The Duchess And The Devil

"Oh princess... love was never my religion but I'd devote my whole life to you." Lumaki si Amira na hindi man lang naranasan na makatanggap ng pagmamahal mula sa kanyang mga magulang. Palibhasa ay madalas nauutal at tahimik, mas pinapaburan ng kanyang mga magulang ang kanyang Ate Alysa, na maliban sa napakaganda ay napakatalentado pa. Kaya hindi na nagtaka ang dalaga nang sa halip na ang kanyang nakakatandang kapatid ay siya ang ipinagbili ng mga ito, upang masagip ang papaluging kompanya ng kanilang pamilya. At para siyang papanawan ng ulirat nang malaman niyang ipinagbili siya ng kanyang magulang kay Yasir Reza, ang pinakamayaman-at pinakawalang-puso-na lalaki sa buong siyudad. Alam niyang panganib ang hatid ni Yasir. Kung hindi kamalasan ay higit lang na pasakit ang kanyang matatanggap. Walang puso ang pagkakakilala ng mga tao sa lalaki, at halos lahat ng mga napapangasawa nito ay namamatay, kung hindi man nakikipaghiwalay sa bilyonaryo. Nakikinita na ni Amira ang kahihinatnan niya. Ngunit kahit na alam niya ang peligro na bitbit ng kanyang asawa, hindi niya masawata ang pintig ng kanyang puso nang sa unang gabi nila ay masuyo siya nitong hagkan... Si Yasir na ba ang anghel na magpaparanas sa kanya ng walang katumbas na pagmamahal, o ito ang demonyong magdudulot ng higit pang pait sa puso niya?

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" "It is." "Please don't pull that with me." "Pull what?" "That." She pointed at my face. "Where I explain how pretty everything looks and you say yes but you would be referring to me." She waved her hands in the air, explaining. "It's cliche and kinda getting old." "Would you prefer I do this instead?" I pinned a loose strand behind her ear, my palm roamed her soft features and also on her lips. "Or this?" I leaned in to steal a kiss, stopping midway to see if she'd stop me and she didn't. I couldn't help the tiny smirk that lay on my lips after. "Aren't you going to stop me?" My raspy voice whispered in her ear. She shivered, unconsciously leaning into me for warmth. I stopped her fingers as she tried to wrap them around my neck. ********** She's not the bad girl he thought she was. He's not the good boy she thought he was.

Malam ini, aku merasakan suasana yang berbeda, Resah yang hinggap serupa ketakutan, Gelap ini menyambut seperti mantra, Menyerap rasa pada kegundahan yang aku rasakan. Di ujung malam ada suara seperti bisikan, Memanggilku yang meringkuk ketakutan, "Nadja...." Aku tetap diam, di dalam kamar yang kini terasa pengap. Udara tetiba terasa hilang, Aku semakin gemetaran. Ada yang datang! Seperti kilat yang menyambar kegelapan! Aku menjerit histeris! Menggapai apa yang bisa menggenggam ketakutanku! "Nadja, jangan takut. Ini aku yang datang menjemputmu" Kerjapan mataku seperti dihipnotis, Ketakutanku perlahan lenyap seperti bayangan yang ditelan gelap. Rupanya dia, di sana berdiri membelakangi rembulan. Dengan jubah hitamnya yang berkibar angkuh! Satu sosok yang memberiku kehidupan yang berbeda. Yang menenggelamkan aku dalam asmara yang terlarang. Cinta yang seharusnya kubuang. Namun, nyatanya tetap kupertahankan.
