From 6 to 12, the city bustles non stop. Catering those that work here, and those that lived here. You see the walks of life from your car, from your office window, and from your very own eyes. There's always something more than the surface, it's not always about you, you know. We're going to explore Jakarta through different walks of life, different background, different education, and different feelings.
Viewpoints are gathered through interviews and observations undertaken by the author, and due to creative work, these stories weren't meant to be accurate, but it does however depict the life in the streets of Jakarta, and I hope I can capture the essence.
I would like to share these tales with you.

Kala itu
Love at the first sight, hal klise yang sering terjadi. Apa jadinya bila cinta pada pandangan pertama hingga lebih dari 7 tahun? dan ketika semua itu terjawab, bukan jawaban ini yang aku harapkan? "Apa kamu bisa melihat ku?" Pertanyaan itu membuat kopi yang aku genggam jatuh begitu saja. Aku bukan hanya bisa melihat dia, bahkan aku mengenal dia jauh sebelum ia melihat ku. Ketika ia terlihat senyata ini, kenapa ia terlihat "transparan?"Complete

Threads of Tapestry
Different stories, different fates, different lessons. This is a collection of my short stories and one-shots that introduce you to different perspectives and aim to share valuable messages about love and life. - Sometimes, we just need a story that allows us to feel the things that make us human. That vulnerability, the warmth...I hope you could feel them through my pieces. May the words from these stories reach and embrace the depths of you. Like a hug from someone you just need to feel alive again, the kind that gives you the strength to try and face everything once more. Note that: Some of the stories you'll find here were written a few years ago (around 2020-2022), some previously, and all are compiled here. They are not sorted by date or in any particular order (except for those with several parts), so I can't say the ones on the first pages were the first ones I wrote. I might put here some of my upcoming or soon-to-be-written short stories as well. So you can always pick randomly and read. Enjoy reading! I do not solely own the book cover I used. I utilized and edited the elements from Canva. All credit goes to the rightful owner. - airis, 2023Complete

The ones they only dare to tell anonymously, late at night, to strangers on the internet-because their friends won't believe them, and their families refuse to listen. So, if you can't sleep tonight, open this book. Just don't read it after the lights go out. Welcome to True Horror Stories from Strangers Worldwide. You've been warned.
