Pusara SuamikuGerimis sore itu mengiringi langkah kecil Mala menuju gundukan tanah basah di pemakaman umum tak jauh dari rumahku. Tanah lembab yang dia pijak makin membuat langkahnya melambat, seolah bekerja sama dengan semesta agar wanita itu memiliki kekuatan lebih saat mendekati tempat yang dituju.Mala membetulkan kerudung yang menutupi kepalanya. Entahlah, Dia hanya merasa harus memperhatikan penampilannya saat mengunjungi pemilik pusara itu. Penuh sesak dia paksakan tiap tarikan napas saat mendekati tempat pembaringan terakhir laki-laki yang sudah menemani hidupnya selama lima tahun terakhir.Ya…Suaminya menghembuskan napas untuk yang terakhir kali sore kemarin. Tak ada sakit apapun yang dideritanya. Tak ada kalimat perpisahan apapun yang dia sampaikan padanya. Laki-laki itu pergi begitu saja. Lima tahun dia menghabiskan waktu dengannya, tak pernah sekali pun Bayumeninggalkannya. Kini dia harus merasakan untuk pertama kali berpisah bukan untuk sehari atau dua hari, tetapi untuk selamanya.Sekuat apapun dia mengurai sesak, nyatanya tak benar-benar bisa berhasil. Dunianya hancur dalam sekejap, tak ada yang tersisa. Seperti mati tapi nyatanya sakit yang dirasakan tetap membuatnya tersadar bahwa dia masih dipercaya Tuhan untuk tetap berdiri tegak di bumi ini.Kali ini, untuk pertama kalinya Mala mengunjungi nisan suaminya setelah kemarin sore berkali-kali pingsan hingga tak bisa mengantar Bayu ke tempat barunya. Mala masih tak percaya, Bayu yang baru pulang beberapa menit dari tempatnya mencari nafkah tiba-tiba mengeluhkan sesak di dadanya. Mala yang mengira itu hanya efek kelelahan memberikan air putih hangat yang langsung dihabiskannya hingga tandas.Setelahnya, Bayu meminta untuk tetap berada di sampingnya. Dia mengamati wajah coklat di sisinya yang kian kesulitan menarik napas. Mala berteriak memanggil Bude Rumi—tetangganya tepat di depan rumah. Dengan gerakannya yang lemah, Mas Bayu meminta Mala untuk memeluknya.Wanita itu terus saja meminta Bayu untuk bertahan. Sayangnya, laki-laki itu tak merespon kalimatnya. Hingga Bude Rumi datang, dia baru menyadari bahwa laki-laki itu telah pergi untuk selama-lamanya. Dia seperti merasa langit runtuh seketika menimpa tubuhnya. Mala tak menyangka keluhan yang dia kira ringan itu sebagai pertanda laki-laki itu akan pergi selama-lamanya.Tak hanya Mala, anaknya pun harus merasakan ditinggal oleh sang ayah selama-lamanya. Kinanti yang baru berusia tiga tahun nampak lunglai di pelukan Bude Rumi, tetangga yang sudah dia anggap sebagai orang tuanya sendiri."Ardan?" ucapnya tersentak saat menyadari adik bungsu suaminya tengah berada di makam kakaknya. Tak hanya itu, seorang wanita berkerudung hitam dengan kacamata hitam pula tengah memberikan sebuket bunga di depan nisan Bayu. Wanita itu memalingkan wajah saat Mala menelisik wajahnya. Mala menguras ingatan untuk mengingat siapa wanita ini. Perasaannya mengatakan bahwa dia pernah melihat wanita itu sebelumnya."Mbak? A-aku mengantar Mbak Rita. Di-a… Dia saudara sepupu kami, ingin melihat makam Mas Bayu. Kemarin dia tak sempat mengunjungi rumah duka saat Mas Bayu tidak ada. Jadi dia memintaku mengantarnya langsung ke makam," terang Ardan. Mala merasakan ada yang aneh, sepertinya dia melihat gurat kecemasan di wajah adik iparnya itu. Dia mengalihkan pandangan ke arah perempuan yang masih duduk di depan pusara Bayu. Dari gerakan tangannya, dia mencoba menghapus lelehan air mata di pipinya."Mbak. Yang sabar, ya. Kita semua kehilangan Mas Bayu. Apalagi dia meninggal dengan cara mendadak seperti ini. Mudah-mudahan Mas Bayu diberi jalan yang lapang serta diampuni dosa-dosanya," lanjut Ardan saat Mala masih asyik menelisik perempuan bernama Rita itu.Tak lama, Ardan berpamitan padanya untuk pulang terlebih dahulu. Mala mengangguk perlahan. Rita mengekor di belakang Ardan tanpa mengucap sepatah kata pun padanya. Mala mencoba memahami, barangkali sepupu suaminya itu juga merasa terpukul atas kepergian Bayu.Beberapa saat kemudian dia hanya termenung di depan tanah kubur suaminya. Berkali-kali dia mencoba menyadarkan diri bahwa dirinya tak sedang berada di alam mimpi. Mala tak menyangka saat sarapan pagi kemarin adalah sarapan terakhirnya di dunia.Bayu yang tak pernah meminta menu khusus tiba-tiba menginginkan sarapan semur ayam yang Mala buat sendiri. Mala tak menyangka, pesannya siang hari saat jam makan siang yang mengatakan bahwa Bayu merindukannya adalah pesannya yang terakhir.Beberapa hari sebelumnya saat mereka tengah menikmati suasana malioboro malam hari Bayu merancang perayaan kecil-kecilan ulang tahun pernikahan mereka yang ke lima. Laki-laki itu ingin menyewa villa di kawasan Baturraden. Mala yang tak punya firasat apapun hanya tersenyum senang saat Bayu membuat rencana tersebut.Dia tak menyangka foto bertiga mereka tengah duduk di warung lesehan kawasan malioboro adalah foto terakhir yang mereka abadikan. Dia tak menyangka, kepergian mereka ke Jogja adalah perjalanan bersama mereka yang terakhir.Bayu, laki-laki penuh kelembutan dan sangat menyanyangi keluarga itu harus pergi selama-lamanya meninggalkan Mala yang harus tegak berdiri demi seorang gadis mungil yang bahkan tak dekat dengan laki-laki lain selain ayahnya.Dia tak tahu bagaimana menjelaskan pada Kinanti yang tiap sore duduk dengan setia di depan pintu rumah menunggu ayahnya yang pasti akan mengangkat tubuhnya tinggi-tinggi, tak peduli meski seharian ini pekerjaannya menuntut energi yang luar biasa dari tubuhnya.Entah bagaimana Mala melanjutkan hidup, sementara separuh nyawanya saja sudah terbaring tak berdaya tersimpan di balik tanah merah di depannya.***CHAPTER 6: WHAT IS MINE“They won’t let me go out there, daddy.” Natasha came back, her furrow brows shows frustration, but it wasn’t just her. Her entire family are stressed out, now that David’s men are guarding their house for the meantime to make sure that they wouldn’t run away.“Damn it!” Mathew cursed.“Oh, sweetheart, it’s not your fault.” His wife came to him. “If there’s somebody to blame, it’s not you, nobody between us…but it’s Anna.”“That witch still causes us trouble, even if she wasn’t here!” Natasha agreed.“Don’t worry, we’ll get through it…” But then, a wicked idea came to Ellen’s head. “Wait. Since we’ve already marry her off, why don’t we get something from it, honey?”“You’re talking about digging our own grave, Ellen.” Mathew rolled his eyes. “If David won’t kill us, then we’ll probably die living in that mansion. The Salvador’s are evil; they are savages— ““Not to any woman.” A wretched smile spread from her lips. “Don’t worry, I have a plan.”ANNA’S POINT OF
CHAPTER 5: THE DEVIL’S FAMILYAnna castigated herself, it wasn’t supposed to be like this, but staring back at him, all of the courage she musters were drove away. His presence made her shrunk, his intense gaze made her tongue tied, and all she could was stared at him. Powerless, and meek.And Anna hated it.The more she thinks about it, the more she felt stupider.A knock from the door draws her attention.“Come in—“Helen marched unannounced. Behind her were two maids, and her lips were upturned. She did not even make an effort to hide how much she dislikes her.“We were sent here to make sure that you’ll be prepared for tonight, Mrs. Salvador.” She scorned.The two young maids behind her cowered in fear.“Prepared for what?” Anna ignored her disdain.Her plate is full already. She doesn’t want to deal with her…for now.“What a pity that our Lord had not even informed his little wife about his family’s get together.” Helen’s voice is full of mockery.Anna would have made a remark a
CHAPTER 4: BE MY WIFE, ACT LIKE ONE“She did not eat?” Romanov removed his glasses.Aiden stood before him. His eyes are on the floor as he reported. Anna still refuses to touched her food. If it continues, she’ll go sick and for unknown reason, it worries him. But perhaps, it wasn’t because he cares, but by the fact that he was anticipating what would may his Lord does. It was least for the entire Salvador’s men to hear that he married a woman, who drugged him the other night. Much more to think that Anna became a missus—Mrs. Salvador and everybody was curious why he married her, when there’s a lot of candidate proposing underneath the powerful Romanov Salvador. A heir and a billionaire, who rise up to Power at young age.Romanov was recognized by the Forbes, and were featured to different magazines. Women swoon and drool as he walked, but nobody have gotten his attention, so why Anna now?“She haven’t been eating since she was locked up there, Sir, “ said Aiden. “I am afraid that if
CHAPTER 3: NATASHA IN EXCHANGE FOR ANNAANNA MASON’S POINT OF VIEWThe cell, where I was kept alive was cold and damp. The walls are thick, and it was dark. The only thing that was keeping me sane was the sound of water, a few drops coming from the cracks on the ceiling and a few guards, who would check on me, but never utter a single word. They would watch, but other than that, they would stay for a few moment outside of my cell and then they would left.My throat is parched. My lips are dry and the smell of rotten food I ignored for days made my stomach to churn. Disgust filled me, in spite of my hardened countenance.I don’t know how long had I been here. I lost count, when Romanov’s men dragged me down here after my family was freed. The only thing that was clear on hindsight is anger, resentment that fueled my hate asking why those Mason’s did not rot here together with me.They deserve to die here and not celebrate their released!A familiar sound knocked me back to reality. The
CHAPTER 2: TAKEN BY FORCE, CONTRACT MARRIAGEIt didn’t take long. Half an hour, multiple unfamiliar cars screeched to a halt right outside the Mason’s mansion. The guards who were on duty looked baffled, they were dumbstruck especially, when men who were clad on expensive black suit marched as if they own the place.“Who are you? Leave this instant or we’re calling the police!”“You can’t just barge in here…!”“What’s all with the commotion?” When Mathew Mason, Anna’s father heard that unknown men were marching into his mansion, he rushed out, but fear engulfs him when he took a peek.They looks intimidating, that mad him scared shitless—but who the hell sent them?“We wanted Anna Mason. Give her to us and nobody needs to be hurt.”Mathew realizes something.Who else would want that little wrench of a daughter he has anyway?Of course it had to be that old man, who had paid for her the previous night! The fact that he fancy Anna made him disgusted at the same time relieved because he
CHAPTER 1: SOLD INNOCENCE, ONE NIGHT STAND WITH A TYRANT WARNING FOR 18+ This may involve scenes that is not appropriate for a young reader. Everything was a mess, even Iwas in the state of shock for what happened. The large bed in the presidential suite I was lured in was crumpled, evidently suggesting about what occurred last night. Clothes lay on the floor, tattered dress, undergarments, socks and shoes thrown carelessly. Anna felt fear while staring at the man’s godly features, although his eyes was glaring at her viciously. His gaze are intense as if he wanted to kill her and the coldness coming from them sent chills to the bone. He was mad, he was beyond furious as he clutch her wrist—hard. “You fucking wrench! How dare you tricked me?!” He didn’t, she was the one who had been tricked by her own parents. “Get the hell out of here or I will fucking tear you into shreds!” His voice thunders across the room. “Ouch!” Anna flinched, when he harshly let go of her hand.
