“Life is too short to be unhappy. I smiled because I’ve known sadness for a
long time.”
Pemilik mata hazel itu berkata-kata. Ya masih senyum. Masih manis.
Masih buat aku tertanya-tanya.
“sounds so cliche right. Well, life’s tough.. Comparing to..
What? Haha..”
Ketawa. Suara serak itu. Mata berkaca itu. Menangiskah kau
wahai gadis?
“Smiling on the outside, dying alone in the inside” kataku
sinis. Sengaja mahu lihat jawapan apa
yang boleh dia balas.
“ At least I still have the strength to smile.”
“The sooner you realize that things would never be the same
again, the easier it will worked out for you”
“I used to hide, but I am tired of doing that. Don’t you?”
“Nobody can make you
happy, unless you yourself choose to be happy.
I believe in faith. I think your religion teaches you to have faith too.
Right? There’s always be sunshine. Why filled up your heart with hatred and
sadness? It will get you nowhere.”
Panjang celotehnya. Setiap
kata yang keluar, umpama memang ditujukan tepat padaku. Apa kau ahli sihir yang
mampu membaca raut muka? Dia Kadang terbatuk
kecil. Dia menekup mulut. Perit benar gayanya.
‘Are you okay?” muka
pucat lesi itu kelihatan letih. Ada titis peluh kecil di dahi. Sakitkah kamu
wahai si manis?
“never better” masih senyum.
“hey..” suara manis itu menegur.
“yes ?”
“everyone ends up being alone.” Dia menghembus nafas berat. Kemudian senyum
lagi.
“I wish I could see life from your beautiful eyes “ aku
maksudkan setiap kata aku. kau buat aku tersenyum
“ Well unfortunately I could not see. Not in the past 10
years. I'm visually impaired. I lost my vision in a car crash 10 years ago. ”
“because of that, I started to listen. You should try that
too” dia senyum
“listen..’ bisikku perlahan.
“I am Zul, what’s your name sweetheart?” lupa pula aku
hendak tanyakan namanya.
“I am Lisa.. Lisa who listens”
Aku tinggalkan si gadis. Dia masih merenung ke luar. Menghirup kopi
panas, senyumannya mengiringi langkahku pergi.
