❝ You're my every reason ❞

"You're his reason. You always have been! You're his every reason. Husna"
Terkedip-kedip kelopak mata tengok Ferlina. Cuba menghadam ayat Ferlina yang kedengaran amat mustahil bagi aku.
"Susah lah nak percaya yang abang Rees suka saya dari dulu lagi. Abang Rees tak pernah layan saya elok-elok. Cakap pun asyik berkasar je. So i was quite taken aback when everyone is saying that he actually like and care for me. Macam culture shock tau. Like Rees Aiden really did?"
"Aiden was the most egoic man I ever met. Aiden is so clueless when it came to love. And that explain everything. Aiden terlalu ego nak mengaku yang dia suka you Husna. And he never realized yang dia sebenarnya ada perasaan dekat you. He just realised it bila you nak tinggalkan dia. He look really scared with the idea you leaving him. Aiden became restless bila you kata you nak move on. Aiden, dia bukan tak kisah pasal you. He just took your presence for granted because he never expected that you will eventually stop liking him someday. So bila you decide nak move on. It's really hit him hard. Really hard. I never seen him became so restless"
"Still even you dah cerita semua ni dekat saya Fer, Saya masih susah nak percaya" jawabku jujur. Walaupun dah berkali Ferlina cuba yakinkan yang nama aku sudah lama menempah tempat di hati abang Rees, tetap otak dan hati aku masih nak pertikai kan segala yang aku dengar dari Ferlina.
"Urmm. How I do put this. You were... urm you were like a beautiful poem to him, Husna. It's just that... Aiden read it too late because he's afraid that is not the right thing to do." Ferlina senyum pada aku sambil mengangguk kepala bila melihat riak ragu-ragu di wajah aku. Tangan aku di tepuk perlahan.
"You never wonder kenapa Aiden tak pernah strictly said no to you bila you cakap you suka dia macam mana dia tegasnya kata no untuk semua perempuan? He let you pestering him around. Because he like it. He never felt that your presence is a nuisance to him like what others girl did to him. He like it with you being around him. Never wonder why he let you call him Rees instead of Aiden like he told everyone to?"
Bila Ferlina usulkan tentang panggilan untuk abang Rees. Baru aku rasa nak terfikir. Sebelum ini aku tak pernah rasa pelik pun. Sebab sepanjang aku kenal abang Rees berapa puluh tahun ni. Aku dengar orang sekeliling aku panggil abang Rees tu Rees. Bila masuk U baru aku dengar orang panggil abang Rees, Aiden. Sebabtu kawan aku selalu tanya kenapa aku terlalu tersasul panggil Dr Rees dan bukannya Dr Aiden. Aku tak pernah jumpa kawan abang Rees. Jadi aku memang tak tahu selain dari family abang Rees. orang lain panggil abang Rees apa. Ferlina adalah kawan abang Rees yang pertama aku kenal. So aku memang rasa normal panggil abang Rees. Dan aku rasa Ferlina tu istimewa untuk abang Rees sebab dia panggil abang Rees Aiden. Ye lah bagi aku aku ingat panggilan normal Rees. So bila Ferlina panggil abang Rees Aiden. Aku cemburu. Tapi aku baru tahu yang rupanya panggilan aku lagi istimewa. Eheks!
