Twitter: Duh Lemes

白木夏希（しらき なつき）は先天性の不妊症だった。それでも夫は「たとえ一生子どもを持たないとしても、必ず君を妻にする」と言って結婚した。 しかし、結婚して五年後、夫の浮気スキャンダルがTwitterで炎上した。彼は後悔しきりで夏希に詫びた。「敵に薬を盛られただけだ。あの夜のことは何も覚えていない」と。 そして十ヶ月後、夫は突然、双子の赤ちゃんを連れて帰ってきた。 その子に母乳を飲ませていたのは、夏希の大学時代のルームメイト、つまり、あの一夜を共にした女だった。

My father suffered a heart attack and collapsed. Emergency treatment required the installation of a cardiac stent. I asked my husband to approve an expense of 10 thousand dollars for the surgery. Cameron Lister, the CEO, refused coldly, "The company and family accounts have been frozen recently because of a major project. Your father has medical insurance, so just use a cost-effective domestic stent for now." He was the sole administrator of all the bank cards in my family. His reply made me sorrowfully realize something. Even though I was a genius architectural designer with an annual income of 600 thousand dollars, I was still not worthy of choosing a better life-saving device for my own father. It was a Twitter post forwarded by a colleague, freshly and gleefully posted by the company intern Wendy. [Cameron is so nice. I just said I liked painting, and he gave me a million dollars to organize an art exhibition. I love him so much!] I looked at my father lying on an extra bed in the hospital corridor, groaning in pain, and then looked at the photo of them sweetly embracing each other. I finally understood that Cameron had perhaps never truly loved me. He had only treated me as a stepping stone for his soaring career, and as a tool for him to exploit without limits. 'If this is what you want, Cameron, then don't blame me for being ruthless,' I said inwardly.

"What!" Ethan says in his all too familiar deep rude voice. "You hit me, which caused my coffee to spill all over me," I say, pointing out the obvious. "So, what do you want me to do about it," He speaks like he has done nothing wrong "You are supposed to say sorry," I say in a duh tone "And why should I." "Because that is what people with manners do." "I know that, but you don't deserve sorry from me." "Wow, really, and why is that." "Because black bitches like you don't deserve it." "I have told you times without number to stop calling me that," I say getting angry with his insults "Make me," Ethan says, taking a dangerous step closer to me. I don't say anything, but hiss and walk past him. I don't know why I even expected him to say anything better. It is Ethan, after all. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a story about two people who knew how to express the word hate more than anything else to one another. Ethan hates Adina more than anything in the world and would give anything to see her perish into thin air. While on the other hand Adina could careless about Ethan other than the fact that she won't let him walk all over her with his arrogant character. What happens when a big incident changes all that. How do these two different people deal with a feeling that is supposed to be forbidden to feel for the each other. Read to find out how the person you hate the most is the one person you can love the most.

Selama lima tahun pernikahan, Diego selalu mempertahankan citra sebagai suami penyayang yang tak tergoyahkan. Sebagai pewaris Keluarga Luis, dia dengan disiplin mematuhi jam malam dan selalu pulang tepat waktu. Setiap hari dia sendiri yang menyetir mengantarku ke kantor, dan setiap hari raya dia bersusah payah menyiapkan hadiah. Instagram dan Twitter, semuanya dipenuhi keseharian dia memanjakan istrinya. Para netizen bercanda menyebutnya sudah stadium akhir "maniak cinta", sementara para penggemar pasangan menggilai pasangan kami mati-matian. Akan tetapi, akun WhatsApp-nya masih login di tablet, dan seorang perempuan mengiriminya sebuah video. Dalam video itu, si perempuan bercosplay sebagai polisi kelinci, tatapannya sayu dan menggoda. Sambil berlutut dengan kedua kaki terbuka, kedua tangannya sedang membuka kancing di dada, seolah tidak sabar memperlihatkan kulitnya yang putih mulus. [Kelinci kecil sangat merindukan Kak Diego, mau ciuman dari Kak Diego!] Suara perempuan itu manis dan menggoda, dengan nada sedikit manja. Awalnya aku tidak menganggapnya serius. Wajar saja kalau ada yang menyukai Diego, siapa sih yang tidak punya beberapa pengejar? Selama ini dia memberiku rasa aman yang cukup. Tepat saat kupikir ini hanya godaan sepihak lagi, Diego membalasnya: [Besok, seharian penuh kamu jangan harap bisa turun dari tempat tidur.] ...

Yuana Paradipta yang biasa dipanggil Yuan Yuan adalah gadis berbakat di keluarganya, tumbuh dengan penuh perhatian dan cinta dari Bundanya yang sudah menjanda sejak lama dan seorang adik lelaki yang selalu menjadi teman ributnya di rumah. Meski baru saja resign dari pekerjaan tetapnya, dia masih bisa hidup bahagia di dalam keluarganya. Tapi satu yang menjadi permasalahan baginya. Bundanya menuntutnya untuk segera mencari pasangan di usianya yang menginjak dua puluh delapan tahun. "Duh Bun, bahas itu lagi, itu lagi... Bosen Yuan dengernya." "Bunda lebih bosen lagi Yuan... Setiap ketemu tetangga selalu nanyain kapan kamu nikah? Kok gak pernah gandengan sama cowok? Apalagi si Yudha adek laki kamu sudah punya pacar, lha kamu kapan Yuan?" Ujar Bunda Vera sambil menatap sendu anak gadisnya. Sementara itu di tempat lain seorang pria muda yang tampan dan gagah juga mengalami hal yang sama. Dituntut untuk mencari calon mantu untuk Maminya dalam waktu dekat jika tidak mau menjalani perjodohan yang sudah diatur untuknya. Arthur Pradana sudah jenuh dengan ancaman Maminya itu. Sebagai CEO dia saja sudah pusing memikirkan perusahaan, ini malah ditambah memikirkan jodoh. Sungguh bukan gaya seorang Arthur. Dan entah bagaimana kejadiannya tiba-tiba Arthur dan Yuan yang merupakan karyawan barunya terlibat dalam suatu kesalahpahaman yang membuat mereka diharuskan untuk menikah. Lalu bagaiman kehidupan satu atap mereka yang awalnya saling benci akan berlangsung setiap harinya? Dan bagaimana cara mereka merahasiakan hubungan mereka di kantor?

After getting laid off, I come across a post when I'm looking for a new job. "What sort of job is the most lucrative these days?" There's a comment with the most likes in the comment section. "Find yourself a sugar daddy, duh! My sugar daddy is already the CEO of a company even though he's only in his 30s! He gives me 100 thousand dollars every month. Not only is he handsome and caring, but he's also amazing in bed! Hoo boy, we can keep going around seven times every night!" Someone asks the commentor, "How did you find such an amazing daddy?" "Last May, he was at a bar drinking his sorrows away after an argument with his girlfriend. I consoled him for a bit. That's how we ended up being together. "He kept complaining that his girlfriend was like dead fish in bed, so he was already sick of her a long time ago. You know what men are like, always going for excitement in life." My fingers curled around my phone slightly. Last May, I did get into a huge argument with my boyfriend, Brian Dicht. He never came home that night. The next morning, he returned while reeking of alcohol. I continue scrolling down the comment section, only to see the commentor posting a photo. "See? I was acting all cute and whiny to him just now by telling him that I cut my finger when I was preparing a meal for myself. He agreed to drop by my place to keep me company tonight." In the photo, there's a diamond ring adorning the ring finger that has a plaster wrapped around it. That ring looks exactly the same as the set of engagement rings Brian and I have. At the same time, my phone starts ringing. Soon, Brian's voice drifts from the other end of the line. "Bella, something came up in the company at the last minute. I'm not coming home tonight."

Richard Montague, a rich heir in Durmask, has just posted a new tweet on Twitter. The accompanying photo features a luxurious winery. The caption reads, "My wife loves this place a lot, so I bought it immediately." I tap on the photo, soon realizing that this is Amie Winery, the same place that I had briefly mentioned to Richard last week. Then, I recall the fact that he has told me that he's prepared a surprise anniversary gift for me in a mysterious tone. So, this winery must be the gift! With a wide smile on my face, I respond to his tweet in the comment section. But three minutes later, Kiara York, a popular celebrity from the same company that I'm in, quickly proclaims her love for Richard on the Internet. "Wow, my husband is so generous! I'm very satisfied with this gift!" All the onlookers and fans begin shipping Kiara and Richard like mad overnight. "What a sweet relationship! As expected of the rich heir in Durmask! Even the way he announces his relationship is very domineering!" The whole turn of events leaves me feeling stunned. Once I realize that Kiara is just trying to ride on the coattails of Richard's popularity, I quickly post a picture of my marriage certificate online. It comes with a caption. "If she's the legitimate wife, then who am I?" But Kiara soon posts a marriage certificate of her own. To my surprise, there's a photo attached to the certificate. Richard's face is shown in the photo. Kiara mocks me, "There's a limit to being a lunatic fangirl, you know! Rick and I are husband and wife by law! You can't just slap a Photoshopped picture here and pretend that he's your husband!" As I stare at both copies of the marriage certificates, which show the courthouse's stamp, I fall in deep contemplation. Then, I look at the place Kiara tagged on her Twitter comment. Finally, I can't resist calling Richard, who's currently overseas. "How dare you engage in bigamy behind my back!"

Tahu rasanya bertahun dalam ikatan halal tapi tak dicintai? Dia menikahiku karena pelarian, kemudian meninggalkanku begitu saja saat kekasihnya telah menjanda, pun saat bertahun diri ini menunggu cintanya. Aku Mentari, istri seorang dokter jenius dan ternama, Mas Rian. Kalau ada yang bertanya siapa yang dicintai Mas Rian? Jawabannya sudah pasti, tentu bukan aku. Dia menikahiku karena kekasihnya yang seprofesi memilih meninggalkannya demi karir dan lelaki lain. Setelah enam bulan pernikahan, Mas Rian baru menyentuhku, itupun sambil menyebut nama wanita pujaannya. Dan mulai dari situ, setiap dia mendatatangiku nama Dokter Juwita tanpa pernah absen diejanya. Sungguh sesak luar biasa. Meski demikian, aku tetap menyimpan harap untuknya. Karena selain Mas Rian memenuhi semua kebutuhanku secara berlebih, juga ada anak yang membuat kian subur rasa ini. "Ini bukan salahku, tapi takdir yang memang harus berlaku," ucap Mas Rian tanpa dosa apalagi meminta maaf sebagai kata perpisahan. Duh ... Ada yang patah tapi bukan ranting. Ada yang merembes tapi bukan darah. Sebegitu sakitnya mencintai dalam pengabaian? Sebegitu perihnya berharap dalam ketidak perdulian? Namun, tak mampu untuk berpaling. Hiks .... Belum genap sebulan kepergian Mas Rian, Bapak menghadap ke Ilahi karena stres mengetahui kehancuran rumah tanggaku. Lengkaplah sudah penderitaan ini. Entah kenapa suatu hari, Mas Rian memaksa mengambil putra semata wayang kami, Abram. Padahal dia tahu pasti hanya anak itu penemang sepi dan pengobat laraku. Aku seperti sedang menyaksikan drama korea perpisahan antara ibu dan anak, tersebab kalah di persidangan dalam perebutan hak asuh. Cuman bedanya, di sini aku tak jadi penonton atau penikmat, melainkan pemeran utama. Ternyata berdobel-dobel sesak yang ditimbulkannya. Andai tak punya malu, mungkin aku akan histeris juga selayak sang aktris menghayati skenario. Melihat air mata tanpa dosa putraku berjatuhan akibat keegoisan papanya, perlindungan seorang ibu berontak di jiwaku. Ya, aku harus berjuang, meski sampai titik darah penghabisan dan berakhir tumbang tak dikenang.
