Digenggamnya beberapa koin uang yang tersisa.
Sejak perceraian orang tuanya, masa kecil Audrey hanya penuh dengan pemandangan suram. Sang ayah terjatuh dalam jurang depresi. Setiap hari dia berangkat bekerja sebagai buruh pabrik dan meninggalkan Audrey sendirian di rumah. Upah buruh yang tidak seberapa selalu habis untuk biaya makan dan mabuk-mabukan Arman, tidak jarang Arman menjual barang-barang rumah demi bisa mabuk. Audrey pun harus bertahan di rumah yang berdinding tambalan kayu yang saat hujan akan bocor dan saat musim salju selalu ada banyak arang yang terbakar di setiap penjuru tempat karena tidak ada penghangat ruangan. Audrey sangat marah. Namun, dia tidak bisa membenci sikap ayahnya setelah mendengar cerita dari banyak orang bahwa Arman berubah menjadi pemabuk semenjak ditinggal oleh isterinya yang berselingkuh. Menyedihkannya sejak Audrey menginjak usia lima belas tahun, Arman mulai berhenti bekerja karena terkena kanker. Sehingga, ketika Audrey lulus sekolah SMA, dia harus banting tulang menerima pekerjaan apapun untuk menggantikan peran ayahnya agar bisa bertahan hidup dan mencari biaya pengobatan. Satu tahun setelah Audrey lulus sekolah, kini keadaan Arman semakin parah dan tidak lagi bisa hanya meminum obat di rumah. “Keadaan ayah Anda semakin memburuk, namun biaya untuk kemoterapi cukup banyak, pihak rumah sakit tidak dapat memberi keringanan lagi,” ucap seorang perawat, “Untuk melakukan beberapa kali kemoterapi dan biaya lainnya, kemungkinan Anda butuh seratus ribu dollar.” Audrey terhenyak kaget, darimana dia bisa mendapatkan uang sebesar itu? “Apa dengan kemoterapi, ayah saya bisa sembuh?” tanya Audrey. “Ya, ada banyak pasien yang bersih dari kanker setelah kemoterapi.” Audrey mengusap sikunya dengan tangan yang berkeringat dingin. “Tolong lakukan yang terbaik untuk ayah saya, saya akan mengusahakan semua biayanya,” pinta Audrey dengan suara bergetar menahan tangisan. “Waktu Anda hanya tinggal dua hari lagi Nona Audrey. Hubungilah kerabat Anda agar bisa mereka bisa membantu.” “Saya akan mengusahakannya,” jawab Audrey penuh keyakinan saat itu. Tapi, kini Audrey putus asa. Seluruh kenalan dan kerabat Arman yang ditelpon untuk meminta pertolongan–menyatakan bahwa mereka tidak bisa. Tes! Gerimis mulai turun, membawa kilauan cahaya di bawah terangnya lampu jalanan. Wajah Audrey terangkat, matanya berkaca-kaca menahan tangisan putus asanya, tidak tahu harus kemana lagi kini dia meminta pertolongan. Dikeluarkannya buku kecil dari saku jaketnya yang lusuh, melihat satu-satunya nomer telepon yang belum dia coba hubungi, yaitu ibunya. Sejak ditinggal pergi bercerai, wanita itu sama sekali belum pernah datang berkunjung menemui Audrey, bahkan sekadar menanyakan kabar. Sejujurnya, Audrey sama sekali tidak pernah tahu seperti apa kehidupan ibu dan kembarannya sekarang. Begitupun dengan rupa ibunya yang telah tidak ada lagi dalam ingatan. Apakah bisa, kini Audrey menghubunginya untuk meminta tolong? Setelah cukup lama mempertimbangkannya dalam perenungan, Audrey masuk ke dalam ruang telepon umum lagi dan memasukan koin-koin terakhir yang dia miliki, mengharapkan bantuan ditengah keputus asaannya. Suara deringan telepon yang tersambung terdengar. Audrey menantinya sambil merapalkan do’a, berharap ibunya bersedia membantunya. “Hallo,” suara seorang wanita terdengar dibalik telepon. Bibir Audrey bergetar, beberapa kali dengan mengatur napas untuk mengumpulkan keberanian berbicara, “Saya ingin berbicara dengan Nyonya Salma.” “Saya Salma, Anda siapa?” Audrey meringis, menekan dadanya yang berdebar kencang menyadari bahwa itu suara ibunya yang selama ini tidak pernah diketahui. “Sa saya Audrey, adik Aurelie.” Hening…. Salma tidak memberikan reaksi apapun dibalik teleponnya setelah tahu dia berbicara dengan Audrey, kembarannya Aurelie. “Kebetulan sekali, bagaimana kabarmu Audrey?” tanya Salma setelah cukup lama diam. Audrey mengusap sudut bibirnya tidak kuasa menahan tangisan yang sudah mendesak. “Saya baik-baik saja, ta tapi ayah sakit,” jawabnya terbata. “Kau butuh bantuan?” tanya Salma langsung menyadarinya. Audrey terdiam sejenak, menggenggam erat gagang telepon. “Jika Ibu berkenan, saya ingin meminta tolong kepada Ibu,” jawab Audrey tidak membuang waktu, itu koin terakhirnya dan dia tidak bisa menghubungi Salma lagi jika waktunya telah habis. “Jadi apa yang kau butuhkan?” Audrey tercekat kaget mendengar tanggapan ibunya yang begitu cepat menjawab tanpa meminta banyak kepastian apakah Audrey jujur atau berbohong. Beberapa kali Audrey mengatur napasnya, mengumpulkan keberanian untuk berkata, “Saya butuh seratus ribu dollar untuk ayah kemoterapi,” jawab Audrey terbata. “Itu uang yang cukup besar, kau bisa mendapatkannya asal bersedia memenuhi satu syarat.” Tanggapan baik Salma yang langsung bersedia membantu meski harus syarat, sedikitpun tidak memunculkan kecurigaan, justru membangkitkan harapan Audrey untuk bisa memperjuangkan kesembuhan ayahnya. “Syarat apa yang harus saya penuhi?” tanya Audrey dengan penuh semangat.Apapun akan dia lakukan jika itu bisa membuat ayahnya kemoterapi dan sembuh dari sakitnya.
Mungkin, Tuhan menjawab doanya lewat sang ibu?
The next morning, Lydia woke up by Carson's side. She had a beautiful and joyful smile on her lips. Waking up by his side was the most amazing thing ever, and the scent of cologne was still on him. She brought her nose close to his chest and nuzzled him. Lydia grinned and raised her hand, she stared at the beautiful ring. “My name is Mrs. Lydia Walters' Lydia chuckled and kissed her ring. “It's so beautiful.” She was still staring at her ring when she suddenly had the urge to vomit, she touched her stomach as it churned. “Did I eat something wrong yesterday? Lydia pouted her lips. The nauseating feeling stopped for a while, but then the bile rushed up her throat and she couldn't keep it in. She rushed out of the bed and threw up into the sink. The sounds of vomiting woke Carson up. He wanted to sleep back but realized something was wrong with his wife. He sat up and rubbed his eyes. He asked her, worriedly. “Love, are you alright?” He still heard her throwing up and had to
All Lydia's troubles were over the moment George died. Lydia watched all her problems disappear, she was finally free to be happy with the man she loved. That was supposed to be the happiest day of her life, but presently staring at the mirror and seeing how beautiful she was in that wedding dress. It became one of the happiest days of her life. Two weeks had passed since George's death, he wasn't the only one paying for his crimes because Alma was facing the penalty for her actions, her father, Felix, had been disqualified from the election and would be spending some good time in prison. Marian, who had been long forgotten, was finally sentenced to prison. It seemed like all her enemies had disappeared. Lydia smiled at the mirror and spun around, she looked like the most beautiful bride ever. She didn't have a veil, but it didn't make the dress less beautiful. “Lydia, you're so gorgeous” Mrs. Isobel gushed over her wedding dress. Lydia couldn't help but be grateful to Mrs. Isob
Carson turned back with a little smile on his lips, his threats had worked. He wasn't planning on doing any of those things he said, but he decided to act as one of the bad guys. One can't stick to a technique and tactic all the time. Carson returned to his seat and called a prison warder inside to listen to what he had said. Carson also brought out his phone and decided to make a recording. “Can you repeat what you had said?” Carson requested. The man sighed and said everything that had transpired between him and Alma. Carson was delighted and left from there as the warder was taken away. He was going to face his penalty. Carson contacted the police to visit George's house where Alma stayed and also to arrest Felix in his house. Carson planned on also releasing the recording through his Father's connections. It would be anonymous and would ruin Felix's chances of becoming the governor. Carson was excited about his plans but would execute them after they were both arrested fo
George had killed a man, strangled him during the traffic, and taken his cab as a means of transportation. Presently, he walked to Mrs. Isobel's limp body and carried her into the back seat of the cab. He closed the door and entered the front seat. He wasn't ready to drive her anywhere in particular, he would make sure that he was far from a place where the cops could find him. He would question her in the car, but he had to wait till she awakened. He had planned to lie to Alma that he couldn't stand the boredom and had to leave the cabin. Anyway, she believed every lie he spoke.George drove for a long while before parking near a certain roadside, he waited till she awakened, which happened a few minutes after the drive. “Hm,” Mrs. Isobel moaned in pain. She felt a pounding pain in the back of her head, her hand reached for it and there was a little bloodstain. “Oh my God” She cried and slowly sat up, her blurry eyes cleared little by little. “Who are you?” Mrs. Isobel asked i

Hastily, Lydia rushed to the door, locked and went back to him. They kissed and couldn't get enough of each other. He pulled her much closer, and Lydia knelt in between his parted legs.
