23 X 23 X 23

"Our heart beats only with their permission." For as long as she can remember, the bookworm Synecdoche Rochet, 23, has lived a simple life in Maharlika Nation—hiding in the grasses and grains of District G to avoid the terrifying power of the Embassy and its ruthless Ambassador. In a dystopian world that is controlled with surveillance, Synecdoche Rochet embarks on a mission to get back their rights on their district's valuable resources—the grains. When she discovered her intellectual ability, she found herself drawn to the charismatic Giovanni, the long-lost Ambassador's privileged son together with other intelligent students, Ulap, Token, and Keithwarth. They found themselves being the tributes on the 2nd Maharlika Spelling TwistBee—trapped in the Word Arena. An annually commemorated game where each district will represent one letter in the Alphabet, spell the given English words not verbally, but by beating other competitors who have letter tattoos on their arms. The rules are to Spell and beat them. Within the competitor's reach, the team-up of Synecdoche, Giovanni, Ulap, Token, and Keithwarth isn't a coincidence, it's a conspiracy. What if Synecdoche's age will be reversed? Will they use their intelligence for vengeance? Will they compel love and trust to survive the competition? Is their life the price or the prize? "Even the shortest word has the longest meaning."

At the engagement party, the champagne tower is only half-built when Marcus Harrison answers a phone call. He glances at me and says, "I have to go. Lily collapsed at the airport." I say, "If you leave, we're done." He leaves anyway, in front of 200 guests. He carries Lily Bardot in his arms, wearing the coat I gave him, as he drives away in my car. The next day, he sends me an email that reads, "Lily will be moving into my apartment. She needs me, and I hope you can understand. Once Lily gets better, we'll get married. Please trust me." I stare at the screen and suddenly laugh. So what he wants isn't someone who loves him. It's someone who needs him. And I'm too independent, so I don't make the cut. That evening, I scroll through my contacts and find a number I've never given a second glance to. It belongs to someone who's been waiting for me for 23 years. I dial it. "Tomorrow night, 7:00 pm. Meet me at the restaurant by the sea."

Malam ini, aku merasakan suasana yang berbeda, Resah yang hinggap serupa ketakutan, Gelap ini menyambut seperti mantra, Menyerap rasa pada kegundahan yang aku rasakan. Di ujung malam ada suara seperti bisikan, Memanggilku yang meringkuk ketakutan, "Nadja...." Aku tetap diam, di dalam kamar yang kini terasa pengap. Udara tetiba terasa hilang, Aku semakin gemetaran. Ada yang datang! Seperti kilat yang menyambar kegelapan! Aku menjerit histeris! Menggapai apa yang bisa menggenggam ketakutanku! "Nadja, jangan takut. Ini aku yang datang menjemputmu" Kerjapan mataku seperti dihipnotis, Ketakutanku perlahan lenyap seperti bayangan yang ditelan gelap. Rupanya dia, di sana berdiri membelakangi rembulan. Dengan jubah hitamnya yang berkibar angkuh! Satu sosok yang memberiku kehidupan yang berbeda. Yang menenggelamkan aku dalam asmara yang terlarang. Cinta yang seharusnya kubuang. Namun, nyatanya tetap kupertahankan.
