Dean Thomas

For the ninety-ninth time, Thomas Wells brought a strange woman home. Following his instructions, I was washing Chloe Brooks's feet. Without warning, she kicked the basin violently, sending hot water splashing onto my face. "Thomas, Ms. Harris just pinched my foot! My feet are for ballet—I'm in so much pain. What am I supposed to do for tomorrow's competition?" Thomas flew into a rage. To punish me, he had someone bring a brazier, and I was forced to press my foot into the burning coals. The smell of burning flesh filled the entire living room in an instant. Thomas paid no attention as I collapsed to the floor, curling up and breaking out in a cold sweat. He turned away, carrying Chloe off to the bedroom. Shortly afterward, I called Thomas's sister, Tracy. "Tracy, I'm sorry. I don't intend to be with Thomas anymore." After that, I left and vanished from his life. Later, I heard that Mr. Wells of the Wells family had gone mad.

I am heading to my job interview when my close friend, Thomas Lang—the same guy who always cautions me about meddling in other people's business—suddenly throws caution to the wind and sprints toward the wrecked limousine. I instantly realize that Thomas has been reborn, too. In my past life, Thomas and I were the top two graduates of the finance department, both making it to the final round of interviews at a Fortune 500 conglomerate. Yet, on the day of the interview, we suddenly came across the CEO, Ruth Gibson, who had just gotten involved in a car crash. I abandoned the interview to save her, while Thomas hurried off to the interview. In the end, Thomas landed the offer, while I lost my shot at working at the top conglomerate. I received sympathy from everyone around me. However, Ruth sought me out eventually, and in the spirit of profound gratitude, she presented me with an immediate proposal of marriage. I became the man who would marry Thomas' superior, achieving incredible status overnight. Meanwhile, Thomas stayed an ordinary worker, perpetually crushed by impossible metrics and corporate pressure. I was enjoying the heights of my privilege at the annual dinner, standing beside Ruth, while Thomas lurked in the background. He was a miserable face lost among the nameless guests. Consumed by jealousy, he brandished a knife and stabbed me to death right there. I suddenly open my eyes and realize we are both back at this single, pivotal day of Ruth's accident.

Di lingkungan para konglomerat, ada sebuah aturan tak tertulis, yaitu pasangan yang menikah karena aliansi keluarga boleh saja punya kehidupan masing-masing di luar. Namun, apa pun yang dibelikan untuk selingkuhan, wajib dibelikan juga untuk pasangan sah di rumah. Dean Ramosh adalah orang yang sangat berprinsip. Jadi bahkan setelah Keluarga Syahrina bangkrut, dia tetap teguh mematuhi aturan itu, bahkan memberikannya seratus kali lipat demi menghargai Calista Syahrina. Jika kartu selingkuhannya menerima uang saku 200 juta per bulan, kartu Calista harus stabil menerima 20 miliar. Baru saja Dean menghadiahi selingkuhannya perhiasan senilai dua miliar, dia langsung mengirimkan Calista sebuah cincin zamrud antik bernilai 200 miliar. Para nyonya kalangan elite yang sudah terbiasa melihat laki-laki hidup hedon bersama wanita simpanan, memang menghela napas prihatin melihat drama asmara antara Calista dan Dean yang sempat membuat heboh seantero kota. Namun, mereka tetap saja tak tahan untuk memberi saran bahwa Calista seharusnya belajar untuk merasa bersyukur. Bersyukur? Tentu saja Calista merasa bersyukur. Oleh karena itu, di hari ketika Dean terang-terangan memberikan sebuah rumah di pinggiran kota yang nilainya tak seberapa kepada selingkuhannya, Calista juga menerima sertifikat Vila Northcoast No. 1 dari tangan Dean sambil berkata, "Sepertinya aku tiba-tiba merasa agak bosan. Gimana kalau kita bercerai?"

This story was about my bitter and sweet love story. My bitter-sweet love story began when I was twelve years old. I had a huge crush on my neighbor, Dean Samaniego. He's tall, handsome, and smart but a little bit aloof, especially to me. He always ignored me though we were just neighbors. After six long years of having a crush on Dean, I finally decided to give up my feelings for him. The fact finally hits on me, that no matter what I did he's not going to like me back. We moved to another city after a tragedy falls on my family. Since then, Dean and I have never met again. But after ten long years, we finally meet each other. He is now a lawyer, a well-known and successful public defender while I'm just a small coffee shop owner. After I met him again I realized that I still liked him a lot, but I found out that he's already engaged to someone else. Is this a second chance that God gave me to pursue Dean again or a second chance for me to feel the heartache that I once was felt before?
