ISABEAU

ISABEAU

ISABEAU Kecantikan adalah Kutukan, Kelaparan adalah Tuhan. Di bawah langit Vallerose yang meranggas, seorang dewi lahir di atas tanah retak. Isabeau Alénor Montferrand memiliki kulit seputih porselen mahal dan mata topaz yang sanggup menyesatkan jiwa para pendeta. Orang-orang memanggilnya Bella, sebuah nama indah yang terdengar seperti penghinaan di tengah kemelaratan yang mengepungnya. Kecantikan itu hanyalah lelucon bagi takdir. Bella tidak lahir di atas ranjang beledu, melainkan di gubuk sempit yang pengap, di mana napas ibunya yang kurus menjadi satu-satunya lagu pengantar tidur. Dunia abad ke-19 yang dingin tidak memberi ruang bagi kepolosan. Bella belajar mencuri koin sebelum ia belajar membaca doa. Ia menyaksikan ayahnya menjual martabat dalam lembaran-lembaran foto asusila demi sepotong roti, sebelum akhirnya pria itu tewas bersimbah darah di gang gelap yang busuk. Kepergian sang ayah meninggalkan warisan berupa rasa malu yang membakar dan dendam yang membeku. Membawa luka itu, mereka melarikan diri ke Althevarre. Namun, di kota pengasingan ini, Bella justru menjadi mangsa yang terlalu "terang" di tengah penduduk yang berwajah keras. Perbedaan memicu iri. Iri mengundang kebencian. Dan kebencian melahirkan kekerasan. Kecantikannya yang lembut memicu badai; ia diseret ke lantai, dikeroyok, dan dihina karena kulit putihnya dianggap sebagai kesombongan. Setiap pukulan itu mematikan nuraninya. Bella berhenti menangis. Ia mulai membalas. Baginya, melukai orang lain kini hanyalah tindakan mekanis untuk bertahan hidup di dunia yang ingin melihatnya hancur. Tahun-tahun berlalu, Bella memoles lukanya menjadi senjata. Ia meninggalkan kemiskinan Althevarre menuju kemewahan Elysden. Di kota industri ini, ia memanjat tangga sosial sebagai jurnalis manipulatif, menjerat Dorian Alistair Ravenshade—seorang pria berkuasa yang telah beristri—ke dalam jaring-jaring hasrat yang beracun. Ia tidak mencari cinta; ia mencari keamanan. Namun, saat dunia mulai bertekuk lutut, tubuh Bella mengkhianatinya. Wabah Tuberkulosis merayap di paru-parunya, membakar setiap napas dengan darah. Skandalnya terbongkar, kekuasaannya runtuh, dan ia dibuang ke pesisir Briarvale untuk menjemput maut dalam sunyi. Dunia mengira ia telah jinak. Mereka salah. Di sela rak buku tua perpustakaan yang berdebu di Briarvale, Bella bertemu dengan sosok yang tak seharusnya ada di sana: Alaric Thorne de Ardenthal. Sang Putra Mahkota dengan mata biru sedingin es dan reputasi setajam pedang. Alaric bukanlah pria biasa yang mudah terpikat; ia adalah penguasa pragmatis yang terbiasa melihat kebohongan di balik wajah cantik. Alaric menawarkan apa yang paling dibutuhkan Bella: waktu, perlindungan, dan obat yang mampu menunda jemputan maut. Namun, imbalannya jauh lebih berbahaya daripada penyakit itu sendiri. Bella harus menjadi "bayangan" sang pangeran—mata yang menembus celah-celah busuk kekaisaran Ardenthal, telinga yang mendengar bisikan pengkhianatan di balik panggung sandiwara istana yang megah. Kini, Bella berdiri di tepi jurang antara napas terakhir dan takhta yang berlumuran darah. Di balik sisa napasnya yang mencekik, ia menyadari sebuah kebenaran mutlak; demi terus bernapas, ia harus menelan racun, menjual sisa jiwanya, dan menjadi monster yang jauh lebih mengerikan daripada maut itu sendiri.

Mauna Kea

Mauna Kea

In the vertical megacity of Nadir, life is ruled by water. Twice a day, at noon and eighteen hundred, rain thunders from the pipes and people lift bowls like worshippers. High above, the wealthy live behind dry glass near the reactor “sun.” Far below, the undercity rusts under pipes and legends of an Angel who “saved the world” by dividing it. Breuk is a scarred courier who rides the city’s arteries on his motorcycle. With his crew – strategist Lig, mechanic-medic Tara, tech Limar and driver Tev – he works in the grey zone between politics and crime, sabotaging projects that threaten the lower districts while still serving the system that exploits them. A quiet fixer named Kane offers them a final, life-changing job: infiltrate the upper-tier Valeris villa and steal the “Necklace of Ascent,” a relic said to belong to the man who became the Angel and to respond only to the “fallen.” During the heist, a dying servant presses a different pendant into Breuk’s hand and begs, “Not her. Don’t let her wear it.” Realizing the display piece is a fake, Breuk keeps the true necklace and leaves the decoy behind. Soon after, the crew is ambushed. Breuk falls into the Schlund, a colossal shaft that swallows whatever the city wants to forget. The real necklace slows his fall. He wakes maimed but alive in the Grund, a hidden settlement at the bottom of the world, where people have survived for generations on fungus, runoff and scrap, feeding the Schlund with offerings so it will “forget” them. As Breuk heals and works beside villagers like pragmatic Jakk, he finds an old book: the Angel was an engineer who built an invisible barrier, the Circle of Peace, powered by the Schlund. It ended a devastating war by locking upper and lower worlds apart. “The world was saved,” the book claims. Breuk keeps asking: whose world? Lig eventually discovers a way through the Circle and descends. In the Grund, he and Breuk clash: Lig wants to use the villagers’ anger and the necklace to break the order; Breuk fears any grand gesture will destroy the people he’s come to protect. After a protest over the offering ritual ends in death and the village refuses to keep feeding the Schlund, they choose a third path: a dangerous migration. They weaken the Circle just enough for the villagers to climb through forgotten shafts into Nadir’s underlevels. The ascent costs lives but not all. They don’t topple the Heights; the rich still drink clean water. Yet the Grund is no longer a sealed grave. With forged papers, its people become “maintenance workers,” folded into the city instead of sacrificed to it. In the end, Breuk stands with Lig above the undercity. The rope from their climb hangs slack between them, unbroken. The necklace warms on Breuk’s chest; he refuses to see it as a command. He will not be a new Angel drawing lines between saved and buried. Instead, he returns to the machinery with his people, choosing slow, imperfect bridges over righteous walls.

Beautiful

Hidup tak akan berhenti meski kita ingin berhenti. Hidup tak akan berbaik hati kepada kita yang tak mau terluka. Hidup yang sebenarnya membuat kita merasakan apa itu kesedihan dan apa itu kebahagiaan. Barulah dikatakan hidup jika kita merasakan semua perasaan-perasaan itu. Jangan hanya tersakiti sekali membuatmu menyerah, jangan sampai menyesal pada akhirnya. Dengan merasakan berbagai perasaan itu membuatmu merasakan keindahan hidup yang sebenarnya. Sungguh tak ada keindahan yang lebih baik lagi daripada hidup ini. Seperti kisah Narendra Bagas Permana. Seseorang yang tampan, kaya raya, terlebih dia adalah seorang dokter spesialis. Siapa wanita yang bisa menolak pria seperti itu. Bisa dikatakan deskripsi laki-laki itu sangat sempurna tanpa celah. Parasnya yang rupawan membuat para wanita tergila-gila padanya. Tetapi, semenjak Narendra merasakan apa itu terluka, dia tak pernah merasakan lagi yang nama jatuh cinta. Dia menutup hatinya rapat-rapat karena dia tak ingin terluka untuk kedua kalinya. Mungkin sebagian orang mengatakan dia terlalu pengecut namun jangan hanya mencela jika tak pernah merasakan sendiri apa itu terluka. Dia berubah menjadi sosok yang dingin kepada semua orang tapi siapa yang tahu dibalik sikap dinginnya dia menyimpan luka yang cukup dalam. Tetapi setelah dia bertemu dengan sosok cantik itu perlahan sikap dinginnya mulai mencair. Dia kembali merasakan perasaan-perasaan aneh yang membuatnya bingung. Perasaan-perasaan yang sudah lama tak ia rasakan. Apakah dia kembali merasakan indahnya hidup. Semoga saja, dia bisa merasakan keindahan dalam hidup ini.
