Orang Utan Have Strong

Sehari sebelum tahun baru, demi tiga kali upah lembur, kedua orangtuaku meninggalkan aku sendirian di rumah. Aku pikir selama dua puluh tahun ini, mereka selalu begitu. Jadi tahun ini, aku tidak ingin kesepian melewati tahun baru seorang diri. Akhirnya aku membawa Siomay pergi mencari mereka. Namun aku tidak pernah menyangka, kedua orang tuaku yang sering bilang mencari nafkah untuk menghasilkan lebih banyak uang, justru aku memergoki mereka turun dari mobil mewah. Mereka merangkul seorang anak lelaki yang tampak seumuran denganku, masuk ke hotel bintang lima sambil bersenda gurau. “Ayah, Ibu, kalian meninggalkan Nia seorang diri di rumah, nggak masalah? Ibuku berkata dengan datar, “Nggak apa-apa, dia sudah terbiasa kok.” Ayahku berkata dengan acuh tak acuh, “Dia nggak bisa dibandingkan denganmu, kamu adalah buah hati kami.” Aku pun berbalik dan pergi. Mereka pura-pura miskin, untuk menipuku. Kali ini, aku juga tidak berharap ditemani mereka.

Harriet thought the worst thing she’d done this December was surrender to a stranger in a dark room one reckless night that left her shaking, breathless, and certain she’d never see him again. She was wrong. The next morning, she arrives home for Christmas only to learn her parents have rushed off on an emergency trip, leaving her alone to supervise the renovation of their house. Except… she’s not alone. Devon, the boy who grew up in their home like family, the “almost-brother” she hasn’t seen in years, opens the door older now, broader, too handsome for her peace of mind. And when he looks at her, she feels it in her bones. Because he isn’t just Devon. He’s the stranger from last night. The man who took her virginity. The man she swore she’d forget. Now they’re trapped in the same house for the holidays, two people who should never have crossed that line, pretending not to remember the way his hands fit her body, the way she whispered his name without knowing it was his.

Heartbroken, she fled her past, running away from her disowned father and the agonizing pain. She dedicated her life to caring for the "blessings" her ex-fiancé had left behind. But just when Lavender thought she had found a measure of peace, everything starts falling apart again. Forced to reconcile with her ex, Lavender is torn—he is a changed man now, but to her, he remains an enemy. As her bottled-up emotions resurface, past cases reopening, and his persistent efforts to win back her affection intensify, how long can Lavender's hatred last?

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."
