Foreskin's Lament A Memoir

Di bawah langit Batavia yang kelabu, Satrio Kusumo pulang dari Belanda dengan harapan besar, hanya untuk mendapati kotanya telah berubah menjadi panggung rahasia, pengkhianatan, dan luka lama yang belum sembuh. Pertemuannya dengan Sekar Puspita—perempuan memesona dengan masa lalu kelam—membuka pintu cinta yang manis sekaligus berbahaya. Di balik hubungan mereka, tersembunyi kebenaran pahit: ayah Sekar adalah pengkhianat yang menghancurkan keluarga Satrio. Di antara kerumitan cinta dan dendam, muncul Citra Anindita, gadis sederhana yang mencintai Satrio dalam diam. Namun, cinta itu harus terhempas saat Rangga Adibrata, sahabat Satrio yang menyimpan ambisi gelap, menjadikan Citra korban intrik. Diculik dan dibuang, Citra menghilang dari kehidupan Satrio. Sekar, yang diliputi rasa bersalah dan pengkhianatan dari Rangga, akhirnya hancur dan menghilang dalam arus sungai. Satrio, kehilangan cinta dan kepercayaan, mengasingkan diri. Bertahun kemudian, ia menerima kabar bahwa Citra masih hidup—namun sekarat. Ia menemuinya di biara, hanya untuk mendengar kata cinta terakhir yang tak pernah sempat terucap. Citra mengembuskan napas terakhir dalam pelukannya. Dengan hati hancur dan jiwa yang sunyi, Satrio kembali berjalan sendiri. Tidak ada kemenangan, hanya jejak luka dan dosa yang tak terhapuskan. Kisah cinta mereka berakhir dalam tragedi, tetapi kenangannya tetap hidup—membayangi langkah-langkah yang tak pernah sampai pada damai.

Without my knowledge, Aileen—the daughter of Carlson Green’s first love—secretly lured my five-year-old daughter, Lena, deep into the Wolfsbane Forest. She told Lena there was treasure hidden in the forest. When a distress signal came from the forest, I rushed there with Carlson and the rescue team. The wolfsbane's poison spread silently, making it harder for Lena to breathe. She lay weak in the grass, her face pale, her heartbeat slowing down. Aileen, meanwhile, was sprawled on the path beside the wolfsbane. She only had a few scratches on her knees, but she was crying loudly. "Help me! It hurts so much!" I thought Carlson, the Alpha of the Moonshadow Pack and Lena’s father, would run into the forest to check on his own daughter. But he didn’t. Instead, he bent down, scooped Aileen into his arms, comforting her with care. His eyes were full of worry. "It’s okay now, Daddy’s here." I ran forward, my voice shaking. "Carlson! Lena is still in the wolfsbane grass! I can feel her breathing fading! Come with me to find her!" He only said calmly, "Lena is wearing my Moonstone Crystal. It protects her from wolfsbane. She will be fine. Aileen needs care and treatment more." The rescue vehicle left, taking Aileen and Carlson with it. I ran into the wolfsbane field and found Lena. She weakly tugged my hand. "Mom, don’t cry. It doesn’t hurt at all." "Daddy will come save me after he saves Aileen." Then she closed her eyes. And never breathed again. Even on the day of her funeral, Lena never got to see her father come to save her. Carlson Green, a life for a life. You, Aileen, and her mother will pay back everything you did to Lena—I’ll make you repay it a thousand times over.
