Video Utopia #hujan

When my parents got old, they needed someone to take care of them. Katerina—my younger sister—was off to Amiraka with her smug husband Chris. Meanwhile, I was crammed into a two-bedroom in Bellavaro with my husband Pavel, who drove a taxi. Mom had no retirement savings, so guess who she dumped herself on? Yep—me. Dad took the cash and ran straight to Katerina. Our place was tiny, but we still gave Mom the master bedroom. She hated it. Constant complaints, constant drama. According to her, life with me was pure misery. Every night, she'd hop on video call with Katerina, gushing about Amiraka like it was heaven, while throwing shade at me for not "taking care of her properly." Meanwhile, I was drowning—trying to hold it together for Mom, help my daughter prep for exams, support a husband with spine problems, and check in on aging in-laws. Mom didn't care. She wanted a plane ticket to Amiraka to party for Katerina's birthday. I snapped. We had a blowout fight, and she collapsed—brain hemorrhage. Even in her hospital bed, she stared me down, whining Katerina's name like a broken record. Then she spat out, "I should've never picked a useless daughter like you!" My chest cracked in half. I blacked out. When I woke up—I was ten years younger. Back to the day they decided who'd get stuck taking care of them. This time, Mom didn't wait. "I want Katerina to take care of me. It's my turn to enjoy life!"

"....do you Mr Amber take Miss Lexy to be your wedded wife till the end of time?" I waited for a response, I was supposed to be standing in front of my husband to be, waiting for him to say yes and then get wedded to him for the rest of my miserable life,but guess what? It wasn't My husband to be in front of me, it was his best friend holding up his phone! My husband to be claimed he had important things to do and so he wouldn't make it hear in person!

"Tell me Vanessa—does my brother fuck you better than I do?" Vanessa stared at her husband in shock, unable to comprehend the question he'd just asked her. She'd never even met Nicholas Lancaster, Sebastian's enemy and rival brother, let alone slept with him. But Sebastian didn't care about the truth as he shoved a sex tape in her face—a video showing a woman who looked exactly like her with the man she'd never touched. After losing their baby six months ago, Vanessa didn't expect her husband to call her barren and worthless, to tell her she couldn't give him the child he deserved. After three years as his secret wife, Sebastian threw divorce papers at her and demanded she disappear before his billion-dollar deal came through. Vanessa signed and left with nothing. Seven years later, she returned as Mrs. Nicholas Lancaster—married to Sebastian's brother and greatest enemy, ready to destroy the man who destroyed her. But she didn't return alone. When Sebastian's eyes landed on the six-year-old boy at her side, his world stopped. The boy looked exactly like him. What if the child wasn't Nicholas's son at all? What if he was his? Sebastian is determined to find out the truth about the boy's real father, and if the boy is his, he'll destroy everything Vanessa has built to claim his son. But Vanessa isn't the broken woman he threw away seven years ago—and this time, she's ready to fight back.

My daughter, Annabelle Turner, was diagnosed with hereditary heart disease. I spent the past five years searching for a compatible heart donor for her. Now, I finally found one. Right before Annabelle is sent into the surgery room, my husband and renowned cardiologist, Gabriel Turner, tearfully makes me a promise. "Don't worry, sweetheart. I'll make sure Annabelle gets a shot at life again." Yet halfway through the surgery, Gabriel suddenly leaves in a hurry without giving any explanation. I stumble into the surgery room and see Annabelle lying on the operating table, covered in blood. Her chest is cut wide open, laid bare for all to see. Tyler Rotwell, Gabriel's assistant, stammers out, "Dr. Turner said… that Anna can still hold on a little longer, but Ms. Byron's son can't. "Dr. Turner took the heart that was meant for Anna and left…" I immediately break down and repeatedly call Gabriel's number, but Gabriel never answers a single call, not even when Anna's blood has completely dried… While settling my daughter's post-mortem affairs, I happen to see a newly posted update on Gabriel's childhood friend, Suzanne Byron's social media. "Turns out it was just a misdiagnosis," was what the caption read. "In that case, let's give this useless little thing to our good boy Oscar as a treat!" The video attached depicts Suzanne's dog Oscar tearing into the heart that was supposed to be donated to Annabelle. As I turn to look at Annabelle's cold body, the last shred of love I have for Gabriel starts crumbling apart. By the time Gabriel finally remembers Annabelle, whom he left on the operating table, only an empty bedroom and an urn containing her ashes would greet him…

Hari itu adalah hari ulang tahunku. Kupikir, Andre akan menemaniku ke pantai untuk menonton kembang api. Tapi, pacarku itu malah membawa wanita lain dan anak wanita itu. "Keisya repot bawa anak, tolong pengertian." "Dia nggak tahu jalan dan bawa barang banyak, jadi aku mau antar mereka ke hotel duluan." Dia mengatakannya dengan enteng, seolah sedang menjelaskan masalah sepele. Kelembutan itulah yang membuat kemarahanku tampak berlebihan dan tanpa alasan. Dia membantu mereka masuk ke dalam mobil dan memasangkan sabuk pengaman untuk anak itu. Lalu dia tersenyum dan berkata kepadaku, "Aku nggak lama pasti balik lagi, jangan mikir macam-macam." Aku berdiri di pinggir jalan, menyaksikan mereka pergi seakan-akan mereka satu keluarga sempurna. Malam tiba. Angin laut terasa sangat dingin hingga menusuk tulang. Aku masih menunggu, sampai aku melihat video di akun Keisya. Andre menggendong anak Keisya sambil menonton pertunjukan kembang api di pantai. Pertunjukan itu adalah kejutan yang aku rencanakan sendiri untuk ulang tahunku. Isi komentar di bawahnya senada. [Mereka pasangan yang serasi, keluarga kecil yang bahagia.] Seseorang bertanya padanya kenapa dia tidak menjemputku. Dia tersenyum dan berkata, "Viona pengertian. Dia nggak mungkin marah." Pada saat itu, kue ulang tahunku sudah meleleh seluruhnya. Ternyata, dia bukannya tidak punya hati. Dia hanya terlalu yakin bahwa aku akan terus menunggu selamanya. Tapi, hati yang terlalu lama diabaikan pasti akan menjadi dingin. Ombak menghantam pantai. Menghancurkan ilusi terakhirku. Kali ini, aku tidak akan menunggunya kembali.

Seventeen-year-old Nora Macie has spent her entire life surviving in the shadows of the Collins mansion. Her mother is the underpaid and mute housekeeper who raised Nora to stay silent, stay small, and stay invisible. Master Stephan Collins pays Nora’s tuition at Riverbrook High, a constant reminder that their lives belong to the family. Especially to Asher Collins, the arrogant heir who is expected to take over the Collins food empire. Nora obeys the rules she was raised with: do not look at Master Asher, do not speak to Master Asher, do not fall for Master Asher. His mother drilled them into her every month. She has always kept her distance from him, until one humiliating accident shatters her carefully controlled world. One night, she films a private sex tape meant for her eyes only. She tries to delete it, but her fingers slip, and the video is sent straight to Asher Collins, the guy who is also her stepbrother! She expects humiliation, exposure, and ruin. Instead, Asher watches it with hunger, curiosity, and a dangerous idea. When he discovers her hopeless crush on James Porter, the flawless leader of the Library Club, he offers a deal. He will transform her into someone unforgettable, someone every boy at Riverbrook High notices. Refuse, and he will tell his mother that the maid’s daughter is in love with him. The makeover ignites chaos. Rich boys notice her. James notices her. Damien Priest, Asher’s rival, notices her. And worst of all, Asher begins to want her too. The quiet maid’s daughter is suddenly the center of a war she never asked for—a war of obsession, jealousy, and temptation. And the boy who is supposed to help her might be the one who destroys her.

18+ Kata orang, menjadi istri seorang Aiden Malik yang merupakan pewaris tahta kerajaan bisnis Malik Group adalah impian setiap wanita. Tapi, tidak bagi Eva. Karena Eva selalu berharap kalau dia bisa menghindari hal ini, namun, kenyataan berkata lain. Bagaimanakah Eva menghadapi kehidupan yang tak seindah seperti kelihatannya? Eva memelototi bagian belakang kepala suaminya dengan kesal, "Percaya atau tidak, tapi tadi malam ada yang memberiku obat perangsang." "Oh ya? Menurutmu aku percaya?" Eva mendecih. "Terserah kau mau percaya atau tidak. Tapi sejujurnya aku katakan kalau aku lebih suka tidur di samping onggokan sampah daripada tidur denganmu." Suara Eva sarat dengan amarah. Betapa menjijikkan dan sombongnya pria itu karena telah membuat video tentang apa yang terjadi tadi malam lalu memutarnya kembali di hadapannya seperti ini. Suaminya hanya ingin mempermalukannya. "Apakah kau kesal karena tadi malam aku tidak melakukannya hingga lima kali denganmu, Eva? Uhm, atau mungkin kau hanya ingin hamil anakku sehingga statusmu sebagai istriku tidak perlu dipertanyakan lagi?" Eva menghela napas, sudah cukup dengan omong kosong ini. Dia tidak ingin dipermalukan lagi oleh suaminya. "Yang harus kau lakukan hanyalah menandatangani kertas ini, Aiden. Tanda tangani saja surat perceraian kita lalu ceraikan aku." Aiden memalingkan kepalanya. "Apa yang baru saja kau katakan? Sebuah perceraian, hm? Tidak semudah itu, Sayang. Siapa yang memberi ide di kepalamu kalau aku akan melepaskanmu?"

My younger brother had opened a high-end beauty salon, so I took my mother there for a facial. We picked the most expensive package, but the moment the mask was applied, Mom's face began to burn. When we peeled it off, her entire face was covered in rashes. I called for the director, but she looked impatient. "Oh, that's just a normal detox reaction." I was stunned. "Her face is practically ruined! What products are you even using?" "Ruined?" She flared up like someone had stepped on her tail. "Your mom's skin is just too bad to handle premium nutrients! Once our products are opened, they're non-refundable—got it?" I pointed to the brochure. "It says right here—'gentle and non-irritating, full refund if any adverse reaction occurs.' Is this how Stellan Fallow taught you to run a business?" She crossed her arms and lifted her chin high. "I am the boss! You and your mother look broke as hell—clearly here to mooch a free treatment. Now that it didn't work, you're trying to scam us for money? "Let me tell you something—this set costs 38 thousand, and with my emotional damages and lost wages, that's a total of 100 thousand. If you don't pay up today, I'll have the police take you both in!" A hundred thousand for a product that ruined someone's face? It was no wonder Stellan suddenly wanted to open a salon—it turned out he and his girlfriend were running a scam together! I was about to call Stellan, but before I could, she hit the video dial first. "Bubby, get over here—two broke idiots tried to freeload a treatment and now they're trying to shake us down for money!"

Una empleada de mi empresa se fue a desahogarse en TikTok porque, según ella, yo no le aprobaba la licencia por matrimonio. “Tenemos un bajo índice de matrimonios, una baja natalidad, y es culpa de ustedes, malditos capitalistas. ¡Ni siquiera me apruebas la licencia por matrimonio! ¿Para ti solo soy una esclava? Me creí tus mentiras, eso de ‘vamos a ser una empresa de puras mujeres, una empresa amigable con las mujeres’, y mírate ahora: se te cayó la máscara; ya se te vio la cara de capitalista que exprime a la gente hasta dejarla seca.” El video explotó de la nada; un montón de jóvenes se sintieron identificados y se me fueron encima en redes, al punto de que hasta me mandaron navajas por correo. Yo, como jefa, me lancé a hacer un live y me le fui directo contra ella. “Lo siento, pero la licencia por matrimonio de Blanca no la voy a aprobar. Puede denunciar ante el Ministerio de Trabajo y pedir una audiencia de conciliación; si no hay acuerdo, puede demandarme en un juzgado laboral si quiere.” El live reventó de gente. Entre los que la apoyaban, aparecieron supuestos abogados y hasta se ofrecían a ayudarla gratis a demandarme, pero Blanca se quedó con el gesto tenso, como si no tuviera salida. “Yo solo quería mi licencia; nunca pensé en renunciar, y mucho menos en demandar a Samantha…”

Ulang tahun pertama Elio--putra mereka--seharusnya jadi perayaan cinta bagi Nadine dan Arvan. Namun yang datang justru duka, nisan, dan pengkhianatan. Nadine berdiri di pemakaman anaknya, menggenggam boneka beruang kecil, satu-satunya peninggalan yang masih mengandung aroma tubuh Elio. Anak itu bisa diselamatkan—kalau sang ayah, Arvan, bersedia mendonorkan sumsum. Namun yang Nadine dapatkan bukan pertolongan, melainkan penolakan dan penghinaan serta perselingkuhan dua orang terdekat. Seketika dunia Nadine runtuh, saat sebuah pesan video dari nomor tak dikenal mengungkap perselingkuhan antara Arvan dan sepupunya sendiri, Raline. Lalu, pesan lain menyusul: "Kau terlihat cantik dalam balutan duka. Lihatlah ke belakangmu." Dari situ, semuanya berubah menjadi lebih gelap. Didorong dari tangga pemakaman dan dituduh mencoba bunuh diri, Nadine terbangun di rumah sakit tanpa suara, tanpa anak, tanpa keluarga, tanpa apa-apa. Bahkan suaminya telah menceraikannya dalam keadaan koma. Dunia menghapusnya, satu demi satu. Namun ketika ia nyaris mengakhiri hidup dari rooftop rumah sakit, seorang pria asing menariknya kembali dari jurang kematian. Pria itu keras, dingin, dan penuh rahasia—tetapi juga satu-satunya orang yang tampaknya melihat Nadine … sebagai manusia, bukan sebagai tragedi berjalan. Siapa dia? Kenapa dia muncul di titik terendah hidup Nadine? Dan apa maksudnya dengan kalimat: "Kita belum selesai membicarakan tentang hidup"? Ketika luka lama terbuka dan rahasia demi rahasia terbongkar, Nadine menyadari: kematian Elio mungkin bukan akhir—melainkan awal dari sesuatu yang jauh lebih kelam.
