Serigala Dire

— Professor… Por favor. Eu vim pra aprender a dirigir. Não pra isso. Ela era casada. Ele era instrutor de direção e, para piorar, amigo do marido. Durante as aulas, cada erro no pedal virava um pretexto para se aproximar. Cada correção vinha acompanhada de um toque que ultrapassava o necessário. Presa dentro do carro da autoescola, sem ter para onde ir, ela sentia a linha entre o certo e o proibido se desfazer minuto a minuto. Naquele dia, uma escolha errada, de roupa, de silêncio, de confiança, fez tudo escapar do controle. O espaço apertado, a respiração próxima demais, a tensão que já não dava mais para disfarçar.

Sepuluh hari setelah longsor salju, suamiku akhirnya teringat padaku. Cinta pertamanya menderita anemia aplastik dan sangat membutuhkan sumsum tulangku. Dia pulang dengan membawa formulir persetujuan donor supaya aku bisa menandatanganinya. Namun, dia malah mendapati rumah yang kosong. Kelly bersandar lemah padanya. "Apa Vanessa begitu membenciku, makanya dia sengaja kabur dari rumah karena nggak mau donorkan sumsum tulangnya? Sudahlah, aku masih bisa bertahan beberapa saat." Kelvin menghibur Kelly dengan lembut, "Aku nggak akan membiarkan apa pun terjadi padamu. Cuma minta dia donorkan sumsum tulang kok. Itu nggak akan membunuhnya." Kelvin mengeluarkan ponsel dan mengirimiku pesan. [ Nggak peduli di mana pun kamu berada, segera kembali untuk tandatangani formulir persetujuan donor. ] [ Kamu nggak boleh begitu egois! Penyakit Kelly sangat parah. Kalau nggak segera jalani transplantasi sumsum tulang, dia akan meninggal. Cuma mau kamu donorkan sumsum tulang kok, bukan mau ambil nyawamu! ] [ Kalau kamu nggak setuju, aku akan putuskan biaya pengobatan ibumu! ] 'Kelvin, aku meninggal setelah kamu bawa Kelly pergi dari resor ski. Aku dan anak dalam kandunganku sudah mati terkubur dalam longsor salju. Demi menolongku, ibuku diterkam serigala dan juga sudah meninggal. Kenapa kamu nggak tahu?'

« Es-tu vraiment venu ici pour me dire que tu étais avec une autre femme avec laquelle tu as couché et que tu as mise enceinte ? » « Quoi ? » C’est Timothée qui parle, sa voix laisse transparaître son choc alors que son regard passe de moi à Kaïs. Le regard habituellement impassible de Kaïs reste le même, comme s’il n’était pas affecté par mes paroles et la douleur qu’il m’a causée. « Ne faisons pas ça ici, Lucie. Tu sais que je ne peux pas simplement la laisser. » Je ricane. « Je ne t’en ai jamais empêché. Tu sais quoi ? Tu n’aurais jamais dû venir ici. Tu aurais dû rester avec elle puisque c’est là où se trouve ta loyauté maintenant et que je ne suis plus dans le jeu. » Kaïs fronce les sourcils, s’approche et m’intimide un peu avec sa taille et son imposante carrure : « Qu’est-ce que cela veut dire ? Tu es ma femme. » « Ex-femme, » je dis ces mots sans même y réfléchir. Je n’ai pas pensé à tout ça mais je m’en moque car tout mon être semble être d’accord sur le fait que c’est le mieux pour moi. « Je veux un divorce, Kaïs. » Ses yeux s’écarquillent, incapables de contenir le choc face à mes paroles, et je suis fière de moi, d’avoir finalement obtenu une réaction qui n’est ni de la colère ni de la froideur. « Les papiers de divorce et ma démission te parviendront bientôt. » J’ajoute avant qu’il ne puisse se remettre de son choc, et je n’attends pas qu’il réponde tandis que je me tourne vers Timothée, qui est tout aussi stupéfait. « Ramène-moi chez moi, Timothée. »
