13 JAM A380 – Bab 28
Haydar.
Aku menarik nafas yang bagai
tersekat. Yup, it is him. I am pretty sure. Mata aku melekat pada wajahnya. Seraut
wajah yang tidak mungkin akan pernah aku lupakan. My
4 hours ex-boyfriend. Why it has to be him? After all this while and all out of
the places I’ve been. Why on earth, I have to meet him here and at this point
of time?
Kami
bertentang mata.
1 saat.
3 saat. 15 saat.
The feeling is still there. At-least for me. Itu yang lebih merunsingkan aku,
perasaan aku terhadap Haydar. Tidak berubah. Its’
hurt even deeper the moment our eyes met. Why is that so? Aku sendiri tidak mampu
menidakkan rasa rindu yang hadir. Hati yang berdebar tadi makin hebat getarnya.
“It
is you.” Noktah. Aku tidak mampu untuk berkata lebih dari itu.
Dia
tersenyum. Masih seperti dulu.
I MISS YOU! How I wish I could say that straight to
his face. But I don’t have the guts. Pandangan matanya yang sayu, brings
me back to the moment we shared together. All his words keep lingers.
Tiba-tiba
aku rasa bagai hendak menangis. I know I’ve been
waiting for this moment. I know I miss him dearly. I know. Oh yes, pathetic
Hana. Pathetic me.
“Uncle,
this is my mommy.” Suara si kecil segera menyedarkan aku. Rasa kekok dan janggal itu
masih belum hilang sepenuhnya.
Kening
Haydar terjungkit dengan segaris senyuman tersungging di bibirnya. “You
are still as beautiful as I remembered.”
Jadi, Hana
Sofea masih belum luput dari ingatan? Benarkah begitu?
“So, mommy ha? That fast?” Dia menghela nafas pendek.
Aku
sekadar menjungkit bahu. Mengiya tidak, menidakkan juga tidak. Aku biar dia
fikir apa yang dia mahu. Aku pandang wajah Emmel yang sedang menyanyi-nyanyi
kecil. Menghayun tangan sambil melompat anak di sebelahku.
“Thanks
for bringing her back.” Ucapku pada Haydar serta-merta.
Haydar
mengangguk sebelum dia berlutut memanggil Emmel. “Come
here, sweety. How old are you?”
Si
kecil segera mendapatkan Haydar. Jari- jemarinya diangkat sambil mengira. “One, two, three,
four.. I am four years old, Uncle.”
“Mommy,
can we invite Uncle to join us for dinner?” Emmel memandangku sebelum
beralih semula pada Haydar. “Uncle, come join us for
dinner.”
Haydar
segera mendongak menatap wajahku. Aku teguk air liur. Kelat.
“Mommy, boleh tak Uncle
join us for dinner? Please, mommy.”
Aku menarik
nafas. Bagaimana Emmel boleh jadi selesa begitu dengan Haydar? Si kecil sudah
memegang lenganku bila Haydar bangun dan berdiri di hadapanku.
“Mommy?” sekali lagi Emmel mendesak.
Wajah
Haydar looked one kind. Tak tahu bagaimana hendak aku
tafsirkan. Matanya seperti mahu menyatakan sesuatu. Like,
please..
“Ok,
my little daisy.” Akhirnya. Sempat lagi aku menangkap senyuman yang terlakar di bibir
Haydar.
***
Kami duduk bertentangan dalam
sebuah restoran berdekatan.
“What’s
her name?” Dia menyapu bersih wajahku.
Aku
pandang Emmel yang duduk di sebelah Haydar.
“Emmel.”
Jawabku pendek.
“She
certainly not yours right? She doesn’t resemble you.” Separuh berbisik Haydar
bersuara.
Aku
angkat tangan. Talking about sixth sense, Encik Haydar.
“Studying
and part-time babysitting?”
Aku
tidak terkata apa. Biarlah dia berteka-teki sendiri.
“Hana,
you know how hectic my life can be? I am missing a part of my life here. I know
this might sound crazy.. but can you be my cocaine again?”
Nafasku
tersekat lagi. Am I only will be his cocaine? Matanya yang sayu itu kelihatan
sangat-sangat berharap.
“I needed that badly. A quick runaway, before I’m
back to the so called frantic life of mine again?” halkumnya bergerak-gerak.
Aku
masih terkesima dengan permintaan itu.
“Me,
you and Emmel. Just like a happy family I can
never have?” syahdu suara Haydar.
Air
mata aku hampir mengalir. Argh! Syed Haydar. I
can never push you, never. “One hour. You, me and Emmel.” A
happy Haydar would be a happy me too.
Telefon bimbit berbunyi. Whatsapp dari Fawwaz. Hana, my
meeting will be extended for few hours. Lepas berfikir dua tiga kali..
“Ok.
Let’s go. Let make this more memorable than ever.” Aku mencapai tangan Emmel,
Haydar melakukan yang sama. Aku pandang Haydar. Dia pandang aku. Emmel pandang
wajah kami silih berganti.
“We
are we going mommy?”
Aku
senyum. Haydar senyum sama dan kami bersuara serentak. “To
the nearest playground.”
“Ada
lagi ke playground buka malam-malam ni?” aku
bertanya.
“Kalau
tak ada, we make one of it open for us.”
***
Emmel dah tidur kat pangkuan
Haydar. They look sweet together. Snap. Aku ambil buat kenangan.
Ada
kurang sejam lagi sebelum Haydar beredar. Meninggalkan aku buat kali yang
ketiga. Aku bergerak duduk di sisi Haydar, dengan niat mengalihkan Emmel.
“Shhss…let
me do it. I don’t want to wake her up.” Haydar bersuara sebelum mengalihkan Emmel ke
pangkuan aku.
Dia
mengeluarkan telefon bimbit miliknya. Snap. Pantas dia merakam gambar kami
bertiga.
“Thanks Hana,” tulus ucapan Haydar. “I
don’t want this to be the end.”
Ya, but
you have great responsibility. Larger than your own privacy, greater than mine
for sure.
“I
wish I have more time…”
Make that time, Haydar. Aku ingin sekali berkata
begitu. Tapi… You know the drill, Hana. How
his life works. Bolehkah dia dipersalahkan kerana kehidupannya seperti itu?
I wish I can runaway with you. If only, he can read
my mind. Crazy Hana can make that possible? Probably, but it’s hard now when I
have new obligation that sealed with a promise to Fawwaz
too. Sigh!
“Haydar.”
Satu suara menyapa.
“Fawwaz.”
Mereka
berbalas pandang antara satu sama lain. Aku? I am caught there in between the two of them. I was like? Owh? They know
each other? How? When? Where?? Like a rival or sort of close-friend?
p/s: hope u olls like it. ** blink.
