Ruang Manager

Ajeng lelah jadi istri yang baik. Lelah pura-pura puas. Di rumah, ia adalah ibu yang sempurna. Tapi di balik pintu kantor, tubuhnya haus, hatinya kosong, dan gairahnya menggerogoti batas. Lalu datang Arga—rekan kerja yang terlalu tenang untuk dicurigai, terlalu tajam untuk diabaikan. Mereka tak bicara soal cinta. Mereka bicara lewat tatapan, desahan, dan kulit yang saling memanggil. Ajeng tahu Arga sudah bertunangan. Arga tahu Ajeng sudah bersuami. Tapi tubuh mereka tetap bertemu. Lagi. Dan lagi. Mereka tidak jatuh cinta dengan cara biasa. Mereka jatuh—dalam pelukan, di balik kursi kerja, di kamar hotel, di ruang sunyi tempat dosa berubah jadi candu. Ini bukan cerita tentang siapa yang salah. Ini tentang dua orang yang menolak padam, dan membiarkan diri terbakar habis-habisan.

"Kylie, this year's annual bonus is evaluated based on two factors: performance and peer reviews. "Since your team never participates in company social events, your coworkers all gave you poor ratings. That's why this is your year-end bonus." Around me, the male employees were receiving bonuses in the tens of thousands. And yet, the women I led—developers who had worked for over ten years and built every core system the company relied on—each received nothing more than a coffee gift card and a mug engraved with the company logo. I laughed out loud. Then I turned and walked into my office and submitted resignation requests for the entire technical team. The manager, Preston Alec, sneered. "Good riddance. AI can replace women like you who only know how to have children." A few days later, the very people who had mocked me were standing in front of me, begging me to come back. I smiled in return. "AI conquers everything, doesn't it?"

I have been dating my manager boyfriend, Caleb Frost, for five years. He calls off our wedding 52 times for Gina Lowe, an aspiring actress on the set. On the day I am ready to give up on him and walk away, Gina falsely accuses me of using expired makeup on her that caused an allergic reaction. So Caleb shoves me into a sealed cellar and locks me inside. As he pushes me down, his face is twisted in disgust. "It's one thing to pick on Gina, but to use expired makeup on her and cause an allergy? Do you know how important an artist's face is? "Stay down there and think about your wrongdoings." With that, he drags the crying Gina to the hospital. The cellar's air vent is blocked. Every breath I take grows harder until I suffocate to death inside. Three days later, Caleb remembers me only after attending a gathering with Gina. But little does he know, I am already dead from the lack of oxygen in that dark cellar.
