Dalam hidup sejatinya setiap orang memerlukan cinta. Meski terkadang engkau merasa bahwa kesendirian bukanlah hal yang menakutkan, tetap saja disaat-saat tertentu pasti membutuhkan seseorang yang bisa diandalkan, walau hanya sekedar bertukar pikiran. Dengan cinta dan memiliki pasangan, akan membuat hidup kita setidaknya menjadi lebih berwarna untuk dijalani. Ini kisah tentang seorang perempuan yang sudah terbiasa dengan kesendirian. Ia merasa bahwa tanpa cinta hidupnya akan menjadi lebih baik, sehingga ia memilih untuk menghilang. Menjalani hari-harinya dengan kesendirian. Padahal yang sebenarnya ia inginkan adalah ditemukan. Mampukah ia menemukan seseorang yang bisa membuatnya, bahwa dengan cintalah justru kehidupan menjadi lebih baik?

Arsyila pikir dialah istri pertama bagi Zein. Namun, realita telah menamparnya sebab ternyata dia adalah istri kedua Zein. Seolah menelan pil pahit yang berkepanjangan, keluarganya sengaja merahasiakan fakta itu.  "Aku terluka, tapi tidak bisa berbuat apa-apa. Demi keluargaku, aku rela bertahan. Hidup seatap dengan wanita yang dicintainya." (Arsyila)  "Kamu merasa terluka? Justru di sini akulah yang terluka. Apapun kulakukan demi tangismu mereda." (Refan)  "Maaf, aku masih mencintainya dan akan tetap mencintainya sepanjang hayat." (Zein)  "Aku yakin kamu tidak akan pernah berpaling dariku, sampai kapanpun." (Sania)  Bagaimana nasib rumah tangga Arsyila? Mampukah dirinya bertahan dengan statusnya atau justru tergoda oleh kenyamanan yang ada?

Am Tag der geplanten Zwillingsgeburt bestach ich den Hausarzt. Ich ließ mir alle starken Wehenhemmer der Klinik injizieren, um die Entbindung künstlich zu verzögern. Warum? Weil in meinem letzten Leben, Vincent Corleone – mein Ehemann, der Don – behauptete, eine geringe Spermienzahl zu haben. Um einen Erben zu hinterlassen, unterhielt er zehn Geliebte. Er verkündete: Wer zuerst einen Sohn gebäre, deren Sohn werde der nächste Don der Familie Corleone. Er sagte, sobald ich mein Kind vor allen anderen gebäre, würde er alle Geliebten fortschicken und meinem Sohn die Nachfolge der Familie überlassen. Ich glaubte ihm. Als ich unerwartet mit Zwillingen schwanger wurde, zitterte ich vor Aufregung. Doch unmittelbar nach der Geburt ließ er mich und die Neugeborenen in den kalten Weinkeller werfen und verbot jedem, sich uns zu nähern. „Lucy kommt aus einfachen Verhältnissen. Ich wollte ihrem Kind lediglich einen legitimen Status geben, damit es ihr und dem Jungen künftig besser geht. Doch du hast absichtlich Informationen durchsickern lassen! Aus Verzweiflung starb sie bei der Geburt – mit dem ungeborenen Kind.“ „Du bist so grausam, dass du es nicht verdienst, die Mutter des Erben der Familie Corleone zu sein! Denk über dein Verhalten nach, in drei Tagen lasse ich dich wieder hinaus.“ Dann befahl er dem Butler, die Kellertür von außen zu verrammeln. Doch er wusste es nicht: In jener Nacht brach im Weinkeller ein Feuer aus, und ich wurde gemeinsam mit meinen Kindern in den Flammen verbrannt. Als ich die Augen wieder öffnete, befand ich mich in der Nacht vor der Entbindung. In diesem Leben würde ich nicht länger die Donna sein. Sobald ich die Kinder geboren und meine Kräfte zurückgewonnen hätte, würde ich meine Kinder nehmen und für immer verschwinden.
