Ice Planet Barbarians

After the school cafeteria for elementary school kids shut down, I decided to offer meals for all the kids in our building at my home. At the end of the month, when it came time to settle the bill, one of the neighbors wasn’t happy. “The new caterer downstairs only charges $2.50 per meal, but you’re charging us $5! That’s an extra $75 per kid per month. Do you have no shame?” she accused me. I calmly explained that I only used free-range meat and organic vegetables in my meals. But no matter how patiently I tried to reason with them, the parents insisted I refund the difference and demanded I charge no more than $2.50 per meal moving forward. When I lowered my costs to meet their demands, they started accusing me of mistreating their children. They went online to expose me and even reported me to the authorities. The online attacks were relentless. I was fined, and my husband lost his job because of the controversy surrounding me. The stress pushed me into depression, and in the end, I jumped off a building to end it all. When I opened my eyes again, I saw those same parents being swayed by others in the neighborhood to send their kids to the new daycare service that only charged $2.50 a day. What they didn’t know was that the lunch caterer next door did serve meat every day—but it was frozen, diseased pork that had been sitting in storage for two years.

Tiga tahun sudah terlewati, dan selama itulah New memendam perasaan kecewa, bingung, marah, juga rindu. Thana kakak kandungnya yang merangkap sebagai sahabat juga orang tua berubah menjadi pemuda berhati dingin terhadapnya. Menatap sinis dirinya juga memberinya kata-kata kasar. Tidak ada lagi tatapan lembut, senyuman hangat, juga tawa ceria. Hanya ada kebekuan dan decihan tajam saat keduanya di tempat yang sama. Umur New dan Thana hanya selisih dua tahun, menyebabkan mereka sangat dekat bahkan bergabung dalam grup yang sama. Namun kedekatan mereka terputus setelah New siuman, New sempat koma selama tiga bulan. Walau mereka tidak sedekat dulu lagi, mereka masih menetap digrup. Grup mereka terdiri dari enam orang, Lion yang seorang Pianis juga ketua, Krist sebagai Drummer, Thana sebagai pemain Bass, Jump sebagai Gitaris, Phan sebagai vokal pertama, dan New sendiri sebagai Vokalis utama. Grup mereka bernama B2F2 atau BBFF kepanjangan dari Best Brotherhood, Friendship Forever. Nama grup itu tercetus oleh member termuda mereka, yaitu New. Karena mereka semua masa bodoh dengan nama grup, akhirnya mereka semua setuju menggunakan nama grup yang diusulkan oleh New. Grup mereka sudah berdiri sejak Thana memasuki tahun pertama sekolah menengah akhir. Dan karena sekolah New berdekatan dengan sekolah Thana, menyebabkan New selalu berkumpul bersama teman kakaknya. Terlebih minat juga bakat yang sama di bidang musik, menyebabkan mudahnya beradaptasi dan akrab. Hingga ditahun pertama Thana kuliah, mereka membeli sebuah rumah yang tidak jauh dari kampus dan tinggal bersama-sama.

“You are not going to disrespect me! She is a commoner, and I’d rather die than let you be with her!” Isaac’s father was very loud and his tone was threatening. “Then you better drop dead right now, because I’m sick of being caged by the standards and rules that this family has set for me! I’m sick of being a robot built for the sole purpose of being the heir to the Ford fortune!” Isaac spat the words in his father’s face.

It was only in the eighth year of our marriage that I discovered my husband had a mistress in the neighborhood. Her place had the same layout as mine, except her furnishings were more luxurious. He was a good husband for her, meticulously caring for his young and beautiful wife. They were even expecting a baby. She sent me a message, eager to get rid of and replace me. She had forgotten I was the one who had been through hard times with him, Clyde Sherwood, and fought alongside him for more than a decade. Her pregnancy was what they both wanted, but there was no way I would allow things to work out the way they anticipated. Taking advantage of his conflicted feelings, I made sure he didn't have any more assets. Everything came with a price. Not only would I make him fall from grace, but I would also make him rot in ruins.
