Lemari Wine

Saat menyewa rumah, apa kalian pernah bertemu dengan pemilik rumah yang cantik? Aku dan pemilik rumah tinggal berseberangan. Awalnya, aku mengira dia adalah perempuan cantik yang sifatnya cukup dingin. Namun, suatu hari aku benar-benar melihatnya memutar pinggangnya saat menyapu tangga. Belakangan, kami menjadi akrab satu sama lain, bahkan dia dengan ramahnya mengundangku mengunjungi rumahnya. Hingga suatu hari, aku bersembunyi di lemari di rumahnya, menyaksikan dia dan suaminya saling bercengkerama dengan mata kepala sendiri.

Saat pulang kantor, aku selalu curiga dengan kegiatan suamiku di rumah terutama di kamar kami. Jadi aku sengaja bersembunyi di dalam lemari untuk membuktikan dan ternyata benar saja... dia melakukan sesuatu yang membuatku sangat terluka. Bukan hanya itu suamiku berencana menanyakan diri ini dan menguasai perusahaan warisan Papa yang diberikan padaku anak semata wayangnya. Ternyata pernikahan kami bukan karena dia mencintaiku, tapi karena harta.

It was the tallest building in the world. A token of pride to whoever owned it. An industrial empire that stole selfishly in the name of success. A giant that overshadowed its competitors’ comparatively smaller establishments under the risen sun. And everyone knew whose devilish strategies it came from…From the topmost loft of the building stood a man with a glass of red wine in his hand. He was smirking; not at the taste of the fine wine but at the misery of his rivals. “Master Sean, everything happens at your will.” “I know. And that makes everything else boring.”

Demi memberi kejutan pada suamiku, aku melepas pakaianku dan bersembunyi di asrama lokasi proyek konstruksinya. Namun tak kusangka, suamiku tidak datang. Yang datang malah tiga rekan kerjanya yang lain. Mereka tergoda oleh celana dalamku dan malah melampiaskannya pada bibi koki di sana. Karena adegan yang terjadi di hadapanku itu terlalu panas, gairahku pun ikut terpancing. Saat sedang memuaskan diriku, aku tak kuasa mendesah. Ketiga pria itu pun menoleh ke lemari tempatku bersembunyi secara bersamaan ....

On the night of her wedding, unsightly photos of hers were leaked by her best friend, leading her to become the joke of the town. Five years later, she returned with a son with an unknown father, only to bump into an enlarged version of her child! As the cold and handsome man looked at the mini-version of himself, he squinted threateningly and said, “Woman, how dare you run away with my child?”She shook her head innocently in response, “I’m not sure what’s going on either…”At this moment, the little one stood out and stared at the stranger man. “Who’s this rascal bullying my mother? You’ll first have to get past me if you wanna lay a hand on her!”

At Smith family mansion, Camille and her mother Dorca were enjoying their expensive wine as they laughed heartily, it had been easy getting rid of that pest from their lives. " Mother you should have at least accompanied dad to her daughter's wedding," Camille said as she broke into laughter. " Oh dear, you know that I can't allow myself to get embarrassed in front of everyone, I can't have myself associated with Samantha marrying that old fool, it would be a disgrace to our family," Dorca replied sipping her wine ceremoniously. " Why were you at my wedding?" Eliot asked, the question Samantha had dreaded the most.

After my sister's death, I signed a five-year contract marriage with her mafia husband, Horton Falcone. I became the stepmother to my five-year-old nephew, Luca. On my birthday, I wore my late sister's diamond cross necklace, not realizing what it was. At the family dinner, Luca walked up to me with a glass of red wine and threw the wine in my face. The red wine dripped down my cheeks, its sharp scent stinging my eyes and staining my white dress. He tilted his head back to look up at me, his eyes as cold and cruel as his father's. "Don't think you can replace my mom just because you married into the Falcone family," he said with a malicious grin. "You're the reason she's dead." "I wish you were the one who died. Then I could smash your gravestone instead of celebrating this stupid birthday." "I swear, when I grow up, the first thing I'll do is dump you in the Hudson River myself!" The memory stung as sharply as the wine, and all I could taste was despair. I stared at the child I had spent five years raising as my own, a sharp pain pulsing in my chest. I had thought I could devote myself to the Falcone family, that I could win him over with my love. But now, I was just so tired of it all. It was a family with no love, a child who saw me as his mortal enemy. I stopped deluding myself. It was time to let go. But after I left, that arrogant father and son came crawling back to me like whipped dogs, begging for my forgiveness.

Tatlong araw pa lang nagtatrabaho sa kompanya si Cresilda ay hindi na niya maiwasan ang hindi mainis sa boss nila. Ubod ito ng sungit, at hindi man lang ngumingiti. Parating galit at perfectionist pa. Kaya naman ng dumating ang araw ng ika-78th anniversary party ng kompanya ay wala siyang balak na dumalo. Pero ipinag-utos ng boss nila na ang hindi dumalo ay walang Christmas bonus na matatanggap. Kaya naman, walang choice si Criselda. Halos ubusin na niya ang wine sa wine counter sa sobrang inis habang nasa party. Pero ganon na lamang ang gulat niya nang magising siya kinabukasan na walang suot na damit at katabi ang boss nila.

Aku sudah terbaring tanpa sehelai benang di lemari pendingin selama empat puluh hari. Foto-foto yang tidak disensor beredar heboh di internet. Di tengah derasnya fitnah yang menyebar, ibuku malah ikut membagikan fotonya, sambil dengan lembut menasihati adikku, “Dunia hiburan itu kotor, kamu jangan masuk ke sana. Lebih baik kamu warisi harta peninggalan kakakmu saja.” “Kamu berbeda dengan dia. Kamu adalah anak kesayanganku, jangan sampai dikotori dunia seperti itu.” Ternyata, dia sudah lupa. Lupa bahwa aku masuk ke dunia yang ‘kotor’ ini demi mencari uang untuk mengobati kanker yang dideritanya.
