When Two Mad Souls Meet

My son, Jasper Cole, won the gold prize in an art competition. When I took off my apron and rushed to the award ceremony, I found that the painting titled 'Mother' was not of me but Maeve Leighton, my husband's secretary. Maeve pretended to be troubled as she told my son, "Your mom will be sad when she sees this painting." However, Jasper was unperturbed. "What does her sadness have to do with me? She's an ordinary-looking and incompetent housewife, always nagging me about what I can and can’t do. She's too strict with me. It's annoying! Maeve, I wish you were my mother. My dad doesn't like my mom at all. He's only happy when he's with you. He's only with my mom because he feels obligated." My heart broke at that moment. Since he no longer wanted me as his mother, it was pointless for me to stay. I called my dad. "Dad, I want to go home. Can you pick me up?" My dad could not believe it. He answered after a long pause, "Of course. I'll come pick up my brilliant daughter in three days."

On my birthday, one of my husband’s subordinates leaned close to him and whispered in Russian, “Sasha has a surprise prepared for you tonight.” My husband smiled at me as he finished cutting my cake. Then, in the same language, he replied, “She has quite a few tricks in bed. I’ll see her later. “Just don’t let Madam find out, or I’m afraid I’ll get thrown out.” Everyone around laughed and assured keep it quiet. None of them knew that I’d been fluent in multiple languages since I was a child. What they also didn’t know was that I’d found the hidden phone he kept in the false drawer, where all the filthy videos of him and Sasha were saved. I didn’t confront him. Instead, I contacted a few remaining connections in the Vegas and had them prepare a new identity for me. In three days, Claire Vega would no longer exist, and he would never have me again.

Berbeda dari gadis kebanyakan, dia terbilang unik. Hidupnya tidak ada kata repot. Apa yang ingin dia lakukan, akan dilakukan. Apa yang tidak, tentu tidak akan dilakukan. Disaat teman seusianya sibuk mempercantik diri dengan berbagai brand dan merek skincare, dia tidak. Dia lebih memilih mengoleksi berbagai macam makanan dan cemilan untuk perut rampingnya. Iya, sekalipun ia memiliki porsi makan yang cukup banyak dan berbagai cemilan yang selalu dia stok, tubuhnya tidak gemuk, bahkan cenderung kurus. "Ehe... Makan aja banyak, badan kering kerontang!" begitulah ungkapan yang sering dia dengar dari teman-temannya. Tapi dia tidak pernah ambil pusing, dia justru bangga dan akan menjawab "Banyak yang mau jadi aku, makan banyak tapi badan tetap kurus". Bukan hanya banyak makan tapi tubuh kurus yang menjadi karakteristiknya, kulitnya yang gelap cenderung coklat juga sering menjadi bahan ledekan teman-temannya. "Minum susu putih, biar putihan dikit kau", "Suntik putih dulu kau, biar gak hitam". Saat pernyataan-pernyataan seperti itu dia dengar, dia hanya diam. Sesekali mungkin dia akan menanggapi dengan nada sedikit bercanda "Kalian buta ya, kulitku ini coklat muda. Hitam dari mana coba?" Meski dalam hati, tentu dia merasa tidak percaya diri. Standar kecantikan 'memiliki kulit putih' membuatnya merasa tidak cantik. Tapi sebenarnya dia manis, hm.. tidak-tidak, kata manis bukan penghibur untuk mereka yang memiliki kulit dengan tona gelap. Dia benar-benar manis, di mata orang yang tepat. Dan lagi, bukan dia tidak berusaha untuk memiliki kulit yang cerah, bahkan mencoba cara instan dia pun pernah.

Love is undefined, unbound by rules. It is something that no person could actually give meaning to until he finds that one human being who gives him the exact definition of it. But is love enough to keep two people together? Or is it just another ideology that somehow got wired into everyone's brain? Or maybe people who are in love are simply blind enough to see the reality and would rather continue living in that paradise dream?
