I made this video because I think this song is very simple yet it has a deep meaning in it. 
Hope you would enjoy it too! It won't take long! I'm sorry if the video looks dull because this is my first time doing it. Yeah, amateur style! I presents you, "Our Path Of Love"! 

Elusive ~

“Elusive is something or someone that is difficult to find, describe, remember or achieve.”

First love is something everyone has.

The first love left a deep feeling on them.

Some might have flowers bloom until the end.

Some might have the flowers wilt and died.

I remember my first love.

I called it “The Rain”.

Rain could come pouring without notice.

It may be a heavy rain or just a drizzle.

People with weak antibodies might get sick by this rain.

Love is just like this rain.

Could come from anywhere and everyway.

And I fear this rain.

I’m afraid of this “rain”.

Once you get it, it’s really hard to get better.

Especially if a great pain comes with it.

However, when you get better, you felt so good.

`Cause you knew how it feels when you get hit by this “rain”.

The “rain” sometimes brings just a temporary pain.

But sometimes it might last forever.

I once suffered this “rain”.

I really hoped that I’ll never get hit by this “rain”.

But I can’t help it.

This “rain” let the flowers bloom.

Then the flowers dropped its petals, wilted and died.

On the half way it gave me pains.

“During that time, I sleep with tears, I smile with lies,

I suffered something called pain,

Somehow, I lost the love, to love and to fate.

However, I gained,

The memories,

The feelings of losing someone I loved,

Another chance to love and to be loved by someone else,

And experienced love once in my life”.

I took a long time to recover from this “rain”.

However, I’m glad I fall sick and learnt how to overwhelm it.

This “rain” taught me a good lesson.

But I keep wishing that one day I’ll get hit by the right “rain”.

`Cause God will give the “rain” to the one who’s really searching for it.

* * * * * *

I lost it.

I can’t find it anywhere.

I keep on searching but I still couldn’t find it.

I lost you.

I can’t find you anywhere.

I keep on searching but I still couldn’t find you.

Where are my mistakes?

Where are you?

Luckily, I found my mistakes.

There are lying beneath the heart.

I saw my mistakes.

I look deep into them and I realized.

I left you when you need me.

I forget how you love me.

I never know your heart.

I walk away without turning back to you.

I pretend that I’m not the reasons why those tears are flowing down your face.

That’s my mistakes.

I found it.

But I couldn’t find you anymore.

You’re going far away from me.

I wish that I’m always by your side.

I wish I remember how you loved me.

I wish I knew your heart.

I hope that I turned back when I’m about to leave you.

I hope that I’m not the reasons for those tears.

That’s what I wish to be.

* * * * * *

I remember it.

The face I saw just now.

The face that I had forgot.

The face that had gave me those scars.

As I see it, the scars start bleeding again.

It bleeds and it really hurts.

The person with that face is someone that I used to love.

I used to say how grateful I am to have you.

How happy I am when I see you smile.

And now I’m glad that you left me.

You left me without telling me why.

You walk away without thinking twice.

You keep on going even though I yelled and cried.

How many times I need to lose to make you satisfied?

How many times I waited but you never come?

How many times you lied and faking those smiles?

I remember how you used to be.

But I forgot why I fall for you in the first place.

* * * * * *

How can I describe you?

From which part should I describe about you?

Let me begin with your brain.

You got quite an IQ.

You passed everything and made it look so easy.

But when it comes to love, you got zero.

`Cause you used your brain more than you used your heart.

In everything logic comes first to you.

“Why did you like me?”

“It’s impossible! It doesn’t make sense!”

“I got nothing compared to the one who had everything.”

These questions came to you.

Logics beat the heart.

“Why can’t you accept the fact that I love you with the brain you got there?”

About your face,

Since beauty is subjective,

I guess you’re not bad.

I can’t say more since I like you not because of your look.

“I love you no matter how you look.”

The attitude you got there,

You got some manners and sometimes you act emotionally.

You show what you felt.

You keep on trying without giving up.

You work hard to achieve what you want.

“That’s why I love you.”

* * * * * *

(walking down the beach) Do you remember how we used to play here? We would run from here to there and everywhere. (smiled)

(staring at the girl)

Why?

Why did you come back?

These shells keep on staying here don’t you think?

Things change. It doesn’t last forever.

Yeah. You’re right. But this breeze is just like before. I really like it. (taking off her shoes) Let’s play! (running along the beach)

(walking towards the girl)

I just got back and you treat me like this? So unfair . . . (smiled)

You left and I sent you off . . .  and now you came back. What are you looking for?

I’m looking for you! (giggles) Do you know . . . Ouch!

(getting the girl) Are you okay?

Seems these shells had become so harsh to me . . .

You’re bleeding! (grabbing her foot)

I’m okay.

Let me take you home. We need . . .

It’s okay. It doesn’t hurt at all.

Stay still!

I want you back.

(checking her foot) Let me see if. . .

Return to me. I want you back.

You were hurt! Stay still!

This cut doesn’t hurt me at all!!! You’re the one that’s hurting me. Why don’t you answer me?

(speechless)

We never had officially break right?

(leaving the girl)

This time I’ll never leave! It’s not even my faults that we broke up! You’re the one who’s leaving me! And now you’re leaving me too!

* * * * * *

Please look back at me,

I’m next to you,

Turn your head and look at me.

You only look somewhere else,

As you always have,

You only look far away.

Watching you loving him and living that way,

Do you know that’s my way of loving you?

My heart is aching,

Just watching you,

Not having you,

It’s like a part of me,

I’m so used to it,

That I don’t even know it hurts.

Even though I’m tearing,

Even though I can’t even speak,

I need to smile.

It’s like a part of me,

In front of you I love you like a fool.

Pretending I don’t know,

Pretending it’s not true,

Pretending I didn’t see,

Everyday I met you and secretly learnt to love you.

I’m longing for you,

I want only to reach out to you,

I want only to embrace you,

After being unable to even say the words “I love you”.

* * * * * *

If I approach she turns and runs,

If I look at her she just looks at the sky,

Does she not know how I feel or is she doing this on purpose?

Only time keeps on going by.

Even if she just passes me by,

Even if I try to act like I didn’t notice,

Like a river in my heart, is she a rainbow?

I would run to her,

I would fly to her,

If she came into my heart,

Even if she doesn’t run like a child,

Even if she didn’t leave like a butterfly,

If she only stayed like that for a long time,

Like the rivers’ water going along.

I would run to her,

I would fly to her,

If only she would come into my heart.

* * * * * *

We Gave It All

Did you know?

Among the girls I ever dated, you’re the hard one.

To me, you’re complicated. You’re not simple at all.

You’re very difficult to me.

And you’re not even my ideal girl.

But strangely, I could not resist you.

Just like the drugs, I’m addicted to you.

And like the magnets, you stick to me.

You’re really hard for me.

To have you, my pride is on the line.

I lost my ego. And even myself.

Thinking of losing you makes me crazy.

Missing you is something that I need to bear sometimes.

However, I knew. . . I’m not easy for you.

I broke your heart over and over again.

I left you at the time when you really need me the most.

I’m sorry. . .

For breaking all the promises I gave to you.

For being the one who gave you those tears.

For giving you too much pain.

For keep saying sorry when I knew I will keep giving you pain.

Sadly, I wish for you to have faith on me.

Stick to me, just like the magnets.

Never “repel” me away.

`Cause I would never let you go.

I would never make any promises as I might break them.

I could not say “I will” as I might not and only give you tears and pain.

But one thing for sure,

The “happily-ever-after” will eventually come to us.

* * * * * *

I love you the most as I think I might die without you.

However, I denied it all.

How could I become so numb?

I asked you to leave when what I want is for you to stay.

I yelled, “why are you even here?!” when I felt so happy that you came.

I said I don’t need anyone when the person I really need is you.

I cried I don’t love you and regretting it now. . .

* * * * * *

A few days ago, you’re my girl.

And a few days later, I wish I had you.

You hoped that I could change.

You gave me many chances to stay.

But I waste it all.

I should have changed.

I should have stayed.

I should have realized.

Life without you is not the same.

* * * * * *

“I was over everything.”

“I thought I took care of it all, one by one.”

Something must have gotten into my eyes,

That’s why tears keep falling,

Hidden safely in one part of my heart,

The tears are bringing that person back,

Even if you can’t hear me,

Even if you can’t hear my heart,

Maybe someday you’ll listen to my heart,

What my tears are saying.

“I’m not over you at all.”

Because you’re mine,

Because you’re my love,

Even if I keep sending you away,

You’re still here, making me cry.

Because you’re my love,

You’re still the one.

I can’t stop these foolish tears.

* * * * * *

(calling the girl) Where are you? I have been here for hours.

I’m sorry. I don’t think I will come.

What?

For me, until this time it has been as far as I can go. I want to wake up and had everything as it has before.

I’m waiting for you to come. I don’t care if I have to. . .

Why are you like this? If you’re just playing, thank you. I have had enough of your game. I have gone through so much and learnt a lot just to live. You probably don’t need to worry about anything since you’re born with silver spoon in your mouth, but I’m not like you. What are you going to do if I really try to get you? So please. Stop now. (hung up the phone)

I’m ready to lose anything and faced everything. You just need to take my hand and come with me.

* * * * * *

You’re joking right? There’s no way . . . that you would like me. There’s no way right?

(sigh) I’m really going crazy!

Perhaps you have feelings for me??? Do you . . . like me?

That’s why I’m going crazy! How am I supposed to do when I think . . . I have feelings for you?

You like me, don’t you?

Yes! I like you . . .

(speechless)

I like you . . . And I think I am crazy for falling for you . . . You! You’re ugly and have bad mannered! You don’t even act like a girl!

(pissed off) Yes! I’m ugly! I have bad manners! I don’t act like I’m a girl! So why did you like me?!

I . . . don’t know . . . That’s why I think I’m losing my sanity!

(sigh) I hope you regain your sanity as soon as possible . . . (walk away)

(following her steps) What about you?! Do you like me?

(stopped and sigh) I don’t have feelings for you . . .

Why???

First of all . . .

What?! There’s a number two?!

You’re so childish! You acted like a six-year-old child! You do things as you wish and never cares for others feeling! You always talked down to other people and think that you’re so almighty!

Did I???

Two! You’re from the conglomerate family! I didn’t wish to mess up with any guy from such family! I’m happy living the way I’m living now! Don’t you ever think what will happen to me if we are getting together? I would be killed because of your status! You and I . . . there’s a big gap between us!

You’re exaggerating . . .

I’m not! I’m just thinking further! And you’re just thinking about yourself! Third! I like you . . . I really, really like you . . . But in professional way. . . I can’t have any further feelings for you . . . I can’t have you in my heart . . .

(loss of words)

To sum it all up, I am really sorry . . . I can’t accept your heart.

No. I won’t take these answers. (leaving the girl)

(getting annoyed) Why?!

(turned around) Does it not worth trying? Does it trouble you so much? Does my love gives you pain?

Yes! I’m in pain! My head hurts! It hurts me so much that I think it might explode! And it does trouble me so much! It’s not worth trying when you know you’ll only get hurt in the end! Your feeling is a problem to me! I can’t let this thing happen to me! Please wake up! Spare me a life!

Please reconsider my feelings . . . I can’t take it if you just throw my heart without thinking twice . . . You just think about this again . . . calmly.

Are you really going to be like this? If you’re acting in this way, I think I can’t work with you.

Then, how am I supposed to act? Having one-sided love is very painful to me. I never felt this way before.

Go back and have a good sleep. In the morning you will realize that this thing is just a mistake made by the heart and regret it soon after you regain your sanity. I’m letting you pass me while you still have the chance.

I’ll get going. You should go in. I’ll see you tomorrow. (smiled) Have a good sleep! I . . . I won’t waver! I really like you! And I will make you reconsider my feelings! (running away)

(sigh) What am I going to do??? He really likes me . . .

How much does it pains to have a love like this?

* * * * * *

Are you okay?

(startled) I’m okay . . . I’m okay . . .Just pretend like you didn’t see me . . .

Are you crying?

No, I’m not . . . I better go.

What’s wrong? Tell me . . . I might not be so helpful . . . but I’ll try my best.

They said things will just slide if we pretend it does not happen. I . . . I tried to think in that way . . . but it won’t disappear. My head keeps thinking about it . . .and . . . and it hurts me. (stuttering)

(staring at the girl)

(tears coming out) I don’t know why . . . but these stupid tears keep coming out . . . What can I do to stop these?

Crying relieved the stress . . .

(tears keep falling)

But sometimes this is more needed . . . (hugging the girl)

(crying out loud)

Don’t smile when you know you’re about to cry.

I’m going to take it back . . .

(patting her back)

I’m really going to take it back . . .

(bitter smile)

I’m going to take back what I had said about never liking him. I’m really going to take it back . . .

You like him right?

(nodding) I like him . . . But now I could never say this to him. He said he’ll forget about me . . . Loving me is very hard for him. Knowing this makes my heart pains.

Just tell him.

How could I do that? I felt so ashamed.

I like you. I said that I will never like you but I lied. I lied when I said I don’t want to be with you.  I lied when I said my heart never fluttered when I see you. It’s all lies. What I really felt is I get jealous when you laugh or cries because of other guy. I felt sad when you left me behind. Knowing you make me learnt what love really is. Loving you makes me feel how pain it is when loving someone that does not have eyes on you.

What . . . do you mean? (sobbing)

Say something like this to him. Let him know. At least you won’t have any regret later.

Thank you . . . You have been so helpful.

I have a shoulder to cry on.

May I ask you something?

Yeah. Ask me.

Do you ever feel this kind of love?

I feel it right now. (smile)

* * * * * *

You’re wandering around me and told me that you love me. One day, things change. You left. Since you have told me everything and left, let me be honest to you.

Huh?

I’ll tell you everything and leave.

(staring at the guy)

Honestly, my heart fluttered a lot when I see you. It pounds like crazy when you’re with me. The butterflies are all over my stomach. With you, everything feels so good. I encouraged myself to take one more step closer to you. But then you told me everything is gone. I was taken aback when you said you don’t love me anymore. Luckily, you left first before I could get any closer.

(stuttering) You . . . love me?

I could get hurt if I keep walking to you. I’m glad that you . . . left. Thank you for letting me knows that nothing will happen in the end. I have told you everything and I will leave.

Do you know why I left?

Why?

`Cause I thought I don’t love you anymore. The heart seems to stop beating for you. But now, it’s losing its pace.

Stanza 1

Cuaca redup dan berangin.Kawasan sekolah kelihatan tenang seperti biasa.Loceng menandakan waktu rehat berdering.Para pelajar segera keluar dari kelas masing2 dan meluru ke kantin mahupun ke mana saja.Namun di dalam salah sebuah kelas di sekolah tersebut,kelihatan seorang pelajar perempuan mendekati kawan perempuannya yang sedang tekun membuat kerja sekolah.

            “Angel,aku nak ke kantin.Lapar laa…Nak ikut?”,kata Ashley sambil membetulkan rambut panjangnya.

            “Oh,tak pelah…Kau pergi jelah…Aku tak lapar…”,jawab Angel yang sibuk meneruskan kerjanya.

            “Betul ni??”

            “Betul…”,kata Angel dengan senyuman.

            “Aku pergi ni..Tak nak pesan apa2 ke?”

            “Tak…Pergi2…Hehe..”.Angel tertawa kecil.

            “Okay…”,jawab Ashley sambil tersenyum lalu keluar dari kelas dan berjalan menuju ke kantin.Angel meneruskan lagi kerjanya.Tidak lama kemudian,seorang pelajar lelaki datang mendekatinya.

            “Budak pintar!Kenapa tak makan?”,soal Ethan.Ethan menarik sebuah kerusi lalu duduk di hadapan meja Angel.

            “Tak lapar laa..Lagi satu,kenapa awak datang ke kelas saya ni??”,kata Angel sambil membuat kerja.

            “Laa..Saya sedar laa saya ni budak kelas bawah,tak layak datang kelas bagus cam ni..”,jawab Ethan dengan nada merajuk.Angel berhenti membuat kerjanya dan memandang wajah Ethan.Ethan tersenyum lalu ketawa.

            “Jangan laa buat muka cam tu..Saya datang sebab saya nak melawat teman wanita saya...Salah ke?”

Angel menunjukkan muka seakan-akan tidak percaya dengan kata2 Ethan.

            “Okay2…petang ni saya ada latihan bola keranjang sampai pukul 3…Tapi…”.Ethan menundukkan kepala lalu mengeluh.

            “Tapi…?”

            “Tapi saya nak balik dengan awak..”,jawab Ethan lalu menongkatkan dagunya di hadapan Angel.

            “Kenapa buat muka macam ni??”,soal Angel sambil mencucuk dahi Ethan menggunakan hujung batang pensel.

            “Tunggu laa saya tamat latihan…Kita balik sama2..ye,Angel??Boleh laa..”.Ethan menggoncang-goncangkan badan Angel sebagai tanda memujuk.Angel tersenyum dan memegang kedua-dua belah pipi Ethan.

            “Tak..Nak…!”

            “Boleh laa..Boleh laa..”,kata Ethan sambil memegang tangan Angel.

            “Saya sibuklah..”,jawab Angel lalu menarik tangannya dari pegangan Ethan.Ethan memeluk tubuhnya dan memandang tajam kearah Angel.

            “Bahaya tau…Balik sorang2…”

            “Tak takut..”.Angel meneruskan kerjanya semula.Ethan tersenyum sinis lalu menarik laju buku latihan Angel.Ethan ketawa puas.

            “Hahaha!Buku ni tebusan saya!Kalau awak tak nak tunggu saya,saya takkan bagi balik buku awak ni!”

Angel dengan geramnya cuba merampas kembali buku latihannya.

            “Ethan!Bagilah balik!Awak ni macam budak2 laa!!”

            “Tak nak!”

            “Bagi balik!!”

Ethan memegang dahi Angel serta mendekatkan mukanya ke muka Angel.

            “Tunggu saya atau lihat buku ni tanggung akibatnya…”

Angel merenung tajam Ethan.

            “Awak takkan berani…”

            “Ye..Saya berani…”,kata Ethan lalu berlari keluar dari kelas Angel.

            “Ethan!!”

            “Angelica William,awak tertangkap!”,jerit Ethan sambil ketawa.Angel mengeluh.

            “Comel betullah korang ni…”,sergah Ashley sambil ketawa kecil.Angel terperanjat.

            “Kau ni..Buat aku terkejut je..”

            “Siapa sangka dari kawan boleh jadi couple..Menangis air mata darah perempuan lain bila dengar Ethan dah dihakmilikkan..”

Angel duduk di kerusinya semula sambil mengemas alat tulisnya.

            “Cerita lama laa..Dah 2 tahun kitorang couple..And yes!Aku tau..Dulu,waktu mula2 couple,semua perempuan jeling aku..Tapi,aku hairan laa..Kenapa diorang suka sangat kat Ethan?Tak bijak..Tak kacak…”

            “Dia kacaklah..Tak bijak tu betul..Hahaha..”,kata Ashley lalu duduk di tempatnya.

            “Ye2..Dia kacak..Tinggi..Tapi yang paling aku suka kat dia,dia kelakar,baik hati dan ambil berat pasal orang lain..Tu yang aku tak dapat nak resist tu..”.Angel tertawa kecil sambil mengeluarkan buku untuk mata pelajaran seterusnya.

            “Okay2..dia memang satu pakej lengkap..”,ujar Ashley sambil ketawa.

Pelajar2 lain mula menyerbu masuk ke kelas.Loceng menandakan waktu rehat tamat berdering.

* * * * * *

Jam menunjukkan pukul 1.30 petang.Angel berjalan menuju ke gelanggang bola keranjang sekolahnya sebaik sahaja selesai mengemas buku2 kerjanya.Kelihatan  kelibat Ethan dan kawan-kawannya yang sedang bersiap sedia untuk memulakan latihan.Angel berjalan mendekati Ethan.

            “Angel!Awak datang jugak!Saya tau awak pasti datang…”,kata Ethan sambil ketawa.Angel meghulurkan tangannya.

            “Bagi balik buku saya…”

            “Tak…sehingga saya tamat latihan..”,jawab Ethan lalu meletakkan sebiji gula2 ke atas tapak tangan Angel dan berlari masuk ke gelanggang..Angel mengeluh.

            “Sejak bila dia ni dah jadi pandai sangat??”

Angel duduk di bangku berhampiran gelanggang itu sambil memerhatikan Ethan menjalani latihannya.Angel mengeluarkan telefon bimbitnya serta menaip sesuatu.

            “Ibu…Angel balik lewat..Ada aktiviti di sekolah..Okay!Sent!”

Salah seorang junior dalam kelab bola keranjang itu datang menghampiri Angel.Junior tersebut mengeluarkan sekuntum bunga melur dan memberikannya kepada Angel.

            “Untuk Kak Angel…”

Angel tersenyum berat.

            “Aaa…Okay..Hehe..Terima kasih..”

            “Kak Angel,Kak Angel tau tak yang Kak Angel ni cantik sangat?Buat hati saya berdegup kencang setiap kali saya memandang Kak Angel..”,kata Junior sambil memegang dadanya.Angel ketawa kecil.

            “Ye ke?Hahaha..comellah awak ni…”

            “Comel??Kak Angel kata saya comel???Saya betul2…”

Tiba2,seseorang datang dan menolak kepala junior tersebut.

            “Kau nak mengorat teman wanita senior kau sendiri ke??”,kata Ethan dengan nada yang keras.

            “Abang Ethan!Tak2!!Saya…Saya…!”

Ethan menolak junior itu ke tepi lalu duduk di sebelah Angel.

            “Kau tu baru 15 tahun..Kitorang ni dah masuk 17 tahun..Jadi,mengoratlah perempuan yang sebaya dengan kau,okay?Pergi2…”

            “Apa salahnya?Cinta tu tak mengira usia..Betul kan??”,celah Angel.

            “Memang betul tu,Kak Angel!Saya setuju!”

Ethan lantas mengetap bibirnya tanda geram.

            “Aishh!Budak!Kau nak mati ke?!Pergi!!”,marah Ethan lalu menendang punggung junior tersebut.Junior itu beredar dengan muka yang tidak berpuas hati.Angel hanya ketawa berdekah-dekah.Ethan memandang Angel.

            “Seronok sangat ke??Lucu sangat ke??”

Angel memegang perutnya dan menahan ketawa.

            “Ye..Seronok sangat..Lucu sangat..”

            “Pepandai dia je cakap awak ni cantik..”,ujar Ethan lalu merenung kearah lain.

            “Kenapa??Saya tak cantik ke?”,soal Angel sambil memerhati raut wajah Ethan.

            “Tak..Awak tak cantik…Awak comel…”

            “Cehh..awak cemburu ke??Takkan laa dengan budak cam tu pun awak nak cemburu?”.Angel mencucuk-cucuk pipi Ethan.

            “Siapa cakap??Tolonglah…”.Ethan melihat bunga yang di pegang oleh Angel. “Aishh!Bunga apa ni?!”,kata Ethan lantas merampas bunga dari tangan Angel.

            “Eh!Bagi balik!Cantiklah bunga tu!”

            “Alah..dia kutip ni kat tepi padang sana tu laa…melambak!”.Angel memandang Ethan sambil tersenyum.Ethan merenung Angel kembali.

            “Kenapa??”

            “Saya suka bila awak macam ni…”

Ethan berdehem.

            “Saya sambung latihan dulu..”kata Ethan lalu meletakkan bunga tersebut di atas kepala Angel dan berlari pergi.

Angel mengambil bunga dari atas kepalanya dan tersenyum.Angel gembira kerana memiliki teman lelaki seperti Ethan.Minit berlalu dan Angel masih duduk menunggu sehingga Ethan selesai menjalani latihannya.

* * * * * *

Angel menunggu Ethan di luar bilik persalinan lelaki.Angel tersenyum sambil membaca mesej2 di dalam telefon bimbitnya.Entah dari mana,junior yang sebelum ini datang lagi mendekati Angel.

            “Kak Angel…”

            “Ahh!Terkejut aku!”

            “Maafkan saya jika saya sudah mengejutkan Kak Angel..Tapi,Kak Angel tau tak yang senyuman Kak Angel membuat jantung saya berdebar-debar?”

Angel kehairanan.

            “Oh,ye ke?Saya tak tau pun…”

Junior tersebut memandang Angel.Angel hanya memandang junior tersebut dengan wajah kehairanan.

            “Comelnya!!”,jerit junior tersebut secara tiba2.

Ethan mendekati mereka lalu segera memusingkan kepala juniornya itu.Juniornya mengaduh.

            “Ah!Ah!!Sakitlah!Abang Ethan!!Ah!Ah!!Sakit2!!”

            “Sakit??Hati aku lagi sakit..Kau ni tak serik2,kan?!”,bentak Ethan dengan pandangan yang tajam.

            “Ethan..sudahlah tu..dia main2 je tu..”.Angel cuba menarik tangan Ethan dari kepala junior tersebut.

            “Kak Angel!Saya serius!Saya tak main2!”

            “Apa?!!”Ethan memusingkan kepala junior itu dengan lebih kuat.Angel sekali lagi cuba meredakan kemarahan Ethan.

            “Ishh..Ethan..Dahlah tu..Anak orang tu..Lepaskan dia…”

Ethan melepaskan kepala juniornya.Junior itu menggosok-gosok lehernya.

            “Ah..Sakitlah..Kalau leher saya cedera,cam mana saya nak main bola keranjang?!”

            “Jangan main!Pergi mengorat je!”.Ethan menarik Angel ke sisinya. “Perempuan ni,aku yang punya!Faham?!”

            “Saya takkan mengalah!!”,kata junior tersebut lalu berlari meninggalkan mereka.Ethan cuba mengejar junior itu namun dihalang oleh Angel.

            “Budak tak guna!!”,marah Ethan.

            “Dahlah..Jom balik..Jangan pedulikan dia..”,pujuk Angel sambil menarik tangan Ethan.Ethan muram dan berdiam diri sahaja.

            “Ethan,saya lapar…”

Ethan tersentak.

            “Awak lapar?!Yelah!Awak tak makan apa2 lagi kan?!Teruknya saya ni!Jom!Kita cari benda yang awak boleh makan!”,kata Ethan lalu menarik tangan Angel dengan segera.Angel tersenyum.

            “Patutlah awak ni makin hari makin kecil dan kurus saya tengok!Macam manalah saya boleh lupa!”

Angel hanya mampu tersenyum memerhatikan Ethan membebel seperti itu.Angel gembira kerana Ethan mengambil berat tentang dirinya dan bersyukur Ethan ada untuknya.

* * * * * *

Angel masuk ke kelasnya,A1seperti biasa.Angel meletakkan begnya di atas kerusi.Ashley datang mendekati Angel.

            “Selamat pagi,Angel!”,ujar Ashley dengan senyuman.

            “Selamat pagi..Ash,Eve dah sampai ke?”

            “Entahlah..Dia kan kelas D4..Manalah aku tau..”

            “Aku nak pulangkan dia buku ni..Hari tu aku nak bagi balik,tapi terlupa pula..”,kata Angel sambil mengeluarkan sebuah buku.Ashley mengambil buku tersebut dari tangan Angel.

            “Puzzle??Buku apa ni??”

Angel mengambil semula buku itu dari pegangan Ashley.

            “Hanya orang yang rajin baca buku je tau..”

            “Okay..”

            “Dahlah..aku nak pergi kelas Eve..”

            “Kejap2!Aku nak ikut!Aku nak jumpa Zaria juga!”,kata Ashley lalu mengikut langkah Angel.Angel dan Ashley bergerak keluar dari kelas mereka menuju ke kelas D4.

            “Yelah..Rasanya kita dah lama tak lepak sama2,kan?Semua orang sibuk prepare untuk ‘Final Exam’ tu,kan?”,keluh Angel.

            “Ha’ah..sekarang ni bulan Mac..Jadi,tinggal 8 bulan je lagi..Takut juga aku..”

Angel tersenyum mendengar kata-kata Ashley sambil melangkah masuk ke kelas Eve.

            “Eve!Zaria!Selamat pagi…!”,laung Ashley lalu berlari ke meja Eve dan Zaria.Sedang Angel berjalan,tiba2 seseorang menghalang laluan Angel menggunakan kakinya.

            “Hai…Baru je jumpa tadi,takkan dah rindu kot..?”,usik Ethan.Angel tersenyum sinis.

            “Alihkan kaki awak..”

            “Ehh…Ni kelas saya..Suka hati sayalah..Awak nak apa jumpa saya ni??”

Angel ketawa sinis.

            “Perasannya awak ni!Siapa cakap saya nak jumpa awak?..”. Angel menjeling ke arah Ethan. “Alihkan kaki awak…”.Ethan tetap bertegas untuk tidak mengalihkan kakinya.

            “Awak tak nak alihkannya?”,kata angel dengan nada yang serius.

            “Okay…”,jawab Ethan lalu mengalihkan kakinya.Angel menjeling tajam lalu berjalan menuju ke meja Eve.

            “Eve,sorrylah…Lambat pulangkan buku ni…”. Angel menghulurkan buku tersebut kepada Eve.

            “Tak de apa2lah…”,jawab Eve lembut.

            “Eve tetap macam dulu..Tak banyak cakap..Zaria pun sama..Tetap macam dulu..Tak berminat dengan lelaki..Korang ni kan…!”

            “Ashley tetap macam dulu..Banyak cakap dan selalu bertukar teman lelaki…”,celah Zaria yang mengejek Ashley dengan nada yang selamba.

Ashley mengetap bibirnya,geram.Angel hanya ketawa melihat telatah kawan2nya.Ashley menjeling Angel.

            “Kau ketawa,Angel??”

            “Kelakar laa..hahaha..”

            “Korang datang nak buat kecoh je ke??”,kata Zaria sambil meneguk air minumannya.

Ashley membalas,

            “Ya2..Kami pergilah ni..Dia ni..Cakap main lepas je…”

Tiba2 kedengaran suara membebel.Semua menoleh mencari suara itu.

            “Apa yang kau membebel pagi2 lagi ni,Keith?Tak sahlah kalau kau tak buat bising pagi2 cam ni..”,tegur Ethan.

            “Ethan!Kau tengok ni!Kau tengok majalah ni! ‘TEMAN LELAKI ELVY DIKENALPASTI!’..!”,kata sahabat baik Ethan itu dengan wajah yang tidak berpuas hati.

Ashley berjalan mendekati Keith yang sibuk membebel.

            “Kau ni tak habis2 dengan Elvy ni!Apa cerita kali ni??”

            “Tengok2!!Gambar teman lelaki dia!Aishh!Taklah kacak pun!”,tegas Keith yang masih tidak berpuas hati.Angel datang menghampiri Ashley dan Keith.Ashley lantas merampas majalah dari tangan Keith.

            “Wow!Tak kacak??Gila ke??Kacak giler laa!!Macam modellah!Dia model juga ke?”.

            “Tak tau..Diorang cuma siarkan gambar tu je..Tak de maklumat pun tentang lelaki tu.Ahh..Betul ke tu teman lelaki dia?Frust betul aku…”,kata Keith lalu mengeluh panjang.

            “Apa yang kau minat sangat kat Elvy tu??Taklah cantik sangat..”,soal Ethan.

            “Tapi cantik juga kan??Haaa….”

            “Angel,kacak kan??Lelaki ni kacak kan??”,soal Ashley kepada Angel yang berdiri di sebelahnya.

            “Aaa…Kacaklah juga…”. Angel tersenyum.Ethan menjeling tajam.

            “Hey2..Siapa yang awak kata kacak tu??Kat sini…!Orang kat sini jauh lebih kacak!”,kata Ethan sambil menunjuk dirinya.Ashley meletakkan majalah di atas meja.

            “Jom pergi Angel..Loceng dah nak berbunyi..”,pelawa Ashley.

            “Okay..”. Angel hanya mendengar kata2 Ashley dan berjalan pergi keluar dari kelas D4.Ethan bangun dari kerusinya.

            “Hey,orang kat sini jauh lebih kacak tau!!Kat sini!!Aishh…”,jerit Ethan.

            “Dia dah pun pergi…”,kata Keith selamba,sambil membaca majalah.Ethan menjeling geram ke arah Keith.

Jam menunjukkan tepat pukul 1petang.Loceng menandakan tamat waktu persekolahan bordering.Semua pelajar terburu-buru mengemas buku masing2 dan ingin segera pulang.Koridor sekolah mula dipenuhi pelajar yang bergegas pulang.

            “Angel!Aku balik dulu..Ada ‘date’..Hehehe..”,kata Ashley sambil tersenyum,melambai-lambai ke arah Angel.

            “Okay..Bye!!”.Angel sibuk mengemas buku2nya.Ketua kelasnya yang berjalan ke pintu kelas untuk balik,terhenti langkahnya.

            “Angel,keluar nanti jangan lupa tutup kipas dan pintu,ye?”

            “Okay!Hati2 ye,ketua kelas!”. Angel menggalas beg sekolahnya lalu menutup tingkap,kipas dan pintu kelas.Angel segera berjalan ke pagar utama sekolah.Angel memandang sekeliling.Matanya liar mencari sesuatu.Tiba2 seseorang menarik beg galasnya dari belakang.

            “Ahh!!”. Angel tersentak dan seketika kemudian menoleh.

            “Awak buat saya tunggu lama…”,rungut Ethan.

            “Sorry laa..Jom!Balik!”. Angel dan Ethan berjalan keluar dari kawasan sekolah.Kedengaran seseorang menjerit memanggil nama Angel.Angel menoleh.

            “Kak Angel!”,jerit junior pada tempoh hari dan memberikan ‘flying kiss’ kepada Angel.Ethan berpura-pura menangkap ‘flying kiss’ tersebut lalu menghancurkannya.Junior itu terdiam.

            “Woah..!Kejamnya!!”,kata junior itu dan segera berlari pergi.Angel tersenyum.

            “Dia betul2 comellah..Siapa nama dia?”,soal Angel.

            “Comellah sangat..Entahlah..Kitorang panggil dia ‘satu’..Sebab dia kurus sangat..Macam nombor 1 pun ada..”. Angel tertawa.

            “Satu?”

            “Ha’ah..Tapi dia pelik kan??”

            “Ya..Dia pelik..Over romantic pun ada..”

            “Kan dah cakap dia tu memang pelik..Saya barulah romantik kan?”

            “Entah..”

Ethan menghantukkan kepalanya dengan kepala Angel.Angel mengaduh sakit.

            “Ahh!!Sakitlah..Keras betul kepala awak tu..”

            “Awak laa yang kepala keras..”

Angel menjeling.

            “Nasib baik awak tinggi..Kalau tak dah lama saya hantukkan kepala awak dengan kepala keras saya ni!”

            “Cubalah 10 tahun lagi..”perli Ethan sambil tersenyum.

            “Awak perli saya ke??”

            “Kenapa??Awak terasa di perli ke??”,kata Ethan dengan nada mengejek.Langkah Angel terhenti dan Angel lantas duduk mencangkung sambil memegang perutnya.

            “Ahh..Laparnya!!”

Ethan segera mencangkung di hadapan Angel dengan wajah serius.

            “Awak lapar ke??Lapar sangat2 ke??Boleh tahan lagi ke?”

Angel tersenyum lalu berkata,

            “Itu memang kelemahan awak kan?”

            “Apa?”

Angel lantas menghantukkan kepalanya dengan kepala Ethan.Ethan mengaduh lalu terduduk.

            “Ahh!!Sakitlah!”

Angel berlari pergi sambil menggosok-gosok kepalanya.

            “Sakit tau!”,jerit Angel lalu ketawa.Ethan menggosok-gosok dahinya.

            “Kalau dah tau sakit,kenapa awak buat juga?!Sakitnya…”. Ethan bingkas bangun dan mula mengejar Angel.Angel menoleh ke belakang dengan pandangan sinis.

            “Saya pendendam,tau…”

Ethan terus mengejar Angel.Ethan memerhatikan Angel berlari sambil ketawa.Ethan berjanji pada dirinya untuk tidak sesekali membiarkan gelak tawa dari wajah Angel pudar tiap kali dia bersamanya.

Angel membuka pintu pagar rumahnya lalu masuk menuju ke rumahnya.Angel tersenyum melihat Ethan yang turut berjalan menuju ke rumahnya.Rumah Angel hanyalah bersebelahan dengan rumah Ethan.Ethan melambai-lambai ke arah Angel.

            “Jumpa awak esok pagi!”,kata Ethan melalui gerak bibir.Angel tersenyum dan mengangguk tanda ya.

Angel menghampiri pintu rumahnya lalu membuka pintu.

            “Ibu,Angel dah balik!”,kata Angel sambil membuka kasutnya.

            “Oh,Angel dah balik?”,jawab Pn.Rose,ibu kepada Angel.

            “Ya..Eh!Aunty Rina kan?”,soal Angel apabila melihat seorang wanita yang agak berumur duduk bersama ibunya di ruang tamu.

            “Ya..Kali terakhir Angel jumpa dia tahun lepas kan?”

            “Ha’ah..Apa khabar,Aunty?”

Aunty Rina tersenyum melihat Angel.

            “Khabar baik…Angel dah besar dah..Semakin cantik..Tapi,kenapa kurus sangat ni?Ibu tak bagi makan ke?”

            “Tak delah..Mungkin sebab saya yang makan sikit sangat kot…Hahaha..”,jawab Angel sambil tertawa.

            “Apalah adik ni..Takkan laa akak tak bagi dia makan..”,kata Pn.Rose

            “Siapa tahu kan,Angel?”

Angel tersenyum mendengar kata2 Aunty Rina.

            “Okaylah,ibu,Aunty..Angel naik atas dulu…Ibu dan Aunty sembanglah dulu..”. Angel berjalan menuju ke tangga meninggalkan ibunya dan Aunty Rina.Langkah Angel terhenti apabila mendengar bisikan Aunty Rina kepada ibunya.

            “Angel nak ke?Adik dah tak de pilihan lagi ni…”

            “Sabarlah dulu..Akak mesti tanya dia dulu..”

Angel menoleh ke arah ibunya.

            “Ada apa,ibu?”

            “Aaa…Tak..Angel..Ibu nak tanya..”

            “Angel,Angel nak bantu Aunty Rina,kan?”,celah Aunty Rina.Angel terdiam sebentar.

            “Kalau dapat,Angel mesti bantu punya…”,jawab Angel.

Aunty Rina tersenyum girang.

            “Kalau macam tu,Angel sudi tak gantikan tempat Aunty?Jadi pembantu rumah?Buat sementara je…”

Angel terpaku buat seketika.

            “Pembantu rumah??maksud Aunty..Maid?!”
