Said Kelana

Lana atau Kelana Pranandani adalah seorang perempuan urban berusia 20-an awal yang berprofesi sebagai penulis. Ia memiliki phobia terhadap komitmen atas sebab yang ia tak pernah benar-benar ketahui selain karena trauma perceraian kedua orangtuanya di masa kecil. Berkuliah hingga lulus dan bekerja

Tak ada yang benar-benar tahu tentang masa depan, setiap detik yang kita perhitungkan bisa saja salah dan berubah, kisah ini dimulai dari sebuah desa kecil di pesisir selatan Provinsi Banten, di bagian bawah peta. Berpusat di kehidupan seorang Antariksha Bumisakti, yang merasa dipermainkan oleh takdir karena telah ditarik paksa ke dalam pertemuan yang tak pernah ia minta, pertemuan dengan seseorang yang pernah menjadi tokoh utama di beberapa halaman buku kehidupannya. Kisah ini adalah penggalan dari masa lalu Arsha, panggilannya. Tujuh tahun lalu, saat ia baru menginjak usia delapan belas tahun, ia mendapat pemberitahuan dari sang ayah, bahwa akan ada seseorang yang datang dan tinggal di rumah mereka, seorang perempuan anak dari sahabat ayahnya yang akan berkuliah di tempat yang sama dengan Arsha. "Tugasmu nanti jagain dia ya, Sha," pinta Ayahnya. Arsha hanya bisa mengiyakan, lagipula membiarkan satu orang asing tinggal di rumahnya bukanlah masalah yang berarti baginya. Setidaknya itulah yang ada di pikirannya, sampai semua ekspektasinya berubah ketika orang itu tiba, seorang perempuan yang tidak hanya datang ke rumah Arsha, namun juga memaksa masuk ke dalam kehidupannya, sebagai tokoh baru yang tak pernah Arsha minta. Sialnya, sang tokoh baru bukanlah seseorang yang mudah untuk dipahami, ia membawa perubahan besar yang tidak pernah Arsha antisipasi.

Tubuh yang ringkih dan struktur tulang yang tidak memungkin untuk mampu menyerap ilmu Kanuragan membuat Jagat sering dihina bahkan dianiya oleh beberapa murid di padepokan Pandan Alas.

Apa yang terjadi dengan Jagat dan cahaya apa yang memendar dari tubuhnya?

After five years of marriage, I received a wedding invitation from abroad. The groom is my husband, Arnold Willowstream. The bride is my younger sister, Yasmine Cooper. In disbelief, I decide to fly to Ainland and witness the wedding for myself. But the moment I see Arnold holding Yasmine and kissing her deeply, my heart shatters completely. Fireworks explode in the sky, and glowing words appear above—"Happy Marriage, Mr. Willowstream and Ms. Yasmine." In that instant, it feels like a blade piercing straight through my chest. Watching them look so happy together, I feel like I'm the one intruding on someone else's marriage. Love is a game for two—there's no room for a third. If he's already gotten married to someone else, what place do I have left in his life? Rather than waiting to be pushed out, I choose to walk away on my own and at least keep the last shred of dignity.

Seven days before our wedding, Danny Wagner—my childhood sweetheart—got down on one knee for Mia Kant, the broke girl he'd been sponsoring. Right in front of me and his buddies. I didn't cry. Didn't lose it. Just slapped a smile on my face and said, "Wishing you two a lifetime of happiness." His buddies? Oh, they had the nerve to tell me to be generous and let Danny help Mia finish her "wish list." Danny, unsatisfied and ticked off, said I was overreacting and demanded an apology. Dismissive, he sneered, "I said I'd marry you after Mia's wish list was done. Stop being so unreasonable." I knew this was the last item on her list. I opened my notes app, scrolled to my wish list, and deleted all thirty-three bullet points. Done. Then I made a call. "I'm willing to marry you."

Jess and her boyfriend spends the evening in a library arguing with a stranger if vampires and werewolves were real. Apparently, Jess believes they are real while her boyfriend and the other guy believes they aren't. The night is far spent so Jess and her boyfriend decides to retire to their home. They had walked quite a distance when Jess remembered that they didn't have the boy's contact. Determined to prove him wrong in future by a research she planned on carrying out about werewolves later on, Jess goes back to the library in search of him, despite her boyfriend's disapproval. Jess is shocked to find the boy who had argued all night with her that werewolves do not exist, transform into a werewolf. Apparently, it was the full moon and he came out at the wrong time. The wolf grabbed her before she could escape; At that moment, her life took a drastic turn, that she would have never imagined. A werewolf said: Werewolves are not real.

Selina Vanderbilt was raised for one destiny—to become a Luna. Groomed into perfection, she believed her future was secure until everything crumbled on her wedding day. In front of her entire pack, her fated mate, Alpha Matteo, uttered the words that shattered her world: he rejected her. Humiliated and heartbroken, Selina is swept into chaos as war erupts between rival packs. Forced to flee, she escapes into the human world, where no one knows her name, her lineage, or the pain she carries. There, she tries to live an ordinary life, far from the chains of duty and expectation. But even as she hides, her heart aches for the family she left behind—and for the Alpha who broke it. Because rejection was never the end. When fate draws Selina and Matteo back into each other’s lives, old wounds resurface, but so does the bond that never truly died. Amidst the threat of war, betrayal, and forbidden longing, they will be forced to face not only their past, but the love that still burns between them. This time, will the Alpha say yes?

I built my wife’s family business from the ground up, sacrificing everything so that her world could thrive. The night I collapsed from stomach bleeding after too many business drinks, she was out laughing with her childhood sweetheart. She even had the nerve to call me dull and uptight. I smiled when I finally handed her the divorce papers. “I wish you both a happy life together.” But instead of signing it, she tore it to pieces, tears in her eyes. “I’m not letting you go,” she said.

“I Do” hearing those two words coming from him breaks my heart into million pieces again. I lost him forever. Everything is happening infront of me. I closed my eyes and started thinking about our memories and trying to forget them forever. Then we heard “No!” shocking each and one of us. But who cares, He said “I Do”…

For over thirty years, my wife Janet faked being broke—for her flimsy ex. When our son Asher landed in the hospital, I begged and borrowed from everyone I knew. Still came up fifty bucks short. Janet? Said she was tapped out. So my mom sold off her own meds to cover the bill—never told me. She died without treatment. I handled my mom's funeral alone. When I went to pick up Asher from the hospital, I found a stash of Janet's old shopping receipts. Custom suits. Million-dollar watches. A damn private jet. I grabbed them and stormed off to confront her. Asher cut me off. "Dad, Mr. Sackett's sick. Mom's just helping him out. Why are you freaking out?" I stared at the kid who only lived because my mom died. It felt like something cracked inside me. Janet barely looked up. "Connor's educated. He deserves the finer things. Unlike you—crying over fifty bucks like some househusband. See? I didn't give you the money, and Asher's fine." Fine. If that's how they see it, I'm done with this family.
