Any Man

Tahu rasanya bertahun dalam ikatan halal tapi tak dicintai? Dia menikahiku karena pelarian, kemudian meninggalkanku begitu saja saat kekasihnya telah menjanda, pun saat bertahun diri ini menunggu cintanya. Aku Mentari, istri seorang dokter jenius dan ternama, Mas Rian. Kalau ada yang bertanya siapa yang dicintai Mas Rian? Jawabannya sudah pasti, tentu bukan aku. Dia menikahiku karena kekasihnya yang seprofesi memilih meninggalkannya demi karir dan lelaki lain. Setelah enam bulan pernikahan, Mas Rian baru menyentuhku, itupun sambil menyebut nama wanita pujaannya. Dan mulai dari situ, setiap dia mendatatangiku nama Dokter Juwita tanpa pernah absen diejanya. Sungguh sesak luar biasa. Meski demikian, aku tetap menyimpan harap untuknya. Karena selain Mas Rian memenuhi semua kebutuhanku secara berlebih, juga ada anak yang membuat kian subur rasa ini. "Ini bukan salahku, tapi takdir yang memang harus berlaku," ucap Mas Rian tanpa dosa apalagi meminta maaf sebagai kata perpisahan. Duh ... Ada yang patah tapi bukan ranting. Ada yang merembes tapi bukan darah. Sebegitu sakitnya mencintai dalam pengabaian? Sebegitu perihnya berharap dalam ketidak perdulian? Namun, tak mampu untuk berpaling. Hiks .... Belum genap sebulan kepergian Mas Rian, Bapak menghadap ke Ilahi karena stres mengetahui kehancuran rumah tanggaku. Lengkaplah sudah penderitaan ini. Entah kenapa suatu hari, Mas Rian memaksa mengambil putra semata wayang kami, Abram. Padahal dia tahu pasti hanya anak itu penemang sepi dan pengobat laraku. Aku seperti sedang menyaksikan drama korea perpisahan antara ibu dan anak, tersebab kalah di persidangan dalam perebutan hak asuh. Cuman bedanya, di sini aku tak jadi penonton atau penikmat, melainkan pemeran utama. Ternyata berdobel-dobel sesak yang ditimbulkannya. Andai tak punya malu, mungkin aku akan histeris juga selayak sang aktris menghayati skenario. Melihat air mata tanpa dosa putraku berjatuhan akibat keegoisan papanya, perlindungan seorang ibu berontak di jiwaku. Ya, aku harus berjuang, meski sampai titik darah penghabisan dan berakhir tumbang tak dikenang.

My boyfriend pulled in two million a year. He told me that once he'd banked five hundred thousand, he'd invest in my gallery. Year one, he said the startup was bleeding money; he hadn't saved a cent. Year two, he needed a new car to keep up appearances; no funds for me. By year five, he was on his private yacht brokering a major deal and told me not to bother him. I stood outside the cabin door and listened to the laughter rolling out from inside. "If Celeste wanted to open a gallery, Eth would write her a million-dollar check without blinking." "Hell yeah. If Celeste hadn't gone abroad back then, that knockoff he's got now wouldn't even be in the picture." Ethan's voice drifted through the crack in the door, lazy, dismissive. "Enough. Emily's been with me five years. I'll still put something in for her." "She's a free drafting machine. She's not worth five hundred grand. One day's revenue at the firm, maybe. Call it round. Two thousand bucks." My eyes burned. I pulled out my phone and called the one man Ethan hated most in all of New York, Adrian Sterling. "Mr. Sterling. That partnership agreement you offered me? I'm signing it first thing tomorrow morning."

Albert Roosevelt was the crush I was never meant to have. Like an idiot, I believed loving someone meant giving them everything, even if they didn't care about you. So, I trailed after him like a desperate puppy, bending over backward to meet his every whim. When he couldn't afford tuition, I begged Dad to fund him, sending him to the best schools. When his worn-out clothes made him a laughingstock, I pitied him and showered him with designer labels. And what did he do? He used what I gave him to chase after a gold-digging campus belle. To keep up appearances, he blew through money like it grew on trees. He even spread rumors that he was the real heir to the Roosevelts. To him, I was just an ATM. "Your family's loaded. It's not like you'll miss a few hundred grand. If you're gonna be stingy, maybe you should stop following me around," he said when his wallet ran dry. And like a fool, I believed that if I kept paying, someday, he'd love me back. After graduation, I funded his startup. The second it took off, he married the campus belle. He had the nerve to claim he earned everything through nothing but hard work. So, I crashed his wedding, and he buried a knife in my chest. "Only when you're dead, Eve Roosevelt. Only then will my pathetic past stay buried." When I opened my eyes again, I was face-to-face with a scowling Albert. "You can't scrape together a few hundred thousand dollars? It's Bianca's birthday. Are you trying to humiliate me?" I looked around the room and rolled my eyes. "Sure, I'll pay. But first? Kneel. You look pretty enough. Consider it charity, peasant."
