"I tengok you workout every single day....tak penatke? I mean, jarang orang berlari every single day....", he asked.
"Suka I lah....yang penting I tak kacau orang. I come calmly, do my run and leave like a flash.", I answered. "You know what..., I rasa sangat pelik....dalam banyak-banyak orang di Malaysia ni, I boleh terserempak dengan you.....", I told him.
"You ingat I nak jumpa you di sini? Please lah.....kalau jumpa Fazura ke, or better still Neelofa....okay jugak....", he replied.
I closed my eyes and smiled...."Eleh.....dia orang loaded tak akan naik keretapi....", I snap at him. I continued, "You boleh berangan tapi jangan haraplah nak jumpa mereka dalam train....., mana ada class....".
"Naik train okay what...", he said.
I sat up straight to look at him. "Hello....I tak cakap yang naik train ni tak okay.....cuma you yang salah pilih mode of transport. Maybe kalau kat airport you boleh jumpa Neelofa...". Aku bersandar kembali.
Terkekek-kekek Emir ketawa.... and he slam his hand on his head. "Ouch!", he snap.
Aku memandang Emir dan ketawa at the same time...."Well, you deserved it...", I said. Dan Emir memandang aku. Kami bertentangan mata and silence......we were not smiling. Expressionless....

"This is the first time saya dapat memandang awak dengan jelas sekali.", Emir said softly. Aku terdiam tapi masih memerhatikan mukanya. Dari rambutnya berwarna salt and pepper, ke matanya yang turun ke hidung yang mancung. Clear complexion except he looked unshaven but that brings out the manliness in him. His mouth......gave me a shiver to my spine......
"Tak ada yang menarik pun.....biasa-biasa saja....", I responded and looked away. Bergetar jantung aku dibuatnya....
"Yup, I pun tahu....tak ada yang special pun....", he had to reply. Benci dengan lagak sombongnya.
"Pergi mampuslah.....", I replied and stood up. He instantly grabbed my arm and said, "Wait.....!".
I pause and thought that he was going to apologized to me. Instead he continued, "If you pass by the cafeteria, please get me a cup of coffee.....", and he had the nerve to ask me that....and he grinned.
"Urghhh!...", I made a pissed off sound. I tugged my arms from his grip and said, "Go get it your bloody self!" and left him alone. Manusia jenis apa dia ni....menyampah!
I found the train Inspector sitting in a small room between cabin D and C. I started up a small conversation and asked him if anyone before have been thrown out of the train. He replied, "Belum pernah ada lagi Cik. Kenapa? Ada yang perlu dibuang ke....?", and we laughed. He decided to leave the room to check on new passengers boarding the train. So I sat at his seat and enjoy the scenery from the opened window. Nyaman sekali....tak sesejuk dalam tadi.
Sedar tak sedar aku sudah menghampiri Alor Setar. I walked back to my seat and surprised Emir is gone. Good...I hope he got off before Alor Setar. However, I do feel guilty for not getting him his coffee. Well, on a good note.....I do not have to see him anymore.
Stesen keretapi Alor Setar kecil. Aku turun platform dan menghala ke pintu keluar. There were a few bench on the right side of the main entrance and I decided to take a sit while making call to Pak Uda.
"Assalamualaikum Pak Uda......ini Q. Q dah sampai di stesen keretapi Alor Setar.....", I started the conversation.
"Waalaikumsalam.....dah sampai? Alhamdulillah.....ingatkan hang naik flight.....", answered Pak Uda.
"Tak, Q naik train saja.....relax sikit....Pak Uda, macamana Q nak ke rumah Pak Uda...?", I asked.
"Ok....., hang tunggu sana....Hisham dah pi ke airport pulak. Pak Uda call dia dan suruh dia pi ke stesen keretapi. Hang tunggu naaa....jangan ke mana-mana.", he replied dengan loghat Kedah yang pekat.
"Ialah.....Q tunggu ni....", I assured him sambil tergelak. I looked around and there is nowhere to go. Nak duduk terasa boring sangat dengan cuaca yang panas terik. Berpeluh di buatnya.....
Mata aku melilau memerhatikan suasana sekeliling. Aku bangun dan menuju ke kiosk kecil di sebelah kanan untuk membeli air mineral.
"You still owe me coffee.....". Aku terkejut. Lantas botol air mineral terlepas dari genggaman aku. It fell on the ground. Habis basah lantai kiosk......Aku memerhatikan lantai dan menelan air liur. Hilang terus dahaga aku. Then I looked up.....
It was Emir.....I should have known......
"Damned you...look what you did...! Are you stalking me? Don't you have better things to do.....", aku memarahi Emir dan hampir menitis air mata aku di buatnya.
I turn to the cashier to apologized." Maaf sesangat......basah lantai kedai kakak....". I gave her ten ringgit and told her to keep the change. When I turn, Emir disappeared.
I walked back to the wooden bench and took a seat. Dari hujung mata kiri, aku rasakan seperti seseorang memerhatikan aku.....so I turn and there he was.......
Kesian pulak tengok dia.....but dia sendiri yang cari pasal dengan aku........I stood up and walk over to him. I sat directly in front of him. Sambil menongkat dagu aku perhatikan mukanya.....Yes, he was restless by my action....
"Kenapa....malu? Malu bila saya tengok awak macam ni....tapi awak tak ada sense of respect towards me bila you berkali-kali malukan saya in public....", I kind of lecture him a bit. Air mata aku berat dikelopak mata aku. He raised his hands and I instantly straightened up my body. My tears roll down my cheeks.
"Stop.....don't move.....", he said and used the back of his hands to wipe my tears. "Maaf ya kalau gurauan saya kasar.....".
So we just sat there facing each other and did not utter a single word.
