《[C] Putera Kayangan》Bab 24 : Dynasty Court Hotel
Advertisement
Aku tergamam, tersekima, terkedu. Betul ke apa aku tengok ni?
Presiden baru Dynasty Court Hotel ini berjalan melintasi aku mengikut laluan red carpet untuk ke pentas bersaiz sederhana dalam dewan ini. Presiden tu sempat tersentuh melihat aku.
Mungkin sebab aku seolah-olah macam kene kejutan elektrik sekarang ni.
Tiba sahaja presiden di atas pentas, dia memberikan isyarat tangan untuk duduk. Aku masih kaku. Aku rasa macam seluruh badan aku tak boleh nak gerak. Huda tarik aku untuk duduk.
"terima kasih atas ucapan semua. Terima kasih kerana hadir ke ulang tahun ke 27 tahun saya. seperti yang sedia maklum, saya Amirruddin Hanim bin Yusof selaku presiden baru Dynasty Court Hotel. Panggil saja saya Amir." Amir tersenyum manis di atas pentas.
Dipandang semua tetamu yang datang dan akhirnya sepasang mata kokonya memandang aku. Amir tersenyum penuh makna.
Aku dah macam cacing kepanasan sekarang ni. Kenapa dia senyum macam tu? Dia ada niat nak saman aku ke? Rasanya selama ni aku tak ada kutuk dia setiap kali jumpa kat cafe. Kan?
Amir pandang Aydin, Aydin pandang Amir. Eeee... dorang ni semacam je. Ke dorang ada rancangan nak kena kan aku?
Selesai ucapan dari Amir, kami semua menyambung semula kerja yang tertangguh tadi. Makanan malam.
"Wey Maya... Dengar cerita abang kau beli 10 buah Range Rover. Betul ke?"
Aku hampir tercekik chicken chop bila dengar pertanyaan Huda. Nasib baik tak teruk. Mahunya arwah aku hari ni.
But, Amir beli 10 buah Range Rover? Dia tercabar dengan ayat aku dulu tu ke?
"Haah," jawab Maya ringkas
"Siot! Aku taulah dia kaya! Tapi perlu ke sampai borong 10?" tanya Huda sambil mengunyah steak daging.
"Entahlah dia tu. Hari tu dia cerita, dia try lah mengorat sorang perempuan ni. Tapi perempuan tu tolak. Kau nak tau perempuan tu cakap apa?" Maya memandang ke Huda disebelahnya.
Air liur aku terasa kesat sangat nak telan sekarang ni. Sedaya upaya aku cuba untuk lindung rasa malu dan bersalah aku.
"Apa? apa?" tanya Huda dengan nada teruja.

"Dia cakap..."
"I don't want be in a relationship, I want to be in a Range Rover," pintas Aydin.
Kami bertiga menoleh ke arah Aydin. Muka mereka berdua jelas menunjukkan yang mereka sedang terkejut. Aku pula pandang Aydin dengan perasan yang bercampur baur. Aku rasa nak nangis, nak marah dan nak gigit Aydin dekat sebelah aku ni. Tapi aku cover, acah macam aku terkejut juga.
"Macam mana kau tau, Ayan?"
Aydin hanya tersenyum. Dia memandang aku sekilas. Dia menggeleng kecil lalu tersenyum menahan tawanya dari terhambur.
"Aku ada dekat situ. Perempuan tu serbu masuk kereta aku. Aku pula time tu kebetulan juga berhenti tepi jalan sebab nak angkat panggilan telefon. Terkejut beruk aku tiba-tiba ada 'perempuan gila' naik kereta aku," jelas Aydin
Ouh... Perempuan gila kau kata aku? Eee... Ada yang balik rumah dalam keadaan kepala terpisah dari badan. Jus oren dicapai dan ditenguk. Bagi sejuk sikit hati aku ni.
"Uish, siotlah! Cantik tak perempuan tu?"
Aydin tersenyum sinis, "tak langsung"
Aku yang tengah minum ni hampir tersembur plus hampir tersedak.
Tak langsung kau kata aku Aydin?!
"Kau ni Ayan. Memang tak reti nak tipu sunat kan?" Maya dan Huda gelak sakan dengar kata-kata Aydin.
Aydin hanya senyum. Aku pula menunduk. Sampai hati dia kata aku tak lawa.
"Kau kenapa cemberut tiba-tiba," Aydin, Maya dan Huda pandang ke arah aku. Aku menggelengkan kepala.
"Mood tak okay eh? Mesti tengah bendera merah,"
Aku mengiyakan.
"Bendera merah? Apa tu?" Aydin terkebil-kebil.
"Rahsia perempuan... Bwerk" serentak Huda dan Maya sambil jelirkan lidah.
Aydin cemberut.
"Oh tapi kan. Mesti perempuan tu mata duitan kan? Boleh dia cakap macam tu dekat abang kau Maya,"
"Itulah tu. Kalau I jumpa dia. I nak pukul dia sampai lunyai. You semua nak tahu Huda, Nayra, Ayan? Ah, nak tak nak kene tahu jugak. Abang I tu menangis nangis tau masa cerita dekat I. Kesian I dengan dia plus menyampah nak layan perangai cengeng dia tu. at last dia beli 10 Range Rover. Biar terkeluar biji mata perempuan tu tengok nanti. Huh! Puas hati ni. Time tu I akan hasut abang I jangan terima perempuan tu kalau dia datang semula," siap membebel, Maya pun meneguk segelas jun oren.

Aku diam je. Malas nak bagi riaksi apa apa.
"Tapikan Maya. Kalau aku jadi perempuan tu pun, aku akan buat macam tu jugak,"
Lantas aku menoleh ke arah Aydin. Kalau awak jadi saya, awak akan buat macam tu jugak?
Muka Maya dan Huda dah berkerut seribu, tak faham. Kenapa nak buat benda yang sama pula? Aydin senyum ke arah aku seketika sebelum menyambung kata-katanya.
"Abang kau main pegang je tangan perempuan tu. Lepas tu memaksa. Abang kau tu dahlah jenis tak faham bahasa. Memang marahlah perempuan tu. So, memang patut perempuan tu buat abang kau macam tu," Aydin menyambung makan chicken chop dia yang tersisa.
Huda dan Maya mengangguk faham dan bersetuju. Akhirnya mereka faham penyebab aku buat begitu. Aku pula tersenyum dalam diam sambil memandang muka bersahaja Aydin.
Terima kasih sebab faham saya.

"Jom! Kita pergi jumpa owner hotel ni. Kau nak sangat bergambar, tegur , borak dengan dia kan? Cepat alang alang Amir tu duduk jauh dari orang,"
"No, tak nak! Jom lah balik. Ramai dah balik tu,"
Aydin cekak pinggang, "takde, takde.. sini!".
Hujung lengan baju aku ditarik oleh ke suatu tempat yang agak sunyi tiada orang di tingkat bawah ni. Ikutkan, aku nak balik je terus. Budak budak Aydin tadi pun dah menunggu tadi. Termanggu dorang tengok Aydin tiba tiba tarik lengan baju aku bawa ke belakang hotel.
Sampai dibelakang hotel tu. Aku tergamam. Ada tempat lapang yang luas sangat! Di sebelah kiri ada tempat yang agak tertutup dan dalam tu ada kolam renang. Kanan ada futsal dan ada juga gelanggang badminton. Pokok pokok bunga lagi, ada juga taman permainan untuk kanak-kanak. Punyalah luas tempat ni. Walaupun simple dan agak padat. Tapi tetap cantik. Ditambah pula dengan lampu yang menerangi taman ni.
"Eh Ayan. Bila masa kau ada dekat sini?"
Aku pandang pemilik suara yang bertanya tadi. Siapa lagi kalau bukan Amir?
Amir pandang Aydin seterusnya memandang ke arah aku. Dia tersenyum ikhlas. Aku pun membalas senyuman itu.
"Baru lagi. Tadi, ada orang tu kata nak bergambar dengan kau," mata Aydin dikerling ke wajah aku sambil tersenyum sinis sampai nampak gigi dia yang tersusun cantik dan bersinar tu.
"Siapa? Kau ke? Tak naklah aku!"
"Bukan aku lah hanat! Aku pun tak hingin nak bergambar dengan kau,"
"Dah tu? Nayra?"
Aydin mengangguk. Amir tayang muka tak percaya. Aku hanya berdiri tegak dengan senyuman dibibir. Tak kan nak tunjuk yang aku tak rela? Kesian juga dekat Amir ni nanti. Yang paling penting, aku tak mahu kena lunyai dengan Maya kalau dia tau aku tak layan abang dia elok elok.
Tanpa buang masa, Aydin jadi photographer kami. Aku tak sangka Amir ni pandai bergaya. Mesti selalu pergi shooting kan? Anak orang kaya lah katakan.
"Amir, kenapa awak beli 10 Range Rover?"
Amir pandang aku dengan muka terkejut, "mana awak tau?"
"Maya dengan Huda,"
"Cis, budak dua ekor tu. Tak boleh simpan rahsia betul,"
"Alah kau... Stalker ada dekat mana je. Kalau kau tak bagitahu pun. Orang tau jugak! 10 Range Rover. Gila ke apa?"
Amir tersengih.
Usai bergambar, Amir hantar kami berdua ke pintu keluar. Nampaknya semua tetamu tadi dah balik. Tinggal beberapa orang yang sedang lepak di cafe hotel ni. Tidur sini agaknya.
Rancak saja aku dan Amir berbual. Yelah, biasanya dia akan datang ke cafe. Tapi dah dua minggu dia tak datang dan sekarang aku tau puncanya. Mesti banyak benda nak kena buat untuk jayakan event ni.
Sesekali, Aydin batuk-batuk. Aku pelik juga, dia ni tercekik chicken chop tadi ke? Air tak ada pula aku nak bagi dekat Aydin ni. Amir pula akan tersenyum sinis tiap kali Aydin tu batuk.
Dorang ni kenapa?
