Hidup Terasa Mati

Teka-teki yang harus dipecahkan, tiap huruf penentu kalau kau akan hidup atau mati. Sejak kejadian kala itu, mengajarkan aku berbagai aspek kehidupan. Salah satunya, mencintai dunia gaib hingga masuk ke dalamnya.

“Mbak ... aku hamil anak suamimu.” Tes pack di tangannya seperti belati yang menusuk tepat ke jantungku ... garis dua yang kuimpikan selama lima tahun pernikahan. Dadaku sesak, air mata mengaburkan pandanganku. Aku menatap Mas Alvin yang kini masih menunduk, berharap ia akan membantahnya. “Mas … aku mau cerai,” ucapku terbata, suaraku bergetar. Perlahan, ia mengangkat wajahnya. Senyum tipis terukir di bibirnya—bukan senyum dari orang yang pernah kucintai. “Aku nggak bakal ngelepasin kamu, kecuali ... kamu mati.”

Nadia, mahasiswi cerdas dan ceria di Fakultas Ekonomi, tak pernah menyangka bahwa cinta bisa menjadi senjata yang paling mematikan. Awalnya, Reza datang sebagai pelindung, tempat bersandar, dan cinta pertama yang mengubah dunianya. Tapi di balik perhatian manisnya, tersembunyi niat manipulatif yang perlahan menggerogoti harga diri Nadia hingga tubuh, nama baik, dan kepercayaannya direnggut habis. Ketika Nadia mulai bangkit dan bersuara, Reza tak tinggal diam. Dari sabotase penyebaran foto pribadi, ia menyerang habis-habisan demi satu hal: ingin membuat Nadia Menyerah dan kalah. Namun dari reruntuhan itu, Nadia perlahan berdiri. Dengan luka yang belum sembuh dan trauma yang masih basah, ia memutuskan melawan. Didampingi oleh Dimas sosok baru yang tidak mencoba menyelamatkannya, tapi berdiri di sisinya. Nadia berjuang mengungkap kebenaran. Tapi semakin dalam ia menghadapi kesadisan Reza yang ingin mencelakainya. Dunia yang selama ini ia percaya pun mulai retak. Nadia Hampir mengakhiri hidupnya. Ini bukan kisah tentang cinta yang menyembuhkan. Ini adalah kisah tentang seorang perempuan yang dihancurkan oleh orang yang dicintainya dan memutuskan untuk tidak hanya bertahan, dan bangkit dari keterpurukannya.

"Nona Nelsi, hasil tes menunjukkan kalau Anda menderita kanker pankreas stadium akhir, kondisimu kurang optimis. Setelah menghentikan pengobatan, waktu Anda hanya sisa kurang dari sebulan. Apa Anda yakin tidak ingin menjalani pengobatan? Apa suami Anda setuju?" "Aku yakin... dia bakal setuju." Setelah menutup telepon dokter, aku merasa getir ketika melihat sekeliling rumah yang kosong. Kukira hanya sakit maag biasa, tak kusangka itu kanker. Aku menghela napas dan melihat foto bersama Erik di atas meja. Di dalam foto itu, Erik yang berusia 18 tahun menatapku dengan saksama. Setelah bertahun-tahun, aku masih ingat adegan pada hari itu ketika butiran salju jatuh di rambutku, Erik tersenyum bertanya padaku, "Apa ini yang disebut menua bersama?"

Suamiku meninggal. Di hari peringatan pernikahan kami, dia nekat keluar di tengah hujan lebat untuk membeli kue buatku, tetapi malah tertabrak truk besar. Jasadnya hancur berkeping-keping, bahkan tidak bisa dikenali lagi. Adik ipar menyalahkanku, katanya aku penyebab kematian kakaknya dan tidak layak mewarisi harta suamiku. Mertuaku menangis dan menyebutku pembawa sial, lalu mengusirku dari rumah. Aku tersiksa batin setiap hari, selalu membayangkan bahwa kalau saja aku menghentikannya hari itu, mungkin dia tidak akan meninggal. Akhirnya aku jatuh sakit dan divonis kanker. Di ambang hidup dan mati, mertuaku datang menemuiku. “Dasar bodoh, percaya saja dengan apa yang dibilang orang!” Ujarnya sambil melempar foto keluarga kecil berisi tiga orang. Setelah melihat foto itu, aku langsung sesak napas dan mati dengan penuh amarah. Ternyata, suamiku tidak hanya masih hidup, tetapi juga sudah punya anak dengan pujaan hatinya. Begitu membuka mata lagi, aku kembali ke hari ketika pertama kali menerima kabar kematiannya.
