2001: A Space Odyssey

"Manusia perlu ditampar Tuhan supaya sadar akan kesalahannya," Itulah yang ku katakan saat aku merasa hancur dalam kehidupanku. Sosokku yang biasanya berani menentang apa yang ku rasa tidak adil untukku kini hanya mengalah dalam penyesalan. Ya, mungkin ini karmaku. ***** Setelah aku keguguran, suamiku tiba-tiba berubah menjadi sosok dingin yang tak lagi bersahabat denganku, ia cenderung suka bertindak sendiri tanpa bertanya padaku. Termasuk mengangkat anak. Mengangkat seorang anak yang memiliki masalah pada mentalnya, mengangkat seorang anak yang membuatku bertanya banyak hal namun tak mendapatkan jawaban dari suamiku.

Claudia Hepburn had seduced his fiancé, Arthur Maxwell, ninety-nine times. However, he was still into her sister, Fione Hepburn. Not only was he nowhere to be seen on the day of the wedding, but he even went ahead and registered his wedding with Fione instead. Claudia was turned into a laughingstock after that.

Even after five years of marriage, Brett still doted on her endlessly. That was until a shipwreck took him away. On the day of the funeral, she was so heartbroken that she felt the urge to smash her head against his coffin to end it all right there. It was only when she found she was pregnant that she gave up on the idea of ending it all. She decided she would live on and grieve her late husband for the rest of her life. Just when she was expecting the rest of her life to play out that way, she happened to eavesdrop on a conversation between her ex-fiancé and his friends. “Brett, your brother was the one who died in that shipwreck, but here you are pretending to be him. Did you do it so you could be together with his wife? Aren’t you worried about someone finding out about this?” “I can't be bothered to worry about all that now, I’ve loved Fione from the beginning. I had to endure so much humiliation and marry Claudia just so I could prevent her from ruining Fione’s happiness. Now that God has given me such a perfect chance, I will not sell myself short anymore!”

Three years after being brought back to my family, I jumped off a building. As my soul floated in the air, I wanted to see how my parents and brother, who always despised me, would break down in tears, filled with regret. But my father simply shook his head indifferently and looked at my lifeless body, saying, "How childish." My mother pressed her lips together and sighed in relief, as if a burden had been lifted. My brother stood in front of the fake heiress, shielding her from the gruesome sight of my death. Even so, the fake heiress burst into tears, prompting the whole family to rush to comfort her. I stared in stunned silence for a long time before a bitter smile crossed my face. When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the moment I was first brought home.
