"Annasta binti Lukman, pada hari ini kuceraikan kamu dan kuharamkan kakimu memasuki rumah ini!" tegas Jasen suamiku. Bagai tersambar petir kalimat sakral keluar dari bibi tipis yang menggoda milik Jasen--suamiku. Beberapa hari aku sembuhkan luka dan mencoba mengerti akan inginnya. Akhirnya aku terusir dari rumah yang sudah menaungiku selama delapan tahun ke belakang. Ironi sekali aku terusir dari rumahku sendiri hanya karena kata sudah usang. Pernikahan yang seharusnya indah kini harus terhempas kala netra ini melihat lelakiku membawa masuk wanita lain. 'Inikah penyebab kata usang itu terlontar?' batinku. Cinta yang dulu hanya untukku kini telah berbagi. Hidup bagai tersayat sembilu kala jagoannku ikut terluka atas perilaku ayahnya. Dengan berat hati, akupun berkemas semua barang hasil keringatku sendiri. Tanpa aku sadari ada putraku yang melihat keserakahan wanita tersebut ketika menginginkan kalung berlian hadiah dari omanya. Pria kecil itu tidak mampu menahan wanita rubah tersebut. Namun ada yang membuat hati ini sakit kala gadis kecilku datang dan melihat aku berkemas. "Bunda mau pergi ya, jangan lupa oleh-oleh buat Amel!" pintanya. Apa yang terjadi dengan rumah tanggaku? Bagaimana aku menatap dunia?

Aku dan kekasih masa lalu suamiku diculik orang secara bersamaan. Sebagai ahli negosiasi, suamiku langsung datang ke lokasi secepat mungkin untuk menolong kami. Namun, di saat penculik itu setuju untuk melepaskan satu sandera, suamiku setuju untuk membiarkanku dibawa pergi penculik itu demi menyelamatkan kekasih masa lalunya. Aku berlutut memohon padanya untuk menolongku terlebih dahulu. Namun, dia malah menunjukkan ekspresi datar di wajahnya. "Elowyn masih suci. Kalau sampai dinodai orang, dia nggak akan sanggup menerimanya. Kamu berbeda. Kamu sudah nikah sama aku. Kalaupun dinodai orang, aku nggak akan membencimu." Aku didorong ke kaki penculik itu dengan kejam. Mungkin dia tidak tahu, aku sudah hamil tiga bulan dan dia akan menjadi seorang ayah.

"Rena, aku akan selalu mencintaimu!" desah Jeremy tak tertahankan. Tepat saat dia hampir mencapai klimaks, ponselnya tiba-tiba bergetar. Dalam kondisi seperti itu, tentu saja dia mengabaikannya. Namun tak lama kemudian, layar ponselnya menyala. Begitu Jeremy melihat nama yang tertera, tubuhnya langsung menegang. Rena mendengarnya mengangkat telepon dan berkata, "Halo?" Di tengah sunyinya malam, suara dari ponsel terdengar sangat jelas, "Jeremy, kamu tahu nggak ... Nadia ...." Jeremy buru-buru memotongnya dengan suara rendah dalam bahasa asing, "Kecilkan suaramu, ini bukan waktu yang tepat." Lawan bicaranya langsung berganti bahasa, tetapi suaranya tetap terdengar keras, "Hasil pemeriksaan rumah sakit sudah keluar. Nadia kena kanker stadium akhir. Hidupnya tinggal sebulan! Dia ingin jadi istrimu. Kamu bisa nggak kabulkan keinginan terakhirnya sebelum dia pergi?" Ekspresi Jeremy langsung berubah drastis. "Apa?! Tunggu aku!" Setelah menutup telepon, dia menoleh ke Rena dan berkata dengan lembut, "Rena, aku ada urusan penting, harus keluar sebentar. Kamu istirahat saja dulu, nanti aku segera balik." Tanpa menunggu jawaban darinya, Jeremy buru-buru pergi untuk bersih-bersih dan mengganti pakaian. Dia meninggalkan rumah tanpa menoleh sedikit pun. Sesaat kemudian, layar ponsel Rena menyala. Ternyata pesan dari Nadia. [ Rena, kamu kalah. Dari dulu aku sudah bilang, Jeremy itu milikku. ] Tepat di bawahnya, ada pesan lain yang dikirim tiga hari lalu. [ Kalau aku kena kanker, menurutmu Jeremy bakal ninggalin kamu buat datang ke aku nggak? Aku yakin dia pasti datang. ] Tatapan Rena perlahan terangkat dari layar ponsel ke arah pintu kamar yang masih terbuka. Jeremy tidak tahu, dia sudah lama belajar bahasa asing itu. Seluruh percakapan tadi, didengar dan dipahaminya dengan jelas. Sejenak kemudian, wajah Rena menyunggingkan senyuman yang begitu pahit dan menyedihkan. "Iya ... aku memang kalah ...."
