"Vida, you agreed to a surrogacy contract and after my master paid you, you made away with his money," I was informed. "That's not even my signature," I laughed while handing back the paper, "you've been scammed sir, now if you excuse me, I have to go home, this contract is invalid." I'm cornered to an end, my path blocked by both his arms which thump violently with veins, his breath gets as he stares closely, barely an inch away from me, and then he opens his mouth… "Mate!" ---------------- I've searched for my mate for seven years but couldn't find her, and worse, it's a hidden issue that I've failed to breed with any female who isn't my mate.

The night before my wedding, my mom got into a car accident—she needed a blood transfusion, fast. Her blood type was rare. Mine matched. I was pregnant, but I didn't think twice. I donated. While I was bleeding out, losing my baby, my fiancé, Joffrey Habsburg, and his brother—my so-called childhood friend—Mateo, were busy holding Nancy's hand during her cosmetic surgery. I begged Joffrey to save my mom. Only then did he bother to pick up a scalpel. When it was over, he said, "Surgery failed. She's gone." Two days later, I overheard Nancy purring through the door, wrapped around the Habsburg brothers. "Mateo really is a racer—he hit that old hag dead on. And Joffrey? You were amazing too, making sure she didn't survive the surgery. Thanks to you both, I got Lori's blood for my operation."

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. "Ada, Ma lagi di kamar, muraja'ah," Aku tersenyum getir. '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. "Baru juga dua hari, Ayah pergi Nak, udah rindu aja," ujarku menggoda sambil menekan emosi dihati. Dua hari yang lalu, Mas Arya pamit akan ke Kalimantan mau mengurus bisnisnya. 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. Namun, apa yang terjadi benar-benar diluar bayanganku
