Sebuah kisah tentang mama yang sangat menginspirasi. 

Terlahir sebagai seorang gadis dengan kehidupan yang sederhana tak membuat saya untuk tidak menikmati artinya kebahagiaan hidup. Saya sangat bahagia dengan apa yang saya punya, salah satunya mama. Mama telah banyak mengajarkan saya arti hidup yang sebenarnya, satu diantaranya adalah GIVING (Memberi).

Suatu hari, saat sedang makan di sebuah rumah makan....
Ketika sedang asyiknya menikmati makan siang, ada seorang peminta-minta ke sebelah meja kami. Mama segera meminta saya untuk memberi, namun saya sebenarnya ingin menolak.  Ya, dikarenakan mama menyuruhnya, ya saya lakukan. Lalu saya menjelaskan alasan mengapa saya tidak memberi. Bagi saya, memberi sebaiknya langsung ke panti asuhan ataupun kepada yang memang sungguh membutuhkan. Hal itu karena saya berpikir bahwa bagaimana jika ada 5 atau 10  orang yang datang menemui kita dan meminta, bagaimana jika mereka hanya disuruh, bagaimana jika mereka menggunakannya untuk membeli rokok dsb. Bagaimana? Mengapa?!

Mama kemudian terdiam dan menatap saya.
" Anakku sayang, memberilah. Memberilah dengan tulus. "
"Memberi takkan segera membuat uangmu ludes."
"Memberi takkan segera membuatmu jatuh miskin."
"Ingatlah, berkat yang kita punya tidak sepenuhnya milik kita, ada hal yang Tuhan titipkan melalui kita untuk diberikan kepada sesama."
"Bukankah Tuhan sudah memberi banyak hal dalam hidupmu, tidakkah kamu mau berbagi dan memberi bagi sesamu?"
"Ingatlah anakku untuk memberi"

Sebuah kata, GIVING....
Saya kemudian terdiam dan berefleksi dengan apa yang saya pikirkan selama ini.
Terimakasih mama untuk sebuah pelajaran hidup ini.

🤎 I came inside and saw him sleeping peacefully. I sat down on the floor near his side of the bed. I waved my hands infront of his face to confirm whether he was sleeping. After getting the confirmation, I cried once again sitting there on the floor, still in the bridal dress. "Why did you do this Ram? Why? You deserve better Mr. Ram. Not only you, infact every man in this world deserves better if the bride infront of them is me. Why did you ruin your life by your own hands? Say me." I said in a low voice and I cried even more. "I know you hate me and even I hate you. But.... But why did you marry me. K...kalank hu mein Ram. I'll never be able to heal you when me myself I am lost. I cannot give you the love you deserve Mr. Ram. No one deserves to marry a girl like me." I said and cried even more and don't know when sleep engulfed me. 🤎 ABHIRAM VERMA : One of the famous billionaire CEO, underworld don, India's Mafia king. Ruthless, cold, scary, and mostly POWERFUL. LAVANYA GOWDA : Beautiful, sweet, kind, sassy and savage (if needed), angry bird, caring, to be precise, one and only piece. 🤎 Right now Lavanya is a girl who is completely broken. Who thinks herself as a disgrace to her family even if they love her unconditionally. She thinks that no one deserves a girl like her. Abhiram hates her thinking she is the one behind his trauma, which made him cold and ruthless. But is that true? He hates Lavanya to the core while she doesn't even know that he exists in this world. What will happen when he learns the truth? Will he be able to heal her? Will he be able to break all her walls? Will he be able to make her realise that she is not any kalank (stigma) but as pure as the purity itself? Will he be successful in making her realise that............. "Kalank nahi ishq hai kaajal piya" ?? 🤎

Ever wonder how your supposed best day of life will turn into a lifelong nightmare. Two people, two different worlds yet bound by the same emotion, "HATE" and "same loved ones". Marriage is intended to be an eternal bond filled with love and happiness. This was far from the truth for Asmaira and Amaan. Two broken souls entangle in the game of destiny which ended their dream of everlasting love. For one, it was a journey of regret which she has to live for the rest of her life. But why?. For other, he was forced yet he promised to seek revenge for sure., for seeking "Her" place. Who is Amaan referring to as "Her"? Who is this "loved ones" that connects both Asmara and Amaan and why do they hate each other so much without even meeting each other? "Please......." the only word that she could manage to say while trying to get out of his grip and sobbing. "Please......Let..........Me..........Go, " she stammered in between her hiccup, shaking her head with pleading eyes and folded hands. "Don't be afraid honey! I realized my mistake of not accepting you as my wife and to mark the start of our marriage how about I gift you something, " He whispered while leaning close to her ear emphasizing on the word 'gift'. Sensing her fright, he placed his hand on her waist while using the other to stroke her cheek, "how about giving you a baby tonight?". He spoke with an evil smirk. " I know it is your first time and I promise to be gentle with you, My Wife" Note: This is the first draft of the story and since then had not been edited as I'm busy writing my other stories on "Booknet." If you find typos or grammatical mistake or narration is not perfect, kindly ignore since your feedback about it would be of no use as you are reading an unedited story. I would edit it once the sequel to Kabir Hashmi is finished. And yes please be considerate when you comment. First, it's a fictional story and second, it's someone's hardwork. #5 in torment-Sept 2020 #2 in torment-23rd Sept 2020

After the 3 weeks orientation program of the NYSC, I was posted to a secondary school at Oyan for the one year service. I was given a room on the school compound at the Corpers' quarters. On getting to On getting to Oyan, I started looking for a Pentecostal church where I could be worshipping, and soon I was able to find one. Shortly after I started worshipping in the church, I joined the choir. Fortunately, it was at the time when the choir leader just left the church, and there was nobody to coordinate the members. Before I knew it, I was made the choir leader after being interviewed by the pastor, Pastor Williams. I was loved by everybody in the church, especially the choristers, because of my unique voice. Whenever I sing or lead a song, the whole congregation has a way of murmuring "Huuuuunnnnn!" with a sigh of satisfaction when they hear my voice. Most of the choir members were younger than me, so they call me "aunty" or "Sister Sewa". One of them was Bode, who used to play keyboard for us in the church. He was so gifted when it comes to instruments; there was no instrument he couldn't play. I always felt the presence of God whenever he was on the keyboard. I was named Adesewa after my late grandmother, who passed away shortly before I was born. My dad loved his mum so much, and hence transferred the love to me, believing that his late mother was the one who came back, more so, according to him, I was the mama's carbon copy. It was after he became saved, that he knew he was wrong. My second name was Yetunde. My dad saw me as perfect. Anything I did or said was right, even when I myself knew I was wrong. In a nutshell, I was his favorite. When my mum noticed that daddy was treating me like the apple of his eyes, she wasn't taking things easy with me at all. She spanks me at every slight mistake I made, mostly when my dad wasn't at home.

Previous Title : Tum Jo Nahi Toh Kuch Bhi Nahi --- He sat emotionlessly, his gaze filled with anger as he looked at her. She met his eyes, confused and unable to decipher what was going on in his mind. The mantras echoed around them, the ceremony unfolding in slow motion. He went through the motions, following the priest's instructions, but his mind was far away, lost in a storm of resentment. "I can't believe you did this," he seethed inwardly. "I thought you were different, someone who could understand me, but I was wrong. I wanted to marry her, to build a life with her, but you destroyed everything. How could you stoop so low? She asked me to marry you for the sake of my family, for my father's happiness, but I can't. I will never marry someone like you." Suddenly, he stood up in the middle of the ceremony, his voice cutting through the mantras. "I can't go through with this marriage," he declared, leaving her shocked. ... She cried silently, trapped in her helplessness as he accused her of a betrayal she had never committed. All she had ever done was love him-deeply, unwaveringly. And that, she realized, was the gravest mistake of her life. Yet, despite the pain, she couldn't bring herself to hate him; her love for him was too profound. Join her on a journey where love speaks not in words but in silence. Discover how she finally receives the love she deserves, all without uttering a single word. For though she was mute, her eyes spoke volumes, revealing the depths of her heart. _________________________________ #1 Indianlovestory on 5.10.20 WINNER:- * Ist position YOURS CHOICE AWARDS * 2nd position in INFINITY AWARDS (Reader's choice) * Best emotional story in SWASAN FAMILY AWARDS ( 2nd ) * SWASAN NEWBIE AWARDS (consolation prize). _________________________________
