[note : dilarang membagikan atau merepost cerita saya di menfess base twitter.] 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."

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. I'm not doing a retrocession here." -Radit, a man to die for- * * * RETROCESSION is the first world in Retrology Universe ||stop plagiarism. respect each other's works. please tell me if you find any illegal copies of this story||

Umur kamu berapa? Sudah punya pacar? Kapan nikah? Temen kamu udah punya anak lho, nggak ada niat nyusul? Kerja terus kapan ke pelaminannya? Kaila merasa pertanyaan seperti itu lebih mengerikan dibanding nonton film horror sekalipun, semua orang terlalu sibuk bertanya mengenai masa depan. Sampai lupa bertanya pada diri sendiri, apa mereka sudah bahagia dengan hidupnya sendiri? Untuk ukuran seorang perempuan yang selalu merasa wild young and free, Kaila tak terlalu mempedulikan cemoohan orang. Yang terpenting adalah kalau ia hidup bahagia. Kaila, 26 tahun. Accountant, Jakarta, Hangout, Gossip, and Single.
