Buku A Gentle Reminder

Demi melindungi Ayah, aku disiksa oleh penculik selama sejam. Namun, Ayah malah sibuk merayakan ulang tahun putri adopsinya yang ke-18. Sebelum meninggal, aku menelepon Ayah. "Tapi, Ayah, hari ini juga ulang tahunku. Ini terakhir kalinya, Ayah. Bisa nggak Ayah mengucapkan selamat ulang tahun untukku?" "Kamu benar-benar nggak punya hati! Karena ulang tahun, kamu membunuh ibumu! Kamu masih mau merayakan ulang tahun? Kenapa kamu nggak mati saja?" Usai berbicara, dia langsung mematikan panggilan. Keesokan hari, jenazahku ditempatkan di pot bunga depan kantor polisi. Ayah bertanggung jawab atas otopsi. Dia bisa melihat bahwa pembunuhnya sangat kejam dan tidak takut pada polisi. Namun, dia sama sekali tidak tahu bahwa korban adalah putri yang paling dibencinya.

Hujan selalu menjadi saksi dari segala yang hilang — juga dari kata-kata yang tak sempat diucapkan. Nara, seorang penulis yang kehilangan semangat hidup setelah patah hati dan kegagalan karier, kini menjalani hari-harinya tanpa arah. Di sebuah klinik pemulihan jiwa di kota kecil yang selalu diguyur gerimis, ia bertemu Ravindra — terapis pendiam yang menyembunyikan rahasia kelam di balik tatapan tenangnya. Diam-diam, Ravindra mengumpulkan setiap tulisan yang Nara buang dan merangkainya menjadi satu buku berjudul “Fragmen di Bawah Hujan.” Antara terapi dan perasaan yang tumbuh tanpa mereka sadari, keduanya saling menyembuhkan — tapi juga perlahan menyadari bahwa cinta tak selalu berarti memiliki. Sebuah kisah tentang kehilangan, penyembuhan, dan cinta yang datang seperti hujan — tenang, tapi meninggalkan jejak yang tak mudah hilang.
