"Dia siapa, Ma?" Entah kenapa aku gugup sendiri saat tanya itu mencuat. Aku belum berani melihat jelas wajahnya. Sampai Bu Tya memperkenalkanku padanya. "Ning, kenalkan ini anak sulung saya, Zen Maulana. Zen, ini Ning yang mau bantu mama bersih-bersih rumah. Dia juga mau kerja di kantin kampus." Aku yang baru saja menginjakkan kaki di anak tangga terakhir terlonjak kaget. Nama itu, tidak asing bagiku. Apa hanya sebuah kebetulan nama lengkapnya sama. Aku memberanikan diri melihat wajah anak sulung Bu Tya. Seketika kotak yang kupegang jatuh membuat isinya berhamburan. Rasa-rasanya kepalaku bagai dihantam palu.

Pandangan mulai mengabur dan gelap. Lutut lemas seolah tak bertulang, aku terhuyung. Sebelum kesadaranku hilang, sayup-sayup telingaku menangkap suara. Nama panggilan yang biasa Zen sebut untukku. "Han!" Simak ceritanya, yuk.

Diego strolled into his apartment, his heels clinking softly against the marble floor. He tossed his blonde wig on the couch, and his soft fingers propelled forward to count the dollar bills in his hands. “You're out crossdressing again?” His uncle, Roberto, a tall imposing figure with gray streaks on his hair walked into the room. “I might just have the perfect job for you,” Roberto chuckled softly and tossed a gun at Diego. “What?!” Diego's breath hitched in his throat as he swallowed the weight of the mission his uncle proposed. Cross dressing was one thing that Diego did with ease. There was no way he could do what his uncle requested; assassinating the infamous mafia lord of the Rocco empire. He stood in front of a mirror, holding the gun that Roberto had handed to him. There was no way that this soft and delicate hand could pull a trigger. Diego didn't expect that the mafia lord he was set up against was going to be a man who'll make his heart flutter. He tried to resist, bracing himself to complete his mission. But things only got heated when he found himself “entangled in the rival's hold.”

Her silky hair was a mess. Her makeup, ruined. Her dress wrinkled like she slept on it. She was there, but her mind, elsewhere. Her eyes went to me. Her lips curled into a lazy smile. In every step she gave, my heart sank thinking she would fall. “What happened to you? Are you okay?” I rushed towards her. Her face twisted with disgust. “Oh, perfect Bella. The golden girl. Always correct. Always the best.” “What…” “Perfect Bella. Has the best grades. She doesn't have to fight to get into college, colleges fight over her.” “Emma, you are drunk.” “Perfect Bella doesn't drink. She is as pure as water. Saint Bella.” Her eyes glinted. “Perfect Bella doesn't sleep with her best friend's husband.” My body froze as a wave of chill ran through my spine. “What… what are you talking about?” She leaned in, her breath thick with alcohol, “Where do you think Marcus is? Why do you think I can barely walk straight? Is it hard to believe he took me and not you to that bad that was supposed to be yours?” My heart clenched. Tears started forming in my eyes. It didn't take long till they gave up to gravity. He… he didn't. We'd promised this morning. He couldn't. “He wouldn't.” ***** It's been a year, but the scars are still there. My past echoing in my head reminding me of everything that happened since that day. Every time I open my eyes in the morning to see... nothing. “You only get hurt by the ones you love the most.” “You only get betrayed by the ones you trust the most.” What happens when these two misbeliefs collide? ***** I hope I wrote this book good enough to make you feel it. Obrigada.☺️
