Yes Good

After my mother shot down my pleas to cover my medical bills the 100th time, I clutched my bone cancer diagnosis papers and trudged to the crematorium. "Hi, I'd like to reserve a cremation slot ahead of time," I muttered to the clerk. Half an hour ticked by before my parents and adopted brother arrived in their car. My dad, a forensic pathologist, cracked me across the face. "You're pulling a fake-death stunt now, just to steal the spotlight from your brother?" My mom, a hospital director, snatched the papers from my hands and shredded them into confetti. "Faking records using my credentials and tying up hospital resources? You've crossed the line!" My brother cried, tugging at their sleeves. "It's all my fault. I'll skip the amusement park forever. I don't need a thing. Just quit riling up Mom and Dad." I spun around, my hand pressed against my throbbing chest, and begged the crematorium staff. "Please, when it's time, cremate me and scatter the ashes in the river. I've got no family left in this world."

By the third year of my marriage to Daniel Hawthorne, the war had already taken more than it ever returned, and this time it took his younger brother, Thomas Hawthorne. My sister-in-law, Eleanor, collapsed, and in the weeks that followed she tried to follow her husband into death— once with sleeping pills, once by the river beyond the officers’ quarters— only to be dragged back both times, each time clinging to me afterward as though I were the last thing keeping her grounded. I stayed with her, wiped her tears, and whispered that Thomas would want her to live, until the day she received the test results confirming she was three months pregnant, and the grief of losing her husband was slowly softened by the arrival of new life. I smiled too, believing grief had finally loosened its grip. That night, holding my own pregnancy test in my hand and thinking it was finally time to tell Daniel, I passed the study and heard his friend say quietly, “She’s carrying your child. You convinced the doctors to adjust the timeline so everyone would believe the baby belonged to your brother. Aren’t you afraid Margaret will find out?” Daniel didn’t hesitate. “She won’t,” he said calmly. “She loves me. She wouldn’t leave. I won’t let her know.” I didn’t step inside. I didn’t confront him. Instead, I opened the letter I had received weeks earlier— an official deployment order from the international medical corps, assigning me to a frontline war zone— and tapped Accept.

Pernikahannya dengan Jagad, yang diputuskan terburu-buru demi menghindari dosa, hancur karena tekanan keluarga, ketidaksiapan mental, dan perbedaan ekspektasi.

I died on my wedding night. Then I woke up—with revenge in my veins and my killer’s uncle in my bed. Betrayed by my husband and murdered by the man I once loved, I get a second chance—reborn one year before my death. This time, I’m done playing nice. I crash my own engagement by announcing an affair with the one man my ex fears: his powerful, brooding billionaire uncle. But what started as a game of revenge spirals into something dangerously real… and I’m carrying his child. Lies. Lust. Loyalty twisted beyond recognition. This time, I’m rewriting the rules—starting with my last name.

On Christmas Day, I put on a reindeer-themed lingerie set, ready to spend an unforgettable night with my CEO boyfriend. Noah Levine eagerly unbuttons my top, kissing my body with feverish intensity. Just then, his phone rings. He answers impatiently. "What is it?" A sweet voice comes through from the other end, speaking in Farylian. "Noah, what time are you coming tonight? I have a Christmas present for you." Hearing those words, my eyes fly wide open. That woman is my younger sister, Heidi Miller. Noah's expression turns serious, like he's handling a work call. He responds in Farylian. "What present?" The voice on the other end laughs softly. "The present is me, wrapped head to toe in red ribbon. Come over and help me unwrap it. I can't wait anymore." That night, Noah doesn't touch me. He helps me dress, kissing my cheek with reluctance. "Work call. Something urgent at the company I need to handle. We'll pick this up another time. "Remember to wear this outfit next time, though. It's very enticing." His lie sounds calm and natural. He clearly assumes I don't understand, but I know Farylian. I hear everything crystal clear. I pretend to nod calmly. After he leaves, I accept the company's overseas assignment. In three days, I'll vanish completely from his world.

Karena adik kembarku lemah sejak kecil, semua orang selalu memihak padanya. Hari itu badai salju menutup seluruh gunung, helikopter penyelamat hanya menyisakan satu kursi. Aku menggenggam hasil diagnosis kanker stadium akhir di tangan, bersiap untuk menyerahkan kesempatan hidup terakhir itu kepada adik kembarku. Namun, tiba-tiba dia memegangi kepala dan berteriak pusing. Dalam sekejap, seluruh keluargaku langsung mengerubunginya, lalu bersama-sama mendorongnya masuk ke kabin helikopter. Suamiku bahkan menepuk lenganku yang patah dan berkata pelan, “Sevy, kamu tunggu giliran berikutnya.” Putriku pun melempariku bola salju sambil berteriak, “Tante lebih butuh diselamatkan, kamu jangan rebut!” Sampai helikopter lepas landas, barulah aku melihat adikku dari balik jendela. Dia menjulurkan lidah ke arahku, dengan wajah penuh kemenangan. Jadi, dia sama sekali tidak pingsan. Setelah diselamatkan, hidupku hanya tersisa tiga hari lagi. Dalam tiga hari terakhir itu, aku memutuskan untuk memberikan semua milikku. Hanya demi mendapatkan sedikit cinta dari keluargaku.

"Kamu tau Riyanti kan?" Tidak bisa dipungkiri, mendengar nama itu lagi setelah 3 tahun menikah membuat tubuh perempuan yang tengah memakaikan baju pada putrinya sempat terhenti. Riyanti. Perempuan pemilik hati suaminya sejak dulu dan mungkin sampai sekarang. Entah karena apa hubungan mereka kandas sehingga orang tua Agam memohon padanya untuk menyelamatkan harga diri keluarga karena ditinggal oleh calon mantu mereka. Masih jelas sekali sewaktu Agam merapalkan nama Riyanti sebanyak 3 kali di depan semua orang yang menyaksikan pernikahan yang seharusnya tidak terjadi itu. "Memangnya kenapa, Bang?" tanya perempuan itu pada suaminya. Diam-diam dia mengepalkan tangannya berharap dugaan buruk dibenaknya tidak akan terjadi. "Dia telah kembali." Jawaban singkat namun menohok hati. Anjali menghembuskan napas pasrah seolah tau apa yang akan terjadi selanjutnya. "Mari kita bercerai, Anjali."

He was the boy that no one noticed. He was quiet, bland to the naked eye, a total wallflower who sat on the sidelines and lacked in eye contact with those around him though he had the type of eyes that made you feel like you could drown. He tried his best to blend into the background, but what he didn't know was that he was the only one that caught my eye. He was the most intriguing person I had ever laid eyes on even though he couldn't see me. He couldn't see anything.
