Angkringan Kali Code

Aku tidak menyangka, pernikahan yang sangat ingin aku jalani seumur hidup sekali itu sering kali diterpa badai-badai masalah dan pertengkaran. Entah itu dengan ibu mertuaku, atau dengan suamiku sendiri. Suami yang seharusnya melindungi dan membelaku, lebih memihak kepada ibu mertua yang acapkali ikut campur urusan rumah tangga kami. Berulang kali aku mengajak suamiku untuk keluar dari rumah mertua, tetapi suamiku selalu menolak. *** Aku sangat ingin menyudahi rumah tanggaku yang jauh dari kata sehat ini, dan kembali menjalani hidup bersama keluarga asalku. Namun, betapa terkejutnya aku saat mendapati alat tes kehamilan menunjukan dua garis merah yang berjejer rukun! Haruskah ku urungkan niat bercerai dari suamiku? ***

Aku hanya mengungkit tentang dekorasi lokasi pernikahan, tetapi cinta pertama tunanganku langsung menangis dan berlari keluar. Alexander menamparku hingga aku tersungkur di lantai. Dia menggertakkan giginya dengan penuh kebencian. "Melinda, kamu begitu nggak sabar buat nikah? Kamu begitu takut nggak ada yang mau nikahi kamu, makanya kamu nggak berhenti paksa aku menikahimu? Pernikahan kita seminggu lagi ditunda saja dulu!" Aku menutupi wajahku, tetapi hatiku tetap tenang. Termasuk kali ini, dia telah menunda pernikahan kami delapan kali. Aku menunggunya dari usia 28 hingga awal 30-an, tetapi masih tidak mendapat jawaban. Jadi, kali ini aku mengemas barang-barangku dengan sangat tenang dan memilih untuk pergi. Sebenarnya, pernikahan ini juga tidak harus terjadi.

The cursed Alpha has claimed five lives. I was never meant to survive him—until a witch gave me a Redemption Code and a warning: I could cheat death only three times. Now I’m trapped in Kade’s world—a blindfolded Alpha feared by all, born from a forbidden union and cursed to destroy everything he touches. But every time I overcome the fear he plants in me, a black rose petal tattoo blooms on my skin—protecting me from the very curse meant to consume me. He says I’m different. That I might be the one to break his curse. That the tattoos mean I’m becoming immune. But I’m not here to save him. I’m here to survive him. And if the only way out of this bond is to pretend… then I’ll play along—until I uncover the truth behind his curse, his prophecy, and the reason he needs me alive. Even if a part of me is starting to wonder… what if the real curse is falling for him?

Kalau kayak gini kan cuma sesekali. Paling sering juga seminggu sekali ada tawaran manggung." "Emang dibayar berapa tiap kali manggung?" tanya Samuel lagi, penasaran.
