"Q...? Is that you....?" Aku terperanjat apabila terdengar suara menegur aku. Mangkok bancuhan pan cake yang aku pegang tadi terlepas dari tangan aku. Pang!!!!
I lost my balance and slipped on the floor...."Arghhhh.....", aku mengerang....
Imran sudah melutut di tepi aku. Dia cuba memapah aku bangun but I just couldn't. "I can't Imran.....I can't get up.....my back hurts.....", aku mengadu.
"Ok...ok....you wait here....., lie down....., hmmmm I'll be back in a few minutes....", as he look concern and about to panic.
"Imran....Imran......hey....relax....relax....I was just acting.....", I confessed. But the look on his face showed disgust.
I slowly lift myself and stood up. "I am sorry....it was just a prank....I didn't expect that you would be so angry.....you shouldn't have sneak up on me earlier...", and he cut me off.
"Enough Q.....apa ni...seriously I ingat you betul-betul sakit. Wow.....you're too much...", he whispered but his eye balls almost popped out.
"Imran....! I was just having a little bit of fun....janganlah over...!" I replied.
"You know your childish antics was the reason why I decided to hold on to a proper engagement....", he blurted out. He looked stun as though he could not believe it came out from his mouth.
I stood behind the kitchen island counter and stared at Imran. I heard him wide and clear. "Ahhh....I see.....okay I better clean up. Nanti Mak Jah marah pulak.". I said. I kneel on the floor and started to clean up the kitchen. Imran came over as he tried to help me wipe off the floor with paper towel. Concentrating cleaning the floor I did not lift my face. Because if I do, Imran could see that my tears flowing rapidly down my cheeks.
"Q, say something....", Imran said and had his hand on my shoulder. I instantly turn to get up and wash the cleaning cloth. He stood up and follow me to the sink.
I kept repeating the same process until the floor is clean and no trace of broken ceramics or pan cake batter.
"Q, say something......listen,
I am really sorry...of what I've said. Please if you could just stop and let me explain....", Imran cuba memujuk aku.
I wiped my tears and replied, "There's nothing more to explain. I heard you loud and clear. May be we both need some space and time to think where this relationship heading. I am perfectly fine....".
"Q,....please listen...", but I cut him off this time.

"Jodoh ditangan Tuhan. If it's not meant to be then it's not.....excuse me...", and I walked out of the kitchen. I went straight to Hamid's room and knock on his door....
A few seconds later the door opened. "Q, ada apa? Kenapa tak tidur lagi?", Hamid asked.
"Hamid, saya rasa keputusan awak campur tangan dalam urusan peribadi saya back fire. Tolong hantar saya pulang...", I said to Hamid. I stood there waiting for his response.
"Sekarang...?", He asked.
"Ya...sekarang.....", I reassured him. "I meet you by your car in 10 minutes.", I was stern.
Imran who has been standing behind me, pleaded,"Q, balik esoklah. Hamid is tired. Let him rest."
"Don't worry about us. We'll be fine.....", I replied.
That night Hamid drove me back to Cyberjaya. This time I left him a huge tip.
So many things rushing through my head. Perhaps this this the right time for me to get away and think. Yes, I need to get away for a while. Then I remembered something. I dig deep in my handbag and found a wedding invitation card from Pak Uda. He is marrying off his son in Alor Setar.
Yes........this is where I should be. Fresh air can do one a lot of good.
So, Kedah....here I come....maybe this what I needed. I found myself in Bali......who knows what I will discover in Kedah.
