"Terus kenapa?""Aku takut, Mas. Kita kan belum menikah, lagian aku belum kamu kenalkan dengan kedua orang tuamu. Aku takut kamu gak mau bertanggung jawab!" desak ku pada Mas Wawan."Apa beneran positif? Sudah di cek belum? Nanti cuma telat?" tanya Mas Wawan yang masih menatap layar ponselnya. Tidak ada rasa takut maupun khawatir terhadapku."Belum, Mas. Aku takut!" Aku memainkan cincin yang melingkar di jari manis sebelah kanan."Takut kenapa?""Takut kalau aku beneran hamil!" Pandanganku beralih pada pria yang ada di sebelahku."lha terus gimana?" Mas Wawan masih terlihat memainkan ponselnya.Aku diam sejenak, meraih dompet yang aku taruh dalam tas. Dan terlihat disana hanya ada beberapa lembar uang lima ribuan."Mas, aku lagi gak ada duit! Tolong belikan tespeck ya?" pintaku pada Mas Wawan sembari bergelayut di lengannya."Aku lagi gak ada duit, belum gajian," Dengan gampangnya dia menjawab, seperti tidak punya rasa bersalah ataupun rasa kasihan mendengar keluhanku."Mas, kamu benar-benar ya. Gak mau keluar uang. Aku minta di beliin testpack aja gak ada!" sungutku penuh amarah sambil melepas tanganku dari lengannya."Aku juga lagi gak ada duit, kalau aku punya udah aku kasih!" Mas Wawan menghentikan aktivitasnya lalu menatapku sejenak.Aku pergi begitu saja meninggalkan Mas Wawan yang masih duduk di kursi. Ya, kami bertengkar selayaknya kekasih di salah satu cafe yang cukup terkenal di kota ku. Aku belum menikah dengan Mas Wawan, namun sepertinya aku hamil. Pikiranku tak karuan ketika bobot tubuhku semakin kurus, awalnya aku seneng. Tubuhku yang terlihat langsing, namun lama kelamaan pinggang ini sering sakit. Kepala ku sering pusing, dan kalau pagi sering muntah-muntah. Aku yang masih bekerja di pabrik tekstil ternama di kota. Takut ketahuan kalau nanti beneran hamil. Teman-temanku semua sudah mencurigai ku."Kamu kok kurusan sih, Nan? Sering sakit pula, mikirin apa?" tanya Tari temanku di pabrik. Dia memperhatikanku dari ujung kaki sampai ke ujung kepala."Gak papa, capek aku!" jawabku singkat.Aku pergi begitu saja, setelah jam istirahat tiba. Aku ke kantin yang ada di pabrik.Aku dan Tari makan bakso di sana."Makanmu banyak banget, Nan. Tapi tubuhmu kurus, kalau pagi aku sering lihat kamu muntah-muntah! Bulan ini aja kamu belum datang bulan lho!" Telisik Tari."Gak tau nih, lagi banyak pikiran. Makanya gak tertib datang bulannya!" "Jangan-jangan kamu hamil lagi?" Tari menatapku dengan penuh curiga."Husstt, jangan keras-keras. Nanti pada denger lagi." Jari telunjuk tepat berada pada bibir."Kamu beneran hamil?!" Tari kembali bertanya karena ucapanku yang mulai mencurigakan."Belum aku cek," Aku menjawab dengan santai. Sembari memasukan bakso ke dalam mulut."Kenapa gak di cek? Buruan, nanti keburu besar lagi!"Aku lagi gak ada duit buat periksa!""Mas Wawan dong, suruh bayarin. Suruh tanggung jawab!""Dia lagi gak ada duit, malas aku minta sama dia!""Kamu itu jadi cewek yang berani dong, dia minta jatah aja kamu kasih. Masak minta uang buat periksa gak di kasih. Cowok apa?""Gak tau, gak usah dibahas. Pusing aku!"Lantas aku mengajak Tari segera meninggalkan kantin.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Aku tinggal di kos-kosan, karena rumahku cukup jauh. Lagi pula kadang ada lembur, jadi kalau pulang malam aku takut sendirian. Aku yang sedang tiduran di kasur mendengar ponsel ku berbunyi. Benar saja itu dari Mas Wawan."Halo, ada apa telpon?" tanya ku dengan menaikan nada bicara satu oktaf."Cuma kangen, gak boleh telpon apa? Sudah periksa?" Terdengar orang yang ada disebrang telepon sedang khawatir."Udah!""Terus hasile?" tanya Wawan penasaran."Positif! Kamu itu dari kemarin sudah aku suruh tho, beliin testpack. Lha ternyata cuma tujuh ribu aja, kamu gak kuat beliin. Gimana mau ngurus aku sama anakku!" sungutku masih memendam amarah."Lha sudah tho, mau gimana lagi? Wong lagi gak ada duit!" Wawan dengan berat mengatakannya."Terus ini gimana? Kenalin aku sama bapak ibu mu, awas kalau gak tanggung jawab!""Iya pasti aku tanggung jawab, nanti tak kenalin sama mereka!""Jangan nanti, aku maunya sekarang. Kalau nanti keburu besar perutku!""Iya …."Ku tutup telpon tanpa menunggu penjelasannya lagi. Setelah dua Minggu, aku diajak ke rumahnya dikenalkan dengan kedua orang tua Mas Wawan."Kenalkan, Pak, Bu. Ini Nanda, pacar Wawan."Aku tersenyum dan menunduk kepada mereka."Ini gubuk Wawan, Nduk Nan. Sederhana, Wawan bukan anak orang kaya. Kamu mau menerima dia apa adanya tho?"( Gubuk= rumah)"Iya, Pak." jawaban ku singkat.Rumah Mas Wawan tidaklah mewah ataupun berpagar besi. Rumah bercat warna merah muda itu terlihat sangat sederhana.Tapi apapun keadaannya aku berjanji akan menerimanya dengan ikhlas. Kalau soal harta bisa dicari sama-sama.Yang terpenting saat ini ada sosok ayah yang akan menemani calon bayiku.****Seiring berjalannya waktu, perutku semakin membesar. Tepatnya bulan Mei aku menikah dengan Mas Wawan. Bulan itu juga usia kandunganku sudah memasuki bulan ke empat. Yang aku pikir menikah dengan Mas Wawan masalahku selesai. Namun aku salah, disinilah awal aku menemui masalah. Mertua yang awalnya baik menjadi ular yang berbisa setelah tinggal bersama. Aku yang tengah hamil tidak terlalu bersemangat untuk mengerjakan rumah, hanya ingin bermalas-malasan. Namun mertuaku tidak bisa memaklumi itu."Hamil bukan buat tiduran, buat kerja. Agar nanti kalau lahiran. Lancar," ucap Ibu mertuaku.Aku hanya diam, teringat pesan mamakku di kampung. Apapun yang terjadi kalau lagi hamil, gak usah di ladeni. Diem aja. Aku nurut aja, meskipun hati ini ingin mencakarnya. Aku berlalu begitu saja, tanpa ada jawaban dariku. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Baru satu bulan tinggal bersama mertua, seakan sudah hidup di neraka. Dia selalu menyindirku karena aku hamil duluan. Toh yang bikin aku kayak gini juga anak lelakimu. Ketika aku sedang menyapu halaman depan. Ibu mertuaku membeli sayuran di tukang sayur yang selalu berhenti di depan rumah."Nambah keluarga, juga nambah kebutuhan. Udah makannya banyak, gak mau beli beras. Angel, Jang Ujang." Suara itu terdengar mengarah kepadaku.(Angel : susah)Gaji suamiku berapa? Buat cicilan motor, buat periksa kehamilan. Aku saja yang jadi istrinya jarang dikasih uang buat keperluanku pribadi. Dongkol rasanya, denger omongan kayak gitu. Dada ini seakan bergemuruh, seandainya aku bisa mengulang waktu. Aku tidak akan melakukan hal yang membuatku sampai disini. Terkadang di tengah kehamilanku, aku ingin bekerja. Mencari uang yang banyak untuk menampar mereka, yang selalu berpikir uang itu segalanya. Hati ini begitu sakit, tersayat pedang yang dilayangkan ibu sendiri. Aku selalu berharap semua akan indah pada waktunya. Tapi keberuntungan belum berpihak dengan ku. Marah ini kecewa ini membuat dada ini semakin sesak. Di tengah hamilku yang sudah mulai membesar, setiap malam aku sering menangis. Rindu mamak yang ada di kampung, rindu dengan segala kesederhanaannya yang menerima aku apa adanya.Sakit ini semakin berat, tatkala suamiku, ternyata orang yang begitu kaku dan juga egois. Sering aku meminta pergi menjenguk ibu. Tapi jarang di izinkan. Kenapa aku ingin pergi menemui orang tuaku, kau larang? Tapi kau di sini sering melukai hatiku.Hingga ku lewati setiap malam dengan tangisan.Tuhan, izinkan aku pergi dari rumah ini. Aku begitu lugu hingga tak berani membela diriku sendiri.Tuhan, akankah kelak aku akan merasakan bahagia? Hingga sekarang kau beri cobaan yang terasa amat berat bagiku.Tuhan, jika nanti aku akan merasakan bahagia, berikan kebahagiaan yang tiada duanya.Tuhan, jika roda kehidupan berputar, izinkan aku menikmati bahagia.It was already 11:25 in the evening when Chase decided to leave their office and go home. But before he went home, he went to see his grandmother at the hospital. He wanted to visit her the next morning, but he couldn't bear to go on all day without seeing and checking on his sick grandmother. He was concerned about his grandmother and wanted to make sure she was fine so he could sleep through the night. "Thanks, man," Chase said to the cab driver before he got off when he arrived outside his apartment. "No problem," the cab driver responded, and he drove away when Chase closed the door. He walked to the entrance door and headed straight to the elevator as soon as he entered the building. He pushed the up button, and he went inside the lift as soon as the door opened. To think he'd actually made out with a complete stranger was unfathomable. He couldn't believe he had surrendered his virginity to a total stranger. But even so, he didn't mind because he was confident that he would
"What a disaster," said Shantal, a famous model and celebrity, as she scrutinized each of the clothes hanging on the clothes valet. She was chosen by Lalaine, the design department manager, to be the model for LCC's upcoming project fashion show event, to wear the highlight coat, and it appeared that she didn't like the coat she was going to wear and wanted them to change the design. "Call the manager," she demanded. "We know the concept better than anyone. You can trust us, Ms. Shantal," Chase said nicely. She scrutinized him from head to toe, then returned her gaze to his eyes, as if she were also criticizing him. "Well, I don't think I can, and that is the problem. I have therapy at five. You only have until 4:30 p.m." "Apologies, but that's realistically impossible. Ms. Lalaine is already occupied, and she's not the kind of person who can come just because we ask her." "Is that so?" She raised her eyebrows at him. "Then I can't wear this." The design team exchanged glanc
Chase didn't go to the hospital because he didn't have time and would be late for work. He texted the doctor to tell his grandmother that he wouldn't be able to come today. He reasoned that he had a meeting early in the morning. Before heading straight to work, he stopped by Starbucks to buy an iced coffee to treat his aching head from a hangover due to his drunkenness last night. As soon as he paid for the iced coffee, he drank it through the straw. The coolness of the coffee revived his dry throat and, in some mysterious way, assisted in the relief of his hangover and headache. As much as he wanted to skip work today, due to the soreness and ache all over his body, particularly in his private part, he couldn't. This was his first time getting drunk. He swore to himself that he would never drink again. On his way to work, the picture of the man he had slept with last night suddenly sank into his mind. Although he was drunk last night, he clearly remembered the man's thick, nob
He didn't see him pay his bill, so he assumed he owned the bar. "Nice car!" He couldn't help but make a comment when he spotted his Rolls Royce. He didn't respond, but he grinned and nodded. Then he told his chauffeur to take them to a five-star hotel as soon as they were settled in. He had no idea how or when they arrived at the hotel, but what mattered to him were the man's passionate kisses. His skillful lips were making his knees weak, so it was a good thing his muscular arms supported him while he kissed him passionately. He felt something inside him that he had never felt before. It was a strong emotion that wanted to break out. The man was looking at him with such blazing need in his eyes as he let him breathe, but after a few seconds, he captured his lips again, tempting him to reciprocate with the same passion he was giving him. He let out a soft gasp when he felt his tongue inside his mouth, tasting every inch of it. He was so enthralled by the feeling that the man elicit
[FAST FORWARD] @353 E BONNEVILLE BUILDING "Ugh. Come on, honey. Let me go. I need to prepare dinner. You're starving, aren't you?" The woman asked Gerald while she was feeling the young man's kisses on her neck. She liked it and wanted it more. "I'm hungry for you, honey," Gerald whispered between his kisses on the woman's neck until his kisses fell on the woman's chest. He was lying when he told Chase that his boss wanted him to go to work tonight. He only said that so that he and Chase wouldn't meet him because he had a plan with the other woman. He has been cheating on Chase for almost two weeks. And the truth is, he's not really in love with Chase. He is just using Chase. "Um!" She moaned and arched her body as she grabbed the man's hair while she was being kissed on her breasts until they got to the thing they always do. "You're so f*cking sexy," he said, kissing her on the lips after they had sex. He leaned his head on the woman's chest. They are both naked. Their clothes
When Chase awoke, it was 4:59 a.m. He turned off the alarm clock before it could ring. He got up from lying down and moved to his bed before leaving his small bedroom and heading straight for the kitchen. Chase has a simple life with his grandmother. His parents abandoned him at a young age. He doesn't know where his parents went. His grandmother didn't even know about it. But he didn't think about that anymore because he had no intention of looking for them either.He accepted the truth that his parents didn't love him because they wouldn't leave him if they did. Besides, Chase is happy with his grandmother. Chase walked over to the fridge and took the dish he had from the night before, which was placed on a small Tupperware. He put it in the cooking pot to heat it. He also cooked rice.After he cooked, he packed them. Then he went back to his room to get himself ready. Chase is not going to eat his breakfast at home, but at the hospital with his grandmother. He also wants to see his
