Stress Poetry

After my husband cheats, my relatives advise me to be tolerant and forgiving. Why? Because my husband's mistress is pregnant, and I'm infertile. Even his parents hurry to our house in the middle of the night to say, "Don't worry—we won't let that woman step foot in this house. Once she gives birth, the child will be yours." Is that so? I sneer as I look at a medical report. Perhaps the child will have something to do with me, but it definitely won't have anything to do with my husband.

Jenis pernikahan yang tak pernah kubayangkan akan kujalani. Menjadi istri kedua dari seorang pengusaha bertaraf go internasional. Aku seorang Alexandra yang memiliki nama keluarga Ganendra menanggung gelar sebagai istri kedua?! Hah! Lebih gilanya lagi permintaan ini bukan karena perselingkuhan ataupun aku menyukai lelaki tersebut. Tapi, istri sahnya sendiri yang mendatangi dan memintaku untuk menjadi madunya. Aku terpaksa menyetujuinya bukan karena aku kekurangan harta atau rawan jatuh miskin. Tapi, karena satu perkataan yang terlontar dari mulut Athan Vasaya Balazs. Dia mengatakan bahwa pernikahan kami adalah bentuk simbiosis mutualisme. Seolah dia mengetahui rahasia terbesar yang selama ini kusembunyikan dari orang disekitarku. Jadi bagaimana aku harus menjalani pernikahanku? Haruskah cukup dengan prinsip dasar tadi, ataukah akan muncul benih cinta dan perasaan di antara kami?

Beneath the photo, a message read: [The best birthday gift and a symbol of our decade-long bond.] Furious, I called her. "Don't you know he's married?"
