🧣Tudung Merah, Lemon Candy 🍋
17 parts Complete Puteri used to run a quiet matchmaking blog.
Then came the man who called it love and left her with silence.
After the trial, after the media noise, she retreats - into therapy, into shadows, into the safety of small things: a chipped mug, a tin of lemon candy, and a red scarf that remembers more than she does.
She doesn't expect Ilham - a quiet man with calm hands and gentle questions. He doesn't ask for her story. He just stays long enough to witness it unfold.
This isn't a story of rescue.
It's a story of remembering.
That love can arrive slowly. Softly.
That it can sound like, "You don't owe me anything - but if you want to build something, I'm here."
✨ A romance about reclaiming voice, surviving silence, and finding warmth in a world that once turned too loud.
