Meja Nurse Station

"CODE BLUE!" shouts the nurse at the emergency room accompanied by a flat-line in the cardiac monitor. Clive Aster arrived in his matte black Audi in his all white coat. Upon hearing the wailing sound of the cardiac monitor, he immediately removed his coat and jumped to the patient's location. "I'll start CPR!" as he jumped to the patient's side and started pumping. "Administer Epinephrine now!" he shouted again. Then the cardiac monitor goes tooot-tooot-tooot. There's a heartbeat! The patient was saved. Clive Aster is a well-known doctor. He has mastered multiple specialties which includes Emergency Medicine, Neuro and Cardiac Surgery. Nobody in the City Hospital knows who he was. He just came in today and rushed to the patient immediately. When the commotion was over, the director of the City Hospital, Celeste Klatt, came in and welcomed him. "Welcome Dr. Aster! Welcome to your new home." Celeste shook Clive's hand and gave him a light kiss on the cheeks. "Parting ways seemed like yesterday, Celeste. It's nice seeing you again." "It's lovely seeing you again too, Clive. Come, follow me to my office." When they entered Celeste's office, Celeste ordered Clive to kiss her to which he abode. "Kiss me! I've missed you!" Clive started to kiss Celeste on her cheeks, then to her lips down to her neck and back to her lips again and he stopped! Slap! Celeste's hand landed on Clive's face. "Who told you to stop?!" Celeste angrily asked. "You never changed Celeste." Clive fixed his face and left Celeste's office.

Setiap malam Natal, pewaris Keluarga Mafia Marsa, Adrian Marsa, harus mengikuti tradisi keluarga, yaitu mengundi sebuah nama untuk menentukan apakah dia diizinkan menikah denganku. Karena aku, Irene Karsa, bukan keturunan mafia. Jika dia tidak menarik kertas undian bertuliskan namaku, dia tidak boleh menjadikanku istrinya. Selama empat tahun, Adrian sudah melakukan undian itu empat kali dan tidak sekali pun namaku yang terambil. Aku selalu mengira dia bertengkar dengan keluarganya karena aku, bahwa dia rela mempertaruhkan posisinya sebagai bos mafia hanya untuk memilihku. Setiap kali dia gagal, dia akan memelukku erat dan berbisik, "Nggak apa-apa. Masih ada tahun depan." Aku mencintainya sampai rasanya menyakitkan. Begitu sakitnya, sampai aku bersedia menunggu ... tahun demi tahun. Tahun ini, aku berkata pada diriku sendiri, "Kalau dia masih juga nggak menarik namaku, aku akan diam-diam menukar hasil undian itu." Aku menyelinap ke depan pintu ruang kerja Adrian, lalu mendengar adik laki-lakinya bertanya, "Bos, setiap tahun sebenarnya kamu menarik nama Irene. Kenapa kamu pura-pura nggak menarik namanya? Apa karena kamu masih belum bisa melepaskan Sera?" Namun, Adrian hanya menjawab dengan suara datar, "Sera membutuhkanku untuk urusan mendesak. Lakukan seperti biasa, tukar nama Irene dengan kertas kosong." Dia pergi tanpa menoleh. Alih-alih menukar, adiknya justru membuang kertas kosong itu ke tempat sampah, meninggalkan kertas bertuliskan namaku di atas meja, lalu bergegas menyusul Adrian. Aku masuk ke dalam. Mengambil kertas kosong dari tempat sampah dan menggantinya dengan kertas yang bertuliskan namaku. Membuang kertas bertuliskan namaku sendiri ke tong sampah. Adrian, aku tidak ingin menunggu dan menikah denganmu lagi. Aku akan memberimu pilihanmu.

Suasana lounge hotel bintang lima itu riuh, namun suara ketawa Rhea adalah yang paling nyaring. Dengan segelas wine di tangan kanan dan gaun hitam yang memamerkan bahu mulusnya, Rhea sedang menjadi pusat perhatian. ​"Kalian tahu kenapa pria suka pakai dasi?" Rhea mengerling nakal ke arah teman-teman kantornya. "Supaya kalau mereka terlalu banyak bicara di ranjang, kita punya pegangan untuk menarik mereka lebih dekat... atau membungkam mereka." ​Ledakan tawa pecah. Pria-pria di meja itu menatap Rhea dengan tatapan lapar sekaligus kagum. Mereka menjuluki Rhea sebagai 'Si Singa'—wanita energik yang bicaranya berani, mesum dalam konteks bercanda, dan seolah-olah sudah khatam urusan ranjang. ​Namun, saat jam menunjukkan pukul sebelas malam, senyum itu memudar begitu Rhea melangkah masuk ke mobilnya. ​Di rumah, suasana hening. Rhea masuk ke kamar, menemukan Gavin sudah menunggunya. Tanpa kata-kata romantis, Gavin menariknya ke tempat tidur. Rhea mencoba membalas, mencoba menjadi 'Singa' yang diinginkan dunia, namun Gavin hanya fokus pada area sensitif Rhea dengan tangannya. Dingin. Terburu-buru. ​Rhea mendesah, namun matanya menatap langit-langit kamar yang kosong. Saat ia hampir mencapai puncak, Gavin menarik tangannya. Pria itu mencium keningnya sekilas—ciuman yang terasa seperti formalitas—lalu berbalik membelakangi Rhea. ​"Mas... tidak bisakah malam ini kita... melakukannya?" bisik Rhea parau. ​"Aku capek, Rhea. Lagipula, bukankah ini sudah cukup membuatmu puas?" jawab Gavin tanpa menoleh. ​Rhea terdiam. Di luar dia adalah predator, tapi di kamar ini, dia hanyalah mangsa yang kelaparan akan kasih sayang yang utuh. Ia tidak tahu, bahwa di balik punggung Gavin, sebuah rahasia besar tersimpan di dalam ponsel yang disembunyikan suaminya di bawah bantal.

Toh kau juga akan mati sebentar lagi, hiks....” Di hadapanku yang divonis sebentar lagi mati karena penyakit kanker, satu-satunya temanku menangis pilu. “Kau, wanita kecil....” Plak. Sebuah tamparan keras mendarat di pipiku hingga membentur cermin meja rias. Aku mati di tangan suamiku sendiri bahkan tanpa bisa memenuhi tenggat waktu sebelum kematianku. Kemudian, aku hidup kembali. “Zahra, istirahat makan siang sudah selesai!” 10 tahun yang lalu, aku terbangun di perusahaan tempatku bekerja. Kehidupan yang lain diberikan setelah kematian diriku. Untuk bisa mengubah takdirku, seseorang harus menggantikan takdirku yang sudah seperti neraka. Aku menjadikan 'seseorang' itu adalah temanku sendiri sebagai pengganti takdir kedidupanku. Temanku, kau menginginkan suamiku.

Sa mundo ng mga mayayaman at makapangyarihan, ang kasal ay hindi palaging tungkol sa pag-ibig. Minsan, isa lang itong kasunduan. Solen Mira Callisto, isang occupational nurse sa Monteverde Lines Inc., ay biglang nabaon sa utang matapos pumanaw ang kanyang ama. Dalawang milyong piso—isang halagang hindi niya kayang bayaran sa loob ng tatlong linggo. Sa gitna ng kanyang desperasyon, dumating ang isang hindi inaasahang alok mula kay Leonidas “Leon” Monteverde, ang matikas pero mailap na COO ng Monteverde Lines. Bilang susunod na tagapagmana ng kanilang shipping empire, may isang kondisyon bago niya makuha ang kumpanyang matagal nang itinakda para sa kanya. Kailangan niyang magpakasal. Isang kasunduan ang nabuo. Isang taon ng pagpapanggap bilang mag-asawa. Walang damdamin, walang komplikasyon. Para kay Leon, ito ay isang kasunduan lang. Para kay Solen, ito ang kanyang tanging paraan para mabawi ang lahat ng nawala sa kanya. Dapat ay simple lang, pero bakit parang hindi lang basta umaarte si Leon? He’s too convincing and too protective. Sa tuwing tatawagin siyang "asawa ko" sa harap ng iba, hindi niya alam kung dapat ba siyang mataranta o kiligin. Unti-unti, nagiging malabo ang linya sa pagitan ng kasunduan at katotohanan. Sa mundo ng kapangyarihan at intriga, paano kung ang isang relasyong nagsimula sa papel… ay mauwi sa isang bagay na totoo?

Being a Vampires pet is a fate no Human wants to endure… I was 6 years old when my parents were killed and I was taken to the pet store. A 6 year old cannot make choices for herself, so why am I punished for something my parents did? This question haunts me. Instead of playing outside with other kids, I was groomed and trained to obey my Master… I was to be the perfect pet. A maid, a sexual partner, a nurse, a blood bag… Anything my Master wanted, that was what I was expected to give. Obedience… That is what the Ringmaster prided herself on with her selection. She didn't get so lucky with me. Madame Vienna and I clashed hardcore. I learned quickly not to speak out of turn, but it didn't stop me from throwing a snarky remark here and there when I felt that I was healed enough to handle another punishment. This may be the only reason I lasted so long without being sold. But my time had come. I was on display for the world to see. Tattered and torn, but it didn't seem to matter to the man with the rose gold eyes who made the Vampires tremble without even saying a single word… What kind of creature was he to cause this type of reaction in an apex predator? I clenched my eyes shut as he brought me to the counter to check out. "Come, Ambrosia." The man purred after a moment. Shaking, I followed him, trying to take in any and every small detail of the outside world… "You can do this. Pretend it's just a bad dream… You know how to survive." I whispered to myself, as I followed my new Master to what was sure to be my death.

Suamiku itu seorang buta arah, bahkan tidak bisa membaca navigasi. Di hari pernikahan pun dia tersesat dan datang terlambat, hingga pernikahan kami harus ditunda tiga hari. Saat hari peringatan pernikahan, dia juga tersesat dan makanan yang sudah kusiapkan di meja pun dingin. Bahkan ketika aku hamil delapan bulan dan terjatuh di kamar mandi sambil meminta tolong, dia memang terdengar panik, tetapi tetap saja tersesat di jalan pulang selama lima tahun. Dia baru sampai setelah aku selesai mengkremasi anak kami di rumah sakit. Aku menjadi murung, dan orang-orang di sekitar mencoba menghiburku. “Otaknya memang bodoh dan tidak bisa mengingat jalan, bukan sengaja datang terlambat. Jangan marah lagi, kalian masih bisa punya anak.” Aku hanya mengangguk dengan linglung. Namun saat dalam perjalanan ke pemakaman anakku, aku baru sadar suamiku tidak memakai sopir dan malah memutar arah menuju rumah asistennya dengan lancar. “Merry, pemakamannya tidak mulai secepat itu. Aku antar Bella ke bandara dulu, dia sedang buru-buru pulang kampung.” Tanpa memberiku kesempatan menolak, mobil itu sudah sampai di depan pintunya. Asisten itu dengan luwes duduk di kursi depan, kata-katanya menusuk hati. “Lihat, aku sudah melatihmu dengan baik. Kalau kamu berani lupa jalan ke rumahku, aku akan menghukummu.” Ketika menyadari keberadaanku di kursi belakang, ia lalu menjulurkan lidah dengan canggung. “Bu Merry, tadi saya hanya bercanda.” Aku menahan diri agar tidak meluapkan emosi. Tetapi setelah mengantar asistennya, suamiku kembali “lupa” jalan ke pemakaman, sehingga upacara tertunda setengah jam. Aku memeluk kotak abu anakku, dan akhirnya benar-benar putus asa. Ternyata, seseorang bisa menjadi pengecualian … hanya saja itu bukan diriku dan anakku.

She stood nervously opposite this grey-eyed delinquent. No matter how hard she tried to avoid him, he was always coming back to her. Her heart skipped the more he leaned closer to her. Her back leaned against his desk as her eyes locked with his. He was something words can't describe. " Why are you scared of me, Ariel?" " I'm not..." She stuttered. She seems to lose her breath at just his sight. " What if I kiss you right now?" That made her heartbeat skipped. They were inches apart and all she could feel was his hot breath against her neck. " I'm not feeling very well." He whispered, trailing his fingertips on the naive brunette. " Why are you telling me this?" " I want you to be my nurse, kiss me till I feel better. Or maybe..." He whispered, leaning closer to her so she could feel him. " Babysit me tonight" *** She's a good girl. She's no different from a boring introvert. She likes to read and stay indoors. One dream she loved was going to Nun school. She was about to take her vows in the convent, but her dream went down the drain when her male best friend stole everything away from her, tearing away her holy garment as he stole her innocence. She hated herself and her family despised her more for making them lose their positions in church. Just when she was picking up her broken self, Bad Boy Billionaire, Gray Carter, walked into her life with his mysteries. ** Under Editing.
