Kursi 99 Gaya

Every time my husband cheated, he gave me a bracelet. I collected 99 bracelets in four years of marriage—I forgave him 99 times. He was away on a business trip for three days lately. When he came back, he brought home a rare bracelet worth Ten Million Dollars. That was when I knew it was time to ask for a divorce.

Suamiku memberiku gelang batu giok setiap kali dia berselingkuh. Setelah empat tahun menikah, aku sudah menerima 99 gelang dan memaafkannya 99 kali. Kali ini dia pergi dinas selama tiga hari dan kembali dengan membawa gelang giok hijau kekaisaran bernilai puluhan miliar rupiah. Aku tahu sudah waktunya aku mengajukan gugatan cerai dengannya.

Ini hari pertamaku pindah ke SMA swasta elite. Aku melihat satu meja dan kursi berwarna merah tua di barisan belakang ruang kelas yang tidak diduduki siapa pun. Semua orang di kelas baruku sering bicara dengan meja dan kursi itu. "Selamat pagi." "Sampai ketemu besok." Seolah-olah ada seseorang yang duduk di sana. Seseorang yang terlihat di mata semua orang, kecuali aku.

Once upon a time, Leonard truly loved me. In order to establish a Mate Bond with me, he confessed 99 times. On the 99th time, I was finally moved. On the day of our Marking Ceremony, I gave him 99 forgiveness coupons. I promised him that I would forgive him 99 times. As long as he still had coupons left over, I would forgive him and stay with him no matter what he did. We were bonded for six years. In the first five years of our Mate Bond, I rarely ever used the forgiveness coupons. Since his childhood friend Judy returned, however, I started burning through the coupons. When I tore up the 98th coupon, Leonard noticed that I had changed. I no longer made a fuss or fought him over Judy. I simply asked him calmly, “If you go to Judy, can I use up one forgiveness coupon?” Leonard paused and then recovered his cool. “Sure. I only used up slightly over half, so use another if you want.” I stayed silent as he left the house. As it turned out, he had no idea he had just lost his 98th coupon. He only had one chance left. After that, I would leave him forever.

Setelah Tia Lestari, teman masa kecil Andre Sonata, kembali duduk di kursi penumpang di sebelahnya, aku tidak ribut atau marah. Aku menurut dan duduk di kursi belakang, tepat di samping sahabat baiknya, Jimmy Tanusubrata. Saat mobil terguncang, lututku tanpa sengaja bersentuhan dengan pahanya yang kuat dan kencang. Aku sengaja tidak menarik kakiku, dan dia juga tetap diam. Di tengah perjalanan, kami melewati rest area. Tia merengek pada Andre agar menemaninya ke toilet. Begitu pintu mobil tertutup, Jimmy langsung meraih tengkukku dan menciumku dalam-dalam. Saat ciuman itu membuatku kehilangan akal sehat, satu pikiran melintas di benakku... Meragukan pria, memahami pria, menjadi pria... benar-benar sebuah kebenaran mutlak.

Di hari pernikahan putraku, suamiku mengusirku dari kursi utama dan duduk di kursi undangan paling belakang. "Liana nggak menikah seumur hidup dan nggak punya anak karena aku." "Liana cuma mau mewujudkan mimpinya menjadi seorang ibu, hari ini saja. Apa kamu nggak bisa membiarkannya? Kenapa hari ini mesti ribut-ribut?" Aku menoleh ke arah putraku, berharap dia akan menghentikan kekonyolan ini. Akan tetapi, putraku malah berkata, "Itu benar, Bu. Aku sudah memanggilmu Ibu selama 20 tahun. Cuma hari ini saja aku akan memanggil Bibi Liana." "Aku cuma nggak akan ngasih teh ke Ibu. Jadi, bisakah Ibu nggak terlalu mempermasalahkan hal ini?" Menghadapi ayah dan putranya yang kompak ini …. Pada titik ini, tiba-tiba saja aku merasa jika 25 tahun terakhir ini hanyalah sebuah lelucon.

My husband used to love me so much. Back then, he proposed 99 times just to marry me. It wasn't until the 100th proposal that I was finally moved by his persistence and became the envied Mrs. Frederick Morrison of Harbor City. On our wedding day, I gave him 99 reconciliation vouchers. We agreed that as long as these vouchers weren't used up, I would stay by his side forever. … It's been five years since then. Every time Frederick goes out to see another woman, he uses up one reconciliation voucher. Gradually, he suddenly notices that I've changed. I no longer cry or beg him to stay. Only when he loses his mind over his innocent secretary again do I quietly ask him, "Frederick, if you don't come back tonight, can I use a reconciliation voucher?" He pauses mid-step, then immediately turns. "Of course." He thinks he still has many reconciliation vouchers. He doesn't realize this is his last one.

"I want a divorce, Luke." sambit ng asawa niya. Buong akala ni Luke ay makukuntento na ang asawa niyang si Hannah sa kung anong kaya niyang ibigay. Ngunit gaya ng inaasahan, hindi nito kayang mamuhay kasama ang isang mahirap na gaya niya. Isang office staff sa umaga, delivery man sa gabi. Ilan lamang iyan sa mga dahilan kung bakit puro pambubuska at panlalait ang natatamo ni Luke sa mga ka-trabahon at maging sa asawa niyang si Hannah. Ngunit... Paano kung bigla na lamang nila nalaman na ang lalaking inakala nilang mahirap ay isa palang ubod na yamang tagapagmana ng pinakamalaking kompanya sa bansa?
