LOGINMy body was drenched from the intense downpour, which also made the path and steps away from the sore spot damp. There was no umbrella to offer me some shade, so I was left cold and drenched in the bad weather. I follow the road barefoot, following its path to wherever it leads. My face was chilly and damp, and there were hot tears in it. It seems as though the sky eradicates my pain and hiding from everyone just how miserable and down I am at the moment. "How long would you walk? How many times do you have to cry just to laugh again?" We're strolling along this lengthy road in the pouring rain, he said as he followed me. He stopped in front of me, causing me to tumble as well. When I stared into his azure eyes, tranquility was all I saw. His warm smile gave me hope, all the while I was staring at it. "Your life's challenges would bring you storm clouds and torrential rain, but what would come next was your hope. It doesn't imply that fate wasn't on your side or that you are finished. A sunshine that might offer your life meaning. That way, destiny won't ever work against you again!" He seems sincere, but I'm not sure If I will believe in him. He turned away from me, which made me anxious. I tried to call his name, but he never answered. Nevertheless, it appears that he will also leave just like the others, leaving far from me, just like everyone else. "Seah, be that sunshine! ...In order to discover love, you must first learn how to love yourself." He spoke and then disappeared. Where should I start and when should I stop? I'm really confused and scared.
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
Seah’s Point of ViewI am still in bed, refusing to go out and spend my free time out doors. I'm planning to visit his grave later in the afternoon. And also, I felt so tired feeling those tiring day for the past few days and having no proper sleep. I'm planing to sleep beside his grave later. It's been a while since I last slept with him by my side. Staring at my ceiling for about an hour leads me to get bored. I'm tired but I don't want to be sleepy. I immediately relaxed and rolled over on my bed. I was lying face down on my bed while I looked out my open window. The wind coming from outside carried my white curtain away, allowing me to peek at the cloudy sky.“Tsk!” I turned around and immediately stood up from my bed and immediately went to where my clothes were. I immediately put on my clothes for taking off and immediately took my guitar from the corner. I hung my instrument on my back while facing the mirror and bit my lip on my hair tie. Without a comb,
I felt my heart skipped when suddenly she put her head on my shoulder. I felt warm in this cold summer breeze night. I can't even move bothered that her head might fall off my shoulder.Her eyes where close and I felt awkward for a bit. I don't know but I also bent down to remove its head from my shoulder. “Well, I wasn't expecting this,” I whispered but I heard her snore which made me smile. This is the first time I open up my problem to someone I've known for just a week. And this is the first time someone just slept before I could start, hahahahaha. It would be better if I didn't wake her up and maybe she had a rough day at work. She must be too tired. I'm sure it won't be much of a relief from work if we stayed like this for a minute.“You’re so strange,” I whispered again and looked up at the sky. I was shocked and my eyes widened when I saw a shooting star in the sky, so even though it was already dark, I closed my eyes and prayed. Opening them again made me smil
Raphael's Point Of ViewI'm already cleaning up what we cooked tonight. We also had a lot of our product sold and there were too many customers earlier. It's still around seven and Seah will probably be out of the shop by ten. I was still cleaning up with a smile when my mother spoke. "Clean up the mess left by the customers, Raphael," my mother ordered as she dried her hands. She's washing the dishes being used earlier. A lot of used dishes and thank God she washed it all up already. While I was currently picking up the barbecue sticks around. We couldn't leave them around and they might come after us. We can't afford to be called by the local government here if we leave out our barbeque sticks."Hurry up and let's eat," mom said and took something from inside the house. After that, I immediately sat down in front of them, mama, where I received a spoonful of rice from the sadistic mother herself. "It seems like you and our tenant are getting along well, ah! Raphael, i
Seah's Point of ViewAfter finishing my duty, I immediately went home. Tired and hungry, walking home with my bag on my shoulder. I still had my things with me from school earlier because I went straight to work. The city lights are on and the street culture is alive. There are many vendors scattered on different sides of the road. The road is noisy and people who want to have fun are here. The whole place is so lively that even if I want to peek, my mind tells me to go home. "Seah!" "Seah!" I immediately turned to the person who called my name. A familiar face was weaving at me while running towards where I was. With a big smile on his face that Cedric dude was the one who's calling my name. "Good thing I'm still chasing you," he said quickly when he got close to where I was. "Come join us, my friends and I are having fun here!" he offered, which made me shake my head. "Ah! I'm going home," I said, as he put his arm around my shoulder. "Just a moment,"
