Payung Teduh Album

Pada hari ulang tahun pernikahan kami yang kelima, aku menemukan sebuah ponsel lama di dalam brankas Raditya. Kata sandinya adalah tanggal lahir cinta pertamanya. Di dalamnya tersimpan semua kenangan manis masa lalu mereka. Sementara di album fotonya yang sekarang, bahkan tidak ada fotoku satu pun. "Aliyah, memangnya menarik mengintip privasi orang lain?" Aku menoleh menatap pria yang berdiri di luar pintu. Aku tidak bertengkar dan tidak membuat keributan. Aku hanya berkata dengan tenang, "Kita cerai saja." Raditya memformat ponsel itu tepat di hadapanku, ekspresinya dingin hingga tak terbaca emosi apa pun. "Sekarang sudah cukup?" tanyanya padaku. "Masih mau cerai?" Aku mengangguk dengan sungguh-sungguh. "Ya."

Vice and Victor have a plan. Five years in the spotlight to make their fortune, then move into the background, with their own record label. Fast and smart is their motto. Romance will have to wait, especially since their idea of an ideal romance, involves both of them and one woman. When their manager, Aaron, asks them to collaborate with a chart-topping popstar who wants to gravitate into rock, they are dubious. A frequent flyer in the gossip columns over the last twelve months with a history of drug and alcohol problems, they fear she will be difficult and volatile to work with. After being roofied by her music producer, Mirage has learnt the hard way that it is not an equal world. Without proof, she cannot pursue legal recourse, and she is locked into completing another album with her rapist. Meanwhile, Mr Rich has been feeding the industry lies about her having dependency on alcohol and drugs, and the gossip mags have seized upon the stories, slowly tearing her professional reputation into pieces. But Mirage is not a fragile damsel in distress, she is a pop-rock chick, and she is fighting back.

When I was 18 years old, Luigi Conti, the craziest heir of the Conti family, pulled out a gun at an auction and executed the Don of the Serra family. That man happened to be my foster father, also the one who had me auctioned away as though I were a slave. When he was being dragged toward the armored car by the military police, he kept laughing like mad despite having blood streaking down his face. "Why must I atone for my sins? Since God refuses to save you, let me be your savior! From now on, no one in Sandalay has the guts to clip your wings anymore, my darling Isabella!" Seven years later, Luigi gets released from prison. He looks at me as I wash dishes for a living in the slums before snuffing out the cigar trapped between his fingers. That night, Luigi returns to his family and steals the position of the Don. After we get married, I'm the only person who has the highest access over the vaults under the Conti family. Luigi even forcibly expands the ring that signifies ultimate authority—which has been passed down from generation to generation for a century—and slides it onto my ring finger. He buys half of Sandalay's estates just so he can fill the vineyards with the white grapes I've mentioned in passing. He tells me that his turf is called Isabella. But everything changes when I discover a photo album stashed in a hidden compartment in Luigi's study. All 2,000 photos feature a young woman in a white dress who is reading in the library. That is the female assassin he's planning on training. The woman looks very pure and innocent. She's most suited to conquer certain bigwigs' hearts. But now, it seems that Luigi's the one being conquered by her. When Luigi finds out about my discovery, he throws the photo album into the fireplace and watches it burn in the fire with a stony expression. "I'm just repackaging her so that she can aid me in money laundering. Just pretend you never saw the photo album." I push the signed divorce agreement over to Luigi. "I said, sign the agreement." Frustrated, Luigi pins the divorce agreement on the table with a knife, his expression insanely dark. "Isabella Serra, have you forgotten about the Conti family's rules? There's no such thing as divorce. We can only be widowed."

Setelah berhubungan gelap selama tujuh tahun, Daniel Liman berencana untuk melamarku pada hari perilisan resmi album ulang tahunnya. Pada saat acara ulang tahun, Daniel malah secara terbuka mengundang komposer bernama Yuna Fadian untuk bekerja sama dengannya. Aku mengikuti Daniel untuk meminta penjelasan darinya, tetapi malah mendengar suara senda gurau mereka dari luar ruang istirahat. “Niel, kamu cukup setia sama cinta pertamamu. Begitu dia pulang, kamu pun nggak sabaran mau kerja sama dengannya. Hanya saja, gimana rencanamu untuk mengatasi putri dari Keluarga Luandra itu? Dia sudah menulis begitu banyak hasil karya buat kamu. Apa dia bisa menerima hasil akhir ini?” Beberapa saat kemudian, seseorang berkata dengan tersenyum, “Sejak awal, Nadya hanyalah pengganti yang dicari Niel saja. Sekarang, tokoh utama sudah kembali. Sudah seharusnya si pengganti kembali ke asalnya. Gimana menurutmu, Niel?” Selanjutnya, terdengar suara “emm” ringan.

After dating in secret for seven years, Mitchell Zahn decides to propose to me on the day his birthday album is officially released. But during the birthday party, he publicly invites Isabella Claxton, a composer and my sister, to work with him. I follow Mitchell to ask him for an explanation. That's when I hear him and his friends chatting and joking inside the lounge. "You're so loyal to your first love, Mitchie. You couldn't wait to ask her to work with you upon her return. What are you going to do about Gabriella, though? Will she accept how your relationship ends when she's written so many songs for you?" After a moment, another person laughs and says, "To Mitchie, Gabriella has always been a replacement for Isabella. Now that Isabella is back, her replacement has to go. Don't you agree, Mitchie?" I wait for a long time before hearing a soft sound of agreement.

His songs were better when he had a broken heart. That sentence would change my life after my dream job was dished to me on a shiny, silver platter. All I had to do? Hurt Nash Pierce enough to get him writing good music again. The pop icon’s songs were no longer the phenomena they used to be. His team needed another breakthrough album—like the first he’d penned, using his heartbreak as fuel. The plan was simple: I’d go on tour with him as a backup dancer…and make him fall in love with me. I was hired to inspire—to become embedded into every lyric he wrote. Then, I was to set fire to it all—to destroy every feeling we hoped he’d develop for me. It seemed simple enough. Easy, even. I didn’t expect to be consumed myself—to see so much in the man displayed in the tabloids. I didn’t foresee falling for him. It didn’t occur to me that, while attempting to break his heart, I might just shatter my own. Most of all, I never thought I’d fight so hard to hold on to a relationship that had always been founded on goodbye.
