Galaxy Next Door

“MATE!” Marion screamed excitedly. “Oh my gosh, Jimmy is our mate!” I was excited; happy even that this was the grande present the moon goddess had in store for me. This out- of- a- fairytale concept that was about to turn my life around for good but--- “I Jimmy Flicher of the Night gazer pack hereby reject you, Anna Jenson as my mate” My dream, my hopes were all shattered in that moment there and then. The moment of shock only lasted for just a short while before I felt a great and unbearable. Clenching to my chest as I slowly fell to the ground, I watched as jimmy turned away from me without unfeeling, leaving me alone by the doorstep. I gasped as I struggled to make my way back to father but it was to no avail. I’d given up all will to struggle back to my feet and remain on the ground but a loud sound; like a Vaseline crashing to the ground behind me jolted me up. On getting to my feet and looking back, I saw father on the floor. Adding two and two together, I knew he must have seen Jimmy reject me and that had caused him to pass out. I’d immediately rushed over to his side, shaking him fervently, imagining the worst. “Father! Father, wake up!” But he didn’t budge and with that, I was left with no choice than to call the ambulance which brings me to how I got to this hospital. Today was my birthday, the day Jimmy rejected me, the day father passed out from shock, the day I would never forget in my life.

"I reject you," Bruno repeated, his voice carrying across the hushed clearing. "We are no longer mates. We can never be mates." The warmth that had always softened his green eyes whenever he looked at her was gone, replaced by a glacial indifference that chilled her to the bone. "No. No." Lyra shook her head vigorously, her carefully arranged hair coming loose, dark strands falling across her tear-stained face. She reached for him, clutching at the ceremonial jacket he wore. "This can't happen. You promised to protect me, to be by my side, to love me." Her voice rose with each word, desperation clawing at her throat. "Please, don't do this to me. You can't."

When I was finally able to snap out of my fear, I diverted my gaze to my father's head on the ground as my anger began to burn deeper within me. As tears slid down my cheeks, I raised up my head to meet Castro's gaze. His sword was still aimed at my neck unflinchingly. My gaze moved between Jasmine, my cousin and him one more time before I questioned. "What do you think you are doing, Castro?" "What does it look like, Katherine?" "A coup?" Castro smirked. "You're right!" "But why?"

Suamiku tidak mencintaiku, apalagi anak kami. Saat putra kami lahir, dia bahkan tidak sudi melihat dan langsung melemparkannya ke dalam dekapanku. Kemudian, pujaan hatinya kembali ke negara ini. Pria yang selalu dingin itu, untuk pertama kalinya mabuk berat di rumah, lalu tersenyum menggendong anak kami dalam pelukannya. Putra kami dengan gembira memeluk lehernya, lalu berbisik padaku. "Ibu, paman kenapa?" Aku meraih dirinya ke dalam pelukanku, lalu menjelaskan dengan mata berkaca-kaca. "Orang yang disukai paman sudah kembali, jadi kita nggak boleh mengganggunya lagi. Kita harus pindah."

Karena kemampuan tertentu yang sangat kuat dari pacarku, kami selalu berusaha mencari hal-hal baru untuk dilakukan selama bercinta. Untuk itu, dia tidak hanya sekali membujukku dengan kata-kata manis, "Kita akan menikah setelah kamu lulus." Bodohnya, aku percaya padanya. Jadi, aku berjuang mati-matian menyelesaikan SKS agar bisa lulus lebih cepat. Aku juga diam-diam membaca berbagai materi dan mempelajari teknik, hanya untuk memuaskan tubuhnya. Sampai suatu hari, karena belajar sampai larut dan melewatkan jam malam asrama, aku pergi ke bar untuk mencarinya. Tanpa sengaja, aku mendengar dia berbicara dengan teman-temannya. "Kak Aidan, apa pacarmu benar-benar segatal itu?" "Ya jelas, masa nggak? Dia dilatih oleh Kak Aidan sendiri." "Kalau Lira gimana?" Aidan Jace mengembuskan asap rokok, tatapannya lembut. "Dia beda, dia sangat polos." Saat itu juga, aku mulai membencinya. Sesampainya di kampus, aku langsung menelepon profesor. "Proyek rahasia yang Bapak sebut waktu itu... saya ingin daftar." Mulai dari hari itu, seluruh hidupku hanya untuk bangsa dan negara.

Cinta lama Yohan baru saja bercerai. Malam itu, Yohan melemparkan surat cerai yang ke-99 padaku. "Chika lagi patah hati, dia belum bisa bangkit dari kesedihan. Aku harus menjaganya." Anak laki-lakiku yang berumur tujuh tahun juga ikut menasihati. "Kamu cepat pergi saja, biar Tante Chika pindah ke sini. Rumah kita nggak butuh pembantu seperti kamu." Ayah dan anak itu yakin aku akan marah-marah, menangis, dan memohon supaya mereka tidak mengusirku. Tapi kenyataannya, aku hanya mengangguk pelan. Lalu diam-diam menandatangani surat cerai itu. Sepuluh tahun kemudian, anakku diwawancarai sebagai peraih nilai tertinggi ujian nasional. Wartawan bertanya padanya, "Nak, apa yang membuatmu tetap semangat belajar selama ini?" Dia terdiam sejenak, matanya memerah di depan semua orang. "Karena aku ingin bilang ke Ibu, aku sudah dewasa sekarang. Bisa nggak Ibu pulang? Jangan tinggalkan aku lagi."

By the fifth year of my marriage to James Hill, he began pretending to be his late twin brother, the late Don of the family. With that, he took over all of a Don’s duties and the role of my sister-in-law, Hilary’s husband. Every time after he slept with her, he would cut his arm open, kneel before me, and beg for forgiveness. “Pia, you’re the only woman I’ve ever loved. Once Hilary gives birth to the heir and secures her position, I’ll fake my death and come back for you.” He told me his twin brother had died saving him, so he had to fulfill his brother’s last wish. During the year he pretended to be his brother, James slept with Hilary ninety-nine times. After a full year, Hilary finally gave birth to the family’s heir. I truly believed James would fake his death as promised, then take our son and me away from this bloody life. However, I saw him with Hilary in his arms, teasing the tiny baby she carried. “Hilary, I’ll stay with you and our child until he’s ready to take over as the next Don.” Silently, I wiped my tears and went back to my room to pack my suitcase. My son saw me crying and ran into my arms, gently wiping away my tears with his little hands. “Ma, Aunt Hilary already had her baby. Why isn’t Papa coming home yet?” I placed my clothes into the suitcase as I told him softly, “Because he doesn’t want us anymore. But don’t be sad, sweetheart. I will build us a home.” If James wanted to raise an heir, then I would return to North Atlantis’s most powerful mafia family, take my rightful place as my father’s heir, and become the Godmother of the Mafia.
