Senyum kecil terlukis di wajahnya. Ini bukan kali pertama, dan jelas bukan yang terakhir. Dia tahu ini salah. Dia tahu permainannya terlalu berbahaya. Tapi bagaimana mungkin dia berhenti, saat setiap pertemuan memberinya sensasi yang tak tergantikan? Malam itu, layar biru dimatikan. Tapi cerita Andi baru saja dimulai.
