Estupído But True.[c]

Bab 45

Hampir 3 hari , aku tak dapat tidur , tak dapat kunyah makanan . Aku tak bercakap pun dengan sesiapa , not even Guillermo . Aku masih tak dapat terima kenyataan yang Lucas tu kembar aku sendiri. "you should eat."kata Guillermo . Sejak hari tu, dia tak pernah tinggalkan aku sorang-sorang. Seperti dia tahu, aku tak dapat lawan emosi aku sendiri.

Dia risau aku akan buat sesuatu yang tak baik . Dia tahu aku lemah dan fikiran aku bila-bila masa boleh buat decision bodoh . So dia jaga aku .

Aku menggeleng. Guillermo mula mendekati aku. " Not eating can make you ill, you know." Kata Guillermo .

Aku hanya termenung. "It doesn't matter."jawab aku dengan perlahan. "He really loves you, Estefanía. Both of you are experiencing the same pain. He's just like you; he feels helpless. So you shouldn't hurt yourself because of this."

Aku hanya membisu . Selepas itu , perlahan-lahan Guillermo berjaya memujuk hati aku , aku perlahan-lahan cuba untuk menerima kenyataan. Sejak hari itu, aku dan dia semakin rapat.

"Why didn't they tell me? Not even a single clue."Tanya aku masih tertanya-tanya. "Who? " tanya Guillermo .
"My parents ."

Dia berfikir seketika. "I'm sure they didn't know either, but now, for sure, they're in Spain. They'll find out."Terang Guillermo .

"Habis tu , pehal tinggalkan I kat sini lak? Asal tak bawak je sekali ?"Tanya aku sebenarnya tak puas hati . Guillermo terdiam lama dan menggelengkan kepala . Dia pun tak tahu kot.

"Hari tu , I joke yang dia tu abang I , tak sangka joke tu kenyataan . I really like that joke though
."

"Do you regret it ?" Tanya dia . Perlahan-lahan aku menggeleng ."If I could turn back time, I would say that he's my twin instead." jawab aku dengan selamba .

Guillermo pun tak dapat berkata-kata . "You know, at one point, I thought he was your brother." Kata aku . Dia mengangguk . "I know that ." Balasnya .

"But as it turns out, you two are just friends. "

"No, we're not ."jawabnya. Segera aku memandangnya . "Huh?"

"I traveled all the way from Spain to tell him something important and help him out, but that doesn't automatically make us friends." Terangnya .

"So... what's the deal? Are you two like, hating on each other or something?" Teka aku . "Sort of." Jawabnya .

"It all began back in high school. I was in love with a girl, and we dated. But we broke up, and she got together with Marquez. I was jealous because obviously I still had feelings for her. Marquez sensed this and got protective, knowing I wanted her back. That's how it all began.."

Okay . Benda ni cam tak kena je dengan diaorang berdua . "Damn. That's pretty hard ."balas aku .

"Bill cakap dia first time jumpa you kat hotel dia. Masa tu I baru je broke up dengan dia . Pas tu you tinggal kat hotel tu. Korang jumpa kat bar hotel tu. You ikhlas ke nak kawan dia? I mean you memang terjumpa Bill tanpa sengaja ke apa? Or you memang dah ada plan ke apa-apa?" Entah lah pehal aku sibok sangat dengan hal diaorang tapi aku nak tahu hal sebenar je .

"Ikhlas lah, I memang tak kenal dia siapa or apa-apa pasal you time tu, so kitaorang kenal macam tu je lah. I sampai Malaysia, I stay kat hotel dia, then I singgah bar kat hotel tu kejap, I random lah duduk sebelah stranger, not knowing yang Bill tu anak kepada boss hotel tu sendiri. I nampak dia macam serabut lah kan masa tu, then borak-borak. Dia pun cite apa jadi dekat dia, tak lama tu tipsy, pastu mula lah dia bagitahu semua pasal ex dia yang dia baru putus hari tu, then boom dia sebut-sebut nama you, so I pun ingat lah nama Mariéne tu. Then kitaorang selalu hang out lah."
