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.

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."

"You don't have to love me back. Just be with me for 50 days. After that, I will be gone from your life like I didn't exist at all." *** Adrienne Martinez has been in love with Yvandro Syjuco for God knows how long and she is known for being overly-territorial with him even if he always makes it clear that they are not and will never be an item.

“Are you crying?" She shook her head and wiped at her face as more tears were falling. “I’m so stupid.” she groaned. "Now I am truly and utterly alone. If I had just said yes to marrying him, none of this would’ve happened. I wouldn’t have dragged you into this mess.” Without warning, I turned sharp to the side, putting the car to a sudden stop close to the curb. “Don’t ever say that again. You think marrying a man you don’t love, a man who doesn’t care if he hurts you, just to please your family is the right thing to do?” I turned to her slowly. “That would’ve ruined you.” “But I would’ve had a home to go to, I would’ve been taken care of. Now I have nothing,” she looked away. I reached over and gently took her bruised hand in mine. “You did the hardest thing anyone in your position could have done. You saved yourself. That takes more guts than standing there and pretending to be happy.” I tucked a hair behind her ear. “You think you are alone? You’re not… you have me.” ___ Alina Etienne has always lived a life dictated by her parents.
