twisties 17

"Nah." Edz hulurkan BK Whooper Jr kat Maia. Dia orang tadi beli BK, take away, and here they are, kat entah mana. Somewhere high, of course. Can see the clear picture of the night view of the city. Its absolutely nice. Angin pun macam sepoi-sepoi bahasa. Hmm.

"You do not need to worry." Maia mulakan bicara. Break the ice between them.
"Huh?" Edz yang tengh khusyuk makan toleh tengok dia. Mukanya jelas terpancar whats-that-all-about?

"Hurmm." Maia terdiam sekejap. Lepastu dia geleng kepala. "Nothing." Dia sambung semula makan.

Edz letak burger tepi, ambil air, minum sikit. Tisu kat dalam paper bag dia capai, lap mulut. Kemudian, dia tengok Maia.

"Irhaz, isnt it?" Tanya Edz. Maia diam.
"Why?" Tanya Edz lagi. Maia toleh, angkat kening. Edz diam jer, tenung Maia lama. Maia tunduk. Edz yang tengok ada something kat bibir Maia, dia kesat jarinya, dan bersihkan sos yang tercomot itu. Maia tergamam.

"Im not worried." Edz bersuara lagi. Senyum. Maia toleh.
"Why?"
"What do you think of us?" Edz tanya lagi.
"What do you think?" Maia soal balik.
"Let say, kalau Iyaz datang balik. Explain the truth. Coz, I know he was absolutely not in his right mind when he did that"
"Im married." Jawapan ringkas Maia melegakan Edz.
"But, dont you love him?" Saja nak provoke.
"I was in love with him." Sengaja perkataan 'was' Maia ditekankan.
"Did I asked you to make me fall in love with you?"
"Haha. Selagi you tak get over your past, selagi tu, everything I do, tak kan ada kesan apa-apa,kan?"

Silence.

"Zairel, why did you ever agree to marry me that time?" Soalan Maia membuat Edz tersentak.
Keluhan panjang dilepaskan. Edz bangun. Dia berdiri membelakangkan Maia. "Im in love with you ever since I saw you for the very first time." Edz tak nak simpan lama-lama lagi. Its supposed to let it out. Long time ago.

Maia kaku. Maia terdiam. "I was with your boy." Edz pusing, tengok Maia. Dia senyum dan geleng kepala.
"Nope. Before you kenal Iyaz lagi." Edz jalan mendekati Maia. Dia duduk depan Maia. Maia muka pelik. Berkerut keningnya. Trying to figure out something.
