Fading Emoji Meme

Saat suamiku sedang ikut acara berkemah dari kantor, asisten perempuannya tiba-tiba mengunggah sebuah postingan: "Pembagian tenda lewat undian, siapa sangka aku malah setenda dengan bosku yang tampan!" Dalam foto itu, dia sedang berswafoto menghadap kamera, sementara di belakangnya ada seorang pria yang sedang melepas bajunya— dan itu adalah suamiku. Ada yang berkomentar: "Hati-hati ya, cowok dan cewek berduaan di satu tenda, bisa berbahaya ...." Asisten itu langsung membalas dengan emoji tertawa jahil sambil menulis: "Memang aku suka yang menantang." Aku sempat memberikan 'like', tetapi tidak lama kemudian, postingan itu dihapus. Tak lama, suamiku menelepon lewat panggilan video. Di depan asisten perempuan yang sedang menangis dan beberapa rekan kerja lainnya, dia langsung marah padaku: "Kamu kok suka lebay sih? Ini 'kan cuma permainan sederhana, nggak bisa santai saja?" Melihat dia memeluk asisten itu sambil menenangkannya dengan lembut, aku pun menutup telepon tanpa berkata apa-apa lagi. Ini sudah tahun ke-10 aku mencintai Kemal Sentanu. Namun, saat ini juga, aku memutuskan untuk melepaskannya.

Tiga bulan sebelum menikah, pacarku memposting di instagram sebuah foto dirinya bersama adik angkatku. Foto itu menunjukkan surat pernikahan mereka dan potret kehamilan adik angkatku. Caption yang dituliskan, [Resmi menyambut kehidupan kecil kami.] Adik angkatku meninggalkan komentar dengan emoji malu-malu. Ibuku memberi tanda suka pada unggahan itu dan menambahkan komentar, [Aku akan menjaga anak itu setelah lahir. Kalian berdua tenang saja menikmati hidup berdua.] Aku tidak bisa menahan diri dan hanya meninggalkan tanda tanya sebagai komentar. Detik berikutnya, pacarku langsung memarahiku habis-habisan. [Dia hanya meminjam status pernikahan denganku selama satu tahun. Setelah anak lahir, aku akan kembali padamu.] [Jangan pelit begitu. Ibu juga sudah bilang, kamu baru boleh menikahiku setelah melahirkan anak laki-laki. Jadi, kita adakan pernikahan dulu, baru urus akta nikah nanti..] Aku hanya menjawab dengan datar, "Oh." Setelah itu, aku menghapus semua unggahan di media sosial yang berkaitan dengannya. Sebagai gantinya, aku memposting hal baru, [Butuh calon pengantin pria. Siapa yang mau menikah denganku?]

How do you define love? A matter that speaks in general. A love to yourself, a love of a friend, a love of a family and a love of a lover all that includes trust, understanding and acceptance. But what if the love that you wanted the most, an understanding and acceptance that you need most can’t be given to you by your family. What will be your resolve, especially when it’s all about your own happiness? The love of a lover that you cherished feels like it's fading away because of other people that makes your relationship into ruins. How will you fight for your love if the one that you love is already giving up and turning their backs on you because of some misunderstanding.

He wants revenge, but he found a reason to protect. She was supposed to be his pawn… but she became his weakness, his obsession, his everything. Akiko Eloise has known nothing but pain.

Glen is cold, calculated, and dangerous… but something about that girl began to stir something in him. Something dangerously close to feeling. And the more he learns about Akiko—her strength, her scars, her fading time—the harder it becomes to let her go. Will it change him—or destroy them both?

When he stumbles across Cael, something ancient stirs, the prophecy awakens, binding them in ways neither of them expected. But power this dangerous always comes with a price.

Now he might be the only one who can save them all.

During a battle between packs, both my adopted sister Chloe and I were injured. A Rogue tore me apart, leaving me a mangled heap of flesh and blood. My wolf was already fading from my spirit. But my Alpha mate, Damon, ran straight to Chloe. She had nothing more than a scratch on her face. He refused to use his Alpha power to save me, blaming me for the entire disaster. "Elena, if you hadn't slowed us down, none of this would have happened! How could Chloe have gotten hurt?" "You're not worth wasting the pack's resources on." In the end, I was left for dead in the forest, unclaimed and forgotten. And when the truth came out that I had died to save him? That cold-blooded Alpha who rejected me so viciously went insane.
