Saat aku hamil lagi, Arif Ravindra memutuskan berhenti berjudi dan berjanji akan bekerja keras demi menafkahi keluarga kami. Aku pun menangis terharu. Dengan tangan gemetar, aku menyerahkan semua tabungan hasil kerja paruh waktuku selama setahun kepadanya. Ada dua lembar uang jatuh ke lantai. Saat aku memungut uang dan mengejarnya keluar, aku melihat adegan yang mengejutkan. Aku melihat di ujung gang, para preman mafia yang biasa menagih hutang kini bersikap begitu hormat kepada Arif. Ternyata, kemiskinannya hanyalah pura-pura. "Bos, besok kami masih perlu mengerumuni di depan rumahmu?" Arif duduk santai di dalam mobil Lincoln panjang dan menjawab dengan acuh, "Tidak perlu." Ia menatap cincin di jarinya dan menghela napas. "Sudah bertahun-tahun dia membuktikan cintanya. Dia rela bekerja keras demi membayar hutangku, bahkan dia sampai kelelahan dan keguguran.” “Aku sudah sangat merasa bersalah padanya. Kini saatnya memberitahu identitas asliku biar dia tidak perlu bekerja keras lagi." Namun Lina Candra, sahabat kecilnya yang duduk di sampingnya malah tidak sependapat. “Tidak, belum waktunya! Bagaimana jika dia ternyata seperti wanita-wanita sebelumnya, hanya tertarik dengan uangmu dan statusmu sebagai kepala mafia?" "Lebih baik tunggu sebentar lagi. Kita lihat apakah dia mau melahirkan anak ini." Setelah berpikir sejenak, Arif mengangguk, "Baik, ikuti pendapatmu. Lagi pula dia sudah bersamaku begitu lama, pasti tak tega meninggalkanku." Aku menggenggam erat uang di tangan, membalikkan badan dan menangis sejadi-jadinya. 'Arif, cinta penuh kebohongan ini, aku tidak mau!'
