Hannah was just randomly scrolling her tiktok. Nothing excites her that could make her forget the complex feeling in her heart.

Jamal: Hannah...

Hannah's eyes widened at the sight of him.

Jamal: Hannah, I miss you.

He pulled her hand closer to him and embraced her into his arms. She quickly pulled her body away.

Hannah: Haram..

Jamal: Oh sorry, tak sengaja

Hannah (pov): bukan tak sengaja sebab dah biasa pegang perempuan ish! Ya Allah apesal jumpa dia kat sini pula.

Harris who came back from the washroom stopped halfway, witnessing them.

Harris: Sabar.. Harris...

He clenched his fist tight.

Jamal didn't say anything but his eyes fixed into her eyes.

Jamal: Those eyes, I miss it the most.
It comforts me. Hannah.. I wish we could...

Hannah knew what he's trying to say, since he had tried texting her the same thing but she ignored it.

Hannah: I have a boyfriend. Tu! Sayang sini!

Harris was reluctant at first but Hannah's desperate eyes moved his step foward, towards them.

Harris shook hand with Jamal.

Harris: Tak sangka kita jumpa kat sini En. Jamal.

Jamal: Harris kan? The producer.

Harris: Yup its me. But today I'm not a producer. I'm Hannah's boyfriend.

Jamal clenched his fist but forced a smile, to act professional.

Harris: Ayang, he's the sponsor for the programme I'm producing now.

Hannah: Oh really?

Harris: Ayang.. nak minyak. Sapukan, sakit perut.

Harris pouted, buat muka mengada.

Jamal widened his eyes.

Hannah: Abang sorry eh.. kiteorang pergi dulu.

Harris took her handbag and led her to the empty bench nearby.

Hannah took out her minyak angin and hand it over to Harris.

Harris: Sapukan lah..

Hannah felt like smacking him but calmed herself as Jamal was still watching them. She lifted his shirt a little, closed her eyes and just randomly applying the minyak angin.

Hannah: Is he still here?

Harris: Baru je pergi.

Hannah finally could breath.

Hannah: Sakit perut betul ke?

Harris: Tak la tipu je... Hehhe

Hannah: EEE! AKU SAPU MINYAK ANGIN DALAM MATA BARU TAHU!
MENGADA!

Harris: Jangan marah. Nak berlakon pun biar nampak real sikit. Kau tak pernah sapu minyak angin kat dia kan?

Hannah: Ergh takde maknanya.

Harris: Dah jom Laolao! Kau craving kan?

****

Hannah was scooping the ice cream into her mouth but she felt like she could choke herself. Harris was staring at her ever since the incident.

Hannah: Nak?

She offered her ice cream.

Harris: Tak nak, rasa susu basi.

Hannah: susu basi? Lantak kau la...

She thought when she started to initiate a conversation he would no longer stare at her. But he didn't stop.

Hannah: Stop looking at me like that!

Hannah: Stop looking at me like that!

Harris: ok

But his reply didn't match his actions. He continued looking at her, more intense.

Hannah: Harris... Please...

Harris: I need an explanation.

Hannah: explanation apa lagi?
Kau tau kan dia siapa dalam hidup aku.

Harris: Aku tak kisah pasal dia.
Aku kisah pasal kita.

Hannah: Kita? kita apa?

Harris: Kita, in a relationship. Aku nak kau panggil aku sayang sampai bila2.

Hannah forced herself to swallow the ice cream in her throat although she felt like throwing it up.

Harris: I don't want it as an act. I want us to be serious.

Hannah laughed that made him bewildered.

Hannah: pernah ke kau serious?

Harris: Aku kata kita kan? Aku, kau, kita serious in a relationship.

Hannah: serious la ni, kau kawan baik aku kan..

She continued eating her ice cream, acting like nothing happened. Although her heart felt like a volcano. Listening to him confessing.
Harris took the ice cream in her hand to her side.

Hannah: Woi, aku tengah makan lagi!

Harris: Aku tak habis cakap lagi. Tengok mata aku.

Hannah looked into his eyes. His laser eyes, showing he was not playing around bewitched her even more.

Harris: Saje kan buat2 bengap. Berapa banyak hint aku nak bagi? Aku doakan bengap betul baru tau.

Hannah: Kau nak ke girlfriend bengap?

Harris: Kau gila pun aku nak.

Hannah trying to hide her smile.

Hannah: Cuba bagitau aku, serious kau ni level berapa?

Harris: Level aku boleh jumpa tok kadi sekarang.

Hannah: Kalau aku kata aku tak nak kau macam mana?

Harris: Kau tak nak....

He flipped his hair backward, his eyes looking up on the ceiling.

Harris: Aku tak kira, aku ngorat kau  sampai kau nak.

Hannah chuckled.

Harris: From now on, its official that you're my girlfriend. And no one can take you away from me.

Hannah: Harris... Kau suka aku?

Harris: Ya Allah.. apa punya soalan la.. habistu aku cakap bagai nak rak sebab apa? Sebab suka la! Aku sayang kau, faham?
