Rain Hujan

I made my way directly to the library with the present I had for Asher all nicely wrapped up, ready to be torn open. I was so excited and nervous at the same time. When I arrived at the library, no one was there. I sat there for a whole 20 minutes waiting for Mr. no show. I felt stupid for thinking he would actually come. I got dolled up for no reason at all. Maybe I’ll still meet my mate today. Then it won’t be for no reason. I got up from the table seat and went into the hall, hearing a lot of whispers regarding my new appearance. Some asking if I’m a new girl, others saying I’m trying too hard and others saying I look drop dead gorgeous. I didn’t know how to feel about myself. As I was wandering around the halls waiting for school to start, a smell hit me like a truck. It filled my lungs and took over my mind. It was the smell of after the rain had fallen. Petrichor. "Mate", I growled. I let the scent lead my feet to where my mate was. I was so excited and my palms are sweaty. It led me to the janitor’s closet and before I opened it I heard a moan. I put my ear to the door and heard shuffling. “Hurry Saige, I smell my mate, I can’t let her meet me like this.” I know that voice my heart skips a beat, fear and anger covers my heart like a blanket. It can’t be. It can’t be. There’s no way.

"It's not me, please believe me." Ashley Patterson stubbornly looked at the people in the car, it was pouring rain, and the car door was wet with rainwater, revealing a cold face. Ashley's whole body trembled. She stood outside the car, one door away, screaming. "Listen to my explanation." The car door suddenly opened. Before Ashley could be happy, a strong force violently pulled her into the car. She fell on top of him, and his white shirt immediately soaked a large area. “Milan Elise, the gangsters who killed Gina were not arranged by me…” As soon as Ashley opened her mouth, a long and strong hand squeezed her chin mercilessly, and from the top of her head came his magnetic voice. "Do you like me that much?" His voice was clear and cold, faintly smelling of cigarettes - a taste that belonged to him. "Huh?" Ashley was a bit confused, she liked him, and the whole world knew. Why does he suddenly ask like that now? The man squeezed Ashley's chin, his other arm was long and strong, and his palm gently touched her cold, wet cheek from the rain. Ashley got lost in his gentle eyes, she seemed to hear this man ask. "Is it cold?" Suddenly, a cold breath radiated from his body. He said coldly: "Ashley, do you like me that much? Like me so much that you would kill Gina?" The coldness from the bottom of his heart immediately spread to her whole body. Ashley immediately woke up and couldn't help but smile bitterly... She immediately thought, how could he give her such gentleness? This is not gentleness but just a devil's smile.

Kisah dimulai pada malam ulang tahun pernikahan keempat Annisa Larasati dan suaminya, Baskara Aditama. Dengan hati berbunga-bunga, Annisa datang ke restoran mewah tempat suaminya berjanji bertemu untuk merayakan hari spesial mereka. Namun, kebahagiaannya seketika hancur saat yang menemuinya bukanlah Baskara, melainkan pengacaranya, Johan Setyawan, yang menyodorkan surat gugatan cerai. Hancur dan bingung, Annisa menolak menandatangani surat itu sebelum berbicara langsung dengan Baskara. Setelah perdebatan sengit dan gertakan cerdas, Annisa berhasil memaksa sang pengacara untuk menelepon Baskara. Percakapan telepon itu menjadi pukulan telak baginya. Dengan nada dingin dan tanpa emosi, Baskara menegaskan alasan perceraian mereka: setelah empat tahun, Annisa gagal memberinya keturunan, yang merupakan tujuan utama dari pernikahan perjodohan mereka. Baskara kemudian menawarkan kompensasi finansial dalam jumlah besar, seolah-olah meremehkan pernikahan mereka sebagai transaksi bisnis belaka. Merasa terhina namun didorong oleh harga diri yang tersisa, Annisa menyetujui perceraian itu. Ia menandatangani surat tersebut dengan satu syarat: semua aset dan uang kompensasi yang diberikan Baskara harus dijual dan ditransfer ke rekening bank rahasianya di Swiss. Ia bersumpah bahwa Baskara tidak akan pernah mendapat kesempatan kedua jika suatu hari ia menyesal. Dengan hati yang hancur, Annisa meninggalkan restoran dan berjalan tanpa tujuan di tengah hujan deras hingga akhirnya pingsan karena kelelahan fisik dan emosional. Ia terbangun di unit gawat darurat sebuah rumah sakit. Saat mencoba mencerna kenyataan pahit bahwa ia kini telah resmi bercerai, dokter yang merawatnya datang membawa sebuah berita yang mengubah segalanya. Dalam sebuah ironi yang tragis, dokter tersebut memberitahunya, "Selamat, Ibu Annisa... Anda hamil."

Sebelum aku berumur delapan belas, aku adalah putri kesayangan Keluarga Mahendra. Semua berubah pada hari ulang tahunku yang kedelapan belas, ketika ayah pulang membawa seorang gadis yatim piatu bernama Karina. "Dia butuh rumah," kata ayah. "Kamu yang akan mengurusnya, seperti adikmu sendiri." Sejak saat itu, semuanya berubah. Kakakku yang dulu begitu memanjakanku, menjadi dingin dan menjauh. Dan tunanganku... seakan cintanya padaku tiba-tiba berkurang setengah. Keluarga memuji Karina karena lembut dan patuh, menyebutnya anak yang jauh lebih baik daripada aku, darah daging mereka sendiri. Setelah berkali-kali tersisih karena Karina, aku akhirnya putus asa dan meraih lengan ayah. "Apakah hubungan darah nggak ada harganya di mata kalian?" Amarah ayah menyala. Ia melindungi Karina yang berlinang air mata di belakangnya, dan di depan setiap anggota keluarga, ia menamparku. "Kamu anak egois. Seandainya aku tak pernah melahirkanmu." "Kamu mempermalukan keluarga ini." Suara saudaraku Martin Mahendra sedingin es. "Pergi!" Dan tunanganku, Vincent Santoso, menatapku penuh kecewa. "Seandainya sejak awal yang bertunangan denganku adalah Karina." Mereka mengira aku akan merangkak di hadapan mereka, seperti biasanya. Tapi aku diam saja, berjalan ke brankas keluarga, mengeluarkan kartu keluarga, dan mencoret namaku dengan satu garis. Aku melepas cincin pertunangan dari jariku dan meletakkannya di atas meja. Aku memberikan Karina segala yang menurut mereka tidak layak kuterima. Bagaimanapun, aku hanya punya beberapa hari lagi untuk hidup. Yang tak mereka sadari adalah kelak, di atas kehancuran Keluarga Mahendra, mereka akan berlutut di bawah hujan, memohon aku kembali.

“We’re sinners. If heaven exists, we’d never be allowed in. But you and I can rule hell together and I’d fuck you hard while we watch the world burn.” His cold lips left a hot trail of heat as it glided down her spine. “O- okay, Daddy.” She stuttered, gripping the sheets tightly and gasping for breath at the same time when fingers suddenly slid into her wet heat from behind. ~~~ She was betrothed to him since birth. Mya knew what was going to happen to her unfortunate life once she comes of age– she was going to be wedded to Angelo, a ruthless and dangerous Mafia Lord who makes the sky rain gore on a good day.

Perhaps, it was because there was something about her blue eyes that scratched at an instinct within him which he never knew existed.
