sedikit pun tidak dia menyangka
Explanation:

💭 Secara harfiah, ini bermakna dia tidak tahu atau dia tidak terpikir. Lihat misalnya kamus Longman: https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/little-did-somebody-k...

little did somebody know/realize/think etc: used to say that someone did not know or think that something would happen or was true

✅ Namun, untuk teks berbau sastra, saya usulkan seperti di atas: sedikit pun tidak dia menyangka.
