Buket Bunga Engagement

My grandfather died on a covert mission, and authorities approved a grand funeral in his honor. Concerned about my grief, my fiancé offered to handle the arrangements. On the day of the funeral, I arrived with my grandfather's ashes, only to find his portrait discarded on the ground, replaced by one of a dog. Furious, I tried to remove it, but my fiancé's adopted sister stopped me. "Hands off that portrait!" Suppressing my fury, I countered, "This is my grandfather's funeral. He was a decorated hero." "So what?" She shrugged, sneering, "Isaac said Luck deserves the grandest send-off. If you've got a problem, take it up with him. Adoring me, he'd cancel your engagement and ditch you in a heartbeat." I laughed incredulously, calling Isaac's family. "You people begged for this engagement. Since when does your adopted daughter get to call it off?"

Hindi sinasadya o sinadya man ng Tadhana na mag-krus ang landas ng lasing na si Bethany at nagtatanggal stress lang na si Gavin ng gabi ng engagement party ng ex-boyfriend ng dalaga; naniniwala sila na may malaking purpose ang pagtatagpo nila. Pagkatapos kasi ng gabing iyon ay sunod-sunod na ang naging interaksyon ng dalawa hanggang sa may mamuong pag-ibig at tuluyang mahulog ang damdamin sa bawat isa. Ngunit subalit datapwat, kagaya lang din ng ibang relasyon at pareha; susubukin sila ng panahon, huhubugin ng mga problema at susukatin ang tatag ng music teacher na si Bethany Guzman at ng abugadong si Gavin Dankworth kung hanggang saan aabot ang binhi ng pagmamahalan nilang naipunla.

After eight years together, I've proposed to my boyfriend 108 times. Each time, he found a different excuse to turn me down. On the 109th try, I give up a promotion and transfer opportunity. Finally, he said yes. I think he's moved by my sincerity. But instead, he brings his first love into our marital home and falls into our bed with her. "I only proposed to her to spite you. If you just say the word, I'll dump her at the altar and marry you instead!" Staring at the scene before me, I take the tight engagement ring off my finger and toss it down the drain. I decide to call off the wedding before he can. But after I walk away, the man who swore he'd marry someone else went crazy searching for me everywhere.

Childhood love. Diyan nagsimula ang lahat. Akala ko matamis ang unang pag-ibig. Pero ito pala ang magtuturo sa akin na sa buhay ay hindi puro kasiyahan lamang— na ang reyalidad sa mundo ay may kaakibat na paghihirap at sakit. Ibinigay ko ang lahat na kahit ang pangarap kong maging engineer ay isinakripisyo ko alang-alang sa lalakeng minamahal ko. Akala ko ay sapat na iyon para masungkit ko ang puso niya at ipaalala sa kanya ang mga pangakong binitiwan niya. Pero hindi pa pala sapat kahit na pati sarili ko ay ibinigay ko ng buo sa kanya. Walang kulang, labis-labis na pagmamahal. Lumayo ako dala ang bunga ng aking pagmamahal at ng kanyang kapusukan. Hindi ko sinalba ang sarili ko, sinalba ko ang magiging anak ko. Muli, inakala kong nakalaya na ako sa bulag na pag-ibig. Pero sadyang mapagbiro ang tadhana— nagkita kaming muli sa hindi inaasahang pagkakataon. Wala siyang maalala. Ginamit ko iyon para makapaghiganti. Pero hanggang kailan ko lolokohin ang sarili? Hanggang kailan ako tatakbo para hanapin ang sariling minsang nawala dahil sa aking unang pag-ibig?

Setelah mengumumkan pengunduran diri, banyak orang bersorak dan sangat setuju. Hanya pacarku yang terlibat gosip dengan seorang pria bernama Sherwin, seorang musisi jenius yang tidak setuju. Di depan banyak wartawan, pria itu berpura-pura peduli. “Semua ini salah paham. Kak Yonatan adalah musisi berbakat yang tak tergantikan di dunia musik. Aku berharap dia bisa kembali berkarya.” Aku mematikan ponsel dan mengabaikannya. Di kehidupan sebelumnya, karya dan laguku sama persis dengannya. Netizen menyebutku plagiat, bahkan mengutuk seluruh keluargaku. Aku tidak terima dan membuktikan proses pembuatan laguku, tapi tetap saja kalah dengan waktu rilis lagunya. Lagu barunya dirilis sepuluh menit lebih cepat dariku. Hanya karena sepuluh menit itu, netizen mengirimkan karangan bunga dan foto pemakamanku, bahkan ada yang datang ke rumahku untuk menyiram cat. Selama beberapa tahun, perundungan media yang terus-menerus membuatku mengalami depresi. Orang tuaku menghabiskan semua harta mereka untuk membersihkan namaku, tetapi akhirnya mereka dibakar hidup-hidup oleh penggemar fanatik. Pada hari Sherwin memenangkan Golden Melody Awards untuk ciptaan lagunya, aku melompat dari gedung tinggi. Tak kusangka, saat membuka mata lagi, aku terlahir kembali.
