Syila, a woman with a unique ability who can detect lies just by listening to someone’s speech directly. her ears will signal a loud sound when she hears a lie. this ability is considered a curse for syila, because with this ability she has made it difficult for syila to trust others, live isolated and build emotional walls from the people around her. until one day, syila realized that there was a mysterious man who often came to the library where she worked.
Until one day, Syila realized that there was a mysterious man who often came to the library where she worked. The man was named Vino, who always wore a black mask and a hat that partially covered his face, and often chose a seat in the back corner of the library with the same book of novels to read every day. her curiosity made her dare to greet him, and have a little conversation. during her conversation with him, syila was so surprised because she didn’t hear any lies from this man’s words. but syila also felt there was a mystery that she felt from the tone of loneliness that was difficult to explain.
Vino is a talented songwriter who lives with a hidden identity because of his traumatized past. he is suspected of the murder of his best friend’s fiancée, deeva. vino, who feels himself cornered, decides to start a life of hiding his face and avoiding the public. And as it turns out, Vino has just moved into the apartment right next to Syila’s apartment where fate brought them together.
The setting sun cast a golden orange tinge on the horizon, illuminating the face of syila who was pensive on the balcony of her apartment while listening to music when syila looked at the front garden of her apartment, she was surprised to see a man standing stiffly, like a tree caught in a big storm. immediately syila approached him, “what are you doing here? why are you silent? what are you thinking about” asked syila, vino who was still silent at first was shocked and immediately answered spontaneously, “ah there is nothing,” replied vino. syila’s ears automatically gave a lie signal, her ears buzzed so loudly. “don’t lie, I know you’re lying” syila said. vino’s secret is like a thick mask that is difficult to penetrate by the light of truth. Vino who heard that was surprised, “I’m just thinking about the next song I’m going to write.” replied Vino trying to test the truth of the ability that Syilla had, but it was impossible to do because Syila again, again and again got a lie signal from his ear. Syilla looked at Vino with a doubtful gaze, trying to penetrate his lies. As if Vino understood the look that Syilla gave him, Vino tried to be honest with Syilla, hoping that he could help with the abilities that Syilla had, “Well .. actually I was thinking about how I could live quietly without hiding my identity anymore, because if you search on social media now there is a busy discussion about the murder of a woman’s fiancé who was killed by her own best friend, do you know who it is? it’s me, but I swear I didn’t do it, I don’t know what really happened. you believe me syil?” explained vino. sure enough syila’s ears did not react, did not give any signal indicating that vino’s words were true. Syila was surprised to learn the truth, that Vino was the one who always appeared in the news, but she also tried to calm down so that she could find a way out. “Yes, I believe, I didn’t hear the signal lies.” she smiled while stroking Vino’s shoulder trying to calm him down, ‘I’ll help you’ she added.
With courage and trust growing between them, syila and vino worked together to clear vino’s name of the murder charge. syila used her skills to prove vino’s innocence. syila planned to investigate the case directly, by gathering information from people related to the victim and the case. syila began strategizing how to meet and talk to those people by using relationships and connections to seek information and map out the relationships between the individuals involved in the case. syila met the other people involved. “i have nothing to do with this”, ‘don’t ask me, i don’t know anything about this case!’, ‘he’s the killer’, ‘he was the only one at the scene when the victim was found’, ‘how do you know, if he’s not the killer?’ and many more, the lies they told. with this investigation more and more light was shed on the case, free of charge.
until in the end, syila managed to reveal the real culprit, not vino. on a mission to help vino reveal the truth, syila began to realize that her unique abilities were not a curse, but a gift that she could use to help others in need. And in the end syila found peace in her life and began to open her heart to live more happily with all the shortcomings and advantages she had. as well as vino, living more calmly without any more trauma.
