We just stare at each other...I can see my reflection in his eyes...I wish I can read what's in his mind at that moment...
"Did I say you look beautiful tonight Alayna?" Mata dia masih tingu saya. Bibir dia macam 2 inci saja dari bibir saya. Kami masih slow dance. Napa bah lambat betul habis ni lagu.
Saya imagine macam ada tu Love Cupid - white little angel pegang bow pi tabak arrow di jantung saya ni sekarang. 💘💘💘💘💘
Tapi tiba-tiba
RULES ALAYNA! RULES!!!

(Throwback)
"How is the JV deal with HM group in KK Fred? Did they agree with our terms?"
"I'm still trying to get Mr. Wong, he was on long vacation to Europe. It seems that the BOD wants him to make the decision for them boss" Fred cakap
"Hmm...I want it to be settle by end of the month. This deal has already been pending for too long and wasting our time. You call them today to arrange another meeting with me. I will fly to KK next week."
"Okay, I will..." Tidak sempat Fred habis cakap
Trut trut trut
Handphone bunyi...saya angkat tangan suruh Fred hold cakap dia dulu
Me: Hello mum.
Mum: Elec are you in the office? I want to ..
Me: Can we talk later mum? I'm having a meeting now.
Mum: Oh okay. Can you come home for dinner tonight? I will ask Bertha to cook your favourite meal.
Me: Okay mum. I'll be home by 7pm
Mum: Okay Lec. Bye
Saya terganggu sekejap lepas tutup tu phone call. Hmmm...Mummy called. Saya macam buli agak sudah apa dia mau cakap nanti.
"Eeheemm boss, so I will call William to set the meeting with you next week?" Fred tanya kasi sedar saya dari mengelamun.
"Ah yeah...Hmm...if there is no other issue, we adjourned this meeting until I come back from Canada." Saya cakap sama semua 6 orang staff yang ada dalam meeting.
Saya cerita2 kosong sama Akauntan Kingsland. Ada lebih kurang 10 minit baru saya masuk bilik saya.
"Mandy, can you come in to my office" saya cakap di depan dia. Mandy bangun bawa diari dia masuk ikut saya di belakang.
"Yes anything boss?"
"I need you to prepare for me one appointment letter for the vacancy of Marketing Manager"
"Hmm, why is Mr. Liew resigned?" Mandy tanya muka hairan. Eh, shit I forgot about him.
Hmmmm 🤔🤔🤔
"Well okay, draft me one appointment letter for the post of PR Manager. This is the details" saya bagi dia satu kertas ada nama sama details Alayna. Mandy ambil tu kertas baca sekejap, muka dia lain tapi dia tidak tanya.
"Okay boss. Anything else?"
"That's all. I want it before I leave office."
Saya teringat pasal semalam masa keluar bawa Alayna dinner sama dorang Rhys and Sierra. Tidak tau kenapa tiba2 saya mau offer Alayna kerja sama saya. Saya rasa macam tercabar bila Rhys tiba2 mau offer Alayna kerja. Saya tidak mau dia telampau rapat sama Alayna...He knows about me, my dark side. Okay this is weird...Napa saya mau ambil peduli apa Alayna fikir pasal saya? In fact, yang terikat dalam tu kontrak si Alayna saja. Saya masih bulih buat apa yang saya mau. Why I care?
I don't know why I got the feeling macam Rhys ada interest sama Alayna. I can see the way he look at her. Dia tidak akan setuju kalau saya buat kontrak begini sama perempuan macam Alayna. Saya fikir kalau Alayna kerja sama saya mungkin senang sikit saya mau kontrol dia tidak langgar tu rules in the contract. Ada 30 minit, Mandy masuk bawa tu draft appointment letter Alayna. Saya baca check semua content kasi ngam mana yang patut then saya suruh dia final print. Bisuk pagi saya pass sama Alayna since dia sendiri tidak mau datang discuss tadi pagi.
******************************
Jam 7.15pm saya sampai di rumah. Mummy sibuk di dapur assist orang gaji kami Bertha. Bertha ni orang Sarawak ada 10 tahun sudah kerja...saya tidak tau dia bangsa apa cause I never bother.. Mummy suka dia sebab dia pandai masak. Kerja rumah dia tidak suruh buat sebab ada orang gaji lain yang buat tu kerja. So selain jadi tukang masak, Bertha jadi assistant mummy saja pi mana2 bila perlu. Saya turun bawah duduk sekejap di living room tingu channel football sementara tunggu mummy panggil. Ada 15 minit kali tu then mummy panggil.
"Where's Daphne?"
"Oh she went to Singapore this afternoon...Jenna is getting engaged tomorrow"
"Who's Jenna?"
"Jenna Govind...Daph's close friend since they were in Primary school"
"I don't know her mum, I can't remember"
"Well... Like you can remember all the girls you have been with"
Mummy sindir saya.
"Mum, can we eat first. I have somewhere to go afterwards" saya kasi alasan..Malas mau dengar dia lecture
"I forgot to ask you to bring Alayna to have dinner with us"
"She's working tonight" saya cakap tidak tau betul kah tidak.
Mummy tunggu masa sampai makan dessert then sambung cakap.
"It's been a while you didn't sleep at home Elec. Are you and Alayna staying together?"
Saya terkejut mummy tanya macam tu.
"Nope she staying on her own"
"Have you met her family? Does she have any family around here?"
"She's an orphan mum. She's been raised by her aunt." Adeeiii nasib lah si Alayna ada cerita saya. Kalau tidak kantoi lah ni kena interoggate si mummy.
"Oh dear. That's really sad. How did you know her.?
"Mum what with all this 10 questions?"
"Do you love her Elec?"
😨😨😨 Saya terkejut mummy tanya
Of course not!! Why should I! I don't know this girl. She's hot and beautiful. I like her. I want her in my bed. But love? What is love??
"She's my girlfriend mum. Of course I love her" Saya terpaksa tipu mummy.
"Did you just pay some girl to be your girlfriend Lec, to impress me?
😨 She knew?
"What do you mean mum? Why did I want to ask someone to be my girlfriend? We loved each other. She's not like the other sluts that I had been dated before"
"Okay good. I want to see her again. Bring her together to Canada for the wedding. I want her to meet your other family there."
Mataii...Saya terpaksa lah ni mau paksa Alayna ikut. But why si mummy cakap saya bayar Alayna? Shit! Dia check account kah? Tapi saya tidak mau tanya nanti lagi ketara. So for now, saya pura2 saja.
"Ok what ever you say mum. Maybe this time I have to force her to come along"
*************************
Next morning, saya tidak sabar mau jumpa Alayna pasal tu trip pi Canada.
Hairan juga ni, bersemangat betul awal pagi. Saya call hotel dia, tu staff cakap Alayna shift start jam 9am. Ada satu jam lagi so saya assumed dia masih di rumah.
I don't know why I like to argue with her. Dia nampak cute bila malu atau marah. Dia tidak macam perempuan yang saya pernah kenal. Yang lain semua hipokrit sama suka berpura-pura. Tapi Alayna tidak. Dia telampau innocent but smart. And she's funny too. I don't know but I like to stare her mouth. How does it feel to kiss her?
Petang di office.
Trut trut trut
Check screen, Sierra calling
Me: Hello babe.
Sierra: Hello handsome. Where are you?
Me: Still in the office. What's up?
Sierra: Really Lec? You forgot??
Me: Forgot what Sierra? (Saya blank tidak tau apa dia cakap)
Sierra: You sucks! I hate you already. My birthday today fucker boy!
Me: Shit. Oh no sorry...It was really hectic today Sierra. (saya bagi alasan abis manalah saya buli ingat birthday dia walaupun kami kawan lama)
Sierra: Okay, appology accepted. Come to Fuze tonight. Don't be late. And please bring Alayna too.
Me: Okay babe. I'll see you tonight
Hmm bring Alayna? Hell no. I don't think so. Sierra is a lesbian. But bukan dia yang saya worry, Rhys is. Well...okay maybe saya telampau kontrol tapi saya tidak suka dia keluar pi tempat macam tu, lebih2 lagi kalau ada si Rhys. Kalau bulih saya tidak mau kasi dorang berjumpa. Not a chance!
Saya terpaksa datang lambat sikit join Sierra di Fuze cause ada dinner appointment sama Mr. Ranjiv. I don't know why this old man suka betul buat business appointment during lunch or dinner time. Mau jam 10pm baru saya habis sama Mr Ranjiv. Then I straight drive my car to Fuze club. Saya parking vip supaya senang mau balik. Saya check balik message Sierra dua jam yang lalu..dia kestau tempat mana dorang duduk. It's too crowded here. Can't hardly find anyone here.
Saya cuba cari2 tu VIP lots si Sierra. Saya nampak Rhys in the group but I can't see Sierra. I was standing 2 metres away to their place, when I saw one girl very familiar. Rambut high ponytail pakai white crop top. Tu white guy macam peluk pinggang dia then si Rhys pi pindah di sebelah dia.
ALAYNA? Tiba2 saya rasa panas. Saya macam marah pula ni. And Rhys was with her. Dia baru saja break 2 rules dalam tu contract.
Saya peluk pinggang dia dari belakang. Damn! I can feel her skin. Macam kena karan pula saya rasa. Saya peluk dia rapat dekat saya, her arse was pressing my dick. Shit Alayna!
I need to bring her out from there. Saya tidak tau kenapa saya telampau mau protect dia dari tu lelaki semua dalam tu club. Saya rasa panas ni. Saya tidak dapat tahan temper bila nampak lelaki lain pegang dia.
Saya telampau marah dia langgar tu rules tapi tidak bulih kasi lepas depan dia so saya drive laju to released the tension. Tapi saya menyesal lepas dingar dia nangis. Oh shit! Saya betul2 menyesal ni. Napa saya tiba2 rasa kasian sama dia ni?
***********************************
(Present day)
Sleeping in the same room with Alayna was a bad and stupid idea. But I don't have any choice, we don't have any choice. My mum mesti suspect kami kalau saya ambil bilik lain. Dia telampau smart kalau barang begini. Damn! Macam mana saya mau tahan sama Alayna. Frankly speaking I'm so horny right now. I didn't have sex almost a week. The first night, saya mau jadi gila. Kenapa dia pakai pindik lagi??? Kalau saya jahat, maybe saya rogol dia sudah ... Errr bukan rogol, seduce dia to have sex I mean 😦
But things getting out of control when I saw her half naked lepas balik dari gym. Saya baru saja kasi hilang stress di gym.
Shit Alayna. Fcuking shit! My dick painfully hard so saya terus masuk bathroom. Damn you Alayna, if the third time I caught you again...I think I will lose myself in you.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
A L A Y N A
Saya blink2 mata saya macam masuk habuk.
"No you didn't but thank you for the compliment" saya senyum 10%. Saya tunduk tidak berani mau tingu mata dia lagi. Saya rasa malu sama nervous pula ni tiba2. Kenapa bah dia ni, from being arrogant, serious, annoying, now charm and romantic? Saya tidak bulih terima gaya begini even though kami berlakon saja.
Thank God. Finally, the song ended. Kami stop dancing then Elec pigang tangan saya bawa balik sana meja tapi halfway jalan, ada orang tegur Elec.
"Elec? Dude, how are you?
Saya tingu lelaki lebih kurang macam Elec, muka mix buli tahan juga lah.
"Brian? Wow man. It's been a while huh"
"Yeah dude, I think I didn't see you for ages. You married man?" Dia tingu saya senyum.
"Haha not yet. This is Alayna, my girlfriend."
"Hi Alayna. I'm Brian, Elec's cousin. My pleasure to meet you.
"Hi Brian. Ya like wise..Thank you" saya senyum.
Dia bawa pi bar minum. Ya ada bar dalam ni wedding hall. Tidak macam hall juga cause ada open space juga. So guest bulih ambil fresh air kalau tidak mau di dalam. Saya berdiri di sebelah sambil minum wine sambil dingar dorang bercerita. Tidak lama ada few guys lagi join. Semua Elec kenal ni.
Daphne tiba2 datang bersandar tangan sana tu bar tingu saya.
"Boring right?" Dia tanya
"Hmm not really. I'm enjoying myself with this new culture." Saya cakap tingu dia.
"You know Alayna. I was very suprised when Elec bring you together to have lunch with us the other day. Sorry I just couldn't believe that my brother have a steady girlfriend." Dia senyum
"Hahaha. You not the first one Daphne who said the same thing to me. Well I cannot believe that I fall for him too besides his bad reputation with many women before." Saya senyum. Saya harap ngam lah apa yang saya cakap ni
Saya pusing tingu Elec di sebelah tapi tiada sudah pula. Aik hairan bila pula dia jalan? So saya bercerita sama Daphne. Best juga bah cerita sama dia ni. Dia baru 22 tahun pula, muda 4 tahun dari saya. Then dia bawa saya jumpa family relatives dia yang lain. Tidak tau napa tiba2 ni mata kan pandai meningu satu couple sana siring2. Saya nampak dorang bercerita sampai tu muka pandai dekat2 ni. Cantik tu perempuan. Macam mesra betul dia sama Elec. Saya nampak Elec pigang tu perempuan bawa jalan jauh dari sana sampai saya tidak nampak sebab kena tutup orang. Hmm saya rasa lain ni...Hairan why I care?
"Daphne, I want to take drink at the bar. You want anything?"
"Nah, I'm good. Thanks"
So saya jalan pi sana bar mau order minum yang strong sikit.
"Hi. Alayna right?" Tiba2 ada lelaki berdiri di sebelah tegur saya ni. Saya pusing tingu siapa, Cristiano Ronaldo??😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨
"I'm Travis" dia bagi tangan dia mau shakehand. Saya pun kasi tangan shake hand sama dia.
"Hi. How did you know my name?"
"Oh the groom Malcolm, he told me your name."
Hmmm...Tak kan Malcolm saja2 mau kestau nama saya kan? Mesti dia pi tanya ni tau... Eee bikin takut, abis ni nanti kana shoot c EKD.
"So you're from Malaysia?"
"Yes I'm from Malaysia?
Then kami cerita2, dia tanya pasal attraction di Malaysia. Of course saya kasi specific di Sabah kan. Saya suggest dia pigi during Sabah Fest. Rupa2nya dia ni bukan originally from Canada. Dia orang Milan Brazil. Adei patut lah rupa ada iras macam Cristiano..Tapi tidak lah saya mau tanya kalau dorang adik beradik atau cousin kan...Bikin malu ni big fan. 😂😂 Friendly guy juga ni, balik2 senyum nampak piuk dia...Adui handsome nyaaa.... Tapi macam ramai bah orang handsome sini ni. Tinggi2 lagi ni. Ada one joke si Travis cakap terus saya terketawa ni abis telampau lucu.
Saya tidak sedar si Elec serius meningu tempat saya dari hujung bar. Ada cousin2 dia di sana sibuk bercerita.
Fcuk with the stares Elec! Sial punya mata! I don't care! Saya bilang dalam hati.
Saya sambung balik layan cerita ni kembar Cristiano. Berminat betul saya dengar pasal Brazil.
"Sorry, excuse me. Alayna can you follow me for a while. I need to show you something" tiba2 Daphne berdiri di depan saya.
"Yeah sure. Nice talking with you Alayna"
"Yeah like wise Travis" saya senyum sama dia.
Daphne pigang tangan saya bawa jalan pi jauh dari tu bar. Aik macam keluar dari ni wedding hall sudah dia bawa saya ni.
"Where do you want to bring me Daphne?"
Then dia stop, saya nampak Elec sana berdiri membelakang kami.
"Your boyfriend asked me to drag you out from there" dia cakap tingu saya
Then dia pi dekat telinga bisik
"I think he's going to explode. Give him a good fcuk then he will be fine."
😨 Bulat mata saya dingar Daphne cakap gitu.
"My bestfriend give me the tips. Don't worry. It always work" then dia jalan kasi tinggal kami.
What the fuck! Nasib saya tiada adik. Kali saya tampar sudah tu mulut.
Elec pusing tingu saya. Ada gelas minuman di tangan kiri dia. Dia minum sampai habis then kasi ampai sana meja depan dia. Saya perasan sambil dia minum sambil dia tingu saya. Kami berdiri lebih kurang 3 meter saja kali tu.
Dia jalan pi dekat saya. Adui napa tiba2 pandai laju lagi jantung saya ni? Kalau selalu begini, saya takut kena heart attack oh 😦.
"I'm tired, let's go back to the room" dia cakap lembut then pigang pinggang saya bawa jalan pi lif lobby. Kami masuk lif tiada orang lain, kami diam saja ni tunggu sampai tingkat 11. Dia pigang tangan saya sekarang. Sejuk oh tangan dia. 😓 Saya macam masih buli dingar suara Daphne cakap,
"I think he's going to explode. Give him a good fcuk then he will be fine."
Ah buduh! Deleteeeeeeeee
Aargghhh tidak bulih delete! Melakat sudah di otak saya! 😓😣
Be strong Alayna. Don't give in.
Adeiiii confident betul saya ni mau beranu-anu sama si Elec nanti. Eeeee shit Daphne kasi racun otak saya!
Macam lama betul pula ni lif sampai tingkat 11 abis macam2 saya buli imagine sekarang ni. Finally tu lif stop, kami keluar dari lif, tangan saya masih dia pigang kuat masa kami jalan mau pi bilik. Gawd, makin dekat tu pintu bilik, makin laju jantung saya...Gilakkk punya perasaan.
DAPHNE, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU LATER
Sampai pintu macam saya mau terkencing pula. Dia buka ja pintu, terus saya tarik tangan saya jalan cepat2 pi toilet. Betul2 bah saya mau kencing dari tadi pi tu dinner tiada pi toilet. Habis kencing, macam saya rasa mau berkurung dalam toilet ni takut mau keluar.
Be strong Alayna! You strong girl! Teteda bah kan 😂😂😂 adakah strong?
Saya keluar then buat macam biasa. Saya nampak dia duduk di hujung katil. Tuxedo dia sudah buka. Button shirt dia sudah buka half, nasib belum jadi model santut. Tiba2 saya rasa rimas, panas pula ni...I need something strong. Saya buka tu mini fridge, nampak few small bottles of liquor sama few cans of beer. Saya ambil tu beer, avoid liquor nanti sakit kepala bisuk.
"What are you doing Alayna?" Dia berdiri di belakang saya sudah.
"I'm thirsty" saya buka tu beer then pusing tingu dia. O shit tu mata...Saya terus tius saja tu beer mungkin sampai half can juga tu. Dia masih berdiri sana tingu saya.
"Can you stop with the staring. Did I break any rules tonight?" Saya rimas kena tingu macam tu.
"I saw you with the pretty guy" dia masih lagi tingu saya. Saya minum lagi tu beer.
"Well I saw you with the pretty lady too" saya tidak mau kalah. Makin lagi mata dia tajam tingu saya.
"You know the rules Alayna"
"Why I felt like you're trying to control me? I can tolerate with all the rules in the contract but if you trying to interfere with my life or my freedom, I'm sorry but you're too much!!!"
"I didn't Alayna. I have never control you"
"So what was that when I cannot have fun with my friends? And now, you're terrified when some guy looking or talking to me...Are you jealous? Because if you are, please get over it, we are not real"
"I am not jealous Alayna. You signed the contract and agreed with the rules. You're mine."
Saya terkejut dengar tu last sentence dia "You're mine". Saya rasa macam tu jam Rolex atau sports car harga RM400k pula ni.
"You're wrong EKD, I'm not yours"
Dia macam mau jadi singa terus ni dingar saya cakap gitu.
"Fuck Alayna, you're driving me crazy!"
