Happy Birthday Sayang

Terlahir dari keluarga milliader, terpandang, keluarga yang dihormati dengan kehidupan yang pebuh dengan kemewahan, masa depan yang terjamin apa pun bisa selalu ia miliki. Tapi dari semua itu tak ada satu pun yang bisa membuat seorang gadis bernama Gracelya Tamara Noa bisa lekas merasa bahagia dalam hidupnya. Perjalanan hidup sedari lahir hingga ia dewasa yang ia dapatkan hanyalah sebuah rasa sakit dan kekecewaan dalam hidupnya, ia hidup dengan segalanya namun yang ia rasakan seperti mati dan kekecewaan hidup. “Apakah tuhan akan selalu menempatkanku pada takdir yang buruk ini?” “Bisakalah aku berakhir bahagia sebelum tuhan mengambilku?” “Dari semua yang aku rasakan, bisakah tuhan memerikan akhir yang baik untukku?” Hanya itu yang selalu ia pertanyakan pada dirinya sendiri setiap waktu, pertanyaan yang penuh dengan harapan kelak ia bisa bahagia, suatu saat nanti.

On my birthday, the dining table was loaded with all my favorites. My mom had been cooking and baking the entire afternoon, insisting everything be perfect for when Mike got home from work so we could celebrate together. But then, he called and said his first love had been drugged at a bar, and he had to go help her. I stopped him and begged him not to go. Mike snapped at me. "Jesus, Em, don’t pull this jealous wife crap. She’s alone, defenseless, and unconscious—I can't let some random dude take advantage of her!" My mother heard those words and was so enraged that she had a heart attack. She died on the spot. Just like that, my mom died on my birthday. I called Mike, asking him to attend my mom's funeral. But before he could reply, I saw Cathy Miller's latest Instagram post, captioned: [Mikey… after all these years, it was always you.] Mike had liked it. My thumb moved before my brain caught up, typing out the only words that mattered: [A homewrecker and a lying bastard. Hope you rot together.]

Setelah mengorbankan segalanya selama tiga tahun, Violet Ananta yang terbaring di meja operasi hanya mendengar satu kalimat, "Hidup matinya nggak ada hubungannya denganku."

I lived in this world full of lies and shit. And those people who know nothing but to judge me. They were busy talking about other people's shits and not minding their own life. Who are they? Did they give me money to feed me and my son? I am not a criminal to treat them like this. They don’t even know me and my story, but the way they looked at me, it was like they have known me for years. Their eyes send daggers at me whenever they see me passing by across the street. Their scrutinizing looks made me feel like I’m just an insect that they wanted me to get rid of. What did I do to them to treat me like I killed someone? Am I a bad person? I was just trying to give my son a good life. I know it may be dirty in their eyes, but at least I did not beg and ask for money from them. I've been living in this unfortunate world since I got fooled by love. And to keep my son, I need to work in this kind of profession. Yes, I worked in a place that they thought was the dirtiest job… But I am still proud that I am Felicity "Happy" Mondragon, and will do my best to give my child everything he needs. Find out why a loving and optimistic woman turned out to be a stripper. Will she find someone who could give her way out of that cruel world?

Dalam waktu tiga tahun, semua orang mengira aku bisa naik sampai batas atas kepalaku dan menjadi pemimpin. Dan aku, sebenarnya hanya menunggu dia memegang tanganku dan kemudian bisa memberiku seluruhnya.

jangan mengantung kan harapan ketika tidak bisa di lakukan jangan berjanji ketika jadi pengecut yang tidak bisa menepati janji bertahan bukan menetap tapi bertahan pilihan

As my murderer's claws tear into my abdomen inch by inch, my father and brother are seated in our family's banquet hall. They're celebrating Carly's 18th birthday and coming-of-age. "You'll always be my little girl." "Happy birthday, Carly." They light 18 pink candles for her. On top of the exquisite red velvet cake is a wolf figurine that they carved for her, and there are well wishes and laughter all around. Meanwhile, I'm curled up in a sewer filled with liquid silver as I bleed to death. My phone has been crushed, and I can't get out. I can only cry for help. A few days later, my father and brother show up together at the autopsy room. My brother stands by the operating table with a scalpel. He slices open the body and sews it back up like it's nothing. My father just covers his nose as he shoots a disgusted glance at my body. He urges my brother to hurry up with the autopsy report. "The victim is a young female wolf presumed to be of pure lineage. Before her death, she was subjected to prolonged captivity and torture. Her throat is nearly severed, her cervical spine is dislocated, and her chest cavity has collapsed. She was also injected with liquid silver before death." Hearing the report, my father looks so calm that it's just like a case study of no consequence. Neither of them can recognize that the body belongs to me—their daughter and sister!
