Bukan kisah cinta yang berawal bahagia lantas terluka. Tapi kisah lara tentang orang tua yang amat ambisius mengejar harapan yang nyaris menyakiti perasaan. Berbagai siloka menjadi jalan cerita, berbagai diksi menjadi arti hidup ini. Berbagai lantunan sendu menjadi tangis amat pilu. Caci-maki yang selalu mengintai seakan-akan menyangkal bahwa ia tidak boleh bahagia. Meninggalkan kisah lara penuh kata penyesalan. "Ayah hidup itu tidak harus tentang nilai yang bagus. Tapi tentang seseorang yang menyayangi dengan tulus." "Ibu pintar itu tidak harus menguasai semua bidang. Satu bidang saja, jika sudah mengerti dengan perasaan orang lain, ia bukan sekedar pintar tapi jenius." "Kak pintar itu tidak harus punya piala. Sekedar mendekap lantas menyeka air mata, ia sudah pintar menghilangkan lara kita." "Aira, kamu memang berbeda tapi perbedaan itu terletak pada keistimewaan yang kamu punya. Di mana orang lain tidak memiliki itu semua. Kakak sayang kamu selamanya." "Kenapa Aira selalu dibentak ayah sama ibu? Sedangkan kak Ayu dan kak Andi gak pernah!" "Otakmu itu kecil. Berpikir pun lambat." "Ibu malu punya anak seperti kamu!" "Kakak sayang sama kamu. Kakak janji gak akan ninggalin kamu." "Kak Aira pergi sesuai permintaan kalian. Selamat tinggal." "Aira, kenapa kala itu kamu gak mengucapkan sampai jumpa lagi? Dan mungkin sekarang kita masih saling memeluk bukan menangisi kamu." "Yang sudah kamu dapat sudah seharusnya kamu dekap dengan erat."

"Mau nggak?" Aku tidak sengaja mengirim pesan tentang janji manikur dan pedikur ke kakak laki-laki sahabatku, padahal seharusnya pesan itu untuk sahabatku sendiri. Sepuluh menit kemudian, aku menerima balasan dari kakaknya: [Mireya ada di bawah, turunlah.] Aku tidak menyangka, selain usianya yang sudah matang, ternyata bagian lain miliknya juga besar. Malam itu, gairah meluap dan semuanya nyaris lepas kendali. Setelah tersadar, dia berjanji akan bertanggung jawab kepadaku. Dia sangat memanjakanku. Apa pun yang kuminta, selalu dia penuhi. Akan tetapi, ada satu syarat, yaitu aku tidak boleh mengaku bahwa aku adalah kekasihnya di depan umum. Lima tahun kemudian, dia pulang membawa seorang wanita. Sambil merangkul pinggang wanita itu, dia menyuruhku memanggilnya "Kakak Ipar". Aku bertanya kepadanya, "Kalau dia kakak iparku, lalu apa arti lima tahun penantianku untukmu?" Pria itu tersenyum santai, tetapi kata-kata yang keluar dari mulutnya membuat sekujur tubuhku terasa membeku. "Menunggu? Memangnya aku pernah memintamu untuk menunggu?" "Aurelia Faresta, ke depannya, jangan pernah lagi mencintai orang dengan begitu tulus kayak gini. Itu sungguh mengerikan." Ternyata, seluruh cinta yang kuberikan dengan segenap jiwa ragaku, hanyalah sebuah beban yang ingin dia hindari. Aku pun mulai mencoba untuk tidak lagi mencarinya, belajar untuk melepaskannya dan akhirnya … pergi meninggalkannya. Namun, seminggu kemudian, saat aku sedang mengucapkan janji suci pernikahan dengan pria lain …. Sosok pria yang dahulu begitu arogan dan penuh gairah itu, kini berdiri di bawah altar dengan mata yang memerah.

“Laki-laki itu tidak perlu ijin istri untuk menikah lagi,” katanya. Mendengar ucapan Ayah bisa kulihat Ibu malah tertunduk lagi, ada apa sebenarnya? kenapa dia hanya diam tanpa suara? “Dari sekian banyak sunah nabi kenapa harus poligami, Riana biar kutanya langsung padamu, bersediakah kamu jadi istri kedua suamiku?” “Hmm, aku, tolong kasih aku waktu, aku engga bisa ngasih keputusan sekarang,” jawab Riana. “Kenapa nak Riana bukannya kamu dan Bagas sudah saling kenal, bukankah kalian sudah dekat sejak kuliah?” tanya Ayah mertua. Hah? Apa ini jadi mereka pernah dekat? Kenapa hidup serumit ini. Lagi-lagi aku hanya bisa tersenyum menyaksikan permainan takdirku. “Kenapa Dek, kenapa kamu malah senyum,” Mas bagas menatap heran ke arahku, raut mukanya tampak gelisah mungkin dia takut aku akan meledak. “Kenapa dunia ini begitu sempit Mas? kamu sendiri gimana? maukah menikahi mantan teman sebangkuku?” Aku harus memastikan ini sendiri disaksikan kedua orang tuanya. Dia lagi-lagi tak menjawab. “Tentu saja suamimu tidak akan menolak menikah dengan wanita cantik seperti Riana, toh mereka juga sudah saling mengenal,” sambar ayah mertuaku. “Kalau tolak ukur menikahi wanita hanya dilihat dari kecantikannya, apakah setelah menikah ada jaminan dia akan memiliki anak laki-laki, kalau tidak bukankah semuanya sia-sia.” Rasa sakit tak melulu harus ditampakkan dengan air mata, dan senyum tak selamanya memiliki arti bahagia. Senyum itu mampu menghilangkan luka walau hanya sekejap. Memberikan kekuatan baru agar aku bisa lebih kuat menghadapi kenyataan pahit.
