"Maaf, tapi aku tak bisa meneruskan pernikahan ini. Setelah kupikir aku masih terlalu muda dan naif. Aku mencintaimu, Anna, tapi tidak dengan menikah. Cita-citaku masih menunggu untuk kuraih." Aku hanya menatapnya dengan air penuh, tak percaya padahal besok adalah hari pernikahan kami. Semua hal sudah direncanakan secara matang, tapi malam ini dia masuk menerobos dalam kamarku dan mengatakan hal-hal yang mematahkan semua tulang-tulangku. "Pergi ..." Aku berkata dengan lirih dan mengusirnya. Aku membecinya sangat! Dia adalah laki-laki paling brengsek yang pernah kutemui. Dia mengagalkan acara pernikahan ini karena terlalu egois! Danish adalah laki-laki paling egois dan brengsek yang pernah kutemui! "Maafkan aku, Anna. Aku sangat mencintaimu!" Aku hanya menggeleng. Tak ada cinta, jika dia yang memulai dia juga yang mengakhiri semua ini. "Sungguh, maafkan aku." Aku semakin menggeleng dan ingin melempar apa saja di hadapannya. Dia yang melamarku, aku tahu kami memang masih sangat muda tapi dia menyakinkan jika kebersamaan kami tidak akan goyah walau sudah menikah nanti dan meyakinkanku berkali-kali semuanya baik-baik saja. Tapi lihatlah kini! "Aku membencimu sangat, Danish!" Dan kami dipertemukan kembali hingga lima tahun kemudian, di malam reunian sekolah yang akhirnya merusak segala move on yang telah kucapai! Reuni semalam, merusak move on sebelanga. _______________ Danish - Cerita orang tuanya di (Nanny to Mommy) Anna - Cerita orang tuanya di (I Was Never Your)

"Fine!" I acquiescently cave in. "He better keeps his eyes off of you, or I'll poke his eyeballs out of its socket!" I grumbled exasperatedly. She just shook her head again in disbelief.

It started with a voice. Low and unhurried, speaking my name from somewhere close in the dark. Not threatening. Almost tender. The way someone says your name when they have been waiting a long time to finally say it out loud. Evelyn. Then came the touch. Fingertips, cool and deliberate, ghosting along the inside of my thigh. I shifted, half asleep, my legs parting before I could think better of it. The touch climbed higher, slow and patient, tracing the seam of me, circling the ache that bloomed hot and sudden between my legs. I was wet🥵 embarrassingly, instantly wet hips rocking into nothing, chasing the sensation.
