Joy Hotel

Tepat di hari peringatan 30 tahun pernikahan kami, suamiku masih dalam perjalanan dinas. Makanan di meja sudah dingin. Di tengah aku masih menunggu kedatangannya, aku menerima notifikasi suamiku reservasi hotel. "Aku masih dinas, bukankah wajar aku menginap di hotel?" Suamiku masih merahasiakan, lalu aku meminta bukti video darinya, tetapi dia tidak membalas pesanku lama. Putraku menyeletuk, "Bu, jangan bertingkah berlebihan. Bukankah Ayah bekerja keras juga untuk kita berdua?" Semua orang menganggap aku adalah ibu rumah tangga yang bahagia karena memiliki suami yang perhatian dan putraku memiliki karier yang sukses. Namun, ketika aku menerima notifikasi reservasi hotel, seketika aku merasa muak. Mereka mengira aku tidak tahu apa-apa. Aku ingin bercerai. Semua pengorbananku selama 30 tahun ini ternyata tidak dihargai. "Kamu bukan anak kecil lagi, berhentilah membuat keributan!" Suamiku memohon agar kami tidak bercerai. Dalam perjalanan pulang di tengah malam, suamiku mengalami kecelakaan mobil. Putraku marah dan mengatakan bahwa aku tidak becus menjadi istri maupun ibu. Melihat anakku emosi dan suamiku yang pura-pura terbaring lemah di ranjang, aku mencibir dalam hati. Kalau kamu suka pura-pura sakit, aku akan membuatmu lumpuh selamanya!'

Aku pernah mencoba menggoda tunanganku yang tanpa tergoda oleh nafsu duniawi sebanyak 999 kali. Bahkan saat aku berdiri telanjang bulat di hadapannya, dia hanya akan bertanya apakah aku kedinginan. Awalnya, aku mengira dia hanya taat pada aturan dan baru akan menyentuhku setelah menikah. Namun, pada hari jadi kami, aku justru menemukan bahwa diam-diam dia telah memesan kamar di hotel terkenal di kota ini. Malam itu, aku datang ke ruang VIP dengan penuh harapan. Namun, aku justru menyaksikan dia dan teman masa kecilnya berciuman mesra di tengah sorakan orang banyak, seolah dunia hanya milik mereka. Setelah berdiri semalaman di depan pintu kamar, akhirnya aku menyadari satu hal, dia memang tidak mencintaiku. Setelah keluar dari hotel, aku menelepon rumah. "Ayah, aku nggak jadi menikah dengan Nathan. Aku ingin menikah dengan Darius!" Teh di mulut ayah langsung menyembur keluar.

I was checking out our own hotel. Got hungry, so I snagged a tiny bread roll before my order came out. Then the lobby manager strutted over and slapped me with a fine. "Hi, miss. No outside food. You stayed eight minutes and thirty seconds, spent $150, and your fine's $128,000." I stared at the ticket like, What the hell? Snapped a pic and sent it to the board, tagging my lovely brother: [Getting fined at our own hotel—so THIS is how you're boosting revenue?]

Till death do us part Betrayal, the acid that destroys all without hope of repair The bond once sealed with love and trust now hangs by a thread of pleas and regret Trust, once lost is never seen in the same face Again Hope is all that lasts in pain and most sadly in vain Only time can tell if there ever will be redemption and restoration The wedding bells that rang five years prior, seem to have worn off its charm and joy in the lives of Ethan and Patricia. Mistakes and disregard have strained whatever it was that bound them together.
