PROLOGUE II

~ the love story untold ~

SYDNEY’S P.O.V

The same summer 11 years ago…

I was reading through my Law of Tort book for my exam when I heard a notification…

Saya unlock my handphone and looked at what’s the notification about…

IG.. a.k.a Instagram… ah, I just posted a picture of my coffee and my book.. macam tidak sampai 1 minit ada sudah like…

@LILIAEDISSON

Hmmm… you’ve been spamming my IG posts, girl… just because I’ve been in Aussie for few years sudah, tidak bermakna saya lupa kau siapa… saya tersenyum sendiri…

Sengaja saya tidak like any of her IG posts… biar dia sangka yang saya tidak sedar akan kewujudan dia… tapi sebenarnya, I’ve been taking screenshots of her pictures that she posted on IG…

Cantik. Bella’s bestfriend… 

I remembered when Bella form 1 dan saya form 5, masa tu saya sudah ada driving license… sayalah yang selalu ambil Bella from school, London and Holland sudah sambung studies overseas…

Chester was 15… kami sama-sama school pagi, so pergi dan balik dari school sama-sama… Bella saja yang sesi petang… and ada masanya saya akan kasi tumpang Lilia juga…

Lilia sangat jarang bercakap sama saya… kalau saya tanya dia satu soalan yang lebih dari 10 patah perkataan, dia jawab 1 patah perkataan saja… ataupun she’ll just blush and smile…

Fine. Saya mengaku at 17 I was already halfway to being an adult… but I had a crush on Lilia…

Jadi pokoknya saya sudah 3 tahun suka Lilia… now she’s 16… still too young…

It’s ok I can wait… I will graduate in another 2 ½ years… by then Lilia sudah 18… baru I’ll make my move… biarlah saya setia sama crush saya walau bertahun-tahun lamanya…

But studies, ambition and thirst to succeed membuatkan saya memungkiri janji saya sendiri…

I graduated from Queensland but moved to Sydney to pursue my law career… lebih 3 tahun saya mengejar cita-cita saya di Sydney… dan saya berjaya... being the youngest senior partner of a law firm that the firm's name was changed to Messrs Stanford & Robinson once I got promoted…

Sydney Robinson, a successful lawyer in Sydney, Australia… it was a success well earned… 😏

Then fate played the cards…

cukup dengan kejayaan dalam kerjaya, sekarang focus pada percintaan.. tsk tsk..

Takdir mempertemukan saya dan Lilia when I had to return to Malaysia when Bella was involved in an accident…

@Bella’s ward

“Lilia mau tanya kalau kau….” One of Bella’s friends bersuara tapi kena cover her mouth…
“sudah makan?” LILIA tanya….

Damn, my handphone berbunyi… HOLLAND is calling…

As I was about to leave to take the call, saya berhenti depan Lilia.. saya tunduk dan sengaja menyentuh bibir saya di telinga dia sambil saya bisik…
“zip up your pants sweetheart… I don’t want any doctors to see what is mine..”

Lantas dengan selambanya saya keluar and answered Holland’s call…

Dan dari situlah detik percintaan kami bermula…
