Chapter 1

Nora Foster menatap kosong pada surat pemberitahuan penyakit kritis yang tipis itu.

Dia menderita kanker lambung stadium akhir dan hanya punya waktu tiga bulan lagi untuk hidup.

Kertas putih itu seperti surat kematian, menusuk matanya dengan rasa sakit.

Teleponnya bergetar; itu pesan dari selingkuhan suaminya.

[Isaac sedang bersama saya, dan dia sangat liar tadi.] Foto yang terlampir menunjukkan pundak pria yang telanjang. Meskipun wajahnya tidak terlihat, Nora melihat tahi lalat merah di pundak itu dan tahu itu adalah Isaac Porter.

[Nora, bersikaplah bijaksana dan ceraikan dia, ya?]

[Dengan wanita kotor seperti kamu di sekitar Isaac, dia tidak akan pernah bahagia!]

[Kamu sudah menikah dengan Isaac selama bertahun-tahun, tapi apakah dia pernah menyentuhmu? Kamu tidak tahu betapa bergairahnya dia di tubuhku; dia tidak bisa berpisah dariku.]

Telepon terus bergetar, dengan satu pesan setelah pesan lainnya muncul.

Setiap kata seperti pisau yang mengirisnya. Tubuh Nora bergetar tak terkendali.

Dia menarik napas dalam-dalam dan menekan nomor Isaac. "Kita cerai."

Sudah waktunya untuk melepaskan, dari ketidakmauan tiga tahun lalu hingga penerimaan sekarang.

Dalam tiga bulan terakhir hidupnya, dia akan melepaskan Isaac dan membebaskan dirinya sendiri juga.

Ada beberapa detik keheningan di ujung telepon.

Isaac mendengus dengan acuh tak acuh, "Apa lagi yang kamu rencanakan sekarang? Nora, kamu sedang bermain tarik ulur?"

Mungkin terprovokasi oleh selingkuhannya, Nora berusaha keras menahan isak tangis dalam suaranya. "Malam ini, temani aku." Suaranya selembut angin, tapi penuh kesedihan.

Namun, suara Isaac tidak sabar. "Untuk apa aku menemanimu?"

Hatinya bergetar saat dia berkata, "Tidurlah denganku, dan kita bisa menjadi pasangan sungguhan. Lalu, kita bisa berpisah dengan baik-baik."

Detik berikutnya, Isaac mencibir, "Kamu pantas? Kamu bosan di rumah dan ingin pergi mencari mantan kekasihmu?"

Nora tahu siapa yang dimaksud Isaac; mereka sampai di titik ini karena kecelakaan empat tahun lalu.

Dia ingin menjelaskan, tapi kata-katanya terjebak di tenggorokan. Apa gunanya mengatakan apa pun?

Dia tidak akan pernah percaya padanya. Dalam tiga bulan terakhir hidupnya, tidak ada gunanya mati-matian menjelaskan kesalahpahaman masa lalu.

Nora berteriak, "Aku tidak ingin harta milikmu dalam perceraian ini, hanya datanglah dan temani aku."

Sekitar jam enam sore, Nora menyelesaikan semua tugasnya di pameran seni.

Berpikir bahwa Isaac pulang kerja jam lima, Nora buru-buru pulang, takut dia sudah menunggu terlalu lama.

Saat Nora sampai di rumah, pintunya sedikit terbuka.

Dia dengan lembut mendorongnya; rumah itu gelap dan kosong.

Dia meraba-raba untuk menyalakan lampu, dan pemandangan di ruang tamu membuat hatinya tenggelam. Tidak ada tanda-tanda Isaac di ruang yang rapi dan teratur itu.

Dia mengambil teleponnya dan menekan nomor Isaac, hanya untuk mendengar suara mabuk yang tidak sabar. "Ada apa?"

Nora menahan emosinya dan bertanya, "Kamu di mana?"

"Ada hubungannya denganmu?" Suara Isaac dingin dan tidak jelas, terdengar mabuk.

"Apakah kamu tidak berjanji untuk pulang dan menemani aku? Di malam terakhir kita, kamu masih bersama Kalista. Apakah kamu tidak takut aku akan mencari pria lain..." Dia terpotong sebelum bisa menyelesaikan kalimatnya. "Nora, surat cerai ada di ruang kerja. Aku sudah menandatanganinya tiga tahun lalu. Tinggal tanda tangani, dan kamu bisa mencari pria mana pun yang kamu mau untuk bercinta," kata Isaac dengan santai.

Dengan itu, panggilan itu diputus dengan kasar.

Nora tersenyum pahit dan meletakkan telepon, sudah terbiasa dengan dinginnya. Dia perlahan berjalan ke ruang kerja, gemetar saat mengambil surat cerai. Kata-kata dingin dan keras di kertas itu menusuk matanya.

Pada saat itu, sebuah pesan muncul di teleponnya.

Nora berpikir Isaac telah berubah pikiran dan dengan bersemangat mengambil telepon, tetapi wajahnya memucat saat melihatnya.

Itu adalah video pendek seorang wanita yang terengah-engah lemah, bersandar pada dada pria yang lebar; kamera menghadap ke pundak pria dengan tahi lalat merah.

"Isaac, kamu terlalu kasar; pelan-pelan." Wanita itu berkata dengan nada manis.

"Atau aku tidak berusaha cukup keras, sehingga kamu masih punya waktu untuk bermain dengan ponselmu." Pria itu menjawab.

"Kasihanilah aku, Isaac."

Suara menggoda dan ambigu dari pria dan wanita itu terus berlanjut, dan hati Nora semakin dingin.

Telepon terus berdering, dengan video baru yang masuk.

Nora tidak ingin membukanya, tetapi dia menonton semua video seperti seorang masokis.

Dia tidak percaya pria dalam video itu adalah Isaac, tetapi suara yang familiar dan tahi lalat di bahu pria itu menunjukkan bahwa pria itu memang Isaac.

Dia selalu tahu bahwa Isaac dan Kalista Garcia adalah kekasih dan mereka akan berciuman dan bercinta, tetapi melihatnya dengan mata kepala sendiri, dia masih tidak bisa menerimanya.

Akhirnya, Kalista mengirim pesan teks. [Nora, kamu masih menunggu Isaac? Dia lelah dan tidak akan kembali.]

Ketika telepon akhirnya berhenti berdering, Nora terjatuh lemah ke lantai dingin.

Benar saja, Isaac tidak kembali sepanjang malam. Dia sedang bercinta dengan kekasihnya, melupakan istri yang menunggunya di rumah pada malam terakhir mereka.

Nora tersenyum pahit, saat dia hendak menopang kakinya yang mati rasa untuk berdiri, terdengar langkah kaki di luar pintu. Apakah dia akhirnya kembali setelah malam yang liar? Dia mengangkat kepalanya, pandangannya kosong dan ekspresinya lelah. Kemudian dia melihat Isaac dengan tubuh tinggi mendekat, mengeluarkan aroma alkohol. Kerah mantelnya sedikit berantakan, ada noda lipstik.

Pandangan Nora tertuju pada noda lipstik yang mencolok itu, matanya terasa perih. Apakah ini cara Kalista untuk pamer? Dan Isaac, yang selalu bersih, ternyata membiarkan Kalista melakukan ini.

"Kenapa kamu belum pergi?" Melihatnya, Isaac mengerutkan kening, nadanya tidak sabar.

Nora tersenyum pahit, suaranya penuh kemarahan. "Isaac, kamu berjanji akan kembali malam ini tapi kamu ingkar janji!"

Isaac mengejek, "Lalu kenapa? Nora, empat tahun yang lalu, kamu mengkhianatiku, karena kamu tidur dengan sahabatku. Kamulah yang pertama kali mengkhianati pernikahan kita."

Tubuh Nora gemetar, wajahnya pucat. "Aku tidak! Waktu itu..."

Mata Isaac menggelap. "Kamu masih menyangkal? Tidak hanya aku melihatnya dengan mata kepala sendiri, tetapi banyak orang lain juga. Apakah aku salah?"

Hatinya terasa seperti disayat pisau, sakitnya tak tertahankan. "Tapi..."

Isaac mencibir. "Tapi apa?"

Nora berkata, "Tidak ada."

Tangannya gemetar saat dia menandatangani surat cerai.

Dia meletakkan pena dengan berat, sisa harapan terakhir di hatinya benar-benar hancur. "Isaac, seperti yang kamu inginkan, malam ini aku akan mencari pria lain!"

Melihat surat cerai yang sudah ditandatangani, jantung Isaac berdegup kencang, matanya menggelap. "Terserah."

Sikap acuh tak acuhnya membuat Nora marah. Dia meraih tasnya dan keluar dengan keras, membanting pintu di belakangnya.

Dia mengambil teleponnya dan mengirim pesan kepada sahabatnya, Sophia Price.

Nora: [Sophia, carikan aku gigolo, sekarang juga!]

Sophia bertanya dengan marah: [Apa yang terjadi? Apakah Isaac pergi ke dia lagi?]

Nora memaksa tersenyum pahit dan menjawab: [Aku sudah menandatangani surat cerai.]

Sophia menutup mulutnya terkejut dan menjawab: [Kamu benar-benar bercerai?]

Nora: [Iya. Bisa carikan aku gigolo malam ini? Hanya sekali ini saja.]

Sophia: [Kamu yakin? Baiklah, aku akan carikan yang bagus.]

Lampu neon berkedip di jalan saat Nora masuk ke bar, musik dan lampu yang kacau menghantamnya.

Pria dan wanita tertawa dan mengobrol di kerumunan, udara dipenuhi bau alkohol dan parfum.

Sophia sudah menunggu di bar. Setelah Nora dan Sophia minum beberapa gelas, Sophia menyerahkan kunci kamar. "Di atas, cepat pergi; kalau tidak kamu akan segera mabuk."

Namun, Nora mengambil pil untuk meningkatkan hasratnya dari tas dan menelannya.

"Apa yang kamu lakukan?" Sophia terkejut.

"Aku takut tidak bisa melakukannya, bahwa aku masih merindukan Isaac dan menyesal di saat terakhir." Nora tersenyum, "Aku harus membakar jembatan."

Dia pergi ke kamar terlebih dahulu, dan begitu masuk, dia terjatuh di tempat tidur, mabuknya menguasai dirinya.

Sepuluh menit kemudian, seorang gigolo yang berpakaian stylish mendekati kamar, tetapi saat dia hendak masuk, dia dipukul hingga jatuh.

Suara kasar terdengar, "Pergi!"

Gigolo itu gemetar ketakutan saat dia melihat ke atas dan melihat Isaac yang tampan dan sangat berwibawa, pandangannya menakutkan.

I don't want to give up something that might be really, really good, but I also don't want to be stupid and fall for a boy just because he's super pretty and makes me come."
