Planet Pluto Menangis

At first, I thought life was so easy but as the years had passed, I realized that life is obnoxious, specially for those poor who pray every day to win in a lottery. Since I was a kid, I already had carried a big responsibility in my arms, sometimes making me question myself whether I was born to live happily or the other way around. My mom and father had a divorce when I was a kid, and unluckily, she made me choose between her and papa. And now, too bad but I regretted nothing. On that day, I chose my dad, and never in million of years would I become jealous to my sister (who had chosen mom) just because she is rich and can buy anything she wants. I was used at buying my only basic needs, securing the rest of my money for future because I know I will still be the only one who can benefit at the end. I was just living peacefully, without having any regrets and doubts, but there is a man named Spencer whose arrogance could reach the planet Jupiter. And I can't deny he got the looks that made everyone to flicker after him. But never in million years would I become fluttered just because of silly and corny jokes from him. But I became tongue-tied for predicting everything. Because I was wrong for judging him like that.

When Evie Crichton comes to Sirius she has no idea how the placement on the planet will change her life. On her first assignment in her new base she meets Ethan Nacher, the chief of a military team stationed near the base. From the very first moment dark handsome Sirian is a mystery that keeps her awake at night. But his behavior is just confusing-one minute it seems he wants to keep his distance and the next he is everywhere she goes. For Ethan Evie Crichton is like an unattainable dream. He loses his head for her the first minute he sees her. But he is just a Sirian soldier put in charge of protecting the Earthian base and he is convinced a beautiful Earthian girl would not ever care to look at him. Unexpected attack on the base forces Ethan to make on the spot decision. He saves Evie from the bombarded base and takes her on a journey through the jungle to his home city. He promises that when they get there he'll help Evie contact another base and return to her people. But will she want to return? On the journey despite her better judgement Evie falls for the handsome soldier more and more every day. However Ethan seems to treat her just as a burden for his team. Was the chemistry that seemed to have been building between them before just in Evie's head? As they face dangers on their way they will both have to face their feelings as well and decide whether they are stronger than reason.

Aku dan Ridho adalah pasangan perjodohan keluarga sejak kecil. Setelah menikah, kami pun hidup saling mencintai. Dalam sebuah insiden, dia bahkan memberikan satu-satunya kesempatan untuk selamat padaku. Setelah Ridho meninggal, kami menemukan sebuah buku harian di antara barang-barang peninggalannya. Di dalamnya, tertulis bahwa selama tiga tahun kehilangan ingatan akibat terjatuh dari tebing, dirinya pernah sangat mencintai seorang perempuan. Namun, mereka dipisahkan secara paksa oleh orang tuanya dan akhirnya menikah denganku. Ternyata, dia diam-diam terus melindungi perempuan itu dari kejauhan selama ini. Saat pemakamannya, ibunya menangis histeris, “Ridho, ini semua salah ibu. Kalau saja ibu mengizinkan kamu menikahi Yolanda, mungkin kamu nggak akan mati!” Ayahnya menatapku penuh amarah,“Dulu dia jatuh dari tebing demi menyelamatkanmu dan sekarang dia juga mengorbankan nyawanya dalam kecelakaan mobil untukmu. Kenapa kamu selalu membawa luka untuknya? Kenapa bukan kamu saja yang mati?!” Iya, kenapa bukan aku …. Aku menatap wajah Ridho yang tersenyum lembut di batu nisannya, lalu membenturkan kepala ke batu nisan itu. Saat membuka mata lagi, aku kembali ke waktu ketika Ridho baru saja dibawa pulang dari desa nelayan. Kali ini, aku memilih untuk merelakannya.

Mengandung unsur 21+. "Lepaskan aku, biarkan aku pergi bersama Key. Aku mohon! Jalani saja kehidupan barumu bersamanya. Anggap saja kami tidak pernah hadir dalam hidupmu." pinta Rachel sambil terus menangis. Tapi Nathan semakin menatapnya dengan tajam, di satu sisi ia merasa tak tega melihat Rachel menangis di hadapannya.Di sisi lain ia juga membenci Rachel karena dengan mudahnya ingin pergi bersama Key, dan meninggalkannya sendiri. "Aku tak akan pernah membiarkanmu kabur kemana pun bersama putriku. Kalian akan selamanya di sisiku. Bukan kah kau sudah berjanji padaku saat itu?" tanya Nathan lagi dengan penuh kemarahan. "Dimana Key? Biarkan aku menemuinya. Tolong bawa Key kesini. Aku ingin bersama putriku." mohon Rachel lagi. "Tidak! Saat ini kau tak bisa menemui Key. Dia sedang menikmati semua hal yang belum pernah aku berikan untuknya sejak ia lahir ke dunia ini. Dia senang berada di sini. Bersama Papi-nya. Apakah kau ingin merusak kebahagiaan putrimu sendiri?" Nathan hanya ingin Rachel tidak meninggalkannya lagi, dia tidak benar-benar serius untuk mengurung dan memberi siksaan kepada Rachel. Bagaimana mungkin ia tega melakukan itu kepada wanita yang sangat dicintainya.

Seberapa besar dulu suamiku mencintaiku? Demi bisa menikahiku, dia melakukan lamaran sampai 99 kali. Pada lamaran ke-100 kalinya, aku akhirnya luluh oleh kegigihannya. Aku pun menjadi Nyonya Wirawan yang membuat semua orang di Kota Haidar iri. Pada hari pernikahan kami, aku memberinya 99 kupon rujukan. Kami berjanji, selama kupon-kupon itu belum habis digunakan, aku akan selalu berada di sisinya. Selama lima tahun pernikahan, setiap kali dia pergi menemani cinta pertamanya, satu kupon rujukan akan terpakai. Saat dia menggunakan kupon rujuk ke-97, suamiku tiba-tiba menyadari bahwa aku telah berubah. Aku tidak lagi menangis atau membuat keributan, juga tidak lagi memintanya untuk tinggal. Ketika dia kehilangan kendali karena sekretarisnya yang sok polos itu, aku diam-diam bertanya padanya, "Kalau kamu pergi menemaninya, bolehkah aku menggunakan satu kupon rujukan?" Pria itu tertegun sejenak, lalu untuk pertama kalinya, hatinya melunak. "Oke, toh baru terpakai 60-an kupon sekian. Kalau kamu mau pakai, pakailah." Aku hanya menggumam pelan, lalu membiarkannya pergi. Dia tidak tahu, bahwa itu adalah kupon rujukan ke-97 yang digunakannya. Dan kupon rujuk kami ... kini hanya tersisa dua lembar terakhir.

The year is 2304 and war has ravaged the world, leaving scattered communities. Keira, a headstrong 25-year-old, has joined the Eagle tribe with the goal of making a difference. Their primary mission is to take back Meraki, a planet that was intended only for the wealthy and privileged. For the past 50 years, raiders seeking riches have taken over Meraki and severed all communication. The Eagle tribe, trained by old war heroes, has been selected to assess the situation and is actively searching for scattered pieces of a space shuttle that was used to travel to Meraki. Keira is one of the few women who joined the force, as most women help out with daily necessities. She has no interest in marriage, but she can't help but react whenever Josh is nearby. Josh, newly appointed as second in command, has a string of women eagerly throwing hints of marriage, and he would stop at nothing to make them sway. His piercing green eyes, sun-kissed blonde hair, dashing dimples, and ripped physique due to excessive training would contribute to the madness. As fate would have it, she found herself crossing paths with Caleb - a master of manipulation with a dashing demeanor. Despite his apparent immunity to emotion, he exuded a commanding presence that was both cold and alluring. There was something dark and mysterious about him that drew her in, and she couldn't help but feel like he had a way of penetrating her guarded thoughts. Meraki is a place for dreams, a meaning to a better future, or maybe where dreams are now scattered by the selfish traits of men for self-gain.

EXCERPT: John freed himself from the security lashes in order to gain more access to Tom. He gripped his friend's waist, squeezing to emphasize how much he was willing to give up for this man. "I can touch you. We can touch. Touch me." Tom searched John's face with his eyes, the flush on his cheeks darkening and capturing John's attention once more. He could feel Tom's uncertainty as if it were a weighted net falling over them both to pin them in place. Summoning his courage, he stripped his tunic from his upper body and seized Tom's hand in his own. "Touch me. Please." John thought Tom was going to refuse until he used his free hand to reach out.

Setelah mendengar kabar dari pasukan bahwa kakak kembar suamiku gugur dalam sebuah misi, kakak ipar yang baru ditinggal suaminya itu sangat terpukul hingga pingsan. Saat sadar kembali, dia kehilangan ingatannya. Tangannya menggenggam erat tangan suamiku dan tidak mau melepaskannya.
