Poem About Toxic Relationship

Setelah resepsi pernikahan ke-88 kali dibatalkan, aku menelepon partnerku, "Aku mau daftar untuk mengembangkan pasar di Negara Heksa." Suara partnerku yang terkejut terdengar. "Apa kamu sudah pikirkan baik-baik? Kamu nggak boleh pulang selama 10 tahun setelah pergi ke Negara Heksa. Kamu baru nikah hari ini, tapi langsung pisah rumah. Apa suamimu setuju?" Partnerku menambahkan, "Bagaimana dengan orang tuamu? Bukannya keinginan terbesarmu itu menemani mereka?" Aku memandangi gereja yang kosong, lalu tersenyum getir dan menimpali, "Resepsi pernikahan dibatalkan, mana mungkin aku punya suami? Mengenai orang tuaku, mereka sudah cukup bahagia ditemani Yasmin." Partnerku terdiam sedetik sebelum menyahut, "Oke. Kalau begitu, kamu siap-siap. Besok kamu berangkat." Sesudah mengakhiri panggilan telepon, aku menyentuh gaun pengantinku. Air mataku yang terakhir menetes. Hari ini, depresi yang diidap adik angkatku kambuh lagi dan dia ingin bunuh diri. Lagi-lagi, Aditya membatalkan resepsi pernikahan kami. Aku yang tidak berdaya dan putus asa berucap sambil memandangi Aditya, "Ini sudah yang ke-88 kali." Aditya merasa bersalah. Dia menunduk sembari membujukku, "Beri aku waktu lagi ya? Willa, kamu tahu sejak kejadian itu, kondisi mental Yasmin nggak stabil. Aku benar-benar takut dia melakukan hal bodoh." Aditya berjanji, "Kamu tenang saja. Kali ini, aku pasti akan jelaskan padanya. Setelah itu, kita segera menikah." Orang tuaku mendesak Aditya untuk segera menyelamatkan Yasmin. Ayahku menegur, "Willa, cepat lepaskan Aditya. Kalau bukan karena dulu Yasmin menyelamatkanmu, mana mungkin dia diculik? Dia nggak akan mengidap depresi dan mentalnya nggak akan hancur." Ayahku meneruskan, "Sekarang kamu menghalangi Aditya untuk menyelamatkan Yasmin, apa kamu mau mencelakai adikmu? Kenapa kamu begitu egois? Apa resepsi pernikahanmu lebih penting daripada nyawa Yasmin?" Aku sudah sering mendengar teguran seperti ini. Dulu aku pasti membantah, tetapi kali ini aku terdiam. Tunanganku dan orang tuaku tidak menyukaiku, bahkan mereka tidak memercayaiku. Kalau begitu, aku pergi saja.

Pada hari libur semester, unggahan di status WhatsApp yang paling viral adalah tentang diriku. Judulnya adalah, "Pak Bondan membawa putranya untuk merayakan ulang tahun cinta sejatinya. Apakah dia akhirnya berencana bercerai dengan Sofia Jayadi?" Aku diam-diam menyukai postingan itu. Saat ponselku berdering, aku sedang membongkar balon-balon yang telah disiapkan untuk hari jadi pernikahan. "Sayang," ujar suamiku dengan terburu-buru, ingin memberikan penjelasan. "Anak kita tiba-tiba merengek ingin pergi ke taman bermain, jadi aku ...." Di latar belakang, terdengar suara tawa anak kami. "Ayah, Bibi bilang kalau malam ini aku bisa tidur dengannya!" Aku menatap rumah yang berantakan ini. Balon-balon tampak terkulai lemas, sementara krim di atas kue sudah mengeras. "Kamu nggak perlu menjelaskan." Aku mendengar diriku berkata, "Aku memahami semuanya." Hanya saja, kali ini semuanya akan berbeda. Aku tidak menginginkan ayah dan anak ini lagi.

Hari pendaftaran pernikahan, aku menunggu di Kantor Catatan Sipil sejak pagi hingga langit gelap. Sementara itu, pacarku Soni malah menemani cinta pertamanya naik gunung. Aku meneleponnya belasan kali, tapi semuanya ditolak. Sampai telepon ke-20 baru dia mengangkat. "Sehari nggak ketemu aku saja kamu harus menelepon puluhan kali, mau nyawa aku diambil, ya? Kamu sebenarnya segitu kekurangan lelaki, ya?" "Yeni lagi nggak enak badan, jantungnya kambuh. Aku harus jagain dia di rumah sakit. Urusan nikah, lain kali saja." Sepuluh tahun bersama, ini sudah ke-100 kalinya Soni meninggalkanku sendirian di depan Kantor Catatan Sipil demi perempuan itu. Untuk ke-101 kalinya, dia hanya meninggalkan pesan. [Sayang, jam sepuluh ketemu di Kantor Catatan Sipil.] Aku menahan tawa dingin, mengabaikan pesannya, lalu melangkah naik ke pesawat menuju luar negeri. Soni, kali ini aku tidak akan memilihmu lagi. Pria yang biasanya selalu terlihat tenang itu, begitu tahu aku pergi, benar-benar kehilangan kendali menggila.

Di tahun ketika pacarku paling miskin, aku memutuskan hubungan dengannya. Beberapa tahun kemudian, dia menjadi bos mafia dan menggunakan segala cara untuk menikahiku. Semua orang berkata, aku adalah cinta pertama yang tak bisa dia lupakan, istri yang paling dia hargai. Namun belakangan, dia membawa pulang wanita yang berbeda setiap malam hingga aku benar-benar menjadi bahan tertawaan semua orang. Aku tidak menangis ataupun marah, hanya diam di kamarku sendiri. Aku tidak pernah mengganggu kesenangannya. Elton marah besar. Dia menciumku dengan kasar, lalu bertanya dengan suara rendah, "Kamu nggak cemburu?" Namun, Elton tidak tahu bahwa aku sedang sakit. Dia bisa membeli setengah kota dengan kekerasan, ancaman, dan uang. Dia bisa membeli kebebasanku, pernikahanku, dan terbenam dalam pelukan wanita lain setiap malam .... Namun, dia tidak tahu bahwa hidupku hanya tersisa tujuh hari lagi.

I looked at her amused. I got up from my seat and stood infront of her. Not too close, not yet. ''You imagine too much Ms. Vitale. I can assure you that I'm not plotting anything, although I did plan something different". I whispered the last part. ''W-what?'' She asked looking confused. Cute. ''I'm sorry for what happened that day. You are right, I shouldn't have kissed you without your consent.'' I said taking a step forward. ''You are sorry?'' She asked looking surprised. I chuckled. ''Yes'' I said taking another step. She leaned back slightly, it's almost unnoticeable, but didn't move from her place. Trying to look brave huh? ''T-Then why are you doing all this?'' She asked in low voice. I took one last step. We are finally too close. I can feel the heat radiating from her body. I started trailing my fingers from her arm to collarbone, she shuddered and goosebumps erupted on her skin. I leaned down, brushing her earlobe with my lips, making her breath uneven. ''Are you in a relationship Ms. Vitale?'' ''N-No'' Her words came out in a whisper. ''Good.''
