Toxic Relationship

Tahun ketiga setelah kematianku, suamiku akhirnya teringat denganku. Itu karena penyakit leukemia kekasih masa kecilnya kambuh, dia membutuhkan transplantasi sel hematopoietik lagi. Dia mencari ke tempat tinggalku untuk memintaku menandatangani perjanjian donor. Tetapi dia mendapati rumah itu sudah kosong. Dia bertanya kepada tetangga. Tetangga berkata, “Maksudmu gadis bernama Candy Wongso itu? Dia sudah lama meninggal! Kudengar dia dipaksa mendonorkan sumsum tulangnya saat sedang sakit, dia meninggal beberapa hari setelah kembali.” Dia menolak memercayainya, mengira tetangga itu telah bersekongkol denganku untuk membohonginya. Dia berkata kepada tetangga itu dengan tidak sabar, “Jika kamu bisa menemuinya, tolong beri tahu dia, jika dia tidak muncul dalam tiga hari, aku tidak akan membayar sepeser pun biaya pengobatan anak haramnya.” Melihatnya yang keras kepala dan tidak mau mendengarkan, tetangga itu menggelengkan kepala dan pergi, bergumam sendiri, "Kasihan anak itu, dia juga sudah lama mati kelaparan..."

Setelah kekasih masa kecil tunanganku tahu aku memiliki penyakit jantung bawaan, dia dengan sengaja mencampurkan minuman energi konsentrasi tinggi ke dalam sampanyeku. Setelah aku meminumnya, detak jantungku tiba-tiba meningkat, rasa sakit di jantung menerpaku. Aku dengan panik merobek satu-satunya obat darurat yang aku bawa, namun air untuk aku minum obat telah diganti dengan air lemon berkonsentrasi tinggi. Setelah aku meminumnya, seketika wajahku menjadi pucat pasi, akhirnya tidak tahan dan terjatuh ke lantai. “Air lemon mengandung Vitamin C, lebih membantu mengatasi mabuk dan menjaga kesehatan.” Charlotte tertawa terbahak-bahak, dia menyilangkan tangannya sambil menatap ke arah tunanganku, bos Geng Rock Roller. “Ethan, akting tunanganmu yang seorang aktris ini benar-benar hebat.” “Selama bertahun-tahun aku menjadi dokter, tidak pernah lihat orang yang minum sedikit sampanye dan air lemon, malah bisa merasa tidak enak badan seperti ini.” Aku menggigit bibirku hingga hampir berdarah, menahan air mata yang muncul di mataku karena kesakitan dan menggenggam celana Ethan yang ada di depanku. “Sayang, cepat panggil ambulans, aku sudah tidak tahan!” Sedikit keraguan terlihat di mata Ethan, namun dengan cepat terhentikan oleh para tamu di sekitar. “Sudahlah, jangan akting lagi, mana ada orang yang mati karena minum sedikit sampanye dan air lemon.” “Ya benar, kamu hanya iri dengan Charlotte yang naik jabatan, tidak ingin bersulang untuknya, kan?” Seketika Ethan kembali ke ekspresi dinginnya, dia melangkah maju, langsung melepaskan tanganku yang menggenggam celananya. “Charlotte itu dokter, ada dia di sini, kamu tidak akan kenapa-napa di pesta.” Aku pun tidak memohon padanya lagi, langsung mengirim pesan darurat kepada ayahku.
