Mutual Pining Meaning

Aku sudah menikah dengan Dennis selama sepuluh tahun. Aku bahkan pernah bertemu dengan mantan pacarnya setelah kami menikah. Setiap kali dia bosan dan ingin ganti pasangan, aku selalu jadi alasan terbaik untuk putus dengan setiap pacarnya. “Kamu akan jadi seperti dia kalau menikah denganku. Pada akhirnya, akan bosan karena terlalu akrab dan terbiasa, jadi nggak ada perasaan baru lagi.” Di hari peringatan pernikahan kami, aku malah sibuk menghibur mahasiswi yang baru saja dia putuskan, sementara dia asik menonton bioskop bersama pacar barunya. Saat tisu di tanganku habis, aku seakan melihat bayangan diriku di masa lalu. Jadi, aku pun mengajukan cerai pada Dennis. Dia jarang sekali tampak bingung begitu dan berkata, “Nggak mau tunggu sebentar lagi? Siapa tahu aku bakal sadar dan berubah. Aku hanya tersenyum tipis tanpa menjawab, lalu memesan tiket menuju negeri seberang. Jika aku tak bisa menunggu kepulanganmu, biarlah aku yang melangkah pergi lebih dulu.

a heavy burden that I carried for nine long years. It was hard to admit to myself that Carlos Sky never really loved me, despite all the efforts I made to win him over. I even tried to use the divorce and the company he owned, Sky Corporation, as a way to bargain for him to give me attention and love. But he remained indifferent, insensitive to my feelings and my desperate attempts to win him over. It was a moment of great sadness and disappointment when I realized that he never cared about me in the same way that I cared about him. After the divorce, I had time to reflect on what happened and finally realized that the so-called "love" I felt for Carlos Sky was one-sided. I had deluded myself for years, believing that he loved me, when in reality he never showed this feeling for me. The hardest thing was to admit to myself that I loved someone who never loved me back. It was painful to face the reality that all the time, effort, and energy I put into this relationship was for nothing. Learning to let go of this unrequited love and move on with my life was a difficult journey, but necessary for my own emotional health and well-being. Today, I look back with a mixture of sadness and relief. It was a difficult experience, but I also learned a lot about myself and the true meaning of love. I learned that true love is mutual, it involves reciprocity and respect. It is not something that can be forced or won through negotiations.

Hatiku bergetar hebat. Dengan perasaan penuh harap, aku mendorong pintu ruang istirahat untuk mau membicarakan hubungan kami. Namun, begitu pintu terbuka, sebuah kamisol putih jatuh tepat di kakiku. Aku tertegun di tempat. Sementara Dilan buru-buru menyelimuti tubuh asisten wanitanya yang panik. "Riana, nggak bisakah kamu mengetuk pintu dulu?" Wajahku mendadak pucat. Aku melangkah mundur dengan kikuk, tetapi langkahku tertahan oleh suara pelan sang asisten. "Kak Riana, bisa tolong ambilkan pakaianku?" Aku tidak memedulikan sorot permusuhan di matanya. Sambil berusaha menutupi kegugupanku, aku melemparkan pakaiannya ke tempat tidur, lalu buru-buru melarikan diri. Begitu keluar dari gedung perusahaan, ponselku berdering. Peneleponnya adalah Dilan. "Kak Riana, lain kali jangan seenaknya membuka pintu kamarku." Aku hanya tertawa kecil dan mengiyakan. Sejak hari itu, aku tidak pernah lagi melangkahkan kaki ke dalam dunianya.
