Akin Ka Lang

Aku merasa jantungku seakan berhenti berdetak, bukan karena kagum akan ketampanan si pemilik mata Elang. Perasaan yang tengah aku rasakan seolah aku baru saja mengalami kejadian naas yang mengerikan. Seakan-akan laki-laki yang tengah berdiri di hadapanku ini telah melakukan kesalahan fatal, yang aku sendiri tidak mengetahuinya. Tentu saja itu sangat mustahil, toh seingatku ini pertama kalinya aku bertemu dengan dia. Badanku langsung menggigil setelah kontak mata yang aku lakukan. Walaupun ekspresi pemuda di depanku kentara sekali menunjukkan penyesalan yang teramat sangat.

Now, Willow has to fake-date the guy she can’t stand, help him pass his classes, and pretend her life isn’t falling apart. It started as a lie.

It's our third wedding anniversary. On this day, Zoey Hayes, who has had a crush on my husband for three years, flaunts their love on her social media.

Twenty-three-year-old Samantha Peters has been a good girl her entire life. She's never broken the rules, never did anything crazy, and never stood out in any way. When her best friend conveniences her to go to New York for the weekend, she has her first one nightstand. No big deal, right? No one back home will ever know and she'll never see him again.

Four years ago, Harper Lane swore she’d never fall for a hockey player—especially not him. Logan Shaw was everything she promised herself to avoid: arrogant, talented, and allergic to anything resembling feelings. Back in freshman year, he was the rising star of Hartwell University’s hockey team. She was the quiet girl who saw through the charm and walked away before he could bruise her pride. Now it’s senior year, and Logan is co-captain of the team, living in the infamous Ice House where parties, hookups, and rivalry rule. He’s got NHL scouts watching, his best friend as captain, and a reputation that keeps him safely unattached. He likes it that way—until Harper steps back into his world, no longer the shy girl he remembers. She’s confident, smart, and infuriatingly composed—President of her sorority and laser-focused on grad school. Harper doesn’t have time for Logan’s games. But when campus tradition forces their worlds to collide, the line between old tension and new desire starts to melt. What begins as banter and rivalry turns into something that neither of them planned—and something Logan isn’t sure he deserves. Because breaking the ice between them means letting her see the cracks underneath the surface. And Harper knows that once she lets him in, there’s no going back. It’s the last year, the last chance, and maybe, just maybe, the last time they can pretend not to care.

Kebahagiaan yang tujuh tahun ini selalu mengitari dirinya kini telah sirna dalam sekejap mata. Sosok yang selama ini ia banggakan dan agungkan telah menancapkan duri tajam. Menusuk relung hati hatinya yang paling dalam. “Kenapa Mas tega melakukan ini padaku? Apa salah ku, Mas? Apa?!” pertanyaan beruntun keluar dari perempuan beranak satu sembari terisak-isak dalam tangisnya. Jilbab navy menjulur ke dadanya kini telah basah. Ia berusaha mengusap kedua pipinya karena air mata yang terus mengalir deras tanpa henti. Kehidupannya kini terasa begitu suram. Dadanya sangat sesak, matanya sembab dengan lutut yang sudah bergetar hebat hingga tak mampu lagi untuk menopang badannya. Apa perempuan itu masih bisa mengulas senyuman di bibirnya setelah sang suami merenggut segala kemanisan yang selama ini telah mereka bina?

I hadn't seen my mafia husband, Luca Moretti, and our daughter Dora in three whole months. Why? Because his mother, Fiona, said Dora should stay with her "for a while." And Luca? He was "too busy with business," as always. So when Luca finally called and said he was going to pick me up for a family reunion at the villa, I was overjoyed. I thought maybe, just maybe, I'd finally get to hold my little girl again. I spent the whole damn day running around the city, buying her favorite dolls, snacks, a new pink dress, anything I thought would make her smile at me again. But when the car arrived, it wasn't what I imagined. Before I could even say Hi, Dora turned her head, took one look at me… and then wrapped her arms even tighter around Maria, the maid. She buried her face in Maria's neck like I wasn't even there. Like Maria was her mom. I tried to approach her, but Dora straight-up told me she didn't want to ride in the same car as me. And Maria, wearing that fake, polite smile, kept trying to gently talk me into giving Dora "a little more time." I looked over at Luca, hoping he'd step in. Instead, he just looked annoyed, like he couldn't be bothered to lift a finger to help fix things between me and our daughter. Clearly, they didn't want me there. So what was the point of trying to join the ride? I stepped back from the SUV. Then Luca just turned to me and said, "Just wait here. I won't be long." What he'll never understand is… I'm done waiting for him.
