Ano Ang Ama

Warning⚠️⚠️ Area 21++ Sutra tidak pernah menyangka, bekerja sebagai pelayan di keluarga Deodola justru menjerumuskannya ke dunia yang penuh rahasia. Tugasnya sederhana—mengantarkan makanan ke apartemen Tuan Muda Kama, putra satu-satunya keluarga Deodola yang sedang “dihukum” dan dijauhkan dari mansion. Namun, setiap pertemuan justru membuat Sutra semakin mengenali sisi lain sang pewaris bahwa ia dingin, kesepian, dan terluka. Di balik tatapan tajam itu, ada rahasia yang bahkan keluarganya sendiri tidak tahu. Sutra tahu batasnya—ia hanya pelayan, bukan seseorang yang boleh jatuh hati. Tapi batas itu perlahan kabur… sejak Kama mulai memanggil namanya dengan nada yang berbeda saat dirinya terjebak obat yang membuat Sutra tak hanya melayani Kama, namun juga hasrat dan nafsunya. “Tubuhku panas. Aku butuh sesuatu dari dalam dirimu. Tugasmu saat ini, bagaimana caranya agar aku bisa melakukan pelepasan. Terserah, kau mau mengeluarkannya dengan cara apa, Sutra.”

Primadona sekolah akan menikah tepat di hari libur kemerdekaan. Dia mengundang seluruh teman sekelas di grup kelas agar menghadiri pesta pernikahannya. Awalnya, aku berniat pura-pura tidak melihat undangan itu, tapi ternyata dia langsung menyebut namaku. "Clarisa, waktu SMA kamu selalu pura-pura jadi diriku, tapi aku nggak akan mempermasalahkannya. Aku harap kamu bisa datang untuk melihat pernikahan mewahku besok." Segera setelah itu, beberapa teman sekelas ikut menanggapi pesannya. "Primadona sekolah memang baik orangnya, pantas saja bisa menikah dengan anak dari Keluarga Wirawan. Dia bahkan bisa memaafkan orang sombong seperti Clarisa." "Apa orang seperti Clarisa pantas, menghadiri pernikahan primadona sekolah kita yang akan diadakan di vila? Jadi orang jangan terlalu baik." Mereka makin mengolok-olok Clarisa, hingga si primadona sekolah akhirnya muncul untuk menenangkan suasana. "Sudahlah, itu kan sudah lama sekali, aku juga sudah nggak mempermasalahkannya. Lagipula, Clarisa kan memang miskin dan jelek, kita jangan terlalu mengejeknya." Begitu dia berkata demikian, grup langsung dipenuhi pesan pujian. Orang-orang memuji betapa baik hati dan polosnya dia. Aku tertawa sinis. Dulu, si primadona sekolah itu selalu memasang citra bak putri konglomerat di sekolah. Dia bahkan memfitnahku, yang sebenarnya adalah putri keluarga konglomerat asli, sebagai seorang pembohong. Semua orang di sekolah sampai menghinaku. Saat membuka undangan elektronik darinya, aku baru sadar bahwa alamat pernikahannya berlokasi di vila milik keluargaku. Makin kuamati foto pengantin pria, makin aku merasa familier. Bukankah itu sopir suamiku? Aku tersenyum begitu menyadarinya, lalu membalas pesan di grup. "Baiklah, aku pasti akan datang di acara pernikahanmu."

After my husband died in a car accident, I worked tirelessly running a small restaurant to raise my son, Henry. Right before Henry's wedding, I won eight million in the lottery. Thrilled, I decided to sell the restaurant and finally enjoy retirement. So, I called to tell Henry about selling the restaurant, his usually polite fiancée turned hostile. "You're not expecting us to support you, are you? We've barely started working!" She even warned Henry, "If you spend any of our money on your mom, the wedding's off!" Henry argued with her but then reassured me, promising, "You've worked hard enough, Mom. I'll take care of you." Feeling pretty good, I planned to give him two million to start a business. The next day, I got a call saying Henry had been in a serious car accident and urgently needed fifty thousand for surgery. I sent the money immediately, but afterward, Henry vanished. Desperate, I braved a storm to find him in his city, only to walk into a wedding at some fancy hotel. There's Henry, giving a toast and calling another woman "Mom." And, oh, sitting beside her? My "dead" husband from ten years ago.

Lagi akong ikinukunsidera ng pamilya ko na tagapagdala ng kamalasan. Dahil ito sa nakikita ko ang countdown bago mamatay ang mga kamag-anak ko. Sinabi ko sa kanila kung kailan mamamatay si lolo, ama, at ina. Nagkakatotoo ito dahil sa iba’t ibang mga aksidente. Ang tatlong mga kapatid ko ay kinamumuhian ako mula sa kaibuturan nila dahil sa tingin nila isinumpa ko ang mga magulang ko at lolo. Ang nanay ko ay namatay matapos iluwal ang nakababata kong kapatid na babae, pero ang mga kapatid ko ay walang tigil siyang iniispoil. Sinasabi nila na siya ang suwerte nila dahil nagiging okay ang lahat para sa pamilya sa oras na iluwal siya. Pero hindi ba’t namatay si Ina noong iniluwal siya? Sa ika-18th kong kaarawan, nakikita ko ang death countdown kapag tinitignan ko ang sarili ko sa salamin. Bumili ako ng urn at naghanda ng pagkain. Gusto ko kumain ng huling beses kasama ang mga kapatid ko, pero walang nagpakita sa kanila noong nag zero na ang timer...
