Danish adalah laki-laki paling egois dan brengsek yang pernah kutemui! "Maafkan aku, Anna. Aku sangat mencintaimu!" Aku hanya menggeleng. Tak ada cinta, jika dia yang memulai dia juga yang mengakhiri semua ini. "Sungguh, maafkan aku." Aku semakin menggeleng dan ingin melempar apa saja di hadapannya. Dia yang melamarku, aku tahu kami memang masih sangat muda tapi dia menyakinkan jika kebersamaan kami tidak akan goyah walau sudah menikah nanti dan meyakinkanku berkali-kali semuanya baik-baik saja. Tapi lihatlah kini! "Aku membencimu sangat, Danish!" Dan kami dipertemukan kembali hingga lima tahun kemudian, di malam reunian sekolah yang akhirnya merusak segala move on yang telah kucapai!
