_**"The Forgotten Lover" - Every night, a mysterious figure visits you in your dreams, whispering words of love. One day, you find a forgotten tale about a mythical romance lost to time to realize you are part of it.**_ Legends say that Roro Jonggrang, the princess of Prambanan, was turned to stone by a curse-her love was betrayed, and her fate sealed for eternity. But what if the legend was more than just a story? When Aldira visits the ancient temple of Prambanan, he begins to hear whispers in the wind, calling his name. Every night, a mysterious figure appears in her dreams, pleading for her help. And then he sees it-the statue of Roro Jonggrang changing. Her sorrow deepens, her lips part as if to speak, and suddenly, Aldira is pulled into a past he does not remember... but one that remembers him. Memories of an ancient kingdom, a forbidden love, and a betrayal that shattered fate itself flood her mind. As the curse begins to unravel, Aldira must make a choice: let the past remain buried in stone or risk everything to set history free. Because love never truly fades. And some legends... are meant to be rewritten.
