Se connecterChristy thought her boyfriend was just nonchalant and unromantic person, but a text and a photo sent by an anonymous changed everything. That was when she realised, she was never the one in his heart, but he had been leading her all along. This shattered her completely, and she couldn't get over being hurt and her trust brutally bruised. In anger, she made his grandfather who was in his mid-sixties fall in love with her. "You don't mean it, Christy right? My grandfather is too old and weak for you, I know you are mad at me for cheating and deceiving you, end this wedding, I will marry you" Franklin proposed, his face creased with frustration. His grandfather Winchester said "Kid, our wedding is already fixed" Then Christy raised her eyebrow and said "What makes you think marrying your grandfather because of you?" Franklin retorted "If I didn't cheat on you, would you have?" Christy beamed and then said in response "If you had not cheated on me, I would have been blind and still stick to you, but you opened my eyes and I realise the man for me, and he is your grandfather, I love him and I will marry him" "My girlfriend can't become my step-grandmother!" Franklin yelled aggressively.

Menangkupkan kedua tangannya. Gadis yang aneh menurut Haidar karena dia sudah bersikap acuh padanya. Namun, dia tetap bersikap sebaliknya.
Haidar baru saja ditetapkan sebagai ketua umum komisariat organisasi ekstra di fakultasnya. Dia mengalahkan gadis yang memberinya selamat tadi. Sebenarnya, rasa kagum terhadap gadis itu telah menghampiri hatinya. Namun, sisi egois seorang laki-laki telah mengalahkan semua perasaan pada sang gadis. Sikap lelaki yang tak bisa dikalahkan oleh seorang perempuan telah mengakar kuat dalam hatinya. Bagaimana tidak, jika setiap mata kuliah yang diambil oleh Haidar nilainya selalu dibawah sang gadis. Bahkan pemilihan ketua senat kemarin, dia juga dikalahkan olehnya. "Ya, terima kasih. Selamat juga buat kamu." Memandang sinis pada sang gadis, lalu pergi begitu saja. Melewatinya tanpa ucapan salam perpisahan. Selalu saja, hati dan perilakunya tak selaras terhadap sang gadis. Gadis itu bukan tak mengerti arti tatapan sinis Haidar, tetapi dia sengaja mengabaikan semua. Sudah terlalu sering dia mendapat pandangan sinis dari Haidar. Namun, dia tak pernah menggubris semua itu, baginya menjalin sebanyak mungkin pertemanan jauh lebih baik daripada pusing memikirkan sikap sinis Haidar. Nyatanya, sikap humble yang dia tawarkan tak mampu meluluhkan hati Haidar. "Hei! Lagi ngelamunin apa sih? Segitunya ngeliat ketum baru. Jangan katakan kamu naksir dia?" celetuk salah satu sahabat gadis itu. "Ish, amit-amit kalau aku sampai naksir cowok kayak dia." Ia mengepalkan tangan kanan kemudian memukulkan pada keningnya sendiri beberapa kali.Seolah-olah apa yang diperbuatnya bisa menghindari perkataan sahabatnya tadi.
Suara tawa sontak terdengar dari keduanya.
"Emang aneh dia. Kalau sama kamu juteknya minta ampun, tapi sama yang lain kok dia ramah banget, ya. Curiga nih, jadinya? Jangan ... jangan ...," ucapnya menggoda. Cubitan keras akhirnya melayang di lengan sahabatnya itu. "Aduh, ampun! Sakit, Ima, sayang." "Makanya, kalau ngomong yang bener! Awas, sekali lagi aku dengar kayak tadi! Gak bakal mau aku jadi sahabatmu," ancam Hazimah. Mereka masih terus tertawa mengingat percakapannya. Perbincangan dua sahabat itu sebenarnya tertangkap oleh indra pendengaran Haidar, tetapi dia acuh saja.Dalam hatinya, ada rasa bahagia seandainya hal yang diungkap sahabat Hazimah itu benar adanya.
Namun entah mengapa setiap percakapan yang melibatkan mereka berdua, Haidar senantiasa menampakkan rasa sinis dan benci terhadap Hazimah.Haidar tahu perbuatannya itu akan menyakiti gadis itu, tetapi dia tidak bisa bersikap manis padanya seperti pada teman-temannya yang lain.
Dan Haidar menelan pil pahit itu sekarag.
Duduk termenung di sebuah kafe, Haidar mencoba menikmati rinai hujan yang turun ditemani secangkir coffelatte.
Salahkah jika pria itu masih berharap suatu keajaiban akan mempertemukannya dengan perempuan yang selama ini tak pernah diumbar namanya. Namun, selalu ia sematkan dalam bait-bait doa di sepertiga malamnya.
Berharap Rabbnya menuliskan dan menakdirkan Hazimah menjadi pendamping hidupnya.
Haidar mulai menyesali apa yang telah dilakukannya pada gadis itu.Menyimpan cinta sendiri ternyata tak semudah bayangannya.
Lima tahun sudah berlalu, tetapi perasaannya masih sama.
Namun perbincangan dengan sang ibu membuatnya bimbang. "Le, kowe ngenteni opo meneh, tho. (Nak, kamu nunggu apalagi). Umurmu wis cukup gawe omah-omah (Usiamu sudah cukup untuk berumah tangga). Opo ra mesakne Bunda (apa gak kasihan Bunda)? Ayahmu wis sedo, mengko lak Bunda keburu sedo pisan, piye (sekarang Ayah sudah meninggal, nanti jika Bunda meninggal juga, bagaimana)?" ucap Bunda Haidar. Satu titik bening siap terjatuh dari kelopak mata bundanya. Tangan kanannya diletakkan di atas tangan kiri Haidar. Tangan kirinya mengusap lengan putranya, seolah berkata mengertilah posisi Bunda saat ini."Pun ngoten, Bun (jangan begitu, Bun)." Semua kata sanggahan untuk menolak bundanya serasa tercekat di tenggorokan Haidar. Bagaimana dia harus mengucap keberatan hatinya? Jika melihat kesedihan pada paras bundanya saja dia sudah kesakitan.
"Awakmu kie wis ngerti yen Bunda sakit-sakitan. Bunda mung pingin sak durunge sedo ndeleng awakmu omah-omah (kamu sudah tahu keadaan Bunda yang sakit-sakitan. Bunda cuma ingin melihat kamu berumah tangga sebelum Bunda meninggal)." Bulir-bulir bening itu telah jatuh mengaliri pipi bundanya, kala dia mengatakan hal itu.
Haidar, hanya mampu terdiam seribu bahasa melihat bundanya. Wajahnya dia palingkan agar tak melihat tangisan orang sangat dicintainya itu karena jauh di sana, hatinya, lebih sakit melihat keadaan ini. Tak disangka, diamnya itu dianggap sebagai jawaban iya oleh sang Bunda.
Tanpa mengikutsertakannya dalam penyampaian niat tersebut, wanita yang dihormatinya itu telah berkunjung ke rumah sang gadis bersama kakak iparnya.
Sekarang apa yang harus dia lakukan?
At dawn the next day, Oliver picked up the freshly printed wedding invitations. Excitement surged through him. Instead of heading straight to his own office, he drove first to his company’s headquarters and went directly to Jayden’s office. Without knocking, he burst in.“I’m also getting married tonight. You’re invited,” he announced.He slapped the invitation card onto Jayden’s desk. Seeing the shock on Jayden’s face instantly lifted Oliver’s mood; it felt like payback for the way Jayden had blindsided him with his own wedding invitation.Grinning in satisfaction, Oliver turned on his heel and walked out of the office, then headed straight to his car and drove to Lara’s workplace.When he arrived, he knocked on her office door.“Come in,” Lara called.The moment she raised her head and saw him, her expression darkened. “Please leave. You’re not welcome here,” she said coldly.Oliver didn’t respond. He simply walked up to her desk and placed the wedding invitation in front of her—dat
Jayden grinned and stretched out his hand, revealing a wedding invitation.The moment Oliver saw it, his face drained of color. Shock and disbelief crashed over him, leaving him rooted to the spot.Jayden chuckled. “This is yours. You’re welcome to our wedding.”Oliver couldn’t move. His limbs felt like stone, his body weak, his mind blank.Feeling triumphant, Jayden smirked, tossed the invitation at Oliver’s feet, and walked away.Oliver stared after him, dazed. By the time he snapped back to reality, Jayden had disappeared. With trembling fingers, he bent to pick up the card. His vision blurred and he blinked rapidly, his eyes skimming over the words again and again.“Three days from now…” He reread the date so many times it barely felt real.Panic seized him. He bolted out of the company, jumped into his car, and sped recklessly toward Lara’s house. When he arrived, he practically leapt out, rushing to her door. He knocked hard and jabbed the doorbell repeatedly, sweat beading on h
Oliver roared, “Fuck off! I will never forgive you. Dream on.”He spun around and stormed into his house. Martha jumped to her feet and ran after him, begging, “Please, I’m sorry, babe…”Oliver whirled back and pointed a finger at her. “Don’t ever call me babe. Don’t you dare. Don’t you ever try that shit again. You got that?”Tears filled Martha’s eyes. She rubbed her palms together, pleading. “Please… I’m begging you. Have mercy on me.”Oliver yanked his door open and slammed it shut in her face. He didn’t want to hear a single word from her. Martha stepped up to the door and knocked, but Oliver refused to open it.Crying against the door, she begged, “Oliver, please… can you hear me out?”Inside, Oliver uncapped a bottle of liquor, poured himself a glass, and downed it in one gulp. “Go away!” he shouted. “I don’t want to see you. I don’t want to hear your lies. All you do is lie to me. You’re a fucking liar! Don’t ever come near me. I hate you. I hate you!”Martha stayed at the doo
Oliver turned without another word and headed for his car. Jayden watched him leave, eyes bloodshot, his expression ice-cold.“You shouldn’t have fought him,” Lara said quietly. “That’s what he wanted all along, and you walked right into it.”“I don’t give a fuck what his plan is,” Jayden snapped. “Anyone who thinks he can take my girl has to go through me first. Him showing up at your house? I’m not letting that slide. If I see his sorry ass here again, I’m fighting him.”Lara’s shoulders slumped. “I don’t want you to fight him,” she said, disappointment clear in her voice. “I don’t want to be the reason you get hurt. Watching him punch you because of me… it broke my heart. Please, don’t fight him.”Jayden clenched his fists and pressed his lips together, refusing to answer.Lara stepped closer until she stood right in front of him. She cupped his face in her hands, forcing him to meet her gaze.“Promise me you won’t fight him next time,” she whispered.Jayden stayed silent. The hard
The moment Oliver walked in, the office fell abruptly silent. His gossiping colleagues snapped their mouths shut and suddenly found reasons to look busy. Without a word, he headed straight for his office.When closing time finally came, he locked up in a hurry and stepped out, heart thudding with a
Jayden was already annoyed by the aggressive way Oliver had approached him. He leaned back, his expression cold, and asked, “Why are you so interested in knowing?”Oliver clenched his jaw and glared at him before answering. “I’m just curious. Lara acted like I was her whole world when we were toget
When Lara got home, she couldn’t eat. She kept glancing at her phone and staring blankly at the television until sleep finally pulled her under.The next morning, she woke up exhausted by what her relationship had become. She called Oliver.It took five tries before he answered. “Babe, I’m heading
Sheila shook her head, then reached out and grabbed his arm. “Let’s go in,” she said.Kant didn’t think much of it. He was thrilled to show Sheila off to his family. He opened the door and stepped inside with Sheila clinging to his arm.The moment Sheila saw the elderly couple on the couch and Kell
