Tinggi Dino Seventeen

Setelah gagal dalam ujian masuk perguruan tinggi, aku menikah dengan Logan Simpson dan bersusah payah mengurus dirinya selama 40 tahun. Namun, setelah dia meninggal, aku justru tidak diizinkan menghadiri pemakamannya. Selain itu, dia membagi separuh hartanya untuk anak-anak, dan separuhnya lagi diberikan kepada cinta pertamanya. Yang ditinggalkan untukku hanyalah satu kalimat. "Surat penerimaan yang kuambil darimu dulu, sudah kutebus dengan 40 tahun ini." Ternyata, saat itu aku bukan gagal ujian, melainkan surat penerimaanku telah diambil olehnya untuk diberikan kepada cinta pertamanya. Aku membuat keributan di pemakamannya, menuntut ketidakadilan selama 40 tahun ini, tetapi anak-anakku justru membenciku. "Ayah dan Bibi Eva memang ditakdirkan bersama, Ibulah yang menyelak dan merusak kebahagiaan mereka." "Kalau Ibu terus membuat keributan, jangan salahkan kami membuang Ibu di desa dan membiarkan Ibu hidup sebatang kara!" Aku akhirnya mati karena terlalu marah. Saat membuka mata kembali, aku sudah kembali ke tahun ketika aku mengikuti ujian masuk perguruan tinggi. Waktu itu, surat penerimaan masih dalam perjalanan, dan hidupku baru saja akan dimulai.

Ayah memilih sepasang anak kembar di pasar gelap untuk dijadikan budak bagi aku dan kakakku. Kakakku lebih dulu memilih sang kakak, bertubuh tinggi dan gagah, meninggalkanku dengan si adik yang sudah sekarat, si "bisu". Aku merasa kasihan padanya, maka aku membiarkannya tinggal di sisiku. Ia tidak bisa bicara, maka aku membawanya berobat ke mana-mana. Ia memiliki fobia kebersihan yang parah, maka aku menjaga jarak dengannya. Aku mengira semua itu akibat trauma yang pernah ia alami. Hingga suatu hari, musuh ayah menculik aku dan kakakku. Ia justru meninggalkanku, tanpa ragu memilih mati untuk melindungi kakakku dari tembakan. Menjelang ajal, untuk pertama kalinya ia membuka mulut, dengan mata memerah ia berkata pada kakakku, "Akhirnya, kamu bisa melihatku." Sedangkan kepadaku, ia berkata, "Di kehidupan selanjutnya, tolong jangan pilih aku." Barulah aku sadar, ternyata ia bukan bisu, dan juga tidak memiliki fobia kebersihan. Apa yang disebut "bisu" dan "fobia kebersihan" hanya ditujukan kepadaku.. Saat membuka mata lagi, aku kembali ke hari pemilihan budak. Kali ini, aku mengabulkan permintaannya.
