Rubi telah resmi menjadi istri dari Jaya Kusumo. Setiap kali berhubungan badan, Rubi kerap mengeluarkan cairan kental berbau busuk dari area kewanitaannya.

Justri pria 28 tahun itu semakin mencintai istrinya. Mereka kerap menghabiskan waktu dengan segala hal yang berbau romansa. Keadaan itu membuat Anti (Ibu Kandung Jaya) terbakar api. Selain tidak setuju putranya menikah dengan Rubi, Anti juga semakin membenci menantunya itu saat tahu bahwa Rubi divonis mandul. Hingga pada suatu hari, wanita itu menjebak anak serta menantunya sendiri. Sebuah nomor baru menghubungi Rubi dan mengatakan bahwa suaminya sedang sekarat di tepi jalan dekat taman. Rubi diminta untuk segera datang. Di sisi lain, Anti juga mengabarkan Jaya bahwa istrinya sedang berduaan dengan pria lain. Cepat-cepat Anti meminta Jaya untuk hadir di taman yang letaknya tidak jauh dari rumah mereka. Saat berada di sana, Rubi kembali menghubungi sosok pembawa berita tadi. Ia tidak melihat ada tanda-tanda manusia di sini. Namun, hal yang tak terduga terjadi. Tubuh Rubi dipeluk oleh pria tak dikenal. Rubi berusaha mengelak, tapi tenaganya bukan apa-apa bagi lelaki tegap tersebut. Bersamaan dengan badan Rubi yang tenggelam dalam dekapan sang pria asing, saat itu pulalah Jaya datang bersama Anti. Betapa hancur dan terkejutnya Jaya ketika melihat wanita yang disayang sedang berada dalam pelukan laki-laki lain. Anti berakting seolah Rubi memang berselingkuh. Tanpa sepengetahuan Jaya, Mamanya sendirilah yang merencakan hal tersebut. Sejak kejadian itu, Jaya berubah total. Ia mulai tidak memedulikan Rubi. Jaya juga mudah terguncang saat orang-orang mencibir tentang istrinya yang tidak bisa hamil. Dan, di sanalah Anti mengambil kesempatan untuk mendekatkan Jaya dengan Agnes, teman lama Jaya.

Rubi kerap disiksa, disuruh mengerjakan sesuatu yang tidak ia sanggupi. Hingga pada suatu hari, Rubi merasa bahwa penyakitnya semakin menjadi-jadi. Ia tidak ingin membuat beban siapapun. Karenanya, ia ngotot minta dicerai meskipun hatinya tidak ikhlas berpisah dengan Jaya. Dikarenakan Jaya yang sudah puas menzalimi Rubi, ia lantas saja mengindahkan permintaan istrinya itu.

Seberes minuman itu tandas, kepala Jaya mendadak pusing. Pria itu terkapar secara tiba-tiba. Agnes tertawa puas. Rencanaya untuk meracuni Jaya berhasil. Dan, saat itulah Agnes beraksi. Dia membawa sertifikat rumah beserta seluruh emas batangan yang ada di sana. Keesokan harinya Jaya diusir dari kediamannya sendiri oleh orang asing. Rupanya Agnes telah menjual rumah itu dengan harga fantastis. Jaya yang baru saja sadar dari pingsannya, lantas saja dikejutkan dengan kabar buruk itu. Sejak itu, Jaya jadi frustasi. Setelah berhasil menemukan rumah baru Rubi, Jaya bertekuk lutut guna meminta maaf. Sayang seribu sayang, Rubi sudah tidak ingin kembali pada pria itu. Dan, jadilah Jaya semakin depresi. Jaya kerap menghabiskan waktu dengan tertawa, kemudian menangis. Ngomongnya mulai ngelantur. Badannya kurus hanya menyisakan tulang. Jaya dimasukkan ke rumah sakit jiwa. Dua bulan setelah itu, ia dikabarkan meninggal dunia karena mengalami kebocoran lambung. Semenjak Rubi pergi dari sisinya, hidup Jaya jadi berantakan. Ia tidak nafsu makan. Akhirnya pria itu tewas mengenaskan dengan menggenggam foto Rubi yang ia dapatkan dari buku nikahnya dulu.
