Jawaban Interview

Two years since her last job as a nanny, Willow is lost at sea without a proper job. Being broke and living off the streets of Florida was never on her to do list and she is never planning on doing so, that's why when she received an email the next morning for an interview with Lorenzo Moretti, the richest businessman and a single father in the business world, she didn't think twice before showing up. Lorenzo is calm and quiet, too much of a professional himself, maybe that's why Willow never expected him to be a part of the mafia. Too much going on in her head, his children, her problems, his secrets and the very thick tension between them, there's just too many obstacles in the way of her profession. ****** “And you seemed busy up here, that's why I didn't want to disturb you.” I told him. He pulls me close, my hands grip the ends of his shirt to steady myself. I could feel every movement of his fingertips at the sides of my waist. I almost melted away when he placed a featherlike kiss at the base of my neck. “I would let you disturb me, Willow.”

Ibu tetaplah seorang ibu. Seburuk apapun sikapnya. Dia akan tetap menjadi ibumu. Dia akan tetap menjadi tempatmu kembali dalam Suka dan duka. Sekalipun dia telah tiada, dia akan Tetap menjadi orang yang kau sebut ibu. Mak" sapa ku pelan "Hmm kenapa?" Ucap mamak yang masih fokus menatap layar ponselnya. "Boleh matikan dulu YouTube itu, atau mamak pause lah, Laila mau bicara serius" ucapku mengiba. "Bicaralah, biar mataku menonton telingaku mendengar kamu bicara apa" ucap mamak yang masih fokus memperhatikan channel salah satu artis idolanya. Melihat jawaban mamak yang tak bersahabat aku lebih memilih berdiri, mengurungkan niatku. Saat ini ingin melangkah aku di kejutkan dengan bahasa mamak yang benar-benar kasar menurutku. "Anak tidak punya sopan santun" ucapnya. Lalu bagaimana dengan ibunya Laila? Ibu yang tidak pernah mengalah dengan anaknya, walaupun Laila telah memperlakukan ibunya sebaik mungkin. Cerita ini di kemas dengan gaya bahasa yang sedikit berbeda, menggunakan logat daerah dari kota Sumatera. Yang penasaran, yuk lanjut di baca bab demi bab.

"Urus bayi ini sebaik mungkin, kalau tidak aku akan menceraikan kamu." Sarah mematung, matanya mengikuti telunjuk Andra suaminya yang tertuju pada boks bayi. Kalau biasanya meminta tolong itu bernada rendah dan memohon tapi tidak Andra laki laki yang bergelar suaminya itu. Andra meminta Sarah mengurus bayi madunya dengan nada ancaman. Tidak cukup mengabaikan dan bersikap tidak adil kepada dirinya hampir satu tahun ini. Andra seakan tidak mempunyai perasaan memperlakukan Sarah sesuka hatinya. Sanggupkah dia. Jawaban tentu saja dirinya tidak sanggup. Mengurus bayi dari wanita yang menghancurkan dirinya bukan hal yang mudah bagi Sarah. Bagaimana pun melihat wajah bayi itu yang ada bayang bayang sikap Andra dan Gita sang madu akan selalu terlintas di kepalanya. Gita adalah wanita yang bersedia dinikahi berselang satu hari setelah Andra menikahi Sarah. Mereka hidup dalam satu atap. Satu suami dua istri. Yang bisa dikatakan jika suami istri yang sebenarnya adalah Andra dan Gita meskipun hanya menikah siri. Sedangkan Sarah sebagai istri sah di hadapan agama dan negara hanya sebagai pelengkap. Bukan pelengkap kebahagiaan adalah pelengkap sasaran penderitaan.

My father was a highly respected criminal investigator, and my mother was the head of the ER, dedicated to saving lives. However, I was a regular at the local police station. I fought, caused trouble, and earned the title of “the most hopeless kid on the block.” The first time, I publicly insulted my newly transferred cousin at school. My father dragged me straight to the police station in front of everyone and had me locked up for a full day and night. The second time, I led a gang of thugs to block my cousin’s way home in an alley. My mother was so furious, she dumped me deep in the mountains, leaving me to be bullied by a lecherous bachelor. The third time, I stole a keepsake from my cousin and tossed it down a sewer. My father put the handcuffs on me himself and sent me straight to juvenile detention. Five years later, I became a key informant in an anti-fraud operation, helping the police crack a major nationwide case. The media rushed to report the story, and journalists packed my parents’ house to interview the “hero’s family.” However, my parents just scoffed over the phone. “Her? A hero? We will only believe she is changed for the better when she is dead.” So why was it that when they saw me lying in a pool of blood after shielding a hostage, they finally cried?

Mary Ann “Maan” Perez resigned from her work as an office secretary in their province to apply as a Customer Service Representative (call center agent) in Manila. After receiving a message from her prospective employer for a scheduled interview, she decided to contact her cousin to tell her to fetch her at the bus terminal in Manila for she will be staying with them for a week. Unfortunately while on her way to Manila, her cousin Joan, had an emergency to attend to and would not be able to fetch her. Instead Joan’s cousin from her mother's side of the family came to fetch Maan. Virgil ‘Gil” Velasco (Joan’s cousin) who lives in his own apartment brought Maan to his house with an agreement that Joan will be fetching Maan that day. Later that day, Joan called to inform them that she could not fetch Maan because her mother is suspected to have contracted COVID-19 and needs to be under observation for at least 14 days and if it wasn’t bad news enough, an announcement was made that night that the government decided to put National Capital Region (NCR) and the entire Luzon under lock down. Going in and out of the area is prohibited for 1 month!Locked in together for a month, will they catch the virus called love and start a romance or will it end when the lock down ends?

Berawal dari sebuah pertemuan yang selalu menjengkelkan hati, Indriani Putri seorang janda beranak satu dengan seorang pemuda tampan yang baru saja lulus sekolah menengah itu membuat wanita berumur 26 tahun itu, menggelengkan kepalanya melihat kelakukan pemuda yang baru menginjak usia 18 tahun itu, yang jauh dari kata seorang laki-laki 'dewasa' Namun... Takdir berkata lain pemuda itulah yang menjadi hidup seorang Indriani tidak akan lagi menyandang status sebagai seorang janda. "Mbak aku ini sudah besar lho. Mau bukti?" Seringai nakal senyum tersungging di bibir pemuda itu. "Apa nya yang besar? Jempol kaki?!" Sahut Indri dengan sedikit ketus, bisa-bisanya bocah ingusan yang kini adalah suaminya itu menggodanya. "Hahaha." Pemuda bernama Adrian itu tergelak dengan jawaban Indri. "Wah Mbak udah tahu kalau jempol kaki aku gede. Berarti Mbak udah berpengalaman." Goda nya lagi membuat ku menatap tajam padanya. "Kenapa? Mau coba ya sama aku?" Seru nya menyebalkan. "Aku siap kok kapan aja mbak mau." Goda nya lagi.  "Mimpi mu!" Ketus Indri seraya pergi. "Halal lho mbak." Teriaknya. "Yukkkk." Ucap nya mengikuti langkah pergi nya Indri.

The year my family goes bankrupt, I cling to Ewan Rivera for one last night. When I wake up, I throw my final bit of money at him. "You can go cozy up to some other sugar mommy now. You don't need to degrade yourself by serving an ugly woman like me." I'm kicked out by the people liquidating our assets, and everyone points and laughs at the birthmark on my face. Meanwhile, Ewan's friends are busy celebrating his fresh start. "With a face like yours, tons of wealthy, gorgeous women are lining up for you. Why torture yourself with that ugly chick?" "Now that she's bankrupt, she won't cling to you anymore, right?" Five years later, Ewan has gone from being a broke campus heartthrob to a rising star in business. In the interview room, he flips through my application and pauses on my photo. He asks coolly, "You're 28? You already have a child?" I meet his probing gaze and introduce myself. "Yes. I'm Ingrid Landeau. I'm married with a daughter." I've changed my name and removed the large birthmark on my face. Ewan can't recognize me anymore.

Mindy Horton and I got married on Thanksgiving. Coincidentally, her assistant went abroad to further his studies that day. I did not pay much attention to it until the eve of another Thanksgiving three years later. I was browsing TikTok and came across Mindy, who was in a street interview about couples. The reporter stopped her and asked, "Excuse me. Could I have a second of your time? Who would you like to spend today with?" Mindy paused for a moment. She struggled to answer after a long while, "With my lover." "Call him now. He should know how you feel!" I smiled as I sat up, ready to pick up Mindy's call. However, when I looked up, I saw Mindy sobbing to another man on the screen. "I know you've returned, and I still can't forget you after all these years. Do you know how much I regret not marrying you and marrying another man? We missed our chance with each other three years ago. Let's spend Thanksgiving together this year!" I sat in bed all night and booked a flight out of the country the next morning. "When are you leaving?" my assistant asked. I replied, "On Thanksgiving."

Mom, Dad, and Jesse—my younger sister—went out to sea on a trip, but they were caught in a tsunami, and all three perished in the accident. I was left all alone—just as I was about to start university—burdened with nothing but a mountain of debt. In the end, everything I had saved for my university tuition, along with the house Mom and Dad had left me, was taken by debt collectors. I was then forced to work in a shady factory, laboring 16 hours a day, sleeping in a shabby ten-person dorm, and surviving on nothing but thin, flavorless broth. I finally cleared the last of the debt when I accidentally discovered that Jesse—who was supposed to be dead—had appeared on television and become a famous dancer. Mom and Dad even gave an interview about her success. It turned out they had taken out a massive loan and faked their deaths to flee to Pravia for Jesse's dance studies, leaving the entire debt for me to deal with just as I was supposed to start university. I went to confront them, demanding the truth, but they threw me out like trash. I was then hit and killed by a speeding truck at the side of the road. "How could Lorraine be such a nuisance, not even having the decency to die far away from our doorstep?" I have been given another chance, reborn on the day they faked their deaths.
