Kata Anniversary

The day before my fifth wedding anniversary to my husband, the jewelry store manager called me. He reported that the expensive jewelry I had commissioned for my husband had been accidentally damaged by the staff. However, the shop was willing to pay a penalty for breach of contract. He hung up before I could lose my temper. I immediately received a message from my husband and $6 million in compensation. [So you're the shameless homewrecker. How dare you keep my husband's contact information! I'm warning you: I've given you the money, now get lost! Otherwise, I'll have to teach you a lesson!] The woman smugly sent me an intimate photo to follow up on her threats. Looking at the familiar side profile, I immediately called my biological parents, who were high-ranking businesspeople. "Dad, Mom, put the Shelby family's investment on hold for now. I'm getting a big gift ready for them!"

People used to say Pierce Voss, my husband, also the boss of the largest mafia in Kingsburg, and I were the kind of couple others envied. He once lit fireworks across the entire coastline just to celebrate my birthday. He bought me a private island because I mentioned loving the ocean. He made the entire mafia respect me as the most esteemed woman in the world. He shut every woman out of his world so I would never feel insecure. I thought our love was unbreakable. After ninety-nine rounds of IVF, I finally got a positive result. I was so happy I couldn’t sleep the whole night, planning to surprise him at our tenth-anniversary party the next day. But instead, I cut into our wedding cake and found Lena Young’s pregnancy report hidden inside. She fell to her knees in front of everyone, sobbing. “Serena… I have cancer. I don’t have long. Please… let me stay with Pierce for whatever time I have left. Give my child a name.” The room erupted, with gasps, whispers, cruel amusement. And in an instant, the woman Pierce Voss had supposedly adored became the laughingstock of the entire Kingsburg city. The love I had been so proud of shattered like cheap glass. Clutching my own pregnancy report, I held back my tears and prepared to walk away with my baby, far from his world, far from the lies. But before I could escape, someone framed me for harming her. I was thrown into detention for three days. And in those three days, I lost my child. Pierce Voss lost me, and every last piece of love I ever had for him. No matter how desperately he begs later, there is no returning to who we used to be.

Aku sedang hamil empat bulan, tetapi suamiku yang seorang dokter membatalkan janjinya sebanyak 16 kali untuk kami mengurus surat nikah. Pertama kali, perawat kecilnya pingsan karena melihat darah saat operasi. Aku menunggunya seharian di depan Kantor Catatan Sipil. Kedua kalinya, begitu perawat kecilnya menelepon, dia meninggalkanku di jembatan layang, hanya untuk membelikan pembalut untuk si perawat kecil. Setelah itu, setiap kali kami berencana untuk mengurus surat nikah, perawat kecilnya selalu saja membuat masalah. Terakhir kali, aku mendengar suamiku sedang sakit. Aku bergegas datang ke rumah sakit di tengah hujan deras, tetapi ternyata yang sakit adalah si perawat kecilnya. Pria itu menjaga perawat kecilnya di samping tempat tidur tanpa beranjak sedikit pun, berbohong padaku tanpa perubahan ekspresi lewat telepon. Pada saat itu, aku mulai membenci pria itu. Aku dengan tegas menggugurkan kandungan, lalu pergi. Namun, pria itu malah mengejarku hingga ke luar negeri, meminta maaf padaku.

"Pregnant patient, corpus luteum rupture, heavy bleeding! We need a consent form signed—now!" I stood there holding the clipboard, waiting, when a voice I knew way too well cut through the chaos. "I'm here!" Jimmy. My husband. The same guy who vanished on our anniversary—now signing off on emergency surgery for another woman. He didn't even blink before writing "husband" on the form. Still had our wedding ring on, too. He didn't recognize me behind the mask. Just grabbed my hand and begged. "Please save her. It's my fault. She's pregnant. I messed up. I love her. I can't lose her." His grip tightened. My wedding ring slipped off and hit the floor. I didn't say a word. Just turned and walked into the OR. A doctor beside me, totally clueless, beamed and said, "Dr. Meyer, your test results came back—twins! Your husband's gonna be so happy. Congrats!" I smiled, barely. "Schedule the termination after surgery."

"Bu Juvena, apa Anda yakin ingin menayangkan foto dan video Pak Silvano dengan Nona Marisha pada hari pernikahan?" Juvena terhenti sejenak, lalu dengan tegas menjawab, "Aku yakin." "Oh ya, sekalian bantu aku urus visa. Pada hari pernikahan aku harus ke luar negeri, jangan sampai ada yang tahu." Setelah menutup telepon, Juvena berdiri lama di dalam kamar. Pagi ini saja, Juvena menemukan rumah kecil tempat tinggal tunangannya bersama cinta pertamanya. "Marisha, kalau kamu sungguh tak rela aku menikah, sebulan lagi datanglah. Rebutlah aku, dan jadilah pengantinku!" Begitu sampai di pintu, Juvena mendengar Silvano menyerukan kalimat itu kepada Marisha. Detik berikutnya, keduanya tak bisa menahan diri dan saling berciuman. Melihat adegan itu, jantung Juvena hampir meledak. Dia menahan diri untuk tidak menerobos masuk, lalu berbalik dan pergi. Pada saat itu juga, dirinya telah diam-diam membuat keputusan yang akan mengejutkan semua orang. Di hari pernikahan sebulan kemudian, sebelum rencana mereka untuk merebut pengantin terjadi ... Juvena akan kabur dari pernikahan!

Cinta lama Yohan baru saja bercerai. Malam itu, Yohan melemparkan surat cerai yang ke-99 padaku. "Chika lagi patah hati, dia belum bisa bangkit dari kesedihan. Aku harus menjaganya." Anak laki-lakiku yang berumur tujuh tahun juga ikut menasihati. "Kamu cepat pergi saja, biar Tante Chika pindah ke sini. Rumah kita nggak butuh pembantu seperti kamu." Ayah dan anak itu yakin aku akan marah-marah, menangis, dan memohon supaya mereka tidak mengusirku. Tapi kenyataannya, aku hanya mengangguk pelan. Lalu diam-diam menandatangani surat cerai itu. Sepuluh tahun kemudian, anakku diwawancarai sebagai peraih nilai tertinggi ujian nasional. Wartawan bertanya padanya, "Nak, apa yang membuatmu tetap semangat belajar selama ini?" Dia terdiam sejenak, matanya memerah di depan semua orang. "Karena aku ingin bilang ke Ibu, aku sudah dewasa sekarang. Bisa nggak Ibu pulang? Jangan tinggalkan aku lagi."

Aku meninggal di hari aku memenangkan Penghargaan Doktor Medis Global. Tiga jam setelah kematianku, orang tua, kakak laki-laki, dan tunanganku baru saja pulang dari pesta ulang tahun ke-16 adik perempuanku. Ketika adikku mengunggah foto keluarga kami saat merayakan ulang tahunnya di media sosial, aku sedang terbaring di ruang bawah tanah yang tertutup rapat dan berlumuran darah. Aku mencoba menggunakan lidahku untuk menggeser layar ponsel dan meminta bantuan. Di antara kontak darurat, hanya tunanganku yang menjawab panggilanku. Artinya orang tua dan kakakku telah memblokir nomorku. Begitu telepon diangkat, tunanganku hanya mengucapkan satu kalimat, “Karin, pesta ulang tahun Lina yang ke-16 itu sangat penting. Jangan pakai alasan nggak masuk akal untuk cari perhatian kami dan bersikap manja lagi!” Dia menutup telepon dan memutus harapan terakhirku untuk bertahan hidup. Jantungku berhenti berdetak karena nada sibuk telepon. Ini adalah ke-100 kalinya mereka memilih adikku, ke-100 kalinya mereka mengabaikanku, mengecewakanku, dan ini juga yang terakhir. Aku terbaring di dalam genangan darahku sendiri, merasakan napasku perlahan berhenti. Mereka mengira aku kabur dari rumah lagi sebagai alasan untuk melampiaskan ketidakpuasanku. Mereka pikir bahwa selama mereka memberiku pelajaran, aku akan kembali dengan patuh seperti 99 kali sebelumnya. Sayangnya, itu tidak akan terjadi kali ini. Karena aku tidak pernah meninggalkan rumah, aku terus terbaring di ruang bawah tanah rumahku.
