Sarange Heta Uriga Manna

Mozaik Tanya

Bagaimana jika cinta bukan sekadar rasa, melainkan sebuah perjalanan yang penuh luka? Bagaimana jika cinta adalah mozaik-tersebar dalam kepingan kenangan yang tak selalu utuh, yang sering kali tajam dan memberi luka? Gavrielle, gadis muda yang haus akan makna, pernah percaya bahwa cinta adalah genggaman tangan yang erat, suara yang menghangatkan, dan keberanian untuk tetap tinggal. Ia menemukannya dalam diri Althias, kakak kelas yang menjadi pelita di tengah ragu. Namun, dunia tak selalu memberi ruang bagi dua hati yang ingin bersatu. Orang tuanya melihat cinta itu sebagai duri, sebagai pemberontakan yang harus dicabut hingga ke akar. Maka, dengan paksa, ia diasingkan ke kota yang tak menawarkan apa pun selain sepi. Di Surabaya, Gavrielle adalah burung tanpa sarang, melayang tanpa arah, mencari sesuatu yang bisa mengisi kehampaan. Lalu, ia bertemu Gallen Adhaniell Wijaya-sebuah nama yang muncul dari layar ponsel, dari percakapan tanpa wajah, dari pesan-pesan yang menjelma candu. Gallen, dengan caranya yang dingin dan tak terbaca, menarik Gavrielle ke dalam pusaran yang lebih dalam dari sekadar cinta. Bersamanya, Gavrielle belajar bahwa rindu bisa berubah menjadi luka, bahwa pengorbanan tak selalu berbalas pelukan. Ketika cinta berubah menjadi jerat, Gavrielle berjalan terlalu jauh, menyeberangi batas yang seharusnya dijaga. Yogyakarta menjadi saksi atas keberaniannya yang membabi buta, atas keputusasaan yang menuntunnya pada sesuatu yang tak seharusnya terjadi. Dan ketika semuanya terkuak, Gavrielle harus menghadapi konsekuensi yang lebih besar dari sekadar kehilangan. Cinta, ternyata, tak selalu datang sebagai jawaban. Kadang, ia adalah pertanyaan yang menggantung di langit hati, tak terjawab, tak terurai-hanya menjadi mozaik tanya yang berserak dalam ingatan.

After Transmigration, I Refuse To Be Bullied So I Beat Them Up Instead

Her father looked at her round face and three chins in disgust. "I knew you were a curse the moment I set my eyes on you. You're the reason your mother's dead and you're the reason my business isn't doing so well. You've grown so fat that all your clothes don't fit anymore. Have a look at Ming Ming. At such a young age, she's already a model in the number one Modelling agency in the country and you're asking me for some money to buy clothes. I kept your mother's clothes in the basement downstairs. You can wear some of them since your clothes don't fit and don't bother me about money again." Her childhood friend had returned from abroad to marry her after so many years and had taken one nasty look at her. "When I saw you years back, I thought you'd still be as beautiful as you were. You've become so fat and ugly Jiang Meiying. The sight of your round face and three chins are unpleasant to look at. It will be a bad reputation to get married to someone like you. Your sister, Jiang Ming on the other hand is quite beautiful and very popular. She's not 18 yet but I'm willing to wait until she's ready. I would like to marry her." Her sister, after being engaged to 'her' supposed husband said to her while smirking at her sorry state. "Don't feel too bad that I'll soon get engaged to Zhang Wei, Jiang Meiying. I hear the Zhang family is offering to let you marry their other son, Zhang Hien. He's just as handsome as Zhang Wei, but he's just got a little disability, that's all. It also turns out that before he lost the use of his legs, he had gone bankrupt, and is fending off MY Fiancee's money. So you see Jiang Meiying, you both make a good couple. You're just as useless as he is." Her step-mother was already scheming against her when her husband moved in with them because he couldn't afford a house. "We just have to convince your father to throw her out of the mansion and that won't be a problem. The college entrance exam is coming up and I'm certain she would fail badly. Once he sees there's no chance she'd go to college, he'd disown her without a thought." The former Jiang Meiying was long dead, but the new Meiying was not going to stand there, and get conspired against anymore. There was just one little problem before exacting her revenge. To enable her earn more EXP to gain life points in this manna-lacking world, she had to earn money. {One dollar costs 1 EXP} How was she going to earn money when no one likes the sight of her three chins? Sigh. Time to start loosing weight. Book cover is mine Picture gotten from Pinterest

The Gospel of John

The Gospel according to John is quite different in character from the three synoptic gospels. It is highly literary and symbolic. It does not follow the same order or reproduce the same stories as the synoptic gospels. To a much greater degree, it is the product of a developed theological reflection and grows out of a different circle and tradition. It was probably written in the 90s of the first century. The Gospel of John begins with a magnificent prologue, which states many of the major themes and motifs of the gospel, much as an overture does for a musical work. The prologue proclaims Jesus as the preexistent and incarnate Word of God who has revealed the Father to us. The rest of the first chapter forms the introduction to the gospel proper and consists of the Baptist’s testimony about Jesus (there is no baptism of Jesus in this gospel—John simply points him out as the Lamb of God), followed by stories of the call of the first disciples, in which various titles predicated of Jesus in the early church are presented. The gospel narrative contains a series of “signs”—the gospel’s word for the wondrous deeds of Jesus. The author is primarily interested in the significance of these deeds, and so interprets them for the reader by various reflections, narratives, and discourses. The first sign is the transformation of water into wine at Cana (Jn 2:1–11); this represents the replacement of the Jewish ceremonial washings and symbolizes the entire creative and transforming work of Jesus. The second sign, the cure of the royal official’s son (Jn 4:46–54) simply by the word of Jesus at a distance, signifies the power of Jesus’ life-giving word. The same theme is further developed by other signs, probably for a total of seven. The third sign, the cure of the paralytic at the pool with five porticoes in chap. 5, continues the theme of water offering newness of life. In the preceding chapter, to the woman at the well in Samaria Jesus had offered living water springing up to eternal life, a symbol of the revelation that Jesus brings; here Jesus’ life-giving word replaces the water of the pool that failed to bring life. Jn 6 contains two signs, the multiplication of loaves and the walking on the waters of the Sea of Galilee. These signs are connected much as the manna and the crossing of the Red Sea are in the Passover narrative and symbolize a new exodus. The multiplication of the loaves is interpreted for the reader by the discourse that follows, where the bread of life is used first as a figure for the revelation of God in Jesus and then for the Eucharist. After a series of dialogues reflecting Jesus’ debates with the Jewish authorities at the Feast of Tabernacles in Jn 7; 8, the sixth sign is presented in Jn 9, the sign of the young man born blind. This is a narrative illustration of the theme of conflict in the preceding two chapters; it proclaims the triumph of light over darkness, as Jesus is presented as the Light of the world. This is interpreted by a narrative of controversy between the Pharisees and the young man who had been given his sight by Jesus, ending with a discussion of spiritual blindness and spelling out the symbolic meaning of the cure. And finally, the seventh sign, the raising of Lazarus in chap. 11, is the climax of signs. Lazarus is presented as a token of the real life that Jesus, the Resurrection and the Life, who will now ironically be put to death because of his gift of life to Lazarus, will give to all who believe in him once he has been raised from the dead.

Setulus Cinta Khadijah

"Khadijah, menikahlah denganku! Kau akan memiliki segala yang kupunya, termasuk anak yang paling kucintai, yang sudah terlalu dekat dengamu," ucap lelaki yang beberapa bulan ini menjadi majikannya. Deg! Khadijah yang sebelumnya tak tahu kenapa dia bisa dipanggil ke ruang kerja lelaki yang usianya sudah hampir mencapai kepala empat itu, akhirnya terkejut bukan main. Baru beberapa hari yang lalu ibunya menyuruh agar dia mendekati duda beranak satu itu, kini malah lelaki itu sendiri yang meminta untuk menikah dengannya. Apakah ini sebuah kebetulan, atau ... sebelumnya memang sudah direncanakan? Entahlah. "Ma-maaf, Tuan, tapi saya belum siap untuk menikah," tolaknya dengan halus. "Aku tak pernah menyuruhmu menjawab siap atau belum, tapi berilah jawaban iya atau setuju!" datar lelaki itu. Khadijah melebarkan matanya. 'Apa?! Iya atau setuju. Bukankah itu sama saja?' batinnya. Baiklah. Mungkin kali ini Khadijah tak bisa menolak. Karena menolaknya, sama saja dengan melepaskan diri dari lubang buaya, tetapi kemudian memasuki sarang singa. Itu lebih membahayakan keluarganya. Khadijah mengambil napas dalam-dalam, lalu mengeluarkannya perlahan. Mencoba mengatakannya dengan setenang mungkin. "Baik, saya akan menyetujuinya. Tapi dengan dua syarat, Tuan," ucap Khadijah, mencoba menatap lelaki yang tengah duduk dengan gagah di depannya itu. Lelaki itu menautkan kedua alisnya. 'Demi apa aku harus menerima dua syarat dari bocah ini? Padahal, di luar sana banyak sekali wanita yang mengantri untuk kunikahi. Tapi ... baiklah, demi putraku satu-satunya, aku akan mengikuti permainannya,' gumamnya dalam hati. "Katakan, apa syaratnya?" "Bersucilah dan ucaplah dua kalimat syahadat!" Deg! ***EA***
