List Pintu Kayu

Maira, mahasiswi riset berusia dua puluh lima tahun, mengira tugas lapangannya di Abu Dhabi hanya akan berupa wawancara dan observasi budaya. Namun segalanya berubah ketika ia ditempatkan langsung di bawah pengawasan Wisnutama Adnan Bin Malik- seorang diplomat yang dikenal disiplin, nyaris tanpa emosi, dan memiliki reputasi berbahaya yang jarang dibicarakan secara terbuka. Perjumpaan pertama mereka membuat Maira sadar satu hal bahwa pria ini bukan tipe yang bisa ditebak atau dilawan. Terlambat satu menit saja, Wisnutama menatapnya seolah ia sudah melakukan kesalahan fatal. Terlambat satu detik pun, ia mengucapkan kata hukuman tanpa berkedip. Maira tidak tahu apakah ia sedang diuji, atau sedang ditarik masuk ke dunia kerja Wisnutama yang dingin, tajam, dan teratur seperti garis map diplomatik. Namun yang tidak pernah ia duga, semakin lama ia bekerja di dekatnya, semakin jelas bahwa pria itu tidak sesederhana atau sesuci yang terlihat. Dan ketika Maira mulai menyadari bahwa dosennya menghilang tanpa jejak, penempatannya terasa janggal, dan Wisnutama terlalu tahu banyak tentang dirinya. Di antara koridor kantor diplomatik, ruangan kaca gelap lantai delapan belas, dan tatapan yang selalu menguji, Maira harus memutuskan. Melarikan diri atau mengikuti pria itu lebih jauh, meski ia tahu Wisnutama punya cara tersendiri untuk menahan siapa pun yang menarik perhatian.

Si Yelena ay nanggaling sa isang konserbatibong pamilya. Lahat ng kilos niya ay dapat naaayon sa panuntunan- dapat laging lagpas-tuhod ang mga isusuot niya; dapat diretso bahay siya pagkagaling sa eskwela; bawal ang bisyo, gala, boyfriend o pagpapaligaw- aral lang. Masaya siya; oo, noon. Pero habang lumilipas ang panahon, unti-unti na siyang nasasakal. Maraming bagay ang hindi pa niya nagagawa.

Isang taong ni sa hinagap ay hindi akalain ni Yelena na darating sa buhay niya.

On my wedding day, my fiancé bailed. Sabina—his ex—had sent him a diary listing 77 things she'd done for him. Turns out she only dumped him because his family pushed her to. So, he ran back to her. While I was still reeling, Jacob—my fiancé's best friend—showed up. He got down on one knee, flashed a ring he'd clearly had ready, and said, "Yuna Auclair, I've liked you for a long time. Will you marry me?" I thought he was my person. But after the wedding, Jacob turned distant. Hot one second, ice-cold the next. Then I found a diary in his study. Just like the one Sabina had sent my ex. Page one hit like a truck: [Hurt Yuna Auclair seventy-seven times, and I'll break up with Gabriel and be with you.] Oh—and Gabriel? He was my ex.

Di sebuah desa di Jawa Tengah, tersembunyi sebuah curug (air terjun) kembar yang indah, menjadi surga wisata bagi warga sekitar. Airnya jernih, kolamnya dalam dan tenang, dikelilingi oleh perkebunan karet dan hutan kecil yang lebat. Setiap hari Minggu dan hari libur, tempat ini selalu ramai. Anak-anak berenang, keluarga piknik, remaja nongkrong sambil selfie. Namun di balik keindahan itu, Curug Kembar menyimpan misteri tua: sebuah pohon karet yang mengeluarkan darah jika disadap, dan pohon dadap besar yang diyakini menjadi tempat bersemayam pusaka gaib: besi kuning. Warga percaya, pusaka itu adalah penjaga keseimbangan antara dunia manusia dan dunia gaib di sekitar Curug Kembar. Tapi ketenangan itu hancur saat seseorang, demi pesugihan, nekat mengambil besi kuning dari akar pohon dadap. Setelah pusaka itu diambil, kejadian-kejadian mengerikan mulai terjadi: orang kerasukan, penampakan sosok wajah merah, suara gamelan saat hujan turun, bahkan ada yang menghilang setelah masuk hutan. Puncaknya, saat hujan deras turun selama berhari-hari, tanah di atas curug longsor, menimbun kolam di bawahnya dan menyapu habis tempat rekreasi tersebut. Kini, Curug Kembar ditinggalkan. Tak ada lagi yang berani datang. Warga percaya gerbang dunia lain telah terbuka. Dan sesuatu... telah lepas dari dalamnya.
