August Month Quotes

Harta, tahta, tanpa wanita. Begitulah garis hidup yang dijalani seorang Dewa August Lee saat ini. Pernah satu kali menikah lalu bercerai, satu kali bertunangan kemudian batal di tengah jalan, dan satu kali menjalin kasih dengan istri sahabatnya lalu ditinggal, pas lagi sayang-sayangnya. Semua itu membuat Dewa menyerah pada takdir. Sudah enggan menempatkan hati kepada seorang gadis, sampai dirinya bertemu dengan Rindu Anahita. --- “Ngomong-ngomong, jadi anggota dewan itu enak, ya, Pak!” kata Rindu memasang senyum terbaiknya. Melangkah mundur untuk bersandar pada dinding lift. “Biar pun tidur pas rapat paripurna, gaji sama tunjangan tetap jalan terus.” “Kamu mau nyinggung saya?” Kedua alis Dewa itu mengerut seraya berbalik dan memangkas jaraknya dengan Rindu “Bapak tersinggung?” Rindu bertanya balik. Memasang wajah terkejut lalu menutup mulut dengan kedua tangan sejenak. “Bapak juga pernah tidur pas rapat?” “Enggaklah!” Dewa menjawab tegas tapi geregetan. “Baguslah!” Rindu dengan berani mengangkat dagu untuk mempertemukan maniknya dengan Dewa. “Mendingan juga tidur sama saya! Iya, kan, Pak!” ~~~ Spin off ~ Me and My Broken Pieces ~ Broken

A month before the SATs, I, Jenny Reid, could see my score. Literally. It was just floating right above my head. But there was a catch. Every time I cracked open a prep book, my score would drop by ten points. But if I skipped a day of school? It jumped right back up by ten. So, I played the system. For a whole month, I barely lifted a finger. And on the day of the test, the number glowing over my head was a solid 1560. When the scores finally dropped online… I'd scored a 500. And the 1560? That was my little sister Patricia's score. My parents lost it. As punishment, they got me a grueling night-shift job at a local electronics factory. That first night, a bunch of guys I'd never seen before cornered me in the parking lot and beat me half to death. Fading in and out of consciousness, I heard my sister's voice right by my ear. "You just had to one-up me, didn't you? Thought you were so smart… but you never figured out I was the one controlling that number over your head." The truth hit me like a physical blow. The score had been her trick all along. I opened my eyes—and I was back. One month before the SATs. The number above my head read exactly 1300. "Hey," my sister said, all fake sweetness. "Want to study together tonight? We can go over the practice tests." I looked at the stack of papers in my own hands. Without a word, I pulled out my lighter and set them on fire right there in the driveway. "Exams are coming," I said, watching the flames. "I'm not studying." My score ticked up to 1310. My sister's face was this perfect mask of disappointment, but the second I turned away, I caught the sly smile she couldn't quite hide. She had no idea… the real performance, the one I'd been rehearsing just for her, was finally about to begin.

After I refused for the eighth time to give my daughter a monthly allowance of $80, she went live online to denounce me. During the broadcast, she shared screenshots of our messages, showing how she had repeatedly and desperately asked me for money after the new school term began. "Mom, I just got my period. I do not have money to buy sanitary pads. Could you send me this month's allowance?" I replied calmly, "No." "Mom, I have not eaten in three days. I am really hungry." I responded with sarcasm. "What does that have to do with me?" The screen quickly filled with comments calling me suffocatingly cruel and heartless. Looking straight into the camera, she sobbed uncontrollably.

Why are you treating your own daughter so harshly?" I looked at her calmly. "Try livestreaming seven days of life with me and my daughter. "If you can do that, you'll understand."
