Caption Perpisahan

Kisah yang tak pernah muncul ke permukaan bumi antara Kania dan Erlan. Tak ada manusia lain yang tahu bahwa ada kisah cinta seindah kisah mereka. Berdampingan, tapi tak pernah bersatu. Keduanya dipisah karena perbedaan kasta dan restu orang tua. Bagaimana pengorbanan cinta yang tulus akan berakhir? Sanggupkah Erlan dan Kania saling melupakan setelah perpisahan berat mereka?

Saat acara kemah perpisahan sekolah, aku tersesat di hutan dan mendadak mendapat bayangan bahwa aku akan mati muda jika terus mengejar lelaki yang selama ini kucintai. Semua tampak begitu nyata, hingga aku pun memutuskan untuk membalikkan takdir! Hanya saja, mengapa lelaki itu tak percaya? Bahkan pamannya yang paling berkuasa di keluarga kini ikut mengejarku dan ingin memanjakanku...?

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.

Setiap ada pertemuan selalu ada perpisahan dan di setiap terjadi perpisahan, semua orang berharap bisa bertemu dengan hal yang lebih baik lagi.

Natan-suami Meliana memutuskan untuk menikah kembali dan sesuai dengan janji keduanya, Meliana memilih untuk mundur daripada berbagi suami, gelar janda kini ia sandang. Arga Pradipta, dia teman lama sekaligus cinta monyet Meliana. Pernikahannya bersama sang istri juga tidak berumur panjang karena penyakit kronis itu merenggut nyawa Nia-istri Arga dalam waktu yang singkat, sampai detik ini dia tidak kunjung bisa melupakan Nia, bahkan dia hapus niat untuk menikah lagi. Suatu hari Meliana dan Arga dipertemukan kembali, tanpa ada yang berencana ataupun berharap, keduanya pun bersikap acuh seolah tidak pernah mengenal satu sama lain. Apa takdir akan menyatukan mereka dan membuat cinta monyet itu menjadi nyata?

Perpisahan dan Luka Hujan turun deras malam itu, membasahi kaca jendela ruang sidang yang sudah kosong. Hanya tinggal dua sos uhok yang berdiri saling membelakangi. Arga Pratama, pria berusia tiga puluh dua tahun dengan jas hitam yang masih rapi meski wajahnya letih, menegakkan tubuhnya. Matanya menatap lurus pada dokumen perceraian di atas meja. Ia menandatangani tanpa gemetar, meski dalam hatinya ada sesuatu yang remuk.

I went to exactly one party in my new, wealthy neighborhood. Then my neighbor Brenda sued me. In court, she held her bruised and battered daughter, Tiffany. She accused my son of rape. Mid-hearing, Tiffany tugged her collar down. Red marks circled her neck. "He tried to rip my pants off," she sobbed. "He tried to force himself on me. I fought back. So he beat me. He ruined my face!" Outside the courthouse, protesters held up signs, calling my son a piece of trash, a spoiled rich kid. Online, a photoshopped memorial of me went viral. The caption read: The unfit mother should die with her son. My company’s stock plummeted. But I just sat there. Stone-faced. I asked for my son, Cooper, to be brought in. The courtroom doors opened. Cooper walked in. Everyone froze.

Laras diceraikan oleh suaminya yang bernama Sofian, karena laki-laki itu tidak pernah mencintainya. Ia memilih kembali pada mantan kekasih yang dulu sempat meninggalkannya. Namun setelah perpisahan itu, Sofian justru dihantui oleh kenangan tentang kelembutan, kesabaran, dan perhatian Laras yang tulus. Sementara Laras sendiri berjuang untuk menata hidupnya dari awal, tapi tak disangka jika takdir akan mempertemukan mereka kembali... Apakah cinta yang pernah disia-siakan masih bisa hidup untuk kedua kalinya?

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.

Today is the sixth time my girlfriend, Shirley Lake, is supposed to meet my parents. My parents and I wait at the restaurant for four whole hours. I call her over and over again, but she never picks up. Just as I'm about to try one last time, I see Shirley's childhood sweetheart, Joshua Solomon, post a picture on his Instagram, with the location tagged at a suburban hotel. The picture shows a woman's pale back, one shoulder bare, with a striking red spider lily tattoo visible on her skin. Underneath the picture was the caption, "We'll make it from 18 to 80." A mutual friend comments, "First-love couples are the sweetest!" I silently hit the like button, then comment, "Make sure to get buried together when you die. And don't come back to haunt anyone else."
