Di malam pengantin, istriku bersikeras agar aku mengenakan penutup mata, karena tubuhnya hanya untuk orang yang dia sebut cinta sejati. Hatiku langsung hancur seketika, aku pun bertanya dengan suara tajam, "Kamu ini istriku atau istrinya?!" Istriku membalas dengan suara lebih keras. "Aku memang menikahimu. Tapi apakah itu berarti aku harus memperlihatkan tubuhku padamu? Paksaan dalam pernikahan tetaplah paksaan. Aku hanya akan menunjukkan tubuhku pada Charli, karena kamu sama sekali nggak pantas." Setelah itu, saat dia berkata ingin menjadi istriku, aku malah merasa dia tidak pantas lagi.

Suamiku bertanya apakah bra tanpa kawat itu lebih nyaman? Aku hanya tertawa dan mengira akhirnya dia peka. Keesokan harinya, dengan wajah panik, asisten mengambil paket yang baru saja kuambil, sambil berkata kalau alamatnya salah. Malamnya, aku melihat postingan Susan Kumala di media sosial, dengan keterangan, "Hadiah dari pacarku, bagus nggak?" Foto itu adalah selfie di kamar hotel dengan suasana yang cukup romantis dan ada kotak lingerie cantik berhias pita di sebelahnya. Ternyata, pria itu bukan tidak mengerti romantis, melainkan apakah dia bersedia melakukannya untukmu. Aku menekan tombol suka di postingannya, lalu mengirim tangkapan layar itu ke suamiku. "Kalau beli satu set bisa diskon 20%, kamu memang nggak pandai menghemat."

Ada yang menyatakan perasaannya kepadaku di laman web pengakuan kampus, tetapi pacar teman sekamarku malah mengomentari unggahan itu dengan pernyataan bahwa aku sudah pernah tidur dengan semua siswa di kampus. Saking marahnya, aku langsung lapor polisi. Teman sekamarku pun memohon kepadaku untuk memaafkan pacarnya. Dia bahkan bilang akan meminta pacarnya untuk mengunggah permintaan maaf di laman web kampus. Belum sempat permintaan maaf itu kuterima, sebuah video tidak senonoh keburu tersebar di kalangan siswa. Semua orang mengatakan bahwa akulah sosok perempuan dalam video itu. Aku pun diinterogasi pihak kampus dan akhirnya diminta untuk cuti. Saat aku pulang, orangtuaku menolak mengakuiku sebagai putri mereka. Kehilangan segalanya membuatku begitu putus asa dan depresi hingga akhirnya aku memutuskan untuk bunuh diri. Namun, saat mataku terbuka lagi, aku kembali pada hari di mana pengakuan perasaan itu terpajang di laman web.

Dua tahun lalu, ibuku memaksa aku untuk berpisah dengan pacarku dan menggantikan adikku menikah dengan tunangannya yang buta. Dua tahun kemudian, suamiku yang buta tiba-tiba mendapatkan kembali penglihatannya, dan ibuku meminta aku untuk mengembalikannya ke adikku. Ayahku menatapku dengan marah. "Indah, jangan lupa bahwa Rendra sebenarnya adalah tunangan Mella, apa kamu pantas menjadi Nyonya Saputra?" Siapa juga yang mau menjadi Nyonya Saputra. Toh, aku juga akan mati. Silakan saja. Aku akan menyaksikan mereka satu per satu menerima pembalasan setelah aku mati.

Di ranjang rumah perawatan pasca melahirkan. Tangan kasar perawat pria menyusuri kulitku sedikit demi sedikit, membuat tubuhku merinding. Terutama saat melewati area sensitif, dia sengaja menekan lebih keras hingga aku tak bisa menahan suara desahan. "Bu, pelankan suaramu. Suamimu masih di kamar sebelah." Perawat itu mengingatkan dengan nada seolah-olah peduli, tetapi jemarinya malah bergerak dengan semakin tak terkendali. "Nggak ... ini nggak benar ...." Aku menahan gemetar di tubuhku dan mencoba mendorong lengannya yang kekar. "Bu, pijatan sedalam ini yang bisa meredakan gejalamu, jangan bergerak!"
