James Smith
Chapter 1
Di bagian rawat jalan Rumah Sakit Lindwood City, seorang dokter wanita tinggi dan berwajah dingin berjalan lewat, langsung memicu diskusi sengit di antara beberapa dokter muda pria di belakangnya.
Seseorang berkomentar, "Dokter Johnson cantik banget, ya ampun! Gimana bisa ada wanita sesempurna itu di dunia ini? Kalau aku bisa menikahi Dokter Johnson, rasanya rela deh kehilangan dua puluh tahun hidupku!"
Seseorang mencemooh, "Mimpi kali, lu. Bahkan kalau lu kehilangan lima puluh tahun hidup lu, tetap aja nggak bakal giliran lu. Coba liat aja kualifikasi Dokter Johnson, lulusan terbaik dari Universitas Kedokteran Selatan dengan keterampilan medis yang luar biasa.
"Dia gajinya ratusan juta rupiah setahun. Dia nggak cuma cantik tapi juga hebat. Yang ngejar dia bisa antri sampai ke Rusia."
Yang lain menambahkan, "Kenapa nggak bilang aja bisa antri sampai Inggris?"
Seseorang menyarankan, "Eh, stop ngomong deh. James Smith datang."
Mereka melihat seorang pria dengan pakaian kumal, bajunya sudah pudar jadi warna kuning, mendekat dengan diam-diam.
Salah satu dokter pria berkomentar, "Yah, apa yang ditakuti? Semua orang di rumah sakit ini tahu kalau James Smith itu raja diselingkuhi. Ingat waktu Pak Romero terang-terangan kasih bunga ke Dokter Johnson di depannya? Dia nggak berkedip sama sekali."
Yang lain menambahkan, "Iya, kalau aku jadi James Smith, mending langsung mati aja. Dia tetap tenang meski ada pria lain terang-terangan mengagumi istrinya sendiri.
"Benar-benar membingungkan. Gimana Jennifer Johnson bisa menikah dengan pria seperti itu; menikahi anjing aja lebih baik daripada menikah dengan James Smith."
Seseorang menasihati, "Jangan ngomong keras-keras. Nanti James Smith dengar dan ngejar kamu."
Dokter yang lain mencibir, "Ngejar aku? Mana mungkin? Kalau dia berani ngejar aku, aku traktir kalian semua makan di Emperor Club malam ini."
James Smith mendekat, pendengarannya cukup tajam untuk menangkap kata-kata mereka, tapi dia tidak merasakan apa-apa, karena dia sudah kebal dengan pembicaraan seperti itu.
Selama lima tahun terakhir, dia menjalani hampir kehidupan yang sama setiap hari.
Dia melirik ke arah Jennifer yang semakin menjauh dan menghela napas tanpa suara. Meskipun dia dan Jennifer adalah suami istri, mereka tidak pernah menjalani kehidupan pernikahan yang normal.
Sebagai menantu yang menikah masuk ke dalam keluarga, Jennifer Johnson tidak pernah memandangnya langsung sejak hari pertama pernikahan mereka. Sikapnya terhadapnya semakin lama semakin bermusuhan, terutama sejak tahun lalu.
Memang, di mata semua orang, James Smith sama sekali tidak pantas untuk Jennifer Johnson, bahkan tidak layak untuk memegang sepatunya.
Hanya James Smith yang tahu bahwa dia akan mengakhiri kehidupan seperti ini.
Dia berasal dari keluarga tersembunyi terbesar di negara ini, sangat kaya dan bergengsi, memiliki keterampilan medis yang tak tertandingi, dan jauh lebih unggul daripada dokter-dokter di Rumah Sakit Lindwood City.
Karena beberapa peraturan aneh dalam keluarganya, dia diharuskan menjadi menantu keluarga Johnson selama lima tahun. Selain itu, dia harus mengalah saat menghadapi perkelahian fisik dan pelecehan verbal.
Hanya setelah menyelesaikan ketentuan ini, dia bisa kembali ke perkebunan keluarganya dan mengambil alih warisan keluarga, suatu ketentuan yang konon dirancang untuk memperbaiki karakternya.
Dia tidak bisa memahami bagaimana keluarganya merancang aturan yang begitu konyol, yang membuatnya harus bertahan selama bertahun-tahun, menjalani kehidupan yang lebih buruk daripada anjing.
Tapi untungnya, dia akan segera mendapatkan kebebasannya!
Merasa energi yang mengalir dalam dirinya, James Smith merasa kewalahan oleh perasaan kegembiraan yang hampir tidak bisa dia tahan.
"Tunggu saja, aku akan membuat kalian semua tercengang!" dia berseru dalam hati.
Khususnya ditujukan kepada istrinya, Jennifer Johnson, dia sangat menantikan saat ketika dia menyadari kemampuan sebenarnya, bersemangat untuk melihat ekspresinya saat mengetahui bahwa dia bukanlah individu yang kurang seperti yang dia kira.
Setelah bekerja, James mengambil makanan favorit Jennifer dari kantin dan membawanya ke kantor Jennifer, yang merupakan hal terpenting baginya di Rumah Sakit Lindwood City.
Namun, saat ia mendekati kantor, ia melihat beberapa perawat dari rumah sakit yang sedang menguping di luar, tampak sangat bergosip. Ketika mereka melihat James datang, mereka segera bubar, memberikan tatapan penuh belas kasihan.
"James, mungkin kamu sebaiknya tidak masuk," seorang perawat menasihatinya dan menghentikannya.
"Mengapa?" James merasa bingung.
Pada saat itu, ia mendengar suara pria yang penuh kasih sayang dari dalam kantor, berkata, "Jennifer, aku benar-benar mencintaimu. Kamu luar biasa. Kenapa harus tetap bersama pria yang tidak berguna itu? Dia tidak bisa memberimu kebahagiaan! Ceraikan dia dan menikahlah denganku. Jennifer, aku sungguh mencintaimu."
Suara itu tidak rendah, dan meskipun mereka terpisah oleh pintu kantor, banyak orang mendengarnya. Mereka semua berbalik menatap James, menunjukkan simpati, belas kasihan, dan lebih banyak lagi, schadenfreude dan penghinaan.
Mulut James Smith bergetar beberapa kali. Tidak ada pria yang bisa tetap tenang ketika mendengar pria lain mengakui cintanya kepada istrinya dengan cara seperti itu. Bahkan James Smith pun tidak bisa melakukannya.
Amarah memuncak dari kakinya hingga ke kepalanya, dan dia mendorong perawat itu, melangkah menuju kantor.
Namun, kaki kanannya tergelincir dengan canggung, terlihat lebih kikuk daripada heroik, bahkan menyedihkan.
Begitu tiba, pintu kantor terbuka, mengungkapkan sosok yang mencolok—Jennifer. Melihat James, sekilas rasa bersalah melintas di wajahnya, dengan cepat menghilang saat dia mengadopsi ekspresi tegas dan berkata, "Kamu pikir kamu memberi sikap itu kepada siapa?"
Melihat Jennifer, kemarahan James langsung reda. Pada saat itu, sosok lain muncul dari kantor. Pria itu memohon, "Jennifer, tolong izinkan aku menjelaskan. Aku..."
Melihat James, pria itu berhenti dan menatapnya dengan provokatif, dan mengejek, "Oh, bukankah ini James Smith? Sudah selesai membersihkan toilet?"
Beberapa waktu lalu, ketika toilet tersumbat dan petugas kebersihan tidak ada, James turun tangan untuk membersihkannya. Apa yang dimulai sebagai tindakan baik di pihaknya kini berubah menjadi sumber ejekan oleh John dan lainnya.
Tawa segera meledak dari beberapa penonton.
James mengabaikan John dan hanya memandang Jennifer. Dia mengangkat kotak makanan di tangannya dan berkata, "Aku sudah membungkus makanannya. Nikmati selagi masih hangat."
John melangkah maju, menghalangi James, dan berkata kepada Jennifer, "Jennifer, tidak ada yang istimewa dari makanan di kantin. Biar aku bawa kamu ke restoran romantis saja; suasananya sangat romantis."
Dia menekankan kata "romantis" dan melirik James Smith dengan provokatif, sengaja mencoba memprovokasinya.
Semua orang tahu bahwa James adalah suami Jennifer, namun John berani mengatakan hal seperti itu, menunjukkan ketidakpedulian total kepada James.
James terus mengabaikan John, seolah tidak mendengar kata-katanya, saat dia menatap Jennifer dengan harapan, berharap dia akan tinggal dan menikmati makanan yang dia bawa.
Melihat sikapnya, Jennifer diliputi amarah. Dia dengan marah menepis wadah makanan dari tangannya, berteriak, "Kamu benar-benar tidak berguna!"
Meskipun Jennifer selalu bersikap dingin padanya sejak mereka menikah, dia tidak pernah sebelumnya menghina dia sebagai "tidak berguna" di depan orang lain. Ini adalah yang pertama, menyebabkan tubuhnya langsung kaku sebagai respons.
Di sampingnya, John tidak bisa menahan kegembiraannya. Meskipun berusaha, senyumnya gagal menyembunyikan kebahagiaannya. Memanfaatkan kesempatan itu, dia mencoba meraih tangan Jennifer, memanfaatkan situasi.
Tiba-tiba, serangkaian langkah kaki terburu-buru mendekat, disertai teriakan panik, "Oh tidak, ada sesuatu yang besar terjadi!"
