ERRA

Bab 21

Jam kat dinding menunjukkan pukul 3tepat. Erra siap2 mandi pe semua,and kemas buku yang dia nak bawak masa dating nanti. Dating2 gak. Pelajaran diutamakan. Gitu.

Tengah siap2 kemas pencil case,Dian si junior dtg mendekati.

"Kak Erra,eem..Teacher Akmar panggil. Sekarang kat bilik dia"

"Sekarang? Apa hal?"

"Tak tau." Lepas hantar pesanan,Dian kembali ke katilnya. Erra cepat2 melangkah ke bilik warden.

Pintu diketuk perlahan. Terpacul Teacher Akmar depan muka.
"Erra,come. I want to talk to you."

"Erm..ok."

"You going somewhere?"

"Haa..erm..Ada discussion sikit."

"Ok,few minutes of your time je. Come,have a seat."

Kerusi rotan yang dah season tu ditarik sikit. Erra kemudian duduk diikuti Teacher Akmar.

"Sorry if its too personal. I just want to give free advice for you guys.  I know how you feel about Zura. I've been there. But showing that intimacy to public is just not right" Walaupun lembut,kata2 tu betul2 membuatkan Erra sentap.

"Intimacy? We are just friends,Teacher. Special friends. " Dari terperangkap,baik Erra cover cerita. Kang mende jadi besar,Teacher Akmar tak berpihak pada dia,habis. Mati.

"As much as I  love seeing this kind of carefree adolescent girls,I still cannot approve it. Do you know what I mean?"

Erra confuse. Sikit masa dulu,Teacher Erra siap buat confession yang dia pernah ada hubungan dengan junior perempuan dia. Tapi sekarang ni apa?

"No,I don't." Balas Erra sambil bangun. Rasa cemas menyelubunyi diri. Mana taknya. Nervous okayyy kena confront camtu.

"Wait,sit down. Calm yourself."

Dada Erra berdebar2. Mende mcm nilah yang dia nak elak,kalau boleh.

"Im not saying that you cannot talk to her again,whatsoever."

Erra masih berdiri memeluk buku.

"People can be mean and judgemental. You have to understand that. This is not Canada or other free country. You get what I mean? Just control yourself."

"I got it."

"Okay,off you go." Cepat je Erra melangkah menuju ke gazebo dekat dengan pagar sekolah bahagian belakang. Zura dah sedia menanti dan kelihatan sedikit terganggu.

"Awak,sorry. Teacher Akmar nak jumpa tadi." Jelas Erra tak bersemangat.

"Kat kelas jumpa,kat asrama jumpa. Tak puas jumpa ke cane ni?"

"It's not like that. She's a teacher. I cannot be rude to her. Even though I don't like her attitude." Bengang Erra dibuatnya.

"What happened?" Soal Zura ingin tahu,sebab muka Erra nampak lain. Macam ada sesuatu yang menganggu.

"It's ok. I don't wanna talk about it."

"Clearly something happened. I have  time,and I want to hear it. Citer lah." Mood Zura agak baik petang ni. Lepas makan Nasik,al maklumlah semua ya. Haha.

"First I would like to say sorry,Im not telling this earlier. She knows. About us." Kata Erra,satu persatu.

"Okay."

"Okay?? Awak ni memang releks je  kan?"

"What do you want me to say? Awak kata dia dah tau way earlier. Kalau dia nak exposekan  kita,dia dah buat kan? The question is,why didn't she?"
