“Li,” panggil Mas Reza lirih.Aku meletakkan ponsel, niat membalas pelanggan aku urungkan. Aku menoleh ke arah Mas Reza, lelaki itu menunduk, dapat kulihat ada beban yang menempel di pundak. Masalah kali ini sangat berat hingga berulang kali mengehela napas.“Ada apa, Mas?”Helaan napas kembali keluar dari mulutnya. “Maaf,Li.”Aku menautkan dua alis, tak mengerti dengan ucapannya. Maaf, untuk apa kata maaf ... sedang ia tak melakukan kesalahan. Bahkan rumah tangga kami baik-baik saja.Apa Mas Reza selingkuh?Ah, tidak ...! segera aku tepis pikiran buruk yang menghantui bahkan memenuhi isi kepala ini. Tidak mungkin suamiku tega mengkhianati janji suci kami. Namun kenapa raut wajahnya terasa bersalah?“Kamu selingkuh, Mas?”Kalimat tanya itu meluncur seperti rolcoster. Biar saja sakit sekarang, aku butuh sebuah kejelasan. Aku tak suka menerka, hingga akhirnya sakit kepala.“Gaklah,Li. Mana mungkin aku mendukan cinta kamu. Aku tidak seperti lelaki di luar sana.”“Lalu kenapa minta maaf?”Diam. Mas Reza kembali bungkam, lagi-lagi dia menghela napas. Sumpah, sikapnya semakin membuatku penasaran. Ada apa ini?“Mas Reno mau pinjam rumah kita, Li.”Lirih dia berucap hingga seperti angin yang berhembus. Namun satu kalimat itu bak parang yang menancap tepat di jantungku. Ya Robb, drama macam apa lagi ini?“Maksudnya pinjam bagaimana, Mas?”Sekuat hati kutata amarah agar tak meledak. Namun tetap saja sumbu-sumbu bom mulai berasap. Hanya menunggu waktu hingga bom itu meledak. BUUM ...hancur seluruhnya.“Itu lho, Li. Mas Reno memiliki banyak hutang. Sementara dia mau meminjam rumah kita agar tidak mengontrak.”What! Mudahnya dia mengatakan hal itu?Kami memang baru selesai membangun rumah tak jauh dari kediaman orang tua Mas Reza. Tanah sawah yang dirubah menjadi hunian. Rumah itu baru selesai di bangun satu bulan yang lalu. Kehabisan dana memaksa kami mengehentikan proses pembangunan yang sudah mencapai 95 persen. Sebenarnya tinggal mengecat dan membuat kichen set. Namun mau tak mau harus berhenti dari pada kami meminjam bank yang jelas ribanya.Aku tak mempermasalahkan jika harus menunggu satu bulan lagi untuk menempati rumah itu. Asalkan rumah itu benar-benar siap dihuni. Namun justru kabar buruk menerpaku detik ini. Rumah yang belum sempat kami huni akan dipinjam orang lain. Ya, meski orang itu kakak kandung suamiku, tapi aku tak rela rumah hasil jerih payah kami dipakai sebelum kami menempatinya.“Rumah Mas Reno mau dijual, Li. Nunggu harga yang pas dulu.”Mas Reza menatapku lekat, netra yang berkaca-kaca seolah memaksaku untuk berkata iya. Tidak semudah itu, Parto!“Kenapa tidak tinggal di rumahnya sampai benar-benar laku? Kenapa harus meminjam rumah kita, Mas?”Aku mengepalkan tangan di samping. Sekuat tenaga kutahan amarah yang hampir meledak. Masalah ini tak akan selesai jika kami beradu mulut. Jelas aku tak bisa mengabulkan keinginan gila saudara suamiku.“Kasihan dia, Li. Di sana terus-terus ditagih hutang. Makanya dia mau pindah ke Salatiga.”“Terus kamu gak kasihan sama aku, Mas? Kita mau tidur di mana saat pulang kampung? Sebentar lagi kita juga pindah ke sana,kan?”Mas Reza diam. Lelaki itu mengusap rambutnya kasar. Dia kebingungan dengan masalah yang menimpa kakak iparku.Kebisuan itu membuatku melangkah pergi. Suara pintu yang beradu dengan tembok menggambarkan kebencian dan kemarahan yang kini ada di hatiku.Tuhan, tak bisakah aku hidup tenang tanpa drama dan air mata? Jujur aku lelah selalu berkutat degan masalah yang sama. Benalu berkedok keluarga.***Pagi ini kami lalui dengan perang dingin. Tidak ada sepatah kata yang keluar, entah dari mulutku atau mulutnya. Kami terjebak dengan pikiran masing-masing, meski pokok permasalahaannya masih sama.“Ayo sarapan sekalian, Li,” ucapnya saat aku diam dengan mata fokus menatap layar televisi.Tanpa menjawab aku melangkah mengikutinya. Kutinggalkan acara kartun yang ada di layar televisi. Meski dalam keadaan marah aku masih mematuhi perintah Mas Reza. Ya,walau dengan membungkam mulut ini.Kami duduk di kursi yang saling berhadapan. Meja makan berbentuk oval itu menjadi penghalang di antara kami. Tentu sudah ada nasi dan lauk di atasnya.“Tolong ambilkan, Li.”Aku segera memindahkan nasi dan lauk ke atas piring. Tentu tanpa ada kata yang keluar dari mulut ini. Biar ... Biar saja dia tahu, jika saat ini aku tengah marah padanya.Setelah kami makan dengan keheningan, Mas Reza pun berangkat kerja. Kali ini tak ada kecupan yang selalu kuberikan. Aku terlalu kesal hingga enggan untuk sekedar mencium punggung tangannya.Jam seolah berjalan lambat, semua pekerjaan rumah telah selesai. Namun jarum pada jam masih menunjukkan pukul 10.00 WIB. Aku mencoba memejamkan mata, mengobati rasa kantuk yang sedari tadi menyapa. Semalaman aku tak dapat tidur karena telinga terus terngiang permintaan suamiku.Tok! Tok! Tok!Belum sempat terlelap sebuah ketukan mengusik ketenanganku. Dengan langkah gontai aku berjalan menuju pintu depan. Betapa terkejutnya saat kulihat Mas Reno dan keluarga kecilnya berdiri di depanku. Belum lagi dua koper besar yang berada tak jauh dari tempat mereka berdiri.Ya Robb, jangan bilang mereka mau menginap di sini?A few hours later, they arrived at Scarlet's house. Lyra trudged along, following Scarlet closely, the weight of fatigue settling over her. Her eyes were heavy and red, evidence of her exhaustion. Yawns escaped her, showing just how tired she was.When Lyra finally entered the house, she sank into one of the plush couches near her. She took in the opulence of Scarlet's apartment: the pink plush couches, similar to the one in her office, suggesting a Scarlet's penchant for pink; the beautiful chandeliers and magnificent lights that illuminated the space. Scarlet had an impeccable taste."Have some," Scarlet offered, placing a steaming cup of coffee on the table in front of Lyra. Lyra stared at it for a moment, her reflection of her shattered life visible in the cup. Eventually, she reached for it, took a sip, and placed it back on the table. She wasn't in the mood for coffee."You need it to calm your nerves," Scarlet urged urgently, as if begging. Lyra remained still, staring blankly
Lyra felt her heart race, and her palms began to sweat profusely. "Preg… What?" "You can go, but you need to see me in my office," the doctor said with a soft smile, and Lyra followed her, counting her steps like a lost sheep.She entered the office, which was well-furnished with plush couches scattered around. The doctor had impeccable taste, but that was the least of Lyra's concerns. She chided herself, realizing that she was pregnant with Alexander's pup."Have a seat, Miss," the doctor pointed to one of the pink plush couches across from Lyra. She settled in but remained lost in her thoughts."I'm Scarlet," the doctor introduced herself, extending her hand for a handshake, but Lyra ignored it."I know you're going through a lot right now, but you need to stay strong for your pup. You could have been dead by now if not for the man who brought you in here at the last moment," Scarlet explained in a serious tone, though Lyra scowled. She wished the doctor would hurry her words along
Alexander clenched his fists and looked down through the veranda of his palace; he still couldn't believe Lyra was gone. He paced back and forth in the sitting room as if he were about to lose control. The sound of the door snapped him back to the present, and he turned his gaze to it."Sir," Jack said slowly, knowing how angered Alexander was. "You've got some visitors who want to see you; they said it's really urgent," he added."Do they have anything to do with Lyra?" He turned to him swiftly, hoping for a positive response, but Jack shook his head disapprovingly."Sir, it has to do with the pack," Jack said slowly as he watched his master seethe silently. Alexander waved at Jack, who promptly left, knowing his master wasn't in the right state of mind to attend to any visitors.Alexander sat on the plush couch in his private chambers, and memories of Lyra began to flood back. He pushed himself closer, leaning his back on the couch as he sniffed Lyra's scent. He gnashed his teeth as
Lyra stood there, nervous and happy at the same time. Her hands started shaking and she giggled, quickening her breath. She stayed still, observing Alexander sip his drink bit by bit."Prepare to talk me to sleep," Alexander grinned.Lyra stared at him, tasked with putting him to sleep. She stuttered, "Y-Y-Yes, my lord."Alexander finished his drink just as Jack walked inside, his face red as he clenched his fists in anger. He drew Alexander's attention, who turned to him swiftly staring into Jack's eye's he asked. "What happened?""My-my-lord, he didn't make it," Jack stuttered.Alexander's mood changed immediately. His eyes darkened, and he had a fiery look in them. He was both angry and heartbroken."What happened?" he growled. But Jack was mute he didn't reply, instead wiping the tears from his eyes.Swallowing his saliva, Jack reiterated, "He couldn't make it."Instantly, Alexander's face turned red. He clenched his fists in anger, his eyes turning dark and fiery.One of his mos
Alexander spotted Lyra as she stepped out of the car with Jack. He smiled as he sat in his chair, adjusted his clothes, and went to his guest room."Good afternoon, Alpha," Donald bowed.Alexander remained silent in response to his greetings. His brows furrowed, and his face turned fiery red. He the
As Lyra ran off, Alexander stood at a distance, watching her trail off happily. He let out a small laugh as his face beamed with a smile. He saw her as an amateur wolf and very amusing.His right-hand man,Jack, stood from afar, looking at both of them. He wondered what amused his master about such
Lyra stood in the mini-arena, bewildered, trying to make sense of the situation around her.Everyone gathered in groups, some in pairs or more, eagerly awaiting the opening of the grand hall. Most of them desired a toast with the Cursed Alpha king, Alpha Alexander is believed to be under a curse si
