The Great Books Program

My husband, Steve Malone, thinks of himself as a highly-educated person. Not only that, but he's also very uninterested in physical intimacy. When we go to bed every night, we have to sleep with a bowl of water between us. In fact, Steve refuses to let me touch him at all. But on the day he returns from the volunteer teaching program in the countryside, I discover a pair of pantyhose all tangled up in his clothes. Upon hearing my question, Steve maintains his cool facade as he explains, "This is contraband that I've confiscated from a student." I never respond to Steve. Instead, I get in contact with the female teacher, Rebecca Cramer, who has gone teaching with Steve earlier. From the other end of the line, Rebecca's sarcastic voice drifts over. "Your husband sure is unstoppable, Audrey. He couldn't resist kneeling in the pig sty while licking the dead skin off that Paige widow's feet. No one could stop him at all. "I heard that Paige even intends to give birth to a child for him. They went at it once per day, you know. I think you should head over here and witness everything for yourself." As soon as I end the call, I contact my lawyer right away and prepare to file for a divorce. This time, I'm hell-bent on ending things with Steve.

Aku pikir dialah takdirku. Sampai hari itu, aku mendengar percakapannya dengan temannya. “Carlos, kamu sungguh kejam, Nadya Kusuma begitu baik padamu, bagaimana bisa kamu mengganti sel telur dan membiarkan Nadya menjadi ibu pengganti hanya karena Laura takut sakit dan tidak berani melahirkan?” “Lagipula, anak itu akan lahir dua bulan lagi, lalu apa yang akan kamu lakukan?” Dia terdiam sejenak dan mendesah. “Ketika bayinya lahir, aku akan memberikannya kepada Laura dan memenuhi keinginannya.” “Sedangkan Nadya, aku akan memberitahunya bahwa bayinya sudah tiada.” “Aku akan menemaninya selama sisa hidupnya.” Ternyata begitu. Perhatian lembut yang kukira, semua hanya untuk adikku. Aku berbalik dan membuat janji untuk operasi. Anak kotor ini, aku tidak menginginkannya lagi. Pernikahan palsu ini, aku lebih tidak menginginkannya.
