Muhammad Ayden; the untold stories
"Saya tak nak." Buat kesekian kalinya, Ayden ulang lagi jawapan dia. Wajah dia kekal kosong tak beriak.
Dahi Shila berkerut. "Kenapa awak tak nak? I told you, my parent yang nak jumpa awak!" Penat dah memaksa, Ayden ni tak dengar kata betul.
Dah setahun mereka jadi kekasih, tapi Ayden tak nak jumpa ibu bapa Shila langsung. Tak kisah lah serius atau tak, sekurang - kurangnya tunjukkan muka. Tak adalah mak dia sibuk nak kenenkan dia dengan lelaki lain.
Mata Ayden memincing merenung Shila di depan. "Saya tak nak. Awak jangan paksa saya lagi boleh?"
Dia ni tak ada niat pun nak rangka masa depan dengan Shila. Nak jumpa ibu bapa gadis itu buat apa? Buang masa sahaja.
Kaki melangkah ke luar kedai. Buat tak heran dengan Shila yang statik dekat tempat duduk. Sampai dekat motor, tiba - tiba lengan dia ditarik.
"Ayden, please? Kali ni je. Mama asik paksa saya tunjuk awak, kalau tak dia tak percaya yang saya ada someone. Please? Saya janji tak akan susahkan awak."
Tubir mata Shila dah bertakung. Tak kisah Ayden nampak dia ni cengeng sekalipun sebab dia memang terdesak nak mampus. Tak ada daya dah nak kena hadap mama papa yang suruh dia tunjuk siapa orang yang dah berjaya paut hati Shila.
Bahu Ayden jatuh. Tangan yang ditarik Shila dia rentap semula. "Perempuan memang suka menangis ke? Tak ada senjata lain?"
Perempuan, perempuan. Kalau nak minta sesuatu, menangis tu harus jika tak dapat. Ayden merapati Shila. Air mata gadis itu dia seka dengan ibu jari. "Dah, jangan menangis."
"Saya sedih mama dengan papa asik tanya pasal awak tapi awak tak nak jumpa diorang..." bibir Shila memuncung. Dalam hati sebenarnya dah berbunga sebab Ayden tolong seka air mata dia tadi.
Sekali seumur hidup je Ayden nak jadi romantik ni. Rasa sedih tadi dah hilang diganti dengan rasa bahagia. Harapnya, teman lelaki dia ni terima pujukan Shila.

Hujung bibir Ayden ternaik. Hujung kening digaru. "Tapi saya ni tak ada kerja. Mak ayah awak tak kisah ke?"
Ayah Shila tu pun dia kenal sebagai pensyarah yang pernah mengajar je. Baik bila dia hantar assignment tepat pada waktu. Hal - hal peribadi macam ni mana dia kenal.
"Sejak bila awak kisah orang nak cakap apa?" Shila kerut dahi. Mana tidaknya, sebelum ni orang kata Ayden ni sombong atau berlagak, lelaki tu buat pekak je. Tak ambik heran langsung.
Ayden senyum nipis. Helmet dipakai ke kepala. "Itu lain, ini lain." Selama ni kalau orang nak kutuk dia, orang tak pandang siapa keluarga dia.
Tapi kalau nak jumpa mak ayah Shila ni semestinya orang tua akan tanya asal - usul dan pekerjaan. Hal begitu kalau orang kutuk tak kena tempat, mengamuk juga Ayden dibuatnya.
"Ya lah. Awak nak pergi tak?" Malas nak bertekak. Shila setia menanti di tepi motosikal Ayden. Menunggu jawapan dari lelaki itu.
Mata Ayden melirik memandang wajah yang penuh mengharap itu. "Hmm okay. Nanti send location."
Senyuman Shila dah sampai ke telinga. Bahagia tak terkira bila Ayden setuju. "OMG, thank you! Okay, bye awak boleh pergi!"
Mata Ayden julingkan ke atas. Ini lah perempuan, lepas dapat apa yang dia nak dia halau kita pergi macam tu je.
Hari pertama bekerja di situ, Bella dah rasa macam kepala dia nak tercabut. Bekerja dalam pejabat dan suasana dalam penghawa dingin memang bukan apa yang Bella suka.
Bella lebih memilih aktiviti di luar. Biar pun panas terkena matahari, otak dia tak rasa berat macam duduk dalam pejabat hari itu.
"Miss Bella,"
Lamunan Bella terhenti. Dia berpusing ke belakang, memandang gerangan yang memanggil. "Yup?" Kening diangkat kepada setiausahanya, Mira.
Mira senyum. "Tomorrow ada event dekat hall. In case Miss Bella lupa? Miss Bella kena turun sapa VIP."

Bahu Bella jatuh. Tangan memicit dahi yang dah berpuluh kali berkerut hari itu. "VIP? Saya kan orang atasan, saya tak payah lah jumpa sesiapa kan?"
VIP. Bella rasa nak muntah dengar. Memang tak semua orang kaya dan berpangkat ni berlagak, buat perangai menyampah dan sebagainya. Tapi nak jumpa yang Bella boleh terima— sikit aje lah.
"Memang macam tu, Miss Bella. Miss Bella tegur je mereka then smile. Pastu boleh sambung buat kerja balik." Tenang Mira membalas.
Dia dah dua tahun bekerja dengan syarikat Dato' Haiqal. Kerana kecekapan Mira, dia akhirnya dipindahkan ke hotel baru itu sekaligus naik pangkat jadi setiausaha Bella.
Bella mengeluh. Masuk kali itu entah dah kali ke berapa dia mengeluh. "Hmm okay. Ada apa - apa lagi ke?" Wajah setiausahanya dipandang.
Laju Mira menggeleng. Dia tersenyum segaris melihat wajah serabut Bella. "Miss Bella memang tak suka kerja dekat sini ya?"
Bibir Bella mengukir senyuman. Tubuh yang tegak berdiri menghadap Mira sepenuhnya. "Yup. I hate bussiness and management, but end up I'm here heh."
Lepas degree bisnes dan pengurusan, Bella buat keras kepala tak nak sambung lebih sebab dia memang tak suka bidang bisnes.
Dia lari ke luar dan belajar tentang photography. Bila dah yakin dah beritahu tentang minatnya, Dato' Haiqal dan Datin Nora membantah keras. Macam - macam alasan diberi sampai Bella rasa dia punya minat tak penting.
Tengok lah sekarang ni. Dia tak rasa bahagia langsung dengan apa yang dia lakukan. "Tapi perkara tak sentiasa ikut rancangan kita kan?"
Mira senyum. Jauh di dalam sudut hati, dia kasihan dengan Bella. Baru satu hari mereka kenal dia macam dah dapat tangkap kesedihan gadis itu. "Dato' Haiqal mesti nak yang terbaik untuk anak dia."
Bukan untuk nama dan pangkat? Hati Bella berbisik.
"Dah pukul berapa ni? Jom balik." Mata Bella menjeling jam di tangan. Tak mahu topik tentang dia dibahas lagi,
"Haah. Miss Bella nak balik dah? Saya ada kerja dah buat sikit." Kepala Mira tundukkan sebelum mengundurkan diri. Banyak hal kena uruskan bila pengurus hotel baru masuk.
Bella anggukkan kepala. Dah jam enam setengah petang. Dia tak nak berlengah pulang ke rumah. Mahu berejam kena hadap jalan yang sesak lepas tu terlajak Maghrib.
Beg tangan di bawah meja dia ambil dan tali beg dia sangkut ke atas bahu. Telefon yang dah berejam atas meja tak berusik dia capai laju.
Bella tergerak hati nak tengok notifikasi sebelum masukkan ke dalam beg. Mana tahu ada mesej penting yang dia patut baca.
Ada.
.
Perasaan Bella bercampur aduk. Rasa gembira sikit sebab ayah dia yang sibuk memanjang mesej, tapi rasa terkilan tak dapat nak sorok.
Happy?
Heh.

A Challenge To An Arranged Marriage
"Ian? Please. Why are you not answering me?" Lisa shouted raising her voice to probably gain his attention."You want to know the truth?" Ian replied shifting his head away from the painting to look directly at her, staring into her eyes. While he started taking small steps in her direction."You really want to know why we are here." He asked again still moving forward. His voice was deep and hoarse and the way he was looking at her, made her take some steps back that was until her back hit the wall. Without saying anything he leaned forward placing both of his arms around her so that she was now trapped between him and the wall. He moved his face forward directly in front of her.Lisa could feel his hot breathe on her neck as he bent forward to place his mouth on her neck, placing a tender kiss there. Lisa took a large gulp of air trying to control the tingles, she was feeling down there."I was jealous, Lisa," He breathed out in her ears placing yet another kiss just below her earlobe. "I was jealous when you took hold of Cole's hand. I was jealous when you let that piece of shit place his hands on you. I was jealous when you danced with him. I was jealous, Lisa, very jealous." He continued as he removed his mouth from her neck, leaning forward to stare directly into her eyes."So let me tell you the truth. I am a very possessive man, Lisa and I don't share what's mine. And when it comes to you I certainly can't control myself." He concluded as he closed the gap and placed his lips on her.

"Logan." She calls out to me and I squeeze my eyes shut. "Tell me, what do you want," she whispers into my ear. She places a kiss on my neck, just below my jaw. My fucking sweet spot. With a moan, "stop it," I demand. I put my hands on her lovely wide hips to push her away, but I only end up pulling her closer. "I'm m-married. I l-love my wife!" I stutter, wishing away my stiff hard on. "If you loved her so much, than why are you here with me, Logan. Tell me what you want." The way she says my name, she takes my breath away. "I-I want..." Tell her you want her to stay away. Tell her that you want nothing to do to her, I chant in my head. "I want... you." A groan falls from my lips as she grasps the back of my neck to pull me down to her level before putting her luscious lips in mine. __________Beginning Date: August 2019End Date: -#3 in Scandal - 2020#2 in Cheating - 2020#8 in affair - 2020

The Mischievous Mrs. Maxfield
***The wrong girl is sometimes The Right One.*** Charlotte Samuels thought she'd be stuck waiting tables at Marlow's until all her debts are paid off-in about ten thousand years or so. She definitely didn't expect a marriage proposal from the arrogant Brandon Maxfield who was blackmailed by his father to make her his wife if he didn't want his least favorite cousin to run Maxfield Industries. Charlotte's instinct was to say HELL NO! but she's stumped by a few obstacles: 1.) His old man Martin Maxfield is dear to her heart and has been recently deteriorating in health. 2.) She gets a million dollars if she stays married to Brandon for a year. 3.) She would rather like the opportunity to teach the attractive but awfully rude man a few lessons he didn't think he needed from a 'teenage gold-digger' which was his term of endearment for her on their first date-er, business meeting. So what's a girl got to do, right? Sure, she's young and a little rough around the edges but there's something her would-be husband didn't know about her yet-she's nothing like he ever expected. Thrust into the glitzy world a standard-issue Mrs. Maxfield would fit perfectly and rule with impeccable social grace, Charlotte will either have to force herself into the mold or break free of it, risking what little she has left for everything that she can gain.*** Copyright © 2014 by Nina Tippett.
