Sejak awal, pernikahanku dan Ardi Wijaya memang dirahasiakan. Tiga tahun kami menikah secara diam-diam, aku bagaikan istri gelapnya saja. Di mata orang lain, dia itu dokter bedah terbaik di Mogowa. Dia dihormati dan disanjung banyak orang. Dia cuek dan sombong, juga tidak memedulikan orang lain. Sedangkan aku ini hanyalah seorang dokter magang anestesi biasa yang tidak berarti apa-apa baginya. Setiap malam, aku berdiri di balkon yang dingin sendirian menunggu dia pulang. Aku mengira kalau aku berusaha lebih keras dan belajar bersikap lebih lembut, suatu saat nanti dia akan tergugah melihatnya. Akan tetapi, kenyataan yang aku terima, bagaikan sebuah tamparan keras bagiku. Aku bertanya padanya dengan suara memeras sambil memohon dan menarik ujung bajunya, "Bisakah kamu tidak pergi mencari wanita itu lagi?" Dia tertawa ringan dan mencerca, "Ini hanya kawin kontrak saja. Apa kamu ketagihan berakting jadi Nyonya Wijaya?" ... Hari demi hari, aku menyaksikan bagaimana dia memperlakukan wanita itu dengan lembut. Aku tidak ingin bertengkar dengannya, juga tidak ingin mempermasalahkan apa pun yang dia lakukan. Aku meninggalkan selembar surat perceraian dan pergi. Hari itu, Kota Nowa diguyur hujan lebat. Di tengah hujan, Ardi sang dokter bedah yang tersohor itu berlutut. Dengan mata merah sembap, dia memohon untuk rujuk, "Istriku, kita tak usah bercerai, ya?" Bagiku, tetesan air matanya sudah tidak berarti sama sekali. Aku tersenyum tipis, "Jangan-jangan Dokter Ardi juga berwatak dramatis? Maaf, aku tak ada waktu buat menemanimu bermain sandiwara. Masa berlaku kontrak kita sudah habis. Kalau ingin mengejarku, silakan antre dulu."
