Code Adam

Pada pernikahan tahun keenam, suamiku sudah tidak menyentuhku selama tiga bulan. Dia mengatakan bahwa dirinya sangat kelelahan karena sibuk bekerja. Aku yang merasa kami sudah saling mencintai selama bertahun-tahun pun memercayainya tanpa ragu. Namun, pada hari ulang tahunku, aku malah mendengar teman suamiku bertanya padanya dalam bahasa asing, “Kamu sudah putus hubungan sama selingkuhanmu itu? Sebelumnya, kamu pergi cari dia setiap hari. Entah tubuhmu tahan atau nggak. Apa istrimu nggak keberatan kamu begini?” Suamiku mengembuskan asap rokok, lalu menjawab dengan acuh tak acuh, “Aku sudah nggak sentuh dia selama beberapa bulan. Sallie punya teknik yang bagus. Aku masih belum bosan. Sayangnya, dia hamil. Istriku nggak suka anak. Jadi, aku akan kasih Sallie sejumlah uang dan suruh dia pergi lahirkan anaknya di luar negeri beberapa saat lagi.” Aku mengepalkan tanganku dan diam-diam meneteskan air mata. Suamiku pun bertanya aku kenapa dengan gugup. Namun, aku hanya menggeleng. “Kue buatanmu enak banget. Aku sangat terharu.” Kue itu sangat manis. Namun, aku yang mengerti bahasa asing yang mereka gunakan merasa sangat getir.
