Atonement Ian Mcewan

Aku menarik sabuk pengamanku erat-erat, memegang sandaran kursi penumpang dengan satu tangan dan dipeluk erat oleh pria di belakangku sementara aku sedikit menangis tersentak. Tubuhnya yang tinggi memeluk erat tubuhku yang ringkih, tangannya yang membelai pinggangku membuat tangisan dan napasku semakin sesak. Akhirnya aku tidak tahan dan memohon, “Jangan, jangan di sini, ya?” “Jadi ke rumahmu? Hmm?” Suaranya begitu dekat hingga tubuhku langsung melemas saat mendengarnya, aku memalingkan kepalaku, tidak berani menatapnya dan hanya berkata, “Baiklah.”

Adik tiriku menuduhku membuatnya alergi, jadi ketiga kakakku mengurungku di dalam ruang bawah tanah, bahkan mengunci pintu. Aku mengetuk pintu dengan kuat dan memohon para kakakku membiarkanku keluar. Kakak pertamaku selaku orang yang hebat dalam bisnis memarahiku sebelum dia pergi. "Biasanya kamu menindas Linda, aku bisa tutup sebelah mata. Tapi kamu tahu jelas kalau Linda alergi dengan seafood, kamu malah membiarnya makan, bukankah ini sama saja mencelakainya? Kamu di dalam introspeksi diri atas perbuatanmu." Kakak keduaku adalah penyanyi terkenal, sedangkan kakak ketigaku adalah pelukis genius, mereka juga mengataiku. "Orang kejam sepertimu, bisa-bisanya pura-pura nggak bersalah dan mencari alasan, kamu di dalam saja dan introspeksi diri." Selesai berbicara, mereka menggendong adik tiri yang masih gemetar ke rumah sakit dengan cepat. Aku merasa tidak ada oksigen lagi, bahkan merasa makin susah bernapas, akhirnya aku mati di dalam. Tiga hari kemudian, saat para kakakku membawa adik tiri pulang dari rumah sakit, mereka baru ingat padaku. Hanya saja, aku sudah meninggal di ruang bawah tanah karena kekurangan oksigen.

To save my unconscious Alpha fiancé, I got trapped in a glacial crevasse on the frozen mountain. I tried to reach him through our bond ninety-nine times, but he blocked me out completely. When he finally found me seven days later, his first words were an accusation. "Elara damaged her eyes trying to save me, and you just had to cause trouble right now!" "You're a trained mountain warrior. How could you get trapped in a small crevasse for seven days?" "I've had enough of your games. Let's break off our engagement." He thought I would cry and argue like before. But I just nodded. "Okay." He didn't know I hit my head when I fell trying to save him. In seven days, I would completely forget him. But when I finally left him completely as he'd promised, he went crazy, searching the world and begging me back.
