Sir Thomas Sharpe

Di jamuan makan, suamiku yang dikenal sebagai pelukis genius itu menggunakan tangannya yang diasuransikan senilai triliunan untuk mengupaskan kepiting bagi asistennya. Semua itu hanya demi membujuk asisten yang sedang tak nafsu makan itu agar mau menyantap sedikit makanan. Sementara itu, aku minum alkohol sampai muntah darah demi menarik investasi untuknya. Saat itu aku hanya meminta dia mengambilkan obat maag untukku. Namun, dia langsung menolak, "Tanganku ini dipakai untuk melukis. Kamu sendiri nggak punya tangan, ya?" Sepuluh tahun lamanya, bahkan alasan penolakannya pun tak pernah berubah. Hari itu, aku tersadar dari mabuk di tengah angin dingin, lalu meminta pengacara menyusun sebuah perjanjian perceraian. Renzo, di perjalanan hidup yang panjang ini, kamu dan aku tak lagi searah.
