      Aku tidak pernah menyangka akan berada di titik ini. Menikah dan menjalani rumah tangga tanpa adanya rasa cinta di dalamnya. Pernikahan yang kujalani karena dijodohkan oleh wanita yang katanya melahirkanku. Wanita yang selalu memperlakukanku layaknya robot dan dia yang memegang kendalinya.  Seperti aku yang masih berusaha melepas rasa untuk seseorang yang sekarang entah dimana,  begitu juga dengan Mas Zayn, suamiku, yang tak pernah kurasakan kehangatan cintanya. Awalnya kukira, aku tidak merasakan cinta itu karena hatiku yang masih dibelenggu masa lalu. Namun, ternyata aku salah. Aku tidak merasakan cinta itu bukan karena diriku, melainkan karena memang dia tidak mencintaiku.  Malam itu aku mendapati Mas Zayn  menangis sambil memandangi sebuah foto yang aku tak tau itu siapa. Hingga aku bertekad mencari tahu segalanya. Satu persatu kenyataan mulai terungkap, dan aku sempat menyalahkan diri sendiri. Ada keinginan untuk menyerah, tetapi …apa dayaku? Aku tak bisa mengambil keputusan besar itu, jika dia si Pemegang Remot tak memberi izin untuk robotnya ini. Rasa panas menjalar di pipiku ketika lima jari mendarat indah di sana. Gesekannya meninggalkan bekas merah, sama persis dengan apa yang dulu kurasakan setiap kali menyebutkan keinginanku. “Jangan bikin malu keluarga!” Teriaknya kala itu. “Kamu kira menjadi janda itu menyenangkan? Kalau kamu cerai sama Zayn, siapa yang bakal membiayai kehidupan kita, ha? Siapa yang akan membiayai kuliah dan sekolah adik-adikmu?” Tatapannya nyalang, mengunci pergerakanku. Dadanya naik turun bersamaan dengan mengetatnya rahang membuat nyaliku ciut seketika. Dia, wanita yang kupanggil Ibu itu tak pernah berubah, dan aku tahu seperti apapun aku berusaha baginya aku tak seberharga itu. Aku tak akan diberi celah sedikit pun. Lalu aku harus apa? Bertahan membuatku semakin terluka. Tuhan … sebegitu buruknya kah aku, sampai aku tak pernah layak dicintai? Aku hanya ingin bahagia, meski tak ada yang menaruh cintanya untukku. Apa itu mungkin?

I still didn't understand what he said. I couldn't think of anything I had done to hurt him. Maybe I was really clueless about what was going on in his life.
