View MorePagi itu, Nadine menata kotak makan siang di atas meja dapur dengan hati-hati, seakan apa yang ia susun di dalamnya bisa menyusun ulang sesuatu yang lama rapuh di antara mereka. Ayam panggang kesukaan Raka sudah terbungkus rapi, nasi masih mengepul. Jemarinya sempat gemetar saat merapikan potongan kecil selada di sisi kotak. Hari ini, ia hanya ingin memberi kejutan kecil. Sesuatu yang sederhana, yang mungkin bisa membuat Raka tersenyum ketika menerima perhatiannya.
Lio berdiri di sisi meja, masih mengenakan jaket sekolah berwarna biru laut. Mata bulat anak itu memandang kotak makan, lalu menatap ibunya seakan bisa menebak apa yang sedang Nadine rasakan. “Mau kasih kejutan buat Ayah, Bunda?” tanyanya polos. Nadine tersenyum kecil, mengusap pipi Lio. “Iya. Biar Ayah senang. Mungkin dia lelah.” “Ayah pasti senang banget!” Lio berseru riang, membuat Nadine berusaha menyimpan keraguan yang sedari tadi berkecamuk di dadanya. Mereka berangkat tidak lama kemudian. Mobil keluarga berjalan pelan menembus lalu lintas yang padat. Nadine berkali-kali menoleh ke kursi belakang, memastikan kotak makan siang tidak tergeser. Rasanya aneh, seperti ia sedang membawa seluruh harapannya di dalam benda kecil itu. Sesekali, ia melirik kaca spion untuk melihat wajah Lio yang menatap keluar jendela dengan kaki bergoyang-goyang. Ketika akhirnya mereka tiba di lobi kantor Raka, Nadine menarik napas panjang sebelum masuk. Udara dingin pendingin ruangan menyambut langkahnya yang ragu-ragu. Gedung tinggi berlapis kaca ini selalu tampak terlalu mewah baginya, selalu membuatnya merasa asing. Kotak makan siang ia dekap erat di dada, kain batik pembungkusnya seakan menjadi pelindung terakhir dari rasa malu yang belum sepenuhnya ia pahami. Resepsionis perempuan menatapnya sopan, dengan senyum yang datar. “Permisi,” suara Nadine terdengar lebih kecil daripada yang ia maksudkan. “Saya istri Pak Raka. Saya ingin menyerahkan makan siang.” Perempuan itu mengetik sesuatu sebentar di komputernya sebelum menoleh lagi. “Maaf, Bu. Pak Raka sedang meeting di luar.” “Di mana?” Nadine mencoba terdengar wajar, meski ada desakan ganjil di dadanya. “Hotel Emerald. Sudah sejak pukul sepuluh tadi,” jawab resepsionis dengan nada datar. Nadine hanya mengangguk pelan. Ia merasakan Lio meraih ujung blusnya, seolah ikut menyadari sesuatu yang tak ia mengerti. Di dalam mobil lagi, Nadine menatap jalanan macet dengan pikiran yang makin kabur. Hotel? Kenapa dia tak bilang akan meeting di hotel? Bukankah Raka selalu memberitahunya kalau harus bekerja di luar kantor? “Bunda, Ayah senang kan kalau kita datang?” suara Lio memecah diam, membuat Nadine hampir tersedak oleh perasaan yang tak punya nama. “Tentu,” ia menjawab, berusaha menegakkan punggung. “Ayah pasti... senang.” Namun suaranya bergetar, dan ia tak sanggup menatap anaknya di kaca spion. Hotel Emerald berdiri tinggi di tepi jalan utama, dengan lampu gantung kristal yang tergantung megah di lobi. Nadine berdiri dekat sofa panjang, matanya menyapu setiap orang yang melintas. Kotak makan siang di tangannya terasa lebih berat daripada tadi pagi. Jantungnya berdetak terlalu cepat. Ia tak tahu pasti apakah itu hanya gugup, atau firasat yang lebih gelap. Detik itu juga, pintu kaca otomatis terbuka. Nadine menoleh refleks—dan waktu seolah berhenti. Raka keluar dari pintu bersama seorang perempuan tinggi berambut hitam bergelombang. Mereka tertawa. Tawa yang lembut, tawa yang Nadine kenal dan rindukan. Tawa yang bukan untuknya. Tangan Raka menggenggam jemari perempuan itu dengan cara yang tak bisa dijelaskan oleh kata “rekan kerja.” Tania. Nadine mengingat namanya dari perkenalan singkat beberapa bulan lalu. Asisten baru. Mereka berjalan begitu dekat, seakan dunia hanya milik mereka. Nadine tak bisa menarik napas. Ia hanya berdiri, membiarkan kakinya memaku dirinya di lantai marmer. Lio merapat padanya, tangan kecilnya menempel di blus. Tania tersenyum pada Raka. “Jangan lupa nanti kirim aku draft presentasinya.” “Tenang saja. Hari ini aku puny—” suara Raka terputus begitu matanya bertemu mata Nadine. Ia langsung melepaskan genggaman tangan Tania, tapi itu tak menghapus apa yang sudah Nadine lihat. “Na...Nadine?” Raka memanggil dengan suara tercekat. “Kau... kau di sini dengan dia?” suara Nadine serak, hampir tak terdengar oleh dirinya sendiri. “Ini tidak... tidak seperti yang kau pikirkan.” Nadine menahan napas, menatapnya tanpa berkedip. “Lalu seperti apa? Katakan padaku... seperti apa?” Tania menarik tangannya pelan, menunduk sedikit. “Mungkin... kita bisa bicara lain waktu.” Nadine tidak memedulikan Tania. Matanya hanya tertuju pada Raka yang tampak lebih pucat daripada siapa pun yang pernah ia lihat. “Tidak perlu,” ia berbisik. “Semua sudah jelas.” Kotak makan siang tergelincir dari tangannya, jatuh menghantam lantai dengan bunyi tumpul yang entah bagaimana terdengar lebih nyaring daripada suara apa pun di lobi hotel itu. Nasi dan ayam panggang tumpah di lantai marmer, berantakan seperti yang sekarang ia rasakan di dalam dadanya. Raka melangkah setengah mendekat. Nadine mundur satu langkah. Ada sesuatu di dalam dirinya yang patah, sesuatu yang ia tahu tak akan bisa utuh lagi meski Raka bersumpah seribu kali bahwa semua ini hanya salah paham. Saat Raka menoleh dan menatapku, aku tahu: rumah kami baru saja runtuh.Two months had gone by since the war at Voocrod. With Jane and Benedict out of our lives, things were back to normal, mostly. The loss of our father was irrevocable, but we were grateful to have each other. Mom’s emotions had gotten under control, and she was slowly returning to her old self. Desmond was now her favorite person in the world. She could barely have a family dinner without him. It made me so happy to see their unique bond.Mia was doing well, too. Her scars had healed, and she had met a wonderful guy a month ago. Things were going pretty well. Her new boyfriend, Jack, had become Mom’s second favorite, so we expected a lot from that relationship.Derrick’s life had changed drastically as well. He now believed in magic and demons and supported my relationship with Desmond. What shocked us the most was when he and Becky announced they were officially dating. Good for Becky! She was a sweetheart who had always done so much to help me and my family. I couldn’t wait to have h
“Help, help!” I threw my fists at the window panically. In the building’s empty parking lot, there was no one to hear my distress-filled screams. I tried the door handle again, but it wouldn’t budge.Benedict’s demons had me cornered. Nothing was off limits for them. The fact that Alistair was on the enemy’s side was a greater shock than finding Desmond’s truth. I believed Xolmon because he acted so normal. I should have known better. Why did I agree to meet him, knowing very well that demons could look and behave normally?“Save the screaming for when we torture you, girl,” Hepzibah, the demoness, taunted. Her sharp claws gripped my shoulders, pulling me out of my seat. I struggled and shrieked. Even though it was pointless, I called Desmond’s name. The monster of my nightmares had caught me. Who would save me now? He was the only one I trusted after God.As I was kicking my feet, everything became a blur. I could hear the demons snickering at me. It all faded slowly. I had passed ou
My heart throbbed with the clock’s second needle. It was around midnight. Desmond had left fifteen minutes ago for Voocrod, leaving me and my family at Becky’s apartment. The much-awaited final war had begun. I had begged him to take me with him, but he said it was too dangerous. “Humans suffer the most during spirit wars, Cass,” Desmond had said. “Fiends will not hesitate to spill innocent blood. Violence is entertainment for them. What I fear the most is them taking you hostage to hurt me. Your love is my strength and my weakness. It doesn’t matter how close we are to winning the war. I would drop everything and sacrifice myself to save you.”Now, I was forced to wait without updates. Desmond wasn’t the only one who cared. I cared about his safety, too. Resting on Becky’s couch, I prayed to God for our victory and to bring my demon back to me unharmed.Becky wasn’t there because she had to leave to see her grandmother because of a medical emergency. My friend, however, was kind en
The water rapidly hit the rocks in a narrow stream. I watched it continuously flow. Nature is truly a miracle and the best way to refresh your mind. However, nothing can ease the anxiety of a current challenge. I couldn’t stop thinking about what Ophelia had said about not seeing a trapped child there. The war that was soon to come entailed death and imprisonment. What would I choose for my aunt when I wasn’t sure about her sins? Punishing an innocent would eat me up alive. There had to be a solution.“There is, Cass,” Desmond spoke. For the past five minutes, gushing water was the only sound around us. “I brought you here to clear your mind. Don’t punish yourself because of Jane.”With a lowered head, I walked up to Desmond. “I am sorry. Don’t you find this extremely troubling?”“No.” Desmond shook his head. “Because the solution is obvious.”“Which is what?” I said, desperate for anything.“Jane hasn’t given us any proof of her innocence. We don’t trust anyone,” Desmond began. I wa
I put a hand over my eyes, knowing very well that I could only conceal my face and not my thoughts from the two demons around me. How could I control my thoughts? For us humans, our minds and social media are the only two places to criticize safely.It was so unfair to have that taken away from you. I wished for the ground beneath to swallow me to save everyone from further embarrassment.“But I didn’t say anything, mother,” said Desmond. He must be trying to divert her attention from me. My boyfriend was very forgiving of my insulting thoughts. Was his mother the same?The lady opened her eyes to reveal the most striking golden eyes. The color was similar to Desmond’s siren irises, but they lacked the glow and appeared more natural. Her overall look reminded me of Rose from Titanic. She had red hair with the fairest skin and an elegant fashion sense.“You know I have a gift for this. You were about to introduce this beautiful human girl to me as your partner,” she spoke with a toothy
It was finally happening. Desmond’s tongue was so deep in my mouth that I could feel us becoming one. I didn’t want it to end. My mind couldn’t help but compare the kiss to the one I had shared with Charles. Kissing Charles was slobbery and warm. Whereas kissing Desmond was discovering infinite pleasures within your mouth while losing all control and touch with your surroundings. My feelings for my demon were just as massive as the difference between the two make-out sessions, which amplified the bliss even more.I liked how one of Desmond’s hands was still on my boob. He had already helped me explore the pleasures of my body in countless ways. Yet, I still wanted more. Not even an eternity locked and lost in his body could quench my thirst for him. I was addicted to him.Desmond’s hands traveled around my body, searching for more to grab and feel. With the same intention, I unzipped his jacket and slipped my hands underneath his shirt, feeling his soft skin and ripped body.“Cass, s
