Kami Means

Sinopsis "Uma!" seruku lantang, memanggil nama mantan istriku yang nampak tergesa-gesa itu. Uma berhenti sejenak, dan menoleh kearahku. "Maaf, ada yang bisa saya bantu?" ucapnya formal. Seolah kami tidak pernah saling kenal. "Apa kabarmu?" tanyaku basa-basi. "Oh, baik, saya baik-baik saja," jawabnya canggung. Tatap matanya datar, tak ada keramahan di sana. "Anak-anak ---" Belum sempat kuselesaikan ucapanku, Uma sudah memotongnya. "Maaf saya buru-buru, Pak. Ada pasien yang mengalami pendarahan, yang harus segera mendapat tindakan." Uma segera berlalu dan meninggalkan aku begitu saja. Uma pasti malas menjawab pertanyaan basa basiku, karena setelah bercerai, kami benar-benar putus komunikasi. Tak ada lagi nafkah untuk anak-anak, atau perhatian sebagai ayah. Bahkan sekedar bertanya kabaar pun, tak pernah kulakukan. Aku sudah menelantarkan mereka. Melihat Uma yang sekarang membuatku dilanda penyesalan. Wanita yang dulu rela meninggalkan profesinya demi sepenuhnya mengabdi kepada-ku itu, kini bertransformasi menjadi wanita karier yang sukses. Tak ada lagi wanita lemah yang hanya bisa menangis saat kubentak, yang ada wanita berwibawa yang membuat lawan bicaranya bersikap hormat. Dulu kutinggalkan dia dalam keadaan hamil tua anak kedua kami. Bahkan saat melahirkan aku tak menemaninya. Apa kabar anakku sekarang? Seperti apa rupanya? Jujur aku penasaran, sejak dia lahir aku tak pernah menengoknya. Ingin rasanya aku menjumpai dan memeluk mereka bertiga, melampiaskan rindu yang tiba-tiba hadir. Akankah mereka bisa memaafkan dan menerimaku? Penyesalan itu kian menyiksa, mana kala pernikahan ketigaku tak bahagia. Apakah ini karma, karena telah menelantarkan Uma dan anak-anakku? Sejak bercerai dengan Uma, aku tak pernah menemukan wanita sebaik dia. Andai waktu bisa diulang, aku ingin tetap bersama.
