Sinopsis:
Aku Rafaella. Ayahku orang Brazil, ibuku berdarah Bugis. Membesar aku di tempat orang berbahasa Portugis. Cakap Inggeris tersangkut-sangkut bila sekolah rendah tak habis. Cakap Melayu terus terbantut sebab bahasa di rumah habis ditapis.
Pulang ke Malaysia, aku jadi bisu. Tiada teman sepermainan, hanya duduk di bangku. Tiada yang sudi berkawan, termasuk kalangan sepupu. Sampailah muncul superheroku.
Kecil-kecil, aku dibuli. Remaja-remaja, aku dipuji. Meningkat dewasa, aku digari. Ditambat oleh superhero sendiri.
