Melbourne International Airport
“Good
morning, ladies and gentlemen. This is a pre-boarding announcement for
passengers of ABC Airlines on flight number 457A to Rome.”
“We
would like to invite those passengers with small children and any passengers
who require special assistance to start boarding first.”
“ Please have your boarding pass and
identification ready. Regular boarding will start in approximately in ten
minutes. Thank you.”
Click clack,
click clack, click clack…
Kelihatan
seorang wanita berjalan di kawasan ruangan menunggu di Lapangan Terbang
Antarabangsa Melbourne, Australia.
“It’s
time..i guess”, murmurnya sendirian.
Lirik matanya
melihat pemandangan di luar tingkap kaca. Kelihatan pemandangan malam yang
indah dihiasi dengan cahaya lampu yang tidak terkira bilangannya.
Indah…sehinggakan dia seakan tidak mahu mengalihkan pandangannya ke tempat
lain.
Beberapa hari
sebelumnya..
“Take
some time off miss. You have worked hard enough. At this rate, you will
collapse and die! And whose fault’s going to be when it happen then?”,
kata Julie dengan raut wajah yang penuh dengan kerisauan.
“I
know Julie, but you know I can’t rest yet. If only I can find the last piece,
if only..then I can..rest..probably”,
kata Ahran dengan wajah yang muram.
Kedua tangan
yang tadi kelihatan bersahaja kini mencengkam kuat gaun hospital yang
dipakainya. Baru beberapa jam yang lalu Ahran ditemui pengsan di dalam
pejabatnya dan sekaligus menimbulkan kekacauan di kalangan para pekerja.
“Arghh,
and Julie..you don’t have to admit me to the hospital. It was a simple
migraine”, kata Ahran sambil berbaring di atas
katil.
“Says
who miss? Forget it, now I’m gonna go outside for a while. By the way, your
phone has been ringing non-stop. Pick it up if it ring again”.
“What
the?”..
Ahran memandang
telefon yang berada di atas meja.
“Hmm..”
Tick tock, tick
tock, tick tock…
Bunyi jam
berdetik memenuhi ruangan bilik pesakit vip itu.
“Hmm,
jangan-jangan..”
Bzzz..bzzzz..bzzzzz…
Belum sempat
Ahran menghabiskan kata-katanya, telefon bimbit tersebut mulai berbunyi
menandakan ada panggilan.
“Incoming
call? Wait a minute, Leo?”
Click..
“Leo?”
“Finally,
where have you been? I have been trying to reach you for hours Ahran”
“I’m
sorry Leo, something happened but I’m alright now.”
“What?
Did that old geezers disturb you again?
“Nah,
it’s not about them, I’m just a little bit busy. What’s up?”
“Oh
okay. Guess what Ahran, I found it”
“Found
what?”
“Hah..the
last piece of course! Trust me, it’s real this time. Looks like we have to go there
as soon as possible.”
“The
last piece”…
Seperti yang
dikatakan Leo, kami sangat memerlukan clue terakhir ini. Jikalau bukan kerana
wasiat yang ditinggalkan oleh Auntie Maria, mana mungkin kami dapat mencari
“the last piece” secepat ini.
“Where
is it Leo? I have to see it with my own eyes”
“It’s
in …………..”
“Alright,
I’ll see you there Leo. By the way, where are you now?”
“
Still here, someone want to play pranks on me. Might as well have fun before
meeting you sis!”
“Always
be careful Leo. You know I only have you right?”
“Of
course! Only you and I know what we have to go through to get this far. I won’t
get myself killed at least!”
“You
little..Fine, get your ass there or else I’ll kill you! Don’t make me wait
okay. Got it?”
“Yeah,
got it sis, gonna go now! Bye!”
“This boy..tak
pernah buat orang tak risau..”
Ahran berjalan
menghampiri tingkap sambil mengurut kepalanya yang masih terasa sakit akibat migraine
tadi.
“The
last piece..you’re mine. If I can’t get it, I might stole it. None of that
makes any differences though since you’re originally mine.”
