Cara Membuka Mata

"Yang membuatku menjadi murahan begini, bukankah kamu?" (AMEENA) "Maafin aku, Am. Aku bener-bener nyesel." (ASHRAFF) *** Ketika SMA, Ashraff dan Ameena saling bersaing untuk meraih rangking satu. Di belakang Ameena, Ashraff menyuruh sosok ratu sekolah bernama Olyzia untuk mem-bully Ameena supaya fokus Ameena bisa terganggu. Yang terburuk, Ashraff tidak segan-segan untuk memfitnah Ameena, mengatakan bahwa Ameena sudah merayu sosok preman sekolah bernama Mirza untuk berbuat tidak senonoh hingga mampu membuat Ameena dicap murahan dan dikeluarkan dari sekolah. Aslinya, Ashraff tahu benar kalau Ameena habis dilecehkan Mirza. Tapi, bukankah untuk bisa memenangkan sesuatu kadang-kadang memang memerlukan taktik kotor? Atas dasar fitnah dari Ashraff, Ameena memilih untuk merealisasikan sebutan 'murahan' dengan menjalin hubungan terlarang bersama sosok laki-laki bernama Krishna. Yang menjadi masalah, Krishna memiliki seorang istri bermental psikopat bernama Qiya. Di tangan istri dari Krishna, nyawa Ameena terenggut dengan cara mengenaskan. Ameena diperkosa sama orang-orang suruhan Qiya secara bergilir sampai meninggal dunia dan mayat Ameena dibuang ke sungai dalam keadaan tidak berbusana, melainkan sebatas dibungkus dengan menggunakan karung. Merasa bersalah atas kehidupan Ameena, Ashraff memohon kepada Yang Maha Kuasa untuk dikembalikan ke hari-hari sebelum kematian Ameena. Jika dikabulkan, maka Ashraff akan berusaha untuk membayar semua kesalahan Ashraff kepada Ameena. Andaikan Ashraff sungguh-sungguh diberikan kesempatan kedua, apakah Ashraff akan berhasil menyelamatkan Ameena? ***

Aku dan kekasih masa lalu suamiku diculik orang secara bersamaan. Sebagai ahli negosiasi, suamiku langsung datang ke lokasi secepat mungkin untuk menolong kami. Namun, di saat penculik itu setuju untuk melepaskan satu sandera, suamiku setuju untuk membiarkanku dibawa pergi penculik itu demi menyelamatkan kekasih masa lalunya. Aku berlutut memohon padanya untuk menolongku terlebih dahulu. Namun, dia malah menunjukkan ekspresi datar di wajahnya. "Elowyn masih suci. Kalau sampai dinodai orang, dia nggak akan sanggup menerimanya. Kamu berbeda. Kamu sudah nikah sama aku. Kalaupun dinodai orang, aku nggak akan membencimu." Aku didorong ke kaki penculik itu dengan kejam. Mungkin dia tidak tahu, aku sudah hamil tiga bulan dan dia akan menjadi seorang ayah.

Depois que tranquei a faculdade, meus pais não me pressionaram. Mas a amiga de infância do meu namorado, que sempre cultivou a imagem de ser uma pessoa superinteligente, me ligou. Eu estava ocupada aproveitando a vida no interior, cultivando uma horta, nadando no riacho, sem tempo algum para programar. Na vida passada, ela entregou, um dia antes de mim, um projeto de programação idêntico ao meu. Todos me insultaram, dizendo que eu era desavergonhada, acusando-me de plágio e fraude. Tentei me explicar, mas ninguém acreditou em mim. Depois, ela ainda fez lives, caluniando-me na internet, dizendo que eu praticava bullying no campus. Atacaram minha família nas redes sociais de maneira enlouquecida, meus pais, tentando fugir de perseguidores extremistas, acabaram sofrendo um acidente de carro e faleceram. Não suportando o golpe, saltei de um prédio alto, morta sem poder descansar em paz. Até o último instante, enquanto minha consciência se dissipava, eu não conseguia entender o que havia acontecido. Era claramente o fruto do meu próprio esforço, por que alguém conseguiu publicar antes de mim? Quando abri os olhos novamente, eu, Sílvia Simões, voltei para o dia anterior ao incidente do plágio.
