Tulisan Risen

Aku sudah menjalin cinta dengan suamiku selama 13 belas tahun. Kami melewati masa berseragam sekolah hingga akhirnya mengenakan gaun pengantin. Demi dia, aku sampai berselisih hebat dengan keluargaku sendiri, hanya untuk memberinya sebuah perusahaan yang sudah go public. Namun sekarang, sebuah buku catatan usang jatuh dari laci rahasia dan mendarat di dekat kakiku. Buku itu terbuka dengan sendirinya. Tulisan yang besar di dalamnya, terlihat olehku. [ Aku muak sama Valen. ] Barulah saat itu aku sadar, ternyata kisah asmara yang kukira adalah cinta pada pandangan pertama di antara kami berdua ini, hanyalah khayalanku belaka. Kalau dia begitu membenciku, pastinya dia juga tidak tertarik dengan perusahaan itu, bukan?

Meski memiliki keterbatasaan sebagai seorang Tunanetra, Elly tetap profesional menjalankan tugasnya, melakukan yang terbaik agar semua mata memandangnya setara. Pada satu waktu, salah satu tulisan Elly mengundang kontroversi, setelah menyebut nama perusahaan besar di Inggris, Thorn Enterprise. Mengetahui hal ini, Sir Edric Arathorn selaku CEO perusahaan sekaligus orang terkaya di Inggris mengantarkan Elly menuju kediamannya. Dalam perbincangan bersama Sir Edric, Elly ditunjuk sebagai orang yang harus melanjutkan pencarian Northern Union Loot, sebagai bentuk pertanggungjawaban akan tulisan Elly yang memberikan dampak pada perusahaan Thorn Enterprise. Waktu-waktu pencarian tidaklah mudah bagi Elly, tak jarang setiap langkahnya terguncang, mulai dari terbatasnya data CBA hingga halangan kelompok Silvie, yang juga mengejar Northern Union Loot berlandaskan dendam. Northern Union Loot bukan sekedar pencarian, melainkan ujian, untuk Elly beserta segala keterbatasannya.
