Rosa Quebrada: Ele Segurou Firme

A velha amiga de infância de Valentim Leal, Dalila Travassos, voltou a ocupar o banco do carona. Dessa vez, não fiz escândalo. Fui direto pro banco de trás, sentando ao lado do melhor amigo dele, Guilherme Novaes. Com o carro sacolejando na estrada, meu joelho roçou na coxa firme e tensa do Guilherme. Não tirei. Ele também não se mexeu. Na parada do posto, Dalila arrastou o Valentim pro banheiro. Assim que as portas se fecharam, Guilherme segurou minha nuca e me beijou. Perdida naquele beijo quente e confuso, pensei: Desconfiar dos homens. Entender os homens. Virar um deles. Essa é a grande verdade.

Aku adalah pembunuh paling terampil sekaligus penasihat kepercayaan sang bos mafia, Alexander, dan juga istri rahasianya. Namun, selama lima tahun pernikahan rahasia kami, dia tidak pernah mengizinkan putra kami memanggilnya "Papa". Dia selalu berkata bahwa keluarga-keluarga musuh terus mengawasi kami dan aku serta putra kami adalah satu-satunya kelemahannya. Semua itu, katanya, demi melindungi kami. Aku memercayainya, lalu diam-diam membantunya mengurus seluruh urusan keluarga, sampai cinta pertamanya, Bella, kembali dengan seorang anak laki-laki berusia lima tahun. Dia bahkan memesan seluruh taman bermain hanya untuk mereka berdua bermain seharian. Hari itu adalah ulang tahun putraku. Dia dengan keras kepala menunggu papanya pulang, memeluk kue yang perlahan meleleh di tangannya. Saat itu, harapanku benar-benar hancur. Aku menelepon seseorang dan berkata pelan, "Tolong hapus identitasku dan Leo. Hapus semua informasi tentang kami." Namun, ketika aku dan putraku benar-benar menghilang, bos mafia yang berkuasa itu justru menjadi gila, menyisir seluruh dunia, dan mencari jejak kami tanpa henti ....

I donated 45 million to the city's best kindergarten, but my daughter failed the enrollment interview. She was a polymath. Furious, I demanded an explanation from admissions. She hurled an assessment file at my face. "Your daughter's brilliant, but you're the exact opposite! You're dead last among the parents!" She continued, "The others have tech domes! You're nothing but a regular Ivy League graduate! Your degree's worth about as much as toilet paper!" The other teachers laughed as well. "If we admit her daughter, it's going to look bad on the other kids. She can't take that responsibility." "Yeah, I can't believe she's demanding an explanation from Ms. Johnson. Her husband is the kindergarten's biggest stakeholder. He can make sure her daughter has nowhere to go." The admission teacher shoved me away. With disdain in her eyes, she said, "Out of my sight if you know what's good for you. My husband is picking me up in his Rolls-Royce. His car plate alone is worth more than your life! It's lucky 777! Only one in Georgeport!" Three sevens? That was my husband's car. I laughed mirthlessly and texted my husband. "I had no idea you had another wife behind me."

Eu fui forçada a trocar meu coração com o primeiro amor do meu marido. Depois disso, morri no corredor do hospital particular que ele mesmo criou. Antes de eu morrer, meu filho de seis anos, Otávio Júnior, chorou e implorou a pai dele três vezes. Na primeira vez, Otávio segurou a mão daquele homem e disse que eu estava vomitando sangue. Ele riu com desprezo: — Dessa vez ela finalmente aprendeu algo, até ensinou você a mentir. Em seguida, ele mandou os seguranças expulsarem Otávio do quarto. Na segunda vez, Otávio agarrou a manga de sua camisa e disse que eu estava delirando de dor. Ele franziu a testa: — É só uma troca de coração. Os médicos já disseram que ela não vai morrer. Mais uma vez, os seguranças puxaram Otávio para fora. Na terceira vez, Otávio se jogou no chão, segurou firme a barra da calça dele e chorou dizendo que eu já estava inconsciente. Dessa vez, ele perdeu a paciência. Ele agarrou Otávio pelo pescoço e o jogou para fora do quarto: — Eu já disse que Heloísa Dias não vai morrer. Se você vier aqui incomodar o descanso da Bianca Nunes de novo, eu juro que vou expulsar vocês dois deste hospital. Desesperado para me salvar, Otávio penhorou seu escapulário, algo que ele considerava um tesouro, para uma enfermeira: — Tia, eu não quero viver cem anos. Só quero que minha mamãe continue viva. A enfermeira aceitou o escapulário e se preparou para me transferir para o último quarto disponível. Mas o primeiro amor do meu marido, Bianca, bloqueou a porta com seu cachorro no colo e disse: — Sinto muito, garotinho. Seu pai está preocupado que eu me sinta sozinha sem o meu cachorro. Este quarto foi reservado para meu cachorro.

Emran yang sedang perang dingin denganku mengunggah sebuah postingan di media sosial. [ Seratus orang pertama yang like dapat uang karena aku baru putus! ] Dalam sekejap, sudah ada 99 repost dan like. Aku tahu dia sedang menungguku mengalah, seperti sepuluh kali sebelumnya, memohon padanya untuk menghapus postingan itu. Namun kali ini, aku langsung repost dan memberi komentar. [ Aku juga mau! ] Kemudian, aku memblokir semua kontaknya. Tiga hari kemudian, adiknya mengirim pesan. [ Tiket untuk pertunjukan kelulusan Kak Emran sudah disisakan buat kamu. Katanya asal kamu datang, dia mau memaafkanmu. ] Aku melirik tiket pesawat di atas meja, lalu membalas. [ Nggak sempat. ] Aku memang benar-benar tidak sempat, karena aku lulus seleksi dan diterima sebagai mahasiswa pascasarjana di Universitas Bajira. Malam itu juga, aku akan terbang untuk mendaftar ulang. Sejak saat itu, aku dan dia terpisah ribuan kilometer, tak pernah bertemu lagi.
