Aku, Amara, gadis 20 tahun yang selalu berusaha hidup lurus-lurus saja, tidak pernah menyangka hidupku berubah hanya karena satu taruhan konyol dengan temanku. Awalnya semua hanya iseng tantangan bodoh untuk membuat Pak Rasel, dosen paling killer di kampus, setidaknya menoleh ke arahku. Siapa sangka? Taruhan itu justru menyeretku pada perasaan yang tidak pernah kuterima sebelumnya. Pak Rasel dikenal tegas, dingin, dan tak pernah menunjukkan sedikit pun sisi baiknya di depan mahasiswa. Tatapannya tajam seperti ingin menembus siapa pun yang berani membuat kesalahan. Dia bukan tipe laki-laki yang seharusnya kusukai.

Ada sesuatu dalam dirinya entah dari caranya berbicara, atau cara dia mengarahkan pandangannya yang perlahan membuatku jatuh. Dan tanpa kusadari… aku benar-benar menyukainya. Bukan lagi karena taruhan, tapi karena perasaan yang tumbuh diam-diam di antara tugas, tatapan, dan jarak yang seharusnya tak boleh kulanggar.
