Ooh Ahh Ahh

“Nate, don't you dare start with that nonsense too. I told you already, I don't care about those ridiculous traditions." Marcel responded irritably as she hopped into the copilot seat of her best friend's car, anxious to get as far away as possible from her home. “Hey, I've known you since you were four, so don't try and act all brave and mature. Tell me the truth, you're afraid aren't you?” “Humph! What's there to be scared of?...” “That Mike's ghost might come back to haunt you." The boy interrupted, carelessly blurting out his analysis, adding…“I just don't get it; everyone else knows his death wasn't your fault…” “I know it wasn't!” “Then why won't you pray for his safe journey into the afterlife? What if his soul is damn to roam the earth, wreaking havoc among the living or even disrupting the balance between the two worlds?” “Ahh! Don't be childish. There is no such thing as the afterlife; parents just use these pathetic excuses to trick their children into believing that our loved ones are better off. If that was the case, why don't we all join them… oh yeah, that's right, we can't commit suicide otherwise we'll go straight to hell. Grow up Nate! The spirit dies with the body.” Follow the journey of a young woman as she tries to keep her sanity when the world around her was quickly crumbling after one faithful night of honoring the dead. Will she be able to save the life of those closest to her? or will her soul be bound to an eternity of madness?

"Apa maksud, Mas. Dia istri kamu! Mas itu suaminya Maira, dia hanya pelakor! Teman yang menusuk dari belakang," ucap Maira dengan suara gemetar. Thania yang mendengar itu hanya tertawa, membuat Maira menoleh mandangnya dengan garang. "Kenapa tatapanmu itu, mau marah, ha? kasian banget sih. Sudahku bilang, kamu itu harusnya menjaga penampilan kalau enggak suamimu bakal cari yang lain, gak dengar sih," lontar Thania. "Mas berani menampar Maira di hadapan jalang itu!" geram Maira. Thania membulatkan matanya, dengan kasar melemparkan bantal kepada Maira. "Aku bukan jalang, Ra! Aku istri suamimu," hardik Thania. "Ahh ... kita liat aja, sampai kapan kamu bertahan. Nanti juga bakal ngemis ke sini, biar kamu ditampung olehku," ujar Reyhan. Maira yang mendengar itu memandang kesal Reyhan, setelah selesai merapikan pakaian. Ia bangkit dan mendekati suaminya. "Aku gak bakal sudi dateng lagi ke sini, mendingan ayo cepat! Talak aku sekarang," seru Maira lantang. Reyhan hendak menampar Maira lagi tapi ia urungkan. Lelaki itu mengepalkan tangan. "Belagu banget ya, oke kalau itu mau kamu. Aku talak kamu, Maira." Mendengar perkataan Reyhan, ia langsung melangkah pergi. Tidak mengatakan sepatah katapun. "Berhenti! Mas akan antar kamu sampe keluar, takut kamu mengambil sesuatu kalau tidak diawasi," seru Reyhan. maira begitu direndahkan, kala sedang sengsara ada seorang pria yang menawarkan diri membantu. apakah lelaki itu tulus hanya ingin membantu atau memiliki maksud lain?

"Saffron, I asked you a question. What happened to your dress?" Atlas asked again like he cared. Why was he calling her name like they were pals? How did he even know her name? This was the first time in seven years that they talked. Atlas isn't one to care about mere workers in the mansion, let alone commit their names to memory. So why her? Ignoring Atlas was not an option, so she parted her lips. "I–" Saffron was about to lie her way through when she caught sight of Caspian walking over. "Talk to me! Did Caspian do this to you?!" Atlas frowned and grabbed her jaw, forcing her to look his way. "How did–" so this was it? Atlas orchestrated last night's incident? He set her up! Now Caspian would think she was involved with Atlas! There's no way for her to prove her innocence anymore... "Ahh!" Saffron cried out loud and moved back with her rear hitting the wall. She slid down slowly until she was sitting on the floor, bawling her eyes out. "I'm just an insignificant Chef who is only here to work, please I beg you, let me live… waaah… I want to live…!" She continued crying as she lamented sorrowfully like she was already having her last minute of life. Caspian walked past without acknowledging any of them with a mere glance. After he ambled out of the corridor, Atlas moved away and glared condescendingly at Saffron, "Don't think too highly of yourself. You've served your purpose. You were a mere pawn." ... Saffron, a Chef who wanted nothing but a simple life, ended up becoming a pawn in a life and death's game for three brothers. However, time will tell if she's a pawn, or the Queen on the chess board.

"Tuan, please bantu aku. pria tua bau tanah itu terus menggangguku!" Ucap seorang wanita sexy yang tiba-tiba duduk dipangkuan seorang lelaki bermata biru dan dominan itu. "Hei dude, dia milikku." suara berat dan dominan itu menginterupsi lelaki tua yang terlihat kesal namun tak berani membantah ucapan lawan yang sangat kuat, sebab dia tahu laki-laki yang sedang memeluk pinggang wanita incarannya adalah penguasa Amerika setelah presiden. -------------------------------------- "Jadi, apa imbalan yang aku dapatkan setelah membantu kucing kecil ini?" "Ooh, aku akan mentraktirmu vodka?" "Bagaimana kalau satu ciuman di lehermu yang menggoda itu, hmm?" "What?!!!"

On Valentine's Day, I set up a candlelit dinner and waited. At 9 PM, my husband, Alfred Johnston, finally texted. [Something came up at work. Don't wait for me.] Then I saw her post. [On a business trip with the CEO for Valentine's Day. Every hotel is fully booked—awkward...] Vivian Bianca, his secretary. Attached was a photo of a guy in a bathrobe, standing by a floor-to-ceiling window. The comments were all 'ooh, CEO's so hot and girl, you're in for a night.' Vivian? Just dropped a smug emoji. So that's what "something came up" meant—a romantic getaway with his secretary. I screenshotted it, posted it on my own feed, and added a smiling emoji. A second later, Alfred called, fuming. "Vivian was joking! Why are you so petty? She's young, not as calculating as you!" I didn't let him finish. "Then let's get a divorce. That way, I won't have to care when you screw around and catch something."

"Mas, aku sangat mencintaimu, tapi aku juga tak ingin melepasnya." Dita berteriak ketika Mas Arman menyentakkan tangannya melepaskan diri dari cengkraman Dita di lengannya. "Ak--aku-- Mas, mengertilah." Aku masih bisa mendengar Dita memelas di balik dinding ini. Sungguh luar biasa wanita itu, batinku. "Kamu, Gila!" Mas Arman balik meneriaki perempuan yang aku tahu sangat dicintainya itu. "Aku tahu. Aku gila, Mas. Aku juga tidak memintamu untuk memaafkanku, tapi aku hanya meminta kamu mengerti perasaanku karena awal dari semua kesalahan ini adalah kamu, Mas. Kamu yang membiarkanku untuk jatuh hati pada lelaki lain, saat harusnya aku memilikimu." Apa maksud Dita? Aku mencoba mendengar dengan seksama dan menempelkan kupingku lebih rapat ke dinding kamar yang menghubungkan kamarku dan Mas Arman. "Aap--pa?" Suara Mas Arman terdengar parau dan menahan kemarahannya. Ooh ... Tuhan, perempuan macam apa yang tega menyakiti lelaki baik hati itu. Lelaki yang sanggup mengorbankan seluruh kehidupannya demi membahagiakan wanita-wanita yang dicintainya. Aku mengurut dadaku yang sesak, mungkinkah aku penyebab keretakan hati mereka? Air mataku menganak sungai di pelupuk mata. Takpernah kubayangkan kehidupan keduanya akan sekacau ini.
