Did I Ever Love Her ?
I write, what I see around me I pen, what is experienced by me I express, what is felt by me. Presenting a cut of my experience and sights from today's generation by the teen-gen. What is love - is it an inheritance or a noble cause of mankind ? What happens when a guy falls in love and what changes around when a girl feels being loved ? Stories of the gods and goddesses, the cult romantic movies, the nature inducing within the nature are itself great examples of love and what happens when love takes a form. Coin can be tossed in the name of love where the one side will have care, affection, romance, wonder feels and what not but one who dares to love shouldn't ignore the other side of it - the hate, lust, insecurities, compatibility, past and so on. This is a story of a guy who went onto many paths with a verse of romance in hand and love logic in the other. Did he ever love her whom he thought will be his? Or he himself was obfuscated about true love and life lessons? Dive into a romantic tale of a teen age era as it goes up and at any point of time, it can fall. A peril breakdown it can be or a true fantasy.Complete

If It Ain't Love, Then I Don't Know What Is
Senior high school was probably one of the best moments in life, at least for certain folks. We learn the meaning of life from those periods. It only happens 3 years for the majority of people. But the moments still linger on our mind. Example? Here it goes... "They say teenage romance is awkward-but nobody said it would come with strawberry perfume, secret siblings, and a weeb girl who could read minds..." "'Are you seriously making out with your twin?!' I screamed. Dani stood frozen. Daisy ran. And somehow... this all started with candied flowers." "An absolute affection coming from absurd person? Shining Glasses included... such an irony". And many more absurdity follows... Putra, a normal student that has been dragged everywhere... This story is based on an Indonesian High School, where a male teen discovers a new perspective on affection. *Notes - Sorry for my basic, amateurish English and story telling. I'll do my best to improve. Peace.
