Foto besar terpajang di dinding. Seorang wanita bermata sipit menggandeng tangan suaminya dan memperhatikan potret keluarga kecil mereka.
“Bagus, ‘kan, Pah?” tanya wainta itu sambil tersenyum dan bergelayut manja di lengan suami.
Sang suami terdiam, tatapannya beralih pada sosok wanita yang baru saja keluar membawa seplastik sampah.
“Kamu tidak suka?” Wanita bermata sipit itu kembali bertanya sambil melepaskan tangan. “Bisa kita turunkan,” lanjutnya lagi dengan wajah masam.
“Ah, tidak! Biarkan saja di sana. Aku suka, hanya saja ....” Ucapannya terhenti dan memandang kembali pada wanita yang membawa sampah hendak dibuang ke depan rumah.
“Terserah kamu bila mau dilepas demi menghargai perasaan dia.” Wanita bermata sipit itu pergi sambil menahan emosi.
“Sampai kapan aku akan diperlakukan seperti pembantu di rumah suamiku sendiri, Mas?” Sosok yang sedari tadi memegang plastik berisi sampah mendekati lelaki yang masih berdiri mematung.
“Maafkan aku tidak bisa membela kamu di hadapan Felicia. Besok-besok, kita buat foto keluarga sendiri ya? Dipajang di kamar kamu.”
Wanita itu mengangguk dan berlalu.
Kubawa Maduku dalam Kesengsaraan
***
Aku Felicia, istri pertama suamiku. Duduk dengan menyilangkan kaki, sambil menatap seorang wanita yang bersimpuh di bawah kursi. Sudah persis seperti nyonya angkuh.
“Tolong, Mbak, ibuku sakit keras, aku butuh uang, Mbak. Aku mohon beri aku bantuan dan titip Nayma karena aku harus ke rumah sakit. Mbak, kita sudah hidup bersama sekian lamanya, apa Mbak tidak punya sedikit rasa iba untukku?” Wanita yang sedang merengek itu bernama safira, dia adalah adik maduku. Ia memohon dengan berurai air mata.
“Jika aku mengatakan tidak, apa yang akan kamu lakukan?” tanyaku sinis.
“Mbak, bukankah aku sudah berulang kali meminta maaf sama Mbak? Mbak, aku sudah menjalani hidup yang penuh penderitaan di rumah ini. Apa Mbak masih akan terus menyiksaku? Jika di dalam poligami seorang suami harus adil, aku sudah menerima ketidak adilan dalam hal apapun, Mbak. Nafkah lahir, nafkah batin dan pengakuan di depan masyarakat, aku sudah mengalah untuk itu, Mbak. Jadi tolong, Mbak Felic, untuk kali ini, aku minta beri aku sedikit uang.”
“Kamu sudah masuk ke dalam kehidupan kami, kamu sudah merusak keutuhan rumah tanggaku dengan Mas Hanan, ini konsekuensi yang harus kamu dapatkan. Karena aku bukan seperti kamu yang miskin tidak punya apapun. Mas Hanan bisa bergaya layaknya orang kaya, itu semua dari aku. Aku bukan istri tua yang bodoh.”
“Mbak, tolong, aku butuh uang.”
“Bukankah ibumu punya asuransi kesehatan? Kenapa butuh uang?”
“Tapi Ibu berada di ruangan yang banyak sekali penghuni orang sakitnya, Mbak. Aku kasihan dan aku tidak tahan bila harus mencium bau keringat.”
“Sombong sekali kamu. Sudah hidup menumpang, masih berlagak.” Aku menjatuhkan lima lembar uang ratusan. “Ini hitung-hitung beramal sama orang miskin. Selebihnya jangan harap aku akan memberi banyak lagi. Kalau tidak mau, aku akan mengeluarkan anakmu dari sekolah yang sekarang.”
“Mbak, kenapa selalu mengancam mengeluarkan Nayma? Kenapa anak kecil yang tidak bersalah selalu dijadikan sasaran, Mbak? Mbak boleh mencaci maki aku, tetapi Nayma, dia tidak tahu apa-apa.” Tangis Safira semakin kencang.
“Apakah dunia kamu akan runtuh jika anakmu keluar dari sekolah elit? Banyak orang yang sekolah di sekolah negeri dan mereka berhasil. Kalau merasa tidak mampu, jangan memaksakan diri. Kenapa ego kamu tinggi sekali sementara kamu di sini hanya hidup menumpang? Jelas aku tidak peduli dengan anak kamu. Dia tidak punya hubungan darah denganku. Kenapa aku harus kasihan?”
“Mbak Felic, Mbak Felic, tolong beri aku uang yang banyak untuk memindah Ibu di kamar yang layak, Mbak. Mbak sudah menyiksa perasaanku selama ini, kenapa masih saja membuat aku menderita.” Safira meraung-raung.
Aku bangun dan dengan angkuh berjalan menuju dapur dan menuang minum. Meski Safira menderita saat ini, nyatanya itu tidak mampu menyembuhkan luka hati karena harus diduakan dan dihianati oleh suamiku.
Mas Hanan ternyata dari tadi melihat kami dari dapur. Ia menatapku penuh harap.
“Felic ....”
“Boleh, antarkan saja, tapi pakai motor butut kamu semasa muda. Jangan berani-berani menggunakan mobil.”
“Tapi sekarang sedang musim hujan.”
“Dulu kamu biasa hujan-hujanan pakai mantel. Mau jadi orang manja sekarang?” Mas Hanan tidak berkutik.
Lelaki itu menuju ke posisi Safira duduk. Membangunkannya dengan pelan dan menenangkan. Sungguh demi apapun aku merasa sakit melihat itu.
Aku Felicia sudah bersumpah akan membuat hidup maduku dan suamiku menderita. Aku rela menghabiskan waktu setiap hari bersama dengan maduku, demi bisa melihat mereka hidup sengsara
Crawling to her, I shifted back to my human form. Clutching her into my arms, I watched as she took her last breath. Turning to look at Alex, he was slowly drawing closer to the claws of death. Letting out a loud growl, something snapped inside me and I felt a sudden rush of adrenaline rushing through me as something crawled under my skin. It was sweet, dark, eerie and sadistic.A sense of dread overtook me as a new power surged in my veins, burning and searing my flesh as it rushed to the surface. A shining beam of light surrounded me as I felt a strange coldness settling deep in the marrows of my bones then I exploded, letting everything go. The ground underneath me started to quake, the air inside the four walls turned thick, my skin felt as if it was on fire, but instead of burning me it felt like it was peeling off.Groans and grunts filled the room, a sudden tsunami surrounding me, lifting me up and driving in circles. Beams of pure light hit the enemy, a single blow sendin
The more Lucian ranted the more I pitied him. Pathetic right? But as a child, he didn't deserve to be treated that way. Just like he said, I was raised in wealth but what more was I offered. Just like him, I was a caged bird, caged by the walls and rules of the kingdom yet what I went through as a child didn't influence what I am now. " That's no excuse to harm innocent people. " I started calmly.I could feel my body burning, no, scorching would be the perfect explanation. The heat was so much that I just wanted to claw at my skin. " Innocent people? " Lucian sneered. " How innocent could they be? Thanks to those so-called innocent people, I was branded dangerous, a traitor. And that stupid fortune teller, claiming that I would bring downfall to the whole land. Her useless words added to that pathetic man's hatred towards me and I was kicked away in the middle of the night, just like the dirty secret I was in his hands. Now, I just want to fulfil her words, bring the world under
Linda's povThe fight between Rosabella and I was getting intense. She was like a cornered beast, fighting it's way for freedom.Her attacks were ferocious and unforgiving, not giving me time to breath as she unleashed her full force upon me. One thing I realised, her magic wss weak, meaning her witch side Wasn't that strong. She was relying on her vampire and lycan powers to fight."I don't want to do this Rosabella" I told her as I tried to disarm her without hurting her. "You should have thought about that before you betrayed your people and join that man to cause ruckus. Rosabella sneered. " And you think you are Qualified to tell me what and what not to do? " I shook my head. At this point, she could already tell that she was clearly not strong enough to rival me yet she was insisting on fighting to the death? " Even if you don't care about yourself, at least think about your son. He is young and needs you. He needs a mother to care and love him. " I said in an attempt to c
Alex povWe set off after Linda's mother and I had a little chat.While I was away, I instructed Fiona to take charge of the kingdom and if something happens to me, she would take over as the Next lycan king.As for Linda, she would chose whether to stick around or leave the kingdom and continue with her life.I know she loves her profesion so I did the only thing I thought was good for her, setting her free.With me gone, i don't think she will be comfortable living with the lycans. Not like my people won't accept her, it's just that staying back would only give her pain." We still need you, she needs you. " Leo mindlinked me as we approached the prison where the battle would be held.I smiled, albeit bitterlyI didn't want this for myself, for my kingdom and most especially for my mate but some things are inevitable.This battle will only end with my death.I nodded at him.Leo looked away. I could see the pain in his eyes yet he remained strong." Change of plans. Your mate will t
Linda's povMorning came and as promised, Aurora sneaked into my prison cell. " Ready? " She asked and I nodded. Muttering a few words, I was freed from the chains making my eyes widen in surprise. " How did you do that? " I asked and she smiled. "The cuffs are something my family created so I can control them, " She replied, shrugging her shoulders. She then casted a spell on herself, looking exactly like me. Looking at her, I could hardly tell the difference, even her scent matched mine. " Go now! You can't waste more time. " She urged me. Nodding, I turned around and left. I found myself Following the path like I knew the place and ended up Aurora's room. Sitting on her bed, I prayed to the goddess to let her see the end of the day. My skin felt dirty from all the days I had stayed without a bath. Stripping, I headed to the bathroom.I washed away the dirt and the grime that had collected itself on my skin.After I finished, I stepped out of the bathroom feeling refresh
Linda's POVShe was right.Whether Alex stayed back at the kingdom or came to this damn forsaken place, a confrontation between them was inevitable. From what I saw about that man, his hatred for Alex ran deep and there's nothing that could stop him from taking his revenge on Alex.It's funny or should I say it's twisted how that man thinks?After being discarded by his father, he blames Alex for his misfortunes?I nodded." Do you have a plan?" I asked, taking x deep breath and embracing the fact that it was time for war.Macbeth grinned, " Now that's More like it."I smiled, amazed at how even her expressions and vigor matched Valeria's." Lucian plans to attack the castle but we will do it Instead. Tomorrow before noon, seduce him, make him let his guard down. We will invade this place, eliminate all the rogues and goddess knows what fate will be served to that bastard because I won't let him breathe past tomorrow."
