[PROLOG]
“Aspia… You have to get married.”
“What?” Jaws dropped.
“No objection.”
“You gotta be kidding me!”
“Aspiaaaa!”
Pintu bilik ditutup kasar. You gotta be kidding me, mom!
Rambut panjang cecah bahunya diusap perlahan. Gila! Kerja paling gila dalam
hidupnya yang agak gila. Kepalanya digeleng berkali-kali. They must be kidding
me. No way.

“Abang!”
“What is it?”
Diam. Mencari perkataan yang sesuai. Ah, gila! “About the
marriage. Did I have to?”
“Oh.” Abangnya dah pecah tawa. “Mesti la. Lagipun, nak
mengeratkan hubungan persahabatan diaorang kan?”
“Why must me first? Kenapa tak abang yang kahwin? Why must
me? Why must me?”
“Sebab… dia lelaki. Dan, abang lelaki. Kalau kami kahwin,
memang tak sah. That’s it. Haram. Kena tendang dari salasilah keluarga, of
course. Dan, abang normal wahai adikku sayang.” Sengih. Saja dia mengusik.
Hingus ditarik perlahan. Air mata dah keluar.
“Jangan buat drama sangat.” Kepala adiknya diusap perlahan.
“It ain’t work. Lagipun, adik mana reti menangis.”
Air mata dilap perlahan. “Abang ni spoiler betul. Orang kena
kahwin paksa ni mesti la nangis. Hish.” Nafas ditarik perlahan. “Taknak kahwin
la.”
Akil dah bantai gelak.
