Konon katanya perempuan adalah makhluk yang paling sulit dimengerti. Tidak sesimpel itu menginginkan apa mau mereka. Memendam rasa dan menyampaikannya dengan kode yang para Adam sulit mengerti. Jika soal Aljabar adalah pelajaran yang sulit dipahami, maka perempuan jauh lebih sulit daripada sekedar memahami x dan y pada Aljabar. Adam contohnya, cowok humoris yang suka menebar senyumam. Ramah dan mudah bergaul, pandai menyesuaikan diri di manapun dia berada. Namun entah kenapa sangat sulit baginya untuk memahami sang pacar hingga membawa mereka pada sebuah kata PUTUS! Cintai diri sendiri terlebih dahulu dengan tulus. Sebelum mencintai orang lain dan sebelum meminta orang lain untuk mencintai diri kita sendiri. -o0o- #challenge30GP
