Madeline Island Half Marathon

Apa hal pertama yang akan kamu lakukan jika terlahir kembali? Aku? Aku akan mulai dengan menceraikan suamiku, Finn Gunawan. Ya, Finn Gunawan. Lelaki yang menguasai setengah dunia mafia dari balik tirai. Sang Bos Mafia. Pria terkaya di dunia. Pria yang diimpikan semua wanita. Wajahnya terpampang di sampul majalah, dinobatkan sebagai "Pria Terseksi di Dunia" lima tahun berturut-turut. Di kehidupanku yang lalu, aku sudah mencoba segalanya agar dia melihatku sebagai seseorang yang berarti. Aku menikah dengannya. Aku melahirkan anaknya. Aku mengesampingkan semua harga diriku, berusaha menjadi istri yang sempurna. Namun, semua itu sia-sia. Baginya, aku tak berbeda dari seorang pelayan yang mungkin sering dia beri tip. Mudah dilupakan, bisa digantikan, dan nyaris tak terlihat. Jadi kali ini, aku tidak akan memohon dan aku tidak akan berpura-pura lagi. Aku menyerahkan posisiku di hidupnya kepada Madeline Bahar ... dan pergi. Madeline adalah cinta pertama Finn, juga bayangan yang menghantui setiap hari di kehidupanku yang lalu. Kini Madeline duduk di seberangku, menatapku dengan mata berkedip bingung, seolah tak percaya dengan apa yang baru saja dia dengar. "Kamu berusaha keras menyingkirkanku," katanya perlahan, matanya menyipit. "Sekarang kamu mau aku bersama Finn?" "Ya. Itu saja yang kuminta. Temui Finn, bicaralah dengannya. Katakan padanya untuk menandatangani surat cerai." Aku menatap wajahnya yang masih kebingungan dan melanjutkan, "Semua orang tahu aku adalah orang terakhir yang akan melepaskan Finn. Jadi kalau aku bilang mau bercerai, dia nggak akan percaya sedikit pun. Tapi kamu? Kamu orang yang bisa membuat itu terjadi. Benar nggak?" Madeline tertawa, karena akhirnya dia mendapat kesempatan yang selama ini diinginkannya. Aku pun tertawa, karena akhirnya aku bebas.

The first thing I did after rebirth was follow my husband, Franklin Wallace, to the island for his military deployment. In my previous life, as a spoiled rich heiress from a wealthy family, I looked down on Franklin, the commander my family had arranged for me to marry. We fought constantly, huge arguments every few days, small quarrels in between. After having children, I grew to resent our two kids simply because they carried Franklin's blood. Later, when Franklin was ordered to be stationed on the island, I was the first to stand up and object to going with him. Since I opposed it, Franklin did not force me. He took our two kids and his widowed sister-in-law, Elsie Faulkner, to the island instead. Meanwhile, my spoiled and rebellious self could not wait to throw myself into the arms of my first love, Reuben Sandoval, once Franklin left. However, it did not take long before I discovered Reuben was nothing but a gold-digging scumbag who only wanted my money and body. He gave me an STI and drained my family fortune completely. When Franklin returned from the island with our children, they no longer recognized me as their mother and affectionately called Elsie "Mommy" instead. He even told me he had fallen in love with Elsie during their time together on the island. Eventually, I ended up homeless on the streets and starved to death. When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day Franklin was about to leave for his island deployment.
