Adopting Tom Riddle

Laksana Raja di Laut

Letnan Tom Ah Seng, seorang perwira TNI Angkatan Darat yang berdedikasi, akhirnya memutuskan untuk pensiun setelah lebih dari 30 tahun mengabdi. Di usia lima puluh, ia memilih pulang ke kampung halamannya di Pulau Batam, dengan harapan menghabiskan sisa hidupnya dalam damai, jauh dari hiruk-pikuk tugas militer yang telah menyita sebagian besar hidupnya. Namun, segalanya berubah saat perjalanan pulang itu membawa dirinya ke tempat yang tak pernah ia bayangkan. Dalam penerbangan, Tom tertidur lelap, tetapi ketika terbangun, ia mendapati dirinya bukan lagi di pesawat. Ia berada di sebuah rumah tradisional di tepi pantai, dihiasi dengan seni khas Melayu yang begitu asing namun akrab di matanya. Pemandangan laut yang memukau tampak kontras dengan kebingungannya. Di tengah suasana yang tak terjelaskan itu, tiba-tiba sebuah layar bercahaya muncul di hadapannya, melayang dengan pesan yang membingungkan: "Masa lalu memanggilmu kembali." Potongan-potongan kenangan dari kehidupan militernya mulai terungkap, membawa ingatan akan janji-janji, pengorbanan, dan dosa-dosa yang mungkin tak pernah sepenuhnya ditinggalkan. Saat Tom berusaha memahami apa yang terjadi, ia menyadari bahwa ini bukan sekadar perjalanan menuju masa pensiun. Dunia, atau mungkin takdir, belum selesai dengannya. Ia akan dihadapkan pada misi yang jauh lebih besar dari sekadar perang-sebuah panggilan dari masa lalu yang menuntut jawaban, pengorbanan, dan keberanian terakhirnya. Di manakah Tom sebenarnya berada? Apakah ini mimpi, realitas lain, atau bayangan dari masa lalunya yang belum selesai? Dalam kisah yang penuh misteri, perjuangan, dan penebusan, Tom Ah Seng harus kembali menjadi prajurit-bukan untuk bangsa, tetapi untuk sesuatu yang lebih besar.

Bought, Betrayed, Reborn Of The Adopted Daughter

“You will have to do everything that says in this house as long as you are still living under my roof,” Mr. Gabriel Everette yelled angrily at the sixteen-year-old Ava, who was looking at Mr. Everette, who was so angry with her because Ava had complained that her younger sister Abigail bullied her with her friends in school. “I have told you several times that no matter what your sister does to you, you should consider that she is still your sister and you shouldn't complain about her to me. Do you understand?” Mr. Gabriel yelled, causing Ava to nod her head with fear. “I’m sorry, Dad,” Ava said, but Mr. Gabriel walked away, leaving the living room to join his wife and their younger daughter Abigail. This is how Ava has been treated since Mr. Gabriel and his wife, Mrs. Georginal, gave birth to Abigail. They would neglect her and attend to her younger sister, but she wasn't able to understand what was going on; she cried when she was still little but started to understand as she grew up and could only cry and endure how she was being treated. Her younger sister, who was two years older than her, would bully her in school and always wanted to humiliate her, making her life miserable like a living hell. Abigail hated her and accused her of many things, blaming her for whatever reason. She endured for years and always wondered why her parents treated her so differently from how they treated her younger sister until the day she discovered she was just an adopted daughter whom they saw crying at just two years old. Until the day she discovered the truth about why she was being maltreated. She was an adopted daughter. Ava had entered her adoptive parents' bedroom while looking for a file Mr. Gabriel had told her to bring, but she saw adoption papers in her name instead. It felt like a dream, and realization slapped her so hard. She took the file and went through it. With tears, she placed the file back neatly where it had been before picking up the files she was told to bring to her adoptive father. When she discovered this, she felt like her world crumbled, and every fact she knew about herself shattered. The sound of shattering glass echoed in her mind. “I’m really an adopted daughter? Is this why I was being maltreated and felt different from my younger sister?” Ava thought as hot tears streamed down her cheeks. But what happened when Mr. Gabriel Everette was planning to sell Ava off when his company was facing bankruptcy? Ava heard this and ran away from home, but she came back strong and turned into a beautiful, decent wife of a billionaire. Her comeback holds revenge to teach them lessons and make them regret ever treating her so badly.
