Berawal dari lara, lalu berjuang tanpa rasa untuk mencapai kehidupan mendatang penuh warna, dan penuh rasa yang lebih indah… Itulah kisahku, kisah cinta beranjak dewasa penuh drama. Drama percintaan kehidupanku, Cahaya Putri.

The year is 2304 and war has ravaged the world, leaving scattered communities. Keira, a headstrong 25-year-old, has joined the Eagle tribe with the goal of making a difference. Their primary mission is to take back Meraki, a planet that was intended only for the wealthy and privileged. For the past 50 years, raiders seeking riches have taken over Meraki and severed all communication. The Eagle tribe, trained by old war heroes, has been selected to assess the situation and is actively searching for scattered pieces of a space shuttle that was used to travel to Meraki. Keira is one of the few women who joined the force, as most women help out with daily necessities. She has no interest in marriage, but she can't help but react whenever Josh is nearby. Josh, newly appointed as second in command, has a string of women eagerly throwing hints of marriage, and he would stop at nothing to make them sway. His piercing green eyes, sun-kissed blonde hair, dashing dimples, and ripped physique due to excessive training would contribute to the madness. As fate would have it, she found herself crossing paths with Caleb - a master of manipulation with a dashing demeanor. Despite his apparent immunity to emotion, he exuded a commanding presence that was both cold and alluring. There was something dark and mysterious about him that drew her in, and she couldn't help but feel like he had a way of penetrating her guarded thoughts. Meraki is a place for dreams, a meaning to a better future, or maybe where dreams are now scattered by the selfish traits of men for self-gain.

EXCERPT: John freed himself from the security lashes in order to gain more access to Tom. He gripped his friend's waist, squeezing to emphasize how much he was willing to give up for this man. "I can touch you. We can touch. Touch me." Tom searched John's face with his eyes, the flush on his cheeks darkening and capturing John's attention once more. He could feel Tom's uncertainty as if it were a weighted net falling over them both to pin them in place. Summoning his courage, he stripped his tunic from his upper body and seized Tom's hand in his own. "Touch me. Please." John thought Tom was going to refuse until he used his free hand to reach out.

Di sebuah desa di Jawa Tengah, tersembunyi sebuah curug (air terjun) kembar yang indah, menjadi surga wisata bagi warga sekitar. Airnya jernih, kolamnya dalam dan tenang, dikelilingi oleh perkebunan karet dan hutan kecil yang lebat. Setiap hari Minggu dan hari libur, tempat ini selalu ramai. Anak-anak berenang, keluarga piknik, remaja nongkrong sambil selfie. Namun di balik keindahan itu, Curug Kembar menyimpan misteri tua: sebuah pohon karet yang mengeluarkan darah jika disadap, dan pohon dadap besar yang diyakini menjadi tempat bersemayam pusaka gaib: besi kuning. Warga percaya, pusaka itu adalah penjaga keseimbangan antara dunia manusia dan dunia gaib di sekitar Curug Kembar. Tapi ketenangan itu hancur saat seseorang, demi pesugihan, nekat mengambil besi kuning dari akar pohon dadap. Setelah pusaka itu diambil, kejadian-kejadian mengerikan mulai terjadi: orang kerasukan, penampakan sosok wajah merah, suara gamelan saat hujan turun, bahkan ada yang menghilang setelah masuk hutan. Puncaknya, saat hujan deras turun selama berhari-hari, tanah di atas curug longsor, menimbun kolam di bawahnya dan menyapu habis tempat rekreasi tersebut. Kini, Curug Kembar ditinggalkan. Tak ada lagi yang berani datang. Warga percaya gerbang dunia lain telah terbuka. Dan sesuatu... telah lepas dari dalamnya.

Selalu ada warna setelah badai menghadang, dan selalu ada kebahagian yang di awali dengan kesedihan. Dirinya hanya harus bisa menerima apa yang sudah menjadi garis takdirnya dan tak banyak mengeluh akan hal itu.Life goes on. Hidup terus berjalan tak peduli bagaimana hidup mempermainkanmu.

At first, I thought life was so easy but as the years had passed, I realized that life is obnoxious, specially for those poor who pray every day to win in a lottery. Since I was a kid, I already had carried a big responsibility in my arms, sometimes making me question myself whether I was born to live happily or the other way around. My mom and father had a divorce when I was a kid, and unluckily, she made me choose between her and papa. And now, too bad but I regretted nothing. On that day, I chose my dad, and never in million of years would I become jealous to my sister (who had chosen mom) just because she is rich and can buy anything she wants. I was used at buying my only basic needs, securing the rest of my money for future because I know I will still be the only one who can benefit at the end. I was just living peacefully, without having any regrets and doubts, but there is a man named Spencer whose arrogance could reach the planet Jupiter. And I can't deny he got the looks that made everyone to flicker after him. But never in million years would I become fluttered just because of silly and corny jokes from him. But I became tongue-tied for predicting everything. Because I was wrong for judging him like that.
