Love Lust And Life

Between Love And Ideals, merupakan buku fiksi yang berisi tentang semangat remaja millenial dalam meraih mimpi di era globalisasi. Di mana kebanyakan remaja pada umumnya sibuk akan cinta, berbeda halnya dengan Keina yang kepalanya tak pernah sepi dari kata ‘Cita-Cita’. Buku ini hadir untuk memotivasi pembaca agar peduli dengan masa depan, masa yang akan datang. Juga mengajak pembaca agar keluar dari zona nyaman dan berani mencoba hal baru. Membuka mata bahwa dunia tidak pernah berhenti menyajikan sebuah pelajaran. Khususnya tentang arti kehidupan. Tentang arti sahabat. Sebuah hubungan yang di dalamnya berisi dorongan semangat untuk melakukan hal yang bermanfaat. Saling menggenggam menuju kesuksesan yang gemilang. Tak lupa, dari buku ini penulis juga ingin menyampaikan tentang pelajaran yang dapat dipetik dari sebuah kehilangan. Kehilangan mengajarkan kepada seseorang betapa berharganya sebuah kebersamaan. Kebersamaan yang tidak bisa kembali diulang. Jika pun bisa, tokohnya akan berbeda. Jadi nikmatilah setiap moment yang ada, dengan siapa pun kalian melaluinya. Kita tidak pernah tahu apa yang akan terjadi di kemudian hari. Belajar dari kesendirian, bahwa manusia kuat bukanlah mereka yang menang dalam pertarungan gulat. Manusia kuat adalah manusia yang tetap berdiri kokoh meskipun berulang kali badai menghampiri. Tidak perlu terburu-buru bermain dengan rasa. Akan ada masanya untuk merasakan manisnya cinta yang sesungguhnya. Melangkahlah sejauh yang kalian bisa, bermimpilah setinggi mungkin. Dengan niat yang mantap, semangat pantang menyerah, tekad yang melekat kuat, juga usaha yang sungguh-sungguh, maka kesuksesan bukanlah sebuah kemustahilan.

My mate, Charles, commander of the fire brigade, left me alone in the den with our unborn pup after I refused his request to bring his first love, Lisa, and her pup into our home so he could take care of them.

He was in the infirmary, not for duty, but with Lisa and her pup. After losing my pup, I walked away—shattered, betrayed, and done.
