Caption Bersyukur

My son, Scott Gould, suddenly tells me that he has leukemia. Then, he goes on to say that his biggest wish is to see Ivanna Newman in a wedding dress. My husband, Theodore Gould, agrees with Scott. "I'll hold a wedding with Ivanna. Once Scott is done with his treatment, we'll get remarried." I gladly agree to the request and divorce Theodore. Not long after, I learn from Scott's social media that he's attending the wedding of Theodore and his childhood sweetheart, Ivanna. The caption he writes says, "I'm so happy for Dad. I can't help but shed tears for true love." I smile and turn off my phone. Holding the hand of the person next to me, I board a plane to Wismuth.

Colter Giordano, my fiancé of six years, heir to the Giordano family, took a bullet for a dancer named Mia. He didn't take one for me. A bullet tore through my shoulder. Blood bloomed across my dress, hot and sticky. But my heart hurt worse. He asked if I was okay. Just once. Then he rushed Mia to the hospital, leaving me bleeding on the floor. The next day, Mia's picture popped up on my Instagram feed. There she was, in a luxury hospital suite. Colter was fussing over a scratch on her arm that was barely there. The caption was just two words: "My Hero." I liked the post. Then I made an encrypted call. "The Falcone family's offer," I said. "I'm taking it. Get me on a plane to Sicily. Three days."

To help my surgeon husband with his erectile dysfunction, I made an appointment with an expert six months in advance. But as the day approached, Isiah Coleman canceled it without explanation. Just as I was about to call him to demand answers, I spotted a post from his female friend on her social media. My usually stoic husband was beaming as he wrapped his arms around her. The caption read: [Only I can cure your illness.] What struck me, though, was the telltale bulge in his pants in the photo—a reaction I'd never seen from him with me. With a cold laugh, I liked the post and left a comment: [What a miracle worker!] The post exploded, with everyone speculating whether I'd confront the mistress. But what awaited him after the holiday was our freshly printed divorce certificate.

Status married tidak cukup untuk membuat seorang Ellard bisa meninggalkan sang kekasih. Wanita yang ia kencani selama dua tahun, tak akan pernah bisa digantikan termasuk Alura istrinya. Bella Nayaka seperti menawarkan dunia yang lebih indah. Sikap dan tingkah lakunya tidak pernah bisa membuat Ellard berpaling. Meski tidak mampu mengikat Bella dalam ikatan pernikahan, Ellard masih tetap bersyukur setidaknya cinta wanita itu tetap untuknya. Mereka kerap bertemu tanpa sepengetahuan Alura. Entah bisa disebut sebagai perselingkuhan atau bukan. Tapi perlu diketahui, hubungan ini memang sudah ada jauh sebelum Ellard mengenal Alura.

My husband asked me if bras were more comfortable without underwire, and I was happy that he had finally become more mature. The next day, his assistant snatched the parcel I received in the mail, saying that it had the wrong address. That night, I saw Samantha Davis post on her social media, with the caption, “My boyfriend bought this for me. Isn’t it pretty?” It was a selfie taken in a hotel mirror, and there was a beautifully decorated box containing a bra lying beside her. So, as it turned out, it was not that men became mature later in life, it was that you weren’t the one they were willing to become mature for. Naturally, I gave the post a like and took a screenshot before sending it to my husband. "What a waste. You could have gotten an 20% discount if you bought the whole set."

[Unfamiliar, rare, strange, and yet marvelous] Sebuah kecelakaan terjadi di suatu kota yang menyebabkan lingkaran takdir baru diantara dua orang wanita, yang mana menghubungkan sebuah ikatan yang lama sekali terpendam. Kylee dan Jean, dua wanita yang berbeda kepribadian, berbeda pekerjaan, hobi, atau bisa disebut orang asing, tiba-tiba dihubungkan dengan sebuah kecelakaan yang mengakibatkan keduanya bertukar jiwa. Keduanya beralih peran yang mana Kylee menjadi Jean dengan dunia Jean tergolong hangat. Dan Jean yang menjadi Kylee dengan dunia Kylee yang lumayan dingin. Keduanya mempunyai seseorang yang selalu di sampingnya. Kerumitan dimulai ketika ternyata Kylee mempunyai seorang tunangan pemilik perusahaan property besar bernama GO GRUP, bernama Gavin. Brian adalah tetangga Jean yang menurut Jean menyebalkan. Keempat orang itu terikat dalam takdir baru yang melibatkan perasaan mereka meski dengan kepribadian Kylee dan Jean yang berbeda. "Aku hanya tak mengerti mengapa Tuhan mengabulkan doa ku begitu cepat. Dan semenjak itu aku tahu bahwa Tuhan sayang padaku. Memberikan sosok yang hangat mengisi kehidupanku yang selalu kosong, dengan canda tawa yang kini menghiasi hidupku dengan penuh warna. Walaupun sementara… tak mengapa, aku tetap bahagia." – Kylee. "Bahagia mungkin benar adanya, namun kini ku sesali semuanya. Bersyukur memang hal yang tak mudah, namun dengan teguran yang Tuhan berikan, aku kini menyadari bahwa bersyukur memiliki sosok yang selalu ada di sampingku itu ada. Namun teguran yang di berikan Tuhan, juga membuatku dapat belajar akan kerasnya hidup dan kejamnya dunia." – Jean.

Memiliki kekasih yang tampan dan mapan memang dambaan setia wanita. Namun, bagaimana dengan Krystal yang tidak pernah bersyukur dengan itu. Memiliki Samudra yang tampan, mapan dan bertanggung jawab nyatanya tidak membuat Krystal setia kepada Samudra. Faktanya, Krystal jatuh cinta kembali dengan seorang lelaki yang usianya terpaut jauh dengan dirinya. Namanya, Abraham. Dan Abraham ini tak lain adalah ayah dari kekasihnya sendiri, Samudra. Bahkan, Krystal telah kehilangan akalnya dengan mengandung benih dari ayah kekasihnya. Apa yang akan terjadi pada Krystal? Apakah dia mendapatkan cinta dari Abraham? Atau Krystal akan kehilangan keduanya?

"Aku akan datang, sebagai badai yang akan menghancurkan kalian!" Menemani sang kekasih berjuang dari nol adalah kesalahan fatal yang dilakukan Josephine Orville. Semua pengorbanan yang dilakukannya berbalas pengkhianatan. Bukannya bersyukur memiliki kekasih yang rela membantu membiayai kuliahnya hingga lulus, Dexter justru bermain api dengan teman masa kecil Josephine. Chelsea Melden, yang merupakan anak dari pemilik rumah sakit tempatnya mengabdi menjadi pilihan alternatif untuk masa depan yang lebih cerah. Bagaikan sampah yang sudah tidak lagi berguna, Josephine dicampakan. Dibuang ke jurang, lalu namanya pun dibuat tercemar. Namun, tujuh tahun kemudian wanita itu muncul kembali untuk menghancurkan mereka yang telah menyakitinya.

Chase Grimm's aide-de-camp sent me a screenshot of an Instagram Live status. Guess who it came from. His new secretary. She was showing off a meticulously prepared lunch from a lunchbox. My handiwork, no less. I made it for him. The caption read: [He's a dark, cold CEO… and a shiny knight who saved a hungry princess with a gastric problem from eating mac 'n' cheese again!] Chase almost never posted on Instagram. Yet there he was, sharing a photo of a cup of ridiculously spicy mac 'n' cheese, captioned: [I have missed this.] The nerve of this prick. Then my mother-in-law sent an entirely unsolicited text: [What the heck were you doing?! You're supposed to make him a proper lunch! He can't stand spicy food!] After all that, I decided to call a supermarket. "Hi! I'd like to order 100 cups of instant super-spicy mac 'n' cheese and have them delivered to Grimm Co. Please and thank you." "Ain't I generous?"

During the long National Day holidays, I planned a Golden Highlands trip for the whole family. I even booked tickets for a luxurious train ride so we could enjoy the scenery. But on departure day, my husband and son vanished. I called my husband. I could hear an airport boarding announcement in the background. My voice trembled. "Where are you?" He panicked and mumbled that the company had an emergency before hanging up. I tried calling again, but the line was busy. The next day, he posted an update on his social media. In the photo, he stood beneath the snowy peaks of Wintercrown with one arm around his old love while the other held our son. The caption read: [If we had been a little braver back then...] A friend commented: [Where is your wife?] I stared at his reply: [She's sick and resting at home.] Three expired train tickets sat on the table as my eyes welled up with tears. A decade of marriage. A pack of lies. It was time to bring it all to a close.
