Toxic Novels

Hari ketika aku keguguran dan mengalami pendarahan hebat, suamiku justru memamerkan foto telapak kaki bayi yang baru lahir di media sosialnya. Teks yang dia tulis berbunyi, "Selamat datang malaikat kecil, Ayah akan selalu menjagamu." Dengan tangan bergetar, aku menelponnya. "Anak kita sudah nggak ada, kamu bisa datang ke rumah sakit nggak?" Dari seberang terdengar tangisan bayi. Suaranya terdengar malas. "Kalau sudah begitu, kamu jaga kesehatanmu baik-baik. Yessy baru saja melahirkan, dia butuh aku. Aku nggak bisa pergi." "Dan yang sudah mati jangan rebut kasih sayang dengan yang masih hidup, ngerti nggak?" Dia langsung menutup telepon. Aku hancur di ranjang rumah sakit, akhirnya menghapus air mata, lalu menekan nomor musuh bebuyutannya, Lukas. "Nikahi aku, seluruh Grup Largi aku bawa jadi mas kawin. Aku cuma mau kamu jatuhin Fandi, kamu mau nggak?"

Malam ketika Adriel diangkat menjadi bos Keluarga Mahendra, aku memberinya keperawananku. Dia adalah pewaris yang sudah dijodohkan denganku bahkan sebelum aku bisa bicara. Kami berciuman di depan jendela besar yang menjulang dari lantai sampai langit-langit, tubuh kami saling terjerat dalam panas lembap senja itu. Sentuhannya yang kasar dan tergesa-gesa membuatku sakit, tapi aku tidak menjauh. Bahkan rasa sakit itu terasa suci, seperti pengorbanan yang rela aku lakukan demi cinta. Tenggelam dalam panasnya momen itu, dia berjanji akan memberiku sepasang sepatu kristal paling indah, supaya aku bisa berdansa waltz pembuka bersamanya di upacara penobatannya keesokan hari. Tarian pertama selalu dipersembahkan untuk bos baru dan calon pengantinnya. Aku menangis bahagia, yakin bahwa tahun-tahun penantian diam-diamku akhirnya akan berakhir seperti dongeng. Tapi aku salah. Teramat salah. Keesokan paginya, aku memaksa tubuhku yang masih nyeri untuk keluar membeli ekspresso kesukaannya. Saat aku kembali, aku mendengar para lelaki bercanda. "Jadi kamu akhirnya tidur dengannya? Bagaimana rasanya bersama Vivian di malam pertamamu sebagai bos?" Suara Adriel terdengar malas penuh ejekan. "Wajahnya seperti malaikat, tubuhnya seperti iblis. Di ranjang, dia benar-benar seperti ular kecil yang menggoda." Ruangan itu langsung riuh oleh siulan-siulan genit. "Jadi, kamu benar-benar akan menikahinya, Bos Muda?" "Serius kamu pikir begitu?" Adriel mencibir. "Vivian cuma pemanasan. Setelah aku cukup berlatih, aku akan menaklukkan si putri es Keluarga Santoso. Kalau nanti aku bosan, aku selalu bisa kembali padanya dan menikahinya." Aku berdiri terpaku di ambang pintu, pandanganku mulai kabur, cangkir kopi di tanganku bergetar. Sebelum dunia gelap di mataku, aku sempat mengirim pesan sandi untuk Bos Indra Wijaya. [Om Indra, untuk promosi yang akan berlangsung tiga hari lagi, tolong pindahkan aku. Sejauh mungkin dari Adriel.]

Suamiku selalu dipuji oleh teman-teman sebagai suami idaman. Semua orang bilang dia begitu mencintaiku dan menjagaku sepenuh hati. Hingga akhirnya aku pergi melakukan pemeriksaan kehamilan. Kakak sepupuku meneleponnya untuk berpamitan sebelum bunuh diri. Tanpa ragu sedikitpun, dia meninggalkan aku yang sedang hamil enam bulan dan pergi menemuinya dengan panik. Ibuku malah memintaku untuk berlapang dada dan ‘meminjamkan’ suamiku pada kakak sepupuku yang sedang depresi. Abangku juga memarahiku, “Kamu bisa tetap tinggal di rumah ini juga karena Susan membelamu! Jadi, apapun yang dia mau, kasih saja padanya!” Aku merasa ini sungguh keterlaluan. Padahal aku adalah keluarga kalian yang sebenarnya, dia hanyalah pencuri yang merebut posisiku. Namun, saat akhirnya aku memutuskan untuk meninggalkan kalian semua, kenapa justru kalian yang menyesalinya?
