Banana Dna Extraction

My mother was the best portrait artist in the police station. She had a strong sense of justice and brooked no evil. However, all I got was a sharp retort when I called her to save me. "You know it's your sister's coming-of-age celebration today, and you're cursing her? Kidnapped, are you? Fine, the kidnappers can kill you for all I care." She assumed it was a prank call. So, she refused to go to the police station and do her job. I wasn't saved in time and was tortured to death. When the DNA report came out, she came to the scene all wobbly. She drew a portrait of me with my bones as reference, her hand trembling all the way. "Jessica? It can't be her. This is a mistake!" She tried again and again. Yet, it didn't matter how many times she redid it as the portrait showed my face. My mother, who had hated me my whole life, teared up.

"Jadi kamu yang membuat Farel pergi meninggalkan aku? Kamu membuat data palsu seolah-olah Farel memiliki penyakit HIV agar dia membatalkan pernikahan? Terus besoknya kamu melamarku menggantikan posisi dia seolah menjadi pahlawan agar keluargaku tidak menanggung malu? Begitu?" Shira bertepuk tangan di hadapan Jonathan. "Maksud kamu data palsu apa? Dan jangan berbicara tinggi seperti itu padaku, aku ini suamimu!" "Yang seharusnya menjadi suamiku itu Farel, bukan kamu! Aku benar-benar menyesal telah menikah denganmu! Kamu bersikap seolah-olah aku ratu satu-satunya di hatimu padahal ada ratu lain yang kamu sembunyikan, termasuk keluargamu sendiri ikut merasahasiakannya, benar-benar gila!" Shira berkelakar sampai kalap. "Ratu apa? Aku tidak mengerti dengan perkataanmu, Shira!" "Come on ... tolong berhenti menjadi aktor hebat di depanku! Kamu tahu Grecia yang katamu adalah klien penting? Dan anak kecil yang terus bergelayut manja meminta perhatian darimu? Sekarang aku tahu itu adalah istri dan anakmu!" Jonathan meremas rambutnya sendiri. "Oke, Fine! Aku jujur sekarang, Grecia memang istri pertamaku. Aku terpaksa menikahinya karena perjodohan, tapi anak kecil itu bukan anakku, Shira. Tolong percaya." "Apa? Bukan anakmu? Sungguh malang nasib anak itu tidak diakui oleh ayah kandungnya. Padahal aku dengar sendiri anak itu memanggilmu dengan sebutan ayah. Apa sekarang kamu akan menuduhku tuli, Nathan?" "Bagaimana aku bisa mengakui anak kecil itu adalah anakku padahal aku tidak pernah menyentuh ibunya? Grecia memang mencintaiku, tapi aku tidak mencintainya. Satu-satunya wanita yang aku cintai hanya kamu, Shira. Tolong pahami itu!" "Kebohongan apa lagi yang kamu buat? Selama ini aku terlalu bodoh percaya dengan semua bualanmu padahal kamu sutradara licik di balik sekanerio kejam yang kamu buat!!" "Cukup, Shira. Aku tidak berbohong, aku sudah melakukan test DNA tanpa sepengetahuan Grecia. Hasilnya memang anak itu bukan darah dagingku!" Tak menggubris Jonathan yang terus berkelit, Shira memilih memasukkan semua bajunya ke dalam koper. "Tunggu surat gugatan cerai dariku, Nathan!"
