Ardina tak pernah membayangkan bahwa pernikahannya yang sudah melalui masa perak yaitu 25 tahun, akan kandas oleh penghianatan suaminya. Yang lebih membuatnya hancur, selingkuhan suaminya ternyata calon menantu yang sudah menghianati putranya.

Aku sengaja meminta istriku memakai cadar karena aku malu. Tompel di pipinya membuatku takut ditertawakan. Apalagi orang-orang yang tahu mantan-mantanku terdahulu. Perempuan-perempuan cantik yang tak pernah papa berikan restu. Cuma, malam itu aku benar-benar terkejut luar biasa, tanpa sengaja cadar yang kuminta selalu dia pasang di wajahnya tersingkap. Benarkah perempuan yang ada di depanku ini adalah perempuan yang sama dengan yang aku nikahi enam bulan lalu? ~ Jordhy Durov Atmaja ~ ****** Beberapa tahun lalu, di Kota yang terkenal romantis, Paris, Prancis. Takdir tanpa sengaja mempertemukanku dengan seorang perempuan manis, bermata cokelat dengan bulu mata lebat. Aku cukup shock melihatnya yang berlari tetapi setengah tak berpakaian. Namun, keterkejutanku hilang ketika seorang lelaki muda keluar dari mobil dan mengejarnya. “Tolong selamatkan aku dari dia, Tuan!” “Pergillah! Aku akan membereskan sisanya!” Lalu, aku terlibat baku hantam. Aku yang sudah terlatih bela diri sejak SMA, tentunya dengan mudah menumbangkannya. Namun, kepiawanku berkelahi tak serta merta membuatku bisa menemukannya kembali. Sejak malam itu, sepasang netra cantik dengan bulu mata lentik itu selalu memenuhi pikiranku. Apakah aku sedang jatuh hati? Aku bertahan di sana dan mencarinya, hingga akhirnya papa memintaku pulang ke Indonesia untuk menghadiri pernikahan kakakku, Jordhy Durov Atmaja. Hanya saja ketika aku pulang dan dikenalkan dengan perempuan bercadar yang harus kusebut kakak ipar, kenapa aku seolah-olah menemukan dia kembali? Kenapa sepasang netra cantik dengan bulu mata lentik itu mengingatkanku padanya? ~ Kevandra Suryadinata ~

She'd planned it for most of her life, preparing herself to have enough control over her nature to join the human world. But when a letter came through the mail asking for the hand of her older sister for marriage, everything went down the drain.
