Di tahun kelima pernikahanku dengan Anto, gadis yang ia simpan di hotel akhirnya terungkap ke publik, menjadi perbincangan semua orang. Untuk menghindari tuduhan sebagai "pelakor", Anto datang kepadaku dengan membawa surat cerai dan berkata, “Profesor Jihan dulu pernah membantuku. Sebelum beliau meninggal, dia memintaku untuk menjaga Vior. Sekarang kejadian seperti ini terungkap, aku tak bisa tinggal diam.” Selama bertahun-tahun, Vior selalu menjadi pilihan pertama Anto. Di kehidupan sebelumnya, saat mendengar kata-kata itu, aku hancur dan marah besar, bersikeras menolak bercerai. Hingga akhirnya aku menderita depresi berat, tetapi Anto, hanya karena Vior berkata, “Kakak nggak terlihat seperti orang sakit,” langsung menyimpulkan bahwa aku berpura-pura sakit, menganggap aku sengaja bermain drama.

I had been married for five years, but my belly remained flat—no sign of a child. Then, on my 35th birthday, I suddenly found out I was pregnant. When I shared the good news with my husband, he flew into a rage. Instead of being happy, he accused me of carrying someone else's baby. Only then did I learn he had a mistress. He even claimed he wanted a "real" child—one that truly belonged to him—with her. I thought he was just being irrational and would eventually come to his senses. After getting an amniocentesis, I immediately brought him the paternity test results to prove the baby was his. He came home acting like a changed man—hugging me, kissing me, claiming that he didn't cheat on me. The very next day, he booked a hotel and threw a banquet, announcing to all our friends and family that he was going to be a father. However, when his mistress saw the news, she completely lost it. She showed up with a group of people, blocked me in the street, and—despite my pregnancy—started punching and kicking me. "You shameless woman! How dare you carry my man's child? Are you that desperate to die?"

Di tahun kelima pernikahan tanpa hubungan suami istri, sebuah pesan teks tentang suamiku yang meninggalkan duniawi dan saudara perempuan angkatnya yang sedang menginap di hotel muncul.
