Tepat di hari peringatan 30 tahun pernikahan kami, suamiku masih dalam perjalanan dinas. Makanan di meja sudah dingin. Di tengah aku masih menunggu kedatangannya, aku menerima notifikasi suamiku reservasi hotel. "Aku masih dinas, bukankah wajar aku menginap di hotel?" Suamiku masih merahasiakan, lalu aku meminta bukti video darinya, tetapi dia tidak membalas pesanku lama. Putraku menyeletuk, "Bu, jangan bertingkah berlebihan. Bukankah Ayah bekerja keras juga untuk kita berdua?" Semua orang menganggap aku adalah ibu rumah tangga yang bahagia karena memiliki suami yang perhatian dan putraku memiliki karier yang sukses. Namun, ketika aku menerima notifikasi reservasi hotel, seketika aku merasa muak. Mereka mengira aku tidak tahu apa-apa. Aku ingin bercerai. Semua pengorbananku selama 30 tahun ini ternyata tidak dihargai. "Kamu bukan anak kecil lagi, berhentilah membuat keributan!" Suamiku memohon agar kami tidak bercerai. Dalam perjalanan pulang di tengah malam, suamiku mengalami kecelakaan mobil. Putraku marah dan mengatakan bahwa aku tidak becus menjadi istri maupun ibu. Melihat anakku emosi dan suamiku yang pura-pura terbaring lemah di ranjang, aku mencibir dalam hati. Kalau kamu suka pura-pura sakit, aku akan membuatmu lumpuh selamanya!'

AREA DEWASA (21+) Akan ada adegan mes*m. Harap yang di bawah umur di skip. "Kamu tidur dengannya?" "Tentu, dia kekasihku. Aku mencintainya." "Kamu hanya mencintaiku, Al." "Itu dulu, sebelum kamu yang berkhianat dan tidur dengan pria lain." "Apakah seleramu jadi serendah itu pada seorang jalang, Alvaro?" Pria itu malah tersenyum mendengar ucapan dari wanita yang berdiri di depan meja kerjanya. Sembari memutar kursi kerjanya, Alvaro kemudian berdiri. Melangkahkan kaki mendekat ke arah wanita yang baru saja mengatakan hal yang dibencinya. Apalagi sialan ini menghina kekasihnya Alvaro. Ia mendekatkan wajahnya ke samping wanita itu dan berkata. "Setidaknya dia masih perawan saat kusentuh. Aku memastikan dia akan jadi istriku dan aku mencintainya. Dia mencintaiku juga, tidak pernah melakukan itu dengan pria lain. Dia tidur denganku, tapi aku melakukannya atas dasar cinta dan menjadikan dia ratu di hidupku. Tidak sepertimu, yang merasa suci. Tapi tidur dengan pria lain saat memiliki pasangan." Alvaro meninggalkan wanita yang bertubuh langsing di ruangannya, tidak peduli dengan hinaan-hinaan yang dilontarkan. Yang jelas Alvaro tidak akan pernah meninggalkan wanita yang telah dicintainya.

I woke up inside a novel, and not even as an important character. I became a pretty background extra in a smut novel. My brother, however, was the only normal person in the entire story. His character setting was the one man the soft, delicate heroine could never win over. He was the cold, unattainable Prince Charming she could never conquer. When the heroine cried and confessed her love, he was studying. When she offered him her whole heart and body, he was busy starting a company. When she spiraled into scandals and nightlife, he was already a billionaire, calm and untouchable. I thought he would live a quiet, ascetic life forever. Until one night, I walked in on him at midnight… holding a piece of clothing I recognized all too well, murmuring a name over and over, a name so familiar that my scalp tingled.
