Kalau urusan hati bisa kayak gitu, pagi-pagi buta gue udah antri depan bengkel." -Alya, a successful banker but pathetic in love- But sometimes, everything happened for a reason.

He is the only person I wish I could pass the future with. It used to be like that. Without knowing anything, I thought everything is fine. I will have my own perfect life soon... Until that night changed everything. "Maaf, sebenarnya rasa itu sudah lama nggak ada lagi, Na." I believe that I have laid my heart on a man who deserves it. But not with that all of the lies and what he had hidden behind me--behind the things that we called as a 'relationship'--when I have to admit that for all these years I'm just the extra person in his life.

On the day when people told me that he's not here anymore... they don't know... for both of us, deep down in our hearts, we're both know..." ... that we're still connected."

Nothing matters to them except the other person's perception of themselves. Achievement, success, intelligence, and wealth are all things that both parties strive to "keep" in order for others-those who judge things based on what they see-to keep them together.
