Rumah Dia

Aku tiba-tiba terkena pankreatitis akut. Saat tiba di rumah sakit, dokter menolak untuk merawatku. Alasannya? Suamiku adalah dokter di bagian UGD dan dia telah memberi instruksi agar tidak ada yang menangani kasusku. Di kehidupan sebelumnya, dia langsung datang padaku hanya dengan sekali telepon. Namun karena kejadian itu, "cinta sejatinya", Charlene, mengalami kecelakaan dan meninggal di tempat. Dia menyalahkanku atas semua itu. Pada hari ulang tahun ibuku, dia meracuni makanan kami sekeluarga. Lalu, dengan pisau bedah di tangannya, dia menusukku berulang kali. "Sakit nggak? Tapi Charlene waktu itu lebih sakit lagi. Kalau bukan karena kamu, mana mungkin dia menggantikanku untuk pergi keluar?" "Kamu yang menyebabkan kematiannya. Aku akan memastikan seluruh keluargamu mati untuk menemaninya!" Ketika membuka mata lagi, aku kembali ke hari saat aku minum alkohol demi dia dan akhirnya menderita pankreatitis. Kali ini, dia memilih berlari kepada Charlene tanpa ragu-ragu. Dia mengira dia telah membuat pilihan yang benar. Namun pada akhirnya, dia berlutut dan memohon agar aku kembali.

Hari itu adalah hari ulang tahunku. Kupikir, Andre akan menemaniku ke pantai untuk menonton kembang api. Tapi, pacarku itu malah membawa wanita lain dan anak wanita itu. "Keisya repot bawa anak, tolong pengertian." "Dia nggak tahu jalan dan bawa barang banyak, jadi aku mau antar mereka ke hotel duluan." Dia mengatakannya dengan enteng, seolah sedang menjelaskan masalah sepele. Kelembutan itulah yang membuat kemarahanku tampak berlebihan dan tanpa alasan. Dia membantu mereka masuk ke dalam mobil dan memasangkan sabuk pengaman untuk anak itu. Lalu dia tersenyum dan berkata kepadaku, "Aku nggak lama pasti balik lagi, jangan mikir macam-macam." Aku berdiri di pinggir jalan, menyaksikan mereka pergi seakan-akan mereka satu keluarga sempurna. Malam tiba. Angin laut terasa sangat dingin hingga menusuk tulang. Aku masih menunggu, sampai aku melihat video di akun Keisya. Andre menggendong anak Keisya sambil menonton pertunjukan kembang api di pantai. Pertunjukan itu adalah kejutan yang aku rencanakan sendiri untuk ulang tahunku. Isi komentar di bawahnya senada. [Mereka pasangan yang serasi, keluarga kecil yang bahagia.] Seseorang bertanya padanya kenapa dia tidak menjemputku. Dia tersenyum dan berkata, "Viona pengertian. Dia nggak mungkin marah." Pada saat itu, kue ulang tahunku sudah meleleh seluruhnya. Ternyata, dia bukannya tidak punya hati. Dia hanya terlalu yakin bahwa aku akan terus menunggu selamanya. Tapi, hati yang terlalu lama diabaikan pasti akan menjadi dingin. Ombak menghantam pantai. Menghancurkan ilusi terakhirku. Kali ini, aku tidak akan menunggunya kembali.

"Paman, apa di rumah ada mentimun? Boleh aku pinjam sebentar …?" Saat badai topan melanda, sahabat putriku terjebak di rumahku. Malam itu, dengan wajah kemerahan, dia mencariku untuk meminta mentimun, katanya, "Aku cuma agak lapar, ingin makan mentimun untuk mengganjal perut." Melihat tonjolan kecil di balik baju tidurnya, darahku seketika bergejolak. Aku sengaja berkata, "Paman punya sesuatu yang jauh lebih enak daripada mentimun di sini."

My husband, Clement Norman, promised to make up for our missed honeymoon. It was five years late, but I was still excited. I got ready and really looked forward to it. But right before we boarded the plane, I realized there was someone extra in our group—Clement's childhood friend, Madison Bowen. He explained half-heartedly, "Madison's never been abroad before. I figured we could bring her along." I wasn't thrilled, but when I spoke up, he made it sound like I was being dramatic. "Are you jealous of our relationship because you didn't grow up with a proper family? I see her as a sister. You wouldn't get it—you grew up an orphan." I chose to stay quiet, not wanting to ruin our honeymoon. But we encountered an avalanche halfway through the trip. My leg got stuck deep in the snow, and I couldn't move. And the first thing Clement did was grab Madison's hand and run. He didn't even look back.
