Muhammad Ayden; the untold stories.
"Duduk."
Tak sempat si anak nak bagi salam, dia dah terlebih dahulu mengarah. Tajam mata Datin Nora memandang anaknya. Nabila Hannan, anak bongsu dia dan suami, Dato' Haiqal.
Bella angguk. Kaki dipasang ke ruang tamu dan duduk di sofa yang bertentangan dengan ibunya. "Mum sihat?"
Dua bulan tak bersua muka, tak bertanya khabar. Sekurang - kurangnya nak juga tahu mak yang melahirkan dia ni sihat ataupun tak.
Datin Nora duduk menyilang kaki. "Tak. I pening kepala ada anak keras kepala macam you. Now, I nak you dengar arahan I." Suka mengarah, itu lah Datin Nora.
Tapi Bella dah biasa dengan cara ibunya yang suka memaksa dan ikut kepala sendiri. Dia kekalkan wajah tenang. "Kan Bella dah kata, Bella nak jadi photographer. Mum please respect my decision."
Dahi Datin Nora berkerut. Di antara tiga orang anak perempuan dia, Bella yang paling keras kepala sekali. Dari kecil, suka bantah apa yang dia arahkan. "I kena respect you? Bella, jadi jurugambar tu tak jamin you akan berjaya!"
Bahu Bella jatuh. Susah lah cakap dengan orang yang suka pandang rendah ni. "Mum, you should at least give me support. Bella akan tunjuk yang Bella boleh berjaya dalam bidang ni-"
"No!" Tubuh Datin Nora tegak berdiri. Majalah fesyen yang dipegang tadi dia lempar ke atas meja. "Apa I nak jawab dengan kawan I bila diorang tahu anak I photographer je? Useless!"
Useless.
Perkataan tersebut tersemat dalam minda Bella. Segaris senyuman diukir dalam pahit. "Mum lebih pentingkan apa yang orang kata?" Perlahan kerana terkilan.
Bukannya tak kenal mak sendiri. Tapi sepuluh kali Datin Nora begitu, sepuluh kali dia terasa hati. Ibu bapa fikir anak ni apa? Tabung uji kaji? Bahan eksperimen?
"I tak kira, Nabila! I akan hantar you as pengurus dekat cawangan hotel kita yang baru buka tahun lepas tu. I tak terima jawapan tidak. Kalau tak I ambil kereta, rumah dan semuanya! Merempat lah you tepi jalan!"

Kaki melangkah naik ke tingkat atas. Bagi dia, apa yang dia lakukan tu ada baiknya untuk Bella. Dia bukan buat untuk kepentingan diri sendiri sahaja.
Cuma anak - anak yang tak nampak kenapa dia buat semua keputusan ni. Dia yang lahirkan anak - anak dia, dia berhak tentukan arah tuju kehidupan mereka.
Bella yang di ruang tamu, melepaskan keluhan. Atas alasan apa lagi dia harus bertahan dengan perangai mak dia yang suka memaksa ni?
Sebab syurga dia?
Sebab ibu yang lahirkan dia? Bella tak minta pun diri dia dilahirkan. Elok digugurkan sahaja masa Bella dalam kandungan. Dia pun tak hamak sangat nak menghadap dunia.
Baru nak bangun dan keluar dari rumah itu, telefon Bella berdering.
Kak Nani.
"Adik, dekat rumah ke tu?"
Bella berdeham sebelum menjawab. "Hmm rumah mum. Kenapa?" Tak pernah kakak kedua dia tu rajin nak telefon.
"Dah tahu kenapa mum suruh balik?"
"Dah," Bella menjawab.
"Stay strong. I love you. Tahu cringe but in case kau perlukan ke? Oh ya, jangan lupa jumpa dad dekat office. Jom dinner sama."
"Ya."
Hanya itu yang Bella balas sebelum tamatkan panggilan. Tak apa lah kalau dia tertekan pun. Setidaknya ada dad dan dua kakak yang masih ambil berat.
Kut?
Remaja lapan belas tahun itu duduk bersila sebelah jenazah ayahnya. Lama dia merenung wajah ayah yang dah memejam mata dan tak akan sedar lagi.
Tuhan sahaja tahu betapa peritnya yang dirasa.
Nenek dan atuk dia turut meninggal di dalam kemalangan itu. Nenek dan atuk yang dah terlalu tua tu cedera parah jadi ahli keluarga tak bawa balik ke rumah. Dah selamat dikebumikan.
Zahirah mendekati anak saudaranya. Bimbang melihat keadaan Ayden. Emosi anak saudaranya pasti tak menentu.
Ya lah, tak semua orang kuat nak hadapi berita mengejut begini. Tambahan pula Ayden hanya ada Adrian sahaja. Ibu dia dah meninggal masa dia tujuh tahun.

"Ayden, jom beralih? Kita nak solat jenazah, Ayden nak jadi imam ke?" Mana tahu. Ayden satu - satunya anak lelaki arwah. Barangkali nak berjasa buat kali ini.
Namun, Ayden gelengkan kepala. Dia bangun dari bersila. "Ayden tak nak tengok ayah kebumi. Ayden nak balik rumah grandpa."
Bahu Zahirah jatuh. Dia pun turut berasa sebak melihat keadaan Ayden yang nampak seperti kehilangan arah beberapa hari ini. "Jangan macam ni, Ayden. Tengok ayah buat-"
"Ayden tak nak. Maksu jangan paksa Ayden boleh? Ayden nak balik rumah dengan grandpa." Matanya tajam menatap wajah Zahirah.
Belum sempat dia menapak ke dalam bilik untuk ambil bagasi, telinga Ayden menangkap suara - suara halus yang berbisik.
"Tak ke rasa macam budak tu bawa bala? Nenek, atuk dan ayah dia mati masa hari lahir dia."
"Kan? Baik tak payah lahir je macam tu."
"Ya weh, aku dengar dia tu manja, kuat memberontak. Hari tu jiran nenek dia dengar dia jerit dekat nenek dia. Kurang ajar!"
"Memang patut budak bawa bala tu tinggal seorang!"
"Haah, biar atuk cina dia tu jaga! Budak tu kena bawa jauh - jauh, takut anak orang lain terkenan. Kecik - kecik ayah hilang, lepas tu mak mati, ayah nenek atuk pulak mati. Haih, mengerikan!"
Kaki Ayden terus menapak masuk ke dalam bilik. Pintu dihempas kasar. "Argh! Bodoh! Bodoh!" Tubuh Ayden melorot jatuh ke lantai.
Air mata mengalir lagi. Membayangkan wajah insan - insan yang pergi meninggalkan dia di dunia itu sendiri.
Kenapa? Tak layakkah Ayden rasa bahagia walau seketika?
Rambutnya diramas kuat. Mungkin benar kata mereka semua, dia hanya pembawa bala sejak lahir. Ditinggalkan ayah sejak lahir dan—
Ayden memejam mata. Tak sanggup nak sebut satu - satu yang berlaku dalam hidup dia. Rasa kosong, rasa tak berguna. Ayden ni tak patut hidup. Tak patut dilahirkan bukan?
"Anak tak guna! Pengebumian bapak dia tak pergi!"
"Dia gila!"
"Dasar budak pembawa malang!"
"Argh!"
Matanya tercelik. Tubuhnya bangkit dari pembaringan dengan nafas yang tercungap - cungap. Ya Tuhan, kenapa dia sering mimpi begini?
Tak boleh ke dia nak lupakan semua tu? Kenapa Tuhan bagi dia ingat balik semua kelukaan itu?
Ayden meramas rambutnya. Kaki diturunkan dari katil dan jam di tepi katil dia jeling sekilas. Tiga pagi.
Entah kenapa, mata terpandang sejadah yang elok terlipat dekat atas lantai. Walaupun dia bukannya islamik sangat, dia tak ada lah tinggal solat terus.
Ibu, ayah, dan semua ahli keluarga dah cukup beri pendidikan. Benda lain Ayden boleh buat main, tapi solat tak. Sebab dengan solat, dia rasa bebanan dia kurang.
Meskipun ada masa dia tertanya kenapa Tuhan seksa dia begini. Ayden tak tinggalkan solat. Salah satu sebabnya—
Dia nak tengok sejauh mana Tuhan sayangkan dia. Jika dia terus solat, Tuhan akan hilangkan rasa sakitnya bukan?
Kaki melangkah ke tandas. Saat air wudhuk membasahi muka, Ayden dapat rasa keresahan dan sedih sebab mimpi tadi hilang.
maaf la lambat bethol heroin nak jumpa hero 😔
love,
