Her name was Cathedra. Leave her last name blank, if you will. Where normal people would read, "And they lived happily ever after," at the end of every fairy tale story, she could see something else. Three different things. Three words: Lies, lies, lies. A picture that moves. And a plea: Please tell them the truth. All her life she dedicated herself to becoming a writer and telling the world what was being shown in that moving picture. To expose the lies in the fairy tales everyone in the world has come to know. No one believed her. No one ever did. She was branded as a liar, a freak with too much imagination, and an orphan who only told tall tales to get attention. She was shunned away by society. Loveless. Friendless. As she wrote "The End" to her novels that contained all she knew about the truth inside the fairy tale novels she wrote, she also decided to end her pathetic life and be free from all the burdens she had to bear alone. Instead of dying, she found herself blessed with a second life inside the fairy tale novels she wrote, and living the life she wished she had with the characters she considered as the only friends she had in the world she left behind. Cathedra was happy until she realized that an ominous presence lurks within her stories. One that wanted to kill her to silence the only one who knew the truth.

Dengan gerakan tangan yang canggung, aku mencoba mengganti celana anak kecil yang basah itu. Ibu langsung membantingku ke dinding dengan keras.

Kenapa kamu tidak mati bersamanya saja?!” Saat itu juga, aku akhirnya mengerti mengapa dia tidak pernah mencintaiku. Aku menutup kepalaku yang berdarah dan untuk pertama kalinya tidak melawan saat dipukuli. Dan untuk pertama kalinya juga, aku merasa apa yang dia katakan itu benar. Keberadaanku adalah sebuah kesalahan. Aku seharusnya mati.

Usiaku 15 tahun saat Ayah dan Ibu akhirnya menemukan aku dari pegunungan terpencil. Melihat tubuhku yang penuh luka dan kekurangan gizi, mereka bersumpah akan menebus semua yang pernah hilang dariku. Ibu berkata aku adalah harta paling berharga milik Keluarga Atmaja. Dia mengganti namaku dari "Ilalang" menjadi "Ratna Atmaja". Ayah berkata, seberapa pun sibuknya dia nanti, setiap hari dia akan pulang untuk makan malam bersamaku, agar aku bisa merasakan kembali arti rumah. Aku pikir, akhirnya aku akan bahagia. Namun sepuluh tahun kemudian, aku malah meninggal di rumah kontrakan yang diberikan oleh adik perempuanku yang palsu itu. Saat itu, anakku berusia tiga tahun. Untuk bersenang-senang, para penculik memberiku tiga kali kesempatan meminta pertolongan. Selama ada seseorang yang mau datang melihatku, mereka akan melepaskan anakku. Kesempatan pertama, aku menelepon Ayah yang tak pernah berhenti mencariku selama 15 tahun. Saat itu dia sedang mengatur para pelayan untuk menyiapkan pesta ulang tahun adik palsuku. Setelah menerima teleponku, dia mengerutkan kening. "Ratna, kamu nggak tahu hari ini ulang tahun adikmu? Jangan bikin sial." Kesempatan kedua, aku menelepon Ibu yang dulu berjanji akan menganggapku sebagai harta paling berharga. Dia memandang penuh sayang ketika adik palsu itu merebut ponsel, lalu menatapku dengan jijik tanpa ditutupi sedikit pun. "Ratna, kalau mau bohong, bisa nggak lebih pintar sedikit? Kalau kamu terus bikin masalah, jangan harap bisa dapat uang hidup untuk bulan depan." Kesempatan ketiga, aku menelepon ayah dari anakku, suami yang dipilih dengan sangat teliti oleh orang tuaku. Dia bilang sedang rapat, setelah itu masih harus memilih hadiah untuk adikku, tidak ada waktu meladeniku bermain drama. Dia juga berkata, kalau aku mau bersikap patuh, minggu depan dia akan mengizinkanku membawa anak pulang untuk makan bersama keluarga. Aku mencium putraku yang gemetar ketakutan di dalam pelukanku, lalu memohon agar mereka memberiku satu kesempatan terakhir, membiarkanku menulis pesan perpisahan. Saat ponsel kembali ke tanganku, aku mengirim dua pesan ke grup keluarga. Satu foto tubuhku yang berlumuran darah. Satu kalimat pendek yang keluar dari lubuk hatiku. [ Aku benar-benar akan mati. Di kehidupan berikutnya, jangan jemput aku pulang lagi. ]
