Pada ulang tahun pernikahan kami, wanita yang disukai oleh suamiku menunjukkan foto USG di status media sosialnya. Dia juga menuliskan ucapan terima kasih untuk suamiku. "Laki-laki baik yang sudah menjagaku selama sepuluh tahun memberiku seorang anak. Terima kasih." Aku sempat melotot dan berkomentar, "Sudah tahu cuma selingkuhan, tapi masih berani begini?" Aku langsung menelepon suamiku dan memarahinya. "Jangan punya pikiran aneh-aneh! Aku cuma kasih tabung reaksi buat memenuhi keinginannya menjadi ibu tunggal." "Oh ya, Erika saja sudah hamil, kamu yang sudah melakukannya hingga tiga kali masih saja belum hamil. Dasar nggak berguna." Tiga hari yang lalu dia bilang padaku kalau dia harus pergi ke luar negeri untuk urusan bisnis, tidak menjawab telepon atau membalas pesanku. Aku pikir dia sibuk, tetapi tidak disangka dia malah menemani orang lain untuk melakukan pemeriksaan kehamilan. Setengah jam kemudian, Erika memamerkan hidangan mewah di atas meja makan. "Aku bosan sama makan makanan barat, jadi Regha memasak semua makanan kesukaanku." Aku melihat slip kehamilan yang ada di tanganku. Seketika, kegembiraan yang memenuhi hatiku langsung membeku menjadi es. Aku jatuh cinta kepadanya selama delapan tahun, berkomitmen dengannya selama enam tahun dalam ikatan pernikahan. Kali ini, aku akan melepaskan semuanya.

During an ambush, I risked everything to save Matthew, but in doing so, I lost the ability to stand—my legs were permanently damaged. Matthew was devastated. Holding me close, he swore he would love me forever and never betray me. Overwhelmed with emotion, I agreed to marry him. In secret, I sought medical treatment, and after a long, gruelling journey, the day finally came when the doctor told me I could walk again. Overjoyed, I rushed home, eager to share the incredible news with him. However, the moment I pushed open the door, my world collapsed. Matthew was fooling around with his female assistant—right there in our home. On our bed. Wrapped in each other's arms, they kissed passionately, completely lost in the moment. As things heated up, the woman gazed at him and murmured, "Matt, why don't you just leave that cripple? She can't satisfy you at all." "Don't you love the thrill of sneaking around? It wouldn't be nearly as exciting if I left her." A wave of icy rage surged through me. So that was what our marriage meant to him—nothing more than a twisted game, a joke between him and his mistress. Drained and heartbroken, I turned and walked out. That night, I booked a flight back to my hometown. I was done with this city. Let Matthew live with his regret.

Pada akhirnya kehilangan akan menjadi hadiah semesta bulan ini. Lalu kebingungan akan menjadi frasa terakhir untuk kata bahagia di masa lalu. Kemudian Lavender akan menjadi suara tipuan dari sebuah kesepian yang disembunyikan. Kehilanganmu bagaikan lavender yang kehilangan aromaterapi, dia tetap tumbuh namun telah mati dalam rasa.

Tepat di hari peringatan 30 tahun pernikahan kami, suamiku masih dalam perjalanan dinas. Makanan di meja sudah dingin. Di tengah aku masih menunggu kedatangannya, aku menerima notifikasi suamiku reservasi hotel. "Aku masih dinas, bukankah wajar aku menginap di hotel?" Suamiku masih merahasiakan, lalu aku meminta bukti video darinya, tetapi dia tidak membalas pesanku lama. Putraku menyeletuk, "Bu, jangan bertingkah berlebihan. Bukankah Ayah bekerja keras juga untuk kita berdua?" Semua orang menganggap aku adalah ibu rumah tangga yang bahagia karena memiliki suami yang perhatian dan putraku memiliki karier yang sukses. Namun, ketika aku menerima notifikasi reservasi hotel, seketika aku merasa muak. Mereka mengira aku tidak tahu apa-apa. Aku ingin bercerai. Semua pengorbananku selama 30 tahun ini ternyata tidak dihargai. "Kamu bukan anak kecil lagi, berhentilah membuat keributan!" Suamiku memohon agar kami tidak bercerai. Dalam perjalanan pulang di tengah malam, suamiku mengalami kecelakaan mobil. Putraku marah dan mengatakan bahwa aku tidak becus menjadi istri maupun ibu. Melihat anakku emosi dan suamiku yang pura-pura terbaring lemah di ranjang, aku mencibir dalam hati. Kalau kamu suka pura-pura sakit, aku akan membuatmu lumpuh selamanya!'

Chuck Bassett, heir to an Urbington East fortune in Nuvark City, has dated 42 girlfriends—all foreign, all in white dresses, every single one with a mole at the corner of her eyebrow. People joke about his obsession, saying he'll never get over his first love, Lylith Fowler. Then, Lorrie Scarrow shows up. She's sharp, short-haired, hates dresses, and her eyes are clear and bright. She's nothing like the women he's dated before. Chuck buys her a private island. When she mentions how much she loves the stars, he fills the sky above their estate with millions of drones, crafting a shimmering galaxy just for her. He even gets her initial tattooed beneath his collarbone. Everyone is amazed. Chuck has finally moved on from the past. Even Lorrie starts to believe it. Until she spots him in the red-light district, shelling out a fortune to book a hostess for a whole month. The woman has short hair and a button-down shirt. She looks just like Lorrie. Chuck's friends are floored. "Have you lost your mind? Lylith changed her look, and now you're after someone who looks even more like her? Remember how she dumped you for that wealthy foreign businessman when she thought you were broke? "She only came crawling back after she found out you're the heir to one of the Four Great Families. You've always said there's nothing you hate more than women like that!" Chuck knocks back the shot. "I hate her, and I love her. She pulled me out of a fire ten years ago. No one else can ever replace her in my heart." "And what about Lorrie? You proposed to her! She gave up a career at one of the world's top design firms for you. Aren't you worried she'll walk away when she finds out?" Chuck leans back on the couch, his expression cold. "I won't marry a traitor. Lorrie's pure, innocent—the closest thing to how Lylith used to be. So I'll still marry her. She loves me too much to walk away." Unseen in the shadows, Lorrie stands frozen, her heart plummeting. Turns out, she's just another her.
