Toxic Relationship

Di hari pernikahan, pacarku Hubert menyuruh orang mengusirku dari aula pernikahan, lalu masuk sambil bergandengan tangan dengan sahabat masa kecilnya. Aku terduduk di lantai dengan tak percaya, bunga pernikahan yang tadinya ada di tanganku hancur lebur di lantai, tapi dia bahkan tidak melirikku. "Anak Yuna butuh seorang ayah. Setelah situasi lebih tenang, aku akan menikahimu." Semua orang mengira aku yang begitu setia akan rela menunggunya sebulan lagi. Bagaimanapun juga, aku sudah menunggu pernikahan ini selama tujuh tahun. Tapi malam itu, aku melakukan sesuatu yang tak terbayangkan .... Aku menyetujui pernikahan yang diatur orang tuaku, lalu segera pergi ke luar negeri. Tiga tahun kemudian, aku pulang ke negara ini untuk menjenguk orang tua. Suamiku Leandro kini adalah presiden perusahaan multinasional. Karena mendadak ada rapat penting, dia khusus menyuruhku pergi ke kantor cabang dalam negeri dulu. Dia bahkan menyuruh bawahannya untuk menyambutku. Tak disangka, bawahan itu ternyata Hubert yang sudah tiga tahun tidak bertemu. Sekilas saja Hubert melihat cincin yang berkilauan di jari tanganku. "Itu 'kan model tiruan dari cincin yang dibeli Pak Leandro dengan harga 10 miliar untuk istrinya? Tak disangka setelah beberapa tahun tak jumpa, kamu malah jadi begitu mengejar gengsi." "Kamu sudah ngambek cukup lama, harusnya sudah puas. Pulanglah! Anak Yuna sudah masuk usia sekolah, pas sekali bisa kamu yang antar makanan tiap hari." Aku tidak mengatakan apa-apa, hanya mengusap cincin itu dengan perlahan. Hubert tidak tahu, ini adalah cincin dengan permata paling murah dari sekian banyak permata yang pernah Leandro berikan padaku.

Putriku sakit parah dan membutuhkan sejumlah besar uang untuk pengobatan. Sementara itu, suamiku bukan hanya langsung menyerah dalam memberikan pengobatan, tetapi juga memulai hubungan asmara dengan teman masa kecilnya, Rachel Linata. Dalam keputusasaan, cinta pertamaku, Collin Luandra, mentransfer 10 miliar ke rekeningku dan menemaniku merawat putriku. Namun, putriku tetap tidak dapat terlepas dari cengkeraman maut. Enam tahun kemudian, Collin dan aku memiliki anak sendiri. Saat pergi ke rumah sakit untuk melakukan pemeriksaan kehamilan sendirian, aku mendengar percakapan Collin dengan dokter. "Pak Collin, kamu dan Bu Rhea juga sudah punya anak kalian sendiri sekarang. Gimana kalau apa yang terjadi waktu itu terungkap?" "Waktu itu, Rachel sakit parah. Aku mau nggak mau pakai sedikit trik supaya Rachel bisa terima transplantasi jantung dari anak itu. Lagian, Rhea sudah hamil lagi sekarang. Dia seharusnya nggak akan permasalahkan hal itu lagi." Saat ini, aku baru menyadari bahwa putriku sengaja didiagnosis secara salah. Collin telah diam-diam mentransplantasikan jantungnya kepada Rachel.

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.
