"You just relax okay....I'll put on some music?", he asked. And I nodded.

Dejevu......lagu ini sentiasa mengingatkan aku kepada novel favourite aku, 13 Jam A380 by Evelyn Rose. Macamana Hana dan Haidar dipertemukan. I lost count how many times I've read the first eight chapters. The odd of something happen like that is one in a million. Pandai penulis mempersendakan perasaan leading characters. Masa mereka menari...masa Haidar merangkul Hana dan merenung burung berterbangan dari tingkap kapalterbang....hmmmm......sesuatu yang aku berharap untuk berlaku pada aku.
We were silent. Imran press a button on the dashboard and our side windows glide down.
Akhirnya aku dapat bersama dengan Q......
Quxandria.....kau pencuri hati aku.....
Dalam hidup setiap lelaki hanya akan ada seorang perempuan yang pasti membuat hidup berputar 360 darjah. Susah tidur, susah makan dan akan melakukan apa saja demi membahagiakan si dia. To me, it's Quxandria. I am in love with you, Quxandria.
The moment I laid eyes on her, there was thunder in my heart. I don't know why but it didn't stop. How her hair falls on her shoulder proportionately, her broad smile brighten up my day and the innocent look every time I look into her eyes. She is elegant, graceful, and humble at the same time..
"Are you cold....?......Q?.......", aku bertanya.
"Hmmmm.....no, no,...I am good...never done this before though.....", Q replied.
"What? Driving like this....?", aku menjawab dengan soalan.
"....not at 3 in the morning.....", Q answered and looked at me. That smile and those lips...emmm....membuat aku penasaran.
"You're enjoying it...?", aku bertanya lagi.
"Yes, I am....don't mind me....I'll follow your lead....", she put her trust in me.
"This would sound crazy....would it be alright if I hold your hand,.....Q?", I asked politely. Blood rushing to my heart.
She turned to me. "I understand if you not comfortable with it....I thought I should asked first...." I replied before she could reject me.
But I hold up my arm. The next thing she slide her tiny fingers in between mine. That feels so warm. "Thank you...", I said. I gripped gently her fingers and bring it close to my lips.Then I placed our hands on my thigh.
"Imran......I am supposed to be mad at you. You stood me up....", she said. Her eyes were on me.
"I apologized. It will never happened again. I am making up for it now....", aku memujuknya. She smiled dan menoleh mukanya ke arah luar tingkap. Lenggok badannya tercari-cari kedudukan yang selesa di sebelah aku. She was embarrassed by my reaction.
"I'm still digesting your reasoning.....", she is very inquisitive.
"Which part you don't understand...", I rubbed her hand on my thigh.
"The part where you waited for me at my place and why you didn't answer my calls....", too many questions asked.
Silence.....how to begin to explain.....aku menarik nafas.
"alright....first of all, I minta maaf dengan you....it was like this.....I was taken a back after I heard Kasyaff's confession. So, I said to myself there's no point of me to meet her. I drove around for a while trying to decide what is my action next. If you were dating Kasyaff why did you agree to meet me.....and my confusion brought me to your place. I know I must see you. Maybe by me being there I could ask you face to face. Why did you agree to meet me when you are already have a fiance. So, is she being unfaithful to Kasyaff? Now that I know the truth, I am glad I waited for you.....Q, I am attracted to you,very much.....I had to see you tonight.", I answered her truthfully from my heart.
"Since when you and Kasyaff became friends? I kenal all of his friends. So the day we bumped into each other at the office, you datang jumpa Kasyaff lah ya?", again she is very inquisitive.
"Tak lama, about six months. We met through a mutual friend. Kasyaff is a rising talent in Malaysian architecture industry. So I just return from Perth and decided to learn from him...and yes, I was at Kasyaff's office that day....", I explained in length.
"Check!", she spoke.
"Check? What do you mean.....", I said. Turning to her a couple of times trying to interpret her facial expression. I gripped slightly harder out of nervousness and she snapped.
"Sakitlah.....alright, alright,....I believe you.....check! Got it?", Q struggle a bit but I was firm and didn't want to let her hand go. She stopped resisting.
"Did not mean to hurt you. I was nervous.....", I apologized. I slowly released her hand. At that moment Q said, "I'm nervous too.....", and she gripped my hand.
I smiled......in my heart as well.
Kami belum tahu apa yang akan terjadi pada hari esok, tapi aku pasti satu hari nanti apa yang kami punyai sekarang ini sudah lebih dari cukup. Aku, Quxandria dan saat ini, biarlah masa depan menjadi kejutan.
