Squid Game Jun Ho

Aku mengetahui bahwa aku hamil pada waktu yang sama dengan Rosa, kekasih masa kecil suamiku yang seorang mafia. Demi melindungi bayi Rosa agar tidak digugurkan oleh orang tuanya, suamiku mengakui bayi itu sebagai anaknya. Lalu bayiku? Dia membujukku dengan janji bahwa dia akan mengakuinya setelah bayi Rosa lahir. Aku menantangnya dan menuntut penjelasan mengapa dia tega melakukan hal itu kepadaku. Jawabannya dingin dan tak tergoyahkan. "Mengakui bayi Rosa sebagai anakku adalah satu-satunya cara untuk melindungi mereka berdua. Aku nggak akan membiarkan sesuatu terjadi pada dia atau anak itu." Saat itu, ketika aku menatap pria yang telah kucintai selama sepuluh tahun, aku menyadari bahwa cintaku padanya telah mati. Tak lama kemudian, keluargaku mengutukku dan menyebutku perempuan jalang karena mengandung anak tanpa ayah dan memaksaku untuk menggugurkannya. Sementara itu, suamiku berada di kota lain, mendampingi kekasihnya menjalani masa kehamilan. Ketika dia kembali, aku sudah pergi.

Pada ulang tahun pernikahan kami, wanita yang disukai oleh suamiku menunjukkan foto USG di status media sosialnya. Dia juga menuliskan ucapan terima kasih untuk suamiku. "Laki-laki baik yang sudah menjagaku selama sepuluh tahun memberiku seorang anak. Terima kasih." Aku sempat melotot dan berkomentar, "Sudah tahu cuma selingkuhan, tapi masih berani begini?" Aku langsung menelepon suamiku dan memarahinya. "Jangan punya pikiran aneh-aneh! Aku cuma kasih tabung reaksi buat memenuhi keinginannya menjadi ibu tunggal." "Oh ya, Erika saja sudah hamil, kamu yang sudah melakukannya hingga tiga kali masih saja belum hamil. Dasar nggak berguna." Tiga hari yang lalu dia bilang padaku kalau dia harus pergi ke luar negeri untuk urusan bisnis, tidak menjawab telepon atau membalas pesanku. Aku pikir dia sibuk, tetapi tidak disangka dia malah menemani orang lain untuk melakukan pemeriksaan kehamilan. Setengah jam kemudian, Erika memamerkan hidangan mewah di atas meja makan. "Aku bosan sama makan makanan barat, jadi Regha memasak semua makanan kesukaanku." Aku melihat slip kehamilan yang ada di tanganku. Seketika, kegembiraan yang memenuhi hatiku langsung membeku menjadi es. Aku jatuh cinta kepadanya selama delapan tahun, berkomitmen dengannya selama enam tahun dalam ikatan pernikahan. Kali ini, aku akan melepaskan semuanya.
