Book 2:Born To Be The Leader

Bab 11

JAM menunjukkan jam 7:05 pagi, kawasan perjiranan itu mula hidup dengan suara salakan anjing, kanak-kanak yang sedang menunggu bas sekolah dan bunyi pelbagai jenis kenderaan.

Rumah Aisy Amni bingit dengan suara Zulaika memarahi anak daranya yang berkali-kali dikejutkan tapi masih liat nak bangun tidur.

" Aisy wake up!. Wake up! you'll be late, dah pukul 7:30 pagi ni! Nanti kena ambil nama dengan pengawas macam mana!."

" Yeah. Yeah. There no such things here." jawab Aisy Amni mengosok matanya bagi menghilangkan kantuk.

" You should stop using that lame methods, mom." kata Aisy Amni sambil berlari turun dari tangga, maknya suka meneka masa dan mengejutnya 30 minit awal.

" This evening help me pick up the clothes that Aunt Ruby sewed. Here's the money."

" Okay, but I'll be late because my class ends at 4pm and I'll use your car." maklum Aisy Amni yang sudah menyalakan enjin kereta maknya.

Dia sudah lambat untuk ke sekolah.

" Okay. Take care." Zulaika melepas keluh kecil mungkin selepas kena saman baru anaknya itu berhenti membawa keretanya tanpa lesen.

Aisy Amni menyanyi kecil sambil mengetuk jari pada stering kereta.

Dia baru sahaja pulang dari mengambil pakaian seperti yang diarahkan maknya.

BAM!

" Omg! What was that?" Dia berhentikan kereta dibahu jalan sebelum turun melihat benda apakah yang telah dilanggar.

" Are you okay, sir?I didn't see you crossing the road." tanya Aisy dia cuba menolong lelaki itu ke tepi jalan tapi dia tersentak bila tangannya ditepis kasar.

" I'm sorry Mr. I didn't see you cross the street. Are you okay sir?." tanya Aisy Amni lagi.

Dia mula bimbang bila melihat kereta polis tidak jauh dari tempat mereka.

" Do I look fine in your eyes?!, My arm is broken!. Pay me or I will file a police report." ugut lelaki itu masih memegang lengannya yang sedikit calar.

" Sir, don't worry I'll be responsible and pay all your treatment costs.."

" Not only the treatment cost but including the compensation fee!." tanya lelaki itu dengan wajah tidak percaya.

" Why do I have to compensate you? It's just a little scratch and it's your fault why are you crossing here?"

" Do you have a license? Hah I knew it you don't even have a license right? and you're under age." komen lelaki itu.

Lelaki itu melihat kearah dua orang pegawai polis yang lalu di kawasan itu.

" Good evening Sir, what's happened?" tanya pegawai polis itu.

" She hit me and try to run." balas lelaki itu selamba.

" No!. I'm not running away and I just parking my car my car before helping him." terang Aisy Amni gelabah bila lelaki itu menuduhnya cuba membuat jenayah langgar lari.

" You look young, How old are you miss?."

" I'm... I'm old enough to driving a car."

" Yeah, Please follow us to the police station and you too sir." balas pegawai itu endah tak endah dengan jawapan Aisy Amni.

Wajah Aisy Amni mencuka, menjeling tajam pada lelaki disebelahnya itu, hatinya bertambah panas bila melihat senyum sinis lelaki itu.

'Patutnya aku langgar je kau sampai mati' detik hatinya menahan geram.

" What's happened? His boyfriend cheated on her?" tanya seorang pegawai lelaki sebaik saja rakannya melangkah masuk ke dalam balai.

" Hit and run. Name?." tanya pegawai itu pada Aisy Amni sambil menaip sesuatu pada komputernya.

" Aisy Amni."

" Age? "

" ... "

" Age?." Aisy Amni melepaskan keluh kasar dia sudah tidak boleh mencipta apa-apa alasan lagi bila umurnya ditanya.

" 15 years old."

" You're a minor, driving without a license. We need to call your parents. what's your father's name?."

" Muhd Mikail." jawab Aisy Amni sambil menjeling tajam lelaki disebelahnya.

" Your mothers' name? Your id number? "

" Zulaika, 980#####."

" Sir we need your information as the victim for the record, What is your name?." pegawai itu beralih pula pada remaja lelaki yang mendakwa dirinya sebagai mangsa langgar lari itu.

" Tengku Adam Haizard bin Tengku Adam Mikhail. 18 years old."

" So both of you are foreigners? Do you want to settle down here or want to settle by yourself?." tanya pegawai itu lagi memandang Aisy Amni dan Tengku Haizard.

" Excuse me but I'm not a foreigner, I was born in California and just moved here."

" Yeah Miss but both of your parents are from Malaysia." Aisy Amni menjulingkan matanya keatas.

" Ouch my hand."

" Are you okay, Sir?." tanya pegawai itu mendekati Tengku Haizard.

" I think my arm was sprained or possibly broken." Tengku Haizard membiarkan pegawai itu memegang lengannya.

" No, officer. He was trying to scam me. He crossed without looking and I didn't see him crossed. He trying to scamming me."

" That's enough. Give me your parent's phone number. I will call your parents!."

" Hey! Are you a scammer!?." tanya Aisy Amni tak puas hati.

" Ouch. My hand... Oh my god... My hand." pegawai itu menjeling Aisy Amni sambil mengusap lengan Tengku Haizard.

Aisy Amni membalas jelingan pegawai itu dan bersilang kedua tangan di dada dengan wajah bosan menunggu maknya.

" Aisy. I'm so sorry officer. Aisy apologize." Zulaika yang baru sampai kelam kabut meminta maaf.

" Why should I apologize?. it's not my fault and it's his fault for crossing the road without looking."

" Your daughter almost break his hand but as his requested so I'll leave this case to you guys to settle it alone. Okay Tengku?."

Aisy Amni menjulingkan matanya bila pegawai perempuan itu memberikan senyuman yang begitu manis pada Tengku Haizard.

" Thank you, Ms. Officer." pegawai itu ketawa senang mendengar cara Tengku Haizard memanggil dirinya membuatkan Aisy Amni bertambah menyampah.

" I'm Zulaika." kata Zulaika sebaik saja mereka bertiga keluar dari balai.

" Tengku Haizard."

" I apologize for my daughter's fault. She was very careless. Regarding your injuries, let us pay all the costs of your treatment."

" Mama..."

" What!?, You know you're guilty but still want to deny it. Apa mama nak buat dengan kamu ni Aisy."

" What! that smirk!. Mama can't you see that?. Haha are you trying to play dirty with me hah!."

" What's wrong with you Aisy Amni?. I'm sorry Mr. Tengku."

" It's okay. Haha."

" Do you want to die!?." Zulaika memukul bahu anaknya geram.

Aisy Amni tidak puas hati menjeling tajam Tengku Haizard yang tersenyum sinis padanya.

" You can me Haizard auntie and can I call you auntie?."

" Of course. Glab to hear that and we are from the same country. Kamu boleh guna bahasa melayu."

" Ohh really. Hmmm saya memandu untuk ke kolej but now I don't think I can use my hand." luah Tengku Haizard dengan nada sedih.

" I'll send and pick you up from college."
