No Forgiveness
My four-year-old son dies after someone crashes into him with a motorcycle. The culprit is a college freshman who's just been admitted.
I'm devastated, but my husband generously forgives her. "We have to give her a chance since she's such an outstanding student. She's still young—we can't ruin her future."
Ha. She has plenty of opportunities and a bright future ahead of her.
What about my son? He was only four.
Later, I rip his letter of forgiveness to pieces before his face.
He wants me to forgive the young lady?
No way in hell!
About Keenan
PROSES REVISI. JANGAN DIBACA DULU.
Di tengah riuhnya sorakan penonton, Keenan berdiri tegak, sorot matanya tetap fokus meski di sekelilingnya gemuruh tak henti-henti. ISF Basketball World Schools Championship, ajang ini adalah puncak dari segala kerja kerasnya. Bola di tangannya terasa begitu familiar, seolah bagian dari dirinya. Dengan lincah, ia menggiring, melewati setiap lawan yang mencoba menghalangi. Setiap langkahnya ringan, tapi penuh arti, membawa ingatan pada kerja keras yang tak terhitung.
Saat ia mendekati garis tiga angka, seluruh dunia seakan menahan napas. Keenan melompat, bola melayang sempurna di udara, dan saat bola itu menembus jaring dengan mulus, sorak-sorai membahana. Tapi, di tengah semua itu, Keenan tetap tenang. Dia tidak mencari kemenangan demi sorak penonton. Ada sesuatu yang lebih berharga dari sekadar poin.
Matanya menyapu kerumunan, mencari wajah yang selama ini selalu ada untuknya, meski tanpa suara. Dan di sana, di antara lautan orang, gadis itu. Gadis yang selalu ada, yang dengan diamnya telah menjadi kekuatan terbesar baginya.
Keenan tersenyum kecil, hanya sekejap, lalu dalam hati dia berbisik, lembut tapi penuh makna, "Thanks a lot for always having my back. You have no idea how much your support means to me. This win is ours, not just mine."

No Room for Forgiveness
The last time I argued with my husband, he slammed the door on me and left.
I was so upset that I died from a heart attack. Meanwhile, he took his lover and her son traveling to take his mind off things. The entire time, our daughter, who was just a child, was abandoned at home for seven days with my corpse.
At last, when Eliott remembered me and my daughter, he returned home to see my corpse. Having fallen sick, my daughter was all skin and bones.
When Eliott realized his mistake, he hugged our daughter tightly and broke down crying in front of my grave.
My daughter pulled away from him and hid behind my gravestone. She hissed sharply at him, “Who do you think you are? Don't disturb Mommy’s rest!”

Too Late for Forgiveness
Serena Judd is a mess when she's taken to the hospital after being harassed by a freak. As she waits in the corridor for her turn to see the doctor, she sees Justin Farrow with his arm around a young woman. He's coaxing her gently.
With a raspy voice, Serena looks at Justin, the guy she has been on and off with for years. "Didn’t you get my text?"
"It's Candice's birthday, so I can't upset her. Besides, who knows whether you actually ran into a freak?" He frowns, looking disdainful. "Were you violated?"
Serena's blood runs cold at his words. She tenders her resignation the following day, but Justin isn't bothered. He says, "She's more obedient than a dog. She'll come back to beg for forgiveness without me even saying anything."
This time, however, Serena leaves without hesitation.
…
Half a year passes. Justin sits in his car and dials a number he's already committed to memory. As soon as the call is connected, he says tensely, "I miss you."
All he hears is a snort. "Why are you disturbing me in the middle of the night with a love confession, Mr. Farrow? You should be asleep."
Justin snarls, "Where's Rina? Tell her to answer the phone!"
Wilson Quade looks at Serena, who's lying beneath him, her eyes gleaming with desire. He smirks devilishly and says, "We're busy, Mr. Farrow."
