After I landed a five-million-dollar contract and saved the company from financial collapse, my CEO wife wrapped me in an excited embrace and said she wanted to have a baby with me. She took out her phone and showed me a virtual baby on an app she had just signed up for. "Look, honey," she said. "Isn't it adorable? You can even change how it looks. Do you like it? Once things settle down at the company, we can have a real one." That night, I came across a post by her male secretary on social media. It was a photo of a positive pregnancy test, with my wife's figure visible in the background. I did not comment. I just liked the post. When my wife noticed, she panicked and called me immediately. "Honey, it's not what you think. Please listen to me! I wanted to surprise you. The baby is yours! "Can you clear things up on social media for everyone? I promise I'll give you a child of your own soon." She insisted the baby was mine, yet she seemed to have forgotten that we had not shared a bed in six months. "End the pregnancy," I said. "We're finished."

Setelah aku dipecat dari perusahaan, aku kembali ke kampung halaman dan setiap hari ikut Nenek main mahjong. Namun, seluruh keluargaku justru seperti orang gila, mencariku ke mana-mana. Hanya karena adik perempuanku, si genius desainer perhiasan di keluarga, tidak bisa menggambar desain lagi setelah aku pergi. Di kehidupan sebelumnya, pada kompetisi desain perhiasan tingkat nasional, adik perempuanku selalu merancang desain yang sama persis denganku. Semua orang mengira akulah yang menjiplak, bahkan keluargaku sendiri pun membelanya dan memberi kesaksian untuknya. Perusahaan juga menetapkan bahwa aku berkelakuan tak bermoral dan menjiplak karya, hingga merusak reputasi perusahaan. Di tempat itu juga aku menerima surat pemecatan dan diwajibkan membayar ganti rugi dalam jumlah besar. Keluargaku pun menganggapku sebagai beban dan mengusirku dari rumah. Di bawah tekanan keluarga dan opini publik, aku menderita depresi. Saat berjalan di jalan raya, aku ditabrak sampai mati oleh penggemar fanatik adik perempuanku. Sebelum kesadaranku lenyap, aku tetap tidak mengerti mengapa adik perempuanku selalu bisa menggambar desain yang sama denganku. Saat membuka mata lagi, aku kembali ke sehari sebelum kompetisi desain perhiasan tingkat nasional.

Pag-ibig, isang salita ngunit marami ang ibig sabihin. Pag- ibig, tila ba simple lamang, ngunit ang totoo ay kayang gawin lahat sa ngalan ng pagsinta. Mayroon bang mas sasakit pa sa pusong pinagtaksilan matapos mong gawin at ibigay ang lahat maging ng iyong buhay sa taong tangi mong minahal? Matapos basagin at durugin ng pinung- pino ang iyong puso ng taong tangi mong pinagkatiwalaan nito, may kakayahan ka pa bang magpatawad at umibig muli? Matapos mong maghintay ng walang hanggan sa pangakong labis mong pinanghawakan ngunit sa huli’y tanging panlilinlang lamang ang iyong napala, may lakas ka pa bang muling magtiwala sa mundo? Papaano mo ipagpapatuloy ang buhay kung hindi mo na kilala maging ang sarili mo mismo?

Aku adalah putri kandung Keluarga Setiawan, juga memiliki “sistem pengamat drama”. Aku memang terlihat penurut dari luar, tetapi sebenarnya penuh perlawanan dalam hati. Hanya saja, aku tidak tahu bahwa isi hatiku bisa dibaca. Kakak-kakakku berkata, “Meski kamu itu adik kandung kami, kami hanya akui Cheryl sebagai adik. Sebaiknya kamu tahu diri.” Aku bergumam dalam hati, ‘Kayaknya aku sudah singgung Raja Neraka di kehidupan sebelumnya, makanya aku dilahirkan di Keluarga Setiawan di kehidupan ini.’ Langkah kakak-kakakku tiba-tiba terhenti. “Cheryl sangat penurut, juga sayang sama semua orang di keluarga ini. Kamu jangan coba-coba cari perhatian atau buat onar.” Aku mencibir dalam hati, ‘Dia sangat penurut sampai sebabkan orang di seluruh keluarga ini tewas. Cintanya pada kalian juga begitu besar sampai-sampai dia khianati kalian.’ Kali ini, ekspresi para kakak terlihat sangat aneh.
