"Benar. Kami baru akan melakukan operasi jika anda sudah menyiapkan uang itu." Harsha mendapati seluruh tubuhnya semakin meremang. Dari mana ia akan mendapatkan uang sebanyak itu untuk biaya operasi ibunya? Pun jika tak segera dioperasi, nyawa ibunya pasti tak akan bisa bertahan lebih lama lagi. "Baik, Dokter. Saya akan segera mencari uang untuk biaya ibu saya secepatnya." Harsha berjanji meskipun ia merasa ragu, dari mana ia akan mendapat uang sebanyak itu. Harsha Luvena, gadis berusia 22 tahun yang saat ini sedang berjuang untuk kesembuhan ibunya itu, juga sedang bekerja keras menyelesaikan tesisnya agar bisa lulus tepat waktu. Selain kuliah, Harsha juga bekerja di Mansion keluarga Birnandi, menggantikan ibunya yang harus berhenti bekerja karena sakit keras dan harus segera dioperasi. Karena masih ada waktu sekitar 2 jam sebelum nanti sore mulai bekerja, akhirnya Harsha berpamitan pada ibunya yang kondisinya semakin lemah. Dengan mengendarai motor bututnya, Harsha hanya memiliki satu tempat yang ingin ia tuju. Papan nama besar bertuliskan Bank Zurish di atas sebuah gedung dua lantai, akhirnya membuat motor Harsha berhenti. Ia memarkir kendaraan kesayangannya tersebut dan bergegas masuk ke dalam gedung itu. "Mohon maaf, kami tidak bisa meminjamkan uang dalam jumlah banyak tanpa adanya agunan." Penjelasan dari Customer Service yang melayani Harsha, pada akhirnya membuat gadis itu menghela napas panjang karena kecewa. "Jadi saya nggak bisa mengajukan pinjaman tanpa ada jaminan?" ulang Harsha masih belum yakin pada apa yang sudah dijelaskan. Dan ketika CS tersebut mengangguk sembari tersenyum ramah, akhirnya Harsha hanya bisa pasrah. Ia bangkit dengan lunglai dan berjalan menuju tempat parkir dengan gontai. Harsha tak sadar, dikejauhan sepasang mata sedang memperhatikan dia dengan penasaran, sebelum akhirnya masuk ke dalam mobil mewah miliknya. Karena hari mulai sore, akhirnya Harsha melaju menuju Mansion Birnandi yang terletak di kawasan privat di pinggiran kota. Sepanjang jalan, otak Harsha berpikir keras, bagaimana dan di mana dia bisa mendapatkan uang dua ratus juta untuk biaya operasi ibunya? Karena meminjam ke bank ternyata harus memiliki agunan. Tiba di Mansion Birnandi yang megah bak istana, Harsha lekas mengganti pakaiannya dengan seragam biru selayaknya pelayan lainnya. Sehari-hari, ia bertugas merawat bunga-bunga yang ditanam oleh sang majikan, Harsha menyiram dan menyiangi rumput liar yang tumbuh di sana. Nahas, karena pikirannya tengah kalut, alih-alih fokus pada pekerjaannya, Harsha malah teledor dan mencabut tanaman bunga kesayangan sang majikan. "Apa kamu sudah gila!? Itu bunga langka!" Teriakan yang kencang dari arah belakang membuat Harsha berjengit kaget dan sontak berbalik badan. Bela Zurishmo --nyonya besar di Mansion Birnandi, tengah melotot sambil berjalan cepat ke tempat Harsha mematung. "M-maafkan saya, Nyonya! Saya tidak sengaja," sesal Harsha panik karena perbuatan bodohnya tertangkap basah oleh sang majikan. Dengan wajah penuh amarah, Bela merampas tangkai bunga yang telah tercabut itu dan menatap Harsha dengan bengis. "Kamu harus menggantinya! Ini bunga mahal!" "T-tapi Nyonya..." "Kamu sengaja ingin dipecat, huh?Memangnya apa yang kamu pikirkan? Beberapa hari ini kamu juga sering membolos bekerja! Apa kamu sudah tidak betah bekerja di sini?" bentak Bela dengan kesal. "Tidak, nyonya! Jangan pecat saya. Saya janji ini yang terakhir. Saya akan lebih fokus mulai detik ini. Jangan pecat saya, saya masih harus memenuhi biaya operasi ibu saya!" pinta Harsha memohon sembari meluruhkan tubuhnya di tanah dan bersimpuh di hadapan Bela dan mulai terisak. "Saya mohon jangan pecat saya, Nyonya Bela." "Operasi?" Bela tersenyum smirk sembari melipat kedua tangannya di dada dan memandang Harsha dengan tatapan meremehkan. "Jadi kamu datang ke Bank Zurish untuk membiayai operasi ibumu!?" Dengan lemah, Harsha menganggukkan kepala tanpa berani menatap sang nyonya besar. "Benar Nyonya, ibu saya sedang kritis," akunya sedih. Jadi, gadis yang tadi ia lihat di Bank milik keluarganya itu benar Harsha. Sambil tersenyum kecut, Bela lantas melangkah anggun memutari tubuh Harsha sambil berkata, "apa kamu sangat membutuhkan uang itu?" Sambil terisak di tanah, Harsha mengangguk berulang kali untuk menegaskan keseriusannya. "Aku bisa membantumu kalo kamu mau." Kalimat singkat yang baru saja diucapkan Bela dengan lantang, berhasil membuat tangis Harsha mereda. Ia memberanikan diri mendongah dan menatap sang majikan. "Benarkah? Nyonya bersedia membantu saya?" ulang Harsha tak yakin pada pendengarannya. Bisa saja ia salah dengar karena terlalu heboh menangis, atau bisa saja dia berhalusinasi, bukan? Ketika akhirnya Bela Zurishmo menganggukkan kepalanya dan mengulurkan tangan pada sang pelayan, secara reflek Harsha meraih tangan lembut itu dengan gesit dan berdiri. Ia menatap Bela dengan sorot berbinar ceria dan senyuman yang mulai merekah. "Aku akan membantumu dengan satu syarat, Harsha!" lontar Bela dengan tegas seraya tersenyum licik. "Jadilah ibu pengganti untukku, dan aku akan membiayai operasi ibumu!"Chapter 28Nathan’s pov I followed Lyra—oh, I mean the lady who looked exactly like my Lyra—immediately after she ignored me, the refusal cutting deeper than any physical blow. But my subconscious told me, when has she become “my Lyra” Her denial felt like a lie, but her eyes held a cold emptiness I did not recognize. What the hell did Dr. Noah mean by claiming they were engaged? Engaged? The word hammered at the back of my skull, a fresh wave of blinding rage and confusion. This is my Lyra. I know it in the very core of my fractured soul. But why is she claiming she is not? What devastating event happened five long years ago to rip her from my life, and what has turned her into this stranger named Angela?I desperately need to call Marcus, I hope pick up. He is the only one who can confirm it, at least they are siblings and he would know her more than me. I was pulling out my phone, my fingers flying to his contact, when I heard the low murmur of voices echoing from the cor
Chapter 27 Angela's POV “Engage? Say what that means and why you thought a boardroom full of shareholders was the appropriate place to announce it to a woman who did not even know your name before.” Noah looked at me for a moment. His jaw was set but his eyes were doing something more complicated, moving over my face in a way that felt less like assessment and more like he was searching for something specific and not finding it in the place he expected. “You do not remember me,” he said. It was not a question. “I have never met you before yesterday,” I said. Something moved through his expression at that. There and gone too quickly for me to catch the full shape of it. “We met when we were seven years old,” he said, and his voice had shifted into something more careful, the way someone’s voice shifted when they were choosing each word with full awareness that the wrong one would end the conversation. “Our families had an arrangement. It was made between both sides when we we
Chapter 26Angela's POVThe weird man's reaction got me more and I turned my head back to the doctor."Engaged?" I asked again, wanting to be sure I heard that right.I just met this disrespectful man yesterday and we were already engaged?I turned back to Darius glaring hard at him. "What is he talking about?" I mouthed at him."Well… I tried to explain to you yesterday, but you said you did not want to know," he explained and a scoff left my mouth immediately. "Why am I engaged to him? This is the first time I am meeting him, what the fuck is actually happening?"I said, completely forgetting that I was still sitting in a meeting. The entire room went dead silent and I caught myself, pressing my lips together and pulling them in. I looked around the table slowly and that was when I found the weird man's eyes still on mine. He had stood up at some point and he was still standing, looking at me with an expression I could not quite name, steady and unreadable and entirely too focuse
Chapter 25The man from outside the hospital. The one who had said that name twice and looked at me like he was seeing something he had given up on finding.He was wearing a suit today, dark charcoal, and he looked composed in a way that was clearly costing him something. His jaw was set and his hands were loose at his sides and he was looking at me with those same eyes, that same particular quality of intensity that made my skin feel tight across my shoulders.I held his gaze for exactly two seconds.Then I looked back at the CFO.“You were saying the Q3 timeline has flexibility,” I said calmly. “Walk me through what that means in practical terms.”From my peripheral vision I saw the stranger pull out a chair midway down the table and sit. He did not announce himself. He did not apologise for being late. He just sat down and opened the folder in front of him and nobody at the table acted like anything unusual had happened, which told me he was expected.I took one note in my margi
CHAPTER 5Lyra's POVI woke up with the sunrise streaming through the window, my body stiff from barely sleeping after Nathan's strange midnight appearance. I had spent hours lying in the dark trying to make sense of why he had been standing in my doorway like that, staring at me with that look of
Chapter 6"Is Nathan around?" Marcus asked, confirming my fears. "I want to talk to both of you, make sure you're not killing each other."He said it like a joke but my smile felt painfully fake. "Um, let me see if he's available."I walked out of my room and down the stairs, my heart pounding with
CHAPTER 4Lyra's POVI sat on the edge of the guest bed, staring at the plain white walls around me, my suitcase lay open on the floor where I had abandoned it an hour ago, clothes still folded inside because I couldn't bring myself to unpack them, unpacking felt too permanent, like accepting this
Chapter 10Nathan’s lips crashed against mine with a force that knocked the breath straight out of my lungs.My eyes went wide with shock and my hands flew up to his chest automatically, trying to push him away, but it was like trying to move a brick wall. He was so much stronger than me and right
