stars over scars
amni has always hated her name. it means peace, but her childhood was anything but peaceful- an endless storm of abuse, silence, and scars she hides behind laughter. when she leaves home for university, she carries the weight of her past like an invisible wound, held together only by stray cats and a fragile smile. then comes irsyad- quiet, careful, with storms of his own. he hears voices in his head, bears a family history heavy with pain, yet searches for light anyway. their first meeting feels like déjà vu, as if the universe stitched two broken souls together. through late-night talks, clumsy laughter, and shared scars, they discover what it means to be seen. but love is never simple for the haunted. trauma lingers, families unravel, and not every promise can be kept. when fate turns cruel, amni must face the question, were the stars she found in irsyad real, or only a dream her wounded heart created to survive? a tender yet tragic story of healing, vulnerability, and love's fragile power- where even the deepest scars can become constellations. romance at its core - the bond between amni and irsyad, tender, awkward, and transformative. psychological drama - deep dives into trauma, mental illness, abuse, memory, and healing. surreal undertones - where the boundary between dream, memory, and reality blurs. slice-of-life - the everyday moments. coffee dates, art studios, libraries, rainy walks, part-time jobs, woven in with the heavier themes. based on my real first love story.
