Tano El Filibusterismo

Anya, seorang peramal tarot berusia 22 tahun, menjalani hari-harinya dengan penuh kejutan dari klien-kliennya, baik yang datang langsung maupun konsultasi online. Kehidupannya berubah ketika ia mengikuti event Imlek dan membuka booth tarot. Di sana, ia bertemu dengan El, seorang pria asal Singapura berusia 34 tahun. Setelah sesi konsultasi, El mencium tangannya dengan lembut dan berjanji akan kembali setelah urusannya selesai di Singapura. Momen itu begitu menggetarkan hati Anya, bahkan mendapatkan vision aneh. Setelah event berakhir, nomor asing mengiriminya WhatsApp—ternyata El, yang menemukan nomor Anya dari kartu nama di booth. Sementara itu, pekerjaannya sebagai peramal tarot semakin menarik ketika ia harus membaca kartu untuk kliennya. Namun, sebuah fakta mengejutkan muncul. Saat iseng mencari nama lengkap El di Google, Anya menemukan bahwa El pernah terlibat kasus hukum—dituduh menyiksa ART yang diduga meracuni minumannya. Hal ini membuatnya ragu, apakah perasaannya pada El hanya sebatas fantasi atau benar-benar sesuatu yang bisa ia harapkan. Di sisi lain, Reza, karyawan kafe yang sering menggodanya, semakin agresif mendekati Anya. Dia bahkan membayar untuk diramal secara profesional, menunjukkan keseriusannya. Godaan dari Reza semakin menjadi. Anya mulai bimbang. Apakah harus menunggu El, pria misterius dengan masa lalu yang meragukan? Ataukah ia harus memberi kesempatan pada Reza, pria yang nyata di hadapannya? Ketika seorang pria datang untuk konsultasi bisnis restoran keluarga dan fotografi, Anya malah ditawari membuka booth tarot di restoran ibunya. Selain tawaran ini, yang juga mengejutkan, Reza bukan sekadar barista biasa, melainkan anak pemilik restoran dan pewaris banyak perusahaan besar. Meskipun Anya mulai membuka diri, ia tetap dibuat terkejut ketika mengetahui bahwa Reza ternyata tinggal di apartemen yang sama dengannya—hanya beda dua lantai! Kini, dengan semakin banyaknya keterikatan antara dirinya dan Reza, serta misteri yang masih menggantung soal El, apakah Anya siap menghadapi babak baru dalam kehidupannya? Setiap hari ada kisah seru dan terkadang menggairahkan dengan banyak klien yang berkonsultasi.
