Luka Smiling At Booker

Hujan pertama di pembuka Oktober sore itu, ternyata tidak hanya meninggalkan genangan dan sisa sampah yang berserakan. Tetapi juga kenangan mendalam dan sebuah hati yang terserak tak karuan. Sejak sore itu, lepas hujan pertama itu, hati sejoli sahabat berlain jenis itu tidak lagi sama. Ada hati yang dipenuhi bunga-bunga dan secercah mimpi untuk bersama, tapi ada satu hati lagi yang menyimpan sebongkah teka-teki, juga rasa takut kehilangan yang begitu tinggi. Hujan pertama kala itu adalah awal dari segenap rindu, benci, luka, dan hal lain yang tak sempat terselesaikan. Aksara Sendja Nirmala dan Bimasena Langit Permana adalah dua hati yang terbentuk dari sketsa luka dan hujan yang sama. Akankah keduanya bisa kembali melewati hujan bersama lagi tanpa adanya luka dan kecewa?

In those eight terrifying seconds when the plane dropped into darkness, my first thought was how devastated Lucas would be if I never made it to the airport. However, after surviving and landing safely, what greeted me instead…was a photo he shared with his childhood sweetheart, the two of them smiling on a hike. The caption read: [Here's to still being wild with you at sixty.] If it had been before, I probably would have blown up his phone, demanding an explanation and picking a fight. However, then, after brushing so close to death, I just felt… tired.. So I typed out a message: [Let's get a divorce.]

On New Year's Eve, I prepare a feast. The clock strikes twelve, but my husband, Vincent Porter, still isn't home. My daughter, Lorelei Porter, tugs at my sleeve and holds up my phone. "Look Mommy, Daddy is at this lady's house!" Vincent has posted an update on Twitter. He is with Christine Snow, his childhood sweetheart. They are smiling at the camera, with a boy who looks about ten standing between them. In front of them sits a swan-shaped cake. The caption reads, "The most special day for the most special you." My heart sinks into my stomach. A marriage that came later in life can never compete with a pair of childhood sweethearts. I accept defeat.

"Ketika cinta berubah menjadi luka, dan pengorbanan dibalas dengan pengkhianatan. Dini, seorang istri yang berjuang keras demi suami yang ia cintai, terjebak dalam perjanjian dengan majikannya demi biaya pengobatan. Namun, kebenaran yang terungkap menghancurkan dunianya—uang yang ia kirimkan digunakan untuk mahar pernikahan suaminya dengan sahabatnya sendiri. Dibuang oleh keluarga dan suaminya, Dini harus bangkit dari kehancuran. Akankah ia mampu menemukan kembali harga dirinya di tengah luka pengkhianatan ini? Sebuah kisah menyayat hati tentang cinta, pengorbanan, dan kekuatan seorang perempuan."

Kinan percaya lima tahun pernikahan akan jadi rumah yang hangat. Tapi satu kata menghancurkan segalanya: mandul. Tatapan keluarga berubah jadi penghakiman, Isaac—suaminya—berubah jadi asing, dan akhirnya ia memilih perempuan lain demi garis darah. Di tengah luka itu, Kinan menyadari: ia bukan hanya rahim yang gagal. Ia manusia. Ia perempuan. Dan ia harus memilih—bertahan dalam luka, atau bangkit. “Mandul – Cinta yang Dikhianati” adalah kisah cinta, pengkhianatan, dan keberanian perempuan yang akhirnya memilih dirinya sendiri.

I am looking at it right now, not believing what I see. I decided that I would follow the whole wedding far away from them, almost near the exit, just so that I wouldn't have to exchange ideas with any of them. My mother is holding hands with Daud Lestari, the head of that family of thieves and murderers, smiling in her beautiful white wedding dress. Right behind them is Daud's son, Lanton Lestari, that cursed man. My new half-brother. It will take a while, but he will see who is in charge here. I myself will make it a point to hunt down and destroy every single Lestari there, starting with Lanton, or my name is not Lukman Sari.

Kisah cinta antara majikan dan pelayan yang berakhir menyedihkan. Memaksakan diri bersama dengan orang yang tidak tepat hanya akan menyisakan luka

This is the sequel to "Trio of Mates" (can be found on here) and is NOT a stand-alone book. I felt as if I had just fallen asleep when flashes and fragments of dreams began to play through my mind. They are disjointed, speeding through my mind almost too fast to catch. There is Charlie holding two pups in her arms, the pack being attacked on the western front, Arya fallen to her knees sobbing in the middle of a battlefield, funeral pyres, me looking down at my pregnant stomach with Gael and Hakeem smiling down at me, whoops of victory, and wails of defeat. As the images flit through my mind, a voice enters the chaos. “A war of threes. Three deaths. Three victories. Three trios. Three losses. Betrayal. Birth. Death. Sorrow. Joy. Warn them, Meredith. Be prepared!”

Cassandra Morgan thought her exhausting life was finally over. She went to a high end party to celebrate her freedom from her father's debt, but woke up in the next morning in luxurious suite and a handsome man was sleeping soundly. "You." The woman eyed Casandra. “Why are you so pathetic and shameless to bite something that is far from your league.” Cassandra found her phone, the first thing she saw was the text message she received from Rachel. “I sold you off. Sorry.” The man was smiling under the soft and silky duvet. His eyes still closed tight but he heard everything and felt amused by the drama. His back was facing them but his ears were clear as the sky. You awake? fucking asshole?
