Ver más"Oh, jadi kamu Syakila? Si perempuan kampung yang bermimpi jadi istri adikku?"
Deg!Baru saja tiba di restoran yang dimaksud sang kekasih untuk bertemu keluarga pria itu, Syakila justru disambut sinis dua perempuan asing dalam balutan kebaya.“Maaf, kalian–”“Ck! Aku Yumna, kakak Kamil, dan ini Jasmin adik Kamil," potong wanita berkebaya cream itu lalu tertawa merendahkan."Jas, panggil Mama. Tamu spesialnya udah dateng," perintah Yumna lagi–masih membiarkan Syakila berdiri di ambang pintu masuk restoran.Beribu tanya sontak berkecamuk di benak Syakila. Dia memang belum dikenalkan pada keluarga Kamil. Tapi, pria itu mengatakan bahwa hari ini keluarganya mengundang Syakila. Lantas, mengapa mereka justru memperlakukannya seperti ini?"Mana gadis kampung itu?"Sebuah suara terdengar dari arah belakang, membuat Syakila tersadar dari lamunan.Dia mendapati seorang wanita paruh baya yang juga mengenakan kebaya tengah berdiri congkak. Tak hanya itu, dia berjalan diikuti Kamil yang diapit lengannya oleh seorang wanita berkebaya persis seperti kakak dan adik Kamil.Mereka nampak kompak memakai seragam…."Ini, Ma. Wanita udik yang suka halu!" ujar Yumna tiba-tiba.Wanita paruh baya itu lantas menatap Syakila dari atas ke bawah dengan tajam. "Dengarkan saya baik-baik, ya, gadis kampung! Anak saya Kamil, sudah bertunangan dengan perempuan berkelas bernama Dela. Itu dia orangnya."Ditunjuknya perempuan cantik yang sejak tadi mengapit lengan lelaki itu.Melihat itu, hati Syakila berdenyut nyeri.Belum habis keterkejutannya bertemu saudara Kamil, kini harus diberi kejutan lainnya yang lebih menyakitkan."Kamu jangan pernah ganggu anak saya lagi, ya! Dia sudah bahagia bersama wanita yang tepat dan sepadan. Bukan wanita kampung tak berpendidikan seperti kamu. Jangan pernah mimpi menjadi bagian keluargaku. Kamu gak pantas dan gak level dengan kami! Ngerti kamu!" Jari mama Kamil menunjuk-nunjuk wajah Syakila yang sudah menyedihkan.Para tamu yang hadir pun mengerumuni Syakila.Sembari berbisik-bisik, mereka menertawakannya yang tengah mendapat ultimatum dari keluarga Kamil.Menahan embun di matanya, Syakila menatap Kamil.Namun, pria itu yang hanya diam ketika dirinya menjadi bahan olokan dari keluarganya di depan orang banyak.Padahal, Syakila begitu tulus dan berkorban menemaninya dari nol. Tak pernah ia permasalahkan Kamil yang numpang makan dua hari sekali atau meminjam uang Syakila kala pria itu masih pengangguran.Dan ketika pria itu sulit dihubungi, Syakila memberi ruang. Justru, pria itulah yang mengundangnya ke sini dan mengatakan akan meminta restu pada orang tuanya. Tapi, apa yang Syakila temukan?Mungkinkah Kamil juga ikut dalam rencana untuk mempermalukan dirinya?Seketika itu juga, Syakila tak mendengarkan lagi ucapan pedas yang dilontarkan mantan calon mertuanya itu.Berusaha tegar, ia berjalan mendekat pada Kamil dan tunangannya."Selamat, Mas. Semoga bahagia," ucapnya.Setelah itu, Syakila buru-buru membalikkan badan dan berjalan keluar restoran sembari mengelap kasar air yang tak berhenti mengalir dari matanya.Tangannya mengepal keras bersamaan sebuah tekad yang muncul.Akan diubahnya kehidupannya saat ini hingga mereka yang merendahkan tak lagi dapat mengenali Syakila si gadis kampung!“Suatu saat keluarga kalian akan menyesal,” lirihnya, pelan.Semenjak kejadian itu, Syakila melewati hari-harinya dengan bekerja siang dan malam.Jika diperbolehkan oleh pemilik kios di pasar–tempatnya bekerja–, mungkin Syakila akan bekerja 24 jam nonstop.Sayangnya, dia tidak diizinkan.Inilah yang membuat Syakila tersiksa. Di kala senggang, dia justru terbayang hinaan dan cinta palsu Kamil kembali.Entah bagaimana ceritanya, Syakila suatu hari iseng melakukan live di platform toktok sebelum kantuk menyerang.Ia tidak peduli ada yang menonton live-nya atau tidak. Baginya, yang terpenting adalah melakukan kegiatan untuk membunuh waktu.Gadis yang tinggal sendiri di kosan itu bisa menghabiskan waktu berjam-jam untuk live. Mulutnya akan terus berceloteh apa pun saat live.Entah itu sholawatan, nyanyi, bahkan bercerita tentang dongeng kancil dan harimau."Maaf ya kalau live aku acak-acakan. Namanya juga live random, jadi pembahasannya juga random," ucap Syakila sesaat sebelum live-nya berakhir.Terus begitu setiap malam selama berbulan-bulan.Siang hari, dia tetap bekerja di kios dan malamnya live di toktok.Perlahan, followers dan penonton live-nya mulai membludak. Namun, Syakila menganggap itu hanyalah bonus dari kegiatan iseng-isengnya."Ibu perhatikan, live kamu semakin ramai penonton, Sya," ucap Bu Sukoco–pemilik kios."Hah? Live apa, Bu?"Syakila pura-pura tidak tahu.Dia malu jika orang di sekitarnya tahu tentang dirinya yang hampir tiap malam live.Padahal saat melakukan itu, Syakila selalu memakai filter, berharap tak ada yang mengenali."Udah, jangan pura-pura nggak tahu. Ibu yang sering nyawer kamu di situ, lho."Syakila sontak menoleh ke arah bosnya. "Hah? Kok Ibu tahu kalau ..."As Seraphiel and Orionis floated into the sky, Orionis glanced at Seraphiel with curiosity. “Why didn’t you take away Damien’s powers? That was the price for Matilda’s life, wasn’t it?”Seraphiel smiled, his gaze fixed on the stars above. “I saw something in him. There’s no one more deserving of the title of the chosen one than Damien.”Orionis chuckled softly, nodding in agreement. “I suppose you’re right.”“Just don’t tell Astrid yet. I hate it when she’s right. She’ll rub it in my face.”With that, the two celestial beings ascended higher, their forms disappearing into the night sky, leaving behind only the faint shimmer of their presence.The wind was harsh against Damien’s face as he walked back home. The air heavy with the scent of rain. The sky was an inky black, clouds hanging low, blotting out the moon and stars. A faint drizzle started to fall, tapping lightly on the ground, and he pulled his coat higher on his shoulder. His boots crunched against the gravel as he strolled
The end?The family of four walked slowly through the familiar streets of Riverdale, but this time, it all felt different. The trees seemed taller, the air crisper, as if the town itself had transformed while they were gone. Claud glanced at the cobblestone streets, feeling a sense of nostalgia pull at him. It was as if each house they passed, each flower blooming in a neighbor’s yard, held a memory waiting to be rediscovered. Lupa’s hand brushed against his, her eyes flicking around, taking it all in with a quiet smile. They hadn’t been gone for long, not even up to a week but somehow, coming back made it feel like an eternity had passed.Damien, walking just behind them, was unusually silent. Normally full of chatter, he now took in everything with wide eyes, as if seeing their hometown for the first time. Clary had fallen behind to inspect a cluster of daisies on the roadside, twirling one between her fingers before skipping back to the group.When they finally reached the fami
The Challenge of the ChosenDay 4As dawn broke on the fourth day, the sun’s rays pierced through the thick canopy, casting dappled patterns on the forest floor. The air was crisp, and the sounds of chirping birds filled the space around them. They packed up their campsite, the smell of charred wood still lingering in the air, a remnant of the stories shared around the campfire.After a quick breakfast of rations, they set off once more, feeling a renewed sense of purpose. Wulfric led the way, his expression serious as he felt the shift in energy around them.“Today will be different,” he warned, his voice low. “The trials will test the chosen one in ways we haven’t encountered yet. The challenge ahead will require not just strength but also wisdom and courage.”“How do you know so much about the chosen one and these trials?” Damien asked.“I’ve been studying these things for a long time because I’ve always craved having a place that we wouldn’t have to hide but be free to be ourselv
Journey to the unknown IIDay 3The morning fog hung thickly in the air, enveloping the forest in an eerie shroud. Unlike the gentle morning mist that usually lifted with the sun, this fog felt heavy and charged with ancient energy, as if the very trees were watching them. Each footstep Damien took sank slightly into the ground, a reminder of the trials ahead, testing their resolve as they ventured deeper into the woods.He glanced at his companions. Claud moved ahead, ever vigilant, his sharp gaze scanning their surroundings. Tara walked closely beside him, her posture alert and tense.“This feels different today,” Damien muttered under his breath.“It is,” Wulfric replied, glancing back. “We’re getting close.”As they continued, the path twisted and changed, narrowing in some places while expanding in others, as though the forest was shifting to confuse them. The trees seemed almost alive, their bark rippling subtly, pulsating with a rhythm that hinted at something deeper below.“Ke
Journey to the unknown.Day 1The pack moved in near silence as they walked through the dense forest, the only sounds being the crunch of leaves beneath their boots and the occasional rustle of branches in the wind. The forest was alive with the sounds of nocturnal creatures, though none seemed to dra
ReunionsDamien moved through the dense forest, his footsteps muffled by the thick bed of leaves underfoot. The trees stood tall and imposing around him, their branches twisting like gnarled fingers above his head. Sunlight flickered through the canopy, casting scattered patches of light that danced
Hovering above him, Damien loomed closer, his eyes glowing brighter with every second, his chest heaving with the intensity of his anger. Stephan spat blood onto the ground, a faint smile curling on his lips despite the pain. “I guess… anger really does take a werewolf’s power to the next level,” h
Phase Three II Matilda soared through the sky, her heart pounding as she pushed herself to fly faster. The wind whipped through her hair, but her mind was focused on one thing: the Eldershard crystal. It was the key to everything—the only thing that could stop Stephan from carrying out his plan.
