“Ucapkan satu permintaan sebelum meniup lilinnya,” kata Tara, menyadarkannya dari lamunan.
“Permintaan?”
Tara menatapnya dan mengangguk dengan sungguh-sungguh. “Kau tentu tahu permintaan yang diucapkan saat kita berulang tahun akan selalu terkabul, bukan?”
Tatsuya mendengus pelan dan diam-diam tersenyum masam. Yang benar saja. Permintaan? Tentu saja dia punya permintaan. Ia sudah meneriakkan permintaannya dalam hati berulang-ulang selama beberapa hari terakhir ini. Ia bahkan yakin Tuhan pun bisa mendengar teriakan hatinya. Namun ia masih cukup waras untuk menyadari keinginannya tidak akan pernah terkabul. Sekarang ini ia bahkan sudah tidak berani bermimpi untuk berharap.
“Ayo, cepat,” desak Tara. “Nanti lilinnya meleleh.”
Tatsuya menurut. Ia memejamkan mata sejenak, kemudian membuka mata dan meniup lilin di kue itu.
Tara dan pelayan-pelayan itu bertepuk tangan. Setelah menyalami Tatsuya, pelayan-pelayan tersebut meninggalkan mereka berdua.
“Apa yang kauminta tadi?” tanya Tara. Gadis itu ingin tahu, seperti biasa.
Tatsuya tersenyum dan mengulurkan tangan hendak menyentuh kepala Tara, tapi dengan cepat menyadari apa yang akan dilakukannya dan menarik kembali tangannya. Ia menggeleng dan mengalihkan pandangan dari wajah Tara. “Aku tidak bisa mengatakannya padamu. Kalau kukatakan, harapanku tidak akan terkabul,” elaknya.
Tara tersenyum manis, lalu merogoh tas tangannya. Ia mengeluarkan sebuah kotak kecil berwarna biru dan menyerahkannya kepada Tatsuya.
“Hadiah,” katanya dengan senyum lebar.
Tatsuya menerima hadiah yang disodorkan dengna perasaan campur aduk.
“Baiklah,” kata Tara dengan mata berbinar-binar. “Semoga kau suka.”
Tatsuya melakukan seperti yang diminta. Ia membuka kotak kecil sederhana itu dan mengeluarkan sebuah jam saku antik berwarna emas, lengkap dengan rantainya. Dan di tutup jam saku itu terukir kata “Fujitatsu”.
“Selamat ulang tahun, Tatsuya,” kata Tara. “Aku memberimu jam saku itu supaay kau lebih memerhatikan waktu. Jangan bekerja terus-terusan. Kau harus ingat ada waktunya untuk istirahat.”
Tatsuya mengangkat wajah dan menatap langsung ke mata Tara. Gadis itu membalas tatapannya dengan senyum lebar yang selalu sanggup membuat Tatsuya melupakan semua beban masalah.
“Nah, sekarang apa yang ingin kaukatakan padaku tadi?” tanya Tara, menyadarkan Tatsuya akan kenyataan yang ada.
Tatsuya tidak langsung menjawab. Ia menatap gadis itu, lalu jam saku yang ada dalam genggamannya, dan kembali menatap Tara. Ia memaksakan seulas senyum tipis. “Akus enang melihatmu lagi.”
Tuhan, tolonglah dia.... Ia sungguh tidak bisa memberitahu gadis itu. Tidak bisa. Mulutnya seakan terkunci. Lidahnya seakan tidak berfungsi.
Tara mengangkat kedua alis, lalu tertawa.
Tuhan, tolonglah dia.... Ia tidak bisa memberitahu gadis itu bahwa mereka punya ayah yang sama.
Ia tidak bisa....
