Karma

[Rendezvous = Pertemuan] — Mungkin pepatah mengatakan 'Dunia itu sempit seperti daun kelor' benar adanya. Semesta juga memiliki macam-macam karma yang membuat banyak orang terkadang menyesali apa yang ia katakan ataupun lakukan. Tapi banyak juga yang mengatakan Karma itu indah dan Pertemuan juga indah. Tapi sepertinya tidak berlaku bagi wanita berumur 25 tahun itu. Meski tak sebenci dulu, namun pertemuan dengan pria berumur terpaut lumayan jauh itu menjuluki bahwa pertemuan tersial yang ia temui. Apalagi pertemuan buruk ditambah karma buruk pula, nyatanya ia harus terjebak dengan pria tersebut dalam jangka waktu tidak bisa ditentukan. — "Bapak tu kenapa kalo sama saya sensi terus? Heran saya." "Saya penasaran kenapa kamu benci saya." Written by mochachash

Walter planned sixty-six proposal trips just to win me over. On the sixty-seventh, I finally said yes. The day after our wedding, I gave him sixty-six "forgiveness cards." We made a deal: every time he upset me, he could use one to earn my forgiveness. Over six years of marriage, every time he made me angry because of his childhood friend Janet, Walter would hand me a card. By the time he used the sixty-fourth, he began to sense something was off. I no longer reminded him to keep his distance. I no longer needed him the way I used to. However, the last time he left me behind for Janet, I reached out, stopped him, and asked: "If you go to her again… can I still forgive you with one of these cards?" He paused mid-step and looked at me, half helpless, half amused. "If you want to use one, use it. You've got plenty left, don't you?" I gave a small nod and watched him walk away. He still thought those forgiveness cards would never run out. What he did not know was— There was only one left.

Just because I ate one chicken leg more than my brother, my father kicked me out of the house in the middle of a snowstorm. Later on, my father of an archeologist dug up my body.

"I'll build you thousands of empires and mansions, adore you with precious pieces of jewelry, you will be the only known queen of this ruthless man," Azrael Thorn Execroz whispered words that marked Andromeda's heart. His minty breath lingers in her senses, particularly in her nose. She wanted to be consumed by the fire of his heart, deep until they can no longer grasp for air. His shoulder shuddered in the darkness, while his body remains to cage the woman who captivated his iron heart. "Azrael..." she said softly with her heart beating erratically. "I...I don't desire your wealth nor your heart," she replied, slightly shivering. She was lying to the young man but mostly to herself. "Then what do you want?" he replied with his eyes beginning to shine as the tears warn to fall. He is breaking. "Let me leave," Andromeda spoke, each word like an arrow piercing through his heart. Sliding her right arm to his chest, she tiptoed momentarily to whisper what ended them. "Free me." And with that, the mighty and dignified Azrael Execroz felt his world crumble into small shards of glass. She tamed him. She was his escape. His solace. And now, she's gone.
