The cente
As Anisa regains clarity, she confronts a disturbing realization: The Centre is not just a place of learning, but a machine of cultural extraction. The Centre's fitness activities include group fitness classes, personal training, weight room, and 50+ pieces of cardio equipment.
The development consists of SOHO (small office home office) units, offices, a retail and F&B podium and recreational facilities. At The Centre, we offer a welcoming space for families to thrive physically, socially, and spiritually through top facilities, programs, and Christ-centered care.
Through sensory immersion and strict routines, she begins to absorb languages like magic. What begins as a tempting path to self-realization soon warps into something deeply disturbing. You can count on our team to always promote fair play and opportunities for recreational and competitive sports activities.

His fluency, earned so quickly and in secret, feels like a trespass. He confesses that he enrolled in a top-secret institution called The Centre, where students become fluent in any language in just ten days through an intensive, the process.
She tries to teach him, and he plays the role of eager student, but makes no real progress. She begins hallucinating, forgetting, unraveling. She can speak almost any language—but cannot relate to her former self, or to Adam.
Back in London, Adam offers Anisa the chance to join The Centre—each member can nominate only one other person. She works subtitling Bollywood films—a job that barely scratches the surface of her passion for language and translation.

Her creative energy feels stifled, and her sense of self remains fractured between cultures. Her perception of authenticity, love, and truth begins to collapse. Everything shifts when Anisa meets Adam, a charming, enigmatic man at a translation conference.
