Fake Rumah Sakit

เป็นเพื่อนเล่นกันมาสิบปี อยากลองเล่นเพื่อนดูสักที “ฉันจะเอาเธอทุกคืน”

To afford train tickets home for New Year's Eve, I searched for a part-time job and stumbled into a livestream that was practically throwing money at the chat. A young woman in a silk robe rested her chin on her hand. Behind her, a villa glowed under expensive lighting that reflected off polished marble floors. "Being kept in here is suffocating," she said in a voice that mixed boredom with sweetness. "My sponsor gives me more money than I can spend. Help me out. Take some off my hands." Cash drops flashed across the screen one after another. I tapped as fast as I could, my heart hammering. A few large ones landed in my account. I was close. One more would cover both my ticket and my boyfriend's. The streamer leaned closer to the camera. "He keeps saying my tear mole looks like his girlfriend's," she said, her mouth twisting with disgust. "So unlucky. Of all things, I had to match with some broke girl." My finger slipped. I had a tear mole under my eye in the same spot. The live chat flooded with questions. [How is the sponsor's girlfriend broke?] The streamer gave a short snort and reapplied her lipstick, as if correcting a minor flaw. "He's just messing around. He tricked her into 200,000 dollars in debt. She's so stupid she works multiple jobs to help him pay it off." A chill settled in my chest. My boyfriend also owed 200,000 dollars. She continued, her tone light, "The funniest part? He slept with me for three days. When he left, I asked if he was giving her a taste of honey." She smiled cruelly. "He said all he has to do is claim he's going to work a construction site hauling rebar. The idiot will feel guilty and deliver food all night. So he won't need to please her." Another large cash drop flashed across the screen. The total reached the exact amount I needed. My phone rang. Benjamin's name lit up the display. When I answered, his voice sounded worn down, as if it had scraped against concrete. "Via, we still don't have enough for the tickets," he said. "I hauled rebar and made a little over 40 dollars. I'm heading home now."

Rangga Wiratama, Kepala Desa Sukamukti, mendapati sesuatu yang tak masuk akal terjadi di rumahnya. Sebuah hajatan besar diselenggarakan atas namanya—tanpa seizin, tanpa perintah, dan tanpa penjelasan. Undangan tersebar ke seluruh warga desa dengan satu perintah mutlak: semua wajib hadir dan dilarang pulang sebelum diizinkan. Sejak hari pertama hajatan berlangsung, kejanggalan demi kejanggalan muncul. Musik gamelan yang seharusnya rusak kembali berbunyi. Dapur rumah terkunci dari dalam, menguar bau anyir yang tak wajar. Tamu-tamu berdatangan dengan wajah kosong, patuh tanpa bertanya. Beberapa orang yang hadir… tidak pernah terlihat lagi. Rangga berusaha mencari jawaban, namun setiap pintu informasi tertutup rapat. Para sesepuh desa justru menatapnya seolah ia bagian dari kesepakatan lama yang telah dilupakan. Perlahan, ia menyadari bahwa jabatannya sebagai kepala desa bukan sekadar posisi pemerintahan, melainkan peran penting dalam ritual turun-temurun yang mengikat seluruh desa. Hajatan itu ternyata adalah bagian dari janji leluhur—sebuah perjanjian kelam untuk menjaga keselamatan desa dengan harga nyawa manusia. Dan rumah kepala desa selalu menjadi pusatnya. Selalu. Di tengah teror yang semakin nyata, Rangga dihadapkan pada pilihan paling kejam: memutus ritual dan menghancurkan desanya, atau meneruskan hajatan dengan mengorbankan orang-orang yang ia lindungi. Namun semakin ia berusaha melawan, semakin jelas bahwa hajatan ini tidak pernah benar-benar berakhir. Ia hanya menunggu untuk diulang, dengan kepala desa yang baru… atau korban yang berbeda. Sebab di Sukamukti, tradisi lebih berkuasa daripada kebenaran, dan undangan hajatan selalu menemukan jalannya sendiri.

Desperate to lose her virginity, Gracie, asks the new transferred boy out, the school nerd; Jason Drew. Well that's what she presumed, seeing the thick frame covering those eyes, that never left the books and the hand that never left the pens. He seemed like a perfect guy whom she could easily manipulate. Innocent and dumb. Seeing him so antisocial can mean only one thing right? That he has no experience in the field of sexual activity. Well at least that's what Gracie thought. But little did she know, innocence is far fetched from his dictionary. Nerd and innocent was never his thing. Never! The guy she just asked was a complete dominant and ruthless in bed, that can actually result in getting her on a wheelchair in a single night. "Sure, Gracie!" he said, "Meet you after the school." And the countdown begins...

Ketika suamiku yang seorang direktur utama tahu bahwa aku dengan suka rela menyerahkan proyek bernilai puluhan miliar kepada asisten yang paling dia sayangi, dia mengira perang dingin selama tiga bulan terhadapku akhirnya membuahkan hasil. Dia pun berinisiatif mengajakku pergi bulan madu ke Islandia. Namun setelah asisten itu mengetahuinya, dia langsung diliputi rasa cemburu dan bersikeras ingin mengundurkan diri dari perusahaan. Suamiku yang selama ini selalu memanjakannya, langsung merasa panik. Setelah menenangkannya selama tiga hari tiga malam, dia kembali membatalkan bulan madu dengan alasan dinas luar kota, lalu memberikan sebuah tiket bulan madu lainnya kepada asisten itu. Setelah itu, dia menjelaskan kepadaku dengan sikap acuh tak acuh. "Masalah cinta itu hal kecil, pekerjaan tetap yang paling penting. Sebagai bos, aku harus menempatkan pekerjaan di posisi pertama. Kamu istriku, kamu pasti akan mendukung aku, 'kan?" Aku menatap unggahan terbaru asisten itu di media sosial, serta foto mereka berdua yang saling menempelkan kepala dan membentuk tanda hati seperti sepasang kekasih. Aku tidak berkata apa-apa, hanya mengangguk pelan. Dia mengira aku sudah berubah menjadi lebih lapang dada dan pengertian. Dia tampak sangat puas, bahkan mengatakan bahwa dia akan menggantinya dengan bulan madu yang lebih romantis untukku setelah kembali ke dalam negeri. Namun, dia tidak tahu. Aku sudah mengajukan pengunduran diri dan dia juga sudah menandatangani surat perjanjian perceraian. Aku dan dia ... tidak akan pernah punya masa depan lagi.
