When he finishes, his arms are around me again and a familiar gleam is in his eyes. "You're very sure of yourself." "No, I'm sure of you." I curl my hands into his coat. "Of us ↗

Lebih baik bertengkar karena cinta daripada diam kesepian menanggung benci Sebab, hidup dengan seseorang yang dicinta memang tidak sunyi dari sakit di raga tapi, hidup tanpa seseorang yang mencinta membuat orang mengundang rasa sakit di jiwa ↗
