CHAPTER 41

HOLLY’S P.O.V

It’s Hudson’s birthday bash…

Saya tengah getting ready as fast as I could, kena bising-bising sudah saya oleh Jemie…

Saya nampak 2 missed video calls from Jason… nantilah saya call balik, sibuk saya menyelongkar almari saya mencari the perfect dress for tonight….

3rd video call, saya jawab saja… sambil saya putting on my make-up…

Why is Jason being so difficult so suddenly? Banyak soal betul… malas saya 🙄

Tapi I can’t help it juga bila saya tengok betul-betul keberadaan dia… dia macam in an aiport sebab dia pakai uniform kerja… oh, he’s calling to tell me he is flying somewhere lah tu…

Baiklah…

“Where are you flying to?” saya tanya, masih lagi sibuk dengan penampilan diri saya…

“Somewhere…” dia jawab, tegang juga tu tone?  “why are you smiling in the mirror like that?” itu pun mau tanya ka, Jason? Haihhh…. 🙄😒

“Somewhere?” saya tanya balik sebab ‘somewhere’ is not an answer to my question…

“Yeah somewhere…” ugh! Geram saya! he’s supposed to answer me the specific destination… bukan ‘somewhere’!

“okay…” saja saya bilang… wanna play the game kan, Jay…?

“OKAY…” TUT… HE HANG UP ON ME!

Terkejutnya saya! ngam-ngam lagi saya tengah spraying my curls…

“OUCH!” saya ter-spray mata saya gara-gara Jason! How dare you hang up on me, Jason… “ARGH!!”

“What are you screaming for, idiot?” Kelibat Hudson di pintu bilik saya…

“Nothing, just… my hair…” Saya jeling dia…

“Faster lah, I need to singgah Club HBI lagi ni…” Hudson sounded agitated…. 🙄

kenapa semua lelaki disekeliling saya sangat menggeramkan hati saya ah?

first daddy, tadi Jason, now Hudson...

ARGH!!!

CLUB BLJ

2 hours later, we are sitting at our special table set for us di depan stage… enjoying the music… the slow numbers by the band calmed my temper down a little…

Jaga kau, Jason… I won’t be answering your calls for another 2, 3 days… baru kau tau… 😠

Saya perhatikan this band... macam bukan the usual house band... this band di bayar khas untuk Hudson's birthday or is it another band from our other clubs? Hudson saja yang tau...

hurmm...

The live band suddenly stop performing… aik? It’s only 9pm…

Then saya dengar suara lain yang menyanyi to the music beat of 🎵Strip it Down🎵… tapi dari mana tu suara-suara?

Ada dua orang bah pula menyanyi… then the voices semakin dekat…

Ah, I see… the Robinsons… and Hudson joined in the fun… gete punya anak... 😏

“gete oh laki kau, Jem…” saya bisik di telinga Jemie…

“bukan saya tidak biasa… “ Jemie ketawa…

“siap lah kau ni malam, baby project lagi kamu ni, macam mau-mau sudah mabuk laki kau ni…” berhabis kami ketawa…

Then I looked up…
