Ular Pura-pura Mati

Pernikahanku dengan ketua mafia, Lorenzo Corsica, selalu terhenti tepat sebelum langkah terakhir. Kami telah bertunangan selama lima tahun dan mengadakan upacara pernikahan sebanyak 32 kali, tetapi setiap kali selalu berakhir dengan kecelakaan di tengah jalan. Hingga upacara yang ke-33, saat prosesi baru berjalan setengah, dinding luar gereja tiba-tiba runtuh dan aku tertimpa hingga masuk ruang perawatan intensif. Tulang tengkorakku retak, aku mengalami gegar otak parah, dan telah menerima lebih dari sepuluh surat pemberitahuan kondisi kritis... Aku berjuang di ambang kematian selama dua bulan sebelum akhirnya berhasil bertahan hidup. Namun, pada hari aku keluar dari rumah sakit, tanpa sengaja aku mendengar percakapan antara Lorenzo dan orang kepercayaannya. "Tuan Muda, jika Anda benar-benar jatuh cinta pada gadis miskin itu, Anda bisa langsung membatalkan pertunangan dengan Nona Chiara. Kekuatan Keluarga Corsica cukup besar untuk membungkam segala gosip. Mengapa Anda harus berulang kali menciptakan kecelakaan seperti ini?" "Dia hampir saja mati." Suara orang kepercayaannya penuh ketidaksetujuan. Lorenzo terdiam lama sebelum akhirnya berkata, "Aku juga nggak punya pilihan... Sepuluh tahun lalu, Tuan dan Nyonya Moreto menyelamatkanku dengan nyawa mereka. Aku hanya bisa membalas budi melalui pertunangan." "Tapi aku mencintai Sophia. Selain dia, aku nggak ingin menikahi siapa pun." Aku menatap bekas luka yang memenuhi tubuhku dan menangis tanpa suara. Ternyata semua penderitaan yang kualami bukan karena nasib yang kejam, melainkan hasil perhitungan matang dari pria yang kucintai. Jika dia tidak sanggup membuat pilihan, aku yang akan mengakhiri semua ini untuknya.

Pacarku, Bima Arya, divonis menderita kanker dan membutuhkan transplantasi hati. Begitu tahu aku cocok jadi donor, tanpa ragu aku langsung memutuskan untuk menjalani operasi. Dua per tiga hatiku diangkat, rasa sakitnya luar biasa. Namun, saat sadar, hal pertama yang kulakukan adalah memeriksa keadaannya. Di depan kamarnya, aku mendengar dia berbicara dengan temannya. "Kak Bima, kamu benar-benar genius. Bisa-bisanya kepikiran cara balas dendam sehebat ini." Bima tertawa kecil. "Kalau saja aku nggak mau buat masalah besar, sebenarnya aku ingin ambil ginjalnya buat main-main." "Semua ini gara-gara Nimas, Vivi jadi gagal ujian masuk universitas dan harus kuliah di luar negeri. Sebulan lagi Vivi akan pulang ke dalam negeri dan saat itulah aku akan sepenuhnya putus dari Nimas."

“Nona Liana Tandra, kami telah menyiapkan mayat yang persis sepertimu sesuai permintaan Anda. Sepuluh hari kemudian, kami akan mengirimkannya ke pernikahanmu dengan Tuan Hansen Gunadi.” Setelah mendengar jawaban dari staf di telepon, ketegangan Liana selama berhari-hari akhirnya sedikit mereda. “Baik, terima kasih.” “Sama-sama, ini memang pekerjaan kami. Anda tidak perlu khawatir, tidak akan ada yang curiga dengan mayat ini.” Setelah mendapatkan jaminan, Liana menghela napas lega. Kemudian dia memastikan lagi rincian pengiriman mayat dengan staf, dan menutup telepon lalu masuk ke dalam ruangan VIP. Ruangan VIP yang awalnya berisik, seketika semua orang terdiam saat melihatnya masuk.
