Hujan Unedited Version

[Voici la version française du roman anglais 'The Mafia Don’s Innocent Love'.] Artemy Loskutov... Connu pour mon comportement glacial, ma nature impitoyable et mes talents mortels, j'inspire le respect et la peur à tous ceux qui croisent mon chemin. L'amour et l'affection n'ont pas leur place dans mon existence ; mon seul but est de me venger de la détestable mafia Cavalieri, responsable de la mort prématurée de ma mère. Lorsque je tombe sur une jeune femme, battue et cachée sous mon lit, je l'épargne non pas par gentillesse, mais je la considère comme une simple possession, un jouet à manipuler. Rebecca Cavalieri... Je m'étais habituée aux hommes qui cherchaient à m'exploiter, à me faire du mal et à me rejeter. La confiance est un concept insaisissable, et mon cœur reste caché sous des couches d'angoisse. Artemy, cependant, a réussi à déterrer et à rallumer la flamme vacillante en moi. Il a réveillé mes émotions endormies. Mais s’il découvre l’ampleur réelle du danger que je représente pour lui, je risque de perdre non seulement son affection, mais aussi ma vie.

Suamiku … seorang komandan resimen yang telah menikah denganku selama sepuluh tahun, kutahan di luar ruang duka anak kami. Bukan tanpa alasan. Sebelum mengembuskan napas terakhirnya, anakku meninggalkan tiga permintaan terakhir. Permintaan pertama … Untuk sementara waktu, jangan beri tahu ayah tentang kematiannya. Dia takut ayahnya akan bersedih. Permintaan kedua …. Masakkan makanan kesukaan ayah, lalu mintalah ayah menemaninya merayakan ulang tahunnya yang terakhir. Dan permintaan ketiga …. Jika ayah tak datang, maka pastikan, benar-benar pastikan, jangan pernah biarkan pria itu muncul lagi di depan makamnya. Jadi, setelah anakku tiada …. Meski hujan deras mengguyur di luar aula duka. Meski pria itu berdiri dengan mata merah dan tubuh gemetar. Meski tangisnya pecah histeris di balik pintu ruang duka …. Aku tetap tak membiarkannya mendekati anakku. Bahkan selangkah pun tidak. Tiga hari lalu, Yuda Saloka menghabiskan semalaman bersama cinta pertamanya. Bersama anak perempuan itu, mereka menyalakan kembang api. Saat pulang, dia membawa sebuah tas sekolah baru. Katanya … sebagai pengganti karena telah melewatkan ulang tahun anak kami. Tapi dia mengerutkan kening, tak mengerti alasan air mata di sudut mataku. “Cuma ulang tahun saja, ‘kan? Nanti juga bisa dirayakan lagi.” Saat itu, dia belum tahu … Anak kami … yang baru berusia lima tahun … telah meninggal karena asma. Dan takkan pernah lagi punya kesempatan menyambut hari pertamanya bersekolah.

Sejak sahabat masa kecil Irfan meninggal, dia membenciku selama sepuluh tahun penuh. Hari kedua setelah menikah, dia langsung mengajukan diri ke organisasi untuk pergi ke perbatasan. Selama sepuluh tahun itu, aku menulis surat tanpa henti, berusaha menunjukkan ketulusanku. Tapi, balasan yang kuterima selalu hanya satu kalimat. [Kalau kamu benar-benar merasa bersalah, lebih baik cepat mati saja!] Namun, saat aku diculik, dia malah menerobos markas penjahat seorang diri, menembus hujan peluru demi menyelamatkanku. Sebelum meninggal, dengan sisa tenaganya, dia menepis tanganku dengan keras. “Menikah denganmu… adalah penyesalan terbesarku….” “Kalau ada kehidupan berikutnya, kumohon jangan pernah datang menggangguku lagi….” Di pemakaman, ibu Irfan menangis penuh penyesalan. “Anakku, ini salahku… aku nggak seharusnya memaksamu….” Ayah Irfan juga menatapku penuh kebencian. “Kamu sudah membunuh Selina, sekarang juga membunuh anakku. Dasar pembawa sial! Kok kamu nggak mati saja?!” Bahkan komandan yang dulu mati-matian mendukung pernikahan kami hanya bisa menggeleng dan menghela napas. “Ini salahku yang dulu memisahkan mereka, aku benar-benar bersalah pada Irfan.” Semua orang merasa kasihan pada Irfan. Termasuk diriku sendiri. Aku dikeluarkan dari organisasi dan malam itu juga, aku menelan racun di tengah sawah yang sepi. Saat membuka mata kembali, aku mendapati diriku kembali ke malam sebelum pernikahan. Kali ini, aku memutuskan untuk merelakan semuanya.

Aku mengejarnya tanpa memedulikan apa pun, mencari dia di tengah hujan selama sepuluh jam penuh. Saat aku hampir putus asa, aku justru melihat sekretarisnya menyiarkan langsung lamaran Jason di media sosial. Sahabat Jason menggoda di kolom komentar, [Kamu sebentar lagi jadi pengantin pria, memangnya kamu nggak takut cewekmu di rumah marah?] Balasan Jason begitu dingin, [Aku cuma janji kasih dia posisi sebagai Nyonya Ladi, buat hal lainnya jangan pernah dia harap.] [Dia bawa dana investasi sepuluh 2 triliun buat nikah, apa rela terima perlakuan kayak gini?] Aku seakan bisa melihat Jason di balik layar ponsel mengejek sambil mengetik, [Menukar 2 triliun investasi dengan posisi Nyonya Ladi, dia pun nggak rugi.] [Kalau bukan karena dia, Zoe nggak bakal terpaksa pergi ke luar negeri. Beberapa hari terakhir ini termasuk kompensasiku untuknya.] Kukuku menancap sampai ke daging, tapi aku tetap tenang saat membakar semua barang yang berhubungan dengan dia. Pada hari pernikahan itu, dia mencariku ke mana-mana seperti orang gila. Namun, di gedung perjamuan mewah seberang jalan, aku baru saja mengenakan cincin berlian yang diberikan pria lain.

Eliza Ward does not fall through time. Time bends toward her. Pulled from the present into Revolutionary America, Eliza becomes trapped in a landscape where history repeats unevenly, battles restart with variations, and memory functions as both anchor and weapon. She is not a chosen heroine, but a constant: a woman whose awareness destabilizes the moment itself. She meets Mercy Hale, a midwife and witch who understands time as a negotiation rather than a force to command. Mercy aids Eliza’s survival while refusing the role of savior, having already learned the cost of standing too close to history’s center. During a looping battle, Eliza saves Thomas Reed, a Continental soldier who does not shift when time does. Thomas is an anchor: steady, observant, unchanged across iterations. Their bond deepens in an almost-normal village where time briefly behaves. Eliza’s intervention triggers time’s response. Rather than immediate destruction, time collects interest. Mercy bargains to spare Eliza and Thomas, sacrificing her own future to stabilize the present. Time extracts payment from Eliza as well, stripping away her voice, the very tool she uses to name and hold moments in place. Silenced and unmoored, Eliza is violently displaced back into the original battle. Unable to anchor the moment, she watches Thomas die in the version of history that was always waiting beneath her defiance. Told in rotating perspectives between Eliza, Thomas, and Mercy, The Hours That Refused to Behave is a lyrical time-travel novel about revolution, restraint, and consequence, asking not whether history can be changed, but who pays when it is.

100 years ago, amidst WW3's nuclear bombing, a deadly virus was released in the atmosphere and nearly wiping out the humanity. It lives inside the human brain thriving on the empathy receptors, leading to irrational behaviour and ultimately brain death. To slow the damage, scientists created L.O.V.E, short for Living Off Vital Emotions, a nanovaccine that numbs the virus and switches off all strong emotions. As a last resort and with a dying planet, the Supreme Government created the City, a place to contain the infected survivors suitable for the experiment. Those in the first stages of illness became ideal candidates to receive the neuroinhibitor. Having their feelings restrained and their memory altered, those who come of age are designated a life partner through a selection process, thus preserving the humankind. A few decades after the trial had started, scientists had a major breakthrough. The nanites, which are highly chemically reactive organisms, are changing their bio-engineered purpose when dopamine levels are high. With a new generation of nanoids, stronger and smarter to fight the battle, the virus doesn't have a chance. Many attempts were made to create a man-made version of synthetic dopamine and each time the outcome was a disaster. Their goal is to create new generations, immune to the virus. These are called Purebloods, the offsprings of those who find pure love, the only cure to save them from a violent death. Running out of time, the Experiment entered in its final stages. To minimize the threats, the Colonies have sent their best soldiers to oversee the trial and protect its key subjects. If only things were going according to plan, or better... stay hidden. With Iron Guard, the resistance outside the walls, hunting the Purebloods too, will the trial save human race before it's too late?
