View MoreRaymond si pria muda tampan berbodi bagus ini senyum ceria, malam ini adalah malam sakral baginya dan Rahma, istrinya. Ulang Tahun ke 4 mereka sebagai suami istri.
Raymond hanyalah sales sebuah dealer mobil yang dikatakan sulit laku, karena jual mobil-mobil asal negeri Tiongkok.
Sial…masih separuh jalan lagi sampai rumah, Raymond terpaksa berteduh, hujan yang tadi sudah gerimis, kini turun dengan derasnya.
Tiba-tiba ponsel jadulnya bunyi, ada chat masuk. Raymond pikir istrinya yang ngontak karena ini sudah pukul 21.00 lewat, tapi saat di buka, ternyata dari nomor tak di kenal.
“Hmm…siapa pengirimnya, kok ada lampiran fotonya,” batin Raymond, kaget saat membuka kiriman tiga buah foto tersebut.
Matanya melotot, jantungnya berdegup kencang. Foto itu perlihatkan seorang wanita cantik dengan rambut panjangnya dan gaun malamnya yang berwarna merah menyala sangat seksi, sampai perlihatkan pakaian dalamnya yang membayang.
Siapapun laki-laki normal pasti tergoda!
Walaupun gambar ini sedikit buram, karena di ambil secara sembunyi-sembunyi dan tempatnya seperti-nya sebuah pub atau klub malam, tapi wajahnya masih bisa di kenali.
Si wanita ini tak sendirian, ada seorang pria setengah tua yang terlihat merangkul si wanita seksi ini dan mengecup pipinya dengan mesra.
Wanita itu mirip sekali dengan…Rahma istrinya.
Raymond…serasa tak menjejak bumi, tubuhnya seketika mematung.
Benarkah itu Rahma…kenapa dia begitu dekat dan akrab dengan pria setengah tua necis dan terlihat sangat kaya raya itu?
Jadi…isu-isu miring yang selama ini dia dengar, sejak karir istrinya melejit dan kalahkan dirinya, di peroleh Rahma dengan cara selingkuh…apakah benar adanya?
Saking marahnya, Raymond letakan begitu saja kue berharga 145 ribu di sebuah halte tempatnya berteduh tadi. Dan tak peduli hujan deras, ia tancap gas pulang ke rumah mereka.
Raymond tak melihat mobil istrinya di garasi, artinya Rahma belum pulang!
Hatinya yang emosi kini dia redam, dengan berpikir positif, paling wanita di foto itu hanya mirip.
Tapi…kenapa 3 foto itu dikirim ke dia…apa maksudnya? Pikirnya dengan galau.
Pukul 23.45 menitan terdengar mobil datang, Rahma istrinya membuka pintu dan langsung menuju kamar.
Mereka berdua memang bawa kunci rumah masing-masing.
Melihat Raymond sudah ‘tidur’ dengan memunggunginya, Rahma hanya hela nafas, dia lalu ke toilet dan hapus make up cetar-nya.
Padahal Raymond aslinya belum tidur, hatinya masih galau dan panas dengan foto itu.
Tak sampai 15 menitan usai merebahkan diri di sisinya, dengkur halus Rahma terdengar. Raymond berbalik dan melalui siluet lampu tidur dia melihat wajah istrinya seperti orang yang sangat kelelahan…!
“Hmm…dia lupa dengan ulang tahun ke 4 pernikahan? Tapi…kenapa dia begitu terlihat lelah..?” kembali batin Raymond berkata, rasa curiga makin menjadi-jadi.
Paginya di meja makan…
Raymond masih terngiang-ngiang dengan kiriman 3 foto yang belum ia hapus, saat melihat istrinya kini terlihat makin cantik dengan blouse warna krimnya.
Di tambah rambut panjang yang sengaja dikritingin dan diberi warna coklat melewati bahunya, plus parfum mahal, cantik sekali Rahma ini di tambah kulit tubuhnya yang putih dan mulus serta semampai.
Rahma memang terlahir blasteran, ayahnya asli Australia, ibunya Sunda.
Mulut Raymond sudah gatal ingin bertanya, kemana saja istrinya hampir pukul 00.00 baru pulang tadi malam.
Tapi mulutnya kalah start, bibir Rahma yang di lapisi lipstick merah menyala duluan bicara.
“Bang, siang nanti mama tiriku dan kakak perempuanku datang dari Australia, mereka akan nginap di tempat kita selama di Jakarta. Katanya rumah mereka sedang di renovasi, jadi sementara pulang ke tanah air dulu, sekalian travelling,” cetus Rahma, sambil memotong roti dan memakannya perlahan.
Raymond diam saja, dia menunggu, apakah istrinya ingat hari ini genap 4 tahun mereka jadi suami istri?
Tapi…sampai Rahma pamit duluan ngantor, tidak ada sama sekali ucapan istrinya tentang ultah itu. Raymond hanya hela nafas panjang.
Padahal ini hari Minggu, tapi Rahma tetap kerja!
“Oh ya…aku mungkin pulang malam lagi, soalnya aku menemani bos di kantor metting dengan klien kakap, yang akan bangun pusat perbelanjaan di Kalimantan,” cetus Rahma lagi sebelum berlalu dari hadapan Raymond.
Si lelaki tak berdaya karena kalah karir dan penghasilan.
Dan kali ini Rahma tidak bawa mobil, tapi di jemput sebuah mobil….mewah!
Raymond hanya bisa mengangguk dan tidak ada ‘kuasa’ melarang. Ia tahu diri, saat ini, 90 persen kebutuhan rumah tangga mereka uangnya dari kantong Rahma.
Sejak karir Rahma melejit, mereka naik pangkat dari keluarga sederhana ke keluarga kelas menengah elit.
Kebutuhan hidup mereka pun otomatis menyesuaikan…mau tak mau, Rahma lah yang dominan keluar biaya!
Raymond bersihkan bekas makanan mereka, hal kecil yang dulunya dilakukan Rahma, kini dialah yang melakukannya, mereka memang tak memiliki pembantu.
Sesaat ia merasa harga dirinya jatuh ke titik rendah…!

BERSAMBUNG
She nodded which made him proceed “You have till the day after tomorrow to save your mother or else she would be dead by the disease” Eleanor's eyes widened in shock “What?” Beads of sweats formed on her face and poured down freely and profusely, her heart beat thrice than normal as she heard what the doctor said. “I can't afford to loose my mother, I can't afford to loose my mother” She repeated several times murmuring. “So, what can be done doctor? What can be done to save my mother? I can't afford to loose her in any way” Save said while staring daggers at the doctor who in turn looked at her with eyes full of pity. “The only way is for your family to provide the billion dollars to save her so we can begin the operation immediately”. Do you have it at hand now, so we can begin the operation?” Without thinking further, she nodded her head negatively and burst into uncontrollable tears, why was her life turning into a shipwreck? She can't afford to loose her mother at her tend
‡‡‡‡AT HOMEAs Eleanor pushed and twisted the door's knob, she felt tired with all the day's trouble and immediately slumped on the nearby couch she saw.Not quite long, her father walked fragilly into the room to meet his daughter laying helplessly on the couch.He cleared his throat and this action jolted his daughter from her small slumber.She rolled her eyes at the sight of her father.“Out of everyone,why does he have to be here” She said in curiosity.“Eleanor Roseville, where were you? You were out since morning and we are in the mid evening. So you're late” He said his hands akimbo staring at her like she was a little kid.She rolled her eyes once more, she was already getting tired of her dad's pampering. It was already getting too much to handle “Father, I am not a kid anymore. I'm grown up, I'm nineteen for crying out loud. So why can't live my life peacefully without you interfering” She looked straight at his eyes as she said so.He wasn't ready to give up to his daugh
Eleanor left for home in mixed emotions, she was both happy in some ways and also sad for giving out her virginity to some random stranger she just met a few minutes ago.Not quite long, the man from the restaurant ran after her.“Young lady, Young lady, wait up, wait up” He said running after her while flagging his hand at her.Eleanor at first was confused on why the man was running after her, but when he got closer to her and she stared deeply at her, she suddenly remembered she knew him. He was the man from the restaurant “i was yelling your name from far behind, but I guess you didn't hear me. Do you still remember me?” He said in one breath as Eleanor stared blankly at him.She decided to play the novice game with him “No, I don't remember you. Can you please enlighten me on where I know you from?”The man laughed a little as he stared at the woman figure in front of him, he just felt like there was a force drawing them together. He already sighted her from afar, and when he ha
At 12:30amEleanor was very wide awake and every single word of her father rang in her ears every now and then. She also stares at her phone every now and then waiting for the call of the man. She needed him to call this very moment.She didn't even feel any ounce of tiredness through what she was thinking. Anyone who looked at her now, would think she was having mental problems.Like as if God wanted to help her, her phone buzzed loudly and she quickly glanced at it to see an unknown number. At first, she didn't want to pick up, but come to think it, it may be the man.“Hello?”She said Silently as she tried listening to the background of the caller. It seemed like the man was in a club as she could here faint music.“My boss would like to see you tomorrow to talk more about your marriage. Any questions before I hang up?”Inside Eleanor, she was very happy that she got a response, now she just have to tell him tomorrow all her challenges. Who knows, maybe he can help.The thoughts of
