Tae-Woo hanya bisa mendengarkan dal

Tae-Woo hanya bisa mendengarkan dalam diam sementara ibunya menjelaskan apa yang terjadi saat wawancara di toko buku. Park Hyun-Shik tidak berkomentar. Sandy juga hanya duduk di sana tanpa suara.
“Maafkan Bibi, Soon-Hee. Bibi tidak sengaja. Bibi tidak tahu kalian tidak ingin orang-orang tahu.”
Sandy tersenyum lebar menenangkan wanita cantik itu. “Tidak apa-apa, Bibi. Bukan masalah besar. Lagi pula cepat atau lambat mereka akan tahu juga.”
Tae-Woo menduga Sandy sebenarnya risau, hanya saja ia tidak mau menunjukkannya karena takut ibunya merasa bersalah.
“Benar, ini bukan masalah besar,” kata Park Hyun-Shik memecah kesunyian. “Sekarang yang penting kita antar Sandy pulang dulu, lalu kita ke bandara untuk mengantar Bibi.” Ia memandang ibu Tae-Woo melalui kaca spion. “Bibi tidak usah khawatir. Semuanya akan baik-baik saja.”
Ketika mereka tiba di gedung apartemen Sandy, Tae-Woo mengantarnya sampai ke depan pintu apartemennya.
“Oke, aku sudah sampai,” kata Sandy di depan pintu apartemen. “Pergilah. Kau masih harus mengantar ibumu ke bandara.”
Tae-Woo menatap gadis yang berdiri di hadapannya itu. Walaupun Sandy tersenyum, Tae-Woo bisa melihat senyum itu bukan senyum ceria yang biasa.
“Apa yang kaupikirkan sekarang?” tanya Tae-Woo.
Mata Sandy tampak menerawang. Ia menarik napas dalam-dalam dan mengembuskannya pelan. “Aku tidak tahu,” sahutnya. “Banyak sekali yang kupikirkan sampai-sampai aku sendiri bingung.”
Tae-Woo tidak mengatakan apa-apa. Ia menunggu karena sepertinya gadis itu masih ingin berkata-kata.
“Semua orang sudah tahu. Apa yang harus kulakukan sekarang?” tanya Sandy, lebih kepada dirinya sendiri. Tiba-tiba matanya melebar dan ia menatap cemas Tae-Woo. “Orangtuaku. Mereka pasti juga akan tahu. Apa yang harus kukatakan pada mereka?”
Tae-Woo tidak punya jawaban untuk pertanyaan-pertanyaan itu, tapi tiba-tiba, saat itu juga, ia sangat yakin akan satu hal. Ia tidak ingin gadis yang berdiri di hadapannya itu mendapat kesulitan. Tapi apa yang bisa dilakukannya? Ia kesal pada dirinya sendiri karena tidak bisa mengatakan sesuatu yang menghibur.
Perlahan ia maju selangkah dan memeluk gadis itu. Sandy tidak menghindar. Entha kenapa Tae-Woo merasa segalanya tepat seperti seharusnya ketika gadis itu dalam

pelukannya. Seluruh rasa lelah seolah mengalir keluar dari tubuhnya. Ia ingin sekali terus seperti ini. Ia ingin sekali tetap berdiri di sana dan memeluk Sandy selamanya.
“Tidak usah dipikirkan,” kata Tae-Woo pelan. “Kau akan baik-baik saja. Percayalah padaku.”
Aku akan pastikan kau tidak mendapat masalah….
Ia melepaskan pelukannya dan menatap Sandy. Sandy menarik napas dan tersenyum kecil.
“Aku tahu,” kata Sandy sambil mengangguk tegas. “Aku bisa mengatasinya. Kau pergilah.”
Tae-Woo menunggu sampai Sandy masuk ke apartemen sebelum berbalik pergi. Ia berjalan menuju lift tanpa menyadari ada pria berpostur tinggi besar sedang memerhatikan kepergiannya tidak jauh dari sana.
Sandy menutup pintu apartemen dan menarik napas panjang. Ia melemparkan tasnya ke kursi lalu duduk di lantai.
Kenapa bisa begini? Acara makan siang yang menyenangkan berubah menjadi kekacauan. Sandy tidak bisa menggambarkan perasaannya ketika ia keluar dari restoran dan tiba-tiba berhadapan dengan segerombolan wartawan yang tidak henti-hentinya menjepretkan kamera, meneriakkan namanya, dan mengajukan pertanyaan-pertanyaan. Seakan kejadian yang dialaminya tadi tidak nyata, seperti mimpi.
Apa yang harus ia lakukan? Apa yang sudah ia lakukan?
Mungkin sejak awal seharusnya ia tidak terlibat dengan Jung Tae-Woo. Namanya kini sudah tersebar dan mungkin besok wajahnya akan terpampang jelas di tabloid-tabloid. Sebenarnya hanya satu hal yang mencemaskannya, yaitu reaksi orangtuanya. Bagaimana ia harus menjelaskan semua ini kepada orangtuanya?
Sandy meraih tas dan mengeluarkan ponsel. Baterai ponsel itu masih belum dipasang. Ia menatap ponselnya. Apakah ia harus menelepon orangtuanya? Kalau orangtuanya tahu, mereka pasti tidak akan tinggal diam, apalagi ibunya. Meski ia menjelaskan bahwa semua itu tidak benar dan sesungguhnya ia sama sekali tidak punya hubungan apa pun dengan Jung Tae-Woo, ia yakin keadaannya tidak akan berbeda.
Jung Tae-Woo. Pikiran Sandy kembali melayang ke saat ia berada dalam pelukan laki-laki itu. Ketika Jung Tae-Woo memeluknya, waktu seakan berhenti berputar. Ketika Jung Tae-Woo mengatakan semuanya akan baik-baik saja, ia benar-benar percaya. Ketika Jung Tae-Woo melepaskan pelukannya, keyakinan diri itu hilang lagi. Kenapa begini?
