Ini adalah malam tahun baru ketiga sejak suamiku bangkrut. Rumah kami begitu miskin sampai tidak tersisa beras sedikit pun. Dia bilang, dia ingin makan daging. Dengan suhu minus 20 derajat dan badai salju lebat, aku menahan dingin sambil mengendarai motor listrik tua untuk mengambil pesanan kerja lepas. Jalanan terlalu licin. Aku dan motorku terperosok ke selokan. Beberapa tulang rusukku patah dan di tengah salju yang menutupi langit, tubuhku perlahan kehilangan suhu. Menjelang ajal, tanganku masih mencengkeram erat kotak lauk daging goreng yang kubeli khusus untuk tambahan makanannya. Setelah jiwaku meninggalkan tubuh, aku melayang kembali ke rumah kontrakan kami yang selalu berangin, tetapi tak ada seorang pun di sana. Aku keluar dan melihat suamiku berdiri rapi dengan setelan jas di sebuah vila mewah yang hanya terpisah satu jalan. Di tangannya sedang menggoyangkan segelas anggur merah dengan santai. Sekelompok pengawal bersikap sangat hormat kepadanya. Aku melayang mendekat dan mendengar dia bergumam, "Aku benar-benar nggak kepengin lagi jalani hidup sengsara begini. Kalau wanita bodoh itu tahu aku pewaris orang terkaya, mungkin dia akan senang setengah mati." "Tapi, ke mana dia pergi? Kenapa belum pulang untuk masak? Benar-benar makin malas saja." Namun dia tidak tahu, aku tidak bisa pulang lagi.
