Mama Lihat

Keributan pecah di rumah sakit. Keluarga pasien mengamuk, pisau terhunus dan diayunkan membabi buta. Refleks, aku mendorong suamiku, Elvano Wiratama, agar selamat. Namun, bukannya menghindar, dia justru menarik tanganku, menjadikanku tameng hidup demi melindungi adik juniornya. Pisau itu menembus perutku. Dan seketika… bayi kecilku yang baru saja terbentuk, hilang untuk selamanya. Saat para rekan dokter histeris berusaha membawaku ke ICU, suamiku malah menarik tubuhku jatuh dari brankar. Wajahnya dingin tanpa rasa iba. “Selamatkan dulu juniorku!” bentaknya bengis. “Kalau dia sampai celaka, kalian semua…akan kupecat!” Suasana membeku. Semua mata terbelalak, kaget sekaligus marah. “Elvano, kamu sudah gila! Lihat dia… dia cuma lecet sedikit, sementara istrimu… dia sekarat!” Aku menahan darah yang terus mengalir dari perutku. Aku mengangguk pasrah. “Nggak apa-apa… lakukan saja… begitu,” ucapku lirih, nafasku berat. Elvano, setelah utang ini terbayar, aku tak lagi berutang apa pun padamu.

"Maaf Mas, ada jurang tak kasat mata di antara kita. Aku ini janda dan ibu tunggal, tidak pantas bersanding denganmu. Sekalipun hati kami berdua kamu menangkan, ingatlah, kita terhalang status. Belum lagi mantan suamiku selalu berulah," ucapku agar ia mengerti. Aku cukup tahu diri. Mata teduhnya semakin menatap dalam dan aku merasa tenggelam. Sudut bibirnya berkedut lalu berkata, "Untuk pertama kalinya saya senang bilang ... TERSERAH. Kamu silahkan menjauh, nanti aku kejar. Saya tidak mau kalah dari mantan suamimu itu. Kalau kamu sabar, saya bisa tegar. Kita lihat, ke mana perahu nasib kita berlayar." Aku menghirup napas serakah, keras kepala sekali pria ini. Ingin kutabok kepalanya, tapi sayang, takut otak cerdasnya rusak. Masa laluku yang selalu saja membawa kesulitan dan keinginan keluarganya yang rumit. Benarkah bisa seperti ucapnya? Entahlah, aku hanya bisa diam membisu, takut berharap berujung sakit.

The zombie apocalypse had arrived, and pets could transform into guardians to protect their owners—each person was allowed no more than three. My best friend had spent a fortune on three Tibetan mastiffs. The landlord cleared out a fish tank to raise a crocodile. My boyfriend? He had stormed the zoo and dragged a lion home. And me? I only had three stray cats. The eldest was blind, the second one limped, and the youngest had just turned one month old. The moment the apocalypse system announced that pet slots were locked, I knew I was doomed. I tried to hide with my three disabled cats, hoping to survive quietly. Day one of the apocalypse: terrified… Day two: helpless… Day three: my cats sauntered over, tails swishing, carrying some unidentifiable object. "Mama, I bit off all the zombie heads on this street. How's that? Solid enough?" I was rendered speechless.
