karma

To save my husband, I drank until my stomach bled. Despite making it to the hospital, no one would treat me—all because he, a prominent surgeon, forbade anyone from attending to his own wife. In a previous life, he had saved me, a deed that fate cruelly repaid: the same day he saved me, his beloved, Lily Evans, tragically died during surgery. Consumed by regret, he lamented, "If I hadn't saved you, she might still be alive." On my birthday, in a twisted celebration, he intoxicated both me and our daughter. In a horrifying turn, he used his surgical skills to ruthlessly stab us both. As I lay bleeding, I begged for our daughter's life, pleading with him to spare her, his biological child. He coldly justified his brutality by claiming that being tied to me caused him to miss his chance with his true love. Fueled by a desperate need to protect my daughter, I fought him ferociously. He inflicted thirty-eight merciless wounds on me before turning his murderous intent towards our child. As I faced death, my last sight was of him, his decision clear as he once again chose his lost love over his living family.

Her whole life she had been called beautiful. Glances and envious eyes were always cast her way. But never had Bathsheba expected to catch the eye of her King. And never in her wildest imaginings did she anticipate the tragedy it would wreak.

The boy, George Larson, whom I once saved as a child, when he was struggling with asthma, repaid my kindness by imprisoning me for seven long years. "Luna, you're my everything. I won’t let you out of my sight," he said, his voice filled with obsession. He tied my hands and feet, keeping me bound to the bed like a helpless doll, but I did not love him; I wanted to escape. In his madness, he set fire to my family’s ancestral home. The last traces of the Sachs burned to ashes, disappearing into the wind. He said that since my home was gone, I could just live with him and that it would be my new home. However, because I refused to let him touch me, he found someone else—a girl with a beauty mark under her eye, just like mine. The girl, drunk on his affection, thought I was trying to imitate her by faking the same tear-shaped mark. In a fit of jealousy, she gouged out my eyes. My face was covered with tiny, bleeding holes, blood streaming down my body. When George came home, the girl gleefully stuffed me into a trash bag, proud of her handiwork. “George, look! I caught some trash that broke into the house!” George did not even glance at me. He just loosened his tie, his voice calm and detached. “Just toss it where trash belongs.”

Rumah ini dulunya dihuni oleh Rarashati dan ibunya, Nyai Romlah. Pasca Nyai Romlah meninggal, tinggallah si Rara di rumah ini sendirian. Sayang seribu sayang. Sebulan setelah kematian ibunya, Rara juga meninggal. Tidak ada yang tahu pasti apa penyebab kematiannya. Namun, semua penduduk meyakini dia meninggal karena kesepian dan putus asa. Memang tidak ada ditemukan tindak kekerasan di tubuhnya. Hanya saja ada yang aneh ketika dia dimandikan. Perutnya terlihat membuncit. Padahal tubuhnya kurus kering. Semua orang mengira mungkin Rara mengidap busung lapar. Sehingga abai dengan perihal tersebut. Sampai akhirnya sehari setelah dikubur, warga yang melintas di kuburan baru tersebut mendengar tangisan bayi. Mengeak-ngeak di malam buta. Mereka bergegas ke arah sumber suara. Mendapati kuburan seperti habis diacak-acak. Seolah-olah ada yang keluar dari dalam lubang. Parahnya, mayat Rarashati terlihat menggantung di dahan pohon beringin yang menaungi kuburan tersebut. Tanpa kain kafan, tanpa sehelai benang pun menutupi tubuh telanjangnya. Dan yang paling mengherankan, dia memeluk sesosok bayi yang sedang menyusu kepadanya.

My husband's first love jumped to her death due to depression and landed right on me as I was passing by. I was rendered unconscious on the spot and subsequently rushed to the ICU. However, my orthopedic surgeon husband stayed by his first love's side to comfort her over her minor scratches. He even refused to sign my Critical Care Notification. "Whoever joined her charade can get lost along with her! Come to me when she's really dead!" he said. It wasn't until he received a death certificate that he realized in horror—the deceased's information was identical to mine.

My husband, once a powerful CEO, had become bankrupt and sank into depression. Overnight, I went from being the wife of a CEO to a lowly worker. To help him pay off his debts and cover the costs of his depression treatment, I took a job as a hostess at an auction house. However, I never expected to see my husband there, who should've been in the hospital undergoing therapy, sitting in the VIP section. Without any hesitation, he bid on an exorbitantly priced necklace and gave it to the woman beside him. That necklace—the one I had pawned to pay off his debts—was my grandmother's heirloom.
