imagine having a handsome, hardworking, responsible paksu like Haziq. Handsome level-level Hun Haqeem, first class degree in software engineering, but a full time farmer and part time bilal masjid kampung.
          
          and here come Seri Irdina, a 17 y/o girl with anger issue and adhd. Tetiba join geng anak yatim piatu lepas kematian ibunya, and terpaksa ikut paksu ke kampung sebab takde siapa dah nak kutip dia (jk she dont want to live with her maternal relative). 
          
          and nenek? tunggu waktu je dia kena sepak dengan Seri. Tapi nenek pandai buat kuih seri muka, and oh God, Seri loves seri muka. Takpelah, dia bagi chance lagi kat nenek.
          
          and humairah anak mail kedai ikan? sangat hyper sampai buatkan seri nak terjun bangunan sebab tak nak layan dia.
          What  about Wiyah anak mek kemboja jual kahwin? heh, suka bawak seri masuk reban ayam sebab nak buat dokumentari ayam meneran.
          Tapi yang lagi membimbangkan, tak lain tak bukan makcik-makcik bawang yang tak habis-habis bagi Seri makan sambil kutuk orang, sampai Seri naik 10kg bila dia timbang.

          -- if you're looking for dark academia story ( mystery with romancy sub plot), here is it.  I was planning to make it more to revolution + againts the whole inequality treatment, but ehh i suddenly feel like mystery + horror is better. But it is not entirely horror. I wont focus on romance but there is some. they all try their hardest to survive, let alone finding time to date haha.
          
          on side note, babel by r.f. kuang is such a good novel if you want to start reading dark academia story. the world building is so marvelous. You can also try "if we were villain" ,  "the maidens" & "the secret society". and the dead poet society is also good if you prefer watching movie!

and if you want to support local, you can read novels from Nadiah Zakaria. Both of her novels are well-written

BTWWW i know i'll probably could never write a story till the end BUT i really like how imaginative am i when brainstorming ( brainstorming = scroll tt) . but anywayyyy for kerusi kosong, the main character is hani. Hani is me, me is Hani. Hani is that plain girl you see sitting alone in the dark corner of old library. It's not that she doesnt have a friends, girl is just hating everyone ( note ; she is a cute introver ;') ). girl consumes caffeine like it is the only thing that keep her alive. anyways, girl hates confrotation. she rather do the freerider's task than scolding her ( wait she sound like me). And she is emotionally detached. like you can tell her that you just lost someone dear, and hani would be like "oh okay" LIKE GIRL REALLY DONT KNOW WHAT TO SAY

alsooo the librarian did actually changes the light bulb a few times, but the light is still flickering. It was actually bcs of the faulty electrical circuit, which no one seems to care enough to fix. and the librarian also offer a new seat for hani, somewhere where the light is okay.
            
            but hani refuses, feeling comfort in her usual seat. this shows no matter how many try to help hani, this will not change anything if hani herself didnt want to help herself. hani is the circuit, the light bulb is her mental condition

sooo the light actually represents Hani's mental state. It is always flickering, but Hani never care. She thinks it's just a small incovenience. Sometimes the light is dim, sometimes it's bright. 
            
            This shows the how unstable Hani's mental condition is. She feels okay most of the time, but it was just her denying her symptom. She feels empty, but she thinks it was just a passing feeling. She will blame her hungriness, or maybe her sleepiness. She is okay, she believes she is okay.
            
            But nahhh, she is not. Hani has Persistent Depressive Disorder (PDD).

          The light is flickering again, yet Hani chose to sit in her usual seat.
          
          The dim glow pulsed above her, unsteady but never going out. It had been like this for months, buzzing faintly in the silence of the library. No one fixed it. No one even mentioned it. It was like the dripping ceiling near the back shelves, or the water filter by the entrance that hadn't been serviced in years—an inconvenience too small to be worth solving.
