“Kok anak-anak manggil kamu ‘Kak Can’?” tanya Ben, memandangi wajah memikat itu. “Memang nama kamu siapa, sih?” “Modus!” “Oke, kalau gitu biar aku tebak. Candra, Canda, Candi, Can ... tik?” Dari responsnya yang sempat membeku, Ben kembali berceletuk. “Wow, bener ya, kamu Cantik?” Bola mata gadis itu bergulir, melirik galak pada Ben. “Bukan!” Pertemuan pertama mereka yang absurd membuat keduanya terus menerus dipertemukan tanpa sengaja. Cantika adalah tetangga yang tinggal beberapa blok dari rumah Ben. Menurut Ben, semua yang ada di tubuh gadis itu tampak memesona. Tatapan matanya, bibirnya, bentuk tubuhnya, gerak-geriknya, suaranya, bahkan semuanya, terlalu seksi untuk diabaikan. Ditambah lagi penampilannya yang modis benar-benar memanjakan mata. Tetapi katanya, rumah besar yang ada di kawasan elit itu bukan rumah Cantika. Ketiga bocah yang selalu memanggilnya ‘Kak Can’ juga bukan adik kandungnya. Lantas, siapa sebenarnya Cantika? Kenapa Ben sering melihatnya berkeliaran keluar masuk rumah itu? Masa iya, gadis cantik yang membuatnya terpesona itu ... pengasuh anak?

I had been with the company for eleven years. One day, the boss’ son was abruptly planted as my immediate superior. In order to establish his power, he started to humiliate me. He splashed coffee on my face in front of our client. “Why are you serving our most prestigious client this nasty drink? You’re embarrassing the company!” I was furious. However, I held my anger back for the sake of the company. During our townhall meeting, he threw my proposal to the floor. “We’re not an old folks’ home. We don’t take care of useless pieces of shit like you.” I did not leave the next day. Instead, I asked my personal assistant to publish a notice on the digital display at our office building. [Due to the tenant’s unstable emotions, the lease on the 17th floor of this office building will not be renewed when it expires next month.]

After working overtime every day for a month, I finally completed an important code that could save my company. Five minutes into my break, my team leader, Fiona Smith, suddenly hit me in the head with her file. “Because you spent so much time in the office, our electricity bill this month has increased by 15 kWh! Do you see this office as a free air-conditioning supplier?” I was about to defend myself when she angrily pointed at my cell phone and tablet on my desk. “You’re charging your devices here? You should charge them at home! Aren’t you aware of the company’s current condition?” I could no longer hold back my anger. “Fiona, I’ve been working overtime. I’m not here doing nothing!” “Can’t you do overtime at home instead? For a fresh graduate, you sure know how to exploit the company’s resources. Who knows what other despicable things you might be capable of doing in the future?!” Fiona yelled. I stared at her twisted expression and suddenly chuckled. If only my parents had seen me working so hard over such a trivial matter. They would have immediately asked me to quit and work in their company instead. I grabbed the flash drive with the important code and called my secretary. “Jane, I’d like to purchase Galaxy Corporation, and I want it to be the best in the industry.”

Under my parents' request, I work as the finance officer in my childhood friend, Julius Sanford's company. But the moment he goes on a business trip, the new intern, Lizzie Dalton, rushes into my office and demands that I process her reimbursements. As I stare at the pile of receipts that come from luxury stores, all I feel is shock. "Lizzie, I can only use the company's funds to reimburse business expenses. Why are you asking me for reimbursements when all you did was buy clothes and bags of your own?" But as soon as my words fall, Lizzie splashes a cup of coffee at me instantly. "I'm the lady boss of this company! The company's funds are my funds too! Don't think you can just reject my receipts just because you know my husband!" I do my best to suppress my fury as I dig out the company's policy and reiterate, "No, I seriously cannot do that. The company's cash flow must be reflected in the books." Seeing as I refuse to yield to her no matter what, Lizzie calls Julius on the phone and begins whining to him. "Babe, since when do I need to ask your childhood friend for approval if I want to buy something I like for myself? Or could it be that she's acting so assertively because you two are secretly having an affair?" Julius panics and tells Lizzie that he has nothing to do with me. After that, he quickly releases an announcement on the company group just so he can defend Lizzie. "Lizzie Dalton is my wife! She's the second boss of this company other than me!" After that, Julius tags me in the group. "Hey, finance! You're not my mom here! I don't like you, so please stay out of my private matters! "I'd like nothing more than to let my own wife spend my own money! If you don't like that, you can pack up and leave!" Once Julius makes his stance clear, I change my tune and reimburse Lizzie the expenses she's claimed. But one week later, Julius finds himself staring at the list of debts that's 33 feet long when he returns from his business trip.

Tahu rasanya bertahun dalam ikatan halal tapi tak dicintai? Dia menikahiku karena pelarian, kemudian meninggalkanku begitu saja saat kekasihnya telah menjanda, pun saat bertahun diri ini menunggu cintanya. Aku Mentari, istri seorang dokter jenius dan ternama, Mas Rian. Kalau ada yang bertanya siapa yang dicintai Mas Rian? Jawabannya sudah pasti, tentu bukan aku. Dia menikahiku karena kekasihnya yang seprofesi memilih meninggalkannya demi karir dan lelaki lain. Setelah enam bulan pernikahan, Mas Rian baru menyentuhku, itupun sambil menyebut nama wanita pujaannya. Dan mulai dari situ, setiap dia mendatatangiku nama Dokter Juwita tanpa pernah absen diejanya. Sungguh sesak luar biasa. Meski demikian, aku tetap menyimpan harap untuknya. Karena selain Mas Rian memenuhi semua kebutuhanku secara berlebih, juga ada anak yang membuat kian subur rasa ini. "Ini bukan salahku, tapi takdir yang memang harus berlaku," ucap Mas Rian tanpa dosa apalagi meminta maaf sebagai kata perpisahan. Duh ... Ada yang patah tapi bukan ranting. Ada yang merembes tapi bukan darah. Sebegitu sakitnya mencintai dalam pengabaian? Sebegitu perihnya berharap dalam ketidak perdulian? Namun, tak mampu untuk berpaling. Hiks .... Belum genap sebulan kepergian Mas Rian, Bapak menghadap ke Ilahi karena stres mengetahui kehancuran rumah tanggaku. Lengkaplah sudah penderitaan ini. Entah kenapa suatu hari, Mas Rian memaksa mengambil putra semata wayang kami, Abram. Padahal dia tahu pasti hanya anak itu penemang sepi dan pengobat laraku. Aku seperti sedang menyaksikan drama korea perpisahan antara ibu dan anak, tersebab kalah di persidangan dalam perebutan hak asuh. Cuman bedanya, di sini aku tak jadi penonton atau penikmat, melainkan pemeran utama. Ternyata berdobel-dobel sesak yang ditimbulkannya. Andai tak punya malu, mungkin aku akan histeris juga selayak sang aktris menghayati skenario. Melihat air mata tanpa dosa putraku berjatuhan akibat keegoisan papanya, perlindungan seorang ibu berontak di jiwaku. Ya, aku harus berjuang, meski sampai titik darah penghabisan dan berakhir tumbang tak dikenang.
