Pada tahun kesepuluh pernikahan kami dengan sang pianis genius, aku terserang sebuah penyakit aneh. Sebulan yang lalu, demi menjaga adik iparnya yang sedang sakit, suamiku absen dari pesta ulang tahunku. Aku yang setiap hari menunggunya pulang, kali ini aku lupa menunggu dan tidur lebih awal. Setengah bulan yang lalu, suamiku membawa adik iparnya menghadiri sebuah pertunjukan penting. Aku yang biasanya pencemburu, kali ini tidak marah sedikit pun dan hanya pulang ke rumah dengan tenang. Tiga hari yang lalu, aku jatuh sakit dan demam tinggi. Suamiku bergegas pulang dari luar kota, tetapi ternyata hanya untuk merawat tangan adik ipar yang melepuh karena tersiram air panas. Setelah bertemu di rumah sakit, aku yang biasanya mudah cemburu, justru merasa tenang secara luar biasa. Aku melupakan janji kami untuk menua bersama, juga melupakan kata-katanya dulu yang bilang bahwa dia akan merasa sangat sedih meski kulitku hanya lecet sedikit. Hingga saat suamiku mengatakan ingin menjemput adik iparnya untuk tinggal di rumah dan merawatnya seumur hidup, ingatanku mulai memudar dan aku memanggil Sistem. "Aku mau pulang."

Malam itu, gairah meluap dan semuanya nyaris lepas kendali. Setelah tersadar, dia berjanji akan bertanggung jawab kepadaku. Dia sangat memanjakanku. Apa pun yang kuminta, selalu dia penuhi.

Sambil merangkul pinggang wanita itu, dia menyuruhku memanggilnya "Kakak Ipar". Aku bertanya kepadanya, "Kalau dia kakak iparku, lalu apa arti lima tahun penantianku untukmu?"
