Cerita Ewe

“Percuma kamu Bapak sekolahkan tinggi-tinggi! Susah-susah pun maksain kamu biar masuk SMA, tapi mana nyatanya sekarang! Sudah mau satu tahun lulus sekolah tapi belum kerja juga! Belum ngasilin duit! Mending adik kamu yang sekolahnya SMP doang, sudah punya pacar anak tukang daging sapi, hidupnya terjamin!” celoteh Bapak. Orang yang Sumi paling takutkan ketika sudah bicara. Sumi menghela napas. Dia masih membelekangi Bapak dan mengiris bawang merah untuk masak. Untuk ke sekian kalinya omelan itu terasa menusuk hati Sumi. Bapak selalu mengungkit keinginannya untuk bersekolah lagi dan menyalahkan karena sampai saat ini belum menghasilkan rupiah. Hinaan, cibiran dan perlakuan Bapak membuat Sumi benar-benar terluka. Namun rupanya Tuhan mendengar setiap alunan doa yang dipanjatkan olehnya. Pertemuannya dengan Hiraka Yamada---seorang pegolf yang merupakan bos dari salah satu perusahaan automotive ternama di tanah air membuka jalannya untuk meraih kejayaan. Namun ada satu hal yang tiba-tiba terasa kosong, Zaki---sahabat dekat Sumi yang dulu selalu ada ketika dia butuhkan tiba-tiba menghilang. Sumi tak tahu jika Zaki menaruh rasa padanya. Zaki pergi dengan masih memendam segenggam cinta di hatinya. Akankah kehidupan mereka berakhir bahagia?

Setelah aku menolak mendonorkan rahim untuk kakakku, sahabat masa kecilku membenciku setengah mati. Dia menjebak dan mengirimku ke ranjang sang Tuan Muda penguasa ibu kota. Kabarnya, pria itu sangat membenci wanita yang mencoba mendekatinya. Semua orang menunggu kehancuranku, namun dia justru sangat memanjakanku. Tiga tahun berlalu. Saat aku mengira diriku hamil dan pergi ke rumah sakit untuk memeriksakan diri, tanpa sengaja aku mendengar percakapannya dengan dokter, "Andrew, tiga tahun lalu kamu menyuruhku memindahkan rahim Evelin Dumma ke kakaknya secara diam-diam, dan sekarang kamu menyuruhku berbohong bahwa dia mandul sejak lahir. Bagaimana kamu bisa tega bersikap sekejam itu pada wanita yang mencintaimu?" "Mau bagaimana lagi, Everin memenangkan hati keluarga suaminya. Dia nggak boleh menderita kalau nggak bisa punya anak. Hanya rahim Evelin yang cocok dengannya." Suara pria yang familier itu terdengar begitu dingin hingga terasa asing. Ternyata, cinta dan rasa aman yang selama ini kuyakini hanyalah sebuah penipuan belaka. Jika memang begitu, aku akan pergi saja.

-LUCIFER- I thrum my fingers on the armrest of my golden throne impatiently. It has been three months since the demon seer Greta had come to me claiming that I, the King of Hell, have a mate. In all my thousands of years, I had never expected to come across her. Hell, I didn’t expect that my Father would have even gifted me with a mate, after everything I had done to be kicked from Heaven. To my dismay, Greta hadn’t been very helpful with information regarding my mate and her whereabouts. So that same day I paid the Fates a visit. Two of the three old crones are quite fond of me and usually assist me whenever I require it. “Ah, Lucifer, this is a pleasant surprise.” Clotho comments as she works with the thread of destiny in her hands. “Yes, it’s been too long since your last visit.” Lachesis says as she turns towards me, her eyes roaming over my body appreciatively. Even if I wasn’t here about my mate, I would never touch her. Her and her sisters are literally shriveled up old ladies with grey hair and wrinkled skin...even the Devil has standards.

Caleb Smith's best friend, Kevin Baker, calls me in a panic and tells me that Caleb has been in a terrible racing accident. Without a second thought, I rush to the hospital and donate two pints of blood to save him. As I walk past a hospital room, I freeze. There's Caleb—standing perfectly healthy beside a hospital bed. Kevin throws his head back and howls with laughter. "It's April Fools' Day. We actually managed to trick Winnie Jewel into donating two pints of blood. Too bad that it's useless, though. We might as well feed it to the stray dogs." Vivian Jewel, lying in a hospital bed, looks up at Caleb. "Caleb, don't you think that's a bit much?" A fond smile curves Caleb's lips as he replies, "I can't help it. Where does Winnie get the nerve to take your place? She should have stayed in the orphanage, but since she forced her way back into the Jewel family, she can't blame us for taking your side." Kevin jumps in eagerly. "This year marks the eighth year since she returned to the Jewel family, and the eighth year we've been pranking her." Their undisguised mockery spills out of the room. I pull out my phone and contact my aunt, Gianna Jewel. "Aunt Gianna, I’ve decided. Let's leave the country."
