《[C] Putera Kayangan》Bab 3 : You Are Fired!
Advertisement
Dari kejauhan, aku dapat mendengar bunyi siren menghampiri. Pihak polis lari memasuki kedai bunga dan menangkap si penjenayah. Aku pun menelek ke dalam kedai.
Eh, mana lelaki hoodie merah tadi?
"Anayra Zaara!"
Aku menoleh. Encik Minghao! Aku terus berlari kepadanya dengan wajah cuak. Mulut aku tak berhenti bercerita apa yang terjadi dari awal hinggalah akhir.
"Saya tak nak dengar semua tu Nayra," ujarnya dengan wajah serius. Dia marah ke?
"Kenapa?"
"Kenapa awak tanya? Saya dah kata hari ni cutikan?!" nadanya mula meninggi.
"Maaf..." aku menundukkan kepala.
"Kalau awak tak bukak kedai ni, aku tak akan rugi besar macam ni tau tak?!"
Aku hanya diam. Apa yang aku tau, aku rasa nak nangis sekarang. Semua orang pandang aku. Malu sangat aku rasa sekarang ni.
"Dahlah Nayra. Awak tak payah kerja dekat kedai saya dah,"
Lantas aku mengangkat kepala memandang wajah serius Encik Minghao. Aku menggelengkan kepala.
"No encik... Please jangan pecat saya. Saya baru tau pasal cuti tu tadi, saya dah nak balik dah tadi tapi ..."
"I don't care Nayra. You are fired!" potong Encik Minghao.
Aku terkedu. Aku dipecat? Tapi ni bukan salah aku. Bukan aku yang nak kedai dia dipecah masuk dan aku sendiri pun tak rela nak ada dalam situasi tadi.
Aku hanya mampu melihat Encik Minghao pergi. Aku hanya berdiri kaku sementara yang lain beransur meninggalkan tempat itu.
Semua ni salah aku ke?
×××××
Aku mengambil keputusan untuk keluar mengambil angin malam. Tak sangka hari ni aku akan dipecat. Kejadian tadi masih aku tak dapat nak lupakan.
Kena rompak, siapa je boleh lupa dengan cepat?
Walaupun tak teruk, tapi masih aku terkesan tambah pulak haish... Aku tak nak ulang ayat tu.
Suasana kat Taman Titiwangsa ni aman sangat. Walaupun ada ramai juga orang yang bersiar-siar tapi tidaklah sampai terlalu sesak yang boleh buat rimas.

Aku duduk di bangku berhampiran setelah lama berjalan. Boleh tahan lenguh juga berjalan kat sini. Haish laparlah pula haish perut aku nilah.
"Lapar ke?" aku pandang ke tepi aku. Eh bila masa ada orang kat sebelah aku? Tapi, macam aku pernah jumpa je dia ni.
Dia tergelak. Mungkin sebab tengok muka aku yang tertanya-tanya ni. Macam mane dia tau aku lapar?
"Sapu sapu perut tu takkan bagi awak kenyang pun. Jomlah, kita makan," dia mula berdiri.
"Ehh, tak naklah.. tak apa," tolak aku.
"Alaa jom saya belanja," aku merenung mata dia. Ya Allah, cantiknya warna hazel dia. Eh, mata hazel? Lelaki ni lah tolong aku tadi!!
Pergelangan tangan aku diraihnya.
"Eh!"
Dia dah kenapa? main tarik je anak dara orang! Nak tak nak aku ikut. Tangan tu aku biar je.
Ceh, tak suka pun biar. Boleh tahan gatal juga aku ni.
Sampai kat kedai, kami pun duduk berhadapan. Dia membaca menu sambil tersenyum sementara aku memandangnya dengan muka yang tidak berpuas hati.
"Saya nak nasi goreng kampung dua, oh ya, teh o ais dua juga," pintarnya kepada sambil pelayan sambil mengeluarkan jari telunjuk dan jari hantunya. Ala ala peace.
Selesai mencatat pesanan, pelayan itu pun beredar meninggalkan kami berdua. Mata aku masih memandang jejaka dihadapanku ini. Dia turut berbuat sedemikian tetapi bezanya ada secalit senyuman dibibirnya.
"Nama awak siapa?"
Uuu, dia buat first move.
"Anayra," balasku sepatah.
"Ouh... Hi Anayra, saya Aydan," dia menghulurkan tangannya. Aku hanya merenung tangannya kosong. Faham dengan pandangan aku itu, dia menarik kembali tangan dia.
"Sorry,"
Anak mataku kini beralih memandang wajah tampannya. Tampan tak tampan, aku nak kena ceramah jugak!
"Kenapa awak suka hati je tarik tangan saya tadi?" mata aku dikecilkan sedikit memandangnya tajam. Dia pula macam kerang busuk tersengih pandang aku.
Pantang betul aku bila lelaki pegang tangan ni. Nasib baiklah dia ni berupa lah juga kan. Eh apa kau ni Nayra.

"Awak tau kan lelaki dengan perempuan tak boleh bersentuhan? Kita bukan ada hubungan persaudaraan," tambah ku lagi.
Aydan menundukkan kepalanya tetapi masih dapat aku lihat jelas wajah yang kacak dan bibirnya yang sedang mencebik. Jari telunjuk kanan dan kiri beberapa kali disatukan.
Cute!!
"Stop it! Dont do that!!"
Anak matanya memandang aku tetapi kepalanya masih tunduk dan bibirnya masih begitu.
Lantas aku mengalih pandangan aku dari bertentang mata dengan dia. Ya Allah, beratnya dugaan nak jual mahal. Aku tak mampu!
"Sorry~" ujarnya dengan nada slow. Nak mintak simpati lah tu. Kaki nak kaki?
"Lepas ni jangan buat lagi," pandangan aku masih dilemparkan ke arah lain.
"Okay!"
Suasana antara kami menjadi sunyi. Aku pun acah acah bela tudung nak kasi hilang rasa kekok. Dia pulak.......
Korek hidung ?!
Ya Allah mamat ni agak agaklah ni tempat awam kut!
Sedari yang aku dah pandang dia dengan muka yang jijik, terus dia berhenti dan lagak seperti biasa. Dia meminta diri untuk ke sinki.
Nasib baiklah reti nak basuh tangan.
Makanan pun sampai. Kami menjamu selera bersama sama tanpa sepatah kata.
"Ermm Anayra,"
Aku mengangkat kepala memansangnya dengan mulut yang masih mengunyah. Kening kanan aku dijongketkan.
"Esok awak kerja?"
Aku menggelengkan kepala, "tak"
"Kenapa?" suapannya terhenti mendengar jawapan aku tu.
"Boss berhenti kan saya.. by the way terima kasih sebab tolong saya tadi," ujar ku sambil tersenyum. Kalau dia tak ada tadi, entah apalah nasib aku. Tah tah kena jual ke Siam.
"Aik, bila saya tolong awak?"
Dia memandang aku dengan muka yang kerut seribu.
"Takkan awak tak ingat,"
Dia menggelengkan kepalanya. Ok, dia tak tipu yang dia tak ingat tu. Aku boleh nampak muka dia jujur. Tapi, takkan secepat tu dia dah lupa?
"Awak tadi berlawan dengan dua orang perompak tu. Awak tendang dorang. Fuh dah macam filem Hindustan!" ujarku dengan teruja.
Dia memandangku pelik. Namun beberapa saat dia mula menganggukkan kepala dan tersenyum. Mungkin dia dah ingat. Aku pun tersenyum sekali.
"Awak kena berhenti kerja sebab kedai tu kena pecah masuk lah?"
Aku mengangguk kepala sebagai jawapan. Dia diam, aku pun diam. Jadi aku memilih untuk sambung makan jelah.
"Jadi sekarang awak memang tak ada kerja lah?"
Lagi sekali, aku mengangguk.
"Dah ada rancangan nak kerja dekat mana mana ke?"
Aku jeda. Lalu aku menggelengkan kepala
"Tak ada,"
"Kerja dengan saya"
Aku pandang dia dengan muka tak percaya. Kerja dengan dia?
"Kerja apa?"
"Simple je perkerjaan dia,"
"Pedo'oh lah,"
Dia pandang aku dengan muka kerut seribu lagi.
"Pedo'oh? Apa tu?"
"Tipuu"
"Haish.. mane ada tipu!" dia cemberut. Tak suka aku kata dia tipulah tu. Manelah ade kerja yang senang dalam dunia ni, semua susah susah.
"Kerja ni betul betul simple.. just stay at home," ternaik kening aku.
"Are you serious?" Aku memandang wajahnya lama untuk mencari kepastian. Kalau betul just stay at home tu, mestilah aku nak!
Aydan tersenyum memandang aku yang juga sedang memandang dia. Sukalah tu dapat bereye contact dengan aku.
Tiba tiba dia tersenyum nakal. Terus meremang satu badan aku tengok gigi dia yang berkilat tu. Putihnya gigi dia. Insecure aku.
"Serious"
"Kerja apaa?"
"Jaga makan minum saya"
Jaga makan minum dia? Wait, jangan kata yang....
"Jadi wife saya"
"Ha?!!"

A coming-of-rage urban fantasy novella centering on the mental health journey of Arthur Silva. It follows his struggles with self-worth, and his interpersonal relationships between his family, friends, coworkers and partners. This novella is in it's first draft so if it's a bit rough around the edges that's why. I just want to get some feedback on it as well as what's working.Each chapter can be very stylistically different from each other as a means of separating the different months that each chapter takes place to better put the reader into the headspace of Arthur.
