yakin. Ia terdiam sejenak, menatap mata Keiko lurus-lurus dan melanjutkan, “Jadi, ya,
aku akan tetap mengatakan hal yang sama walaupun seandainya ingatanku belum
kembali.”
Mata Keiko terasa panas dan ia menunduk.
“Keiko-chan.” Kazuto menghela napas sejenak, lalu melanjutkan, “Aku tahu kau
menyukai Akira walaupun dia sama sekali tidak seperti yang kaukira. Dan—aku tidak
percaya aku akan mengatakan ini—aku tahu dia menyukaimu. Bukankah dia juga
sudah bilang padamu dia ingin melindungimu atau semacamnya? Tapi katakan
padaku, apa yang harus kulakukan supaya kau bisa menerimaku. Atau setidaknya
memberiku kesempatan. Aku...”
“Kau tidak perlu melakukan apa-apa,” sela Keiko.
“Aku... Apa?”
“Kau tidak perlu melakukan apa-apa, Kazuto-san,” kata Keiko sekali lagi sambil
berusaha mengatur napas dan debar jantungnya, “karena aku memang sudah
melihatmu.”
Alis Kazuto terangkat. Ketegangan yang sejak tadi terlihat di wajahnya mulai
menguap. “Kau sudah...? Lalu Akira?”
Keiko menunduk. “Sudah kukatakan padanya,” gumamnya pelan.
Seulas senyum tersungging di bibir Kazuto. “Lalu kini kau kembali padaku?”
Keiko berdeham, agak salah tingkah, lalu balik bertanya, “Apakah kau harus
bertanya terus? Atau kau ingin aku menerima Sensei?”
“Tentu saja tidak,” sahut Kazuto cepat. Wajahnya pun berubah cerah. Ia
mengembuskan napas dengan lega. “Keiko-chan...”
Tepat pada saat itu tiba-tiba Takemiya Shinzo muncul dan menepuk punggung
Kazuto dengan keras. “Foto-fotomu hebat, Kazuto. Selamat,” katanya riang, dan
menoleh ke arah Keiko. “Oh, ada Keiko rupanya. Apa kabar?”
Keiko buru-buru membungkuk memberi salam.
“Paman?” Kazuto mengerjap bingung, seolah ia memerlukan waktu satu-dua detik
sebelum menyadari bahwa orang yang berdiri di sampingnya adalah pamannya.
“Paman baru datang?”
“Maaf, aku datang terlambat,” kata pamannya tanpa merasa bersalah. “Ngomongngomong,
bagaimana kalau kita pergi makan malam untuk merayakan keberhasilanmu
setelah acara ini selesai? Tentu saja Keiko juga harus ikut.”
Keiko cepat-cepat menggeleng. “Tidak, tidak. Paman dan Kazuto-san saja yang
pergi. Aku...”
Kata-katanya terhenti ketika ia merasakan tangan Kazuto menggenggam
tangannya dan menariknya mendekat. Ia bisa melihat alis paman Kazuto terangkat
heran, lalu senyum kecil mulai terlihat di wajah pria yang lebih tua itu. Keiko merasa
pipinya memanas dan ia hampir tidak berani mengangkat wajah.
“Bagaimana kalau kita rayakan lain kali, Paman?” tanya Kazuto dengan nada
meminta maaf. “Hari ini kami punya rencana lain.”
Takemiya Shinzo menatap mereka berdua, lalu mengangguk-angguk. “Ah,
rupanya sudah berhasil.”
* * *
“Kazuto-san, kita akan ke mana?” tanya Keiko ketika mereka sudah berada di dalam
mobil Kazuto yang melaju di jalan.
“Karena kau sudah memberiku cokelat,” sahut Kazuto sambil menepuk kantong
kain berisi cokelat buatan Keiko yang diletakkan di dasbor, “aku juga harus menepati
janjiku.”
“Janji apa?”
Kazuto sambil menoleh ke arahnya dan tersenyum. “Bukankah kau pernah
memintaku mengajakmu ke restoran favoritmu itu lagi pada Hari Valentine?”
“Ah, benar!” seru Keiko gembira, baru teringat soal janji itu. “Kazuto-san, ternyata
kau masih ingat. Jadi kita akan makan malam di sana?”
Kazuto mengangguk.
“Kau membawa kartu diskonmu?” tanya Keiko.
Kazuto tertegun. “Kartu diskon?”
“Ya, kartu diskon yang kaubilang hanya bisa dipakai pada hari-hari tertentu,” kata
Keiko.
Kazuto berdeham. “Eh, soal kartu diskon itu...”
“Ya?”
“Sebenarnya tidak ada kartu diskon.”
Keiko tidak mengerti. “Tidak ada? Maksudmu, kau lupa membawanya?”
“Bukan. Aku tidak pernah punya kartu diskon itu.” Melihat Keiko yang
kebingungan, Kazuto cepat-cepat menambahkan, “Sebenarnya itu restoran pamanku,
jadi aku selalu mendapatkan diskon khusus kalau aku makan di sana.”
“Oh, begitu?” gumam Keiko heran. “Tapi kenapa kau tidak mengatakan yang
sebenarnya waktu itu?”
Kazuto mengangkat bahu. Kalau dipikir-pikir, ia juga tidak mengerti kenapa ia
harus berbohong saat itu. “Entahlah,” jawabnya. “Kurasa aku tidak ingin dianggap
memamerkan diri.”
