emoji rindu

Alya, gadis sederhana dengan bayang-bayang masa lalu yang menghantui, tiba-tiba terjerat dalam permainan hidup yang tak pernah ia duga. Adrian Setiawan, CEO berhati baja yang menyimpan luka terkubur di balik kesempurnaannya, menyeretnya ke dalam kontrak pernikahan palsu—sebuah sandiwara untuk membungkam desakan keluarganya. Bagi Adrian, Alya hanyalah bidak pengalih, tapi setiap detik bersama gadis itu menggerogoti tembok dinginnya. Senyum tulus Alya, gigihnya menghadapi tekanan, dan caranya menyibak rahasia tersembunyi Adrian membuatnya terjebak di antara kalkulasi logika dan gejolak hati yang membara. Namun, pernikahan transaksional ini berubah menjadi labirin penuh duri. Rahasia kelam Adrian tentang mantan kekasihnya yang mengincar balas dendam, konspirasi bisnis licik, dan kehadiran sosok misterius yang mengintai Alya mengubah sandiwara menjadi pertaruhan nyawa. Ketika musuh lama Adrian menghantam dengan bukti-bukti kehancuran, Alya dihadapkan pada pilihan: melarikan diri dari kebohongan yang menjeratnya atau berdiri tegak di samping pria yang mulai ia rindu—meski itu berarti menantang bayang-bayang kelam yang siap melumatkan mereka berdua.

Two months after I died, it finally occurred to my parents that they'd forgotten to bring me back from their trip. My father scowled in frustration. "She was supposed to walk back herself. Does she really need to make such a big deal out of it?" My brother, ever smug, opened our chat and sent an emoji, along with a message. [You'd better die out there. That way, Scarlett and I will split Grandma's inheritance.] He received no reply. With a frosty expression, my mother said, "Tell her if she shows up for her grandmother's birthday on time, I'll let the whole pushing-Scarlett-into-the-water thing go." They never believed I hadn't made it out of those woods. After digging six feet into the ground, they finally found my bones deep in the forest.

Kata orang tua-tua, yang dibenci itulah bakal menjadi jodoh kita. Walau sejuta langkah kita cuba melarikan diri, tetap juga dia datang menghampiri. Begitulah ikatan yang terbina antara Iman Afina dan Nazrul Haq. Tetapi yang lebih membengongkan jiwa, ikatan itulah juga yang sebenarnya permulaan jodoh mereka. "Hoi! Alihkan motosikal kau ni. Aku nak keluarlah. Abang makan panda!" - Iman Afina. Pertemuan pertama mereka sudahpun mencetuskan rasa benci yang mendalam. Terus terbenam ke dalam jiwa seorang Iman Afina dan Nazrul Haq. "Buat pengetahuan kau, aku bukan abang makanan panda! Aku adalah pengeran muda yang diminta untuk menghantar makanan!" - Nazrul Haq. Seorang gadis kasar dan seorang lagi jejaka poyo. Bisakah terbibit rasa cinta dan kasih pada diri mereka? Apakah yang mengunci perasaan mereka agar terus menyakiti?. "Dalam hati ini, ada namamu. Nama seorang insan yang aku rindu ..." - memori. Demi sebuah janji, mereka menoktahkan rasa. Demi sebuah rindu, mereka terperangkap di dalam celahan memori yang pernah tercipta. Adakah ini satu kebetulan?

Dalawang buwan ng mamatay ako, napagtanto ng mga magulang ko na nakalimutan nila akong iuwi mula sa lakad nila. Naiinis na sumimangot at sumigaw ang ama ko. “Dapat siyang maglakad mag-isa mismo. Kailangan ba niya talaga itong palakihin?” Ang kapatid ko, na mayabang, ay binuksan ang chat namin at nagpadala ng emoji, kasama ng message. [Mamatay ka na dyan. Sa ganitong paraan. Kami ni Scarlet ang maghahati sa pamana ni Lola.] Wala siyang natanggap na sagot. Habang malamig ang ekspresyon, nagsalita ang nanay ko, “Sabihin mo sa kanya na kapag nagpakita siya sa kaarawan ng lola niya sa tamang oras, hahayaan ko na ang pagtulak niya kay Scarlet sa tubig.” Hindi sila naniniwala na hindi ako nakaalis ng gubat. Matapos maghukay ng malalim, nakita nila sawakas ang mga buto ko.
