ARABELLA

Part 19 - Twin

Brad yang baru sudah mandi petang terdengar petikkan piano dari ruangan tengah mansion. Dengan cepat dia menyarung baju dan seluar lalu berlari turun. Dia mahu tahu, siapa yang berani menyentuh piano kesayangannya dia juga tidak suka orang luar menyentuh piano kesayangannya.

Sampai sahaja di lantai bawah, dia melihat isterinya, Bella sedang leka memetik dan mengalunkan lagu Flashlight nyanyian Jessie J. Langkah Brad serta merta terhenti. Dia tersenyum sambil berdiri menyandarkan tubuhnya di dinding. Kedua tangan kekarnya disilangkan di hadapan dada.

Dia menghayati bait-bait lagu dengan kelunakkan suara isterinya diiringi petikkan piano.

When tomorrow comes
I'll be on my own
Feeling frightened of
The things that I don't know
When tomorrow comes
Tomorrow comes
Tomorrow comes

And though the road is long
I look up to the sky
And in the dark I found,
I lost hope that I won't fly
And I sing along, I sing along
And I sing along

I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me through the night
Kick start my heart when you shine it in my eyes
Can't lie, it's a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me through the night
'Cause you're my flashlight (flashlight)
You're my flashlight (flashlight)
You're my flashlight

I see the shadows long beneath the mountain top
I'm not afraid when the rain won't stop
'Cause you light the way
You light the way, you light the way

I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me through the night
Kick start my heart when you shine it in my eyes
I can't lie, it's a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me through the night
(Light light light you're my flashlight, light, light)
Light light you're my flashlight
Light light light light light, oh
(Light light light you're my flashlight, light, light)
You're my flash, oh

I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me through the night
Can't stop my heart when you shinin' in my eyes
I can't lie, it's a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
(You're my flashlight)
You're getting me, getting me through the night
'Cause you're my flashlight
'Cause you're my flashlight
You're my flashlight

You're my flashlight
Light light
You're my flashlight
Light light ye-yeah

You're my flashlight

Plapp!
Plapp!!

Brad menepuk tangan seraya melangkah menghampiri Bella.

Bella tersentak lantas berdiri. Dia sendiri tidak sedar, suaminya sedang memerhatikannya dari tadi.

"Babe.. I'm sorry.. i-"

"Syyhh.." Brad meletakkan jari telunjuknya di bibir Bella.

Brad menyentuh kedua bahu Bella lembut.

"Apa saja milik babe dalam mansion ni, milik sayang juga. Tak perlu sayang nak minta maaf."

"Pandai sayang main piano. Babe tak tahu, sayang memiliki suara yang sedap." Puji Brad sambil menatap kewajah isterinya.

Bella tersengih mendengar pujian suaminya.

"Thanks, babe." Ucap Bella sambil tersenyum lebar.

"Mana sayang belajar main piano? Setahu babe, di mansion papa tak ada piano." Brad duduk di kerusi berhadapan dengan piano.
