Time's Speech
(Bicara Masa in Malay)
Historical FIction , Romantic comedy
Alisha Rahman, a normal Malaysian woman in her mid-twenties, with everyday struggles.
But the last few months was a little bit hectic, so she decided to take a short getaway.
Away from the bustling city. Away from the place she's familiar with.
But things took a strange turn, when her unlucky streak continued, and now, she is in a VERY unfamiliar place. From her leisure time in Langkawi suddenly she's in Pattani?! In fact she didn't even know if she can get back to her home or not. Because, she's pretty sure her home, at the moment, haven't exist yet!
****
There's a lot of Malay term here. Will do an index when I have time.
Loosely set in the time of Raja Ijau from Ancient Malay Kingdom of Pattani (Right now a place in Thailand). This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, places, events, locales, and incidents are either the products of the author's imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.

Thank you for your time to read this!
Just when she's decided to leave the Town, Lady Cressida Belverst is forced to marry Lord Calan Haverston, the man who coincidentally knows a way out. Agreeing to marry for all the wrong reasons, can Cressida and Calan find out where their hearts truly belong?
***
It is impossible to leave the Town, but one woman is determined to escape with the help of her betrothed.
Lady Cressida Belverst has always been judged as a walking scandal. Oh, how she tries (on some rare occasions) to be proper! When her parents arrange for her to marry a rich lord, Cressida has had enough. She has to leave the Town because she will not be forced to live with a man she doesn't love. But what happens if the very man she's betrothed to is the only one who can help her get out?
Calan Haverston, the Lord of Easton, takes the risk and helps his betrothed by using his knowledge of the Town's secrets because he is as willing as she to stay free of marriage for reasons completely different. He has dark secrets he cannot share with her, and his life is not one he can likewise open to anyone. But what happens when she leaves after awakening desires he thought he has under control? And what happens when he finds himself longing for her?
Cressida goes to a completely different place, one she has only heard in stories and read in books, with hopes of finding what her heart has always longed for. But love, mystery and secrets will chase her and it will only be a matter of time before she realizes what her heart truly desires.
