The Ugly Truth

Epilog

7 tahun kemudian...

Perempuan berumur 25 tahun itu kembali di sibuk melakukan pekerjaannya. Ia dengan tekun menatap layar laptopnya. Menatap berbagai macam design dress, tas, dan sepatu buatannya. Dalam hitungan menit, berbagai brand ternama langsung menawar design-design miliknya dengan harga tinggi.

Perempuan itu kemudian tersenyum bangga sambil berkata, "It's done!"

"Arianna, lets go, the car is waiting," ujar seorang perempuan dengan rambut pirang yang mungkin berumur sekitar 40an.

Anna segera mengangguk dan mengambil tasnya. Ia kemudian langsung berjalan ke depan perempuan tadi dan memasuki mobil yang sudah terpakir rapih di depan gedung besar itu.

"Remember, Arianna, there will be a lot of question that will be pointed on you. You need to answer precisely. Your answer will be written on bazaar magazine next month. This is your big shot," ujar perempuan itu sambil menatap Anna dengan serius.

Anna hanya tertawa sambil masih memainkan ponselnya, "I know, Lorraine. Thanks for remind me."

Perempuan yang dipanggil Lorraine itu berdecak kecil, "Ugh, this is serious, Arianna."

Anna akhirnya menatap Lorraine dan tersenyum, "I know but please don't stressed out about this."

Sesaat kemudian ia sampai di gedung tinggi lainnya. "You're here, miss," ujar supir mobilnya.

"Thanks, you can go to the nearest coffee shop, here's the money. Lorraine will call you when I'm done," ujar Anna dengan senyumnya.

Ia kemudian memasuki ruangan itu sambil bersiap-siap memikirkan pertanyaan apa saja yang akan ditorehkan kepadanya nanti.

"So, Arianna, we all know that you are a very talented beautiful young woman. There are a lot of guys who willing to have a line for you, right? But as we know, we haven't see you with any guy. Why is that? Are you keeping your man alone? Hahahaha," ujar perempuan cantik yang duduk di seberang tempat duduknya.

Anna tertawa, "Hahaha, please, I don't have one. Well, to be honest, I still can't forget my first love..."

Pembawa acara itu terlihat kaget, "So would you tell us about this special guy who takes your heart?"

"Hmm, not much. He is a nice guy. But... yeah... our love doesn't have that kind of happy ending hahahaha."

"What happened?"

"He needs to study in Germany, so he left... I was very sad, but one day it opened my eyes about something..."

"....that I need to stop waiting for that 'perfect' boy because he is not out there. He may love me, was. But big chance, he is not now. My life isn't an 80's movie. If he go away, he's not gonna come back and comfort me. He's gonna leave, maybe forever. And I need to stop expecting him to come back. But there's such a thing as love, he said so too. And I need to find it, just with my hopes not as high. Because reality and the truth sometime not good as what we expecting it to be."

Semua orang yang mendengarnya bertepuk tangan sambil menyoraknya.
