View MoreSuamiku Jadul
Namamya kuno, Parlindungan, biasa dipanggil Parlin. Tak punya akun F*, apalagi I*. Nomor kontak di HP-nya hanya lima belas, semuanya keluarga. Itulah suamiku. Kakakku menyebutnya suami jadul yang hidup di tahun delapan puluhan.
"Enak juga punya suami jadul ya, orang sibuk dengan HP-nya masing-masing, dia justru cabut rumput," kata kakakku seraya menunjuk suamiku yang lagi cabut rumput. Perkataan kakakku itu justru seperti hinaan untukku.
Saat itu kami seperti biasa berkumpul, semacam arisan tak resmi, kami satu keluarga selalu berkumpul setiap bulan di rumah orang tua. Ya, memang begitu, ketika semua orang sibuk dengan hp-nya, suamiku justru membersihkan halaman rumah orang tua. Kadang aku malu juga, entah apa kelebihan suamiku ini, sehingga ayah dulu ngotot menjodohkan kami.
"Maklumi aja, orang kampung memang keahliannya cabut rumput," kata kakak iparku seraya tertawa.
Kami keluarga besar berjumlah enam orang, aku nomor tiga, akan tetapi akulah yang terakhir menikah. Ketika adik paling bungsu sudah punya anak, aku baru dapat jodoh, itupun dijodohkan ayah. Orang kampung, pengangguran pula. Aku bilang pengangguran karena memang dia tak kerja, seharian hanya di rumah. Akan tetapi dia rutin kasih uang belanja. Entah dia dapat dari mana aku tak tahu. Kami baru tiga bulan menikah. Aku bahkan belum tahu dia kerja apa?
Penampilannya juga memang kuno, masih setia dengan rambut gobel, masih setia dengan celana keeper. Di rumah seharian justru hanya pakai sarung.
"Gaul dikit napa, Bang?" kataku pada suami, ketika dia lagi sibuk membersihkan halaman. Kudatangi dia, karena tak tahan cibiran saudaraku sendiri.
"Gak percaya diri abang, Dek, cerita mereka urusan kantor terus, aku hanya tau rumput," jawab suami seraya terus mencabuti rumput.
"Udah kalau gitu aku ikut cabuti rumput," jawabku seraya duduk dan mulai kerja.
Perkenalan kami dulu sangat singkat sebelum menikah, hanya kenalan sepuluh hari baru akad nikah.
"Kau percaya pada Ayah, Nia?" begitu kata Ayah sewaktu mengenalkan kami.
"Tentu saja percaya, Ayah," jawabku.
"Menikahlah dengannya," kata Ayah lagi, seraya menunjuk pria jadul itu.
Saat itu aku hanya diberi waktu berpikir satu hari, kuterima dengan pertimbangan umur yang sudah kepala tiga, karena aku juga percaya pada Ayah, tak mungkin dia menjerumuskan putrinya sendiri. Kami menikah sepuluh hari kemudian. Aku bahkan belum pernah dibawa ke rumah mertua. Kenal mertua hanya ketika resepsi saja. Aneh kan? akan tetapi itulah hidupku.
Kami kumpul ketika makan siang, enam anak dan enam menantu semua berkumpul di meja makan. Ayah mulai bicara.
"Ayah berencana mau umroh, tapi uangnya tak ada, bersediakah kalian membantu Ayah?" tanya Ayah.
Semua kami terdiam dan saling berpandangan, belum pernah Ayah minta bantuan begini, selama ini beliaulah yang membantu kami, hampir semua anaknya diberi modal untuk usaha sendiri.
"Ayah tahu usaha lagi sepi, tapi kubantu juga satu juta," kata abangku yang tertua.
Satu juta? dia yang paling lumayan hidupnya hanya bantu satu juta, bagaimana yang lain.
"Aku juga satu juta," kata kakak yang nomor dua. Dan disambung saudara yang lain hanya bisa bantu lima ratus ribu.
Tinggal aku, kulihat suamiku yang seperti biasanya hanya diam saja.
"Batalkan saja, Ayah, hanya dapat empat juta, biaya umroh dah berapa?" kata abangku yang tertua.
"Sisanya aku yang talangi," kata suami tiba-tiba.
Semua mata mengarah ke suami, aku juga ikut melihat suamiku itu, bagaimana dia bisa bicara begitu, sedangkan rumah kami saja masih ngontrak, beli HP saja dia tak mampu?
"Bang?" kataku pada suami lebih tepatnya bertanya, ingin melihat kesungguhan.
"Iya, aku bayar semua," kata suami, nada suaranya kedengeran yakin sekali.
Ayah menutup pembicaraan dengan mengucapkan "Alhamdulillah" lalu beliau masuk kee kamarnya.
"Aku yakin Ayah prank ini," kata adik bungsuku.
"Kok kau bilang gitu?"
"Dia hanya menguji kita, aku yakin sekali, makanya si Parlin berani talangi semua, pasti ayah sudah bicara duluan dengan Parlin, Ayah kan akrab sama dia," kata abangku yang tertua.
"Beli bedakmu saja dia gak mampu, mau berangkatkan Ayah umroh lagi?" sambung kakakku yang nomor dua.
Kulirik suami, dia hanya diam seperti biasa. Ini suami macam apa, orang membicarakan dia di dekatnya sendiri dia diam.
"Andaipun benar, aku yakin itu uang ayah juga, pengangguran gitu dari mana dapat uang banyak?" sambung Adikku.
Segera kutarik tangan suami dari orang ramai, kuajak dia bicara berdua. Aku tak habis pikir, HP-nya saja masih HP Nokia jadul.
"Bang, apa benar?" tanyaku setelah kami berduaan.
"Iya, Dek, benar."
"Bang, kalau memang ada uang abang segitu, lebih baik beli motor baru, HP baru aja," kataku lagi.
"Lo, kok adek gitu? itu orang tuamu, Dek, mungkin ini keinginan terakhirnya."
"Baik, dari mana Abang ambil uang segitu?"
"Itu hanya satu sapi, Dek,"
"Satu sapi?"
"Iya, Dek, hanya seharga satu sapi."
When I awoke, I felt more like myself. The overwhelming urge for human blood was now just a slight nagging in the recesses of my mind. The anger and excessive energy I experienced was gone. I smiled with satisfaction when I opened my eyes and the world looked normal again.I looked for Geo or Luthias, but neither was in the room. Although I was still bound to the bed, the heavy rope that pinned me motionless was removed, leaving only my wrists tied to the bedposts. I estimated that, if I really wanted to, I could break free. I just didn’t want to.What I wanted was Geo.I called out for him, but got no reply.I tried again.Still nothing.I looked out through the broken glass. It was morning. Soon the sun would be beating directly on me. I felt its intense rays even then. I needed to be free of the ties so I could move away from the window. I called for Geo again. When he didn’t respond,
All thoughts of my dilemma with Geo and Luthias came to a halt when my grandmother burst into the room and announced Prince Vogel was outside with a band of vampires and was boisterously demanding the return of his wife.My blood went cold.“Stay in here and lock the door behind me lass,” Gwendoline hissed as she darted from the room.I found it incredulous that a witch as familiar with vampires as she was would tell me to lock a door to keep one out, but I padded my bare feet across my wool carpet to obey her orders anyway. My heart was threatening to climb into my throat as I pressed my ear against the door to hear what was being said on the other side. This was a time when I truly longed for vampire hearing.From what I could make out, my witchy protectors decided there was no sense trying to hide the cabin, since Sybil had already located it and the cat was out of the bag. Instead, they placed a force field around us and so far it wa
My grandmother and Gwendoline were hovered together at the foot of my bed when I awoke. They were talking too softly for me to understand their words, but it was clear they were concerned.“What happened,” I asked as I struggled to get up.Gwendoline rushed to my side and gently pushed me back down onto the bed.“Ye need to lie still, lass,” she said gently. “That babe inside ye took a beating during your battle to save Luthias. He’s debating whether to stay in there or leave us.”I could see the moistness in Gwendoline’s eyes as she struggled to control her emotions.“I’m losing my baby?” I said incredulously.My grandmother pulled a chair up next to the bed and sat down to comfort me as she’d done so many times over the years.“You fought ferociously, sweetheart. The strain on your body, combined with Sybil’s full weight slamming on
When my grandparents rushed into my bedroom to investigate the noise my entrance caused, they found me lying face down in my own vomit. I was too weak to explain to them my whereabouts over the last weeks or how I managed to make it home, but that didn’t stop them from trying to get it out of me. I didn’t blame them for their incessant questions. Since it was my intention to merely question Geo about Sybil and not go with him to meet her, I hadn’t told them where I was going or what I was about. I can only imagine the worry my disappearance caused them.They were incredibly curious about where I’d been, but were also considerate -once they’d recovered from the shock of finding me face down in my own vomit on my bedroom floor- enough to recognize I wasn’t physically up to telling them. My grandfather lifted me from my pool of sick and lovingly carried me into the bathroom where my grandmother was already preparing a bath. Even in
I awoke naked and covered in the residue of sweaty sex. If that wasn’t enough, I was lying on top of Luthias’s naked body. The sun’s rays filtered through the window just enough to give me a decent view of my surroundings. Luthias lay in peaceful slumber with a look of sat
Although he watched me from the corner of his eye, Geo said little for the remainder of the day. I knew I owed him an apology, but I wasn’t ready to give it. The truth was that I didn’t know what to say or how to say it. My pride wouldn’t let me admit that I was a naï
The heat of the day, exertion of searching for Geo, and an empty stomach that was finally satiated took their toll on me. I’d no sooner lied down to take the nap that I was sure I wouldn’t be able to take when Geo was shaking me awake. I looked around, a little disoriented
I lay in my narrow bed that butted against the wall of my small, but cozy, bedroom and focused on not vomiting my dinner. My conversation with my grandparents hadn’t gone as expected and my entire body was reacting. I practiced the controlled breathing method my grandparents were such
