Spotlight (Razif Haydar 2)

Bab 61

"Glad you choose me instead of him."

Dia tersenyum sebelum menggenggam erat tanganku dan menciumnya. Matanya kembali difokuskan ke jalan.

"I lost you twice. I don't want to repeat it again, Jonathan."

Aku terus meraih lengannya dan bersandar di situ.

Okay it's rewind time!!!

"I'm going with Jonathan. No matter what happened, I'll be with him." Danny menjawab seraya menolak tangan Aiman dan selangkah ke belakang menarik tangan aku. "And no one can change the fact, Aiman."

Aku nampak kelopak mata Aiman sudah bergetar. Tahan marah ke tu?!

"Angah..."

"Mama, in case you don't know because I'm sure that this motherfucker must have been telling a wrong version, here is my version. Remember the video? He recorded it and he was the one who made it viral. Dia buat semua tu..."

"Aunty, tak, Aunty. Aiman sumpah tak..."

"Diam, Aiman! It's my mother. She knows me even before I was born. Of course she's gonna pick me over you."

"Mama tak faham. Apa ni, Danny?" Rani Sharmila is the epitome of beauty no brain. Yes dia mak boyfriend aku but dumb is dumb.

"He drugged my martini and basically raped me if that's what you called it because I was drunk and even recorded it and threaten to show it to everyone to which he does anyway at a party in Natascha's house. And you Aiman should feel very grateful that I let you go without any authorities stepping in yet kau masih tak puas dengan aku. Apa yang kau nak?"

Aiman diam dan mengetap giginya. Matanya membundar dan tangannya menggigil. Danny menyambung lagi, "So excuse me if I have to prioritize my boyfriend more than you who I used to love but then you manipulate me and become a psychotic ex. Get it over, Aiman."

Danny menarik tangan aku dan kami keluar dari bilik wad tersebut disusuli dengan Airel yang masuk right the moment Danny cerita pasal what happened to him.

"Dan, I'm really sorry for apa yang adik aku buat kat kau. I knew it he's a psycho cuma aku tak tahulah yang benda akan jadi seteruk dan seserius ni. Aku ingatkan dia cuma nak kau balik je. Aku tak sangka langsung yang dia akan jadi macam ni."

"Tak apalah, Airel. Benda dah jadi and aku dengan Jonathan pun dah getting better. Benda macam ni melibatkan reputation and I can't ruin Aiman's considering he never have one." PURE SHADE RIGHT THERE!

"I know, right. He's stuck up. Best believe aku dah berbuih mulut dah nasihatkan dia tu untuk lupakan kau. Benda tu semua no good pada dia. Tapi dia tidak. Dia ikutkan jugak perasaan dia tu. Aku penat kau tahu tak?! Aku dah tak tahu apa yang aku kena buat nak bagi dia tak jadi macam tu."

"Actually there's one, Airel..." Danny menarik tangan aku. "Stay away from Roy."

Okay back to in the car.

"Danny..." Aku menyeru namanya. "If I may ask, what happened actually between you and Roy why dia macam dengki sangat dengan kau? I mean, I have rights to ask, kan?"

"Yes, you have."

"So, what was it? Dia suka kau ke? Is he even straight tho?"

Danny ketawa kecil. "I like the fact that you are also questioning his sexuality..." Kemudian dia meneguk Coke yang sempat dibeli di hospital tadi. What an irony! "To be honest, I can only come up with a theory. But it's a strong theory tho."

"Apa dia?"

"Sometimes, it doesn't take much reasons to hate on somebody. Roy wants what me and Finn used to have. And he failed on doing it to Finn so sekarang dia just do everything to mess with me. Trust me, jealousy is more dangerous than hatred."
