"If two points are destined to touch, the universe will find a way to make a connection, even when all hope seems to be lost." That's what Savi Sharma has said in her book. It's true, though. Destiny is like, it is what it is. But destiny is not always about two points to touch. What if there are two people fated to meet with each other, but not destined to be together? No matter how hard they try, their hope and their destiny just could not walk together in the same way. And that's the reality. "I didn't expect that reality can be so cruel and harsh." "Is the reality that cruel? Or maybe it's just because our hearts are not strong enough to face it?" * * * RESTRICTION is the 3rd world in Retrology Universe ||stop plagiarism. respect each other's works. please tell me if you find any illegal copies of this story||

That's simply a quote from Bill Russel. Tapi bagi Alya, ucapan itu mendeskripsikan dirinya dengan baik. She is practically 'nothing'. She knows she loves Arga. She also knows Arga doesn't love her the way she does. "Kadang gue iri ama mobil. Lecet dikit, tinggal diketok magic langsung beres. Kalau urusan hati bisa kayak gitu, pagi-pagi buta gue udah antri depan bengkel." -Alya, a successful banker but pathetic in love- But sometimes, everything happened for a reason. Seperti salah satunya ketika tanpa ia sadari seseorang telah masuk ke kehidupannya yang tengah sibuk ia tata kembali. "We are not talking about financial term.
