Tum Bas Mere Ho

“If you want me to keep your secret, you have to do one thing for me in exchange,” he said, his lips curled up slightly. “What thing?” Aurora narrowed her eyes, alarmed at the direction of the conversation. “Never never share the same bed with my brother,” he demanded, his alpha dominance rolling off him in waves, making her want to bare her neck for submission. But Aurora straightened her back and challenged him head-on. “Why? I’m his wife,” Aurora stated with a neutral expression on her face. She and her husband were a fake couple, but he didn’t have to know that. The fewer people who knew, the more favorable the situation was to her. “I’m supposed to…” “You are mine!” he released a deep guttural growl. The possessiveness shown in his words and eyes made Aurora both startled and baffled. He stalked to her in calculated steps, his eyes glinting with a deep well of want and desire under the moonlight. Aurora started to retreat cautiously until her back hit a hard wall. In a flash, he was in front of her, his arms resting on the wall beside her head, caging her. He was so close to her. Too close. His lips almost touched hers. A smell mixed of rain and pine forests invaded her nose, making her dizzy. Her wolf perked up. Aurora quickly cleared her senses. “I’m nobody’s woman,” she declared, locking eyes with him. But she quickly regretted it because who wouldn’t lose herself in a pair of deep blue ocean-like eyes on a face carved out by the Moon Goddess herself? “Want a bet?” he smirked, “One day you will be mine.” The audacity of him!

Setelah cinta pertamanya meninggal, Richard Starling membenciku selama sepuluh tahun. Aku berusaha bersikap baik padanya, namun ia hanya mencibir dingin, “Kalau kau benar-benar ingin menyenangkan hatiku, lebih baik kau mati saja.” Hati ini terasa perih, namun saat truk besar melaju ke arahku, justru dia yang mati berlumuran darah demi menyelamatkanku. Menjelang ajalnya, ia menatapku dalam-dalam dan berkata, “Andai saja... aku tak pernah bertemu denganmu.” Di pemakamannya, ibu mertuaku menangis pilu. “Seharusnya dulu aku merestui Richard dan Michelle, bukan memaksanya menikah denganmu!” Ayah mertuaku memandangku dengan penuh kebencian. “Richard telah menyelamatkanmu tiga kali. Dia orang sebaik itu, kenapa bukan kau saja yang mati!” Semua orang menyesal karena Richard menikah denganku, bahkan aku pun demikian. Aku diusir dari pemakaman dalam keadaan hampa dan kehilangan arah. Tiga tahun kemudian, mesin waktu akhirnya ditemukan, dan aku kembali ke masa lalu. Kali ini, aku memilih untuk memutuskan segala takdirku dengan Richard, demi memenuhi semua yang mereka inginkan.

It was the thirtieth anniversary of my alma mater, and I had been invited back to give a speech. But as I stepped on stage, my husband's illegitimate son rushed toward me, brandishing a knife. His accusations rang through the hall: I was a homewrecker, the woman who had driven his mother to her death. He went even further, kidnapping my daughter and threatening her safety unless I publicly read a letter of confession. I was beaten to within an inch of my life, my body battered and bruised. I demanded my husband come forward and confront the truth. Instead, he turned on me. "I was forced to be with you in the first place!" my husband spat, venom dripping from every word. "You're the real mistress!"

Sahabat wanita suamiku memutuskan untuk tinggal bersama kami saat dia tahu kami akan pindah ke rumah baru. Aku keberatan, namun suamiku langsung menyetujuinya. Tidak hanya itu, dia bahkan memberikan kamar anak peremuan kami kepada wanita itu dan anaknya, lalu menyuruh putriku pindah ke gudang. Aku tidak terima, namun dia bilang, “Jangan salah paham! Dewi hanya sahabat baikku, anaknya sudah kuanggap seperti anak kandungku, wajar ‘kan kalau aku pengen mereka tinggal di kamar yang lebih layak?” Aku tetap tidak setuju, sehingga suamiku dan keluarganya menyalahkanku dan bilang aku egois. Akhirnya, aku memutuskan untuk meninggalkan rumah itu bersama anak perempuanku. Saat itulah mereka panik dan sadar kalau mereka butuh aku.

I loved and followed him around like a puppy for eight years until finally he noticed me. Hearing him ask me to be his wife was a dream come true. A fairytale. Or so I thought. Three years of marriage meant nothing to Nash. After trying everything I could to make him love me, I realized she never left his heart and was merely with me because I was a Callahan and that came with power. Because one night, he returned home with his first love and their son. My world shattered in silence, every dream I held onto crashing and burning to ashes. Sidelined and forced to watch him shower her with love and tenderness, I had no choice but to divorce him. “Why don’t you go back to your brother? He has always shielded you and would cut Nash to pieces if he knew what he had done,” My best friend told me. She was right. My brother loved me more than life. Growing up, I was his little angel who never lacked anything. But foolishly, I betrayed him once, and nothing has been the same between us since. What I didn’t know was…he never left. He had been watching over me all along. I planned to fix things and do right by him. Even with my ex-husband crawling back in regret and tears, I was sure I was going to make the choice I should have made eight years ago. The right one, but I must be cursed because I end up falling for another man I can never have. We love each other, but Society forbids it, and if what we do behind closed doors goes out there, it will ruin us. Will I lose him, too, or will we risk it all?

Cinta itu buta, ya mungkin itu adalah istilah yang tepat untuk menggambarkan perasaan cinta kakaknya Zahra pada istrinya. Dika begitu mencintai Sinta walaupun sikap dan perilaku Sinta yang pemalas, suka memerintah, dan semena-mena pada Bu Ami yang merupakan mertuanya, sekaligus Ibu dari Dika dan Zahra. Dika akan tetap membela Sinta walaupun sebenarnya Sinta sudah melakukan kesalahan. Ibu Ami menganggap Sinta sudah seperti anak sendiri. Tetapi Sinta dengan teganya berbuat semena-mena pada Bu Ami. Bu Ami selalu sabar menghadapi perlakuan Sinta padanya, tetapi Zahra sebagai seorang anak tak terima jika ibunya diperlakukan seperti pembantu oleh Sinta. Bagaimana Zahra akan membela ibunya dari sikap semena-mena kakak iparnya?

Ang mga magulang ko, ang pinakamayaman na magkasintahan sa bansa, ay sikat na mga pilantropo. Kailangan ko hingin ang permiso nila kung kailangan ko gumastos ng higit pa sa limang dolyar. Sa araw na nadiagnose ako ng terminal cancer, humingi ako ng 100 dolyar, pero sa halip na tulungan ako, sinigawan nila ako ng tatlong oras. “Anong klaseng sakit ang makukuha mo sa edad mo? Kung hihingi ka lang ng pera, galingan mo naman sa palusot mo.” “Alam mo ba na ang 100 dolyar ay kayang suportahan ang mga bata sa naghihirap na mga lugar ng matagal na panahon? Mas may sense pa kausap ang kapatid mo kaysa sa iyo.” Kinaladkad ko ang katawan ko na may sakit pabalik sa maliit na basement. Pero noong dumaan ako sa mall, nakita ko ang mga magulang ko, live sa malaking screen, gumagastos ng malaking yaman para lang rentahan ang Disneyland para sa kapatid ko. Ang isang daang dolyar ay hindi sapat para sa isang round ng chemotherapy. Gusto ko lang bumili ng bagong damit at lisanin ang mundo ng may dignidad.
