Flowers With A Twist

Suamiku bertanya apakah bra tanpa kawat itu lebih nyaman? Aku hanya tertawa dan mengira akhirnya dia peka. Keesokan harinya, dengan wajah panik, asisten mengambil paket yang baru saja kuambil, sambil berkata kalau alamatnya salah. Malamnya, aku melihat postingan Susan Kumala di media sosial, dengan keterangan, "Hadiah dari pacarku, bagus nggak?" Foto itu adalah selfie di kamar hotel dengan suasana yang cukup romantis dan ada kotak lingerie cantik berhias pita di sebelahnya. Ternyata, pria itu bukan tidak mengerti romantis, melainkan apakah dia bersedia melakukannya untukmu. Aku menekan tombol suka di postingannya, lalu mengirim tangkapan layar itu ke suamiku. "Kalau beli satu set bisa diskon 20%, kamu memang nggak pandai menghemat."

"Nona Gina, apa Anda yakin ingin menghapus semua informasi tentang identitas Anda? Apabila semua informasi tentang identitas Anda dihapus, nggak ada seorang pun yang bisa menemukan Anda."

Nona Gina, perkiraan prosedur akan selesai dalam waktu dua minggu, mohon bersabar menunggu."

Dua tahun lalu, ibuku memaksa aku untuk berpisah dengan pacarku dan menggantikan adikku menikah dengan tunangannya yang buta. Dua tahun kemudian, suamiku yang buta tiba-tiba mendapatkan kembali penglihatannya, dan ibuku meminta aku untuk mengembalikannya ke adikku. Ayahku menatapku dengan marah. "Indah, jangan lupa bahwa Rendra sebenarnya adalah tunangan Mella, apa kamu pantas menjadi Nyonya Saputra?" Siapa juga yang mau menjadi Nyonya Saputra. Toh, aku juga akan mati. Silakan saja. Aku akan menyaksikan mereka satu per satu menerima pembalasan setelah aku mati.

Ada yang menyatakan perasaannya kepadaku di laman web pengakuan kampus, tetapi pacar teman sekamarku malah mengomentari unggahan itu dengan pernyataan bahwa aku sudah pernah tidur dengan semua siswa di kampus.

Dia bahkan bilang akan meminta pacarnya untuk mengunggah permintaan maaf di laman web kampus. Belum sempat permintaan maaf itu kuterima, sebuah video tidak senonoh keburu tersebar di kalangan siswa. Semua orang mengatakan bahwa akulah sosok perempuan dalam video itu. Aku pun diinterogasi pihak kampus dan akhirnya diminta untuk cuti. Saat aku pulang, orangtuaku menolak mengakuiku sebagai putri mereka. Kehilangan segalanya membuatku begitu putus asa dan depresi hingga akhirnya aku memutuskan untuk bunuh diri.

My mate-to-be, Ethan, said he had some urgent work come up right before our planned full moon trip. He bailed. I was missing him like crazy, so I immediately drove for over ten hours to his city. I hadn’t told Ethan I was coming. There I was, flowers in hand, standing outside his mansion, ready to give my destined mate a sweet surprise.

I fought back the burn in my nose, my eyes already red, and pushed the door open. And what did I see? Them, sharing a glass of red wine, cuddled up, practically on top of each other. When Ethan finally noticed me, he jerked his arm away from Amber, walked stiffly over, his voice laced with panic. "Scarlett, why didn't you tell me you were coming?"
