Apa Itu All Out

(On Hold Sementara). Dia lagi, dia lagi. Entah sudah berapa kali aku bertemu dengannya dan aku tidak tahu apakah pertemuanku dengannya adalah takdir atau kebetulan belaka. Pertemuan pertama, aku terpana. Pertemuan kedua, aku terkejut. Pertemuan ketiga, aku terheran. Pertemuan keempat, aku sadar bahwa rasa ini ada untuknya. Beberapa hal aneh mulai kusadari. Ketika aku mengunjungi kampus untuk suatu urusan, saat itulah aku melihat sosoknya lagi. Dia berada di salah satu ruangan sebagai seorang dosen. Yang membuatku terkejut adalah bagaimana bisa dia memiliki begitu banyak pekerjaan? Pada awalnya aku melihat dia sebagai seorang pemilik kedai kopi, kemudian aku melihatnya sebagai seorang dokter, aku juga pernah melihatnya sebagai seorang CEO, dan sekarang dia adalah dosenku. Apa sebenarnya identitas asli dari sosok itu? Sudah bingung setengah mati dengan identitasnya, aku dikejutkan dengan kejadian yang tidak masuk akal. Hingga pada suatu titik aku mulai bertanya-tanya, apakah dia manusia?

My brother convinced my father to give me to the principal of an elite high school. When the principal was treating me like a dog, they showed off to the world with the money and the spot in the high school they had exchanged me for. I knew nothing about this and waited for them to rescue me. It was not until the principal showed me a video of how they were living a proud and happy life that I broke down in desperation and helplessness. On my third failed attempt at escape, the principal whipped me with a leather belt until I was almost dying. After that, he let his precious son, a German shepherd, torture me to death. When I next opened my eyes, I had returned to a time when none of this had happened yet. Well, my dear father and brother, do you think things would work out the way you want this time?

During the holiday, my six-year-old son received his cleft-lip surgery. He wore a mask and sat quietly in our family bookstore, engrossed in a picture book. A young man came in, pinching his nose dramatically as he swaggered up to the manager. "Why did you let someone with an infectious disease in here?" he demanded loudly. "Get them out!" The manager winced. "Sir, I'm sorry, but I don't have the authority to remove other customers." Undeterred, the man marched up to me. "Be wise and get out of here. My girlfriend is Imogen Slater, CEO of the Slater Group. You don't want to mess with me." I froze in stunned silence. Imogen despised all men except me, and this guy claimed she was his girlfriend.
