When Somebody Loved Me

In the second year of my marriage to Jeffery Sadler, he brought a young woman home. When his eyes met mine, Jeffery smiled carelessly and said, "Naomi, perhaps you should try it too." He added, "After all, young and energetic people are truly different." I knew he was only testing me; he had always enjoyed tormenting and toying with me. But what he didn't know was that this time, I was genuinely tempted. Later, as he stared at the fresh scratch marks on the "young person's" waist and abdomen, his eyes blazed red with anger. "Naomi Sloan," he growled, “Who gave you the audacity to actually take this seriously?”

PROSES REVISI. JANGAN DIBACA DULU. Pernah merasa terluka tapi tetap memilih bertahan? Itulah Alsha, gadis yang sekuat cahaya, namun juga sering tenggelam dalam bayang-bayang. Alshameyzea Afsheena yang memiliki arti "cahaya yang memancarkan keanggunan" seolah menjadi takdirnya. Cahaya yang selalu hadir, meskipun kadang terselubung oleh awan-awan kelabu. Seperti matahari yang tetap bersinar meski kadang tak terlihat, begitu pula Alsha. Dia pernah berharap, pernah mencintai, pernah menggenggam mimpi yang kemudian berubah menjadi abu kenangan. Namun, seperti arti namanya, dia tetap bersinar. Keanggunannya bukan dari sempurna, tapi dari caranya bangkit meski jatuh berkali-kali. Dia pernah menyukai seseorang yang membuatnya merasakan hangatnya mentari, tapi juga pernah merasakan dinginnya bayangan. Semua luka dan kenangan itu, hanya menambah sinarnya, semakin kuat dan anggun. Karena Alsha tahu, tak ada yang lebih indah dari cahaya yang tetap bersinar meski di tengah badai. Masa lalu, baginya, mungkin menyakitkan, namun di sanalah ia belajar tentang keanggunan. Keanggunan dalam menerima, dalam merelakan, dan dalam terus bersinar, tanpa pernah kehilangan jati dirinya. Jangan lupa follow dulu sebelum baca. Semoga betah sampai di akhir kisah Alsha! Jazakumullah khayran Katsir yang sudah mau baca ceritaku. Salam hangat dari author.

A harassment situation at her company leads her to move from a small town in Texas to New York. She takes her little savings and CV and tries to get a job. Christopher is the CEO of a large advertising company. When Saphira starts working for him, he maintains his professionalism and detachment, but he can't help but appreciate the girl's beauty. He is always jumping from woman to woman, and his playboy fame is well known, so when he confesses his interest in her on a business trip, Saphira doesn't take him seriously and sets the professional barrier between them very high. Her coldness towards him stirs up the feeling that is born in his chest even more, but Saphira doesn't allow any approach, despite Christopher sometimes seeing in her eyes that the feeling is reciprocal. What would he have to do to conquer the girl who looked like "the girl next door" he's been looking for all his life? And why doesn't Saphira want to give him a chance? What dark secret keeps her away?
