Hari itu adalah perayaan ulang tahun Ryan ke-70 tahun. Aku baru pulang dari stasiun kereta api di tengah hujan lebat. Sesampainya di depan pintu rumah, aku menemukan pintu rumah terkunci. Ketika mendengar suaraku, tetangga seberang rumah berkata dengan ekspresi bingung, "Tante Elita, kenapa Tante pulang? Om Ryan hari ini menikah, dia dan istrinya sekarang masih menginap di hotel!"

Dengan dalih menghindari penagih utang, putraku mengantarku ke rumah lama dan memintaku tinggal di sana selama satu bulan. Ternyata sekarang Ryan sudah menikah lagi?
