Di hari jadi pernikahan kami, suamiku yang tidak pernah menyentuh dapur, tiba-tiba menyiapkan satu meja penuh hidangan. Setiap kali aku mencicipi satu suapan, Evan Sibana selalu bertanya dengan detail dan mencatatnya dengan serius. Di tengah-tengah itu, dia masuk ke kamar untuk menerima telepon. Itu nada dering khusus untuk asistennya, Kamila Lumban. Aku pun asal mengambil buku catatan yang dia tinggalkan di meja. Namun, aku mendapati halaman-halamannya dipenuhi catatan rapat yang sama sekali tidak ada hubungannya denganku. [Buncisnya agak mentah, Kamila harusnya nggak suka.] [Jamurnya agak keasinan, saat masak untuk Kamila nanti, ingat untuk mengurangi garam.] [Daging kambingnya terlalu perengus, saat masak untuk Kamila nanti, ganti dengan daging sapi saja.] Suamiku kembali dan hendak mengambil bukunya, tetapi dia langsung melihat apa yang sedang kulakukan. "Jenny Igmava, kamu benar-benar nggak punya sopan santun. Memangnya aku mengizinkanmu menyentuh barangku?" Baru saja aku hendak membuka mulut, kepalaku mendadak sakit luar biasa. Bayangan suamiku di hadapanku mulai berbayang. "Evan, aku merasa nggak enak badan, sepertinya karena buncis tadi belum matang ...." "Kalau begitu, aku harus cepat-cepat mencatatnya. Jadi saat masak untuk Kamila nanti, aku harus menumisnya lebih lama." Evan sama sekali tidak memedulikanku. Sambil terus menulis di bukunya, dia bergegas berjalan ke arah pintu. "Aku pergi keluar sebentar. Daya tahan tubuhmu, 'kan, bagus. Kalau merasa nggak enak badan, minum obat saja yang banyak." Sebelum pingsan, aku menelepon suamiku sekali lagi. Namun, dari seberang telepon hanya terdengar suaranya yang tidak sabaran. "Masalah sepele begini saja diributkan? Apa kamu mau mati? Kalau sudah mati, baru telepon aku lagi!" Evan, aku tidak akan pernah mencarimu lagi!

mereka sering mengira Kota itu ramai. Tapi pada kenyataannya Kota itu tak pernah benar-benar ramai, bagi Vania rumah Vania selalu terasa lebih sunyi daripada jalanan di luar sana. Rumah dua lantai dengan pagar hitam tinggi itu berdiri megah, tetapi tak pernah terasa hangat. Dindingnya kokoh, lampunya terang, namun percakapan di dalamnya selalu singkat dan seperlunya. Vania tumbuh di antara jadwal rapat dan dering telepon papahnya yang tak pernah berhenti. Pria itu selalu berangkat sebelum matahari terbit dan pulang ketika malam hampir habis.

Namun sandaran itu runtuh. Orang yang paling ia percaya justru meninggalkannya dan menghianatinya. Sejak saat itu, Vania belajar menjadi wanita yang lebih tegar. Ia yakin bahwa ia mampu melewati semuanya sendiri. Lorong sekolah, bangku taman, dan sudut perpustakaan menjadi saksi bisu tangis yang ia sembunyikan. Hari-harinya berjalan datar hingga suatu pagi, di tengah riuh langkah siswa dan bel yang menggema, takdir mempertemukan ia dengan seseorang. Seseorang yang mampu mengerti yang terdalam yang tersembunyi di balik dirinya. Dan seseorang yang mempunyai luka yang sama. Dan di sanalah cerita Vania benar-benar dimulai di antara luka yang tak kunjung sembuh, dan harapan yang diam-diam tumbuh kembali.

Pero sa loob ng tatlong taon, sikreto silang naging mag-asawa nang hindi nagsasama sa iisang bubong. Bagkus, dalawang beses sa isang buwan ay nagkikita sila ni Caden sa Montclair Villa para punan ang “obligasyon” niya sa asawa at iyon ay maging bed partner nito. Hanggang sa isang araw ay natauhan na lang si Talia. Napagtanto niya na kahit anong gawin niya ay hindi siya magagawang mahalin pabalik ni Caden. Kaya nang magpunta siya sa mansyon ng mga Montclair ay kinausap niya ang asawa at sinabing, “Caden, let's get divorce.” “You’re willing to give up being Mrs. Montclair that easily?” malamig namang tanong ni Caden. “Yes. I already prepared the documents.” Matapos niyon ay umalis na si Talia at hindi na muling nagpakita pa. Pero makalipas ang ilang taon, ay muli siyang nagbalik bilang isang babaeng may dignidad, puno ng kumpiyansa, at kinikilala sa buong bansa. At ngayon, si Caden Montclair naman ang naghahabol sa kanya at humihingi ng second chance. The man who once ignored her now can’t stop chasing her. But Talia has finally learned something he never did— love without respect isn’t love at all.

Antes que a cerimônia de noivado aconteça, meu noivo, Vincenzo Rizzi, faz um anúncio formal no convés de um navio cargueiro atracado no novo porto. Aparentemente, minha meia-irmã mais nova, Sofia Russo, será sua esposa legítima. Vincenzo envolve a cintura de Sofia com um dos braços. Enquanto estão sob os holofotes, ele sorri para ela com ternura. "De acordo com as regras da máfia, apenas aquelas que receberam o reconhecimento dos anciãos principais podem se tornar a Madre da família. As outras não passam de amantes e concubinas." Sob as bênçãos dos anciãos da família, Vincenzo presenteia Sofia com um colar de diamantes negros. Em seguida, eles trocam votos e ficam oficialmente noivos. Eu apenas assisto à cerimônia em silêncio. Depois, marco uma consulta para fazer um aborto. Amei Vincenzo desde os meus 16 anos. Agora tenho 28, ou seja, o amo há 12 anos. Ainda assim, Sofia é a única que ele já amou. Nesse caso, escolho deixá-lo ir de uma vez por todas. Depois disso, viajo para um esconderijo secreto localizado em Sombral. Tudo o que deixo para Vincenzo é uma carta informando o fim do nosso noivado e um presente de despedida. Mas o homem que nunca demonstrou preocupação comigo durante todo esse tempo acaba desmoronando, a ponto de não ter nem ânimo para lidar com os assuntos da própria família.

On the day that was supposed to be my wedding—the bride wasn’t me. The ceremony I’d waited for five years for turned into a joke when Valentina, my sister, walked down the marble aisle in a white wedding dress. Her arm was linked with Luca’s — the man who was supposed to be waiting for me at the altar. “I’m sorry, Bianca,” she said softly. “But you are no longer the bride today.” Then she touched her stomach, eyes gleaming with triumph. “I’m pregnant with Don Romano’s child.” Her words detonated inside my skull, and the whole world went silent. As if afraid I wouldn’t believe her, she lifted something glossy up towards the light. A black-and-white ultrasound image. It read clearly: Gestational age — 12 weeks. My eyes burned, tears stinging as I turned to Luca, desperately searching for anything—a denial, an explanation, regret. Instead, he only sighed, weary and resigned. “Bianca, I’m sorry.” he said helplessly. “Valentina doesn’t have much time left. This wedding… it was her last wish.” “I’ll make it up to you,” he added. “We can have another wedding later.” My father, Moretti, stood behind him, wearing the same stern expression he’d worn my entire life. I have never seen him smile at me, not even once. “Bianca,” he said sharply, “Your sister is dying. Let her have this.” My brother nodded without saying a single word, as if that was enough to be a solid answer. All my life, they had chosen her—her tears, her whims, her needs—over mine. Today was no different. Something inside me quietly cracked. Fine. If no one in this family cares about me, I’ll leave.
