Soal Reading

Jaka dan Nuning bersahabat sejak kelas 4 SD. Cuma sahabat. Jaka nggak pernah kepikiran nikahin Nuning meski cuma dalam mimpi. Soalnya Nuning itu gesreknya naudzubillah dan sama sekali bukan tipenya. Cewek itu cuma cocok dijadiin 'partner in crime' nyolong mangganya Mbah Surip. Atau dijadiin umpan pemancing keributan di kelas untuk melancarkan aksi bolosnya. Tapi demi apa, nggak ada angin nggak ada hujan, tiba-tiba aja Nuning minta dinikahin?! Alasannya ngehek banget, "Biar orangtuaku ngijinin aku pindah ke Jakarta bareng kamu. Aku kan nggak mau selamanya jadi orang kampung!" Bikin Jaka ngibrit terbirit-birit. Bikin Jaka keki karena kemerdekaannya sebagai jomblo dihabisi. Soalnya Nuning bikin pengumuman kalau Jaka itu calon suaminya. Bikin Jaka mati pasaran di depan gebetannya. Makin ditolak, Nuning makin ugal-ugalan ngejar Jaka macam banteng liat kain merah. Bahkan cewek gebetannya pun tak luput jadi sasaran. Tapi Jaka ogah nyerah, pokoknya Nuning pilihan terakhir baginya kalau udah nggak ada lagi cewek yang bisa dinikahinya di bumi. Titik! Tapi. Bukan Nuning namanya kalau nyerah gitu aja. Jaka tiket emasnya ke Jakarta. Ia pun mengerahkan jurus 'pepet, dempet, srempet' untuk mendapatkannya. Tapi ternyata, Jaka sama tangguhnya. Cowok itu gesit licin bagai belut menghindarinya. Lalu tiba-tiba menghilang. Namun saat Nuning mulai lelah mencari dan menyerah, tiba-tiba saja Jaka kembali nongol di depannya dan berkata, "Oke, kita nikah!" Nuning sukses menggaet tiketnya ke Jakarta. Ya. Cuma pernikahan ini yang bisa membawanya ke kota impian. Nggak peduli apa alasan Jaka mau nikahin dia. Pokoknya... nikah aja dulu, soal cinta urusan belakangan!

Sehari sebelum pesta kelulusan SMA, Ethan menyeretku ke ranjang. Gerakannya kasar dan dia menuntutku sepanjang malam. Meski tubuhku kesakitan, hatiku justru dipenuhi rasa manis. Aku telah diam-diam mencintai Ethan selama sepuluh tahun. Akhirnya, impianku menjadi nyata. Dia bilang, setelah lulus, dia akan menikahiku. Begitu dia mewarisi kekuasaan Keluarga Luciano dari ayahnya, aku akan menjadi wanita paling terhormat dalam keluarga itu. Keesokan paginya, Ethan memelukku erat dan mengaku pada kakak angkatku bahwa kami telah bersama. Aku duduk malu-malu dalam pelukannya, merasa diriku adalah wanita paling beruntung di dunia. Namun tiba-tiba, mereka mengganti percakapan ke dalam bahasa Italia. Lucas, kakak tiriku, menggoda Ethan dengan tawa, "Nggak heran kamu disebut-sebut sebagai Bos Muda. Baru pertama kali saja sudah ada primadona kelas yang nyerahin diri ke kamu." "Gimana rasanya adik tiriku?" Ethan menjawab dengan nada santai, "Luarannya memang tampak polos, tapi di ranjang ... luar biasa liar." Gelak tawa memenuhi ruangan itu. "Jadi, ke depannya aku harus panggil dia adik atau kakak ipar?" tanya Lucas. Namun, wajah Ethan tiba-tiba berubah dingin. "Kakak ipar apanya? Aku lagi coba dekati kapten tim pemandu sorak, takut dia kecewa sama kemampuanku, jadi Cynthia aku jadikan latihan dulu." "Oh ya, soal aku tidur sama Cynthia, jangan sampai Sylvia tahu. Aku takut dia marah." Tanpa mereka ketahui, aku diam-diam telah belajar bahasa Italia, hanya agar kelak bisa lebih dekat dengan Ethan. Mendengar semua itu, aku tidak berkata apa pun. Aku hanya diam-diam mengubah tujuan pendaftaran universitasku dari Caxtech menjadi Maltech.
