Lirik Karma Cokelat

Minha melhor amiga, Gabriela Nunes, que insiste no celibato, pegou o esperma que eu tinha escolhido para mim quando me acompanhava na clínica de fertilização. Naquele momento, eu soube que ela também tinha renascido. Na vida passada, eu quis ter um bebê de etnia mista, então fiz fertilização in vitro. Gabriela na época me ridicularizou por estar criando um filho de um estrangeiro, e disse que eu era uma idiota completa. Mal eu sabia que, meio mês depois, eu seria levada para a família real de Nabiro. Acontece que o esperma que eu tinha escolhido era de um príncipe de Nabiro, com oito origens étnicas. Ele não só queria me fazer sua princesa, como também prometeu que nosso filho herdaria o trono. Eu e o bebê fomos valorizados por toda a família real, e as joias no meu corpo quase me esmagavam. Em contraste, Gabriela ofendeu parceiros de trabalho por se autoproclamar uma feminista extrema, foi demitida da empresa e expulsa da indústria. No 100º dia do meu filho, ela usou todas as suas economias para comprar uma passagem de avião para me procurar. Mas, quando eu fui recebê-la, ela jogou meu filho no chão, matando-o, e jogou ácido sulfúrico concentrado em mim. — Por que você tem tanta sorte? Você não merece, sua vadia! Quando abri os olhos novamente, eu voltei ao dia em que Gabriela me acompanhou à clínica de fertilização...

My husband sponsored a poor female college student. While I was being dragged into an alley by a criminal, he was helping her pick out lingerie. While I was hospitalized with serious injuries, he used the money my mother left me to buy her a limited-edition handbag. I confronted him in a heated argument, but he accused me of being unreasonable. "I thought your injuries were so serious, but look—you didn’t even die! Besides, your money is my money. I’ll spend it however I want!"

The day my boyfriend got back together with his first love was the day I boarded the flight to Imperia. "Queenie was just a fling," said my boyfriend. "I'll never see her again. We'll be together forever." His friends were worried about my ruining his heartfelt confession, but I would not. Not this time. Before I went to Imperia, I promised my mentor I would join medical research, and I was half a month away from total communication cutoff. I would have to stay around for ten years for the research. I would not be allowed to contact anyone in the meantime. And thus, my ties to my soon-to-be ex were broken.

I'm playing hide-and-seek with my son when he locks me on the balcony. It's freezing outside, and my face turns blue from the cold. However, all he does is laugh at me while I call for help. He makes ugly faces at me through the glass. "You look like the stray dog downstairs, Mom! You're so ugly!" I die a frosty and terrible death. Before breathing my last breath, I see my son excitedly give my husband a video call. "Mom has frozen to death, Dad. Can you take Ms. Cole home to be my new mom now?" When I open my eyes again, I'm taken back to the moment my son wants me to play hide-and-seek with him.

Hari ketika aku memutuskan untuk mendonorkan tubuhku untuk kajian ilmiah, keluargaku justru berkumpul mengelilingi adik angkatku, Halida, merayakan diterimanya dia dalam sebuah program perawatan eksperimental paling canggih. Seharusnya akulah yang menderita kanker otak. Tapi Halida menggunakan posisi suamiku, Zafran, di rumah sakit untuk menukar catatan medisnya yang sehat dengan diagnosis terminalku, merebut satu-satunya kesempatan yang kupunya untuk bertahan hidup. Dan bagian terburuknya, semua orang bersorak mendukungnya. Rasanya sakit sekali. Aku berusaha tetap kuat, sampai tanpa sengaja mendengar para perawat berbisik, "Bagus sekali Dokter Zafran bisa mengamankan tempat itu untuk Halida. Mereka bilang dia hanya punya tiga hari lagi." Jadi, dalam 72 jam terakhir hidupku, aku perlahan melepaskan segalanya. Ketika aku memberikan naskah asli novel-novelku yang sudah kutuang seluruh hati dan jiwaku kepada Halida, ayah dan saudaraku menatapku dengan senyum puas. Ketika Zafran memutuskan untuk memenuhi permintaan terakhir Halida dengan menikahinya, dia menyerahkan surat cerai padaku. Aku menandatanganinya tanpa ragu sedikit pun. Dia menghela napas dan memuji aku karena akhirnya bisa berpikir begitu rasional. Dan ketika akulah yang membujuk putri kami, Olivia untuk memanggil Halida Ibu, Olivia justru berseri-seri mengatakan bahwa ibu barunya adalah yang terbaik. "Jangan khawatir." Zafran menenangkanku. "Kami hanya menjaganya untuk sementara. Setelah dia tiada, semuanya akan kembali padamu." Aku memberikan pada Halida segalanya yang kupunya, persis seperti yang mereka mau. Lalu kenapa, ketika mereka akhirnya tahu semua ini hanyalah kebohongan kejam Halida, mereka datang padaku sambil menangis, berkata akulah yang mereka inginkan sejak awal?

Billionaire Ethan Gibson, determined to break the family's curse of ending without an heir, spent a fortune recruiting ten "candidate mothers" and placed them together on his private island. On the day they arrived, Ethan announced publicly: Whoever delivers his first heir will become the future mistress of the Gibson family. Greed grew faster than desire. Within just a few months, several women announced their pregnancies with great pride. However, they and their unborn children were thrown into the ocean and fed to sharks. The reason was simple: they had been found to be involved with other men. Every night, the screams coming from the harbor kept me awake. I was terrified, because I had also had a single accidental encounter with Ethan, and I was now pregnant. When the day finally came and I saw what I had delivered, everything went dark before my eyes. Those mistresses who were fed to the sharks had at least carried human babies. I had given birth to three tiny puppies.

Ketika sahabatku mulai mengalami masalah rambut rontok parah, dia mendengar kabar bahwa mencuci rambut dengan ASI bisa mengaktifkan folikel rambut. Oleh karena itu, dia memintaku untuk meminjamkan ASI. Aku merasa hal itu sangat menjijikkan dan dengan alasan bahwa ASI-ku hanya cukup untuk anak perempuanku, aku menolaknya. Temanku tidak menyerah, dia akhirnya membeli ASI dari internet dengan harga tinggi. Sayangnya, ASI yang dia dapatkan mengandung virus dan dia terinfeksi sifilis. Alih-alih menerima akibat dari tindakannya sendiri, dia malah menyalahkan anak perempuanku. Pada suatu malam, dia diam-diam masuk ke rumahku dan menggunakan rambutnya sendiri untuk mencekik anakku hingga tewas. Setelah mengetahui kebenarannya, aku benar-benar kehilangan kendali. Aku mencabut semua rambut di kepalanya dan kemudian membunuhnya dengan sebilah pisau dapur. Namun, saat aku membuka mata, aku mendapati diriku kembali ke hari ketika dia pertama kali meminta meminjam ASI dariku.

Mein Freund Tom versprach mir, an meinem 20. Geburtstag eine prächtige Paarungszeremonie für mich auszurichten. Doch auf meiner Geburtstagsfeier machte Tom stattdessen Lily, meiner Stiefschwester, feierlich einen Antrag zur Gefährtenbindung. Während alle jubelten und gratulierten, stand ich da wie eine Närrin. Allein gelassen, voller Verzweiflung. Der Schmerz der Zurückweisung überwältigte mich. Da trat Sam vor, der Alpha-Erbe des Obsidian-Stammes, und verkündete allen, er habe sich schon lange in mich verguckt und wolle mich als Gefährtin erwählen. Ob ich einwillige? Ich willigte ein. Fünf Jahre lang verwöhnte er mich, behandelte mich zärtlich und prägte sich jede meiner Vorlieben ein. Doch dann hörte ich zufällig ein Gespräch zwischen ihm und seinem Beta. Mein Glückstraum zerbrach. „Sam, Lily ist jetzt die Luna des Weißrosen-Rudels, genau wie sie es wollte. Willst du diese Scharade mit Any wirklich fortsetzen?“ „Da ich Lily nicht haben kann, ist es mir egal, wer an meiner Seite ist. Zudem verhindere ich so, dass Any Lilys Glück zerstören kann.“ In Sams Tresor im Arbeitszimmer hütete er alle Geschenke von Lily wie Kostbarkeiten: handgefertigte Wolfszahn-Anhänger, Briefpapier mit ihrem Pfotenabdruck. Sogar auf seiner wertvollen Goldschuppen-Rüstung war jede Schuppe mit Lilys Namen graviert. „Lily, meine große Liebe. Meine Klauen werden für dich jeden Dorn zerreißen und dir das Glück erkämpfen, das du dir wünschst.“ „Wenn du mich brauchst, gebe ich dir gern mein schlagendes Wolfsherz aus meiner Brust!“ „Selbst wenn ich es rauben muss – ich hole dir alles, was du willst!“ Fünf Jahre Glück waren nur eine Illusion. Als ich die Wahrheit erfuhr, löste sich alles in Luft auf. Ich stellte den Antrag, das Rudel zu verlassen. In zwei Tagen würde ich aus Sams Welt verschwinden, für immer, ohne dass sich unsere Wege jemals wieder kreuzen würden.

The hotel called, politely reminding me that the condoms used last night were unpaid and had been charged to my membership card. I was stunned. I'd been working late until midnight and hadn't set foot in any hotel. I confronted my husband, the only person who knew my card code. Nathan Phelps looked at me, bewildered. "Honey, that hotel costs over $10,000 a night. I'd never go there. It's probably a system error. Someone must have mistyped the card number. I'll file a complaint tomorrow." Unconvinced, I called my best friend, who managed the hotel. "Tracy, check who Nathan was with at the hotel last night. I'm catching him red-handed."

Karma led them to each other, it is now up to them if they'll use it to their advantage. Anna Miller had been hurting for years, she didn't know how and why it happened, but it just did. Will destiny heal her or break her more?
