Arti Oge

Orang tuaku mengadopsi seorang anak yatim piatu dan aku sangat menyayanginya, bahkan memperlakukannya layaknya anakku sendiri. Sampai akhirnya aku sadar, wajahnya semakin mirip dengan suamiku, Yobel, bahkan diam-diam memanggil adikku dengan sebutan ‘ibu’. Ternyata, suamiku yang begitu mencintaiku sudah lama berselingkuh. Dia dan adikku diam-diam membangun keluarga bahagia, bahkan mendapat restu dari orang tuaku. Saat semuanya terbongkar, adikku memohon agar aku merestui mereka dan orang tuaku menyuruhku untuk mengalah. Anak yang begitu kusayangi selama ini, malah mengutukku dengan kejam. Namun, mereka tak menyangka, sebenarnya Yobel yang menolak untuk bercerai. Dia menangis memohon pengampunanku, berkata bahwa dia benar-benar mencintaiku dan anak itu hanyalah sebuah kecelakaan. Aku berpura-pura percaya pada ketulusannya, lalu berkata, “Tujuh hari, aku kasih kamu tujuh hari. Kalau kamu bisa menunjukkan ketulusanmu, aku akan memaafkanmu.” Yobel senang bukan main dan menuruti semua perkataanku, memperlakukanku seperti harta berharga. Demi diriku, dia bahkan menyumbangkan seluruh tabungannya, memaksa adikku berlutut di salju untuk meminta maaf padaku. Semua orang mengira aku akan memaafkannya, hingga hari di mana polisi datang untuk menyuruh mereka mengidentifikasi jenazah. Saat itulah, Yobel benar-benar gila. Yobel tidak tahu, sebenarnya aku sudah mati sejak tujuh hari lalu. Hanya saja, malaikat kematian memberiku izin kembali ke dunia selama tujuh hari, untuk berpamitan dengan Yobel.

Até que ponto meu marido já me amou um dia? Naquela época, para poder se casar comigo, ele me pediu em casamento noventa e nove vezes. Somente na centésima vez, fui finalmente tocada por sua tenacidade. Tornei-me a Sra. Menezes, invejada por todos em Cidade Solmar. No dia do nosso casamento, dei a ele noventa e nove cupons de perdão. Combinamos que, enquanto esses cupons de perdão não fossem todos usados, eu permaneceria sempre ao seu lado. Em cinco anos de casamento, cada vez que ele saía para encontrar seu antigo amor, um cupom de perdão era usado. Quando ele usou o 97º cupom, ele de repente percebeu que eu havia mudado. Eu não chorava mais, nem implorava para que ele ficasse. Só quando ele perdia a cabeça por sua secretária, encantadora e ingênua, eu perguntava baixinho: — Se você vai ficar com ela, posso usar um cupom de perdão? O homem hesitou por um momento, e uma rara brandura surgiu em seu coração: — Tudo bem, de qualquer forma, só usei uns sessenta e poucos. Pode usar se quiser. Eu assenti com um murmúrio e o deixei ir. Ele não sabia que aquele era o 97º cupom de perdão que usava. Restavam apenas dois dos nossos cupons de perdão.

On the day of my wedding anniversary, I was cleaning my house when I found a picture album. As it turned out, my husband had been religiously taking pictures with the girl of his dreams every year on this precise date. He had been doing it since he was forty years old and he was now sixty years old. His hair had progressed from a jet black to a faded white and yet, he kept up the tradition. There was a written message in his handwriting at the back of the picture that read, “Eternal Love.” Since he doesn't love me, I will no longer bother washing his clothes and cooking for him. I will no longer care for his children and grandchildren. I may have foolishly wasted half of my life, but it was not too late to make a change.

Elle avait tout pour briller : un talent rare, un avenir prometteur, une lumière que personne ne pouvait ignorer. Mais par amour, elle a tout sacrifié. Pour lui, elle s'est effacée. Pour lui, elle a renoncé à ses rêves. Pendant cinq ans, elle est devenue l'épouse silencieuse, discrète, transparente. Celle qui attend patiemment un regard, un geste, un mot tendre qui ne vient jamais. Il ne l'a jamais vraiment aimée. Elle n'était qu'un réconfort, un visage familier en attendant le retour de l'autre. Quand son ex-petite amie refait surface, il la rejette sans hésitation. « Divorçons. Tu n'as jamais été qu'un substitut. » Mais la douleur lui révèle l'horreur : les « vitamines » qu'il lui donnait chaque jour n'étaient que des pilules contraceptives. Il lui a volé bien plus que son temps. Il lui a volé son choix. Elle part sans un cri, sans une larme. Et des années plus tard, elle renaît. Brillante. Libre. Accomplie. Lui ? Il regrette. Il la cherche. Il veut la reconquérir. Mais comment rattraper celle qu'on a laissée partir… quand elle n'a plus aucune raison de revenir ?

When I went to the hospital for a checkup to see if my fourth IVF attempt had succeeded, I saw Daniel Cooper, who was supposed to be on a business trip. He was carefully supporting a young, beautiful woman as they walked out of the obstetrics and gynecology department. Her belly was unmistakably round, and she looked like she was ready to give birth at any moment. Daniel froze for just a second before stepping in front of her, shielding her from me. He explained, "Abby, the Cooper family needs an heir to carry on the lineage. Once the baby is born, everything will go back to the way it was." I heard the certainty in his words. So I smiled, nodded, and quietly tucked my test results away as he stared at me in surprise. On the day she gave birth, I left the divorce papers on the kitchen table and walked out of his life for good.

When my daughter, Lily Gage, has a parent-teacher meeting going on, she requests that my wife, Melody Hutton, and I attend it. Yet, Melody doesn't inform me about the meeting. Instead, she takes her secretary, Benjamin Carter, to the meeting. After the meeting, Melody explains that she doesn't have the heart to interrupt me, seeing as I'm too busy with work. In order to maintain the peace of this family, I decide to endure Melody's shenanigans just this once. But one day, Lily has gotten into a fight with another student at school. By the time I arrive, I witness Benjamin dealing with the situation with Lily in his arms. After asking Lily's teacher for more information, I find out that Lily has actually changed an emergency contact. Apparently, she has filled in Benjamin's contact information in the father's column. Also, Melody has given her permission for Lily to make the change. At that moment, I've lost all interest in staying in this family. That night, I bring up divorce in front of Melody. She just smiles mockingly at me. "So, you want to get divorced just because Benjamin's an emergency contact now?" "That's right."

Pour Isabelle, ce jour devait être le plus beau. Mais il est devenu le pire, celui qui a basculé son monde. La trahison de son fiancé a brisé son cœur alors qu’il venait à peine de lui jurer un amour éternel. Cette blessure fut si profonde qu’elle faillit l’emporter, la contraignant à disparaître, à changer d’identité et à vivre loin de tout, même de son bien-aimé Clément. Quatre ans plus tard, celle qui se fait désormais appeler Rachelle revient, animée par une seule obsession : se venger de celui qui est responsable de son sort. Mais son plan prend une tournure inattendue dès son retour lorsqu’elle croise le chemin de Clément. À sa stupéfaction, il la reconnaît instantanément, refusant de croire à sa nouvelle vie. « Même si tu reviens avec une autre identité, je sais que tu m’aimes toujours », dit Clément d’un ton amusé en la serrant fort dans ses bras. « Lâchez-moi, monsieur. Je m’appelle Rachelle, et non Isabelle », rétorque-t-elle, furieuse, en essayant de se dégager. « Je t’ai toujours mieux connue que toi-même. Que ces quelques années loin de moi ne te trompent pas : tu es mon Isabelle, l’amour de ma vie », insiste-t-il en resserrant son étreinte. « Plus jamais je ne te laisserai partir. Tu es à moi, et à moi seul. » Tiraillée entre sa soif de vengeance et les sentiments tumultueux que sa présence réveille, Rachelle/Isabelle se retrouve à un carrefour. Parviendra-t-elle à mener à bien sa revanche, ou l’emprise persistante de Clément et le passé qu’ils ont partagé auront-ils raison de sa colère ? Son retour marquera-t-il la fin de leur histoire d’amour, ou le début d’un nouveau chapitre, forgé dans le pardon ou la destruction ?
