Sebuah pesan masuk ke dalam gawaiku, tak ada firasat apapun saat itu. Dengan santai pesan itu kubuka. Sebuah foto yang dikirim oleh nomor tak dikenal. Mataku membulat sempurna, tak percaya dengan apa yang kulihat, hingga berkali-kali aku memperhatikan bahkan sampai men-zoom foto itu sedetail mungkin, takut jika mata ini salah menyimpulkan. [Maafkan saya, Bu!] tulis si pengirim foto. Aku tak menghiraukan pesannya, butir demi butir air mengalir dari sudut mata, mengaburkan penglihatan. Menandakan bahwa foto itu membuat luka didalam sana. Sebuah foto resepsi pernikahan yang berlatarkan salah satu pemandangan di Puncak, tertampang nyata, sangat indah begitu pula dengan senyum dari kedua mempelai yang terlihat sempurna dan bahagia. Mas Arya, pengantin laki-laki yang kini sedang bersanding dengan seorang wanita muda dan cantik itu adalah suamiku. Suami yang sudah sepuluh tahun ini kuhaturkan bakti kepadanya. "Ma, Mama kenapa menangis?" cepatku susut air mataku dengan ujung jari, dan mematikan ponselku agar gambar yang begitu mengiris hati itu tak sampai terlihat oleh Alisa, putriku. "Ga, sayang. Mata Mama kelilipan," ungkapku asal. Kuraih tubuh mungil Alisa dalam pelukan, gadis lima tahun ini begitu sangat berarti bagiku. "Kak Alif mana sayang?" tanyaku mengalihkan pembicaraan.

'Mas, kita sudah punya putra dan putri yang begitu membanggakan, aku juga meninggalkan karierku demi berbakti kepadamu, kenapa masih saja curang dibelakang ku?' bisikku dalam hati. "Ma, Ayah kapan pulang?" Alisa bersandar didadaku, tanganku terulur membelai rambut panjang nan hitam milik Alisa.

Aku yang tak begitu mengikuti perkembangan perusahaan, percaya saja padanya. Tak mungkin rasanya, Mas Arya mengkhianatiku dia lelaki yang baik, sholeh, penyayang dan selalu romantis.
