Desmond terkejut tiba ii sahaja Zade dah berdiri di belakangnya dngn secawan kopi panas. Zade duduk di sebelah Desmond smbil mengeluh sakit.

"You should stay in the room..why? Do you need something?"

"Did i hurt your heart?"

"Huh?"

Zade hulur kopi itu pada Desmond serba salah. Desmond mencapai kopi itu kehairanan.

"What do you mean?"

"I apologize."

"For what?"

"For hurting your husband..i know im nothing compared to him..im just..you know..i felt..betrayed..anger..i felt like.."

"Hes..already..gone."

Zade terdiam begitu sahaja. Dia memandng ke arah lain dngn keluhan. Cibaiiii

"Desmond..you can be mad at me..its fine..again i apologize."

"Even if i kill you right now , he will never comeback..now..i have to protect you. I cant lose someone important again.."

"I can take care of by myself."

"Really? Do you even know how dangerous they are? They are well- trained agents! You dont know how many agents and assassin that has been ordered to chop of your head."

"It means..im that strong right? They needed a lot of people to kill me..including you..haha! Funny!"

Desmond pejam matanya smbil menghela nafas penat. Zade terus menarik Desmond bersandar ke bahunya lalu dia mencium dahi lelaki itu.

"Thankyou again for coming back to me Desmond. Yk..eventho i feel like its hard to trust you again..but i hope.."

"I promise w my heart. I wont leave and betray again."

Mereka berdua serentak tersenyum lega smbil memandng pemandangan malam dri tingkat 20 hospital itu.

##
Desmond terbangun dri tidurnya dngn nafas yg kencng. Dia melihat Zade yg telah tertidur nyenyak di katil aman.

4 years ago..

"I have to go."

"You gotta be kidding me? ZADE! WE TALKED ABOUT THIS! YOU PROMISED WE WILL NEVER DO SUCH A THING BACK!"

"WE HAVE TO! CANT YOU SEE HOW MANY DEBT WE HAVE?! VAD..CANT YOU PLEASE..FOR ONE TIME..NOT STRESSING ME OUT?"

"I..I..was..trying to help you..but not in this way..cant you remember? We promised..we promised..we will stop killing people..what happened to you Desmond..?"

Desmond mengetap rahangnya kesal lalu dia menepis tngn Vad. Vad terpaku di ruangan itu dngn hati yg kecewa dan hancur.

"Desmond..please..cant we do another thing..?"

"I will leave soon. if you dont want , then dont come."

"I dont want you to die..! I love you..i love you so bad..thats why i dont want you to go! YOU COULD DIE JUST LIKE THAT!! HOW COULD YOU-"

Desmond membaling telefonnya ke Vad buatkan telefon itu trkena wajah Vad. Vad tertunduk dngn air mata yg mulai bertakung.

"I said..enough Vad."

-
Vad terpaku di ruangan trsebut setelah menyedari Desmond telah pergi begitu sahaja. Hatinya hancur sekelip mata tringat kembali layanan kasar Desmond semalam.

Cincin perkahwinannya dilihat sebak kemudian dia terus masuk ke dlm bilik untuk mengemas pakaiannya.

Desmond memandng Vad yg baru tiba di dlm bilik mesyuarat itu. Vad duduk di seat yg bertentngan Desmond buatkan seisi agent yg rapat dngn mereka di ruangan itu sudah hairan.

Masing ii diam membisu tidak merespon apapun.

"Yoo Vad..wow we thought you wont come?"

"I came."

"Haha! Yea..anyways..what happened to your face? Did someone hurt you?"

Vad diam membisu malas ingin mention nama Desmond. Dia terus pndng arah lain tk ingin mnjd pusat perhatian.

Begitu juga Desmond , bertingkah dingin seolah tidak ingin melihat Vad.

Ego ruined it all.

--
Desmond menyeka air matanya dngn perasaan menyesal. 3 tahun dia tinggalkan Vad..3 thun dia sengaja bertingkah dingin dngn Vad.. dan shingga skrng dia menyesal dngn perbuatan kasarnya dahulu.

Dia trauma untuk hilang orng yg dia sayang. Dia takut.

Andai dia boleh putarkan masa kembali , dia akan cuba untuk layan Vad sebaik mungkin.

"Im such a shitty person.."

##
"Cant..we talk for a minute..Desmond?"

Desmond menarik nafas dalam kemudian dia menoleh pada suaminya. Dingin sahaja tatapannya. Vad mendekati Desmond lalu rmbut suaminya diperbetulkan agar kemas.

"Goodluck..i know you can do it." Ucap Vad shaking nadanya. Seakan ingin meraung di situ juga. Desmond psang muka kosong seolah tidak sedar seberapa dalam luka di hati suaminya skrng ini.

"Anything else?"

"Take..care..i love you..if you have time..send me some texts.."

"Not promise..you too..take care."

Vad ingin peluk Desmond tetapi salah seorng rakan mereka telah memanggil Desmond.

Tak sempat Vad ucap selamat tinggal , Desmond terlebih dahulu melangkah meninggalkannya sndiri.

Vad mengenggam tngnnya dngn hati yg pedih. Ditarik dngn dalam nafasnya agar air mata tidak jatuh.

Sabar.

Tahan.

"Kau tk call Desmond?" Soal Leah yg prihatin dngn dua sahabatnya iaitu Vad dan Desmond. Dia thu ada something wrong between them.

"Hes busy."

"Text him..its not like hes busy for 24 hours. Hes your husband."

"I..i..dont think he wants me to be his husband anymore."

"What do you mean? Oh god..you guys fight? Why?" Leah terus ubah kerusi dan duduk di samping Vad risau. Vad cuma trsenyum palsu tk thu nk start mcm mana.

Sumpah dia tk thu kenapa sedrastik ini Desmond boleh berubah.

Sumpah kecewa.

"He hit me."

"FUC? WHAT?! HE HIT YOU? THIS IS WHY YOU HAD A BIG ASS BRUISED ON YOUR FOREHEAD?!"

"yea..i..i guess he was stressing out that time."

"NO! THATS NOT OKAY! HITTING IS NEVER A SOLUTION! SO THATS WHY..HUH..OH GOD.."

"I didnt want him to go..but i couldnt make him stay."

"Fuck..hes so stubborn and everything..im so sorry Vad..let me hug you..you can cry if you want..tell me everything..im ready to listen it all."

Leah memeluk Vad dngn perasaan kasihan. Tk sngka pula Desmond punya redflag.

Desmond menatap Zade yg sedng sibuk menelefon seseorng itu dri jauh. Tngnnya bermain dngn cincin perkhwinan di tngnnya lalu dia membuat keputusan untuk mncabut sahaja cincin itu.

Disimpan kemas ke dlm poket lalu dia dekati Zade dri belakang.

"Sir Zade..hi..i will be your personal doctor from now."

"Ah..Doctor.."

"Desmond."

"Doctor Desmond..! Oh..right..well.. goodluck."

Mereka berdua bersalaman dngn snyuman lebar.

And from that moment..hes starting to forget about his husband.
