Keluarga Gigi Hadid

Tiga hari setelah satu bulanan anakku, suamiku, Raka, mengatakan bahwa dia harus melakukan perjalanan dinas. Dia meninggalkanku, membuatku menjaga anak kami sendirian. Tiga hari kemudian, aku baru sampai rumah sakit dan melihat teman masa kecil suamiku yang bernama Indah mengunggah foto keluarga. Dia juga menambahkan tulisan di bawah foto yang dia unggah. "Foto liburan bahagia kami bertiga sekeluarga." Aku terkejut saat melihat Raka tersenyum lebar dalam foto itu, jadi aku menuliskan komentar tanda tanya. Dalam hitungan detik, Raka menelepon dengan nada menuduh. "Dia ibu tunggal, aku merasa kasihan karena nggak ada laki-laki yang menjaganya. Aku cuma nemenin dia foto saja, kenapa reaksimu berlebihan sekali?" Malamnya, Indah kembali memamerkan foto kalung emas. "Setelah mengambil foto keluarga, dia maksa ngasih aku kalung emas." Aku tahu bahwa Raka membeli ini agar Indah tidak marah. Namun, kali ini aku berniat meninggalkannya.

Aku membuat janji pergi ke festival musik bersama sahabatku. Tapi kekasih kakakku mengunciku di toilet. "Anak gadis zaman sekarang nggak punya malu. Merasa nggak berdosa menggoda pacar orang lain!" "Aku akan memberimu pelajaran hari ini. Orang tuamu sendiri gagal mendidikmu, jadi biar kubantu mereka!" Dia tidak mendengarkan penjelasanku dan menyiramkan air pel toilet dari atas kepalaku. Dia menamparku di depan umum, melucuti pakaianku, dan menggunakan solder panas untuk menuliskan kata-kata "Simpanan Murahan" di tubuhku. Saat kakakku tiba, wajahku tidak dapat dikenali lagi karena parahnya siksaan mereka. "Calvin, tolong dengarkan penjelasanku. Sumpah, kukira dia cuma "adik ketemu besar", bukan adik kandungmu!"
