Arti Foolish

George Milton took me eight times in a single night. By the ninth, his hand gripped my waist, his voice rough with satisfaction as he rasped, "Baby, I want you to use that innocent-but-sexy look you've got to go seduce Jordan." My entire body went rigid. Then I found out—George's first love, Sarah Byrnes, had been ditched by Jordan Baker, leaving her heartbroken. He wanted me to take revenge for her, to make Jordan taste the agony of being abandoned by the one he loved. After my family had gone bankrupt, I was delivered straight to George's bed. Naively, I believed he treated me differently. After all, I had been the woman at his side the longest. But he only sneered. "The reason I keep you is because you look like Sarah. She's hurting. Now it's your turn to do your part. With reddened eyes, I agreed, swallowing every foolish hope I should never have harbored. Soon, I captured the aloof and untouchable Jordan's heart. And for the first time, George lost control. He wept as he begged, "Catelyn, I regret it. Come back to me, please?"

Rahayu, seorang wanita tangguh yang hidupnya penuh perjuangan, meninggal dunia akibat sebuah kecelakaan tragis. Saat membuka mata kembali, ia terbangun dalam tubuh seorang pria bernama Radit — seorang pengangguran dari keluarga miskin yang kehidupannya hancur akibat kesalahan besar di masa lalu. Radit adalah lelaki yang dulu memperkosa Velia Anindya Prameswari, wanita kaya raya, hingga pernikahan mereka terjadi tanpa cinta. Sejak hari itu, rumah tangga mereka dingin, penuh kebencian, dan tak berperasaan. Radit justru memanfaatkan kekayaan Velia untuk berfoya-foya, menelantarkan anak mereka Arkana yang baru berusia tiga tahun, dan melupakan ayahnya yang sakit serta keluarganya sendiri. Namun kini, jiwa Radit sudah tak lagi sama. Rahayu yang menempati tubuh itu menolak menjadi suami jahat dan ayah gagal seperti Radit. Ia bertekad menebus dosa-dosa yang pernah diperbuat tubuh ini. Dengan ketulusan, kerja keras, dan cinta yang tak pernah diberikan Radit sebelumnya, Rahayu perlahan mengubah segalanya: Ia mulai bekerja keras demi membuktikan diri, bukannya mengandalkan harta Velia. Ia belajar menjadi ayah bagi Arka, yang selama ini hanya mengenal dinginnya sosok ayah. Ia merangkul kembali keluarganya yang terluka karena ulah Radit. Ia mencoba merebut kembali kepercayaan Velia, meski hati wanita itu telah beku. Perjalanan ini tidak mudah. Masa lalu Radit yang kelam terus menghantuinya—teman-teman buruk, keluarga Velia yang memandang rendah, serta jejak luka yang terlalu dalam. Tetapi, setiap langkah kecil menuju perubahan perlahan mengikis kebencian, membuka ruang harapan, dan mengajarkan arti cinta sejati. Di balik semua itu, Rahayu menyadari bahwa kesempatan kedua yang diberikan padanya bukan untuk mengulang kehidupan, melainkan untuk menebus kesalahan orang lain dan menemukan arti hidup yang sesungguhnya. Apakah Velia mampu memaafkan? Apakah Arka bisa benar-benar memanggilnya “Ayah” dengan bangga? Dan bagaimana akhir dari rahasia transmigrasi ini ketika kebenarannya terbongkar?
