"You ever miss someone you've never met?"
Ike has always been chasing something. A new stamp, a new skyline, a story to carry home. But after years of solo travel, he's tired of empty souvenirs and hostel goodbyes. That's when Raya enters the picture - a whip-smart, charming Indonesian girl he meets online during lockdown. What begins as long-distance flirting soon spirals into something deeper, more dangerous, and more real than Ike's ever known.
Now, in the thick heat of a post-pandemic Indonesia, Ike finds himself walking into a life that isn't quite his, in a culture he doesn't fully understand, for a girl he's never touched - but already loves. What follows is a journey of romance, obsession, culture shock, and slow unraveling, as the lines between adventure and escape begin to blur.
A story about memory, distance, and the stories we tell ourselves just to keep going - The Soundtrack to Silence is not a fairytale. It's a mixtape of longing.

I Still Think of You When it Rains
Some of this timeline has less detail than the rest, but I have better memory of things that have happened in the past year than I remember things that happened six and seven years ago. My memory is faulty, but so is yours. I don't remember every second of everything that happened, but I do have many memories that I still cherish, even if you don't remember them. The difference between our memories, the way we recount them and experience them over again may be obvious to you if you ever read this, but I somehow doubt this will ever end up in your possession. So, this is my memory of you (yes, with our own soundtrack). (A long account of a relationship from the reader's perspective.)Complete
Whisper's of destiny
🌌 Whisper's of Destiny 🌌 By @ashii_verse 🖤 "Some stories aren't meant to be told. They're meant to bleed through silence... and leave scars where no one sees." --- Avni. Soft. Subtle. Almost invisible to the world. But beneath her quiet grace lies a storm she's too afraid to name. She doesn't raise her voice. She doesn't ask for more. She simply exists - until he sees her. The man no one dares to look in the eye... yet she meets his gaze with trembling honesty. Rajveer. Sharp mind. Cold presence. A man who speaks less and controls more. He doesn't crave love. He craves silence, control, and order. But there's something about her - the way she lowers her eyes when he speaks, the way her fear doesn't hide her truth - that draws him in like a storm waiting to be unleashed. --- ❝ You look at me like I'm human, Avni... ❞ ❝ But I've spent my whole life making sure I'm not. ❞ ❝ And still... ❞ ❝ You make me want to be yours. ❞ --- This is not a love story. This is restraint and desire at war. A girl too soft for his world. A man too dangerous for hers. And a fate that ties them together - not gently, but violently. He doesn't know how to love. She doesn't know how to leave. And somewhere in the silence between them, something begins to burn... slowly, darkly, beautifully. ✨ Whisper's of Destiny - a haunting slow-burn of longing, power, and a love so quiet... it leaves nothing untouched. ---Complete

This is just a world that rotates along an orbital path, don't you feel the gravity? Oh, C'mon. You must not expect unrealistic things such as happily ever after, which does not exist.

So please, tell no tales to me. -- Eventho I didn't say 'KEEP AWAY FROM PLAGIARISM', I know you guys are smart enough not to do something like that. Cheating like that won't make you a better human.
