Social Animal David Brooks Novels & Stories

Dokter berkata, aku hanya sisa tiga hari. Gagal hati akut. Satu-satunya harapan adalah uji klinis yang sangat berisiko, peluang terakhir dan paling tipis bagiku untuk bertahan hidup. Namun, suamiku, David, malah memberikan kuota yang tersisa kepada adik perempuan angkatku, Emma, yang juga merupakan ibu baptis putriku. Kondisi penyakitnya masih dalam tahap awal.

Ganjarannya adalah organ dalamku akan gagal berfungsi dan aku akan kehilangan nyawa. Ketika aku menyerahkan perusahaan perhiasan dan rancangan desain yang telah aku kerjakan dengan susah payah kepada Emma, ayah dan ibu memujiku karena menjadi “kakak perempuan yang baik”. Ketika aku setuju untuk bercerai dan membiarkan David menikahi Emma, David mengatakan “akhirnya aku bersikap perhatian”. Ketika aku membiarkan anakku untuk memanggil Emma dengan sebutan ibu, anakku bertepuk tangan dengan gembira dan berkata, “Emma adalah ibu yang lembut dan baik.” Ketika aku memberikan semua hartaku kepada Emma, seluruh keluargaku menganggapnya wajar dan tidak melihat sesuatu yang aneh pada diriku. Aku sangat penasaran, apakah mereka masih bisa tertawa setelah mendengar berita kematianku?
