Tanggal Lahir Cut Syifa

Sewaktu SMP aku jadi korban fitnah cabul, hanya Setyo Lakmana yang membelaku. Sejak saat itu, aku selalu percaya padanya. Hingga hari itu tiba, aku tidak sengaja mendengar candaannya bersama teman-temannya. "Kenapa dulu kamu membela Milla Jayandhi? Apa karena wajahnya yang mirip Riska Gayatri?" Setyo mendengus sinis. "Dia mana pantas dibandingkan sama Milla? Aku cuma merasa kalian terlalu berisik." "Lagi pula, dia jual diri atau tidak, apa urusannya denganku?" Keyakinanku runtuh seketika. Jadi, ketika Riska diam-diam mendorong selembar cek padaku, aku berkata dengan tersenyum, "Aku terima kesepakatan ini." Saat dia pergi ke luar negeri, aku bersedia menjadi penggantinya demi menahan Setyo agar tetap berada di sisinya. Aku sangat menyadari bahwa saat menatapku, Setyo sebenarnya sedang merindukan Riska melalui diriku. Jadi, Ketika Riska Kembali dan Setyo melemparkan uang kepadaku, aku tidak terkejut sama sekali. "Ambil uangnya dan jangan pernah muncul lagi." Aku tersenyum tipis dan menerima uang itu. "Tuan Setyo, kita impas." Hanya saja, setelah itu seluruh kota dipenuhi rumor bahwa dia mencariku seperti orang gila. Akan Tetapi, Setyo Lakmana, cintaku sudah lama kedaluwarsa...

My boyfriend, Harvey Seinfeld, got diagnosed with cancer and needed a liver transplant. When I found out I was a match, I didn't think twice. Two-thirds of my liver—gone. The pain was brutal. As soon as I came to, I dragged myself to his room. Right before I walked in, I heard him laughing with his friends. "Harvey, you're a genius for coming up with such an epic revenge plan." He snorted. "If I didn't have to keep it low-key, I would've taken a kidney just for fun. "It's her fault Vivi bombed her art exam and had to study abroad. Vivi's coming back next month. That's when I'll be done with her for good."

Di hari acara pernikahan, tunanganku dan adik perempuanku, Laura Kusuma berhubungan seks di ruang istirahat dan tertangkap basah di tempat. Aku menjadi bahan tertawaan seisi ruangan. Dulu kekasih masa kecilku, Carlos Luke, malah melamarku di depan umum dan melindungiku dengan cara yang mencolok. Setelah menikah, dia sangat patuh kepadaku. Sayang sekali dia tidak bisa melakukannya dan kehidupan seks tidak berjalan lancar. Sampai tahun ini aku baru hamil setelah menjalani program bayi tabung. Setelah itu, dia semakin memperhatikanku. Aku pikir dialah takdirku. Sampai hari itu, aku mendengar percakapannya dengan temannya. “Carlos, kamu sungguh kejam, Nadya Kusuma begitu baik padamu, bagaimana bisa kamu mengganti sel telur dan membiarkan Nadya menjadi ibu pengganti hanya karena Laura takut sakit dan tidak berani melahirkan?” “Lagipula, anak itu akan lahir dua bulan lagi, lalu apa yang akan kamu lakukan?” Dia terdiam sejenak dan mendesah. “Ketika bayinya lahir, aku akan memberikannya kepada Laura dan memenuhi keinginannya.” “Sedangkan Nadya, aku akan memberitahunya bahwa bayinya sudah tiada.” “Aku akan menemaninya selama sisa hidupnya.” Ternyata begitu. Perhatian lembut yang kukira, semua hanya untuk adikku. Aku berbalik dan membuat janji untuk operasi. Anak kotor ini, aku tidak menginginkannya lagi. Pernikahan palsu ini, aku lebih tidak menginginkannya.

In an East London lock up, two film makers, Jimmy and Sam, are duct taped to chairs and forced to watch a snuff film by Ashkan, a loan shark to whom they owe a lot of money. If they don’t pay up, they’ll be starring in the next one. Before the film reaches its end, Ashkan and all his men are slaughtered by unknown assailants. Only Jimmy and Sam survive the massacre, leaving them with the sole copy of the snuff film. The film makers decide to build their next movie around the brutal film. While auditioning actors, they stumble upon Melissa, an enigmatic actress who seems perfect for the leading role, not least because she’s the spitting image of the snuff film’s main victim. Neither the film, nor Melissa, are entirely what they seem however. Jimmy and Sam find themselves pulled into a paranormal mystery that leads them through the shadowy streets of the city beneath the city and sees them re-enacting an ancient Mesopotamian myth cycle. As they play out the roles of long forgotten gods and goddesses, they’re drawn into the subtle web of a deadly heresy that stretches from the beginnings of civilization to the end of the world as we know it. ©️ Crystal Lake Publishing

My boy friend Caleb Ford's childhood sweetheart, Julia Leclair, is losing her hair from chemotherapy. So, he orders me to cut mine off and make her a wig. "Julia's allergic to synthetic wigs. You've been growing your hair for ten years—it's perfect." I refuse, but his friends tie me down. Someone shaves my head to the scalp, buzzing through my thick, glossy hair until nothing's left but a butchered mess. Julia sits in her wheelchair and laughs, saying I look like a toad. Caleb smiles and nods in agreement. He adds with a chuckle, "It's just some hair. Was that really necessary?" But back when I was bullied for having uneven, choppy short hair for six straight years, it was he who stood in front of me. He had his arms spread wide as he shielded me from harm. Now he's the one wielding the blade. One by one, their little circle chimes in. They tell me not to hold a grudge against someone who's sick. Caleb snaps impatiently, "Stop trying to talk sense into her. She can get lost! Did you see that fit she threw over a few strands of hair? It's not like they won't grow back." I turn around and walk away. I never look back. Later, I hear that Caleb begs for my forgiveness by kneeling his way up 9000 steps until his knees are ruined.

I was performing the hundredth "restoration" surgery on my mafia husband's latest mistress when I finally decided to leave him. For five years, I, Isabella Rossi, have lived a double life: the respected wife of a powerful Don, and the personal physician tasked with "purifying" the women he discards. Vincent's twisted religious conviction is his law: only a wife untouched by any other man can bear his legitimate heir. I was that pure wife, yet he treated me as his most unclean possession. My love for him died a slow death. A thousand empty nights. It was killed by the cold steel of my own operating table. By the sounds of other women boasting about his touch. The five-year prenuptial agreement that bound me to this hell was set to expire at midnight. I had already called my grandfather, the only man Vincent truly fears. My escape was hours away. By the time he realized his mistake, it was too late.
