"This is hard, aku tahu."

"It is."

"But don't worry. We will meet each other again in no time, right?"

"If jumpa. Kalau tak, macam mana?"

"Well then let's put it to fate. Just so you know que sera sera, whatever will be, will be."

"What if fate kita sampai sini je?"

"Nolah. Jangan fikir sampai macam tu."

Dia memandang aku dalam-dalam. Aku membalas pandangan itu helplessly.

"It's okay. Dah jangan nangis. I will always love you."

Dia menyeka air matanya dengan sebelah tangan.

"By the way, what's the boy's name?" Dia bertanya kepadaku dengan suara tersekat-sekat.

"Oh, I hate that kid. Surely he's gonna take all the attention."

"Yih, perangai macam budak-budak."

Aku senyum sahaja.

"So, what's his name again?"

"Rafael."
