Favourite novel!

“‘There are two kinds of men,’ said Ka, in a didatic voice. ‘The first kind does not fall in love until he’s seen how the girl eats a sandwich, how she combs her hair, what sort of nonsense she cares about, why she’s angry at her father and what sort of stories people tell about her. The second type of man - and I am this category - can fall in love with a woman only if he knows next to nothing about her.’”
— Orhan Pamuk, Snow

Familiar Strangers

Romantika

Be strong, our meeting point is in Paradise.

InsyaAllah.

I found love.

You were a never-ending search,
with no answers.

But -

Love is a binding Soul,
that brings you forth
to the One Truth.

You were Darkness.

I was a blinded Soul.

But -

Love is not a search,
it is a lost moment found,
like Light on a dark winter's night.

Celikkan matamu,
sayang.

Ingatkah dikau?

Sejurus sang Suria
bertemu sang Bulan -

Ketika kepenatan
menguasai Siang,

Ketika dunia
beransur pulang,

Ketika Malam
megundang sayang.

Ingatkah dikau?

Sejenak Siang
memeluk Malam -

Ketika kesepian
menemani jiwa,

Ketika dunia
lelah berlumba,

Ketika kau dan aku
berkongsi cinta?
