“spill.” Nini menoleh memandang Abang.

“where’s the salam?” Nini menanggalkan kacamatanya. Buku latihan pelajar-pelajarnya ditinggalkan seketika. From Abang’s tone, she knows that it meant business.

“we’ve been listening to each other past these years.. I’ve shared about my despair and such with you before mUmmy and Babah.. I’ve told you about Kak Tasya before I told Mummy and Babah.. and I”

“I’m really sorry.. but Nini memang tak rasa yang I need to tell you about him..”

“you’ve hurt me, Sunshine..” Nini mengeluh.

“abang.. he’s nobody. Kami berkenalan apabila kereta kami berlanggar..” wajah abang berubah.

“I mean, berselisih..” barulah Abang nampak tenang, namun wajah itu memang meminta cerita. “okay.. I’ll spill everything.. just promise me, jangan buat apa-apa spekulasi..”


Abang tertawa mendengar cerita adiknya. Nampak seperti pertemuan mereka telah dirancang dengan baik oleh ALLAH.

“it’s a destiny, Nini..”

“no it’s not.. I’ve told you that he has a lady.. and that lady is 500 way more beauty than I am..”

“you’re pretty..”

“am not..”

“all of GOD’s creation are pretty..” Nini terdiam. Abang melangkah merapati adiknya.


“Nini.. everything that happened was an unmei.. there’s no such gozen happened in this world.. isn’t that what Yuuko’ve told Watanuki?” Abang merujuk kepada anime xxxHolic. Nini tergelak.

“abang ni! Abang dah berjangkit dengan Nini la.. kalau cakap mesti nak kaitkan dengan manga, Jdrama, Kdrama, and anime la..”

“don’t change the subject..” Abang memberi amaran. Nini tersengih.

“but seriously Abang? Could we just drop the subject? I don’t know him.. he doesn’t know me. Titik. End of discussion. Out you go, Abang, I need to check my students’ homework..” Nini berkata tanda ingin menamatkan perbualan.

“if it’s what you said..” Abang mengalah.
