List Pintu Kayu

Sudah cukup lama aku dan pacarku tinggal bersama. Suatu sore, adik pacarku tiba-tiba mengetuk pintu rumahku dan mengatakan ingin tinggal sementara bersama kami. Adik pacarku ini meski lebih muda belasan tahun dari pacarku, namun tubuhnya sudah sangat sintal, wajahnya cantik, matanya yang bening membuatnya tampak seperti seekor kelinci kecil yang polos dan belum mengenal dunia. Saat ia menatapku, bibir mungilnya sedikit terbuka, kemudian dia memanggil dengan pelan, nyaris seperti bisikan, “Kakak ipar…” Entah mengapa, sebuah perasaan asing merambat dari hatiku ke perut bagian bawahku, membuat napasku terasa lebih berat. Malam itu aku dan pacarku terus melakukan hubungan intim, kali ini terasa lebih panas dari biasanya. Namun di tengah keasyikan itu, aku sekilas menoleh ke arah pintu. Di sana berdiri adik pacarku, dia melihat kami berdua dengan pipi merah dan napas yang tidak teratur. Tangannya berada di antara kedua kakinya, terus bergerak di area itu…

She is in Law school. He breaks the Law every day. Her father calls her sunshine. He is called the Overlord of the Bravta. She is pure. He is tainted. They are a match made in hell. *** “There is no going back after you sign this contract,” he tilted my head so I met his sinful smirk and distracting eyes. “After this, you are mine, Sweet little thing. You’ll not be able to run or escape me. Because no matter where you run to, even though I have to turn this world upside down, I will find you and bring you right back to my side because you are bound to me.” I laughed. “Trying to scare me?” I took the pen from him and signed a contract with the Devil. ***** When Julia found out she was dying soon, she decided to do the one thing she had been scared to do all her life before she died. Fall in love. She had her bucket list planned out and all she needed was a heartless man who wouldn’t lose his heart to her in the 6 months she had to live. And Valentino Damon was the right man for the job since she was more than convinced he didn’t own a heart. He was the devil and he might be the most significant risk she might ever take but what does one have to lose if they were going to die soon anyway?

Aku setuju untuk menemani teman masa kecilku, yang mengaku menjadi korban perundungan, untuk pindah sekolah bersama. Namun, tepat sehari sebelum berkas kepindahan disahkan, dia menarik kembali ucapannya. Sahabatnya mencemooh. "Hebat juga kamu. Berpura-pura dirundung sekian lama hanya demi menyingkirkan Deandra." "Tapi dia itu teman masa kecilmu, apa kamu benar-benar tega membiarkannya pergi sendirian ke sekolah asing?" Samanta menjawab dengan nada datar, "Ini cuma sekolah lain di kota yang sama, memangnya sejauh apa sih?" "Lagi pula, aku sudah bosan ditempel terus olehnya setiap hari. Begini lebih baik." Hari itu, aku berdiri di depan pintu untuk waktu yang lama, sebelum akhirnya memutuskan untuk berbalik dan pergi. Hanya saja, pada formulir permohonan pindah sekolah itu, aku mengubah tujuannya. Dari SMA 3 Kota Hakan menjadi sekolah menengah atas di luar negeri, sesuai keinginan orang tuaku. Semua orang lupa bahwa antara aku dan dia, sedari awal memang ibarat awan dan tanah, terpaut jarak yang tak tergapai.

"Kalau kamu sangat membenciku, kenapa kamu berusaha menikahiku, bahkan berjuang mendapatkan hatiku?" tanya Griceliene Albert, putri tunggal keluarga Marques Albert.  Wajah cantiknya kini tampak layu penuh kepedihan, pipinya yang dulu chubby berubah menjadi cekung.  Griceliene, yang dulunya dikenal sebagai wanita tercantik di Kekaisaran Utara, kini bagaikan bunga yang layu hampir mati. Tubuhnya yang kurus seolah tak berdaya tersapu angin.  Hidupnya berubah drastis setelah Kaisar Devone Lorens—yang tak lain paman suaminya—meninggal dunia akibat pemberontakan, dan keluarganya dieksekusi. Yang lebih parah lagi, orang yang mengeksekusi kedua orang tuanya adalah suaminya sendiri, tepat di hadapannya dan di depan seluruh rakyat Kekaisaran Utara.  Duke Camille Lorens membalas pertanyaan istrinya dengan tawa penuh penghinaan. Ia mencengkram dagu Griceliene dengan kasar.  "Artinya kamu kalah, karena aku berhasil merebut hatimu. Griceliene, semua ini baru permulaan. Penderitaanmu yang sesungguhnya akan segera menantimu," ucap Camille sebelum mengunci pintu loteng, tempat Griceliene dikurung selama ini.

Sampai suatu hari ia berada pada pucak lelahnya. Hari dimana seharusnya kami merayakan hari jadi pernikahan kami. Hari dimana pertama kali aku melihatnya marah besar. Karena aku yang meninggalkannya begitu saja di restoran. Pulang kerumah dengan membanting pintu, ia menurunkan kopernya dan berkemas seolah akan benar-benar pergi meninggalkanku. Detik itu juga aku merasa, aku sudah melewati batas. Hingga kesabaran yang tersisa padanya sudah habis karena perlakuanku padanya. Hari-hari setelahnya pun terasa begitu sulit, sebab hanya tersisa kebencian yang ada dalam tatapan matanya padaku. Disaat itu aku mulai merasa takut, aku akan benar-benar kehilangannya dirinya tak lama lagi. Aku coba segala cara untuk mengembalikan semuanya. Kuturuti setiap permintaannya, memohon maaf padanya, sampai berusaha meyakinkan kalau aku masih Bayu yang sama. Bayu yang mencintainya, sangat mencintainya seperti dulu saat pertama kali kami bertemu. Namun semua hal itu rasanya tak cukup. Aku ketahui setelahnya, Diana mengetahui semua kesalahanku, keburukan, dan kelemahanku, satu per satu.

Di malam Jumat Kliwon, keluarga Nara tiba-tiba menerima lamaran dari sebuah keluarga kaya raya. Tanpa alasan yang jelas, mereka mendesak Nara untuk menerima pernikahan itu—seakan-akan nyawanya sendiri bergantung pada hal tersebut. Namun rumah calon suaminya, Raka, bukan rumah biasa. Ada pantangan yang harus ditaati. Ada cermin yang tak boleh dibuka setelah tengah malam. Ada pintu yang tak boleh disentuh saat angin malam berdesir. Dan yang paling mengerikan— ada roh seorang pengantin perempuan yang masih bergentayangan, menuntut pernikahan yang tidak pernah ia dapatkan. Nara mulai dihantui. Ditarik dalam mimpi. Dipanggil dengan namanya. Dicemburui oleh roh yang pernah mencintai Raka… dan mati secara tidak wajar. Namun semakin Nara mencoba menjauh, semakin ia menemukan bahwa Raka pun tidak sepenuhnya manusia bebas. Ia adalah pria yang dikutuk. Dan hanya satu hal yang bisa menghentikan kutukan itu: pengantin yang bersedia menggantikan roh tersebut di dunia gaib. Dua pilihan: Menjadi istri Raka. Atau menjadi pengantin sang roh. Dan ketika cinta mulai tumbuh… pilihan itu menjadi semakin mematikan.

“You need to learn manners, kitten.” I growl, prowling towards her. "Don't call me that, you kidnapper!” She screeches, throwing another bedside lamp at me. “Take another step forward and I'll—” I grab her and bend her over my knee. I twist both of her hands behind her back, despite her struggles and screams. “What are you doing?!” She shrieks. "Teaching you what happens when you act like a spoilt brat.” I yank her dress up to reveal the smooth skin of her ass, and plain white panties. And land a hard slap on it. *** Dymond Hilary's obsessive ex-lover is trying to murder her. It gets too dangerous, so she runs to the next city, Los-Angeles, with nothing to her name.
