She was in it, to escape a forced marriage. He was in it, because of her. Lana Lang, is the golden daughter of the Lang empire. Or so the world thought. She wanted nothing more than her parent's love and attention but all that was given to her little brother. Sometimes she'd wonder if she was t
Lihat lebih banyakAku berdecak kesal saat Dito menaruh banyak makanan di atas meja. "Kamu yakin Dit, aku harus makan sebanyak ini?" tanyaku dengan nada kesal. Bagaimana tidak, ia menaruh banyak junk food dan makan penuh karbohidrat meski aku sudah makan.
Dito mengangguk tanpa ragu. "Kamu gak gendut-gendut, Beib! Kamu pasti cacingan!" cibirnya langsung tanpa tedeng aling-aling. Aku melotot. Mr.Berlebihan benar-benar nyebelin, tapi aku cinta dan setengah gila dengan segala risiko yang ada. "Aku mungkin cacingan, karena cacingnya yang obesitas kalau setiap hari kamu bawain makanan sebanyak ini!" sungutku sambil membuka bungkus chicken wing dan mengunyah isinya."Kalau gitu aku beliin obat cacing dulu!" Dito segera berlalu dari kamarku.Aku mendesah lelah. Saking cintanya, kadang-kadang Dito bisa berlebihan untuk menunjukkan bahwa ia sangat mencintaiku. Tapi terkadang sikap itu membuatku merasa tidak nyaman karena aku tidak bisa membalasnya dengan cinta yang sama besar dengan apa yang aku terima darinya. Aku mencocol chicken wing ke saus tomat, mayones seraya menggigitnya kuat-kuat. Aku kesal sekali. Aku tidak cacingan dan rajin minum obat cacing enam bulan sekali sejak kecil. Ini terbukti kalau tinggi badanku tidak stunting. Tapi pekerjaan yang mengharuskan wira-wiri mengikuti konsumen dan bergerak dengan lincah membuat semua makanan yang aku telan hilang sia-sia.Aku Anna Marianne, wanita berani sekaligus keras kepala yang tinggal di sebuah indekost, sedangkan Dito adalah kekasihku sejak aku bekerja di toko bangunan dan interior di Jalan Ahmad Yani.Aku mengembuskan napas. Ku buang tulang ayam dan kotaknya ke dalam tong sampah, lalu menarik spaghetti bolognese dan menyantapnya dengan suka tak suka, mau tak mau. Aku kenyang sekali, sekaligus muak dengan makanan ini.Dito adalah laki-laki berpendidikan tinggi, memiliki pekerjaan tetap, dan keluarganya memiliki kedai makanan cepat saji. Jadilah aku dan lambung ku menjadi sasaran empuk obsesinya. Terlebih semesta benar-benar mendukungnya.Sungguh, sekujur tubuhku akan terasa berat setelah memakan semua ini. Tapi dasarnya aku yang tidak bisa gemuk, mau berapa banyak jumlah makanan yang aku makan sama saja hasilnya."Beib..." Aku mendongak dan mengulum senyum. Dito datang, bawa sekantong plastik berisi. Obat cacing, vitamin, dan pengaman.Aku membuang napas seraya mengunyah spaghetti sampai habis dan aku benar-benar yakin lambungku pasrah menerima ini semua---karena terbiasa."Beib, aku udah selesai!" Aku membuang styrofoam dan cuci tangan di wastafel. Dito mengikutiku, menarik pinggangku seraya mengetatkan pelukannya. Bibirnya dengan lembut mencium tengkuk leherku yang terbuka.Aku tersenyum masam, sudah menduga apa maunya. Memadu kasih."Gak, Dit!" kataku menolak pelan.Dito menggerutu pelan, memutar tubuhku untuk melihat lebih baik. Dito membelai bibirku dengan ibu jarinya. "Yakin, enggak?" Dito menyerukkan hidungnya ke hidungku. "Aku cinta, Anna."Sementara kami bertatapan, Dito menempelkan bibirnya di bibirku. Dengan perlahan, ia melumat bibirku. Aku tersenyum di sela-sela lidahnya yang mendesak mulutku untuk terbuka lebar.Aku membalas ciumannya seraya menyusurkan jemariku di rambutnya seraya menahan kepalanya. Dito memperdalam ciumannya saat kami larut dalam ciuman yang mampu melupakan masalah yang kami miliki."Anna." bisiknya lembut di telingaku sebelum membelai perlahan dengan lidahnya. Gelitik gairah menjalari tubuhku ketika ia menyentuh-sentuhan lain kulitku. Napasnya keras dan cepat. Aku juga bisa merasakan jantungnya berdetak kencang di telingaku yang menempel di dadanya."Dit..." Aku mendongkak untuk menatap, aku melihat mata gelapnya, senyum sensual yang slalu membuatku tergoda. Dito tersenyum mesum seraya mencium keningku.Aku memeluknya erat dan tersenyum manis. Aku susah mengimajinasikan apa yang terjadi jika Dito pergi dariku. Hubungan ini memang lebih dari keuntungan dan kebutuhan bersama. Dito memberi pujian dan aku wanita yang dicintainya. Aku tidak mengerti apa ini bisa di bilang murni atas dasar cinta atau simbiosis mutualisme. Tapi demikianlah memang akibat nyata paling menyenangkan dari kekuasaan laki-laki beruang---mendapatkan apa yang diinginkan, tanpa memikirkan masa depan yang lain."Mandi, Beib! Aku akan mengajakmu ketemu mama." kata Dito, memilih mengalah karena penolakan ku.Aku mengerucutkan bibir. Ada hawa angker jika aku masuk rumahnya. Bukan karena rumahnya sepi dan berhantu, tapi karena ibunya galak! Bu Susanti tidak pernah menyukaiku, karena stigma masyarakat kelas atas yang masih begitu melekat di keluarganya.'Kaya harus menikah dengan si kaya untuk menjamin masa depan dan keturunan, begitu sebaliknya.'"Anna, kamu baik-baik saja?" Dito memperhatikan wajahku lekat-lekat.Aku berusaha tersenyum. Dito sendiri pasti juga menderita karena masih mempertahankan aku di antara gempuran ketidaksukaan ibunya kepadaku."Aku baik-baik saja, biar aku mandi dulu!" jawabku seraya beringsut."Tapi wajahmu gak terlihat bahagia?" sahutnya.Sambil menarik napas dalam-dalam, aku memejamkan mata, mencoba menemukan solusi yang untuk mencegah Dito merasa cemas. Dito mencintaiku, sungguh aku sangat mengetahui itu.Tapi masalahnya adalah aku. Aku mengacaukannya dengan cinta ini.Telapak tanganku dingin dan aku justru ingin menangis sekarang.Dito mendekati, tangannya terulur untuk menangkup wajahku dan melotot. "Mandi atau perlu aku mandiin?" katanya tegas.Aku berdecak, tumitku berputar, ku ambil handuk dan berjalan ke kamar mandi. Aku butuh waktu lama untuk menemukan kembali keberanian untuk menemui Bu Susanti.Butler Feng stepped forward seeing his master's reddened face with worry.Suddenly, the front door opened. The officers walked in followed by three burly men dressed in military uniforms, guns on their waists shielding the people behind.After entering, they immediately stepped aside revealing his Eldest son, Daniel. Johnathan almost couldn't believe his eyes. He choked emotionally, seeing his son okay, his wife followed soon after with a Calm expression on her face.He quickly wiped away the tears running down his cheeks as he rushed towards his son and hugged him, "You're alive! Both of you!" His pulled away and his hand slammed strongly on Daniel's shoulder, "It's Good, it is Good that you are alright." Johnathan said emotionally. "Father, I am sorry for worrying you." Daniel apologized calmly as he put his arms around his father."No, you are dead! You were supposed to die in the explosion." Natasha shrieked," Why are you not dead? Why are you not dead?!" she kept shouting hysteri
"Where are we?" Lana uttered wiping the tear stained off her face while looking at the vast space."We'll figure that out tomorrow." Daniel said, "Right now..." he drawled bringing his lips closer to her face, "let's do something warm." They kissed, holding each other tight, savoring each other's taste. He deepened the kiss with an urgency, his tongue entered her mouth to explore every corner of it. She whimpered as he pulled her closer to himself and she clung to him tighter. Her legs instinctively wrapped around his waist, as his hand moved under her dress caressing her inner thighs, causing goosebumps to rise. They broke the kiss but continued kissing, never wanting to let go. She felt him lift her off the ground, as they continued to continue making out, Daniel slowly unbuttoned his shirt and revealed a very well built torso and six pack abs. He kissed her neck as he undid his belt and kicked off his pants along with her dress."D-Daniel," she gasped trying hard not to moan as he
More than thirty minutes later, Lana started waking up. In her dazed state, she could faintly hear the sound of something beeping, it alarmed her. As soon as the panic began to fill up her mind she remembered everything that happened while she was asleep. Slowly she pried her eyelids open looking around. Everything looked dark and quiet but after looking more closely, she noticed the blinking red light, it was bomb!Her mind went blank. Upon arriving, the first thing he did was rush straight inside looking for his wife. The yacht was empty which was odd. But he could not leave before finding Lana. He hurriedly searched every room until he stopped at a particular one, his heart beating along as he opened it.Lana felt it was the end for her. She didn't realize that her eyes were tearing up until she felt the salt wetting her cheek as she was crying silently. A few seconds later, a familiar voice appeared beside her, making her turn around to see her husband. He removed her gag kneelin
As they were leaving the cafe, a van suddenly pulled up in front of them. Feeling unease and puzzled as she glanced at the van, two masked men rushed out and grabbed onto her dragging her into the van. And that was the last thing she remembered before everything faded to darkness.*************Lana woke up groggily and blinked a few times to clear the blurriness away. Looking around, she found herself tied to a chair in a dimly lit room. She tried to figure out where she was but nothing came to mind. A Woman walked into the room making sure she closed the door behind her. Lana tensed at the sound and turned to face her, thinking It was one of the masked men that brought her here.In the Dark, all she could hear was the sound of water source flowing somewhere nearby, which told her they were near a water source. But why would anyone bring her here. The last thing she remembers was being kidnapped by two men who dragged her into the van and knocked her out while driving.She then heard
There was a tensed silence in the hall. The atmosphere became uncomfortable, so Lana decided to take initiative, "Mom, Dad. Let's do this after dinner alright?" She said looking at both sides. Matthew and his wife agreed readily, moving to the table for dinner, the servants serving everyone food. Once everyone was seated.They began to eat in silence as they waited for the tension to subside a bit. After dinner, while the others sat at the leisure room chatting, Lana left with her parents to the study, where they could have a conversation and talk things out. "What is going on here? Don't tell me, this man is your father?" Joseph Lang asked as soon as he stepped into the study."Yes, Father. From your tone, it seems like I was not ever going to know about the fact that my biological father is someone else. Was, it... Father, Mom?" Lanaquestioned looking straight at her Mom. "That's because you weren't meant to find out!""Find out what? That, I was living a lie? That the man I thoug
Lucas blushed slightly and coughed lightly as if he hadn't noticed anything while Ria giggled to herself and continued to sneak glances at him. Lucas turned his head towards Lana slowly, "Sorry. What was it you wanted to say?""Oh, nothing much. Just wondering when you guys will stop staring at each other as if you want to devour each other. I mean seriously." Lana answered, raising an eyebrow at Lucas as she spoke with a teasing tone. Lucas looked away embarrassed and scratched the back of his neck shyly. Ria was grinning like mad, her dark brown eyes twinkled with mischief as she whispered something to Diane, causing her to giggle loudly.***The atmosphere in the White Mansion was quite lively with activities. A lot happened in the past few weeks, with Lucas and Ria getting closer than ever. They were basically everywhere sharing mushy glances.Lana crossed checked everything around the mansion to make sure it was okay, after all, her guests would be arriving soon. Just then, a cal
