Sakura Kecil

At the factory, my arm is pulled into a machine. After the surgery, the factory supervisor tells me it's my fault. Because of my arm, the machine has to be shut down for repairs, and every day of downtime will cost them millions. "Someone has to take responsibility for this, Zachary," the supervisor tells me. "It wouldn't make sense to demand millions from you, so just compensate us with 300,000—that's all." Under their threats—and my family's desperate begging—I sign the IOU for 300,000. With one arm gone, I can no longer find a job. All I can do is collect trash to repay the debt. While picking up bottles outside a restaurant one day, I hear the factory supervisor laughing and bragging inside. "Actually, that one-armed guy didn't violate any rules. In fact, the HQ gave three million dollars in compensation. My house and car? All bought with that money," he said. "I mean, who'd ever find out? With that debt hanging over him, he's probably already run off somewhere." Shaken by the news, I stagger onto the street. A truck roars out of nowhere, slamming into me and throwing me 16 feet across the road. When I open my eyes again, I had returned to the day I lost my arm.

Warning! Mature Content! “You enjoy provoking me, don’t you?” He said through our busy lips. “Ever since the first time you walked into my office, you’ve done nothing but test my patience. And the second time we met, you punched my face.” I giggled as I bit his lip before pulling away slightly. He squeezed my waist at the action. “I do.” Kura, one of the directors of Runner Studios, is known for her talented work and a knack for not following rules. Nile, the CEO of their own family company. He was of Russian, Japanese, and American descent, known for his androgynous beauty and his cold personality. The first time they met, the two immediately clashed and hated each other right away. But one intimate night changed between the two of them…

After my husband's brother died, he took Miranda, his widowed sister-in-law in. He claimed that he would give me his love—but gave all his money to her. He said that since she had no official status, being with him would make her the subject of gossip, so he took her with him and left me behind in the countryside. Every month, he wrote me three love letters, yet sent all his allowance to her. During the famine, she and her two children sat in a warm little house eating well, while my two children died before I could return from selling my blood. One froze to death, the other starved to death. Later, my husband finally came back, but he didn’t shed a single tear for the children. Instead, he told me he wanted a divorce. "Nathalie, to apply for housing, we need a marriage certificate. It hasn’t been easy for Miranda all these years. I want to give her a home. Don’t worry, even if I marry her, I’ll still divorce her afterward—because you’re the only one I love." In the end, I was devastated and threw myself into the icy river. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day my children were about to die. This time, I shook them awake, ready to go reclaim everything that was rightfully mine.

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.

Aku dan Ridho adalah pasangan perjodohan keluarga sejak kecil. Setelah menikah, kami pun hidup saling mencintai. Dalam sebuah insiden, dia bahkan memberikan satu-satunya kesempatan untuk selamat padaku. Setelah Ridho meninggal, kami menemukan sebuah buku harian di antara barang-barang peninggalannya. Di dalamnya, tertulis bahwa selama tiga tahun kehilangan ingatan akibat terjatuh dari tebing, dirinya pernah sangat mencintai seorang perempuan. Namun, mereka dipisahkan secara paksa oleh orang tuanya dan akhirnya menikah denganku. Ternyata, dia diam-diam terus melindungi perempuan itu dari kejauhan selama ini. Saat pemakamannya, ibunya menangis histeris, “Ridho, ini semua salah ibu. Kalau saja ibu mengizinkan kamu menikahi Yolanda, mungkin kamu nggak akan mati!” Ayahnya menatapku penuh amarah,“Dulu dia jatuh dari tebing demi menyelamatkanmu dan sekarang dia juga mengorbankan nyawanya dalam kecelakaan mobil untukmu. Kenapa kamu selalu membawa luka untuknya? Kenapa bukan kamu saja yang mati?!” Iya, kenapa bukan aku …. Aku menatap wajah Ridho yang tersenyum lembut di batu nisannya, lalu membenturkan kepala ke batu nisan itu. Saat membuka mata lagi, aku kembali ke waktu ketika Ridho baru saja dibawa pulang dari desa nelayan. Kali ini, aku memilih untuk merelakannya.
