Drama Healing

My childhood friend called, saying he was trapped in a fire. He wanted to hear my voice one last time, and I rushed to the scene as fast as I could. But in that small, blazing spot, there was only a cat. Stumbling, I got the cat out, but my arms got burned. A crowd gathered, pointing at me and laughing hysterically. "She actually went for it?" "What a simp, risking her life like that!" Safe and sound, Colin Porter stepped out of the crowd with a grin. He picked up the cat from my arms and handed it to his crush. "See? I told you the cat would be fine. When have I ever lied to you?" Turning back to me, he said, "The cat got spooked and ran into the fire. We didn't know what to do, so we called you. Thank you for your help." The people around us snickered, like they were watching a trained dog. Later, on my wedding day, my husband carried me to the car. Colin, dragging his burned, bloody legs, crawled on the ground. He begged, "I'm hurt, Selena! Come help me!"

Maya Beckham was Oscar Francis's first love. After four long years abroad, she had assumed any feelings he once held for her had turned to dust. Yet when she returned to Elminas, he proposed. Everyone swore Maya was the love of his life—his one true love, his everything. Touched beyond words, she finally gathered the courage to say yes. …Until the day she discovered Oscar secretly marrying her half-sister, Diana Beckham. She stormed toward him like a woman possessed, her voice trembling with rage. "Explain." Oscar met her fury with infuriating calm. "You vanished without a word four years ago. Diana stayed. Now she's dying—this is her last wish. How could I refuse?" Maya's lips curled into a faint, unreadable smile. What Oscar didn't know? She was the one diagnosed with a difficult illness back then. Later, Maya got into an accident and forgot Oscar entirely. Oscar broke down. Day after day, he pounded on her door like a madman, begging her to remember.

Menjelang malam pernikahan, pacarku mengirim pesan kepada cinta lamanya. [ Orang yang selalu ingin kunikahi, tetap hanya kamu. ] Hari pernikahan semakin dekat. Aku melihatnya sibuk ke sana kemari, menyiapkan segalanya sesuai dengan selera cinta lamanya. Aku membiarkannya begitu saja. Sebab, aku tidak lagi menginginkan pernikahan ini ... ataupun dirinya.

The day before our wedding, my husband gives me a sapphire ring. I place a hand on my slightly bulging belly. As I lie on the operating table, I call him and tell him I want to call the wedding off. Shortly after, his secretary calls me tearfully. "I was the one who was impudent enough to select the ring, ma'am. Please don't blame Mr. Nolan for this. It's all my fault." Archer Nolan holds her in his arms and coaxes her gently for a long time. He only says one thing to me. "You're already carrying my child. Can you really bear to leave me?"

Aku difitnah berbuat zina dan diusir dari rumahku sendiri! Hanya saja, orang-orang terdekatku semuanya berubah pasca meninggalnya kedua orang tuaku yang masih menjadi misteri. Sebenarnya, apa yang terjadi?

After I confessed to my childhood crush, he smirked and said, "If you can get that loser to drink from the same bottle you did, I'll date you." Seriously? Was I really reborn fifteen years ago? I raced over to Noah—top of the class and hot as hell—and dropped the water bottle on his desk in front of everyone. He clocked the lipstick stain, face turning crimson. Future business mogul? Right now, he looked like some poor kid waiting to get crushed. I nudged the bottle closer. "Using that genius brain to collect bottles for cash? Kinda tragic. Be my private tutor instead." He might be broke, but lucky for him, I've got money to burn.

Demi biaya pengobatan suamiku yang mengalami kecelakaan, aku terpaksa meninggalkannya. Ibu mertuaku berjanji akan menanggung semua biaya perawatannya, dengan satu syarat, aku harus pergi dari hidupnya. Diam-diam, aku membawa serta anak dalam kandunganku. Aku tak pernah membayangkan harus memilih antara tetap di sisi suamiku atau memastikan dia mendapatkan perawatan yang layak. Tapi ibu mertuaku tak memberiku pilihan lain. "Jika kau benar-benar mencintainya, buktikan dengan menghilang dari hidupnya," katanya dingin, menatapku dengan penuh kebencian. "Kamu sudah cukup membawa sial dalam hidupnya." Dadaku sesak. Aku ingin membela diri, ingin berteriak bahwa aku bukan penyebab semua ini. Tapi saat aku menoleh ke arah Arfan, terbaring lemah dengan nafas yang bergantung pada alat medis, aku tahu aku tak punya pilihan lain. Malam itu, dengan tangan gemetar, aku mengemasi barang-barangku. Tak banyak yang kubawa, hanya beberapa pakaian, sedikit uang, dan tentu saja, rahasia terbesar yang ku sembunyikan dari ibu mertuaku, kehidupan kecil yang tumbuh dalam rahimku. Sebelum pergi, aku berdiri di ambang pintu kamar rumah sakit, menatapnya untuk terakhir kali. Aku ingin menyentuhnya, menggenggam tangannya, membisikkan bahwa aku mencintainya dan berharap dia segera sadar. Tapi aku takut. Takut jika aku menunggu lebih lama, aku tak akan sanggup pergi. "Aku mencintaimu," bisikku pelan, lalu melangkah pergi, meninggalkan hatiku bersamanya.

The first thing I did after rebirth was follow my husband, Franklin Wallace, to the island for his military deployment. In my previous life, as a spoiled rich heiress from a wealthy family, I looked down on Franklin, the commander my family had arranged for me to marry. We fought constantly, huge arguments every few days, small quarrels in between. After having children, I grew to resent our two kids simply because they carried Franklin's blood. Later, when Franklin was ordered to be stationed on the island, I was the first to stand up and object to going with him. Since I opposed it, Franklin did not force me. He took our two kids and his widowed sister-in-law, Elsie Faulkner, to the island instead. Meanwhile, my spoiled and rebellious self could not wait to throw myself into the arms of my first love, Reuben Sandoval, once Franklin left. However, it did not take long before I discovered Reuben was nothing but a gold-digging scumbag who only wanted my money and body. He gave me an STI and drained my family fortune completely. When Franklin returned from the island with our children, they no longer recognized me as their mother and affectionately called Elsie "Mommy" instead. He even told me he had fallen in love with Elsie during their time together on the island. Eventually, I ended up homeless on the streets and starved to death. When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day Franklin was about to leave for his island deployment.

Di tahun kelima pernikahan tanpa hubungan suami istri, sebuah pesan teks tentang suamiku yang meninggalkan duniawi dan saudara perempuan angkatnya yang sedang menginap di hotel muncul. Detik berikutnya, foto pribadiku yang mengenakan pakaian seksi untuk menggoda suamiku, tetapi ditolak dengan dingin, terkirim ke grup obrolan kerja. Grup obrolan kerja itu penuh dengan sarkasme, [Awalnya, berusaha mati-matian memaksa menikah dengan Pak Jason, Pak Jason menjadi biksu untuk melindungi kepolosannya, sehingga dia harus berpisah dari kekasihnya.] [Pak Jason menahannya selama lima tahun, wajar baginya untuk kehilangan kendali atas emosinya dan kembali bersama kekasihnya.] Ayah yang sakit parah meninggal karena syok, tetapi suamiku bahkan tidak menghadiri pemakaman. Malam itu, aku berlutut di depan Ibu Jason dan mengajukan perceraian. “Awalnya, kamu bilang aku adalah jodoh Jason, pernikahan kami akan memberinya masa depan yang cerah, jadi kamu rela membayar biaya pengobatan yang sangat mahal dan menyetujui perjanjian lima tahun denganku.” “Sekarang waktunya telah tiba dan kamu harus melepaskanku.”
