99/108

My CEO boyfriend promises that he'll only complete 99 wishes with his first love—she's lost her memory after being injured. However, I see them curling up in each other's arms when the wishes are completed. Later, I stop pestering him about him caring for his first love. All I ask from him is an anklet for a baby—I want it as a remembrance of our child's birth, which is happening soon. His gaze softens at the mention of the child. "Once I'm done with this, I'll accompany you shopping so we can pick out things for the baby." I nod compliantly. I don't tell him it's already been a week since I asked a lawyer to draft a breakup agreement. In fact, we're already broken up.

Aku memohon kepada Rizald Pratama sebanyak 99 kali dan akhirnya dia setuju untuk mengajak putri kami berkemah di pegunungan pada hari ulang tahun putri kami. Pada saat aku menemukan putriku di kaki gunung keesokan harinya, dia sudah meninggal, tangannya memegang erat sebuah foto keluarga. Aku berdiri di depan tubuh kaku putriku, hatiku tersayat pedih. Tiba-tiba, aku melihat Rizald memperbarui status di media sosialnya. Dia menuliskan, "Kamu dan anakku adalah harta berharga dalam hidupku." Dalam foto tersebut, dia dan teman masa kecilnya menggandeng seorang gadis kecil, tengah melihat matahari terbenam di kejauhan. Di sudut kiri bawah foto, terlihat sebuah tangan kecil yang merupakan tangan putriku. Foto yang menyakitkan ini diambil oleh putriku.

Selama tiga tahun pernikahan, Claire Nolan merawat Julian Westwood yang mengalami kelumpuhan pada kedua kakinya dengan cermat. Namun, Julian justru sangat membencinya. Hanya karena Claire menyentuh kakinya, dia langsung mengusir Claire keluar rumah, bahkan menguncinya di luar selama 99 hari. Ironisnya, pada hari ketika Julian akhirnya pulih dan bisa berdiri lagi, hal pertama yang dia lakukan adalah pergi ke bandara untuk menjemput kekasih pertamanya. Bertahun-tahun pengorbanan dan kasih sayang Claire tetap tidak bisa menandingi sang cinta sejati di hati Julian. Sambil menahan rasa sakit di dada, Claire akhirnya menelepon seseorang, "Kontrak sudah selesai. Aku ingin bercerai darinya." Namun setelah Claire pergi, barulah Julian menyesal.

Menjalin cinta selama tujuh tahun, pacarku yang seorang CEO sudah 99 kali membatalkan rencana untuk buat akta nikah denganku. Pertama kali, ketika asisten perempuan barunya terkunci di kantor, dia segera bergegas kembali dan meninggalkan diriku di depan kantor catatan sipil sampai tengah malam. Kelima kali, saat kami sedang berfoto bersama, dia mendengar asistennya diganggu oleh klien dan kembali untuk menolongnya, meninggalkan aku menjadi bahan ejekan orang lain. Sejak itu, setiap kali kami hendak membuat akta nikah, selalu ada kesulitan yang menimpa asistennya. Akhirnya aku benar-benar putus asa, dan memilih untuk pergi. Setelah aku pindah dari Kota Niros, dia malah dengan terobsesinya mencariku selama lima tahun.

Even on my hundredth proposal, Isabelle Cole still turns me down. We've been together for seven years. For the previous 99 proposals, she said her childhood friend isn't married yet, and she can't bring herself to break the promise they've made. Staring at the ring in my hand, I finally can't hold it in anymore. "If Ronald never gets married, are you going to keep him company forever? What am I to you?" Isabelle's expression turns gloomy in an instant. She snatches the ring and throws it into the river. "Ron and I made a promise when we were kids that we'd get married at the same time. How can I just abandon him? "And besides, is that piece of paper really all that important, Lucas? We've been together for seven years. What difference would it even make?"

For three years of marriage, Jeanette Schafer had devoted herself completely to caring for Skyler Weisberg, who was confined to a wheelchair. Yet, Skyler harbored nothing but contempt for her. He hated her touch so much that the last time she accidentally brushed against his legs, he locked her out of their home for 99 days. The day finally came when Skyler's legs had healed enough for him to stand again. Yet, the first thing he did was to drive straight to the airport to pick up his first love. Years of selfless devotion and tender care meant nothing compared to his 'the one that got away'. Swallowing the heartbreak, Jeanette made a call. She whispered, "The contract is fulfilled. I'm filing for divorce." Only after she walked away did Skyler realize what he had lost. But by then, it was already too late.

Seseorang bisa sekaya apa? Suamiku sangat kaya, orang-orang menjulukinya Bayang Kota, karena hampir separuh properti di Kota Bara adalah miliknya. Selama lima tahun menikah, setiap dia pergi menemani cinta pertamanya, dia akan memberikan sebuah rumah padaku. Setelah aku memiliki 99 rumah, suamiku menyadari bahwa aku berubah. Aku tidak menangis dan mengeluh, bahkan tidak memohon padanya untuk menemaniku. Aku memilih sebuah vila terbaik di Kota Bara, lalu menyiapkan surat pengalihan properti dan memintanya untuk menandatangani surat itu. Setelah menandatangani surat pengalihan properti, suamiku mencoba untuk menghiburku. "Tunggu aku pulang, aku akan membawamu pergi melihat kembang api." Aku menyimpan surat itu dengan tenang sambil mengiakan. Namun, aku tidak memberitahunya bahwa surat yang ditandatangani kali ini adalah surat perceraian kami.

Clive Hawkins, who had been giving me the cold shoulder, posted on X. [First 100 likes get a breakup cash giveaway.] In no time, it had 99 likes and reposts. I knew he was waiting for me to give in, just like how I begged him to delete it during the ten times we fought before. But this time, I reposted it myself and wrote, [Count me in.] Then, I blocked him on every platform. Three days later, his sister messaged me. [Clive saved you a front row seat. Stop hiding and come back. As long as you show up, he's willing to forgive you.] I glanced at the plane ticket on my desk and replied. [I'm busy.] I really was busy. I’d been admitted to graduate school at Redstone University, and my flight was leaving that night for orientation. From then on, we would be separated by thousands of miles, never to see each other again.

In our five years of marriage, my husband, Derrick Wickham, bails on me 99 times for his childhood sweetheart, Jessica Harson. This time, after he stands me up, I find two plane tickets to Frantines in his office. "I was planning to surprise you for our anniversary. Since you've already seen them, we'll just meet at the airport," he says icily. I eagerly pack and get myself ready, arriving early at the airport. I wait from the wee hours of dawn till the late hours of night, but Derrick fails to show up. Then, I see a post on Jessica's social media. "It's my birthday today. Though he doesn't have the time to go on a trip with me to Frantines, I forgive him because he brought me to the amusement park instead!" In the past, I'd have called him, crying and demanding answers. But this time, I'm truly done.

Tahun ketiga mengejar Titus, sang "biksu suci" di kalangan elite ibu kota, aku tetap belum berhasil menikah dengannya. Aturan leluhur Keluarga Lingga menetapkan bahwa siapa pun yang ingin masuk ke Keluarga Lingga harus memohon sendiri dan mendapat hasil ramalan paling mujur. Namun, aku sudah memohon sebanyak 99 kali dan semua hasilnya adalah yang paling sial. Sebelum yang ke-100 kali, aku melihat dengan mata kepalaku sendiri, Titus mengganti semua kertas lamaran di dalam tabung. "Nggak peduli berapa kali, dia hanya akan mendapat hasil ramalan paling sial." Barulah aku sadar, dia benar-benar tidak mencintaiku. Tidak apa-apa, aku juga tidak ingin menikah dengannya lagi. Aku membuang tabung ramalan itu, lalu menelepon orang tuaku. "Aku menyetujui pernikahan aliansi dengan Keluarga Winata."
