Funny Ways To Say Hello

On our fifth wedding anniversary, my husband, Damian Pyke, once again left me for his first love. He said, "Taking care of a child alone isn't easy for Waverly. You're both women—can't you show her some understanding?" Not only was I willing to understand Waverly Benson, but I was also ready to step aside entirely so they could raise her child together. So, I packed my bags and applied for an overseas architecture program through my workplace. However, he eventually regretted it, crying and begging me not to go.

[Warning, mengandung kebaperan tingkat dewa, pernah publish di Dreame pada Agustus 2020] Barbela Manda, nama kerennya Arbela, nama guyonnya Barbel. Datang dari Yogyakarta dengan sepucuk surat wasiat dari Almarhum sang Ayah sebelum meninggalkan dirinya sendiri. “Carilah keluarga Algibran di Jakarta. Sampaikan nama Ayah dan tinggal lah dengan mereka, belajarlah di sana dan bahagia.” Membuat Arbel dengan berat hati meninggalkan sanak saudara dan kerabat di Yogya untuk pergi berpetualang di Jakarta. Ares Algibran, cowok ber IQ hampir 200 yang saat ini sedang menempuh pendidikan kedokteran, mengikuti jejak Ayah, Ibu serta leluhur keluarganya. Keluarga dokter paling terkenal di Indonesia, pemilik Rumah Sakit bergengsi di Jakarta, keluarga Algibran. Pintar, tampan, kaya, atletis dan lain-lain. Dalam kata lain, Ares adalah definisi sempurna. Hanya satu kelemahannya, sikap arogan dan dingin yang gak ketulungan. Membosankan dan cuma tahu bagaimana menghabiskan waktu untuk belajar. Serta kelakuan kakunya yang tidak bisa mengungkapkan perasaan sebenarnya. Gawatnya, Arbela malah jatuh cinta pada pandangan pertama. “Saya boleh panggil kamu mas?” “Ga.” “Saya boleh berangkat bareng?” “Ga.” “Mau saya buatin teh?” “Hmm.” Bagaimana jika mereka di haruskan bertunangan karena perjanjian masa lalu dan wasiat Ayah Arbela? “Saya mau kamu pura-pura gak kenal saya di kampus, dan jangan pernah kasih tahu siapa-siapa kalau kamu tinggal di rumah saya, apa lagi ngaku-ngaku kamu tunangan saya.” Bagaimana jika Ares yang menentang dan bersikap bodo amat kepada Arbel malah berbuat ‘kesalahan’ yang mengharuskannya bertanggung jawab? “Satu tahun. Buat saya jatuh cinta sama kamu dalam waktu satu tahun. Kalau bisa, saya akan lanjutkan pertunangan ini ke jenjang yang lebih serius.” Ares yang sadis dan Arbel yang Masokis. Bisakah Arbel memenangkan cinta Ares dan mendapatkan pertanggung jawaban yang semestinya?

Scarlet blood trickled from my thigh as I clutched Arvin Owen's hand. "My belly... It hurts so much..." He shook off my hand indifferently. "Come on, I know it's chicken blood you are using. Debby just suffered abuse from her husband and is now in the hospital without anyone to care for her. Don't be so spoiled!" But what flowed from me was not chicken blood. It was my life slipping away.

"S-Stop..." Nauutal kong saad. Kasabay ng pagpasok ng kamay niya sa aking skirt ang pagkapit ko ng mahigpit sa table ko. "You want this, don't you?" Mainit na bulong nito sa aking tainga. Sobrang kinakabahan ako, nasa school kami at walanghiya niyang ginagawa ito ngayon sa akin. Umiling ako sa tanong niya, nagpipigil ng ungol at baka may makarinig dahil lunch palang at mamaya kaunti ay darating na ang mga studyante ko. "P-Please, t-tumigil ka na!" "Are you going to wear this skimpy skirt and sleeves again?" Malamig nitong tanong sakin. "H-hindi na." Umiling-iling ako para tigilan na niya ang ginagawa niya. Ngayon lang siya nakialam sa suot ko at hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit. Pencil skirt lang naman iyon at puting long sleeves. "Good. Don't make me mad again Mrs. Buenavista kung ayaw mong gawin ko sayo to sa sarap ng estudyante mo." Kung makapag salita siya para namang hindi ko siya estudyante ah?! Siya lang naman si Zachariah Buenavista asawa ko at estudyante ko rin.
