Dress Tease

The night before the wedding, I received the dress my fiancé had sent—lavish, yet clearly the wrong size.

Then, he slaps my son hard and throws a stack of cash at him. "This is your chance to make up for your mistakes. Buy Wendy a dress—make sure it's white!"

Si Sheids Noah Fawzi ay isang tagapagmana ng isang malaking kumpanya sa Turkey pero nilisan ang bansa at pamilya upang i-pursue ang pangarap na maging teacher sa Pilipinas, sa bansa kung saan lumaki ang kaniyang Filipina na ina. Nag-iisang anak ito na lalaki kaya ang pangarap ng ama nitong Turkish siya itong magpapatuloy ng legacy ng kumpanya ng pamilya.

Napakagandang babae sa kabila nang pagiging simple. Pumasok ito sa klase niya sa suot na hindi pa niya nakikita sa mga estudyante sa University, naka-oversized t-shirt, baggy pants at rubber shoes. Si Astherielle ay ilang buwan pa lang na nakalalabas ng facility dahil na-diagnosed siya ng kakaibang sakit, nymphomaniac. Doon nanatili sa loob ng dalawang taon para magpagaling. Nang makompleto ang gamutan, gumaling, lumabas at nagpatuloy sa buhay. Pero nang makilala niya ang guwapo at kakaibang Professor, may sumasanib na naman rito na kakaibang kaluluwa. Sa takot niyang bumalik ang dating sakit, bumalik siya sa pag-inom ng anti-depressant na gamot. Sa kabila ng naging sakit, naprotektahan niya ang pagkabirhen sa pamamagitan nang pagiging maingat at maagap. Nilabanan niya ang sakit gamit lahat ng makakaya niya noon, at iyon uli ang gagawin niya kung sakaling balikan siya ng sakit. Isang gabi ay nalaman ng Profressor ang katago-tago niyang sekretro. At hindi niya inasahan kung paano siya nito tinulungan at pinrotektahan sa mga tao at sa mundong mapanganib. Ang unang lalaki na rin na pagbibigyan niya ng sarili.

He is the only son, so his Turkish father's dream is that he will continue the legacy of the family company. But his passion for teaching that he got from his mother's side is stronger than the pull of being business minded from his father's side.

Just before my wedding, my fate mate, my Alpha fiancé, Micheal, stripped me of my wedding dress—our wedding dress—and handed it to his mistress, Becky Porter. Not only that, but he locked me in the dressing room like some rabid wolf he needed to contain. "Becky has a terminal illness.She just wants to experience being a bride before she dies." I lunged forward, my wolf howling inside me. Alpha's strength pressed against mine, his dominance forcing my muscles to lock. My claws twitched, itching to break free. "You bastard!" I snarled, my breath ragged. Micheal barely blinked. Instead, he let out an exasperated sigh, shaking his head . "She’s dying, and you can’t even show a little compassion?" His tone dripped with disappointment, as if I were the villain here. "You’re only losing a wedding, but Becky… Becky is losing her dreams and her life."

“Dek, tolong catat semua hadiah yang udah aku kasih ke kamu. Bonnya ada di tasku!” “Catat lagi?” “Iyalah kita harus menghemat. Pengeluaran dan pemasukan harus ada notanya. Tidak boleh kita pakai berlebihan sehari hanya boleh 70 ribu. Tidak boleh lebih.” Tak ada sahutan dari istriku malah menatap lurus dengan pandangan kosong. Aku mendekat untuk memastikan dia mendengarnya atau tidak. “Kau dengar tidak, Dek?” Baru saja kau ingin menyentuh pundaknya. Prily sudah lebih dahulu berjalan menghindar. “Hmm,” sahutnya tak acuh. Bahkan barang-barang yang kuberikan sebagai hadiah ulang tahun pernikahan kita saja dia abaikan. Bukankah dia pernah bilang menginginkan long dress dengan berwarna merah muda dengan aksen renda. Sudahlah aku repot-repot memesannya diam-diam lewat market place online. Prily justru membiarkan gamis beserta coklat yang kupesan khusus untuknya tergeletak di meja. Ck, kenapa perempuan susah sekali dimengerti. Sungguh membuatku frustrasi saja. Lebih baik bermain game dari pada terus memikirkan hal-hal yang hanya memancing emosi. ~ Di sore hari Prily biasanya akan berdiri di atas balkon. Aku sudah hafal dengan kebiasaannya. Kamar kami mengarah ke lapangan, yang biasa dipakai anak-anak kompleks untuk bermain di pagi dan sore hari. Prily tak pernah melewatkan melihat canda tawa mereka di balik jendela, barang sekali. “Mau sampai kapan berdiri di situ,” tanyaku sembari memakai kaus lengan pendek, lalu mengeringkan kepalaku dengan handuk. Prily segera mendekat lalu tangannya begitu cekatan menggosokkan handuk itu ke kepalaku. “Padahal aku punya hair dryer loh, Mas bisa pakai kalau mau.” “Kamu saja yang pakai, aku tidak perlu lah. 10 menit juga kering.” Mampukah Prily bertahan dalam pernikahannya dengan Arjuna yang serba perhitungan? atau memilih pergi saat cinta pertamanya? Dia Akbar, pria kaya raya, yang ia kira telah lama mati, justru hadir kembali.
