"Ikat elok-elok sebelum pakai sarung tangan gusti, " pesan Ram yang berjalan mundar- mandir di dalam bilik persediaan yang kecil."Pening tengok kau, Ram. Cuba duduk satu tempat." Tawa kecil mengakhiri bicara Qistina."Aku tengah risau kalau abang kau dapat tangkap benda yang kita buat curi-curi ni. Silap haribulan, gelanggang ni pun dia tutup." Misai yang menghiasi bibir disentuh."Abang Am dah bertolak untuk kem latihan dia. Tak perlu risau. Yang penting, muka aku ni tak boleh ada tanda. Tempat lain aku boleh tutup."

BAB 19"GERAKAN kena pantas," laung Ram dari tepi gelanggang. "Kunci leher. Naik dari lutut dan pusing. Bam!" Ram menunjukkan aksi."Badan dia lebih besar. Aku nak pegang leher pun susah," komen Qistina. Tuala yang diberikan oleh pembantu digunakan untuk mengelap peluh di leher dan wajah. Sudah hampir setengah jam dia mencuba aksi yang diajar oleh Ram. Belum sempat dia dia memanjat lutut si Botak, lehernya pula dikunci oleh lelaki itu. "Botak ni lagi laju. Leher aku dah sakit kena pulas," geram dilepaskan. Lagi dua minggu dia akan bertanding. Tiada perubahan dalam gerakannya. Malahan semalam dia kalah ketika berlumba lari dengan Eijaz. Malam ini!"Ram, kalau latihan ditamatkan awal boleh? Aku ada hal malam ni." Wajah dimaniskan. Ram sebagai pelatihnya berbeza sekali dengan Ram yang manis. "Nak tamat lebih awal?" Dahi Ram berkerut seribu. Senyum dilempar kepada Qistina."Kalahkan Botak dulu." "Susah!" Tuala dibuang ke lantai. Geram dia dengan Ram. Lelaki itu memang tegas."Kau me

BAB 18GERAKAN wanita bergelar Fire itu diperhati dengan teliti. Lincah dan pantas. Tiada petunjuk. Semua gerakan wanita itu sukar diagak. Kaki kiri bergerak ke hadapan bersama tunbukan sauk ke atas tangan kiri juga. Gerakan sama,tapi kaki kiri dan tangan kanan pula. Bukan setakat lincah, 'Fire' mengasak lawan tanpa belas kasihan. Namun dia perasan sesuatu. Selain gerakan tangan, wanita itu juga bermain dengan emosi pesaing. Ejekan dan cemuhan dapat dia dengari. Ia perangkap yang paling mudah tetapi keji. Paling utama, ia kelemahan Qistina. Kesemua pesaing Fire kelihatan tidak mudah terperangkap dengan taktik murahan itu. Pusingan pertama dan kedua selalunya berpihak kepada pesaing. Namun mulai pusingan ketiga, 'Fire' mulai menguasai perlawanan."Selain fizikal, mental kau kena kuat."Terngiang-ngiang nasihat Ram.Mulai esok, dia harus meminta Botak mencemuhnya dengan pelbagai jenis nama ketika latihan.

Kepala diangkat dah senyum diukir."Kau kena berlatih dengan Botak selama sebulan. Gerakan kau kena pantas dan beri momentum yang lebih. Jika tidak, hari pertama kau masuk gelanggang kita dua masuk hospital."Qistina mengangguk perlahan. "Aku yakin kita tak akan diusung keluar dengan ambulan." Senyum mengakhiri perbualan."Selain gusti ni, aku nak kau cuba belajar Karate. Yang tu jurulatih kau orang lain. Aku akan bawa kau nanti." Dahi diraba sebelum wajah Qistina dipandang."Penaja kau tu aku. Ni aku tunjuk baju yang akan kau pakai masa perlawanan. Aku tempah lhas untuk kau." Skrin telefon bimbit dikuis dan aplikasi yang menyimpan gambar dipilih. Bulat mata Qistina memandang gambar yang ditunjuk oleh Ram. Bajaunya seperti baju sejuk berhud cuma namanya tertulis di bahagian belakang bersama nombor tujuh. Corak belang seperti warna harimau menghiasi bahagian depan.

Tanpa melihat nama yang berkelip di skrin telefon bimbit, panggilan dijawab. "Cikgu. Saya di hadapan ni." Mata yang tertutup terus terbuka luas. Tangan sebelah kanan cuba diangkat. Ketika itu baru dia perasan yang Aisy tidur dalam dakapannya. "Sekejap ya tuan." Lengan yang menjadi alas kepala Aisy itu cuba ditarik dengan perlahan. Takut anak kecil itu terkejut. Pintu rumah dibuka dan dia menjemput ayah kepada anak muridnya itu masuk. "Maaf. Saya terlena. Tak dengar tuan panggil. Lama ke tunggu di luar tadi?" Eijaz menggeleng perlahan. Dia yang harus mengucap maaf terlebih dahulu. Lena Qistina terganggu disebabkan dia yang terlalu lewat. Jam di pergelangan tangan dilirik. Dalam sepuluh minit, jam akan berdeting dua belas kali.
