Tomato Kak Gem

Ketika suamiku datang ke tempat pemulihan pasca persalinan untuk menemaniku, terapis pasca persalinan yang selalu tidak banyak bicara tiba-tiba menjadi antusias dan bersemangat. Awalnya, dia memuji suamiku yang tinggi dan tampan. Dia masih muda, tetapi sudah menjadi manajer umum perusahaan. Kemudian, dia berasumsi bahwa aku bisa menikah dengan orang kaya dengan mengandalkan operasi plastik yang aku lakukan. Ketika dia melakukan pijat laktasi kepadaku, dia juga menasihatiku bahwa aku tidak bisa memberikan asi kepada anakku karena aku menggunakan implan di payudara, karena itu tidak baik untuk bayi. Aku terlalu malas untuk meladeninya, jadi berdiskusi dengan suamiku tentang nama anak kami nanti. Suamiku mengatakan bahwa ini adalah anak pertama kami, jadi dia harus memikirkannya dengan baik. Namun, terapis pasca persalinan berseru, "Ah, Kak, bukankah sebelum ini kamu sudah pernah melahirkan?"

Dua bulan setelah kematianku, akhirnya Ayah dan Ibu menyadari bahwa mereka lupa membawaku pulang dari perjalanan wisata. Ayah mengerutkan kening dengan jengkel, "Bukankah kita hanya menyuruhnya berjalan kaki pulang? Apa harus sampai berlarut-larut begini?" Adikku membuka percakapan lama kami dan mengirimkan sebuah stiker penuh ejekan, disertai pesan. [ Lebih baik kamu mati di luar sana, jadi seluruh harta Nenek jatuh ke tangan aku dan Kak Sierra. ] Namun, tak ada balasan dariku. Dengan ekspresi dingin, Ibu berkata, "Katakan padanya, kalau dia datang tepat waktu ke pesta ulang tahun neneknya, aku nggak akan permasalahkan soal dia sengaja mendorong Sierra ke air." Mereka tidak pernah mengira bahwa aku tak pernah berhasil keluar dari hutan itu. Akhirnya setelah melalui pencarian yang intens, mereka menggali setiap jengkal tanah hingga di tengah hutan pegunungan dan menemukan sisa-sisa tulang belulangku.

Seminggu sebelum pernikahan, Jimmy, tunanganku tiba-tiba bilang bahwa dirinya harus menikahi cinta pertamanya sebelum menikah denganku. Katanya, karena ibu cinta pertamanya baru saja meninggal dan meninggalkan pesan terakhir, berharap mereka bisa menikah. "Semasa hidup, ibunya Mia selalu berharap dia bisa menikah dengan pria yang baik. Aku hanya mau memenuhi harapan terakhir seorang ibu, kamu jangan pikir aneh-aneh." Padahal, perusahaan kami sudah merencanakan peluncuran proyek perhiasan bertema cinta sejati, tepat di hari pernikahan kami. Dengan nada kesal, dia menambahkan, "Hanya proyek triliunan, mana bisa dibandingkan dengan bakti Mia ke ibunya? Kalau kamu memang sangat menginginkan keuntungan triliunan itu, cari orang lain untuk menikah saja." Mendengar kata-katanya yang tak berperasaan itu, aku pun sadar sepenuhnya. Aku berbalik dan menelepon keluargaku. "Kak, bantu carikan calon suami baru untukku."

On my birthday, my fiancé used his supermarket points to get me a pair of dishwashing gloves. But at an auction, he bought a five-million-dollar gem for his first love. I was mad, confronting him, but he called me a gold digger. "I've been giving you money to spend. Isn't it only right that you take care of me? This was supposed to be my final test for you. If you passed, we'd get married. You've let me down big time." I broke up with him. He turned around and proposed to his first love. Five years later, we ran into each other on a private vacation island. Alex Thompson saw me in the workers' uniform picking up trash on the beach. He mocked me on the spot.
