LOGINMy name is Themis and I am not supposed to be alive. I survived the hunt, saddled with a husband and still I have to waddle my way through so many things to remain alive at the end of the day. The one person I can count on other than myself is my new husband who saved my life from the get go. And my gift of prophecy. Maybe, just maybe, it is also enough to save the Dar Empire too. My name is Themis and this is my story.
View More“Aku tidak peduli,” ketus wanita itu, tanpa mengalihkan pandangannya dari layar handphone.
“Dia hamil anakku,” ucap lelaki itu lagi.
“Mau dia hamil anakmu, atau hamil anak setan, aku tetap tidak peduli!”
“Dia akan tinggal di rumah kita.”
Wanita itu menolehkan kepalanya sebentar, menatap sang suami yang masih berdiri di sampingnya.
“Dia harus siap menjadi pembantu,” balasnya seraya tersenyum miring, membuat sang suami langsung menghembuskan nafasnya kasar.
“Aku harap kau memperlakukan dia dengan baik,” ujar lelaki itu, membuat sang wanita langsung tertawa sinis.
“Teori dari mana itu? Mana mungkin seorang istri sah memperlakukan pelakor dengan baik. Itu mustahil, brader!”
“Dia akan menjadi istri sahku juga.”
“Ya ya ya. Terserah kau! Aku sudah terbiasa memanggilnya pelakor.”
“Kau ... tidak sakit hati kan? Aku takut kau diam- diam menangis, terus menjadi depresi,” cicit lelaki itu, membuat sang wanita langsung tertawa keras.
“Air mataku terlalu berharga untuk menangisi bajingan sepertimu, Arthur! Lebih baik kau pulang saja. Aku muak melihat wajah jelekmu!"
Lelaki itu mendengus seraya mengusap dagunya kasar. Kemudian ia lantas keluar dari ruangan itu, sebelum ia mendengar kata- kata hinaan dari mulut istrinya lagi.
Arthur Wilson. Pria berumur 30 tahun itu merupakan seorang suami dari Model ternama di tanah air, Lana Sofia. Wajahnya tidak jelek, namun juga tidak terlalu tampan. Dompetnya tidak tebal, dan ATM-nya tidak tergolong Black card. Tapi hobinya selingkuh dan bermain wanita sana- sini.
Mempunyai istri secantik dan secerdas Lana, seharusnya menjadi suatu anugerah bagi Arthur. Namun sayangnya, lelaki itu tidak pernah merasa puas dengan apa yang ia miliki.
“Aku sampai lelah, mendengar pertengkaran kalian,” ucap sang penata rias.
“Kau harus terbiasa, Gita!”
“Ck. Kenapa kalian tidak bercerai saja?” tanya Gita kesal. Ia sudah terlampau muak melihat pertengkaran pasangan suami istri ini.
“Kita memiliki perjanjian. Jadi aku tidak bisa menggugatnya sekarang.”
“Kau yakin? Melihat suami sendiri menikah dengan wanita lain adalah hal yang sangat menyakitkan, Lana!”
“Ya, aku tau. Tapi itu tidak berlaku untuk diriku. Aku sama sekali tidak keberatan, jika dia menikahi selingkuhannya. Aku yakin, mereka berdua akan mendapatkan karma setelah menikah.” Dengan begitu santainya, Lana mengucapkan kalimat itu. Membuat Gita hanya bisa geleng- geleng kepala.
“Apa kau benar- benar sudah mati rasa?” tanya Gita.
“Entahlah. Yang jelas, aku sudah tidak memiliki perasaan pada Arthur sejak lama,” balas Lana dengan santai.
“Terus kenapa kau bertahan sejauh ini, bodoh?!” tanya Gita kesal.
“Aku memanfaatkannya untuk menjaga anak- anakku di rumah. Dia kan pengangguran,” ujar Lana berbohong. Padahal ada alasan lain yang membuatnya mau tidak mau harus terikat dengan Arthur lebih lama.
“Ck. Mau sampai kapan dia jadi pengangguran?”
“Dia masih menikmati gaji dariku, Git. Biarkan saja! Lagipula kau tau sendiri kan? Jadwal pemotretanku sangat padat, jadi aku tidak memiliki banyak waktu untuk merawat anak- anakku."
“Kan ada pembantu di rumahmu. Kau juga bisa mencarikan Nanny untuk mereka berdua. Jadi apa susahnya?”
“Lea dan Leo susah beradaptasi sama orang lain. Sama Kakek Neneknya sendiri saja, mereka tidak mau,” jawabnya, membuat Gita hanya bisa menghembuskan nafasnya lelah.
“Aku tidak pernah melihat rumah tangga sekonyol ini sebelumnya. Kalian berdua benar- benar gila! Kalau sudah tidak cocok, kenapa masih bertahan? Kau tidak kasihan pada anak- anakmu? Bagaimana jika mental mereka terganggu karena sikap orang tuanya?” cerocos Gita.
“Lea sudah tau kelakuan bejat Daddynya. Jadi, dia tidak keberatan melihat Mommy dan daddynya bertengkar setiap hari,” balas Lana dengan santainya, membuat Gita langsung memelototkan matanya tak percaya.
“Oh ya? Dia berpihak pada siapa?” tanya Gita.
“Jelas mommynya dong,” jawab Lana seraya tersenyum sombong.
“Kalau Leo?”
“Leo tidak membela siapa- siapa. Dia sibuk dengan dunianya sendiri.”
Setelah beberapa menit terdiam, Gita mulai membuka suara lagi, “Aku kasihan pada anak- anakmu. Mereka seperti kekurangan kasih sayang dari orang tua,” ucapnya. Membuat Lana langsung menghembuskan nafasnya kasar.
“Mau bagaimana lagi, Git. Aku bekerja juga untuk mereka berdua. Kalau aku ikut tidur di rumah, siapa yang membiayai hidup mereka?”
Gita berdecak kesal. Selama tiga tahun ia menjadi MUA pribadinya Lana, tidak pernah sekalipun ia melihat Arthur bekerja dengan benar. Pria itu selalu dipecat oleh perusahaan, karena tidak bisa bekerja dengan becus.
“Suamimu benar- benar tidak berguna,” cibir Gita.
“Nah itu, kau sendiri juga tau!”
Tak lama kemudian, tiba- tiba ponsel Lana berdering. Ia mendapat telepon dari anak perempuannya, yang tentunya langsung ia angkat.
“Mom ...” panggil sang anak.
“Yes, girl?”
“Leo nangis.”
“Kenapa?”
“Dimarahin Mak Lampir.”
“Okay, Mommy pulang. Tunggu ya! Tenangin dulu adikmu!”
Setelah mematikan sambungan telfonnya, Lana langsung memanggil managernya yang sedari tadi menunggunya di belakang.
“Batalkan jadwal pemotretanku saat ini. Aku akan pulang sekarang juga,” ujar Lana, membuat sang Manager langsung memelototkan matanya lebar.
“Tidak bisa, Lana! Semuanya sudah disiapkan. Kau jangan bertindak seenaknya sendiri!” protes sang Manager.
“Aku harus pulang. Aku harus memberi pelajaran pada pelakor itu. Beraninya dia memarahi anakku,” ujar Lana. Matanya dipenuhi dengan kilatan amarah dan nafasnya mulai tak beraturan seperti menahan emosi.
“You have a pretty amazing life here.” Themis said as her eyes take everything around her while holding her babe close to her chest, I wondered what she saw and did not see, my sight and hers were different now. I saw the wonders and the mundane and none shocked me anymore.“You think.” I snorted as I rose from my throne seat which was slightly smaller than that of my husband, it was very comfy and a guilty pleasure of mine. Whenever I am on it, I don’t feel the insecurity that is crashing around me. “Enough talking, I haven’t seen my godson in a while, hand him over.”“And look, there she goes threatening me for my own son.” Themis jokes as I wrapped my arms around Themis in a hug. “I have missed you.” Themis confessed.“I knew it, I knew that you would miss the way I heap insults on you.” I teased with a laugh as I untangled myself and held Themis so
It’s been two weeks since I killed the king of Erisea, two weeks of Orel taking control of the empire and putting Dariths in top positions, now it is time to go home… it would not be long before I would welcome my son into the world, I want to do that in the capital even with Estrid there, it was still the second place I know as home and more convenient than the warrior plains of Dar where Orel mainly spend his time, it was also close to winter.According to Orel, we will spend winter in the capital as the wild fields of Dar was not the best place to raise a new born child. This he told me when he started to talk to me again, after shaking me so hard that my teeth clattered together and then refusing to talk to me. He and Gwenn spent many last night together sharing each other pain and grief. I hoped that it made them feel better but I wasn’t too sure if anybody would ever feel better after losing their friend who was a part of their soul.
Gwenn PovMy head felt like burst from the knowledge that was flashing through my head, the closer I got to the camp, my people were in. Hundreds and thousands of things, I never knew existed not to talk of need to learn ran through my mind and sank in my brain, most of them were powerful words… not spells. My brain provided me with the right word to use.“Are you okay mistress?” Sorens asked in worry behind me.I wanted to laugh, how do you define okay anymore? My life had stopped being okay a while ago when I was wedded into Northshore. My best friend died for me, my husband was probably on top of another lady at this moment, I just learnt that my new people were not demons but something close to, I had a war to fight and I could not even be left alone to mourn. I didn’t bother to try and answer Sorens question because it was clear that I was not okay. I got to the camp to meet the rest of the le
Gwenn PovThe camp was quiet, everybody was feeling the loss… not as much as the three of us. Themis, Orel and me. For a day now, we have done nothing but remain within Elison space, sitting among his things, not talking or moving around much. We didn’t care if we were in public or neither did we try to pretend to be strong for our warriors.“He always so patient with me, he taught me my first sword trick.” I said softly, the first one of us to break the silence, Orel turned to look at me with eyes that looked as if the soul have been sucked out of them.He was the first person to ever beat me in a bawl then he suggested that we should join the army together.” Orel added.“I cannot believe he is gone.” I voiced as I rubbed my palms on my shoulders like I was cold but I knew it wasn’t the cold, I was feeling the piercing loss of our friend and brother and I also knew that I would not accept comf
ELISON POVMistress of the whip, Gwenn is called, I am called something more practical, something which might not be related to torture techniques or brilliant fighting skills just like Gwenn and Orel dubbed titles but it was still important, it was still enough to be seen as special. The master huntsman is my title. Nothing can out run me, nothing can escape my clutches once I start my hunt.And now, this hunt has started, to save my sister life, a race against time… I pray to the gods, please don’t let anything happen to her, I am on my way…I am coming to take the death that is rightfully mine.********************************************DYANE POVHe left, even with knowledge that he would die, all to save those he considered as family, all to save his honorary sister. I might have just seen Elison alive for the last time. I quickly send a prayer to the gods, please prote
Orel PovEven with my mind on Themis, I didn’t have enough spare time to hunt her down until it was evening. When I found her, she was with Gwenn and Elison and from the looks of it, was solely distraught and begging Elison to agree to something, Elison, I noted was also looking pale and a little too taunt for my liking.“What’s going on here?” I asks as soon as I got close enough to hold my wife so she would not jump in shock as I approached them from the direction her back was turned to.“Apparently, I might leave you all soon.” Elison said with a wry grin on his lips but his eyes were hunted.“Don’t be silly, you are not going anywhere even if we have to tie you to keep you safe, I am sure that we can avert this.” Gwenn said in a brash tone as if she was taking on an unwilling candidate that would beat her and know this fact yet she is still charging into the battle with a war cry and weapon in her hands, w
