LEON: THE TIME CONTROLLER

Count 43: What Is Love?

Keesokan harinya, Sarah berseorangan di kelas kerana Leon dipanggil ke bilik pengetua sendirian.

Sarah mengambil keputusan untuk duduk dan makan bersama dengan Freya, Sayaka dan Rina. Banyak perkara yang mereka bualkan.

"Freya, do you love Steve?"

Hampir tersembur minuman soda yang diminum oleh Freya apabila mendengar soalan sebegitu dari Sarah. Pipi Freya memerah sedikit.

"Apa maksud awak?" Soal Freya.

"She deeply in love with Steve, Sarah. In fact they're already enganged last year." Balas Sayaka selamba.

"Wha-!? Sayaka! Why you tell Sarah!" Marah Freya dengan muka yang merah padma.

"What? No need to hide good news, right?"

"When you ask Freya this question, does it mean you have someone you love, Sarah?" Soal Rina selamba.

Pipi Sarah memerah. Rina dan Freya membulatkan mata. Mereka bagaikan tidak percaya dengan apa yang mereka lihat sekarang ni. Sayaka tersengih melihat reaksi Sarah.

"Hey! Tell me, Sarah! Is that Leon?" Soal Rina teruja. Freya mengangguk laju.

"Mmmm..." Sarah mengangguk perlahan.

"I can't believe, Sarah! Its just...Amazing!!!" Kata Rina dengan teruja.

"A tomboyish like you can feel love, too? Wow.." Tegur seseorang.

"Huh? Claire..." Kata Freya.

"Don't make that face like that, Sarah." Kata Claire tersenyum apabila melihat muka Sarah yang menakutkan.

"I'm just shocked. Well, here a question for you...What is love?" Sambung remaja perempuan itu seraya menyoal Sarah.

"What is love?" Soal Sarah keliru.

"Yes. In your opinion, what is love, Sarah? You can't just say you love someone when you don't have any single idea about what is love really are.." Balas Claire serius.

"Love..."

"Ok...Love...?"

"I admit, I don't know what is love really are..." Ujar Sarah menggaru pipi.

"We really go back to that stage?" Soal Rina dengan keluhan.

"But, whenever I'm with him, I feel comfortable. He speak with me dispite my attitude. He still be with me when he's strong enough to fight Unknown alone...I don't know what kind of feeling is this but...My heart keep telling me to stay by his side forever.." Sambung Sarah tersenyum. Pipinya segera memerah sedikit.

Tetiba Claire menepuk lembut bahu Sarah. Remaja perempuan itu keliru apabila bahunya ditepuk.

"It seems you're already found your answer about love. Congrats. I can tell, you and Leon is perfect each other. So, don't forget this feeling, Sarah. Keep growing them." Kata Claire tersenyum lalu beredar.

Sarah terdiam tidak terkata. Freya dan Rina berpandangan sesama sendiri lalu senyuman sinis terhasil.

"So, when you will kiss each other?" Soal Rina dengan sengihan sinis di mukanya.

"H-Hah!? Ki-kiss!?" Soal Sarah dengan muka yang merah.

"Yeah! This is my advice for you. Kiss him and he will be yours." Kata Rina tersengih.

"Really?" Soal Sarah perlahan sambil menguis meja.

"HAHAHAHAHA!!!" Tetiba Sayaka ketawa kuat sehingga seluruh kelas mengalih perhatian kepada mereka.

"Just what they're talking about?" Soal Yu menghela nafas.

"Girls talk. We shouldn't bother them." Balas Steve.

"Agree." Sampuk Allison.

"I can't believe, Sarah! You, who are have a fierce aura, actually a little cinnamon roll!! Hahahahaha!!! Really! This is my greatest discovery!!" Kata Sayaka sambil ketawa.

"Goddamn, Sarah. If Leon see you right now, I bet he will bleeding through his nose." Ujar Rina tersengih.

"I-I can't help it! You know me! I'm not feminine like Freya. I'm just a girl who have tomboyish attitude! Who want girl like me?" Soal Sarah resah.

"Then, just be yourself. You already a have cute face, Sarah." Kata Freya tetiba sambil menongkat dagu.

"Hah?"

"You heard me. You already have a cute face. When you smile, the other will blushing. You have picture with Leon?"

"Hurmm...Ada..Kejap.."

Sarah menekan sesuatu pada jam tangannya lalu muncul gambar Sarah bersama Leon.

"See at your smile. Its beautiful. So, just be yourself. Love is something we can't describe correctly. But, this is my opinion about love. You can't say you fall in love if you can't accept any weakness you partner have. If you love someone, that means you already accept weaknesses from your partner." Ujar Freya.

"And I believe, Leon already accept your weaknesses, Sarah. Look at this picture, Leon never smile like that before. So, that means he also fall in love with you." Sambung remaja perempuan itu lagi.

Semua yang berada dalam kelas itu terdiam. Pipi Steve sudah merah padam. Dia hanya mampu menutup mukanya.

"Ini sungguh memalukan!" Kata Steve perlahan.

"W-what?" Soal Freya pelik sambil memandang sekeliling.

"Who thought, the One Wing Valkyrie can say her opinion about love." Kata Sayaka.

"My goodness! I want to marry you!!" Ujar Rina seraya memeluk erat Freya.

"Geez, Rina! I already have Steve!! Go to your partner!!" Balas Freya seraya cuba melepaskan diri daripada pelukan Rina.

Sarah tergamam mendengar pendapat Freya mengenai cinta. Dia tidak pernah menyangka bahawa Freya boleh mengeluarkan pendapatnya mengenai apa itu cinta.

"Let me go!"

"Aiyak!"

Rina terjatuh apabila Freya menggunakan kekuatannya untuk melepaskan diri dari pelukan Rina.

"So, never let Leon go, Sarah. Make him as yours. Someone like Leon is very rare." Kata Freya tersenyum.

"I agree. Grab this chance, Sarah. Go confess your feeling to him." Sampuk Sayaka yang juga tersenyum.

"Kami sekelas akan sokong kau, Sarah! Betul tak!?" Soal Rina yang baru bangun dari kelas.

"Betul!!"

"Just go with him! Both of you perfect each other!"

"Go confess!!"

"Tu-tunggu. Semua ni secara tetiba...Aku tak boleh..." Sarah kelihatan keliru dengan apa yang berlaku. Matanya mula berpusing.

"Apa yang kau tunggu lagi!! Luahkan jelah!"

"I-I can't... Semua ni secara mengeju-" Tetiba Sarah jatuh pengsan.

Freya sempat menyambut Sarah. Mereka semua terkejut melihat Sarah yang pengsan itu. Sayaka hanya menghela nafas melihat Sarah yang pengsan itu.

"Kau yang berperangai seperti lelaki, kuat memaki dan kasar...Rupanya seorang yang masih suci mengenai cinta? Wow.."
