Kata-kata Saat Down

"Jika membunuh tidak berdosa dan tidak masuk penjara. Orang pertama yang akan kulenyapkan adalah kakak iparku," bisiknya di telinga. Namun membuatku membeku seketika. Ini ... ini bukan Alya yang kukenal. "Tapi aku tidak bodoh, Mas. Bahkan kartu AS kakakmu berada padaku, aku bisa saja menghancurkan dia kapanpun yang kumau," ucapnya lagi penuh penekanan. Brugh! Aku terjatuh karena dorongan kuat yang diberikan, Alya. "Aku bisa berubah menjadi jahat! Tergantung bagaimana cara orang lain memperlakukanku, Mas!" -Alya-

My new husband always acted like a child. Before our son turned two, he would grab the boy’s food bowls every single day and refuse to let go. When our son turned four, he had developed an obsession with planting seeds and watering the little garden in our backyard. When our son turned five, I ran into my Christian ex-boyfriend after six years apart at a business event. He looked the same as before and narrowed his eyes at me with cold disdain. “Didn’t we agree never to see each other again after the breakup? “How are you still this pathetic after six years? You chased me all the way here?” In an instant, everyone turned to watch and whispered among themselves, wondering whether I would shamelessly beg him to get back together with me. After all, back then, I had used every trick I had just to win over William. It was how I had managed to get hold of a man who seemed aloof and almost otherworldly. No one knew that every time William slept with me, he would go to church and repent in secret before a photo of his foster sister. He even kicked me out of the Wells family for her sake. He forced me to donate over a quart of blood to his foster sister when I was hospitalized after a miscarriage. From that moment on, my heart was numb. I returned to my hometown and married my devoted husband. I never expected that six years later, I would see him again. William watched me in silence, then pulled an old diamond ring from his pocket and tossed it at my feet. “Pick it up, and put it on. I’ll marry you.”

Setelah mendaftarkan pernikahan selama lima tahun, suamiku yang seorang pemadam kebakaran selalu berkata dia tidak punya waktu untuk menggelar acara pernikahan.

[ Pasangan Kapten Daniel memang cantik, nggak seperti istriku yang cuma bisa mengurus rumah sampai wajahnya kusam. ] [ Iya, anggun dan tenang sekali. Pasti istri yang bijak di balik kesuksesan Kapten Daniel. ] Dengan tangan kasar yang gemetar, aku hendak berkata bahwa akulah istri Daniel. Namun, tiba-tiba terdengar dentuman keras. Terjadi ledakan gas di dapur. Sambil menahan rasa sakit seperti dipanggang suhu tinggi, aku meneleponnya untuk meminta tolong. Telepon itu malah direspons dengan nada tidak sabar, "Ribut apa sih? Aku bilang mau mengadakan pernikahan cuma supaya kamu nggak datang bikin drama." "Ayah Rania gugur demi menyelamatkanku. Aku membiarkannya menerima penghargaan sebagai istriku, itu nggak berlebihan, 'kan?" Aku tertegun sejenak. Lalu, telepon itu diputus tanpa ragu.

Clayton Amos finally agrees to marry me during my fifth year as the antagonist of a novel. On the day of my wedding, the chandelier in the middle of the hall suddenly snaps and falls. At the most critical moment, he shoves me aside and runs over to protect Gladys Dawson, the protagonist of the novel, and his first love.

This is when the system appears and asks me, "Hailey Paltrow, would you like to abort your mission now?" I nod in silent response. "Since he's going to end up losing all four of his limbs and ultimately wish for death, I'll let him have it."
