Toxic Relationship

Cinta pertama suamiku terkena gagal ginjal akut dan akulah satu-satunya orang yang cocok untuk menjadi donor. Demi menyelamatkan cinta pertamanya, suamiku memaksaku menggugurkan kandungan ketika kandunganku berusia enam bulan. Suamiku berkata dengan suara yang sangat lembut dan menusuk, "Bisakah kamu sedikit berbaik hati? Kamu cuma kehilangan seorang anak. Tapi, dia kehilangan hidupnya!" Aku berusaha menolak, tetapi suamiku mengancam akan bunuh diri. Aku dan anakku pun tidak selamat di meja operasi. Sementara cinta pertamanya berhasil menjalani transplantasi dan bertahan hidup. Segalanya berjalan seperti yang suamiku inginkan, tetapi setelah dia tahu bahwa aku sudah meninggal, dia pun menjadi gila.

Di hari acara pernikahan, tunanganku dan adik perempuanku, Laura Kusuma berhubungan seks di ruang istirahat dan tertangkap basah di tempat. Aku menjadi bahan tertawaan seisi ruangan. Dulu kekasih masa kecilku, Carlos Luke, malah melamarku di depan umum dan melindungiku dengan cara yang mencolok. Setelah menikah, dia sangat patuh kepadaku. Sayang sekali dia tidak bisa melakukannya dan kehidupan seks tidak berjalan lancar. Sampai tahun ini aku baru hamil setelah menjalani program bayi tabung. Setelah itu, dia semakin memperhatikanku. Aku pikir dialah takdirku. Sampai hari itu, aku mendengar percakapannya dengan temannya. “Carlos, kamu sungguh kejam, Nadya Kusuma begitu baik padamu, bagaimana bisa kamu mengganti sel telur dan membiarkan Nadya menjadi ibu pengganti hanya karena Laura takut sakit dan tidak berani melahirkan?” “Lagipula, anak itu akan lahir dua bulan lagi, lalu apa yang akan kamu lakukan?” Dia terdiam sejenak dan mendesah. “Ketika bayinya lahir, aku akan memberikannya kepada Laura dan memenuhi keinginannya.” “Sedangkan Nadya, aku akan memberitahunya bahwa bayinya sudah tiada.” “Aku akan menemaninya selama sisa hidupnya.” Ternyata begitu. Perhatian lembut yang kukira, semua hanya untuk adikku. Aku berbalik dan membuat janji untuk operasi. Anak kotor ini, aku tidak menginginkannya lagi. Pernikahan palsu ini, aku lebih tidak menginginkannya.

+++✦+++ She looked up at me with those soft, damn eyes. I stepped in closer, my hand lifting before I even thought it through, and I brushed the tips of my fingers against her cheek. Warm. Delicate. Curious. I watched her mouth part slightly, her lashes lowering just a bit. "Can I kiss you?" I heard myself say. It surprised me. I don’t ask. I take. But she wasn’t like anyone else. With her, I found myself wanting permission...wanting her to want me back. She blinked, caught off guard, but something in her softened. And after a breath, she slowly nodded. I leaned in, brushing my lips over hers in a gentle and slow motion, like I was trying to memorize her taste, savoring the moment. But, that one kiss was enough to set my nerves on edge. I pulled back slightly, watching the way her cheeks turned pink, her eyes wide, her lips still parted like she hadn’t expected it to feel like that. And fuck, I hadn’t either. I leaned in again, but paused when I realized she was leaning toward me too, unconsciously. She didn’t even realize she wanted more. And this time, I didn’t ask. +++✦+++ In a city plagued by crime and violence, a young woman fights to stay hidden from her sadistic stepfather and his ruthless gang.
