Untuk ke sekian kalinya akhirnya aku hanya bisa menjauhkan diriku dari tubuh Vanya, wanita yang kunikahi hampir sebulan yang lalu itu dengan menahan kesal.Bagaimana tidak? Sudah hampir sebulan lamanya, aku sama sekali tak bisa menyentuhnya. Setiap aku mencoba mendekatinya, dia pasti langsung berteriak histeris sehingga membangunkan seisi rumah."Maafkan aku Mas, aku sungguh berdosa. Aku tidak pantas jadi istrimu!"Vanya meringkuk di sudut ranjang sambil memeluk lututnya. Tubuhnya gemetar hebat. Dia menangis.Aku yang tadi kesal luar biasa, sedikit luluh ketika melihat dia terlihat begitu ketakutan. Vanya gadis yang polos dan lugu, dan sebagai seorang santriwati yang hidup di pesantren dia pasti tak pernah bersentuhan dengan lawan jenis.Mama menjodohkan dia denganku karena ingin aku memiliki istri yang sholehah, bisa mengurus Mama dengan baik. Dan benar, Vanya wanita sholehah, taat agama, menutup aurat dengan sempurna, juga bisa merawat Mama dengan sangat baik. Sayang sekali, sampai sekarang aku tak bisa mendapatkan kebutuhan batin darinya."Sudah, Dek. Jangan menangis," ucapku lembut padanya, karena tak tega melihat dia ketakutan seperti itu."Maaf, Mas. Maafkan aku." Vanya terus saja minta maaf, membuatku semakin tak tega."Gak papa, Van. Aku tidak akan memaksa sampai kamu benar-benar siap," ucapku lagi.Vanya perlahan mengangkat wajahnya, tapi tak berani menatap langsung padaku. Aku hanya tersenyum getir. Apa ini bisa disebut pernikahan?..."Cie ... pengantin baru, pagi-pagi udah kusut aja."Tasya, teman sekantor sekaligus wanita yang pernah dekat denganku itu tersenyum mengejek."Ada masalah apa sih, Di?" tanyanya."Gak ada apa-apa, Sya," jawabku sambil mencoba menyembunyikan kegundahanku."Jangan bohong, Di. Kita memang sudah gak bersama, tapi kamu boleh kok bercerita tentang masalahmu padaku sebagai seorang sahabat," ucap Tasya lagi meyakinkan.Aku membuang napas berat. Karena Tasya terus mendesak, akhirnya aku menceritakan semua padanya. Tentang istriku yang tak mau kusentuh."Mungkin dia takut sesuatu, Di. Takut ketahuan gak perawan, misalnya," celetuk Tasya ketika aku selesai bercerita."Jangan asal kamu, Sya. Dia itu wanita sholehah, rajin ibadah, belum pernah bersentuhan dengan laki-laki," sahutku gusar."Jaman sekarang apa yang gak mungkin, Di? Banyak kok wanita berhijab yang cuma buat kedok doang. Apalagi kamu menikahinya lewat ta'aruf, kan? Gimana kamu tahu?"Aku terdiam mendengar ucapan Tasya. Apa mungkin Vanya seperti itu?"Oh ya, istrimu kan kemana-mana bercadar. Saat nikah juga. Secantik apa sih mukanya?"Aku membuang napas, lalu mengambil gawaiku. Kuperlihatkan wajah Vanya yang tanpa cadar kepada Tasya. Tak disangka, Tasya terkejut bukan main."Ternyata istrimu wanita itu, Aldi?""Iya, dia Vanya istriku," jawabku sambil mengerutkan kening ketika melihat ekspresi wajah Tasya."Apanya yang wanita sholehah? Kamu sudah dibohongi, Aldi!"Netraku membulat seketika ketika mendengar ucapannya."Apa maksudmu, Tasya? Kamu mengenal Vanya?"Tasya menatap ke arahku dengan pandangan serius."Dia itu pelac*r!"Eve Everyone went silent for a second as they processed the news in shock. The employees on my side were visibly surprised as well. Just a few days ago, they thought all hope was lost after our months of planning and strategizing. They must be wondering how I pulled it off in a few days, if only they knew.Once they regained themselves, they began clapping and cheering happily for the new dispensation.My heart warmed seeing them so happy. Sinclair wasn't a terrible boss, but he was strict and neglectful of the employees' feelings; he only cared about revenues. Some workers have been loyal to the company for decades with no promotion in sight, and some are struggling outside work with no one to help. I observed all this in the time I began working at the office, too. While I randomly helped where I could, I had given the impression that I was kinder and considerate than him. I was not deaf to the remarks and gossip around the office, I have heard some wishes that I should be the C
Eve“Eve, I am very sorry, I have no excuses for my actions. I got carried away by greed and forgot what was truly important, and that was you. You are what's important. And because I'm a fool I failed to realize that until recently. I fell in love with you, Eve, and I mean it, I love you. I wanted to make everything right, but I was also scared of your reaction. I didn't go about it correctly, and I'm sorry about that, too. If I had, then we wouldn't be in this mess. We can still talk this out, Eve, we can still fix this. I know you didn't kill my mother, Xander must have manipulated you. Untie me let's talk… please.” Sinclair pleaded with tearful eyes as he looked back at me. I watched him for a few more seconds, and I watched tears roll down his heartbroken, handsome face. And with a cold, hard look, I picked up the papers I had arranged beforehand and brought them closer to him. “It’s too late, Sinclair, I don't love you anymore. You have two options, you either sign every prop
EveI walked into the room with my head held high and the hardest expression on my face. I could see from my side view that Sinclair's eyes were on me but I spared him no glance as I came to sit beside Xander. “Evie…” I heard him call out in a low strained voice.My gaze turned sharply and I looked at him dead in the eyes before saying, “My name is Eve…” I could barely finish when he interrupted with a desperate look on his face. “Stay away from him, Evie. He's dangerous, please. You have no idea what he is capable of”Xander chuckled and replied, “Are you referring to yourself? Because you are the one tied up right now. Seems like you are yet to process what is actually going on so let me help you. Eve is with me and she is involved in the situation you are in right now, she saw through your bullshit all this time” “What? You liar, what have you been telling her” he roared and then turned to me and his gaze visibly softened, “Eve baby, don't believe a word he says, he's a liar and
Sinclair I checked the time out of habit, it was 6:34 pm. I was expecting Eve by 7:15 pm, so there was still plenty of time. I was at the lake house in Minnesota, a private property I acquired for a little getaway once in a while. I had planned one for the weekend with Eve, she deserved it after holding down the company for weeks when I was absent. It was also the last time we might spend together because I planned on telling her the truth too. At the thought of how hurt she would feel, my heart constricted and I sipped my glass of wine to calm myself. It was now or never, I couldn't postpone it any further than this.X's warning a few days ago came to mind, he was the one who released that information to the press. It was a warning to keep my end of the deal and I got so worried that he might have gone for Eve that I called the office to check. It was then that one of the board directors told me about the investor problem and the agreement. Luckily, I was able to step in in time b
