Era Of Light

After Chester Caldwell loses his vision, I donate my corneas to him without hesitation. He vows that he'll never let me down, yet he delays our wedding time and time again after his true love suddenly returns to the country. On the day of my birthday, his gift arrives, albeit late. I accept it expectantly only to find that they're two movie tickets. I question him about it, but he answers impatiently, "Who said anything about the blind being unable to watch movies? "You willingly gave up your vision back then—I didn't force you into anything! Stop thinking you can hold that against me forever!" His true love makes it sound like she's being charitable. "Sorry, Riley. The movie wasn't to my liking. You can throw the tickets away if you're not going to watch it, either!" I rip the tickets in half and leave. Later, I hear that Chester goes mad when he can no longer find his bride.

It was raining very heavily on the day my parents got divorced. There are two copies of the agreements on the table. One declares that the signee will stay with Dad, who's a gambling addict and has already racked up a huge debt, in the old town. The other declares that the signee will follow Mom, who will marry a rich businessman, and move to a coastal town. In the previous life, my younger sister, Tamara Browning, kicked up a fuss because she wanted to stay with Mom. So, I packed up my luggage quietly and went with Dad. Soon after, Dad quit gambling and received the compensation due to our house being demolished in a governmental project. Since then, he showered me with love and affection. Meanwhile, Tamara wasn't allowed to even leave the house. On top of that, she was neglected by everyone, so she died from depression. Now that we're given a second chance in life, Tamara snatches the cigarette out of Dad's fingers before hugging him, refusing to let him go at all. "Tiana, my heart aches for Dad's situation. You should live a good life with Mom. I'll give that chance to you." I deign to say anything at all. Instead, I just pick up the train ticket that'll take me to the coastal town. But what Tamara doesn't know is the reason behind Dad's decision to quit gambling in the previous life. At that time, I had overexhausted myself from paying off his debt, and I began vomiting blood due to my brain cancer. I practically had to risk my life just to get him to quit gambling once and for all.

Há seis anos eu estava ao lado de Rogério Monteiro quando, certa tarde, falei sem rodeios: — Rogério, vou me casar. Ele estremeceu, e pude ver que retornava apressado de algum devaneio enquanto, um tanto embaraçado, tentava se justificar: — Aurora, você sabe que a empresa está num momento crucial de captação de recursos. Agora não tenho cabeça para... Mantive meu sorriso, ainda que fosse um tanto contido, e respondeu: — Não tem problema. Mas Rogério entendeu tudo errado. Sim, eu pretendia mesmo me casar. Só que não seria com ele.

Sofia Borges sofreu um aborto espontâneo. Ela amou Miguel Castro por dez anos, abandonou a faculdade no segundo ano para se casar com ele e, ao longo de três anos de casamento, dedicou-se completamente à família sem jamais reclamar. Só quando uma planilha secreta veio à tona foi que ela descobriu que não passava de uma peça no jogo entre Miguel e a primeira namorada dele. No quarto do hospital, Sofia soube que Miguel estava pescando em alto-mar com a ex. Foi então que pediu o divórcio. A antiga dona de casa, antes desprezada por todos, se transformou em designer de uma marca de joias de alto luxo; passou a ser mentora de um pianista de nível mundial, deusa das pistas, filha do ministro das Relações Exteriores, presidente executiva de uma empresa listada em bolsa avaliada em dezenas de bilhões... Ao ver o número de pretendentes de Sofia crescer sem parar, Miguel começou a perseguir ela sem descanso. Cansada de tudo, Sofia simplesmente encenou a própria morte. Diante do túmulo vazio, Miguel passou noites inteiras sozinho, ajoelhado até destruir os próprios joelhos. Até que um dia ele reencontrou por acaso a ex-esposa que havia fingido estar morta, com os olhos avermelhados. — Amor, volta comigo para casa, por favor? Sofia sorriu. — Sr. Miguel, não me chame assim. Nós já nos divorciamos. Agora estou solteira.

No dia em que o primeiro amor do meu companheiro, à beira da morte, entrou em trabalho de parto, os pais dele postaram dez guerreiros à minha porta. Eles fizeram isso apenas para me impedir de invadir a sala de parto e arruinar o nascimento do herdeiro do Alfa Kaelen. No entanto, eu nunca apareci, nem mesmo depois que o choro de um recém-nascido preencheu o ar. A mãe dele, a antiga Luna, segurou a mão da outra loba com um suspiro de alívio. — Liana, conosco aqui, aquela estéril da Elara nunca fará mal a você ou ao filhote! Kaelen enxugou o suor da testa de Liana, com os olhos cheios de adoração. — Não se preocupe, meu pai tem homens guardando as fronteiras da alcateia. Se Elara ousar causar problemas, nós a exilaremos para sempre! Ele finalmente relaxou quando teve certeza de que eu não viria. Ele não conseguia entender. Tudo o que ele queria era dar um filho, um legado, ao seu primeiro amor que estava morrendo. Por que eu não podia ser mais compreensiva? Olhando para o filhote adormecido, um sorriso satisfeito cruzou seu rosto. Ele pensava que, se eu apenas aparecesse e pedisse desculpas a Liana, ele perdoaria todas as nossas brigas anteriores. Ele estaria até disposto a me consolar após o parto, talvez até me deixar ser a mãe do filhote apenas no nome, para que eu pudesse manter meu título de Luna. Mas ele não sabia. Eu acabara de enviar minha solicitação ao Conselho Superior. Em uma semana, eu renunciaria ao meu status na alcateia, partiria com os bebês em meu ventre e nunca mais o veria.

"Lina, apa sudah kamu pikirkan baik-baik, setengah bulan lagi kita berangkat ke ibu kota?" Lina Watson menjawab pelan, tetapi tegas, "Ya." "Baguslah! Guru dan istri guru sudah menunggumu di ibu kota." Di seberang telepon, guru tidak tahan untuk bertanya lagi, "Tapi kudengar kamu sudah berkeluarga di sana selama delapan tahun, apa kamu benaran rela meninggalkan ayah dan anak itu? Lalu bagaimana dengan Alan? Kudengar anak itu lebih dekat dengan ayahnya. Apa dia mau ikut denganmu?" Lina tersenyum getir. "Alan sudah nggak mengakui aku sebagai ibunya, mana mungkin dia mau ikut denganku. Aku akan membawa Alicia." Sang guru di seberang hanya bisa menghela napas. "Kalau begitu, karena kamu sudah memutuskan, kita bertemu setengah bulan lagi di stasiun kereta ibu kota."
