Dearest, gentle reader...
Long time no see. I genuinely missed this little space, and of course, I missed you guys too.
Before anything else, I owe you an apology.
Kalau kalian masih ingat, di akhir City Lights, Legal Fights aku pernah bilang kalau next project-ku adalah Use Somebody. But here comes the plot twist... cerita yang aku bawa kali ini bukan itu. I'm sorry for making you guys wait for a story that isn't here yet. Tapi selama prosesnya, aku sadar ada cerita lain yang rasanya harus aku ceritakan lebih dulu.
Life happened. These past few months weren't exactly easy for me. Aku sempat melewati masa yang cukup berat dengan kesehatan mentalku. But somehow... writing found me again.
Menulis jadi tempat aku bertahan, tempat aku bernapas, dan tempat aku belajar kalau mungkin nggak semua luka harus langsung punya jawaban. Sometimes, we just need a safe place to feel everything. And because of that... I'm finally back. Not empty-handed, of course.
My next story is almost here
✨ THE PRINCESS AND THE BLACKOUT; How to Survive the Cold, Mysterious Master Next Door ✨
A little spoiler for you...
A runaway princess. A mysterious man next door who barely talks. One blackout. One impossible marriage deal. And two broken people who never thought they could trust anyone again.
That's all I'm giving you for now
Cerita ini punya tempat yang sangat spesial buat aku. Dari menulis kisah Tiana dan Satya, aku belajar banyak tentang bertahan, memaafkan diri sendiri, dan menemukan rumah di tempat yang nggak pernah kita duga.
I hope this story can give you something too. Maybe a lesson, maybe a comfort, or maybe just a small reminder that you're not alone. I can't wait for you to meet Tatjana Catleeia Volkov and Satyadeva Drystan Notonegoro. I have a feeling they're going to stay with you for a while.
Thank you for still being here after all this time. Seriously, it means more than you know, and see you very, very soon.
With love,
Shine Esmeray ❤️
