Per Aspera Ad Aspera

Menjelang hari pernikahan, Nando Soman tiba-tiba menjadi korban pemukulan. Saat aku mendengar kabar buruk itu dan buru-buru ke rumah sakit, dia sudah tak mengenaliku lagi. Dokter bilang, kepalanya mengalami benturan hebat, menyebabkan amnesia sementara. Sejak itu, aku mengerahkan segalanya. Kucoba mengajaknya mengunjungi ulang semua tempat penuh kenangan kita, berharap bisa membangkitkan kembali ingatannya. Tapi saat kami kembali ke rumah sakit untuk pemeriksaan, aku tak sengaja mendengar percakapannya dengan teman-temannya. “Rani udah sebaik itu sama kamu, kamu nggak terharu?” “Terharu apanya, aku mau muntah. Setiap hari mutar di tempat yang itu-itu aja, nggak ada hal baru. Cewek-cewek baru malah lebih seru dan bervariasi.” “Kalau gitu kenapa masih mau nikah sama dia? Menurut aku sih, mending batalkan aja tunangannya, hidup lebih bebas.” Tapi dia malah marah besar. “Ngomong apa kamu?! Aku cinta banget sama Rani, mana mungkin aku batalkan pertunangan kami! Aku pasti akan menikahinya! Cuma, waktunya ditunda sedikit.” Saat aku melihat hasil pemeriksaan di tanganku yang menunjukkan semuanya normal, aku baru benar-benar tersadar. Ternyata, memang tak bisa membangunkan orang yang pura-pura tidur.

Sahabat adalah maut. Dia yang aku cintai, ternyata sudah lama menjalin hubungan dengan sahabatku sendiri. Orang paling dekat, yang aku kira paling baik dan paling memahami kondisiku, ternyata dia yang paling jahat. Lihat saja, apa yang akan aku lakukan setelah kalian mempermainkanku.

"Kau pasti sangat bahagia karena besok kau akan bebas, kan?" Dengan kasar Amar mencengkram lengan wanita yang masih berstatus istrinya itu dan menghempaskannya begitu saja di sudut tempat tidur yang tak pernah disentuh olehnya. Entah kemana perginya cinta itu.. setelah menikah semuanya menghilang. Keduanya bak menjadi orang asing yang tinggal satu atap terlebih sikap Amar yang sangat berubah drastis. Begitu dingin. Begitu kasar. Begitu kejam. Besok yang merupakan hari perpisahan mereka dan malam ini menjadi malam pertama sekaligus malam terakhir mereka sebagai suami istri.. Apakah ada sesuatu yang mampu mengetuk pintu hati Amar dan melanjutkan pernikahan mereka?

When I was four months pregnant, my fiance, who was a doctor, left me hanging when we were supposed to get married. This was not the first time; this was the sixteenth time. The first time, his nurse fainted at the sight of blood during an operation, and I waited for him for an entire day at the city hall. The second time, his nurse called, and he left me behind on a viaduct to buy daily necessities for her. Whenever we were about to get married, his nurse would call him for all sorts of problems. The final time was when he told me he was sick. Despite the rain, I rushed to the hospital, only to find that it was his nurse who was sick. He stayed by her side to care for her while he lied to me without batting an eye. At that moment, I began to hate him. I aborted our baby and left. But he chased after me and even traveled out of the country just to apologize.

Book Two: My four brothers raised me from a young age after my parents death. Their friend Grayson had always lived with us, and I hated him.

That all changed, though, when I watched an explicit movie with him, and later found him in the shower pleasuring himself while whispering my name. My brothers will kill him, they may even kill me, but we can't stop ourselves. Something about this been forbidden, makes it so much better.

My husband asked me if bras were more comfortable without underwire, and I was happy that he had finally become more mature. The next day, his assistant snatched the parcel I received in the mail, saying that it had the wrong address. That night, I saw Samantha Davis post on her social media, with the caption, “My boyfriend bought this for me. Isn’t it pretty?” It was a selfie taken in a hotel mirror, and there was a beautifully decorated box containing a bra lying beside her. So, as it turned out, it was not that men became mature later in life, it was that you weren’t the one they were willing to become mature for. Naturally, I gave the post a like and took a screenshot before sending it to my husband. "What a waste. You could have gotten an 20% discount if you bought the whole set."
