Chapter 1
Di sebuah kafe di tengah keramaian ibu kota, Maggie Miller duduk untuk melihat dengan jelas pria yang ia temui untuk kencan buta, dan ia sedikit terkejut.
Pria itu tampak sangat tampan—lebih dari yang ia bayangkan!
Fitur wajahnya sangat terukir dengan sempurna, dan ia memancarkan aura keanggunan yang seolah datang secara alami padanya.
Ini adalah kencan buta Maggie yang kesepuluh dalam hampir tiga bulan.
Tak bisa dihindari, ia harus hadir, atau ibunya akan mengancam untuk mogok makan atau lebih parah lagi.
Pria yang saat ini ia temui jauh mengungguli pria-pria sebelumnya, terutama dalam hal penampilan.
Setelah berusaha mencari pasangan hidup sebanyak ini, Maggie tidak lagi malu-malu. Ia langsung ke pokok permasalahan, "Kapan kamu berencana menikah?"
Sebelum tiba, Maggie sudah memutuskan bahwa selama pria itu tidak sepenuhnya mengecewakan, ia akan melewati proses pacaran dan langsung menuju pernikahan.
Bukankah tujuan kencan adalah untuk menemukan pasangan hidup?
Ancaman ibunya yang terus-menerus untuk menyakiti diri sendiri hanya bisa diredakan jika Maggie akhirnya menetap.
Pria itu terkejut sejenak, lalu tertawa, "Nona, ini pertemuan pertama kita, bukankah kamu terlalu terburu-buru?"
Senyumnya sangat menawan, seperti sinar matahari hangat di bulan Maret, dan Maggie, yang sangat terpengaruh oleh penampilan, hampir terjatuh ke wilayah fangirl.
Maggie mengumpulkan ketenangannya dan berkata, "Oh, benar, hampir lupa memperkenalkan diri. Saya Maggie Miller. Agen kencan pasti sudah memberitahumu tentang saya. Saya dua puluh lima tahun, pekerja lepas yang menjalankan kios perhiasan kecil di pasar malam. Penghasilan saya sekitar enam ribu, hanya saya dan ibu di rumah, saling bergantung satu sama lain. Saya pernah menjalin hubungan sebelumnya tapi saat ini lajang, sehat, dan tidak punya kebiasaan buruk."
Setelah jeda singkat, Maggie menambahkan dengan penekanan, "Dan saya siap menikah kapan saja."
Maggie hampir dipaksa oleh ibunya untuk pergi ke kencan buta ini, dan pria yang duduk di depannya ditemukan oleh ibunya melalui layanan kencan online.
Ia mengharapkan lagi-lagi bertemu dengan orang aneh dengan penampilan tidak menyenangkan atau perbedaan usia yang besar, perut buncit, dan nilai-nilai yang tidak cocok—tipe yang terlalu umum di situs kencan.
Bertentangan dengan harapan ini, jarang sekali bertemu seseorang yang benar-benar tampak layak.
Setelah Maggie selesai dengan penjelasan singkatnya, pria itu tampaknya memahami situasinya.
Ia tersenyum sedikit, suaranya halus seperti sutra, "Jadi, bagaimana situs kencan menggambarkan saya padamu? Apakah kamu tidak khawatir bertemu dengan penipu?"
"Pernikahan adalah perjudian besar," jawab Maggie, mengerucutkan bibirnya. "Ini adalah upaya kesepuluh saya dalam pencarian jodoh. Mereka bilang kamu bekerja untuk perusahaan publik, Visionary Futures Group, berasal dari sekitar sini, yatim piatu, rendah hati, pekerja keras, dan sedang buru-buru mencari pasangan—nama belakangmu... Florez..."
Begitu nama Florez disebutkan, pikiran Maggie sudah melayang ke tempat lain.
Saat dia meninggalkan rumahnya tadi, ibunya mencoba memberi tahu detail tentang kencan butanya, tapi Maggie tidak benar-benar mendengarkan.
"Fiorello Flores," kata pria itu dengan senyum hangat, "lahir dan besar di ibu kota, tidak punya rumah tapi punya mobil, menyewa apartemen, mengendarai Chevrolet sederhana seharga sedikit lebih dari dua puluh ribu, pendapatan stabil, saat ini lajang, tidak ada kecanduan, dan dalam keadaan sehat."
Maggie Miller menunjukkan kartu identitasnya, menatap Fiorello, dan berkata, "Pak Flores, maukah Anda pergi ke kantor catatan sipil dengan saya sekarang untuk mendapatkan akta nikah? Saya bisa menghidupi diri sendiri, saya tidak akan menghabiskan uang Anda, kita bisa berbagi biaya, dan tidak perlu upacara pernikahan—kita buat sederhana saja dan ambil akta nikahnya."
Bagaimanapun, apa yang lebih praktis daripada berbagi hidup bersama? Ini hanya untuk menenangkan ibunya awalnya. Untuk segala hal lainnya, mereka akan melangkah satu per satu. Jika mereka benar-benar cocok, maka mereka akan terus bersama.
Banyak teman Maggie Miller yang menikah melalui kencan buta, dan sebagian besar dari mereka hidup sangat baik.
Kesederhanaan, menurutnya, adalah inti dari kebahagiaan sejati.
Fiorello mengetuk-ngetukkan jarinya tanpa sadar di punggung tangannya, merenungkan usulannya.
Wanita ini datang ke kencan buta dengan kartu identitasnya, begitu bersemangat untuk menikah?
Dia sudah tiga puluh dan tekanan dari keluarganya untuk menetap sangat besar.
"Apakah Anda keberatan kalau saya tidak punya rumah? Dengan saya, hidup mungkin akan sedikit sulit," tanya Fiorello.
"Saya juga tidak punya rumah," kata Maggie dengan percaya diri. "Tanpa dukungan orang tua, jarang ada yang bisa membeli rumah di usia tiga puluh. Saya mengerti itu. Selama Anda baik dan rajin, semuanya akan berjalan lancar."
Maggie sangat tahu tentang harga properti yang tinggi di ibu kota. Sebagai warga biasa tanpa banyak dukungan atau kecerdasan besar, dia tidak punya hak untuk menuntut rumah dari orang lain.
Maggie terus menatap Fiorello dan setelah sekitar lima belas detik, dia melihatnya mengeluarkan ponsel dan menelepon, "Bisakah Anda tolong bawa kartu identitas saya ke kantor catatan sipil?"
...
Satu jam kemudian.
Maggie dan Fiorello keluar dari kantor catatan sipil, memegang akta nikah. Baru saat itu Maggie menyadari betapa impulsifnya dia.
Dia benar-benar menikahi pria yang baru dia temui sekali.
Fiorello menangkap tatapan di matanya dan bibirnya melengkung sedikit, "Jika Anda ragu, belum terlambat untuk mundur sekarang."
Maggie menyelipkan akta nikah dan menatapnya, menggelengkan kepala dengan tegas, "Tidak ada penyesalan, Pak Flores. Anda mungkin punya pekerjaan, dan saya perlu menyiapkan kios saya, jadi saya harus pergi."
Mereka baru saja mendapatkan akta nikah, dan sekarang mereka berpisah?
Apakah wanita ini benar-benar berpikir dia hanya mengambil selembar kertas?
Mengambil akta lalu kembali ke kehidupan masing-masing?
