"Awak sudi nak jadi isteri saya?" "Eee... dahlah tanya tak romantik. Kasar." "Nak ke tak nak?" "Nak. Tapi dengan satu syarat. Kalau saya jadi isteri awak, mampu ke awak membahagiakan saya?" Park Jimin. Ego, sombong, bongkak, hati beku dan yang paling aku tak tahan mulut dia betul-betul laser. Aku betul-betul tak tahu kenapa dia nak sangat aku jadi isteri dia, sedangkan kami berjumpa tak sampai satu jam. Lelaki sekarang, motif dia bermacam-macam. Kadang-kala kahwin bukan sebab cinta, tapi nafsu. Cuma.. kes Jimin. Dia lain sikit. Diam-diam dia, dia romantik sebenarnya. "Muka bekas isteri saya sama macam awak. Sumpah." Dia duda sebenarnya. Tapi cara dia seperti lelaki bujang. Aku terkahwin dengan lelaki dudalah selama ni? Hmm... tak dapat yang fresh, yang kitar semula pun bolehlah Haerin! Suatu hari tu... tiba-tiba Jimin tanya. "Saya teringin nak ada anak." Aku terkedu. Dia.. dia nak anak. Tapi aku dan dia tak pernah... hmm. "Hanya satu cara je untuk awak nakkan anak." "Apa dia?" "Sentuh saya." "No way. Saya tak akan sentuh perempuan lain melainkan bekas isteri saya." Aku kecewa dan terkilan. Aku dah agak dah. Dia sebenarnya mempergunakan aku je dalam perkahwinan ni. Sebab dengan adanya aku, dia boleh melepaskan rasa rindu terhadap bekas isteri dia. Aku tahan dan sakit menahan perasaan aku. "Awak asyik fikir perasaan awak je! Habis perasaan saya macam mana?! Saya cintakan awak, Jimin. Saya cinta awak!" "Diam, sebelum saya ambil keputusan untuk kita berpisah." Betul.. dia sangat ego. Aku tahu, dia cintakan aku juga cuma dia ego. "Untuk apa saya kahwin dengan awak kalau saya tak pernah sekalipun rasa bahagia?" Tidak boleh tidak, aku mesti bawa lari Jimin dari kisah silamnya. Kerana aku adalah kisah barunya. Nantikan...

He lit his cigarette, I lit nothing. He drank alcohol, I drank water. He smirked, I smiled. He didn't love me, I didn't love him. He and I together wouldn't last a day. And then the game started... He said he found me intriguing, unique, and interesting because I didn't swoon over him. "You and me Grey, let's play a game. We'll date and in three months time I promise you will fall for me. When you fall in love with me between that time span, I win. If in any way you were to win I'll give up all the alcohol, cigarettes, and player ways." It was a game I wasn't willing to lose, but all games had accidents and consequences. It takes a broken heart to know how to break a heart.

Aku tak cantik. Aku tak macam perempuan lain. Tapi kenapa aku mesti rasa benda yang macam perempuan-perempuan cantik rasa? Rasa dihargai. Rasa disayangi. Rasa di... dicintai. Aku dapat rasa sebab seorang lelaki. Kalau bukan dia yang ajar aku erti cinta, mungkin aku tak akan rasa perasaan istimewa ni sampai bila-bila. Dan kerana dia jugalah aku rasa beberapa perasaan lain yang memang menyeksa jiwa. Rasa serba salah. Rasa takut. Rasa tak layak memegang status isteri untuk dia. Sebab apa?

Sehinggalah aku diberikan kekuatan lagi untuk bangkit semula. Dengan kebaikan yang telah dia berikan untuk aku, sehinggakan parut simbahan asid oleh seorang wanita suatu masa dahulu kini sudah hilang dek pembedahan, aku kembali yakin untuk hidup. Aku yakin untuk bergelar isteri kepada dia. Tapi, bukan semudah itu. "Ceraikan dia, Baekhyun. Ibu tak nak anak perempuan yang pernah nak merampas suami ibu dulu bercampur darah dengan keturunan kita!" Mampukan aku? Nantikan...

"Maybe she's not here, maybe she's out there somewhere in this world. I want to find her." I shook my head and chuckled, "You're crazy, Niall." "Maybe you're right. I am crazy.

So are you coming or not?" ----------------- Peyton has always been in love with Niall. There's one problem: he is her best friend.

"You're so lame." Alexander comments as he walks into the kitchen. "Shut up, I don't care." I scoff as I continue to make myself a sandwich. "You know, maybe guys will notice you more once you stop wearing your father's clothes." He teases and at that moment, I turn around to face him and give him a fuming glare. "Leave me alone." I hiss through gritted teeth before storming out of the kitchen, leaving behind my sandwich. ✕❤︎✕❤︎✕❤︎ A 16 year old girl named Courtney is not your average teenager.
