Bangkok, kota yang tak pernah tidur. Di tengah gemerlap gedung-gedung tinggi dan hiruk pikuk kendaraan, ada dua dunia yang berbeda namun saling bersinggungan. Dunia Ling-Ling Kwong yang megah, penuh dengan jadwal rapat yang padat, keputusan-keputusan besar, dan tekanan sebagai CEO muda yang memikul nama besar keluarganya. Dan dunia Orm Kornnaphat yang sederhana, dihiasi senyum tulus, semangat belajar, dan perjuangan untuk mendukung keluarganya.

Malam itu, di tengah hujan rintik, Ling-Ling berdiri di tepi jendela kantor di lantai tiga puluh. Tatapannya menerawang ke jalanan yang dipenuhi lampu kendaraan. Bagi orang lain, hidupnya mungkin terlihat sempurna-kekuasaan, kekayaan, dan keluarga yang selalu mendukungnya. Tapi jauh di dalam hatinya, ada kehampaan yang sulit dijelaskan, seolah-olah sesuatu yang penting telah lama hilang.

Di sisi lain kota, Orm sibuk mengatur kursi-kursi di kafe kecil milik ibunya. Tawa riang anak muda itu memenuhi ruangan, menjadi pengingat bahwa kebahagiaan tak selalu datang dari materi. Namun di balik senyum cerahnya, ada perjuangan berat yang hanya ia dan keluarganya yang tahu.

Dua hati yang berlawanan arah, dua takdir yang tak pernah terpikirkan akan bertemu. Namun kehidupan, seperti hujan yang turun tanpa aba-aba, sering kali membawa kejutan yang tak terduga. Sebuah pertemuan singkat di universitas yang dimiliki keluarga Ling-Ling akan menjadi awal dari cerita mereka-cerita tentang cinta yang harus berjuang melawan perbedaan, tentang keluarga yang menjadi pijakan, dan tentang keberanian untuk menemukan kebahagiaan sejati.

Karena terkadang, kebahagiaan itu bukan tentang apa yang kita miliki, tapi tentang siapa yang berani kita perjuangkan.

« Alright, guys ? What do you think about past life and reincarnations ? » Dean was taken aback by Win's word toward his two friends. Who would ask such questions in the middle of the day. But honestly ? He was interested in their thoughts and chose to remain silent. Both Tom and Yong Gi were rendered speechless and didn't utter a word for some time. Yong Gi was knitting his brows wondering when the topic had changed. « Are you talking about the things that you see in the movie ? I mean like ... Avatar : the Air bender or something like that ? » « Without the power of air but you're getting close yeah. » ----- This is the real first fiction I have ever tried to write. As it is taking quite some time to be finished, I didn't publish it yet but would like to receive some positive advice and opinion on it too. Be aware that I am going to touch on some difficult subjects such as psychological and physical violence, even if not too deeply. My purpose is not to hurt anyone and so hope you won't see it as a personal attaque but rather a simple reference to possible events in life. ----- Began : 05/2020 Published : 09/2020 Finished : 22/12/2020 ---- This is a work of fiction and has nothing to do with any real event or person. It all started from a question and has the only aim to answer it. It is very loosely based on fictions and drama's characters or public personality's personality. I merely used fictional and real characters' names for identification purposes. I do not own any of them, credits go to their respective original owners. Credit to the rightful owner for the characters pictures, it has been taken on Ohm, Prem, Boun and co's social media ^^.

Her Voice by navxBliss23
25 parts Ongoing Mature
Orm was on a video call with her friend, catching up after moving to the U.S. with her family. During the conversation, Orm unexpectedly spotted Ling, a beautiful stranger in the background. She was captivated by Ling's beauty, developing a crush without meaning to, and found herself focusing on her for the rest of the call. Afterward, Orm asked her friend who the person in the video was, and her friend explained that Ling was her cousin's colleague. That was the last time Orm saw Ling-until months later. When Christmas came around, Orm decided to visit the Philippines for a five-day vacation and reunite with friends. During another video call with that same friend, Orm saw Ling again, this time a bit tipsy, celebrating the holidays. The memory of her first encounter with Ling came rushing back, and coincidentally, it was the day of Orm's flight back home. After arriving in Cebu, Orm spent time with family before heading to her friend's house. To her surprise, Ling was there, one of her friend's cousin's close friends. Meeting Ling in person left Orm in awe-she was even more stunning than on video. Feeling nervous, Orm decided to have a drink to build up the courage to ask for Ling's social media handle. She succeeded and even asked for a selfie as a keepsake. Once back in the U.S., Orm initiated conversations with Ling, and over the next four months, they grew closer, realizing they had so much in common. Their conversations were genuine, and without realizing it, Orm had fallen deeply for Ling. They eventually planned to meet during the summer for a beach trip, excited to spend time together. When summer came, they met again and traveled to Siargao, one of the Philippines' famous beach destinations. They didn't plan anything romantic, just a fun getaway as close friends. They spent the entire day surfing together, enjoying every moment.
