"You should get changed, Red. It's almost time for you to get on the stage." My boss whisper-yells in my ear. It is almost impossible to hear one's thoughts inside this club, with the music so loud and the entire building literally vibrating with excitement, sweaty bodies on the dance floor grinding and whining on each other and the stage? Well, my colleagues are on there, dancing and twirling around the poles in those ridiculously high heels and barely there lingerie. "Sure thing Mia," I say with a smile, leaving her to get ready. I work as a stripper and I absolutely love my job. Aside from the fact that it pays ridiculously well, I love the stares, the attention. I love seeing the desire in the eyes of men and sometimes women. I love watching them watch me. I love seeing how tense they get from wanting to touch me but being unable to. I especially love teasing them. I know how much they want me, if the way they stare at my body doesn't give them away then the little and sometimes not so little tent in their pants gives them away. Quickly, I move to the dressing room, changing into my uniform which consists of a red lingerie, the bra is completely see-through with little butterflies embroidered on it. You could see everything, my perky little boobies, the areola, and my nipples. Every single part of my body is literally on display. That's the best part of this job though. The way it makes me feel good about my body. The panties are just about the same, completely see-through and barely hanging on my waist, a little tug and they would snap. My favorite part of my uniform is the tiny butterfly that hangs on either side of my waist. I pull my wig on and this is just my own version of a mask. It gives me a sense of security and anonymity. I had already gotten my makeup done earlier as soon as I got to the club so I'm good to go on that end. I grab my red lipstick and add another generous coat of lipstick to my lips before applying my lip gloss to give it a glossy finish. I pull out my heels and put them on, It's always a struggle to get my footing for the first five seconds after putting on my heels. "I put this on four nights a week and I still stagger whenever I put it on," I mumble to myself. After dressing up and making sure that I looked presentable, I walked out of the dressing room to where I knew Mia was waiting for me. "You look good as usual, Red." She compliments me smiling from ear to ear. "Oh, I know boss," I answer with a smug smile. Mia is literally my best friend in the whole world. We have been together since forever, we did school together, she has seen me go through the worst things that happened to me and she still stuck around even when I was being a bitch about things. She shakes her head in amusement "Get this done and over with fast so you can go home and get enough rest. It's going to be your first day at your new workplace." I roll my eyes and groan "Please don't remind me. I hate first days." "You are going to be just fine..." she says while glancing at her wristwatch "Come on, it's time for you to get out there." I shoot her my stage smile. "Wish me luck" "You don't need it but break a leg," she says and takes a second to think about it "not literally though." "Thank you Mimi" I yell over my shoulder while heading for the stage. I could hear the DJ announcing my arrival but I tuned him out and put my focus on the music and the way my skin prickled and came alive under the stares. Without making eye contact with anyone, I grab the pole and start dancing to the music. Twisting, whining my waist, and teasing the crowd with my body. I could hear the cheers, I could see the money they were throwing out at me falling on the stage but I don't pay much attention to it and just let myself get carried away with the music. Until I feel it, someone is staring at me. Which makes little to no sense considering the fact that everyone is staring at me. This is different though, I could feel red-hot heat coursing through my skin, the hairs on the back of my neck prickled and stood at attention, literally. My face started burning flaming hot, hard to tell if I am blushing or it is just the heat in here. Or just the intensity of his gaze. I don’t have to search the crowd for long before I find him. He is standing by the bar, I can barely see him but I can feel his dark eyes on me. He didn't flinch or look away when I locked eyes with him and that makes me feel even hotter than before. He isn't smiling, his face impassive. It certainly didn't look like he was affected by my little show, or maybe that's what he wants me to think but I know better though, I can see it, even from this far. I can see how tense he is, his stance is relaxed and nonchalant but still wound tightly with want. All of a sudden, I want to know what breaking a man like that would look like, I want to tease him, torment him, and wind him up tightly until he snaps. I want his hands on me... To touch me in places I haven't been touched in years. Yep, I need to get laid. It's been so long and like Mia will say, I can literally see cobwebs growing in my vagina. I slowly release the pole and send him a slutty wink and my best smile as the music comes to an end, marking the end of my session for the night. I walk out of the stage, ignoring all the catcalls and the pieces of paper that probably have phone numbers written on them. "My God, Red, that was just... Perfect. I expected nothing less from you." Mia gushes as soon as I get to her side. "Thank you, babes." "You have a private dance request...." I groan "You know that I can't take it, Mia." "I know I know but I thought you might want to change your mind if you heard how much he is willing to pay." She says while biting her lips. Money, of course. I roll my eyes "How much?" I ask eagerly. Beggars are not choosers, I need every single penny I can get. "Fifty thousand..." She answers slowly dragging the words out. My eyes widen in disbelief "What?" "Fifty thousand... Each" "I'm sorry, what?" "You get fifty thousand dollars, Red, and the club gets fifty thousand dollars too." "A hundred thousand dollars on a dance?" I ask. I was yet to close my mouth. "I didn't even do anything special today, it was my usual dance." My mind started making all sorts of calculations, how much this bill could help me cover, and how much will go into paying my debts and my parents' debts and I also need to send some money to my brother who has been so quiet lately it was extremely suspicious. "I know right? He is a new member, he just signed up a month ago but this is his first time in the club." "Mia..." I start. "I checked, we did our usual checks. He is clean, the usual normal Playboy only this one has a mysterious air around him and he is...extremely wealthy." She says. "Of course he is, he is spending a hundred thousand dollars on a freaking dance around a pole," I reply. "Wait, he knows it's just dancing right? No funny business?" "I made that clear to him, he has gone through all the usual drills, Red, you have nothing to worry about." "Okay then." "So? Are you taking it?" She asked. Did she even have to ask? I am definitely taking it. "Hell yeah, I'm going to give the man the best dance ever. He won't be forgetting it anytime soon"Pasha mengangguk kuat-kuat, dia sendiri tidak habis pikir apa motif Ririn melakukan itu. Disuruh Roni kah? “Apa? Jadi Ririn adalah salah satu pelaku?” Siska terbelalak lebar ketika Pasha menyampaikan apa yang dilihatnya tadi. Pasha mengangguk. “Benar-benar keterlaluan, dia sudah bikin aku dan sahabatku malu luar biasa. Aku harus telepon Roni sekarang!” “Buat apa, mau bikin keributan?” “Istrinya yang kurang kerjaan, masa suaminya sampai tidak tahu?” Pasha juga sama herannya, dia tidak kuasa menahan Siska yang terlihat memendam emosi tak tertahankan. Sementara itu, Roni sedang berada di jalan ketika ponselnya berdering nyaring. “Siska ... Halo?” “Ron, kamu tuh bisa mendidik istri kamu atau tidak sebenarnya?” Siska langsung menyembur telinga Roni dengan api kemarahan. “Maksud kamu apa?” “Aku yang seharusnya tanya, maksud Ririn apa pakai ngumbar-ngumbar masa lalu aku di akun berita online?” “Aku tidak paham, ini aku juga baru saja dihubungi polisi karena Ririn ada di sana!” “B
Pasha memeluk bahu Siska dengan penuh kehangatan. “Aku janji akan menyelesaikan ini semua, aku juga resah sama pemberitaan itu.” “Maaf ....” “Jangan minta maaf, bukan salahmu.” Siska membalas pelukan Pasha dengan erat, dia bertekad ingin menatap langsung wajah pelaku yang telah mengganggu ketenangan hidupnya itu. “Pokoknya siapapun dia, aku mau dia dihukum berat.” “Pasti, biar dijadikan pelajaran oleh siapa pun untuk tidak menggali masa lalu seseorang seenak jidat.” Setelah pembicaraan mereka berakhir, Siska memutuskan untuk tidur karena dia ingin berangkat lebih awal ke kantor. “Gimana, Mas?” Di kediaman Roni, Ririn sedang menghidangkan secangkir teh hangat dan roti selai. “Aku dapat beberapa kontrak dari klien baru,” kata Roni memberi tahu. “Apakah klien itu dari mereka-mereka yang membatalkan kerja sama dengan perusahaan saingan kamu?” “Aku tidak tahu, karena aku tidak pernah tanya-tanya soal itu. Menurutku tidak bagus kalau kita terlalu menunjukkan kesenangan kita atas b
“Tapi aku belum punya bukti untuk menguatkan kecurigaan aku,” ujar Pasha menyesalkan. “Aku juga tidak mau kalau Cuma asal tuduh saja, semua kasus di dunia ini membutuhkan bukti.” “Kamu suruh orang saja untuk memata-matai Roni, cari yang profesional.” Ezra mengusulkan. “Oke, tapi aku juga harus tanya pendapat Siska dulu. Jangan sampai apa yang aku lakukan justru menimbulkan masalah baru.”Ezra memandang Pasha dengan sangat serius.“Kamu bertindak terlalu hati-hati ternyata.”“Bukankah harus? Keselamatan istri dan anak-anak sambungku juga harus dipikirkan,” kilah Pasha.“Aku setuju kalau yang kita bicarakan ini adalah tentang Shadan atau Monic yang agak-agak psikopat, tapi Roni? Aku bahkan tidak tahu menahu latar belakangnya selain dia adalah mantan suami Siska.”Pasha terdiam.“Dia pernah mendapat kontrak kerja di edisi sebelumnya,” katanya mengingatkan.“Ya, dua poin itu.”Setelah mempertimbangkan baik buruknya, pasha akhirnya setuju untuk mengintai Roni diam-diam.Beber
“Aku tahu Vit, kamu tidak perlu khawatir. Pasha tidak tinggal diam, aku yakin Pak Ezra juga akan berbuat sesuatu untuk pelaku yang sudah menyebarkan masa lalu kita ke orang banyak.” “Ezra juga mulai mengusut masalah ini, Sis. Biasanya dia kerja sama dengan suami kamu dalam segala hal kan?” Siska mengangguk. “Aku penasaran siapa pelakunya.” “Apa mungkin ... pelakunya adalah Yura?” Siska menatap Kavita dengan sangat lekat. “Tapi aku tidak ada urusan apa-apa sama Yura, Vit. Kalau betul dia pelakunya, maka sama saja dia sudah mengibarkan bendera perang terhadapku.” Kavita diam sambil berpikir. “Betul juga, kalau sama aku sih wajar. Yura tidak punya motif apa-apa untuk menjatuhkan kamu atau perusahaan Pak Pasha.” Sepasang sahabat itu sibuk berpikir dengan logika masing-masing. “Otakku buntu, aku tidak punya tersangka yang bisa aku curigai.” Siska akhirnya menyerah. “Kalau begitu biarkan suami-suami kita yang menyelidikinya.” “Betul, kamu juga jangan terlalu kepikiran. Masa lalu b
“Ke depan kan kamu nggak tahu apa yang terjadi, Say! Lagian kamu kenapa nggak pinjam anak dari keluarga kamu saja sih, masa ini anak dari mantan istri suami ....”“Hati-hati tersaingi, lho!”Ririn tersenyum saja, dia merasa tidak level untuk bersaing dengan Aruna yang masih anak kecil.“Ya sudah yuk, n
Aruna mengangguk-angguk kepalanya dengan pipi menggelembung penuh kue, menggemaskan sekali.Malamnya, Ririn menekuk wajahnya di hadapan Roni sementara Aruna bermain boneka di atas karpet.“Runa nggak tidur?” tanya Ririn dengan wajah mengantuk.“Nanti tidur sama ayah, Tante.”Ririn menatap Roni, minta pe
“Mas Roni masih kerja,” kata Ririn memberi tahu. “Aku minta dia untuk mencari alamat rumah suami kamu, makanya aku datang ke sini untuk bertanya langsung sama Runa.” “Jadi kamu sudah bertemu Runa?” “Ya, dia mau-mau saja tuh aku bujuk untuk tinggal sama aku. Nggak seperti yang kamu bilang kalau Runa
“Runa, bawa mainan ini ke kamar ya?” pinta Roni sambil tersenyum. “Terima kasih, Yah!” Setelah Aruna menghilang ke dalam rumah, Roni lantas memandang Siska. “Ririn bikin keributan atau kamu dan Pasha sengaja mengeroyok dia?” “Apa kamu bilang? Kami mengeroyok? Astaga, benar kan? Dia pasti playing vic
