Fragile 16

Separuh nafas Are menjerit.Handset di tangan terasa bagai nak tercampak terus.Oh man!Mata sekeliling yang memandang langsung tidak dipedulikan.Biarlah orang lain nak kata apa.But now..!

“Drop dead serious Along?”Bersungguh Are bertanya.

“Language.” Zeyq menyakat. “Sungguhlah.Takkan nak tipu pulak.Mana pernah Along tipu.”

Are buat muka. “My Along..” Are sengih. “Baby boy ke baby girl?”

“Lorh.Kak Edi tu baru je masuk 2 bulan pregnant.Mana la pikir lagi bab scanning ni.” Kut Edi tu iron lady lain la kut jadinya.

“Hailoh..Waiting for the moment la Along.Can’t wait to see your anak calling me ‘mak su’ .” Are mengeluh.

Zeyq turut mengeluh di sebelah talian. “Sama.Can’t wait to see you calling your right guy ‘hubby’.”

“Shut up!”

“Aizat Rahman.” Senyum.

“Amera.” Senyum. “How’s the conference?”

Jet masih menarik senyum. “Going smoothly.We’re glad to have your company as our partner.”

Wan turut senyum. “Wondering if you’re a part of the next conference.”

Are geleng. “I guess I’m not.Just accompanying you two for today.” Are sekadar senyum. “Ready for the next floor?”

“Sure.” Jet angguk mengikutinya dari belakang.

Are mengetap bibir.Macam mana dia boleh tersempit antara dua orang ni.Tak.Antara dia dengan Jet.Yang dia tahu.DIa hanya ganti tempat Alia yang ambil emergency leave.Apa kait dia sebagai accountant dengan dua orang ni?Fated.

Jet menarik nafas. “Office hour kat sini habis pukul..”

“For your information,our company gonna have another new franchise” Pantas Are memintas.

Wan menangguk. “3 hari conference memang bikin lidah I berbelit duh.”

Are dan Jet ketawa.Mana tak nya.Speaking dari entrance sampai la ke gents.

“Jet.Kau tanya apa tadi?” Wan memandang Jet di sebelah.

Jet kelam. “Aa..Office hour..”

“Take a lift?”

Tiga kepala serentak memandang staff di dalam lif yang baru bersuara tadi.

“Sure.”

“I heard that company ni ada so called relationship dengan company kat Singapore.Am I right?” Wan berpaling dari risalah di tangan.

Are angguk. “As we already briefed to you.”

“So Are.What do you expect from our company?” Jet mencapai risalah yang dihulurkan.

“Huh?” Are berkerut dahi.

“Are who?” Wan riak hairan.

Jet sepi seketika.Aku salah panggil nick Are! “Err..Next room?Shall we?”

“Nice to meet you lady.” Wan senyum.

“Thank you.Back to you.Hope to see you two again.” Are bertutur ikut protocol.

Wan menarik handset dari saku. “Can I get your phone number?”

Are mengangkat kening. “In a manner of..?”

“Partner.” Jet menyambung.

Are berfikir sejenak.Kau wakil company.Ni projek bukan mak bapak kau punya.Come on Are.Jangan ruin benda ni.You can do it.. “I take that as yes.”
