Bab 81: Adakah Dia Akan Percaya?

Dari perspektif ni, rupa Amy kena pukul tu memang nampak jelas. Tapi, **Benjamin Walker** percaya ke?" "Masa ni, seluruh muka **Benjamin Walker** macam ais, satu badan dia diselubungi kegelapan macam baru keluar dari neraka, sapa-sapa yang datang sini mesti menggigil tak tentu pasal." "Pandangan dia, macam obor yang menyala, jatuh kat badan **Martina Martinez**, langsung takde mesra." "Tengok rupa dia sekarang, macam nak bela **Amy** dalam masa terdekat." "**Martina Martinez** sinis, bibir dia terjungkit sikit, langsung tak harap apa-apa dari **Benjamin Walker**." "Ya, aku buat, aku pukul dia. Kau nak buat apa?" **Martina Martinez** mengaku dengan sengaja tanpa rasa bersalah." "Dah memang dia cuma nak buat **Benjamin Walker** benci dia, jadi baik dia setelkan semua benda ni sekali gus." "Lepas cakap macam tu, **Martina Martinez** pejam mata dengan hampa, macam dah tak nak pandang **Benjamin Walker** dah. Tak payah fikir pun, dia dah boleh agak macam mana rupa kejadian lepas ni." "**Elena Rodríguez** marah, mungkin fikir **Benjamin Walker** akan sokong **Amy** tanpa syarat. Dalam fikiran dia, dia dah tanda banyak “X” untuk **Benjamin Walker**; lelaki macam ni memang tak berbaloi." "Nasib baik, kawan dia dah buat keputusan untuk bertenang. Kalau tak, duduk dengan lelaki macam dia memang akan bawa padah." "**Elena Rodríguez** berdiri rapat bahu-membahu dengan **Martina Martinez**, walaupun dia takut, dia tetap berdiri teguh." "Ada rasa yang kuat, kalau **Benjamin Walker** berani buat hal, dia akan lawan balik sekuat tenaga dia." "**Benjamin Walker** bijak, macam mana dia tak boleh nampak semua ni?" "Jadi dalam mata **Martina Martinez**, dia betul-betul tak percaya kat diri sendiri dan percaya yang **Benjamin Walker** akan pilih orang lain tanpa syarat?" "Pandangan **Benjamin Walker** makin gelap. Betapa teruknya tindakan dia sebelum ni sampai bagi **Martina Martinez** salah faham macam tu?" "Masa **Amy** pun fikir yang **Benjamin Walker** akan tolong dia tanpa syarat, keadaan tiba-tiba berubah teruk. Dia tanya, "Sakit ke?"" "Tak sangka, lepas dengar perkataan tu, **Martina Martinez** kelip mata dalam kebingungan dan buka mata dia. Dia nampak **Benjamin Walker** berdiri betul-betul depan dia, jarak diaorang cuma sikit je. Rasa macam sentuhan lembut boleh bawa diaorang masuk ke dalam pelukan." "**Martina Martinez** secara tak sedar undur setengah langkah ke belakang, menusuk jauh ke dalam hati **Benjamin Walker**." "**Benjamin Walker** berniat nak sentuh tapak tangan **Martina Martinez** dengan tangan dia, tapi tiba-tiba beku kat situ." ""Memandangkan kau ambil berat, cepat-cepatlah bawa dia balik, supaya aku tak payah pukul dia lagi teruk nanti," **Martina Martinez** pandang **Benjamin Walker** dengan sindiran dan cakap. "Ini adik perempuan abang kau, bakal puteri yang dipilih oleh mak kau. Jangan bagi aku rosakkan dia."" "Hati **Elena Rodríguez** lagi sakit, dan dia secara automatik pegang tangan **Martina Martinez** kuat-kuat. Berapa banyak tekanan dah **Martina Martinez** tanggung sampai terpaksa jadi macam ni?" "Dia tak nak pun penjelasan yang paling asas. Walaupun dia dah disalah faham oleh **Benjamin Walker** selama ni, adakah dia rela terima semua ni?" "Lepas **Martina Martinez** habis cakap dan undur setengah langkah ke belakang, dia pegang tangan **Elena Rodríguez** dan berniat nak pergi. Apa pun, dia tak nak libatkan kawan baik dia." "Tapi dalam masa terdekat, **Benjamin Walker** berdiri teguh depan **Martina Martinez** lagi, tanpa ragu-ragu, pegang tangan **Martina Martinez** yang lagi satu. "Aku tanya kau, tangan kau sakit ke?"" "Masa tu, semua orang terkejut." "**Martina Martinez** tak percaya telinga dia sendiri. Dia tak pernah bayangkan yang satu hari nanti **Benjamin Walker** akan tanya dia dengan sikap macam tu, sama ada tangan dia sakit lepas pukul orang." "**Amy** masih beku kat tempat dia, tak percaya semua yang dia dengar. Air mata menitik, macam dia sekali lagi dianiaya! "**Benjamin Walker**... Kau baru tanya apa kat dia? Dia pukul aku, tolak aku sampai jatuh. Macam mana tangan dia boleh sakit?" Dia cakap, hancur hati." "Dia fikir, tak kisah apa pun, **Benjamin Walker** akan tunjuk rasa kasihan dan ambil kira demi **Adam** , tapi malangnya, hasil akhir mengecewakan." "Dia tak peduli nak pandang **Amy** lebih dari sekali, dan cakap lagi seolah-olah nak jelaskan, "**Amy** bukan teman wanita aku. Aku takde kena mengena dengan fikiran orang lain. Aku datang sini bukan untuk sesiapa."" "Cakap perkataan kejam macam tu depan **Amy** macam kena guruh, walaupun orang yang tak malu pun akan rasa tak tertahan. Dia rasa macam hati dia dah berkecai sepenuhnya masa tu." "Kenapa? Kenapa **Benjamin Walker** tiba-tiba berubah drastik macam tu? Kenapa dia boleh jadi kejam sangat kat dia sebab **Martina Martinez**?" "Walaupun **Martina Martinez** naif, dia akhirnya faham maksud di sebalik perkataan tu; dia cuma tak nak percaya. Mengejutkan, **Benjamin Walker** pilih untuk berdiri belakang dia dan sokong dia buat kali pertama tanpa syarat." "**Elena Rodríguez** macam kena beku dengan kesejukan yang datang dari **Benjamin Walker**, tak boleh nak keluarkan sepatah kata pun. Akhirnya, dia mengalah je, rasa bukan sebab dia takut, tapi sebab dia tak nak jadi orang ketiga." "**Leslie Wonder** betul-betul terkejut. Dia tak sangka bos akan muncul masa ni. Tapi dia tak pernah bayang yang sebaik je bos sampai, dia akan sokong **Martina Martinez**, pergi sokong dia tanpa syarat. Keadaan **Amy** langsung tak penting bagi **Leslie Wonder**, dia cuma ambil berat tentang orang yang diatur oleh bos." "**Simon Lee** diam-diam ikut belakang. Baru-baru ni, dia dah saksikan terlalu banyak benda pelik, sampai ke satu tahap, walaupun benda luar biasa jadi depan mata dia sekarang, dia boleh terima dengan berat hati." "Bukan ke bos dekati **Martina Martinez** dengan rela hati dan siap pujuk dia dengan sikap macam tu? Apa masalahnya?" "Semua orang mesti tahu sekarang betapa pentingnya kedudukan **Martina Martinez** dalam hati bos. Memang normal bos buat benda macam tu." "**Martina Martinez** belah bibir dia, tapi ledakan emosi yang dijangka akan membawa air mata ke mata dia tak jadi kenyataan. Sebaliknya, dia rasa jijik dan berhati-hati, tarik balik tangan dia." "Dia tak boleh nak fikir apa yang **Benjamin Walker** buat sekarang dan apa helah yang dia guna. Dulu dia sangat tak peduli dengan dia, dan sekarang dia betul-betul lain. Buat dia rasa sesaat yang dia mungkin sayang dia." "Tapi hakikatnya, **Martina Martinez** jelas yang orang dengan personaliti **Benjamin Walker** cuma akan sayang diri sendiri. Walaupun dia salah faham dia sekarang, itu cuma salah faham yang takkan ubah apa-apa." "Macam mana **Benjamin Walker** tiba-tiba berubah hati dan pandang balik kat dia, atau siap jatuh cinta dengan dia?" "Kalau benda macam tu jadi, dia dah bukan **Benjamin Walker** lagi." "Pandangan **Benjamin Walker** berubah dan berubah lagi, dan ada kesan kehangatan **Martina Martinez** yang masih tinggal kat hujung jari dia, buat semua ni rasa tak real." " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " "
