Julia Quinn

Dingin... Pagi ini dingin menusuk hilang ke relung hati.Menenggelamkan rasa candu yang selama ini melekat dalam diri. Apa yang kau inginkan?Maaf aku belum bisa mengabulkannya.Ada batasan tak kasat mata untuk kita, dan itu karena kau yang memulainya.Jadi mengapa saat ini kau kembali merusak keyakinanku, dengan bersikap kekanakan? Apa kau tahu bagaimana rasanya melawan arus?Tolong jangan seperti ini.Jangan menyulitkan apa yang sudah mulai kuterima.Kau hanya perlu untuk melanjutkan sisa hidup, dan aku pun demikian.°• Julia Malika Kuncoro•°Aku menyesal melewatkanmu,tanpa berjuang lebih dulu.Seharusnya aku tidak membiarkankesempatan itu lewat begitu saja,di saat kuyakini kau memiliki rasa untukku.Saat ini ketika tak ada satu pun petunjuk, aku merasa benar-benar seperti manusia bodoh.Puluhan purnama aku berusaha, tapi puluhan kali pula aku merasasemakin bodoh lagi dan lagi.Apa yang kau inginkan?Haruskah semua ini ku akhiri? °• Saidan Pratama Putra•°

Eu estava casada havia cinco anos com Matteo, o Don da família Lamberti. Ninguém sabia que eu era sua esposa. Eu não queria os privilégios. Nem os holofotes. Então permaneci invisível. Nós estávamos apaixonados. Ainda parecia que estávamos namorando todos os dias. Então meu primeiro dia no novo hospital destruiu tudo. — Dra. Accardi, você não vai acreditar nisso. — Uma colega se inclinou, sorrindo. — Adivinha quem é o marido daquela nova paciente? Matteo, o maldito Matteo Lamberti. Eu congelei. Se ela era a esposa dele… então quem era eu? Ela estava grávida. Carregando o futuro herdeiro da família Lamberti. Então o que isso fazia do bebê dentro de mim? Eu me controlei. Fiz o exame. Interpretei o papel da médica calma e competente. Ninguém viu o pânico me dilacerando por dentro. Eu disse a mim mesma que era apenas fofoca. Mentiras. Tinha que ser. Então ouvi Matteo chamá-la de "minha princesa". Aquilo foi o fim. Ele tinha uma nova "princesa". E eu precisava deixá-lo ir.

Para gumaling ang sakit ng kapatid, ibinigay niya ang sarili sa isang kakaibang lalaki. Makalipas ang isang taon, sa isang party kasama ang mga kaibigan ng kanyang bagong boyfriend, idiniin siya ng lalaki sa dingding ng banyo. Ikinawit niya ang gilid ng pantalon nito gamit ang mga daliri, "Sa kama niyan noong isang taon, 68 beses mong tinawag ang pangalan ko." Ang ilan ay nasa hindi matiis na sakit, at ang ilan ay galit na galit na humihingi ng awa. "Maling tao ang nakilala mo, hindi pa kita nakikita." Si Isabella ay tumakas sa gulat at bumalik sa kahon, ngunit hinila siya ng kanyang kasintahan sa lalaki, "Ang uri ng gamot na makapagliligtas sa iyong kapatid ay magagamit lamang ni Master Nicklaus." Ibinaba niya ang kanyang postura at malungkot na nakiusap: "Master, please." Ipinasok ni Nicklaus ang sigarilyo sa kanyang bibig, kinagat ang dulo gamit ang kanyang mga ngipin, na may malamig na mukha at isang malamig na puso, ngunit ang kanyang mga mata ay sumalo sa kanya at hinila siya pabalik sa kabaliwan ng gabing iyon. Ang abo ay pumasok sa kanyang nakalaylay na kwelyo, at si Isabella ay nanginginig sa init, ngunit hinawakan ni Nicklaus ang kanyang kamay at hinila siya palapit. "Marami akong gamot, ano gusto mong palitan?"

Setelah dipaksa menukar jantung untuk cinta pertama suamiku, aku mati di koridor rumah sakit swasta yang didirikannya sendiri. Saat menjelang ajal, anak lelakiku yang berusia enam tahun menangis dan memohon padanya tiga kali. Pertama, anakku menggandeng tangan ayahnya dan berkata bahwa aku muntah darah. Ayahnya menyeringai dingin dan berkata, "Kali ini akhirnya ada kemajuan, sampai mengajarkan anak untuk berbohong." Lalu menyuruh pengawal mengusir anakku dari kamar. Kedua, anakku menarik lengan bajunya dan berkata bahwa aku sudah mulai mengoceh tak karuan karena menahan sakit. Ayahnya mengerutkan kening dan berkata, "Bukannya hanya mengganti jantung? Kata dokter, tidak akan mati." Pengawal maju dan kembali menyeret anakku keluar dari kamar. Ketiga, anakku merangkak di lantai, menggenggam erat ujung celananya sambil menangis, berkata bahwa aku sudah tidak sadarkan diri. Ayahnya akhirnya marah, mencekik leher anakku dan melemparkannya keluar dari kamar. "Sudah kukatakan, Kiyano tidak akan mati. Jika kamu masih berani mengganggu istirahat Sheilla, pasti akan kulempar kalian berdua keluar dari rumah sakit." Untuk menyelamatkanku, anakku menggadaikan Kalung Penjaga Umur yang paling berharga kepada perawat. "Bibi, aku tidak ingin panjang umur lagi, aku hanya ingin ibuku hidup." Perawat menerima Kalung Penjaga Umur dan bersiap mengatur kamar terakhir untukku. Namun Sheilla, cinta pertama suamiku, menyuruh orang menggendong anjing peliharaannya dan menghalangi depan kamar, lalu berkata, "Maaf ya nak, ayahmu khawatir aku akan bosan tidak bertemu anjing, kamar ini disediakan untuk anjingku."

His right hand left his pocket and made its way to my face. He tucked a stray strand of hair behind my ear. He moved even closer, his face a few inches away from mine. His finger left my hair and gently drew invisible lines down my cheek.
