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?"

By accident, I stumbled upon my husband's secret. There were cameras covering every corner of our house, but I stayed silent and pretended not to know about them. One day, I faked leaving home and hid in the closet, only to hear my husband fooling around with his mistress. Jared's breath was short from exertion. "Faster. We have less than 20 minutes before Vanessa gets back." His mistress giggled. "Relax. Her eyesight is terrible." Jared growled. "Shut up! Vanessa is my wife. Say another thing about her, and I'll throw you out!" What he didn't know was that my eyesight had been cured. My vision was as sharp as anyone else's. I stepped out of the closet with a choked sob and called my brother. "I'll go to Murica."
