Bittersweet Series #1. [REVISED VERSION]
"She was once an ecdysiast and he was once a great storyteller."
How do you see yourself after five years or so? What happens after you graduate? Wrong choices, life difficulties, the pressure and failures you'll face as you grow to be the adult you wished for yourself.
Nahla's priority was a wrong start for a fresh college graduate. Her obsession over Italy and the Italians prompted a dramatic turn in her life, shoving her deep down a hole and leaving her pockets empty. It only became more of a mess when she met a man whom she came to know as Andro, right at the moment she was stripping off her clothes.
But was it really right at that moment?
