Angkringan Kali Code

Tiga tahun setelah aku menjalani pernikahan yang diatur dengan pewaris Keluarga Wiranegara, orang yang pernah pergi, kembali lagi. Sudah delapan kali dia meninggalkanku demi Julisa. Kali ke-sembilan, dia meninggalkanku bersimbah darah di pinggir jalan akibat tembakan, hanya untuk lari menemui Julisa yang meneleponnya karena merasa sedikit pusing. "Dia membutuhkanku. Kamu mengerti, 'kan, Kirana?" Kali ini, aku tidak berjuang untuknya. Dia tidak tahu tentang taruhan yang kubuat dengan Julisa. Kali ke-sembilan dia meninggalkanku, aku yang akan pergi untuk selamanya. Jadi, pada hari ulang tahunnya, aku meletakkan selembar akta cerai yang sudah ditandatangani di mejanya, lalu naik pesawat meninggalkannya.

In New York’s underbelly, secrets are currency, and spending them can cost your life. Oliver Blaese is a brilliant British hacker with a talent for blackmail and a magnetic pull toward trouble. When a routine job exposes a powerful politician’s murderous secrets, a single power failure leaves Oliver’s identity exposed. Now he’s the target, and desperately in need of a shield. Kirill Nikolaev runs a club built on chrome, loyalty, and very expensive body counts. Russian. Ruthless. Untouchable. He doesn’t babysit reckless hackers, and he definitely doesn’t let chaos move into his penthouse. But the money is good. The job should be easy. Keep Oliver alive. Eliminate the threat. Except Oliver is all sharp smiles and filthy wit, a chaos monkey who presses every button Kir has. Trapped in the same space, hatred mutates into something hotter. Oil and flame. Threats that sound like foreplay. Stares that feel like impact. Kir understands dominance, violence and control. He does not understand why the golden, sharp-tongued hacker makes him question everything he’s ever believed about himself. As danger closes in and a secret affair ignites, obsession begins to twist into devotion. What starts as hate-fueled heat becomes a dark romance built on chosen loyalty. In a landscape built on secrets and body counts, love isn’t tender. It’s territorial. It’s volatile. And it demands blood in return.

It has been seven years since her father's death and she felt that her life and dreams have been put on-hold because she could not get the funding she needed on her life projects. To make matters worse, her step-father is accusing her of fraud for presenting a fake marriage certificate to get her inheritance. His reason: Daniel Grant aka husband does not exist in any record. Everyone knows Daniel the geek back in college. He is her friend. How could he not exist? That's her way out every time her mother would arrange a blind date for her. One day, her mother gave her a hard deadline: bring Daniel Grant or get married to Mr. Johnson, one of her step-father's buddy who is twice her age. Out of desperation, she asked her CEO boss Daniel Stevenson to accompany her to meet her mother and step-father in exchange of one month overtime without pay. Will the boss agree? Will she get her inheritance? What would she do if she finds out they have more connection than what she knows?

Saat aku terkena radang usus buntu akut, orang tua, kakak, dan tunanganku sedang sibuk merayakan ulang tahun adikku. Di luar ruang operasi, aku menelepon berkali-kali mencari kerabat untuk menandatangani formulir persetujuan, tapi semua orang menolak panggilanku dengan kejam. Setelah menutup telepon, tunanganku mengirim pesan. [Hana, berhenti bercanda. Hari ini ulang tahun ke-18 Wulan. Tunggu habis pesta dulu, kalau mau bicara.] Aku pun meletakkan ponselku dan dengan tenang menandatangani namaku pada formulir persetujuan. Ini sudah ke-99 kalinya mereka meninggalkanku demi Wulan. Kalau begitu aku ingin meninggalkan mereka juga. Aku sudah tidak sedih lagi atas sikap mereka yang pilih kasih. Sebaliknya, aku menuruti setiap permintaan mereka. Mereka semua mengira aku semakin pengertian, tapi mereka tidak tahu bahwa aku akan pergi selamanya.

Karena anak yang kulahirkan menderita suatu penyakit, maka aku dipaksa untuk hamil lagi. Setelah lima tahun aku diasingkan, pria itu datang lagi dan meminta mengandung kembali. "Aku tak perlu kesiapanmu. Kamu hanya perlu mengandung seperti dulu. Bukannya dulu juga begitu." "Orang gila pun bisa hamil jika diper kosa." Ucapan-ucapan kasar terlontar dari mulutnya, memang dia bukan manusia. Aku benci padanya, benci setengah mati. Bagaimanapun caranya, aku ingin kabur dan lepas dari pria yang hanya butuh rahimku saja. subscribe untuk mendapatkan notifikasi update setiap hari

[Bagaimana mungkin ada solusi sempurna di dunia ini, yang tidak mengecewakan Tathagata maupun mengecewakan orang yang ada di hati?] Puisi itu sangat romantis, tetapi tidak ada hubungannya dengan Rosa.

Dia memberi dirinya sendiri waktu tujuh hari untuk melupakan Bobby.

Pada hari libur semester, unggahan di status WhatsApp yang paling viral adalah tentang diriku. Judulnya adalah, "Pak Bondan membawa putranya untuk merayakan ulang tahun cinta sejatinya. Apakah dia akhirnya berencana bercerai dengan Sofia Jayadi?" Aku diam-diam menyukai postingan itu. Saat ponselku berdering, aku sedang membongkar balon-balon yang telah disiapkan untuk hari jadi pernikahan. "Sayang," ujar suamiku dengan terburu-buru, ingin memberikan penjelasan. "Anak kita tiba-tiba merengek ingin pergi ke taman bermain, jadi aku ...." Di latar belakang, terdengar suara tawa anak kami. "Ayah, Bibi bilang kalau malam ini aku bisa tidur dengannya!" Aku menatap rumah yang berantakan ini. Balon-balon tampak terkulai lemas, sementara krim di atas kue sudah mengeras. "Kamu nggak perlu menjelaskan." Aku mendengar diriku berkata, "Aku memahami semuanya." Hanya saja, kali ini semuanya akan berbeda. Aku tidak menginginkan ayah dan anak ini lagi.

My mom was a brilliant programmer. She created an app called "Shake for Allowance." After my brother and I downloaded it, she told us, "From now on, this is how you'll get your living expenses. On the first of every month, just shake your phone. Whatever number you get is the amount you'll receive. "The range is from zero to ten thousand dollars." At first, I was excited. Every month, I shook my phone with anticipation. However, every time, the result was the same: 0 dollars. My brother, meanwhile, always landed the highest amount. "Wow, sis, your luck really sucks," he said. Even when he showed me the transfer record for ten thousand dollars, there was a smug smile on his face. When I confronted Mom, she brushed it off, saying my luck was bad and that no one else was to blame. With no other choice, I worked three part-time jobs just to support myself while studying. On the night before my final exams, I collapsed from exhaustion and died. When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the very day my mom created the "Shake for Allowance" app.
