Sad Thoughts

Cinta itu sederhana, tapi kadang dunia yang membuatnya rumit. Nura, seorang gadis berhijab yang lembut dan penuh kasih, jatuh cinta pada Arthur—lelaki yang selama ini selalu ada untuknya. Perhatian kecil, tawa bersama, dan doa-doa dalam diam membuat hati mereka saling tertaut. Namun, satu hal yang tak bisa mereka lawan: perbedaan keyakinan. Hubungan yang mereka bangun dengan tulus, justru menjadi luka ketika keluarga mulai menentang. Nura dihadapkan pada pilihan antara mencintai Arthur atau menjaga restu orang tua dan agamanya. Arthur pun terjebak dalam dilema, antara memperjuangkan Nura atau merelakan demi kebahagiaan gadis yang ia cintai. Di bawah derasnya hujan, mereka pernah berjanji untuk tetap bersama. Tapi akankah cinta mampu bertahan jika restu tak pernah diberikan? “Hati yang Tak Direstui” adalah kisah tentang cinta yang indah, tapi penuh luka—tentang ikhlas, doa, dan keberanian untuk melepaskan demi kebaikan yang lebih besar.

When I opened my eyes, I found myself supposedly transmigrated to some ancient era. Every morning, before light touched the sky, someone would yank me out of bed to haul trash, chop wood, and do whatever filthiest job needed doing. Somehow, I'd become the lowest-ranked servant in the entire estate. The estate lord's son would climb onto my back and ride me around the courtyard like some pet he was proud to show off. Anyone in the household could hit me, kick me, or shove me aside, and not a single soul would speak up. Five years passed like that, so awful that I almost lost my mind, as if I were living in hell. Then one day, a group of servants cornered me. They didn't bother hiding their intention. The moment I saw their faces, I knew I was in trouble. Fists flew, boots landed, and everything blurred. Just before I passed out, I heard them whispering, "We're going to kill him if we keep this up." "Come on. This place only looks like some old noble estate. It's not an actual one. If he dies here, we're the ones who'll get dragged to court!" "Relax. Ms. Shaw will handle it. The idiot pissed off her childhood sweetheart. Getting tricked into this place is exactly what he deserves." Fear swallowed everything, and the world went dark. When I woke again, the lady of the house had conveniently "returned from visiting her family." The lord threw a grand celebration with tables full of food, wine flowing, and musicians playing like nothing had happened. I carried dishes into the banquet hall and lifted my head. Her face was the same as my wife's, Melissa Shaw. I set the final dish down, stepped closer, and in a voice only she could hear, asked, "Ma'am… are you enjoying your little game?"

When I learned that the villain was a merman who dropped pearls whenever he cried, I took out the discarded pregnancy test stick from the trash can and headed toward the rooftop. "Well, how many babies do you merfolk have in one pregnancy? Do they eat fish food or baby formula?" Theo Atwater, who was attempting suicide, slipped and almost fell from the 18th floor. I shook my head with a sigh. "Forget it. I'll just throw the baby into the sea after giving birth." Later, when the baby was born, Theo was too scared to sleep, fearing that I would release the baby into the sea. When the female lead, Melody Carlisle, and the male lead, Reagan York, were arguing and came to see us, he was looking at our baby’s swimming results and roaring, "You're one of us merfolk. How could you be afraid of water?"

My name is Violet. I was the consigliere to the Leon mafia family in New York, and I wrote the rules of this city’s underworld myself. Yet, the man I had kept by my side for ten years, Drake Leon, was now trampling all over them. Ten years was more than enough time for a stray dog to grow into a wolf that can stand on its own. A decade ago, he was hacked to pieces by enemies on the streets of Brooklyn. Covered in blood, he crawled to me like a dying dog. I took him in. I put a gun in his hand. I taught him the rules of the mafia. Step by step, using my position as the Leon mafia family’s consigliere, I groomed him to become the boss of the Manhattan port district. Ten years later, he controlled the most valuable port under the Leon family for me, and for another woman, he framed her in standing grace. When that girl named Lina showed up pregnant, wearing the blue diamond necklace my mother left me, and sat in the seat that was supposed to be mine, I didn’t lose my temper. Instead, I had someone take the pathology report from the hospital, along with the child, seal them in a gift box, and deliver them to Drake’s new estate. Half an hour later, the study door was kicked open. He stormed in, drenched in night rain, carrying the scent of gunpowder. The barrel of his gun pressed straight against my forehead. “Violet.” He stared at me, his eyes bloodshot. “You touch her child, and I’ll make sure you’re buried with her.” I stayed seated by the fireplace. I didn’t move. I simply pushed a document to the center of the table. “Don’t rush into madness.” I looked up at him and continued, “As of fifteen minutes ago, I’ve frozen three warehouses under your name, two shipping routes, and seven offshore accounts.” Only then did his expression finally change. I smiled faintly, my voice soft. “Drake, you seem to have forgotten something. The reason for your accomplishments today isn’t because you know how to pull a trigger. It’s because I allowed you to live.”

[Mandiri itu berdiri di atas kaki sendiri, ya. Bukan malak saudara sendiri!] Demi Allah, sebagai sesama anak sulung, aku dan Mas Farhan ikhlas menanggung kehidupan adik-adik kami selama ini.

Sakitnya lagi, adik dan adik ipar kami itu membalas pesan kami dengan nyinyir, baik di whatsapp dan di facebook. Tapi, aku tahu kami harus bangkit untuk membuktikan kami bukan tipe yang akan memalak saudara kami sendiri, seperti tuduhan kejam itu.
