"Shira, please,"
"Huh?"
Aku melihat. Lah, perempuan ni berkhayal ke ape? Tsk. Dia melihat aku, muka cuak. Pft, mintak tolong lah tu. Lalu aku mengangkat buku tu, seraya mengoncang-goncangkan, dan membuka muka surat itu, dan menulis sebesar2 alam muka surat yang diminta untuk dibaca.
Dia tertunduk2, tanda terima kasih. Tau pun.
"The Lake Isle of Innisfree, ohhh."
"Yes Shira, if you please."
"Yes, teacher."
"I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin built there, of clay and wattlesmade;
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comesdropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet's wings.
I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart's core."
"Wuahhhhh!!" Semua orang clapping their hand, in exclamation. Mane tak nye, perempuan idaman diorang reciting poem, dengan lenggok bahasa dia yang well, aku rasa memang native dia kot. Hey, takkan la sampai bagi standing ovation, melampau betul! Sorang, sorang, sorang. Aku je yang duduk? Sigh, biaq betoi.
"Wow, guess their choice is right, you are good!"
"Thanks teacher, but I think I'm not that good, really"
What the hell, merendah diri pulak. Cakap orang hipokrit, dia tu lagilah! Bermuka muka! Dengan aku bukan main sial kan, tapi dengan orang lain, lemah lembuuuutttt je. Pijak semut pun semut boleh sound dia balik, dia takkan marah. Dengan aku, huh! Siap tendang tendang lagi. Ape ni, kalau bukan diskriminasi, ini lah bukti hipokrasi bertaraf Oscar!
KRINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Ah annoying! Dah la loceng betul2 sebelah kelas aku, memang annoying. Tanda habis sudah waktu kelas. Balik lah. Masa nak berehat. Harini takdak tusyen horay! Tapi, takleh lepak Mom's cafe lah macam ni. Rindu croissant dia lahh. Oh, dengan kek vanilla dia, superb!
Pelahan aku melangkah ke arah basikal aku,
"Hey, did you see, how AWESOME I was tadi? "
"Yelah, AWESSSOMMME lah sangat, kalau I never show you the book, the page, your image will be ruined!"
"Haih you ungkit like a girl, man up la sikit!"
"Hey, tadi siapa yang cakap pasal hipokrit, it was you!"
"Huh, biarlah. I'm not being hypocrite.. "
"Then what was it? Huh? Acting?"
"I dunno. I tend to make them believe that I'm like that. I was never like this before, especially in front of my friends. Only one of them knew what I was like.." Ohhh, dah ada boyfriend rupanya perempuan ni. Isk isk isk, sian kau Halimmm.
"So now you think that I'm weak, so that's why you're acting like this, showing your true colour huh? You think you can bully me la like this huhh?" Aku provoke sikit, even aku tau dia selesa dengan aku, tu pasal la dia macam tu.
"So what?! You look weak"
"PFT!"
"Oh, oh, do you know, what was the meaning behind that poem just now?"
"I know, of course. You can find it anywhere inside the rujukan. Stupid."
"Oh really? Then tell me what was it about"
"The author is homesick, he's from Northern Ireland or something, while he's writing that poem he's in London, so he wrote about his hometown la kiranya"
"Wow!" Haha, aku bangga jap. Tau pun, wey, aku ni well informed orangnya!
"That is not what I meant." Hahhh?
"Habis tu apa dia la?" Aku dah tertanya-tanya. Shit. Aku tak boleh doe macam ni. Curiosity aku sangaaatt tinggi. Kalau tak tau aku tak leh tido memalam. Naya weyh!
"Hah tu la, next time dengar dulu"
"Yeats, he desperately wanted to escape from the city London, yes it's true he's from Ireland, so even from the far, he can hear the sound of bee buzzing, and dripping sound and other nature sound, isn't that awesome?"
"Yeah, memang. " Apa bestnya, imagine benda yang tak dapat, yang bukan realiti pun? Tu macam angan-angan mat jenin je. Karut, baik fokus dekat benda yang nyata. Yang depan mata, yang betul. Instead of imagination.
"Okay okay, do you know yang actually it was really based on true experience?"
"I told you before"
"No you didn't. Anyway do you know that it was from an island yang nama dia Heather Island?"
"Oh really.."
"And do you know it was amazingly beautiful?"
"Oh, tak tau pulak.."
"Hey, it's interesting lah! Jangan buat tak layan pulak!"
"Yelah, yelah.."
"Hey, "
"I have a name lah dammit"
"Oh your name is dammit now huh?"
"WHAT THE FUCK, MY NAME IS IRFAN LA NGOK"
"Ooops, ada orang maraahh"
"You memang cari pasal kan? Besok you're going to school alone"
"Alalala, jangan majukkk. Macam budak budak! Pft"
".." Aku diam. Ah! Macam budak budak? Lagi? Bosan weh aku dengar ayat tu, dari dulu sampai sekarang!
"So anyway,"
"...."
"Irfan,"
"Yes?" serta merta aku jawab. Dia mencebikkan bibir dia. Aku hampir tergelak.
"Jom, teman me for a while sat lagi?"
"Huh, pergi mana?"
"Go pickup some item at my old house. Mama said that you'll be a gooooood help if you're there" Ish, ni yang aku lemah ni, orang tua mintak tolong aku, lagi lagi perempuan.
Terbayang muka aunty tu. Adeh, susah nak turned down ni, kesian. Haih, accept jela.
HABIS LAH MASA AKU TIDOR WEHHH
