Internal Bleeding In Arm

La boda con Diego Velázquez, heredero al reino, se vio empañada por la tragedia. María de Mendoza, la hija adoptiva de Lola —la nana que había cuidado a Diego desde niño—, se quitó la vida. La encontraron ahorcada, vestida con un traje de novia. El vino de la boda resbaló de las manos de Diego. Tras un largo silencio, soltó con voz fría, sin una pizca de emoción: —Dale una buena suma de dinero a Lola. Y asegúrate de que María tenga un entierro digno. Y no dijo más. Continuó con la ceremonia como si nada hubiera pasado, como si aquello no le afectara. Cinco años después, la víspera de que Diego ascendiera al trono, recibí la noticia: no podía tener hijos. Me envió a un convento, donde pasaría el resto de mis días, con la condición de no volver a pisar el palacio. Esa misma noche, me mostró una fotografía de María y, sin inmutarse, me dijo: —Cuando ella murió, llevaba mi hijo. Si no fuera por la influencia de tu familia en la corte, dime, ¿cómo habríamos terminado casándonos? ¿Y qué habría sido de María? —Carmen Pimentel, no sirves ni para ser madre. Quédate aquí, reza y paga por tus pecados. Ora por el alma de María y de nuestro hijo. En menos de un año, mi familia Pimentel fue acusada de traición y todos fueron ejecutados. Yo, por mi parte, morí de un infarto, desangrándome por la boca. Cuando volví a abrir los ojos, me encontré de vuelta en el día de mi boda, justo antes de entrar al palacio.

Aragorn, an Elven prince with a mind like no other and the conqueror of the Nazerunian Desert. A jack of all trades and a conceited one he is. The Azsarian nation once again needs his help, as he earlier fought in a battle against the overthrowing action of the desert tribes. With hope that their movement will cause the current leader of Traia to back down from the throne, thus replacing him with a better leader. As a citizen of Nazeru he would not meddle with foreign affairs, but as the great prince of the Elves he must do so. As it will raise the understanding of humans of elves and it will strengthen the bond between these two completely different creatures. But what if love enters the battlefield? A past lover whom he still has feelings for? Will he be able to focus on his task or will it make his mission much more difficult?

Me disponía a irme del restaurante de mi hermano cuando la gerente me detuvo. —Señorita, no ha pagado su cuenta todavía. Al ver su cara desconocida, pensé: "Debe ser nueva y no me conoce". Así que me expliqué con calma: —Cárgalo a la cuenta del señor Blanco. Él ya sabe. La gerente me lanzó una mirada llena de desprecio. —Señorita, somos un Tres Estrellas Michelin. Aquí no cargamos cuentas a nadie —dijo, entregándome la cuenta impresa. Bajé la mirada y la revisé: cincuenta mil dólares por una comida. Incluía: "Mantenimiento de vajilla brillante: tres mil. Purificación de aire exclusiva: cinco mil. Servicio de manejo emocional para VIPs: diez mil". Y montones de conceptos absurdos más. No sabía que mi hermano hubiera abierto un lugar tan estafador. Solté una risa sarcástica. —Soy la hermana del señor Blanco. Si hay algún problema, que me hable en la casa. Pero ella no se dio por vencida. —¿Ahora no puede pagar y se hace la emparentada? ¿Y hasta se inventa ser familia del señor Blanco? Envié un mensaje de texto a mi asistente: "Dile a mi hermano que o despide a esta mujer ahora mismo, o retiro toda mi inversión".

Sa paniniwala ni Purisima Cruzado, ang anak ang pinakamalakas na angkla ng isang ina. Kaya nang dumating ang panahong kinailangan niyang mag-ipon para sa operasyon ng kanyang ina, kinain niya ang takot at hiya para makapasok sa Moonlit—isang madilim na mundong pinapasukan lamang ng mga desperado at mayayaman. Isang gabi. Isang kliyente. Isang kasunduan kapalit ng malaking pera. Hindi niya inakalang ang lalaking iyon ang estrangherong tanging pinaglingkuran niya—ang magiging ama ng batang isinilang niya. Pagkalipas ng ilang taon, muling nagtagpo ang kanilang landas. Dirus Van Arkel—ang kliyenteng hindi niya malilimutan, ngunit siya, hindi man lang naalala nito. At sa hindi inaasahang pagkakataon, inalok siya ni Dirus ng trabaho: magpanggap bilang kanyang kasintahan… at ang anak niya ay ipakitang anak nilang dalawa upang pagselosin ang dating fiancée nito. Ngunit paano kung ang “pagpapanggap” na ito ang maglalantad ng katotohanang matagal niyang inilihim? At paano kung ang lalaking minsan niyang binayaran para mabuhay ang ina niya… ay siya ring lalaking nakatadhanang wasakin ang pader na itinayo niya sa puso niya?

Demi biaya pengobatan suamiku yang mengalami kecelakaan, aku terpaksa meninggalkannya. Ibu mertuaku berjanji akan menanggung semua biaya perawatannya, dengan satu syarat, aku harus pergi dari hidupnya. Diam-diam, aku membawa serta anak dalam kandunganku. Aku tak pernah membayangkan harus memilih antara tetap di sisi suamiku atau memastikan dia mendapatkan perawatan yang layak. Tapi ibu mertuaku tak memberiku pilihan lain. "Jika kau benar-benar mencintainya, buktikan dengan menghilang dari hidupnya," katanya dingin, menatapku dengan penuh kebencian. "Kamu sudah cukup membawa sial dalam hidupnya." Dadaku sesak. Aku ingin membela diri, ingin berteriak bahwa aku bukan penyebab semua ini. Tapi saat aku menoleh ke arah Arfan, terbaring lemah dengan nafas yang bergantung pada alat medis, aku tahu aku tak punya pilihan lain. Malam itu, dengan tangan gemetar, aku mengemasi barang-barangku. Tak banyak yang kubawa, hanya beberapa pakaian, sedikit uang, dan tentu saja, rahasia terbesar yang ku sembunyikan dari ibu mertuaku, kehidupan kecil yang tumbuh dalam rahimku. Sebelum pergi, aku berdiri di ambang pintu kamar rumah sakit, menatapnya untuk terakhir kali. Aku ingin menyentuhnya, menggenggam tangannya, membisikkan bahwa aku mencintainya dan berharap dia segera sadar. Tapi aku takut. Takut jika aku menunggu lebih lama, aku tak akan sanggup pergi. "Aku mencintaimu," bisikku pelan, lalu melangkah pergi, meninggalkan hatiku bersamanya.
