It feels like when you read the synopsis of Introvert, this book is a horror genre. But, when you've finished to the end of the book, it's undeniable that you actually misunderstood when you read the synopsis. HAHA. Pity you bro. This is not a gay horror story, although the author has previously written a horror book. Before that, let me explain a little bit about this Introvert. Ika salutes with Abstrakim who come up with works that raise the themes of depression, bullying, introversion, love, friendship, family and life well. This is not a work without filling. As I said before, what we read is especially fiction books. We ourselves have to be good at producing good content to be used as a lesson. Don't just read.Tells about a man named Farady. He is depressed by what is happening in his life. Glad to hear that he has given up hope of continuing to live. So, he decided to end his life in a place called Bangunan Alam. When his feet were standing on the roof of Bangunan Alam, suddenly Farady was approached by a girl named Haura. It was Haura who tried her best to persuade Farady from continuing with his intention. What happened after that?
The title Introvert refers to Farady. His life is not so beautiful. Although he is in a family, his heart is empty and unhappy. He was also pushed by his father to study in a course he was not interested in, had to forget his passion for multimedia, often wondered about losing his biological mother and many other things that bothered him until he suffered from depression. If I were in Farady's place, I wouldn't necessarily be strong enough to stand strong like him. Maybe he's crazy and sitting on the side of the road.
Farady's character as a whole seems more alive with the presence of Haura. If he stands alone, he will see many weaknesses and be bored. Maybe because he rarely gets along with people. So, he became stiff. Fortunately, he met a person whose personality was the opposite of his. Haura deserves to be Farady's friend.
But, there was a time when Farady tried to change himself. While in college he tried to be an environmentally friendly person but the people around him were not comfortable with Farady's sudden change because they knew how Farady was before. It is also difficult for us to change ourselves just to impress and satisfy people. Be yourself better :)
Haura -- Actually, I personally like Haura's character. A person who is cute, pleasant, a loyal listener, a successful advice giver and always has difficulties and hardships for Farady. At first, I reminded Haura of the ghost that was hanging around the Natural Building. That's why he suddenly appeared out of nowhere. But no, there is a reason why he was there when Farady decided to commit suicide. They were both destined to meet that night.
But, what makes him angry is when Haura & Farady ignore their feelings. Benda can confess why she wants to keep quiet TT But, Haura seems unwilling to ruin their friendship because of her feelings. So he just shut up. But personally, I really like the characters of Farady and Haura. Their conversation that leads to a personal and heart-to-heart trial between them makes them close in a very quick period of time. And I think I blushed for a moment when I read the sweet-sweet part because Haura likes to tease. But unfortunately..Farady can also not see the gem in front of his eyes and he starts looking at other people. The person who suddenly entered their lives. Farady's principle.
The story gets more interesting with the presence of Adli, Datuk Idris, Fendi & Natasha. One compliment that can be given to the author is that he knows how to hide hints so well that I myself did not expect it. For the coincidence written by the author, sika can accept. The author will surprise you with more than 1 plot twist at the end of the story. The ending that I don't like but what do I want to do. Because I am sure the author knows what he is writing. It's really sad to think about the ending.
I also like the way the author writes. Relaxed but the sentences used feel easy to read and digest. It doesn't feel clumsy and I like how the author tells the story of each character. Detailed and every question was answered well. Like Adli's story. Who would have thought that for a boy of his age, he would have to go through such an experience. Bullied, slandered, recruited, thrown out of the family and plunged into the black scene. Adli matured before his age. The painful experience taught Adli the meaning of life. Same with the story for other characters. Play the emotion of this introvert read.
I recommend this book for anyone who is not fussy in choosing a book. Congratulations to the author. A good try. And I like this book.

Siblings are often described as the first friends we ever have in life. Growing up together, sharing memories, and going through life’s ups and downs make the bond between siblings something truly special. For the three of us—my two sisters and me—this bond is more than just family; it’s a lifelong friendship that has been strengthened by every shared adventure, every argument, and every heartfelt conversation.We’ve grown up together, and while we have our differences, these moments remind us that nothing can break the bond we share. We’re not just siblings; we’re best friends, life partners, and each other’s strongest supporters.No matter what life throws at us, we know we’ll always have each other—through thick and thin. And while we might go our separate ways in the future, chasing dreams and carving out individual paths, this bond will remain as strong as ever, bringing us back together every time.Here’s to more adventures, more laughs, and more memories with my two favorite people in the world.

Hari Raya is more than just a religious celebration; it's a time for families to reunite, share laughter, and create lasting memories. For many, it’s a moment to reflect on the blessings of the past year and look forward to new beginnings. One family gathering in particular stands out as one of the happiest days in my life. This special day, filled with love, unity, and a shared sense of belonging, truly captured the essence of what Hari Raya is all about.
In this blog, I’ll take you through the joy of that family gathering, the traditions we honored, and the moments that made the day unforgettable.
As the morning of Hari Raya dawned, the atmosphere was already buzzing with excitement. Family members who hadn’t seen each other for months (and some, even years) were coming together under one roof. This sense of reunion was something we all longed for, especially after spending time apart due to busy schedules and, in recent years, the challenges of a global pandemic.
The image above perfectly captures this joy—a family dressed in beautiful, coordinated traditional outfits, standing together with smiles and love radiating from each face. For us, this gathering was not just about wearing our best clothes or sharing a meal, but about reconnecting, sharing stories, and laughing together.
Food plays a central role in any Hari Raya celebration, and this year was no different. Our house was filled with the aroma of traditional dishes like rendang, ketupat, and kuih-muih, which had been lovingly prepared by our aunts and cousins. As we sat together, exchanging stories over meals, it felt like every bite was filled with happiness.
One of the highlights was when our youngest family members—nieces and nephews—enthusiastically joined in, offering to serve elders and excitedly talking about their school adventures. Their innocence and joy were contagious, reminding us of the importance of family traditions being passed down through the generations.
In the end, that Hari Raya family gathering wasn’t just a celebration; it was a day that reminded me of the importance of family, tradition, and love. As I look back at the photo, I’m reminded of the laughter, the hugs, and the shared moments that made the day so special. These are the memories that we carry forward, and they serve as a foundation for future gatherings, ensuring that our bonds remain strong.
So, as we continue to celebrate the beautiful moments in life, may we always find time for family, because it's in these moments that we experience true joy and fulfillment.
