Nagisa X Karma

After my 99th failed confession of love to Jim, my parents grounded me for two weeks. "You've embarrassed yourself enough over that illegitimate son from the Larson family," they snapped. "Has he ever even spared you a proper glance?" "Stay home and reflect. We've already arranged your marriage to the Shaw family. The wedding will be in two weeks." However, I didn’t give up. I was so determined to see Jim, no matter what. Only to walk in on him locked in a deep kiss with his precious first love in a private room. "Jim, you really know how to play," one of his friends laughed. "If the Cunningham family's heiress catches you like this, she'll probably lose her mind again." "Seriously, you've turned Ella down so many times, and now that she's grounded, you haven't even sent her a message. Aren't you afraid she'll finally give up on you?" Jim just scoffed with disdain and said calmly, "What's there to be afraid of? Everyone in the capital knows Ella is obsessed with me. Who else would want her but me?" "If I hadn't needed her to get back into the Larson family, I never would've postponed my engagement to Rowena in the first place."

On the Northwind Trail, just before sunrise, my flashlight cut across the inside of the SUV and landed on five lifeless bodies. My hands shook as I dialed 911. "Hello? I'm on Route 296, the Northwind Trail. Everyone in my car… is dead." The operator's voice was calm but quick. "Please confirm your location. Officers are on their way." My words dropped heavy and flat, like stones hitting the ground. "I'm on Route 296, about three miles east of the mountain pass. The plate number is NA318X. Five people inside the car are dead… and I'm the only one alive."

Terjadi kebakaran di TK dan putriku yang berusia empat tahun berada di dalamnya. Aku berulang kali memberi tahu suamiku yang merupakan seorang pemadam kebakaran, "Nea ada di kelas tengah di lantai dua!" Namun, dia dengan kesal berkata, "Aku tahu kamu hanya ingin menghentikanku menyelamatkan putri Stella, bisakah kamu nggak begitu jahat?" "Stella sangat rapuh, aku nggak bisa melihatnya kehilangan putrinya." "Kalau dia kehilangan putrinya, dia pasti nggak ingin hidup lagi!" Malam itu, dia keluar dari gedung yang terbakar sambil memeluk putri wanita pujaan hatinya, Stella Prisa, dan menjadi seorang pahlawan. Saat tengah malam, aku masih memeluk kotak abu putri kami dan menangis sampai pingsan, sedangkan dia tetap menemani Stella. "Haris, aku akan membuatmu menyesal seumur hidup!"

My grandmother only knows how to draw one thing—infants. They're ugly, but people line up to buy the paintings. I watch as she takes those women into unlit rooms. Then, their bloodcurdling screams will ring out. Oddly enough, they always thank my grandmother when they're leaving. One day, I finally find out what exactly my grandmother paints. I discover the truth when I see an infant crawl out of one of the women's bellies—it looks just like the one my grandmother has painted.

I'm my brother's walking blood bank. Mom and Dad keep forcing me to go for blood transfusions to the point that I don't even weigh 80 pounds. Later, my brother's kidney fails. Mom and Dad want to gouge mine out to be transplanted into his body. At the peak of my despair, the thief who sneaks in from the ventilation hood secretly carries me out and helps me escape. He says, "I'm here for you. Don't be scared."

Mi novio fue diagnosticado con cáncer y necesitaba un trasplante de hígado. Cuando supe que yo era compatible, no dudé ni un segundo en aceptar la operación. Me extirparon dos tercios del hígado. El dolor era insoportable, pero en cuanto recuperé la conciencia, corrí a ver cómo estaba él. Frente a la puerta, escuché su conversación con un amigo. —Eres un genio, Javier. Nadie más podría idear una forma de venganza tan cabrona. Javier Morales soltó una risa burlona. —Si no fuera porque no quería armar tanto escándalo, hasta le habría quitado un riñón solo por diversión. —Por su culpa, Elena fracasó en el examen de ingreso a la universidad y tuvo que irse al extranjero. En un mes regresará, y en ese momento me despediré de Lucía para siempre.

Sa ika-limang taon ng pagsasama nina Gwyneth Payne at Asher Crowe, sinabi ni Asher ng tatlong beses na gusto niyang isama si Liana Quayle para mag-migrate. Ibinaba ni Gwyneth ang mga platong kakahanda lang niya at nagtanong kung bakit. Naging prangka siya sa kanya. “Hindi ko na ito gustong itago mula sa iyo. Nakatira si Liana sa katabing residential area natin. Siyam na taon niya akong kasama, at malaki ang utang ko sa kanya. Kailangan ko siyang isama kapag nag-migrate tayo.” Hindi umiyak si Gwyneth o gumawa ng gulo. Sa halip, bumili siya ng ticket para kay Liana sa flight nila. Iniisip ni Asher na sawakas nakakaintindi na siya. Sa araw na nilisan nila ang bansa, pinanood ni Gwyneth si Asher at Liana na sumakay sa flight. Pagkatapos, tumalikod siya at sumakay sa ibang eroplano na dadalhin siya pabalik sa tahanan ng mga magulang niya.

Aku adalah seorang dokter pria spesialis ginekologi. Meskipun sudah berinteraksi dengan banyak wanita, tetanggaku, Teresa Bunanta, merupakan wanita yang paling sempurna di mataku. Diam-diam, aku sering berharap bisa memeriksa tubuhnya ....

Karma is like a boomerang, what you give out would always come back to you. Bullshit. Absolute bullshit. Karma doesn't reciprocate what you give. She just gives. Indifferent to the consequence of her biased distributions. Why else would I be at the receiving end of a punishment I don't warrant? I've been beaten, belittled and my wings were clipped off by the person meant to teach me how to fly. And yet, I can't bring myself to hate those who have wronged me. For I'm nothing but a victim of ill fate and twisted vengeance. But would I ever get what I truly deserve? Or would karma keep being a bitch and forget that she owes me?
