Karena kemampuan tertentu yang sangat kuat dari pacarku, kami selalu berusaha mencari hal-hal baru untuk dilakukan selama bercinta. Untuk itu, dia tidak hanya sekali membujukku dengan kata-kata manis, "Kita akan menikah setelah kamu lulus." Bodohnya, aku percaya padanya. Jadi, aku berjuang mati-matian menyelesaikan SKS agar bisa lulus lebih cepat. Aku juga diam-diam membaca berbagai materi dan mempelajari teknik, hanya untuk memuaskan tubuhnya. Sampai suatu hari, karena belajar sampai larut dan melewatkan jam malam asrama, aku pergi ke bar untuk mencarinya. Tanpa sengaja, aku mendengar dia berbicara dengan teman-temannya. "Kak Aidan, apa pacarmu benar-benar segatal itu?" "Ya jelas, masa nggak? Dia dilatih oleh Kak Aidan sendiri." "Kalau Lira gimana?" Aidan Jace mengembuskan asap rokok, tatapannya lembut. "Dia beda, dia sangat polos." Saat itu juga, aku mulai membencinya. Sesampainya di kampus, aku langsung menelepon profesor. "Proyek rahasia yang Bapak sebut waktu itu... saya ingin daftar." Mulai dari hari itu, seluruh hidupku hanya untuk bangsa dan negara.

Tepat pada peringatan sepuluh tahun pernikahan kami, juga bertepatan dengan ulang tahun kesepuluh anakku, aku sudah menyiapkan rencana sejak sebulan sebelumnya. Aku merencanakan perjalanan wisata keluarga bersama suami dan anakku. Namun, menjelang hari keberangkatan, ayah dan anak itu justru menghilang begitu saja. Tinggal aku seorang diri berdiri di jalanan yang diguyur hujan deras, menelepon mereka berulang kali. Di seberang sana, terdengar suara anakku yang masih kekanak-kanakan, dingin dan tak sabar. "Papa lagi temani Tante Brittany makan, kami nggak mau pergi lagi." Telepon itu ditutup dan aku langsung diblokir. Ayah dan anak itu sengaja mengunciku di luar rumah, membuatku kedinginan semalaman penuh. Ditambah dengan hujan deras semalam, malam itu juga aku demam tinggi hingga menderita pneumonia. Sementara ayah dan anak itu justru sibuk berlibur bersama Brittany, bahkan mengambil foto liburan keluarga. Kali ini, aku tahu bahwa pernikahan ini benar-benar telah sampai di ujung jalan.

Setelah tujuh tahun menikah, dia memanjakanku sepenuh hati. Malam demi malam dia selalu menuntut kemesraan dariku. Bahkan jika aku menginginkan bintang di langit, dia tetap akan berusaha mengambilkannya untukku. Aku sempat mengira, akhirnya aku telah menemukan kebahagiaan. Hingga suatu kali setelah bercinta, aku tidak sengaja mendengar percakapan Vincent dengan sahabatnya. "Avril sudah jadi aktris internasional peraih penghargaan. Kapan kamu mau pisah sama Ariel?" "Toh sama saja harus nikah sama orang yang nggak kucintai, jadi mau sama siapa pun itu nggak ada bedanya. Lagi pula, aku harus jaga Ariel agar dia nggak mengganggu kebahagiaan yang didapatkan Avril dengan susah payah." Aku membuka komputer di ruang kerjanya. Di dalam sebuah folder tersembunyi, tersimpan ratusan ribu foto Avril dan seratus surat cinta yang tak pernah dia kirimkan. Setidak percaya apa pun pada kenyataan, saat ini aku benar-benar sudah harus sadar. Aku membeli sebuah tubuh plastik, lalu merancang sebuah kebakaran besar. Mulai saat ini, entah di langit atau di neraka, aku tak akan pernah bertemu dengannya lagi.
