"Maafkan saya sir,sudah lancang menyentuh anda...hmm... Kalau anda mengira saya akan takut dengan penampilan anda dan berkata buruk tentang diri anda,,anda tidak perlu khawatir karena saya pernah melihat yang lebih buruk dari pada apa yang anda alami sekarang sir." ucapnya bangkit dari duduknya seraya berjalan menuju keluar ruangan sedangkan pria didepannya yang masih terdiam ditempatnya... 'Bodohnya aku kenapa aku melakukan hal itu di interview pertamaku..dia pasti sangat marah padaku' gumamnya pelan seraya menunduk malu berjalan kearah pintu keluar.
'Apa yang baru saja dia katakan?... Jadi kesan ini yang dimaksud Ken tadi... Tunggu mau kemana wanita itu.'batinnya dan langsung sadar akan keberadaan wanita tadi..tatapannya mengarah pada wanita yang hendak membuka kenop pintu itu.
"Tunggu... Ms. Ashford kau diterima disini...kau mulai bisa bekerja hari ini..." teriaknya pelan pada wanita itu.
Wanita itu hendak membuka pintu tiba tiba langsung berbalik dan menatap kaget kearah pria itu.
"Anda serius sir?aku diterima..." tanyanya, anggukan tanda iya dari pria didepannya ini sontak membuatnya tersenyum.
"Terima kasih sir..saya akan bekerja dengan sungguh sungguh...lalu saya bekerja sebagai diposisi apa,sir?"
"Kau bekerja sebagai asisten pribadiku yang menggantikan sementara posisi Daniel...sekertaris ku akan memberitahukan jobdeskmu nanti..sekarang kau bisa keluar Ms. Ashford" ...
"Baik terima kasih sir,sekali lagi terima kasih dan saya minta maaf untuk kejadian tadi." wanita itupun keluar ruangan dan langsung menuju ke Ms. Jane sekertaris yang akan memberitahu kan jobdesknya.
Sementara itu Hunter berusaha menetralisir debaran jantung nya akibat sentuhan wanita tadi.. Sungguh ini adalah pertama kalinya ia mendapat sentuhan lembut penuh kasih sayang seperti wanita tadi berikan berbeda saat bersama Karen kekasihnya dulu... 'Anastasia Ashford..Ana ya...' gumamnya sedikit melamun.
Lamunan pria itu pecah ketika sahabatnya datang.." heii Hunt..kau menerimanya bekerja bukan,,aku bertemu dengannya didepan dengan Jane sekertarismu itu."

Malam semakin dingin di kota New Jersey,wanita itu kembali memeluk mantelnya seraya berjalan menuju halte. Hari pertamanya bekerja tidaklah terlalu berat sebagai seorang asisten pribadi seorang CEO diperusahaan besar seperti Hunter House Corp.... Baru sehari ia menjadi asisten pribadi, saat makan siang banyak rekan kerjanya yang membicarakan tentang CEO mereka yang jarang keluar ruangannya kecuali makan siang dan jam pulang kerja..
Ana mungkin tidak terlalu peduli pembicaraan rekan kerjanya yang lain tentang CEO nya itu... Ia mengerti kenapa bos nya itu jarang keluar ruangan,penampilannya yang berbeda mungkin akan menggemparkan perusahaan jika ua sering memunculkan dirinya dipublik ..tiba tiba ia mengingat kembali saat ia tidak sadar berjalan dan langsung mengelus wajah bos nya itu... 'Astaga...sepertinya aku harus mengontrol sifat aneh ku ini nantinya...sungguh aku malu,semoga saja bos melupakan hal itu..' ucapnya sendiri seraya menggelengkan kepalanya.
Malam ini keadaan halte sangatlah sepi,ia duduk dengan santai sambil menunggu bis nya datang... Sesekali ia melihat ponselnya dan tersenyum ketika ada pesan masuk dari sahabatnya Ellen Thompson yang sekarang sedang menjalani pemotretan di Manchester,Inggris.
Ellen :
Congrats my bestie,kau berhasil.. Sepupu ku bilang kau diterima dan langsung bekerja bukan...setelah aku kembali ke New Jersey kau harus mentraktirku dan Ken okey...kau tau aku sangat merindukan sahabat ku ini..sampaikan salamku untuk ayahmu ya An...Love you My Bestie...
'El.. Dasar kau ini...aku juga merindukan mu El..' ucapnya seraya tersenyum...
Tiba tiba dari arah kanannya datang 3 orang pria setengah mabuk berjalan kearah halte.. Ana berharap mereka hanya lewat saja tanpa mengganggu.. Ana kembali memeluk mantelnya dan menatap ke bawah sepatunya menghiraukan pria pria itu..

Sialnya salah seorang pria mabuk itu melihat Ana duduk di halte,ia pun berjalan ke arahnya diikuti temannya yang lain...
"Hei nona mau kami temani...disini sangat dingin sekali...kau tau bir ini bisa menghangatkanmu.. Atau kau mau kami yang menghangatkan mu nona manis.." ucap salah satu pria mabuk seraya mengulurkan bir ke arah Ana dan tertawa dengan kedua temannya yang lain..
Mungkin Ana termasuk wanita yang pemberani tapi di situasi seperti ini berbeda.. Ia sama sekali tidak ingin mengambil resiko dengan orang pemabuk apalagi ini 3 orang...ia hanya berharap bis nya cepat datang.
Tiba tiba sebuah tangan menyentuh paha Ana,sontak ia berdiri dan menatap pria kurang ajar itu..
"Don't touch me...lebih baik kalian pergi atau aku panggil polisi sekarang " ucapnya sedikit gemetar.
"Kami suka dengan nona manis yang bersemangat ini..." seringaian aneh muncul di wajah ketiga pria mabuk itu.
Ketiga pria itu mulai mendekati Ana,Ana pun mundur perlahan tetapi kalah cepat ketika sebuah tangan memegang lengannya..hal itu membuat Ana memberontak.
"Don't touch me you jerk... Don't touch me or I'll call police now..." teriaknya seraya melepaskan lengannya dari tangan pemabuk itu.
Masih dalam keadaan memberontak,tiba tiba salah seorang pria mabuk itu terhempas ke jalan ketika sebuah lengan kokoh memukul jatuh pria pemabuk itu.

The Emperor's Concubine
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] The heroine is good and the villainess is evil. That was the absolute truth. That rule was undeniable as well as the fact that only the heroine would receive true love and her happy ending. Likewise, the malicious villainess would always suffer and leave the stage to clear the path for the perfect heroine in the end. So, for Blanche it felt like her world came crashing around her when she remembered the truth about her life. As the villainess in the typical romance novel “To Be Empress” she was fated to be condemned and abandoned by her lover. No matter how devoted she was to Theodore Estien, the emperor of Artias, she would only be the bratty concubine that would obstruct the heroine, who happened to be Theodore's lawful wife and the empress. In the end, the villainess would be deserted and executed. It was destined to happen like this, and yet she couldn't give up. She had to change the future. Preventing the romance between the main characters would get her killed. Much like trying to steer away from the enemies' intrigues, in which she was already caught up, would. But neither the heroine nor the emperor's political rivals would change the fact that Blanche loved the man that was supposed to be the heroine's. And no matter what happened she would always stay by her lover's side. So she wouldn't just follow the book's storyline and let her own doom arrive. Blanche would survive while trying to suppress all of the selfish desires that had made her the villainess. But was she truly fine with that? Did she not desire more than just surviving? Did she even have the right? Could the villainess ask for a happy end? Was she too brazen if she just wanted to stay with the man she loved and receive his affection? And wasn't there a bit more to this novel than she remembered? She didn't know and in the end that mattered little when the world around her changed with each day as more and more questions about the future and the past arose. "The Emperor's Concubine" will be updated thrice a week (usually on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays) *The Profanity tag was added due to the characters' occasional swearing, which should not happen too often.
