Overlord Volume 16

Saat suamiku pergi ke toilet, ponselnya berdering. Aku melirik sekilas. Telepon dari adik suamiku, Ruslan. Aku mengernyit, tetapi tetap mengangkatnya. "Kak, uang bulanan 20 juta buat Ayah dan Ibu kok belum ditransfer? Ibu barusan nanya ke aku." Telepon ditutup. Darahku seolah-olah mengalir terbalik. Suamiku berdiri tepat di depan pintu toilet dan tangannya bahkan belum dikeringkan dari air. Aku menarik sudut bibirku. "Gajimu 16 juta, cicilan rumah 6 juta, kasih aku 4 juta, kamu simpan sendiri 2 juta. Kamu bilang kasih orang tuamu 4 juta, kok jadi 20 juta?" Bibirnya bergerak, tetapi tidak ada suara. Wajahnya sangat pucat, sementara tanganku gemetar hebat. Selama lima tahun, aku tak pernah sekali pun melihat kartu banknya. Lalu, apa lagi yang tidak aku ketahui?

Istriku adalah orang yang mendalami ajaran agama. Hal yang paling tabu baginya adalah menuruti nafsu. Urusan suami istri hanya boleh dilakukan setiap tanggal 16 setiap bulan, bahkan semua hal harus dia kendalikan dengan ketat. Begitu aku melampaui batas, dia akan tanpa ragu menghentikan semuanya dan pergi. Sudah lima tahun kami menikah. Meskipun aku punya banyak ketidakpuasan, karena mencintainya, aku terus mengalah. Aku sempat mengira bahwa meskipun dia adalah seorang "dewi" yang tidak berperasaan, setidaknya dia mencintaiku. Sampai suatu hari, saat aku mengikuti tim ke sebuah hotel yang terbakar untuk melakukan misi penyelamatan, barulah aku sadar betapa salahnya aku selama ini. Saat menemukannya, istriku sedang bersandar di pelukan pria lain. Di antara mereka, bahkan ada seorang anak kecil.

On her first day at work, Eileen sends me a list consisting of 16 workplace rules.
