And I really want to get out of these clothes.” “What if someone catches you... me, both?” “We will be in the pool, Ethan. And no one can see us from the living room.” I smirked when I said, “Unless you want to watch me while I swim, you can stay here.” His eyes darkened, and he looked away, probably thinking the same when I noticed red blush creeping up his neck and making his ears and cheeks flush. Cute. “Come on, Ethan. Don’t be a chicken...” “Fine.” His voice was rough when he said, “Remove that sweater first.”

When I was seven years old, a handsome man Mom brought home gave me a box of mangoes. That day, Dad watched me happily eating the mangoes as he signed his name on the divorce agreement. Then, he jumped to his death. From that day on, mangoes became a lifelong nightmare for me. So, on our wedding day, I told my wife, Irene Johnson, "If you ever want a divorce, just give me a mango." She held me without saying a word. From that moment on, mangoes became forbidden for her as well. … On the fifth Christmas Eve after we got married, Irene's childhood sweetheart, Steven Carter, placed a mango on her desk. That same day, she announced that she was cutting ties with him and fired him from the company. That day, I felt that she was the woman destined for me. ... Six months later, I return from overseas after closing a billion-dollar deal. At the celebration dinner, Irene hands me a drink. After I drink half of it, Steven, the man who was kicked out of the company, stands behind me and grins. "Is the mango juice good?" he asks. I look at Irene in disbelief, but she is holding back a laugh. "Don't be mad. Steve insisted I play a joke on you. I didn't give you a mango, just a bottle of its juice. "But I think Steve is right. There's something wrong with you for not eating mangoes. Look at how much you enjoyed it just now!" she says. I keep a cold expression, raise my hand, and splash the remaining mango juice onto her face. Then, I turn and walk away. Some things are never a joke. Mangoes aren't, and neither is my decision to divorce.

Ethan chokes out, "Since Mom and Dad loves you so much, you'll definitely receive their votes, Emma." I turn to look at the judge instead. "After I'm reborn, can I request a new pair of parents? It's fine if the answer is no. My parents will still die, anyway."

On the day I go to the car dealership to pick up my car, I'm told that the previous salesperson has resigned, so a different salesperson will attend to me. Yet the first thing the salesperson does is say that I paid too little for the car and demand that I pay more to make up the difference. "The other salesperson is truly an idiot. How could he sell a car for 300 thousand dollars in cash? It's no wonder he got chewed out and quit. If you want to take the car, you'll have to switch to a five-year loan with an interest rate of 12%." I'm rendered speechless as he blatantly tries to extort me. "I've already paid and signed the sales contract. You're breaching the contract!" The salesperson scoffs. "So what? The car is with us anyway. If you're not going to pay the difference, don't even think of taking the car with you!" I can't help but chuckle. I calmly pull my phone out of my suit pocket. "Walter, place Mr. Paul Roland's loan application on hold for now. He's earning big bucks for his business. It seems like he doesn't need it anymore."

My wife cheats on me after five years of marriage. Standing at the doorway, I hear her whisper to her lover in a soft voice, "What are you afraid of? He's broke and pathetic.

This time, I will see who is the broke and pathetic one!

Di tengah malam Ramadan yang tenang, takdir mempertemukan Zidan, seorang ustaz muda yang disiapkan menjadi imam besar, dengan Salma, dokter jaga yang tangguh namun menyimpan luka masa lalu. Pertemuan singkat di lorong IGD menjadi awal dari keterikatan jiwa yang perlahan tumbuh di balik batas-batas yang tak mudah dilewati. Ketika Salma menjadi relawan di masjid tempat Zidan mengajar, kedekatan mereka diuji oleh benturan prinsip, perbedaan jalan hidup, serta hadirnya seorang anak kecil bernama Aisha yang sakit parah dan butuh kehadiran keduanya. Di tengah kesibukan merawat dan berjuang, muncul rasa yang tak bisa mereka sembunyikan, namun juga tak mudah mereka perjuangkan. Saat penyakit menimpa orang tua, tawaran pernikahan dari pria lain datang, dan tekanan dari masyarakat mulai membesar, Zidan dan Salma harus memilih: menjaga perasaan atau menjaga kehormatan. Sebuah akad sederhana di rumah sakit menjadi jalan sunyi yang mereka pilih. Tapi ujian tak berhenti. Dari gempa, kehilangan, hingga perpisahan panjang—semua menguji makna cinta sejati. Dan di Padang Arafah, mereka bersatu kembali... demi janji yang ingin diridhoi, bukan hanya oleh hati, tapi juga oleh Ilahi.
