CHAPTER 21

Back to JEROME’S P.O.V

“Ergh” Kepala saya.

Sialnya, punya sakit kepala saya.

Saya buka mata saya perlahan-lahan.

Ouch! Kitai bah tu sinar mata hari macam jarum menusuk mata saya.

“Beginilah kau on Sundays?” JEREMIAH.

“Di mana saya ni?” Saya blur. What happened last night? I only remembered being in BLACK and…

Sapphire!

I sat up in a speed of a lightning.

“At your funeral.” Jeremiah bilang! “Brothers and sisters, we are gathered here today…”

Pukitai! Saya terdengar someone chuckling while Jeremiah is drowning in his sarcasm.

“We were at church you know.” Si Jeremy yang tukang ketawa di belakang Jeremiah tadi! “Minus you.”

Jeremiah smirked.
“The day Jerome goes to church without any occasion, silap sikit hari khiamat tu.”

Jeremy ketawa terbahak-bahak. Not funny. Not funny at all.

“What are you doing here this early?” Saya tanya Jeremiah, kogutan bah saya ni. I need chicken herbal soup. “Since you’re already here, bagus kau turun bawah beli saya tu chicken herbal soup di Xiang Xiang.”

Banyak cafe and bistros at the ground floor of my condo. And I specifically got a Chinese restaurant in. Mana tahan hari-hari makan western saja.

Jeremiah buat muka bida. Ni adik kan. Lain betul gaya dia dari Jeremy yang suka mentertawa dan menjahili saya.

“Kau turunlah sendiri.” Jeremiah bilang. “Minta Siang Siang kitchen kasi sedia kau herbal soup.”

Siang Siang? Saya tau lah saya terbangun terlampau siang and didn’t go to church with them. Itupun mau buat a sarcastic remark kah?

Jeremy ketawa lagi. Saya humban dia pakai bantal.

“Bikin sakit kepala oh kau balik-balik ketawa sana.” Saya mengerutkan dahi sambil memicit-micit ubun-ubun kepala saya.

“Saya sudah minta mom masak soup.” Jeremy bilang. That smile never leaving his face.

Mom?

“Mom kasi tapau untuk saya?” Macam kurang sikit denyutan di kepala saya terus oh.

“Are you serious?” Jeremy tersengih. “Cucilah muka kau yang banyak taik tu. Terus turun.”

Muka saya banyak taik dia bilang! Taik mata saja pun dia cakap macam yang taik betul ni.

I got up from the bed. Kurang steady saya rasa.

Slow-slow kau, J.

Then I realized one thing.

This is my room. My room in my family home!

Damn shit!

Pantas saya bergegas masuk the bathroom. Bukan setakat cuci muka, I need a damn good shower sebelum menghadap mom and dad.

Dekat satu jam baru saya turun. Nasib masih banyak baju saya dalam almari pakaian saya. Masih wangi juga. Seems like mom made sure everything in my room remains clean, fresh and smells nice walaupun saya tidak tinggal sini.

“Kau bermake-up lagi kah?” Jeremiah!

“Dia cabut togitung bah tu.” Jeremy lagi teruk!

“Uish! Mulut tu ah, boys.” Mom warned Jeremy and Jeremiah.
