Hi author, writing this as one of your readers, since when im not sure but i can say a long time ago, sebab masa tu im about to sit for my spm, or even before that. hehehe saya baru reread cuddle and baru perasan saya tak habiskan baca dulu cause life getting on between. And now bila dah habis, plus reading your messages, i feel so full yet empty, happy yet gloomy.
When i read that you wrote this based on your own life, crush, family, anak buah abang kakak, then i realised thats why i feel so close to this book.
To be honest, i cried few times when read this. Especially on chapters about ayah, when akmal went away. About how people are leaving, i cried, and im not sure why at first. But i guess its because thats how my life goes. As the youngest, yang tengok sorangsorang family keluar dari rumah, sambung belajar, kahwin, dan pergi, it hits me deeply. And I wonder if my life will ever find someone macam Fahri that will love me at his fullest, and got a happy yet realistic lifetime story macam cuddles.
I just love how light your story is and how warmth you can show through your writing. And Im very happy that you choose to step away when you sense the toxicity in order to make yourself happy. Wherever you are, I hope you will always be well and happy, and may Allah gives you everything better in the most miraculous ways, when you least expected, just like how you unexpectedly feed my emptiness with your stories.
Im also in my degree journey btw ehehehe, please pray for me. Till we meet again, maybe in another story, or in any possible way.
Love you, take caree !!!
(will reread your stories obviously, always!!)
