Nakakabulag ang pag-ibig at hindi natin minsan mahinuha ang kayang abutin nito. Isa si Aia sa nasilo ng pakiramdam na ito. Minahal niya ang lalaking buong akala niya ay ang totoong nagmamahal sa kaniya, ngunit sa paglipas ng mga panahon ay nalaman niyang may isang katauhan pa pala sa likod ng lalaking kaniyang minahal. Sa lihim na pagtingin ng CEO kay Aia ay hindi na niya mapigilan ang bugso ng damdamin, dito ay natagpuan niya ang sariling walang saplot katabi ng kanyang amo. Sobrang sakit ng ulo niya nang maalala niya ang mga maiinit na tagpong pinagsaluha nila nung gabing yaon. Tinitigan niya ang maamong mukha ng lalaki at inilapit ang labi sa ilong nito.

I stared at the Vercetti marriage contract my father pushed across the table. Without hesitation, I wrote my half-sister’s name, Demi, and slid it back. My father froze. Then his eyes lit up with ridiculous excitement, like he’d just won the lottery. "How can you give such a perfect chance to your sister?" Last life, my marriage was a joke for everyone around me. I was the red-haired, untamed little witch who dared to climb into the orbit of Cassian Vercetti, heir and leader of the old-blood Vercetti crime family. I was never perfect nor obedient. He loved goddess gowns. I wore mini skirts and danced on tables. He demanded missionary, traditional, orderly intimacy. I wanted to climb on top, ride him, lose myself completely. At a gala, society wives laughing at my hair, my dress, my “wildness.” I thought he would at least pretend to defend me. He didn’t. “Forgive her. She’s not…properly trained.” Trained. Like a dog. I spent my entire last life suffocating under his rules, bending myself bloody to fit the shape he wanted, until the night our house caught fire. When I opened my eyes again, I was back at the moment I learned of the arranged marriage. I looked at the contract in front of me. This time? I think the nightclub boys suits me better. But the moment Cassian realized the bride wasn’t me, he shattered every rule he’d ever lived by.

Aku menatap kontrak pernikahan Keluarga Varsali yang didorong ayahku ke seberang meja. Tanpa ragu, kutulis nama saudari tiriku, Dina, lalu kusodorkan kembali. Ayahku terdiam membeku. Kemudian, matanya menyala dengan antusiasme konyol, seolah-olah baru saja memenangkan lotre. "Kenapa kamu kamu mau memberikan kesempatan sesempurna ini pada adikmu?" Di kehidupan sebelumnya, pernikahanku adalah bahan tertawaan semua orang di sekitarku. Aku si penyihir kecil liar berambut merah yang berani masuk ke dunia Cassius Varsali, pewaris sekaligus pemimpin Keluarga Kriminal Varsali. Aku tak pernah sempurna, apalagi patuh. Dia menyukai gaun bak dewi, aku memakai rok mini dan menari di atas meja. Dia menuntut keintiman yang misionaris, tradisional, dan patuh, aku ingin berada di atas, menungganginya, tenggelam sepenuhnya. Di sebuah gala, para istri kalangan atas mentertawakan rambutku, gaunku, dan keliaranku. Kupikir setidaknya dia akan berpura-pura membelaku, tetapi dia tidak melakukannya. "Maafkan dia. Dia belum ... terlatih dengan baik." Terlatih. Seperti anjing. Sepanjang kehidupan terakhirku, aku tercekik di bawah aturannya, membengkokkan diriku hingga berdarah agar pas dengan bentuk yang dia inginkan, sampai malam rumah kami terbakar. Saat aku membuka mata lagi, aku kembali ke momen ketika pertama kali mengetahui perjodohan itu. Aku menatap kontrak di hadapanku. Kali ini? Kurasa para pria klub malam lebih cocok untukku. Namun, saat Cassius menyadari pengantinnya bukan aku, dia menghancurkan setiap aturan yang selama ini dia pegang teguh.

Entah Kinan harus bahagia atau merasa terkurung ketika ia dijodohkan dengan pria yang sempat ia taksir sebelumnya. “Mas?” Kinan memanggil pria yang sudah menjadi suaminya itu perlahan. Sembari menjawilnya dengan jari telunjuk.   “Apa, sih, Nan?!! Astagaaa!” Alan rupanya juga belum tidur pulas.   “Kenapa? Kamu grogi!?”sindir Alan lagi.    “Eh?”   Alan kemudian berbalik menghadap pada istrinya.    “Kamu mau aku ngapain kamu???”   “Ng-nggak kok, Mas. Aku nggak minta apa-apa,” ucap Kinan gemataran. Ia menarik selimutnya hingga sebatas leher.   Alan malah semakin mendekatkan kepalanya pada Kinan. “Kamu mau malam pertama seperti pasangan pada umumnya?” tanyanya. Apakah mereka akan menyesali ini semua nantinya? ==================== Published in March 2022 Cover by Canva Pro Follow Instagram dan Facebook Page @novelbyreb
