Setelah kakakku kehilangan kewarasannya, perjanjian pernikahan dengan Keluarga Zony pun jatuh ke tanganku. Aku dengan bahagia menikahi pemuda yang selama ini kusukai, namun pada malam pertama pernikahan, aku justru tidur sendirian. Aku menjadi bahan tertawaan seluruh kota Dumai. Kemudian, karena aku mengetahui rahasia kakakku, dia menabrakku dengan mobil hingga mati dan membuang jenazahku ke hutan. Saat membuka mata kembali, aku kembali ke hari di mana perjanjian pernikahan itu ditukar. Zony sedang memeluk kakakku yang kehilangan kewarasannya dan mencium jemari tangannya dengan penuh ketulusan. “Lina, tak peduli kau jadi seperti apa, kamu tetaplah wanita yang paling kucintai.” Aku pun berbalik tanpa ragu dan menerima lamaran dari Gunawan, CEO yang tak bisa punya keturunan. Namun kali ini justru Zony menangis tersedu-sedu dan memohon agar aku kembali padanya.
