi. Lama2 dia give up juga tu. Mcm sya ulang2 ni instinct sya tp smpi skg Don masi belum putus asa. Mungkin nanti…

Iam? Owen? Muka dorg berganti2 singgah d kotak fikiran sya. Apa dorang buat skg ni? Sya teringat2 msa sya drumah dorang awal2 dulu. How nostalgic! How I wish I am there now.

‘Bell!!’ Nama sya kana panggil kuat. Terkejut sya. Bertempiaran sya pnya angan2.
‘Kenapa lgi?’ Sya tingu Lonad dgn muka xbersalah.
‘Cik seri Issabella, dari td fon kau tu ringing. Yg bila lg last kau kurik telinga kau ni?’ Kurang asam. Last msa Iam tulung kurik dlu hahaha sempat lg sya jwb dlm hati.
‘Oh errr..siou..’ Baru sya tersedar fon sya ringing. Balik2 tu ringtone sya Happy by Leona Lewis ulang2. Kalau tu hp sya pandai teriak konpom mengamuk sdh kepenatan.
‘Crazy!’ Lonad bilang terus dia buat muka serius. Nanti kau Lonada. Bikin panas btl tu gaya. Betul2 mcm2 dia punya mood. Sikijap bikin panas, sikijap bikin sajuk hati, kijap hero kijap heroin. Palm on face!

Abaikan dia. Cepat2 sya tingu hp. Ingin saja ku teriak smpi d bintang (Ternyanyi2 lagu Azharina - Sekian terima kasih). Finally!

‘Hello..’
‘Hello, Bella what takes u so long to answer?’ Terus kena attack. Padahal dia sdri xjwb call sya. But I love to, than he keep on in the silent mode.
‘Sorry boss. Sibuk..’ Sya tahan2 ketawa sya. Eksaited sya lain btl, mcm yg bru satu kali kana kol buah hati pengarang jantung.
‘Apa boss2. Hows the office?’ Itu pla dia tanya. Sya mau putus nyawa sdh fkr pasal dia, smpt pla dia tnya apa khbr ni ofis. Teguh bdri lg ni ofis, blm dlanda taufan.
‘Everything ok. You call mau tanya itu ja? Kalau itu ja, ok baii..’ Sya tarik muncung sedepa biarpun dia xnmpk. Kecil hati sya.
‘Wait! I am not done talking yet.’ Hampir2 sdh sya end call td. Nasib dia kasi kuat suara dia.
‘Owen looking for you. He miss u.’ Dia sambung lg. Anak seja kah yg rindu? Bukan bapa dia? Sya merungut2 dlm hati. Hati sya belum terubat, I wanna hear he say he miss me. Giliran sya pla mengada2. Siapa suruh dia diam2 setengah hari. I lamost think nonsense.
‘Bella, you there?’ Sya diam2 ja.
‘Bella honey, I miss u. Is that enough?’ Kanak2 ribena terus sya. Senyuman sya lebar smpi d telinga.
‘Mcm xikhlas saja tu ckp begitu.’ Sya pura2 xpuas hati.
‘I miss u, all my heart.’ I can feel his warm voice.
‘I miss u too. Why not u reply me? I call pun no answer? You know how worried I was you diam2 begitu..eeee!’ Terkeluar sdh tu bom atom. Td Mr Liam pnya turn, skg sya pnya que up sampai sdh.
‘Sorry sweety. I sibuk pujuk Owen. But I failed. Why not you come here after work. I fetch u? Please..’ Kalau dia xmerayu pun sya mau pg juga. Owen! He need someone to comfort him.
‘I would love to. Poor Owen. Dia nangis2 ka?’ I am curious sdh mcm mana lg Owen meragam kali ini.
‘Not really. He just keep on wear the sweater u bought for him while non stop asking about u. Penat sdh sya jawab.’ I am so touched. Oh my little boy.
In the end kan sya kasi beli Owen rabbit hoodie sweater with ears as his birthday present. Pasti itu budak tua kalut skg. I want to hug him now! He will need a warm comfort from a mother. Sya teringat Emily. Now, shud I tell Iam she was here early in the morning looking for him?
‘Iam..’ I think I want to tell him. Tp berat pla lidah sya mau terus terang.
‘Yes, Bella. Sounds like u have something to talk to.’ Mr Liam dpt tangkap kebuntuan sya.
‘Err..maybe next time. Xpenting.’ Sya xjadi cakap. Nanti bertambah bebanan dlm fikiran dia lg.
‘Bella..’ Suaranya mendesak.
‘Yes baby..’
‘U gotta kidding me!’ Sya ketawa terus dgr dia ckp begitu.
‘I love u.’ Sya ckp separuh berbisik.
‘Bah tonight I am free.’ Makin sya ketawa dgn jawapan dia. Loyar buruk btl.
‘How ur swollen face?’ Sya cuba tukar topic. I can imagine tompok2 biru d muka dia.
‘Need ur kiss. How?’ Makin nakal pula c angkol koruk ni. Sya yg terkena balik.
‘I’ll wait u after work. If u r late, prepared for detention!’ Terkekeh2 sdh dia ketawa d corong telefon.
‘No worry, I promise I will make u pluck the star tonight. Just tell me, Bella mau apa.’ His voice sounds so happy. Takkan bgtu rindu?
‘Nothing but u.’ A simple words yet meaningful.
‘Bah I am coming now. Wait for me...’ Tut! Talian mati.
‘Iam..hello? Hello?’ Seriously! He is being so naughty in a sweet way. Senyum2 sdri sya tgk hp. I can breath easy now.
'Kau kana loteri ka Bell?' Mengolo sya pla c Lonad.
'Mcm bgtulah kiranya. Jackpot!' Being accepted in Iam small family is a jackpot for me.
'Amboi, ngam sgt laitu. Anak beranak suka btl sma kau Bell. Dont waste that opportunity.' Smbl itu tgn Lonad lincah mengemas mija. Times up.
'Thanks Lonad.' Sya senyum smbl kms2 jga file ats mija.

I cant wait dating with my bf and my litte boy. I am sorry Emily, I can resist their love for me!
