Cat Hitam

Suara ketukan pintu yang tiada henti berbunyi membuat seorang wanita dengan daster dan rambut acak-acakan itu terpaksa membukanya, namun saat iris coklat itu menangkap sosok lelaki dengan stelan jas hitam, dan tentu saja mata itu semakin membulat kala melihat lekuk wajah yang membuat ia kembali mengingat kejadian malam itu. Mlathi kembali menutup pintu dengan cepat, sebisa mungkin agar lelaki brengsek itu tidak bisa masuk. Namun, wanita dengan kondisi yang sudah mengenaskan itu ternyata kalah cepat. Eric yang tentu memiliki tenaga yang lebih besar, hingga bisa menahan pintu itu agar tidak tertutup. "Hey, aku hanya ingin berbicara padamu mengenai malam itu," sahut Eric sembari terus berusaha menahan pintu berwarna coklat yang telah mulai lapuk. "Tidak ada yang perlu dibicarakan! Aku hanya ingin kau pergi dan jangan ganggu hidupku!" teriak Mlathi terisak. "Tidak bisa! Aku tidak bisa tenang jika aku belum melihat keadaanmu!" ucap Eric keras kepala dan tidak menyerah sebelum ia berbicara empat mata dengan wanita itu. "Kau-" Mlathi menghentikan ucapannya saat ia merasa mual pada perutnya. Tanpa berfikir panjang lagi ia segera pergi ke kamar mandi dan tidak lagi peduli dengan keberadaan Eric. Eric sedikit terkejut ketika melihat apa yang terjadi di depannya, takut jika apa yang ia pikirkan itu terjadi. Dengan perasaan tidak menentu, lelaki dengan rahang tegas itu segera melangkahkan kakinya lebar untuk melihat kondisi wanita yang mampu membuat ia beberapa hari ini tidak bisa tidur dengan tenang. "Apa kau hamil?"

Jane walked towards the forbidden building with a clenched fist. She looked scared at first but that didn't stop her curiosity about looking into the building she had been forbidden to reach. She looked back to see if any of the men were around to know of her sudden disappearance but nobody seemed to know since the alarm bells hadn't rung. She breathe out heavily and touched the door knob but before she could twist it open, her hand was yanked off it and she was pushed backward. She looked up only to meet the face of one person she had been trying to avoid. Allen stared coldly at the woman in front of him and stepped forward like a lion trying to stalk its prey. Jane looked terrified and gulped down with uneasiness. " What are you doing here? " Allen asked with his usual cold tone. " I was...uhm...just... " " Haven't I warned you not to step closer to this building huh? But it seems you are the stubborn pet. " Allen interrupted while continuing his walk towards her. " No...no, I was just being curious, that's all. " Jane replied as her back hits the wall. Allen trapped her in between. " Have you ever heard that curiosity kills the cat? " Allen smirked dangerously and Jane knew that she was in a long torture for the night. ______________ Don't miss out on this book. You will love it.

Sebuah pesan masuk ke dalam gawaiku, tak ada firasat apapun saat itu. Dengan santai pesan itu kubuka. Sebuah foto yang dikirim oleh nomor tak dikenal. Mataku membulat sempurna, tak percaya dengan apa yang kulihat, hingga berkali-kali aku memperhatikan bahkan sampai men-zoom foto itu sedetail mungkin, takut jika mata ini salah menyimpulkan.
