Merasa Asing Di Keluarga Sendiri

Synopsis “I loved you with everything I had. I broke down my walls, accepted you completely into my life and heart thinking you were real!” “You showed me utmost care and I forgot myself completely, I forgot how to exist without you, thinking you were f*cking real! But you are so quick to throw me out as soon as your ex arrives? Ethan!” I screamed, my chest constricted with pain, holding the papers in my hand. “100 million dollars Selene, sign the papers.” He muttered, his voice light as if I meant nothing to him after all these years. My eyes welled up with tears as I looked at the papers again. The word divorce written boldly on it, crushing my heart into several pieces. “Ethan?” I muttered once again, my tone vulnerable. “150 million..” He added. My leg wobbled.

He's about to find out he was wrong about everything. And by the time he realizes the truth? It might be too late to win me back.

“Nova please, I beg of you. I will do anything to gain your forgiveness”. Zephyr begged as he used his hands to brush his hair desperately. “Forgiveness?” Nova asked with widened eyes and a surprised smirk. You said you didn't want anything to do with me. “I.. I didn't know what I was saying, baby. I need you in my life”. He replied. “No.. Nova interrupted before he could even speak further. You have no fucking right to come back into my life”. Her voice raised and her face turned red as she gritted her teeth. “Go back to your mistress”. She directed angrily, and just so you know, I am with eryx now.

"Zeke, was I just a substitute?" I asked, my voice trembling. "All these years, was I nothing but a replacement?" But then again, he remained silent. And I took that as a 'yes' to my questions.

Aku membuat janji pergi ke festival musik bersama sahabatku. Tapi kekasih kakakku mengunciku di toilet. "Anak gadis zaman sekarang nggak punya malu. Merasa nggak berdosa menggoda pacar orang lain!" "Aku akan memberimu pelajaran hari ini. Orang tuamu sendiri gagal mendidikmu, jadi biar kubantu mereka!" Dia tidak mendengarkan penjelasanku dan menyiramkan air pel toilet dari atas kepalaku. Dia menamparku di depan umum, melucuti pakaianku, dan menggunakan solder panas untuk menuliskan kata-kata "Simpanan Murahan" di tubuhku. Saat kakakku tiba, wajahku tidak dapat dikenali lagi karena parahnya siksaan mereka. "Calvin, tolong dengarkan penjelasanku. Sumpah, kukira dia cuma "adik ketemu besar", bukan adik kandungmu!"

Adik iparku, Gina, bersikeras ingin berlibur ke Pantai Nirwana saat Natal, jadi aku memutuskan untuk mengajak seluruh keluarga pergi berlibur bersama. Namun, saat teman wanita suamiku mengetahui tentang rencana tersebut, dia memaksa untuk ikut dan membawa anaknya juga. Tanpa basa-basi, suamiku langsung membeli tiket pesawat. Namun, dia malah menyuruhku membawa barang-barang dan mengemudi sendiri ke sana. Semula, aku mengira seluruh keluarga akan mendukungku, tetapi ternyata mereka semua mendukung keputusan suamiku. Baiklah. Kalau begitu, kita urus urusan masing-masing saja. Namun, mereka semua menjadi ketakutan.

Anak keluarga kaya yang memperkosa putriku dibebaskan. Dia melemparkan segepok uang ke wajahku dan menghina, "Aku akan membuatmu melihat bahwa uang bisa membeli segalanya!" Saat itu juga, aku sangat ingin membunuhnya.

Di acara perayaan hari keluarga taman kanak-kanak, suamiku Gaius beralasan ada urusan kantor dan bahkan menyuruhku dan putri kami untuk tidak ikut menghadirinya. Melihat wajah kecewa putriku, hatiku terasa sakit. Akhirnya, aku memutuskan untuk pergi sendiri bersamanya. Saat baru sampai di taman kanak-kanak, aku melihat Gaius sedang menggendong seorang anak laki-laki di satu tangan, sementara tangan lainnya menggandeng Sunlina, teman masa kecilnya. Mereka terlihat seperti keluarga kecil yang bahagia, berbincang dan tertawa bersama dengan akrab. Saat melihat diriku dan putri kami, Gaius mengerutkan dahi, lalu buru-buru melepaskan tangan Sunlina. "Jangan salah paham, Yuri. Sunlina itu ibu tunggal dan membesarkan anaknya sendirian. Hari ini ulang tahun anaknya yang kelima, jadi dia hanya ingin anaknya merasakan kasih sayang seorang ayah." Aku menatapnya dengan tatapan penuh arti, lalu berjongkok dan menggenggam tangan putriku, berkata, "Sayang, ayo panggil om."

Kakakku adalah kesayangan keluarga. Novelku meledak dan viral, sementara kakak perempuanku dengan mata berkaca-kaca berkata bahwa dia juga ingin menjadi penulis terkenal. Kakak laki-lakiku yang merupakan editorku langsung mengatakan bahwa aku mencuri karya kakakku di acara tanda tangan buku. Akhirnya, kakak perempuanku menjadi penulis jenius, sementara aku menjadi korban perundungan di media sosial sampai tidak berani keluar rumah. Setelah menikah dengan pewaris terkenal di Kota Bet, kami sangat bahagia, tetapi kakakku mengatakan bahwa dia sudah menyukai suamiku bertahun-tahun dan hanya ingin menjadi pengantinnya seumur hidup ini. Pria itu tanpa ragu bercerai denganku dan mengadakan pernikahan megah dengan kakakku. Keluargaku takut akan merusak hubungan mereka, jadi mereka mereka mengusirku ke luar negeri. Kakakku bahkan merasa aku belum cukup menderita, lalu mengejarku dan mendorongku dari tangga. Aku terjatuh di genangan darah, sementara ibuku masih menyalahkanku, “Apa lagi yang kamu katakan sampai membuat kakakmu tersinggung?” Aku mati dalam keputusasaan. Ketika aku membuka mata lagi, aku sudah kembali ke hari di mana kakakku menuduhku mencuri.
