That's simply a quote from Bill Russel. Tapi bagi Alya, ucapan itu mendeskripsikan dirinya dengan baik. She is practically 'nothing'. She knows she loves Arga. She also knows Arga doesn't love her the way she does. "Kadang gue iri ama mobil. Lecet dikit, tinggal diketok magic langsung beres. 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. Seperti salah satunya ketika tanpa ia sadari seseorang telah masuk ke kehidupannya yang tengah sibuk ia tata kembali. "We are not talking about financial term.

"If two points are destined to touch, the universe will find a way to make a connection, even when all hope seems to be lost." That's what Savi Sharma has said in her book. It's true, though. Destiny is like, it is what it is. But destiny is not always about two points to touch. What if there are two people fated to meet with each other, but not destined to be together? No matter how hard they try, their hope and their destiny just could not walk together in the same way. And that's the reality. "I didn't expect that reality can be so cruel and harsh." "Is the reality that cruel? Or maybe it's just because our hearts are not strong enough to face it?" * * * RESTRICTION is the 3rd world in Retrology Universe ||stop plagiarism. respect each other's works. please tell me if you find any illegal copies of this story||

Ada banyak cara untuk jatuh cinta. Pada sebagian orang bentuknya adalah kata-kata tersurat dan juga tindakan-tindakan yang tegas. Pada sebagian lainnya, wujudnya adalah pekikan-pekikan kemarahan, cemburu yang disembunyikan perasaan ragu, juga dalam corak perhatian yang hanya mampu ditangkap dari raut. Sebagian yang lain, mengartikan cinta sebagai sesuatu yang sebebas udara lepas. Dibiarkan bergerak bebas, dengan keyakinan bahwa ia adalah sebentuk rumah. Sejenis cinta diam-diam yang menghangatkan dada. Tapi bagaimana, jika kita tidak pernah dicintai dengan cara yang kita ingin? Kisah sederhana ini saya sampaikan, untuk mereka yang jatuh cinta dalam bahasanya masing-masing. Bagian pertama, dari trilogi #SebuahProses Mencintaimu.

"Jangan biarkan ketakutanmu merenggut bahagiamu." ** "Aku dan semua bebanku terlalu mewah untuk sebuah pernikahan." - Thalita Adreana (24) "Dengan kerendahan hati, aku minta izin untuk berdiri di samping kamu dan mengambil peran itu mulai hari ini." - Welly Julian Aryatama (28) "Izinkan saya memberi kebahagiaan yang belum pernah kamu dapatkan dari laki-laki mana pun." - Fanny Arendra Soeharyoso (29) ** Lita mencintai Welly tanpa syarat. Setidaknya sebelum Welly tiba-tiba memberinya sebuah hal mewah bernama pernikahan. Menerima lamaran Welly seharusnya bukan hal yang sulit untuk Lita. Menjadi bagian dari mimpi besar Welly seharusnya membuat Lita bahagia. Namun, ia tidak mampu. Ditengah ketidakmampuan itu, Lita membiarkan Fanny masuk dalam hidupnya. Mengisi sela-sela yang belum pernah Welly jamah. Memberi kenikmatan yang tidak pernah Welly sodorkan padanya. Lalu di antara ketakutan-ketakutannya, Lita dihadapkan pada dilema yang besar. Atas keputusan yang ia buat, Lita kehilangan satu-satunya yang bisa ia sandari ketika dunia membenci dirinya.

Surabaya, 2019. Refki mencintai Liv sebesar ia menghargai tiap detik di malam yang mereka lewati bersama. Liv mencintai Refki sebesar laki-laki itu meluangkan waktu untuk memberinya dekapan hangat kala malam menjelang. Meski dalam beberapa waktu, Refki tidak bisa menempatkan Liv pada deretan prioritas utamanya. Sama halnya dengan Liv yang kadang terpaksa menomorsekiankan Refki. Di antara banyak kesibukan yang melingkupi Refki maupun Liv, gemerlap lampu kota di malam hari, dan euforia untuk bertemu: keduanya mengukir momen-momen berharga. ***

[Started on January 20, 2021, and ended on April 11, 2021 ] Into book assisted by Haebara Publisher, 2022. [ MEMO ] Peeps, It's me Gemima. Hear me out, nobody is living in a fairy tale. This is just a world that rotates along an orbital path, don't you feel the gravity? Oh, C'mon. You must not expect unrealistic things such as happily ever after, which does not exist. Even Taylor Swift said that she isn't a princess, and this ain't a fairy tale, so does Adam Levine said that all those fairy tales are full of shit, that is how it really is, and always will be. So please, tell no tales to me. -- Eventho I didn't say 'KEEP AWAY FROM PLAGIARISM', I know you guys are smart enough not to do something like that. Cheating like that won't make you a better human. Please dunot copy without my permission, cheers! ^^ 🪄 Some of the dialogue and narration in (not-so-good) English and have a lot of words. So, if it's not your cup of tea, don't drink it ^^ Cover by: Kak Iyas (descover Haebara) Made with love and affection, certainly provide verification that this work is mine. © 2021 Yourwhitedaisy, All rights reserved.

connected [ kuh-nek-tid ]: having a connection Alfian Djanuar Nandiardji is my first love. 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. And then, it happened again, without realizing anything I have found someone... from my random lunch invitation. "Until he's gone... 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."
