Muhammad Ayden; the untold stories
"Tak nak masuk ke?" Bella mengusik.
Dahi Ayden berkerut. "Kau gila? Kena tangkap basah nanti naya je." Sial punya soalan. Kalau tanya salah orang, memang laju je akan terima pelawaan Bella tu.
Tawa Bella terhambur. Dia pun tak cukup gila nak betul - betul pelawa anak teruna orang masuk rumah. "Gurau je lah. Thank you hantar saya balik."
"Hmm welcome." Ayden membalas senada. Cepat lah anak dara orang ni masuk dalam rumah dan tutup pintu. Ayden nak balik dan berehat.
Tengok Ayden yang masih berdiri depan pintu walaupun Bella dah cakap terima kasih tadi membuatkan Bella kerut dahi. "Excuse me? Bila awak nak balik rumah?"
Mata Ayden memandang wajah bingung Bella. Rasa malu pula nak jawab soalan mudah Bella. "Aku balik lepas kau masuk dan tutup pintu."
Sebelah kening Bella angkat. Dalam hati Tuhan je tahu rasa terharu yang buat dia rasa nak melompat depan Ayden sekarang. "Lah, ingatkan nak masuk sekali tadi."
"Perangai jangan tak reti malu sangat eh? Kalau lelaki lain dah lama terima tawaran kau lepas tu masuk je. Kau nak buat apa nanti?" Wajah berubah tegang.
Bila fikir balik, Bella ni selamba sangat. Percaya je Ayden ni lelaki baik yang sanggup berdiri depan pintu rumah yang terbuka luas tu.
Kalau diajaknya lelaki yang kurang berakal, mahu laju kaki melangkah ke dalam. Dalam dunia tak semua orang baik. Hidup kena berjaga - jaga juga.
Namun wajah tegang Ayden sikit pun tak buat Bella gerun. Malah dia mengukir senyuman sambil menyendeng di tepi pintu. "Awak risaukan saya ke?"
Sedar yang Bella seolah - olah sengaja menjerat dia, Ayden memutar bebola mata ke atas. "Mampus kau lah. Malas aku nak layan."
Tubuh berpaling ke belakang. Sia - sia je jadi prihatin kalau akhirnya dia juga yang kena sakat dengan Bella. Huh, perempuan tu memang tak reti malu.

Tanpa sedar, pipi Ayden dah merah. Kulit putih dia buat kesan merah tu mudah terlihat. Bella yang di depan pintu tersenyum senget. Bukan dia tak nampak pipi lelaki tu membahang merah. Tak boleh nak usik sikit dah malu.
Baru beberapa langkah Ayden berjalan, Bella melaung nama lelaki itu balik. "Ayden! Come here!"
Ayden tayang muka nak bunuh orang. Muka teruja Bella dipandang geram. "Kau nak apa perempuan?"
Ya Tuhan, minah ni sumpah menguji kesabaran Ayden.
Bella menyengih. "Awak nak... jadi suami saya tak?" Tanpa bernoktah dan gementar, soalan itu dituju buat Ayden.
Kalau tadi Ayden rasa menyampah, kini dia terkedu. Mata terkelip - kelip memandang Bella yang berdiri di tepi pintu. "Kau-"
"Kalau tak nak, tak apa. Saya cuba je." Cuba menguji sama ada dia cukup kuat ke tak nak ujarkan soalan yang tempah maut tu.
Bella senyum segaris. "Tak paksa pun awak terima saya. Awak lupakan je apa yang saya tanya tadi kalau tak suka saya."
Tak mahulah keadaan jadi kekok untuk mereka berdua gara - gara soalan yang mengejut dari Bella. Kalau Ayden tak nak terima, Bella terpaksa terima walaupun agak memeritkan hati.
Ayden menelan air liur. Tangan mengusap belakang leher sambil melarikan pandangan dari menatap wajah Bella. "Aku-"
"Jangan buat sesuatu yang Ayden akan sesali macam ayah ye?"
Nafas dihela. "Aku... nak jadi suami kau."
Ringkas, namun berjaya buat bibir Bella mengukir senyuman lebar. Rasa bahagia yang teramat.
Malam hari ulangtahun Dato' Haiqal dan Datin Nora disambut meriah seperti biasa. Banglo mewah mereka dipenuhi tetamu yang rata - ratanya merupakan orang yang berharta.
Husna yang diheret secara paksa oleh Naura, hanya duduk di kerusi yang terletak di depan kolam renang. Dia tak suka suasana di dalam banglo tersebut.
Malah dia juga tak suka berada di situ. Datin Nora dan Dato' Haiqal bukannya sukakan Husna. Nanti dia dikata mengambil kesempatan di atas kesenangan Naura macam selalu.

"Alone?"
Husna mengangkat wajah. Memandang gerangan yang bertanya tadi. "Ada nampak orang lain ke?" Sarkastik.
Diri yang ceria dan mudah bergaul dulu hilang selepas mengalami perkara trauma di dalam kehidupan dia. Pertama, mencintai lelaki yang menggunakan dia sebagai tempat melupakan orang yang dah tiada.
Akhirnya, cinta Husna menikam diri sendiri dengan penceraian yang bukan salahnya. Perkahwinan kedua bersama Fahran, abang teman baik yang disangka lelaki idaman— hancur kerana ekspetasi.
Lelaki yang berbicara lembut dan nampak romantik rupanya lelaki panas baran yang kaki pukul. Sehingga anak yang dikandungnya mati dalam perut kerana binasa lelaki itu.
Dua lelaki itu kejam.
Hidup Husna dah cukup traumatik bila berkait dengan lelaki. Dia dah lama tekad tak mahu tunjuk minat dengan lelaki.
"Garangnya you ni. I datang nak teman je." Lelaki itu tersengih. Sumpah dia memang tak ada niat yang tak baik dekat wanita itu.
Dia cuma kasihan lepas nampak Husna duduk sendirian di tepi kolam. Dia pun bukannya berminat nak masuk ke dalam. Elok dia larikan diri sebelum si ayah nak kenenkan dia dengan perempuan yang entah dari mana.
Husna buat muka menyampah. "Dengar suara pun dah tahu jenis kaki perempuan." Selamba dia melontarkan ayat.
Rahang si lelaki jatuh. Dia datang dengan niat baik nak teman perempuan tu, dia kena tuduh kaki perempuan pula. "Manis betul mulut I sampai dituduh kaki perempuan."
Mata Husna berputar ke atas. Jus oren diteguk tanpa menghiraukan lelaki yang berdiri tegak sebelah kerusi yang dia duduk. Nanti kalau dah nampak jalan pulang tu pergi lah.
"My name is Jade and I'm not a playboy." Akhirnya dia memperkenalkan diri. Jade tanpa segan silu menarik kerusi dan duduk di sebelah Husna.
Dahi Husna berkerut. "Ada I tanya?" Punggung diangkat. Husna perlu pergi dari situ dengan segera. Dia tak mahu jatuh ke dalam tangan buaya tembaga.
"Husna!" Nama yang dilaung buat Husna hampir nak menyumpah.
Naura berlari anak ke arah kawannya. Bibir mengukir senyuman seperti biasa. "Husna, apasal kau dekat luar ni? Aku cari kau tau tadi."
Mata Jade lama memerhati wanita yang berdiri depan Husna itu. Dengan rambut keperangan yang beralun sehingga ke paras bahu dan pakaian mahal yang sekali pandang dah tahu.
Jade tak salah lagi. "Are you Naura, Dato' Haiqal's first daughter?" Tanya Jade dengan senyuman senget.
Naura Dato' Haiqal. Idaman para lelaki kerana kecantikan dan kewibawaan di dalam dunia perniagaan. Jade pun hanya kenal melalui nama. Dia belum pernah ketemu kakak sulung Bella secara berdepan.
Bibir Naura mengukir senyuman manis. "Hai. Yes I am Naura. I kenal you ke?" Manalah tahu lelaki ni sebahagian dari rakan perniagaan ayahnya.
Laju Jade gelengkan kepala. "Tak. I am one of your fans." Tenang Jade menjawab. Serentak buat Husna julingkan mata ke atas.
Umur yang dah semakin tua buat dia loya tekak dengar manusia bermanis - manisan. "Naura, aku balik dulu eh."
Naura yang leka dengan Jade hanya mengangguk. "Balik lah."
Husna mencebik. Kawan jenis apalah ni lepas jumpa lelaki terus lupa kawan sendiri. Sambil mengomel sendirian, dia berjalan meninggalkan Naura bersama Jade.
Ketika dia melangkah ke pintu keluar banglo Dato' Haiqal, nama yang disebut oleh seseorang buat Husna berhenti melangkah.
"Ayden, habiskan kek ni."
Wajah lelaki yang dipanggil itu direnung. Husna pincingkan mata. Lelaki kacak bernama Ayden itu sekaligus buat dia rasa rindu dengan kedua orang yang pernah dia sayangi itu.
Ayden anak Adrian.
Tak sedar lelaki yang dipandang itulah anak kepada lelaki pertama yang menyakitkan hatinya dulu.

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.

*Editing*"Jas...Jasper," I gasped as he pulled his slick fingers from between my legs. Would he finally take me? At one time in my life, I could never dream of submitting myself to Orc, but Jasper Bloodborne, chief of the Northern Orruk horde, had his grip on my heart. "Please," I whispered, begging him once more. I could feel his bulge grow, digging into my mound. He released his soft lips from my breast and looked at me with pure lust. He reached down and undid the top button of his pants, looking at me as he did. He undid another and lowered his hand to undo the last button. He paused in suspense. "Are you sure you are ready for me little warrior?" He said as the corner of his lip curled.I look back up with pleading eyes. I nodded, and he undid the last button. His girth burst forth fully erect. Oh, gods, he's so massive. I didn't imagine he'd be this huge. "That will never fit."
