Toxic Relationship

Di hari mencoba gaun pengantin, Levi sekali lagi menunda hari pernikahan kami. Alasannya adalah adik angkatnya baru saja putus cinta dengan pacarnya. "Neina baru saja putus, dia sedang butuh penghiburan. Pernikahan kita hanya akan membuatnya semakin sedih." Aku mengangguk setuju dan menanggalkan gaun pengantin itu dalam diam. Demi adik angkat yang dia besarkan sendiri itu, Levi sudah berulang kali menunda pernikahan kami. Pertama kali, adik angkatnya bertanya dengan air mata berlinang, "Kak, kalau kamu menikah dengannya, apa kamu nggak akan mau punya adik sepertiku lagi?" Hati Levi luluh. Dia bersumpah akan menunggu hingga adiknya lulus kuliah baru akan menikah. Kedua kalinya, saat sang adik sudah lulus kuliah. Dia kabur dari rumah dan meninggalkan sepucuk surat perpisahan. [Kak, aku nggak sanggup berpisah denganmu.] Levi berjanji, dia baru akan menikah setelah adiknya menemukan pasangan yang sesuai. Tahun demi tahun berlalu, penantianku menjadikanku bahan tertawaan di lingkaran pergaulan kami. Kali ini, aku tidak ingin menunggu lagi. Aku mengirimkan pesan singkat kepada Levi. [Ayo kita putus. Semoga kamu dan adik kecilmu itu hidup bahagia selamanya.]

Gagal ginjal stadium akhir. Ginjal yang paling cocok untukku… justru diberikan suamiku kepada adikku. Aku menolak saran dokter untuk terus menunggu donor baru dan memilih keluar dari rumah sakit lebih awal. Hati yang telah lama membeku, tak lagi punya alasan untuk bertahan. Seluruh harta yang kukumpulkan selama bertahun-tahun, kuserahkan kepada adik. Akhirnya, senyum orang tuaku pun kudapatkan. Suamiku merawat adikku siang dan malam tanpa istirahat. Aku tak marah, malah mengingatkannya untuk lebih hati-hati dan teliti. Bahkan ketika anakku ingin memanggil adikku sebagai “ibu”, aku pun tersenyum dan menyetujui. Semuanya sudah berjalan sesuai keinginan mereka. Lalu… mengapa sekarang mereka menyesal?

Setelah kembali memergoki suamiku, Dante, di ranjang bersama asistennya, Angel, aku melakukan sesuatu yang bodoh. Aku membocorkan videonya. Aku ingin seluruh dunia melihat mereka apa adanya. Namun, yang kudapat malah gugatan dari pihak keluarga dan hukuman penjara enam bulan dan sebuah esai dari putraku yang berjudul "Mamaku Seorang Psikopat". Saat itulah aku benar-benar hancur. Aku mengajukan gugatan cerai dan menyerahkan hak asuh putra kami. Pada hari keberangkatanku, Dante menyeringai sinis padaku. "Kamu mau ke mana tanpa aku, Livia? Belum terlambat kalau kamu mau merangkak kembali." Yang tidak dia ketahui adalah ibuku mengendalikan Keluarga Waluyo, keluarga dan organisasi terbesar di Ivalia ... dan aku adalah satu-satunya pewarisnya.

Aku adalah pembunuh paling terampil sekaligus penasihat kepercayaan sang bos mafia, Alexander, dan juga istri rahasianya. Namun, selama lima tahun pernikahan rahasia kami, dia tidak pernah mengizinkan putra kami memanggilnya "Papa". Dia selalu berkata bahwa keluarga-keluarga musuh terus mengawasi kami dan aku serta putra kami adalah satu-satunya kelemahannya. Semua itu, katanya, demi melindungi kami. Aku memercayainya, lalu diam-diam membantunya mengurus seluruh urusan keluarga, sampai cinta pertamanya, Bella, kembali dengan seorang anak laki-laki berusia lima tahun. Dia bahkan memesan seluruh taman bermain hanya untuk mereka berdua bermain seharian. Hari itu adalah ulang tahun putraku. Dia dengan keras kepala menunggu papanya pulang, memeluk kue yang perlahan meleleh di tangannya. Saat itu, harapanku benar-benar hancur. Aku menelepon seseorang dan berkata pelan, "Tolong hapus identitasku dan Leo. Hapus semua informasi tentang kami." Namun, ketika aku dan putraku benar-benar menghilang, bos mafia yang berkuasa itu justru menjadi gila, menyisir seluruh dunia, dan mencari jejak kami tanpa henti ....

Pacarku bilang dia tidak gila hubungan pria dan wanita, juga tidak suka disentuh. Kami sudah berpacaran selama lima tahun, tetapi hubungan kami hanya sebatas berpegangan tangan dan berpelukan. Bahkan, meski kami tidur di ranjang yang sama, dia menolak untuk menyentuhku. Aku pikir, dia memang orangnya dingin. Namun, kemudian, dia malah ingin punya anak dengan putri mentor yang pernah berjasa untuknya. Pacarku bilang, "Aku cuma pinjamkan spermaku padanya. Ini permintaan terakhir guru. Aku nggak bisa nolak." "Lagian, cuma aku satu-satunya teman Anna." Aku tersenyum tipis. "Nggak perlu dijelaskan. Aku mendukungmu." Tidak ada gunanya berdebat tentang benar dan salah dengan orang yang sudah tidak dicintai lagi.

Pada malam perayaan ulang tahun pernikahan kami yang pertama, aku tergeletak di atas karpet merah darah, hampir tak bernyawa. Suamiku, Mason, seorang bos mafia, justru merangkul teman masa kecilnya, Yani, sambil menikmati sampanye dan bercakap dengan gembira. Yani tahu aku alergi wijen. Jadi dia membuat setiap hidangan malam ini disiram saus wijen. Aku baru menggigit satu suap. Tenggorokanku langsung membengkak, paru-paruku seperti terbakar, dan ruam merah menjalar di kulitku. Di ambang sesak napas, aku mengerahkan seluruh tenagaku untuk meraih obat alergi di dalam sakuku. Tapi obat itu meleleh, lengket di telapak tanganku. Obatku ternyata telah ditukar menjadi kacang cokelat M&M! Melihat ekspresiku yang tak percaya, Yani tertawa. "Kejutan! Aku sengaja menyuruh Mason mengganti obatmu." "Kita semua tahu kamu cuma pura-pura alergi. Siapa sih yang cuma makan sedikit wijen saja langsung pingsan? Lebay banget." Aku terjatuh dari kursi, berbaring di lantai sambil susah payah bernapas. Di telingaku terdengar suara orang-orang lain yang sedang bertaruh berapa lama aku akan ‘berakting’ kali ini. "Mason… berikan obatku…" Aku memohon dengan suara parau. "Kumohon… aku benar-benar akan mati…" Dia menghela napas. "Drama banget. Kalian perempuan bisa nggak sih berhenti pakai kata ‘mati’ buat mengancam laki-laki? Apa aku belum cukup mencintaimu?" "Yani benar. Selama aku nggak peduli, kamu sendiri yang akan berhenti dengan akting murahan ini." Saat itu, hatiku terasa lebih sakit daripada tenggorokanku. Aku tak lagi menjelaskan apa pun. Dengan tangan gemetar, aku mengirim sinyal permintaan bantuan kepada keluargaku.
