Baju Belly Dance

Orang tua terkayaku adalah dermawan terkenal di dalam negeri, tapi pengeluaranku yang diatas 10 Ribu harus mendapat pesetujuan dari mereka. Saat didiagonis terkena kanker stadium terakhir, aku meminta sama mereka 200 Ribu, tapi malah dimarahin selama 3 jam. “Masih muda sakit apaan? Kalau mau uang, carilah alasan yang masuk akal.” “Kamu tau nggak 200 Ribu bisa untuk anak pegunungan hidup berapa lama? Adikmu bahkan lebih pengertian dari kamu.” Aku membawa tubuhku yang sakit-sakitan, jalan kaki berapa km untuk pulang ke basemant. Di layar mall yang sedang siaran langsung, melihat ayah dan ibu demi adik yang di adopsi, menghabiskan banyak uang untuk sewa Disneyland. Aku terus menahan air mataku, 200 Ribu bahkan tidak cukup untuk sekali biaya kemoterapi, aku hanya mau membeli baju yang bagus untuk pergi dengan tenang.

“Apa yang bisa kamu lakukan untuk saya, Nes?” Suara berat dengan bahasa formal yang kaku itu menyentak kesadaran Nesa. Sudah pasti lelaki itu persis dengan apa yang digambarkan kepalanya. Dari namanya saja seolah sudah terbaca; Barata—Tua, tambun, jelek dan genit. Jemari Nesa meremas ujung baju kurungnya yang menjuntai hingga atas lutut dengan kuat. Dia dikirim ke rumah besar ini sebagai tebusan utang menggunung bapaknya pada sang tuan tanah. Dia harus kabur dari sini. Dia sudah berbalik dan hendak mengeluarkan jurus seribu langkah, tetapi suara bariton lelaki itu berhasil menghentikannya. “Jika kamu nekat keluar dari rumah ini, maka pintu rumah ini akan selamanya tertutup untuk kamu. Dan kamu tahu apa artinya?” Nesa menelan salivanya susah payah. Apakah ini akhir kegadisannya? Terperangkap ke dalam cangkang si tuan tanah tua?

The wealthy Hanson family makes it clear that whichever sister gives birth to the family's first grandson will inherit the billion-dollar fortune. In my previous life, my sister, under our parents' arrangement, married the strong and healthy third son, Jerome Hanson. I, on the other hand, was given to the gloomy eldest son, Lester Hanson, whose legs were paralyzed. Under my treatment, Lester regained full use of his legs. I became pregnant with the Hanson family's first grandson. Meanwhile, my sister was driven to madness by Jerome's abuse, becoming the laughingstock of every wealthy woman's dinner gossip. On the day I went into labor, my sister stabbed my belly with a knife. Then, she pulled me off a rooftop with her. Now, in this life, we start over. The moment Lester sends over a golden bridal bouquet, my sister snatches it without hesitation. "I want to marry Lester!" she declares.

The day before the wedding, my fiancé James's childhood sweetheart had a severe depressive episode. Threatening to take her own life, she demanded the destruction of the wedding gown my grandmother had painstakingly made for me before her passing. To calm her down, James locked me in a room and stayed by her side, helping her cut the gown into shreds. Amid the mess, he spoke indifferently. "Be reasonable. It's just a wedding gown. Do you want to see her die?" Later, James's hot uncle approached me, asking me to carry on the family lineage. I nodded in agreement. But James, with reddened eyes, confronted me. "Are you really going to have his child? Have you completely given up on me?" Covering my slightly rounded belly, I replied, "Be reasonable. It's just a child. He’s your uncle. Do you want to see him with no heir to carry on the family name?”

Pada hari ulang tahun cucuku, aku ditabrak mobil saat dalam perjalanan mengambil hadiahnya. Karena tidak terlalu parah, aku hanya pergi ke rumah sakit untuk membalut lukaku, lalu buru-buru pualng. Setibanya di rumah, ternyata acara ulang tahun telah berakhir. Sementara itu, aku harus membereskan kekacauan yang ada. Tidak ada yang peduli pada lenganku yang diperban. Yang ada di pikiran mereka hanya apakah baju sudah dicuci, apakah makanan sudah disiapkan? Karena tidak enak badan, aku tidak membuatkan sarapan. Putraku dan menantuku pun mengataiku malas. Aku pergi ke rumah sahabatku untuk menenangkan diri. Mereka malah bilang aku bersikap tidak masuk akal, padahal sudah tua. Kemudian, suamiku ingin bercerai denganku demi seorang pengasuh .... Cerai saja! Siapa juga yang mau mengerjakan pekerjaan rumah yang tak ada habisnya itu! Lagi pula, mereka tidak menyukaiku!

I double over in pain after assisting Adrian Randall with a late-night operation. He immediately carries me to a ward to check on me. However, before he can do that, he receives a call from a patient and hurries off. That night, I miscarry. When I come out of the operating theater, I see his childhood friend's social media update. She's shared a photo of her baby bump. "He hurried to come to my side just because I was lost. You have to treat Adrian well in the future, my darling!" I rub my belly, which throbs with a dull ache. I don't cry and demand an explanation from Adrian as I would have in the past. Instead, I like the post and apply for a position on the Borderless Medical Assistance Program. The day I leave, the high and mighty Dr. Randall looks at me with red-rimmed eyes. He asks, "How can you bear to leave me behind?"

I'm seven months along with my second pregnancy when a truck almost hits me. My husband threatens the doctor like a maniac. "I'll make all of you retire prematurely if anything goes wrong with my wife!" Before I enter the operating theater, I can't help thinking he's being too anxious. The truck merely brushed past me and made me fall. He doesn't need to be so panicked. However, when I open my eyes again, I find that my belly is flat. I crawl out of bed in a panic and head to the door, where I overhear Lucian Jacobe talking to the doctor. "Mrs. Jacobe wasn't in a major accident, sir. The child could've been saved. Why did you insist on aborting it? It was a baby boy, too." "Jenny will cry if she finds out about me having children with another woman. How can I bear to see her upset? It's not my first time doing something like this, anyway."

" I am pregnant," I said timidly caressing my flat belly hoping that he will be happy hearing the news. After all, he is going to be a father. He said chewing the food," Abort it." He said it so usually like it's the obvious thing to say at this situation. My eyes get watered immediately. I said crying," It's my first baby. I want to give birth to this baby." "I have told my decision already. You can never have my baby," He said finishing his food. " Why can't I have it? please, let me have it, I replied tightening my hold on my belly. He said banging his palm on the table," You will not listen like that." Saying that he dragged me towards the staircase and said creepily almost pushing me on the stairs," Just one push and the result will be same. Mistresses are for pleasure not for bearing children. So, don't forget your place." Warning - There are several mature content. If your are under 18 then don't read.
