Assalamualaikum,

Maaf sebab terpaksa mungkir janji nak selalu update. A lot of work come across. Bertimpa-timpa. Kalau ada yang still mengharapkan cerita ni diupdate selalu, sis minta maaf awal-awal :/

Here you go,

*********************

Dazrin sengaja melepak mengambil angin atas bumbung La Épicure Restaurant. Fikirannya menerawang pada situasi tengah hari tadi.

"Hmm, kau still nak continue plan asal or batalkan je? Yelah, since Far.. kau faham kan?". Ayat Dazrin teragak-agak. Biar Farhan tafsir sendiri ayat tu.

"Kau rasa?". Farhan menyudu Quick French Onion Soup pula. Hmm, sedap.

"Entahla. Aku ikut kau je. Sebab ni kan plan asal kau". Dazrin sedut lagi air yang masih berbaki.

"Aku tanya kau soalan ni dan aku nak kau jujur", Farhan pandang tepat mata Dazrin.

"Kau ni kenapa tetiba nak jadi serious ni?"Dazrin sengih sambil garu kepala.

"Apa pendapat kau pasal Far? I mean, kau ada apa-apa rasa tak dengan Far"

"Soalan apa ni? Apa yang kau cuba nak sampaikan sebenarnya?"

"Kalau kau takde apa-apa dengan Far, aku nak kau teruskan lakonan kau. Tapi, kalau kau ada rasa dengan dia, aku nak batalkan plan ni"

"Apa kau ni? Aku takfaham"

"Sebab pendapat kau akan mempengaruhi keputusan ni. Ada dua pilihan kat tangan kau. Sama ada nak teruskan atau batalkan".

"Hello Dazrin. What are you doing here? Its late already". Sherry yang tiba-tiba muncul dari dalam pejabat.

"Nothing. Just want to be alone", ringkas.

"What's on your mind? Mind to share with me?", Sherry bertanya.

"It's nothing. Like I said just now, I just wanna be alone. Why are you still here?", Dazrin melihat jam menunjukkan angka 12.45 pagi.

"I just finished my proposal for tomorrow. The client from Canada will be coming to taste our new menus and also buy the recepies". Dazrin mengangguk. Lama mereka berdiam. Masing-masing buat hal sendiri.

"So, how's your fiancee? Ermm, F something..Freya? Fiona? Sorry, don't remember her name", Sherry cuba mengingat.

"Far". Pendek. Hampir terlupa fasal pembohongan tersebut. Nampaknya, Sherry masih lagi percaya status pertunangan dia dengan Far. Baguslah kalau macamtu. Patutlah kebelakangan ni Sherry dah 'kurang' berkepit dengan dia.

"She's been good. She becomes more beautiful day by day and I cannot resist her everytime we met". Chewahh, pujian melangit kau bagi dekat Far. Tapi, apa dia kira. Asalkan pembohongan takterbongkar.

"Wow. You fall for her really hard, Daz. So, when you're gonna ask her for marriage?", soalan cepu emas Sherry hadiahkan buat Dazrin.

Dazrin menolak rambut ke belakang. "Hmm, not thinking about it yet. She still young and I want her to enjoy her life first, archieve what she dream off. Later, when she's ready I will ask her". Rasanya itu jawapan paling selamat.

"How long? Sooner or later you'll become old. Else, she'll meet another man who promised to give her moon and stars". Soalan Sherry gaya nak menjerat.

"Not too long. In one or two more years maybe. How about you? Have you found your mister right?", sengaja dia taknak panjangkan kisah dia dan Far yang sememangnya mustahil terjadi. Soalan hampir sama dia tujukan kepada Sherry.

"Hmm, I don't know. The person I fell for fall for another woman. I thought he loves me. The way he treat me, help me whenever I need help. Always by my side. Through thick or thin. Never thought its only one side love". Pernyataan Sherry bagai 'macam' mencerminkan dirinya. Tapi tanggapannya itu cuba ditepis.

"I hope you'll find another man who is better than him. The man who loves you with all of his heart". Sherry diam.

"Its getting late. I need to get my good sleep and ready for tomorrow. Bye Dazrin". Sherry mengambil tas tangan dan bangun dari kerusi kayu.

"Are you sure ready for tomorrow? I think it is today since now the date are changing after midnight. Haha". Dazrin melihat tarikh dan masa pada skrin telefon bimbitnya.

"Urhh, my bad. Bye". Sherry berlalu.

"Bye. Drive savely". Dazrin menghantar pandang pada gadis tinggi lampai yang berasal dari Australia itu yang hilang disebalik dinding restoran. Beberapa minit kemudian nampak Sherry menuju ke keretanya. Bunyi enjin kereta memecah kesunyian malam. Kereta keluar dari parkir dan bunyi sayup-sayup enjin kereta berlalu ke arah lebuhraya. Dazrin hanya memerhati dari atas bumbung restoran.

Angin pagi itu sepoi-sepoi bahasa. Nyaman.

'Lagi 15 minit aku balik', katanya dalam hati.

'Game ni patut teruskan atau tak?'
