Hari itu, dia berjalan tanpa arah di tengah
kesibukan kota London. Dia hanya mampu melakukan itu sepanjang hari ini. Cukup
sukar untuk mengusir rasa pedih yang menghuni hati ini. Rasa pedih yang cukup
sukar untuk ditafsirkan dan dimengerti oleh sesiapa pun. Betapa jauhnya dia
berjalan pun, hati ini masih lagi terluka hinggakan kalau ditoreh dengan pisau
yang tajam pun tidak membawa makna apa-apa. Memori lalu mengimbau lagi.
Saat-saat gembira dengan si dia, ketika pertama kali pertemuan dengan si dia
dan saat terakhir pertemuan dengan si dia yang merubah hidupnya 360 darjah.
Daripada seseorang yang ceria kepada seseorang yang murung. Sudah seminggu
dirinya begini hinggakan rakan-rakannya risau akan keadaan dirinya. Sepatutnya
seminggu ini menjadi antara minggu yang paling gembira untuknya kerana dia
sudah merancang segalanya untuk menghabiskan masa dengan si dia yang tersayang. Sanggup dia tak balik
ke Malaysia ketika winter break semata-mata nak datang London biarpun jarak
antara Scotland tak ada lah jauh mana dengan London. Walaupun setelah hatinya
remuk dihancurkan, entah kenapa dia masih lagi berada di kota London yang penuh
dengan kenangan pahit. Kalau mengikut logic, sepatutnya dia patut meninggalkan
bumi London ini sedari dulu lagi tetapi sebaliknya yang dipilih. Mungkin kali
ini dia patut mengikut kata hatinya.
Mungkin juga dia tidak
mampu untuk berdepan dengan sesiapa yang mengenali dirinya apabila pulang
kembali ke Scotland. Sungguh dia memerlukan masa untuk memastikan dirinya
betul-betul stabil untuk berhadapan dengan semua orang. Mungkin juga dengan
kesibukan kota London ini mampu untuk mengusir sedikit sebanyak perasaan yang
tidak enak bertamu di hati ini. Sungguhpun sesiapa yang menghadapi situasi
seperti dirinya,tentu tidak mudah untuk mengharungi seorang diri. Tiada lagi
seri di mukanya kerana terlalu banyak menangis. Menangis adalah satu-satu
perkara yang mampu dilakukan oleh dirinya ketika ini. Someone she dearly loves broke
her heart. Not only broke but shattered them into pieces until she can’t stand
on her own feet.
Tanpa dia sedari,
kakinya sudah membawa dirinya ke Hyde Park yang terkenal dalam kalangan
Londoners. Kalau difikirkan, jauh juga dirinya berjalan. Rasanya tadi berada di
Oxford Square. Sampai jugak dia di Hyde Park tanpa bantuan sesiapa. Seawal pagi
tadi dia keluar hinggakan rakannya berasa risau dengan keadaan dirinya. Ketika
dia berada di London, dia menumpang di rumah rakannya ketika sama-sama menuntut
di INTEC. Mujur ramai rakan-rakannya yang belajar di London, jadi tidak sukar
bagi dirinya yang tidak mengetahui apa-apa tentang jalan di kota London ini.
Tanpa dia sedari, waktu sudah menginjak ke petang. Begitu cepat rasanya,
mungkin disebabkan sekarang sudah menghampiri musim sejuk, jadi waktu siang
menjadi sungguh singkat. Dia ingin menghabiskan masa untuk menghirup udara di
Hyde Park yang dingin dan sungguh segar sekali. Kalau boleh walaupun sesaat dia
tidak ingin memikirkan masalah yang dialaminya tapi diri ini tidak mampu.
Titisan air mata laju menuruni pipinya yang mulus itu. Dia tak mampu menahan
air mata itu daripada jatuh. Sungguh dia tidak ingin menjadi perempuan selemah
ini. Perempuan yang lemah hanya kerana seorang lelaki.
Sedari tadi dia
memandang gadis yang bertentangan dengannya hinggakan dia terfikir apakah
masalah yang dihadapi oleh gadis itu sehinggakan dia Nampak begitu sedih. Sudah
sejam dia berada di situ dan sudah sejam jugak dia memerhatikan gadis tadi.
Titisan air mata membasahi pipinya daripada tadi. Entah kenapa dia terasa
bagaikan kakinya digam agar terus berada di situ memerhatikan si dia
sehinggakan hatinya juga berasa sakit melihat keadaan si dia. Pada permulaanya,
dia hanya mahu menjadi penunggu setia di situ tetapi apabila dia ternampak ada
seorang pemuda tanpa sengaja melanggar gadis itu membuatkan dirinya terasa
terpanggil untuk menolong gadis itu.
“watch out young man!
you better watch your way then.”
“I’m sorry sir. I
did’nt see your girlfriend back then.
Did your girlfriend hurts?
“okay. No problem.
Luckily she did’nt hurt anywhere.”
Kelibat pemuda itu
semakin menghilang. Wajah gadis di hadapannya dipandang tetapi wajahnya kosong
tidak berperasaan bagaikan kejadian tadi tidak pernah berlaku sekalipun.
“are you okay miss, did
you hurt anywhere?”
“my body might not hurt
but my heart is so hurt until it want to explode.”
Tangisan si gadis
semakin kuat hingga menarik perhatian semua orang yang berada di sekeliling
hinggakan ada beberapa orang mak cik dan pak cik yang berjalan-jalan di situ
memarahinya. Mungkin mereka ingatkan disebabkan dirinya, gadis itu menangis.
“shame on you young
man! You better apologize to your girl”
“where are your manner
young man? Take care of your girl. She such a sweet lady.”
“she’s keeper!!”
Entah kenapa semua
orang di sekeliling menganggap gadis di hadapan adalah teman wanitannya
hinggakan ada yang sanggup meminjamkan gitar mereka agar aku dapat memujuk si
gadis di hadapan aku sekarang ini tapi masalahnya dia bukan teman wanita aku
dan namanya pun aku tak tahu. Nak pujuk dia lagilah aku tak tahu macam mana.
“take this dude. use
this to woo your girl back.”
“but I don’t know what
song to sing. Any idea?
“anything she like is
okey.”

Semakin kuat pulak
tangisan si gadis di hadapan aku ni. Aku menjadi panic hinggakan aku tidak tahu
nak buat apa lagi.
“what can I do? She
still crying. I’m finished for sure.”
“try this song. Who
knows she’ll like this. Do you know I’ll be?”
“I ‘m not sure I
remember but I’ll try.”
“so, it’s good. Try
sing this song.”
The strands in your eyes that color
them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath.
And emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky
Never revealing their depth.
Tell me that we belong together,
Dress it up with the trappings of love.
I'll be captivated,
I'll hang from your lips,
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above.
I'll be your crying shoulder,
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older,
I'll be the greatest fan of your life.
And rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed.
You're my survival, you're my living proof.
My love is alive and not dead.
Tell me that we belong together.
Dress it up with the trappings of love.
I'll be captivated,
I'll hang from your lips,
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
And I've dropped out, I've burned up, I've fought my way back from the dead.
I've tuned in, turned on, remembered the things that you said
I'll be your crying shoulder,
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older,
I'll be the greatest fan of your...
I'll be your crying shoulder,
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older,
I'll be the greatest fan of your life.
The greatest fan of your life.
...greatest fan of your life.
Stop me and steal my breath.
And emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky
Never revealing their depth.
Tell me that we belong together,
Dress it up with the trappings of love.
I'll be captivated,
I'll hang from your lips,
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above.
I'll be your crying shoulder,
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older,
I'll be the greatest fan of your life.
And rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed.
You're my survival, you're my living proof.
My love is alive and not dead.
Tell me that we belong together.
Dress it up with the trappings of love.
I'll be captivated,
I'll hang from your lips,

I'll be your crying shoulder,
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older,
I'll be the greatest fan of your life.
The greatest fan of your life.
...greatest fan of your life.
Luckily she stop crying or I might get a headache for thinking what
method to stop her from crying. Luckily too because once time my little sister
force me to sing and remember this song to her after she head over heels with
this song after she watch A Cinderella Story. Who knows this song can be useful
for today to stop a girl from crying out loud.
“so miss, any better now?”
“I’m better now. Thank you for made my day. You are such a sweet man and
your voices too and rare species to find. Bless your mother for raising you in
such a good manner.
“thank you for your praised but I’m just trying to help you. If you
don’t mind, you can tell your stories. I’m a good listener.”
“thanks for your concern but I did’nt ready to tell anyone yet. I’m
sorry.”
“naa.. it’s okay.”
“I better go now or I will miss the bus. Nice to meet you by the way
Knight in shining sweatshirts.”
“what you say miss?”
“miss!!”
