Hunter House Corp.
Seorang pria dengan serius menatap laporan di laptopnya sesekali mengesap Jasmine tea yang dibawakan sekertarisnya itu. Tak lama pandangannya teralihkan ketika suara ketukan dipintu ruangannya itu terdengar..
"Masuk..".
"Selamat pagi pak, saya ingin infokan kalau hari ini ada pelamar yang akan interview langsung dengan anda.." ucap Jane sekertarisnya.
"Suruh dia masuk... Pastikan ia sesuai kriteria ku Jane?" tanya.
"Mmmm... Soal itu anda bisa menilainya sendiri pak...saya permisi." pamitnya seraya menutup pintu.
Pria itu adalah Hunter Pearce seorang pebisnis pintar berusia 28 tahun yang tampan dan mempesona, ia memiliki kriteria bagi setiap pelamar wanita dikantornya yakni cantik dan tinggi semampai. Salah satu sifat yang dimiliki Hunter ,ia orang yang arogan,sombong dan terlalu dingin dan tentunya perfeksionis.
Dan ketika pintu ruangannya terbuka menampilkan seorang wanita dengan penampilan yang aneh dan Pria itu sedikit kaget dengan penampilan wanita pelamar didepannya...
Sungguh bukan kriteria pekerja yang dia inginkan.
"Woow woow...tunggu Nona sepertinya kau salah perusahaan...apa kau tidak membaca syarat yang tertera dilembaran lowongan itu..." ucapnya seraya keluar dari area mejanya dan setengah duduk membelakangi mejanya dengan tatapan sarkastik.
Wanita dengan tatapan aneh itu tersenyum miring dengan kedua tangannya didalam saku dress hitamnya.
"Aku tidak salah perusahan Mr. Hunter yang tampan...aku kesini hanya ingin mencoba keberuntungaku melamar diperusahaan besarmu ini."
"Tidak mungkin,,kau tidak diterima disini Nona...pelamar yang ingin bekerja disini harus sesuai kriteria yang kuinginkan...dan kau tidak masuk kriteria itu Ms. ....."
"Kendra.. Kendra William.. Mr. Pearce yang terhormat..." kini tatapan wanita itu mengarah tajam kearah manik mata Hunter.
Entah kenapa tatapan wanita itu mampu membuat Hunter sedikit gemetar dan rasa takut yang tiba tiba muncul.. Tidak ada senyum yang terpatri di wajah tampan Hunter setelah membalas tatapan wanita itu..
Wanita itupun bangkit dari duduknya dan berjalan meninggalkan Hunter... Tapi sesaat akan membuka pintu,wanita itu kembali mengarahkan tatapan magicnya kepada Hunter dan berkata sesuatu.

"Hatimu tidak setampan dan sebaik wajahmu Mr. Pearce...sepertinya kau harus banyak belajar nantinya...sampai bertemu lagi...Hunter" wanita itu menekan kan nama pria itu dan tersenyum pada Hunter dengan ekspresi serius kemudian berlalu meninggalkan ruangan.
Entah kenapa Hunter merasa berkeringat dingin dan sedikit gemetar dari cara wanita itu menatapnya.. Seperti ada magic yang mengalir dari tatapan wanita aneh itu.
********
Keringat bercucuran menemani tidur Hunter malam ini,sangat gelisah dan tiba tiba tatapan wanita bernama Kendra itu merasuki pikiran dan mimpinya. Sontak ia pun bangun dengan posisi duduk diranjang dan dalam keadaan shirtless hanya memakai boxer hitamnya,ia berjalan ke arah balkon penthousenya dan membiarkan semilir angin malam berhembus menerpa kulitnya yang tanpa pakaian itu.
"Kau harus banyak belajar melihat orang lain Hunter..." suara wanita tiba tiba membuat Hunter membalikan tubuhnya dan mendapati wanita bernama Kendra itu didalam balkon penthousenya,dengan penampilan yang berbeda..
"Kau ... Kendra,ba-bagaimana bisa kau ada disini heh?"
"Aku hanya mau sedikit memberi pelajaran pada mu dan sifat burukmu itu... Hati dan sifatmu tidak sebaik wajahmu"
Tangan wanita itu meraih sebelah tangan Hunter,dan Hunter tiba tiba diam membeku ketika melihat tangannya terdapat sebuah gambar bunga mawar besar dengan kelopak yang banyak seperti tattoo tapi anehnya gambar itu hidup.
"Apa yang akan kau lakukan, Kendra?dan apa ini?" tanyanya panik seraya mengarahkan tatapannya pada tangannya dan wanita itu.
"Kau tau sedikit Magic yang akan merubah hidupmu Hunt...
Kau mempunyai waktu 2 bulan untuk menemukan seseorang yang benar benar mencintaimu dengan tulus... Atau kutukan ini akan menjadi selamanya.." ucapnya seraya menatap mata Hunter
"Kutukan apa maksudmu?2 bulan?kau bercanda dijaman seperti ini mustahil ada hal seperti itu hahaha..." ucapnya seraya tertawa kecil. Namun tawanya berubah menjadi ekspresi tegang ketika wanita didepannya ini menggesar tubuhnya dan sengaja membiarkan Hunter melihat bayangannya sendiri di kaca balkon penthousenya.

Betapa terkejutnya mendapati wajah dan tubuhnya berubah seperti monster,mungkin kata itu yang keluar dari pikiran Hunter sekarang.
Wajah dan tubuhnya penuh sayatan seperti luka dan ukiran ukiran aneh seperti akar di seluruh tubuhnya. Pria itu menoleh ke arah Kendra dan mendapati wanita itu hilang tiba tiba entah kemana..mustahil kalau wanita itu terjun dari penthousenya di lantai 20.. 'magic.. Wanita itu memiliki sihir' gumamnya.
Lalu tiba tiba terdengar suara disekeliling Hunter... 'Ingat Hunter kau hanya punya waktu 2 bulan sebelum kelopak bunga mawar ditanganmu berjatuhan hingga habis,kau harus menemukan seseorang yang mencintaimu dengan tulus...atau kau selamanya seperti itu' suara yang menggema disekeliling Hunter itu tiba tiba menghilang.
To be Continued....
