"Aku masih menjaga kamu dalam pikiranku AUSTRALIA."
Haidar bangun dari tempat tidur. Mengusap wajah dan memandangi dinding kamarnya. Di sana ada brosur pendaftaran magister salah satu universitas di Australia. Sekolah yang menjadi impiannya saat ini.
Namun semua itu tidaklah mudah untuk di wujudkan, bertahun-tahun ia dan ibunya berpindah-pindah rumah demi menutupi jati diri mereka. Tinggal di rumah yang reot serta makan dari hasil belas kasihan orang.
Semua pekerjaan dilakukan ibunya agar dia bisa sekolah seperti anak-anak Aceh pada umumnya.
"Kau anak seorang pejuang. Kakekmu juga seorang pejuang. Jangan ada air mata untuk setiap masalah yang kau hadapi."
Kalimat itu yang diulang-ulang ibunya setiap kali Haidar menangis karena ejekan teman sekolah.
Terpaan ibunya tiap hari membuat keteguhan hati Haidar menjadi sekuat batu. Sama seperti namanya, Ibnu Haidar. Nama ini dalam bahasa Arab artinya, si Anak Batu.

Peach Moonshine
The night before the company went public, my wife told me she had a surprise for me and reminded me to dress up for the occasion.
I thought she was planning to reveal our secret relationship, and I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep all night.
However, the next day, in front of everyone, she announced that I was a creepy obsessive admirer. On top of that, she revoked my promotion and gave my position to her first love who had just returned to the country.
Everyone was waiting to see me humiliated.
I froze for a moment but quickly composed myself, walking up to her first love with a faint smile. Then, I took off the badge on my chest and placed it on him.
“As the new director, you should celebrate, shouldn't you? How about a wedding? I’ll officiate for you two.”
Glaring at me coldly, my wife told me to get lost and stop embarrassing myself.
What they didn’t know was that I was the key connection holding the entire company together. If I left, none of the investors would back them anymore.

During my wedding, hundreds of photos of me being sullied flutter down from the top of the church, landing before the guests below.
My fiancé instantly calls off our engagement and turns to kiss my sister.
Devastation washes over me. Just then, my childhood friend Derek Church, the Capo of the Church family, the East Coast's most powerful mafia family, pulls me into his arms.
He kicks the church's door open and presses a check worth a million dollars into my father's hands. He pulls me to the priest and has him announce that we are husband and wife.
I'm so touched that I agree to marry him. From then on, I become the Capo's wife.
Two years later, Derek and I finally conceive through IVF. I want to share the exciting news with him when I overhear his conversation with his subordinate.
"Lilyanne is afraid of pain and becoming ugly, so we can use Nicole to give birth to her child. Once she produces an heir for the Morse family, her position will be solidified. Then, the Morse family will become the Church family's MadeMan."
"As expected of you, boss. You knew the Morse family is full of politicians who would never accept a sullied woman into the family. The only way for Lilyanne to marry into the family was by having Nicole sullied."
My blood runs cold when I hear this, and the pregnancy report in my hand feels unbelievably heavy.
The man I thought was my salvation was actually the devil who pulled me into the abyss.
I dry my tears and call the Capo of the West Coast's mafia family, Derek's nemesis. "I have a way to help you become the mafia Capo dei capi. Do you want to work with me?"
