Karya Rin Ahmad mmg selalu dinanti-nantikan… Next year plak baru dpt baca her new piece. Patiently waiting for JET or perhaps DD.

Rumusan Kisah :

Tragedi yang menimpa kedua ibubapanya membuatkan Elsuraya menjadi seorang pendendam terhadap Azad, yang baginya adalah pembunuh kepada kedua ibubapanya. Namun, auntie El memasang niat supaya El dijodohkan dengan Azad; realiti.

Perkenalan dengan Dani Ikram membuahkan bibit cinta; fantasi.

Mengetahui super someone akan menghantar rombongan ke rumah El, Dani tidak berfikir panjang bertindak mendahului  rombongan tersebut.

Kebenaran terbongkar juga saat Dani dan El berbahagia dengan status ‘tunang’. Kondisi Dani menyukarkan lagi keadaan. Setahun terpisah dan mereka dipertemukan semula.

Kataku :

Macam biasa.. her quotes that I love the most..

If you don’t want to be forgotten as soon as you are dead, either write things that are worth reading or do things that are worth writing – Benjamin Franklin – m/s 57

Build it or break it – m/s 73

Enjoy the little things. For one day you may look back and realize they were the big things – m/s 89

Be like a diamond, not like pebbles – m/s 105

Fantasy versus reality. Fantasy always fills the heart but reality always wins  – m/s 168

Sometimes people need fantasy to feel alive and fantasy can be reality too. A solitary fantasy can transform to a million realities – m/s 186

Tidak ada sesuatu musibah pun yang menimpa seseorang kecuali dengan izin Allah – m/s 344

Strong person will not walk away from the people who hurt them. They will forgive because forgiving is their way of taking care of themselves – m/s 430

Distance doesn’t ruin the relationship but doubts do – m/s 436

I think I can relate how’s El’s feeling towards Azad. Dendam bertahun2 tapi bila jumpa, amarah yang dilampiaskan tidak sehebat dengan apa yang dia rasa selama bertahun itu. That’s exactly how I felt towards someone that supposed to be closed to me. Hmmm..

I loike how Dani & El met and how Dani’s ‘snail-pace’ to move on to next stage with El and how Dani ‘flirt’ with El. Heheheh..

Kesian kat Dani when the truth revealed tapi dia tak mampu nak defend himself becoz of his Bells Palsy attack.

One year of ‘silent’.  I can feel how suffers he is specially bila Dani layan balik CCTV, just to ‘see’ El! Huhuhu..

After all the obstacles to be together, that ‘tragedy’ made them ‘near but far’. Kesian El. How could Dani’s family tuduh El purposely buat mcm tu? Huh!!

Eventually, kesian gak ngan Azad. Best man wins, bro!

Dani Ikram – Elsuraya - Azad

Update 12/1/16 - Drama coming soon..

Rumusan Kisah :

Pertemuan pertama di antara Nia Arluna dan Johan Arif agak memalukan bagi Arluna. Begitu juga dengan pertemuan kedua.

Pertemuan demi pertemuan seterusnya membibitkan rasa cinta di hati masing-masing. Arluna akhirnya menerima lamaran Johan walaupun masih dalam proses mengenal hati budi masing-masing.

Malam pertama mereka sudah diganggu oleh Fazleen, kekasih Johan yang mendapat tentangan daripada Hanna, adik Johan. Gangguan demi gangguan daripada Fazleen akhirnya menggugat kepercayaan Nia terhadap Johan.

Petikan-petikan dari dalam novel :

Johan : If your answer is yes, just throw the flowers to the pool. – m/s 143

Johan : Kalau tadi dapat colour LUNA pun dah cakap ‘thank you’, dapat hadiah lagi best ni jangan lupa cakap ‘I’ll marry you’, ya? – m/s 153

Arluna : There is always a little truth behind every ‘just kidding’. – m/s 168

Johan : I know there is a little emotion behind that ‘I don’t care’. – m/s 171

Johan : Nina, look. You are mot an angel either. Neither nor I. so, let’s walk this marriage and learn to be better together. – m/s 173

Johan : There is always a little pain behind every ‘it’s okay’. – m/s 175

Arluna : You are wrong, Joe. I see things as what they are, rather than as what I hope, wish or expect to be. What I see today is it’s my wedding day and I want to be happy on my wedding day. It happens once in a lifetime is what I hope. For you to change is what I wish. And a happy marriage is what I expect this to be. – m/s 179

Johan : Nina, marriage isn’t a fairytale or a storybook. And it doesn’t always come easy. But I really hope we will work this out together. – m/s 183

Cinta kadang-kadang umpama sebuah magis. Magis pula kadang-kadang hanyalah sebuah ilusi. – m/s 194

Johan : Kalau tak nak pindah rumah sendiri tak apa, but come live in my heart, and pay no rent. – m/s 258

Johan : Marriage is a bit like a runny peach pie. Not perfect but who’s complaining. You are my peach pie. Maybe you are not the runny one. – m/s 266

Johan : If you love two girls at the same time, choose the second one because if you really loved the first one, you wouldn’t have fallen for the second. Saya pilih awak sebab saya rasa saya taklah cintakan sangat Fazleen tu. Saya lagi cintakan awak. – m/s 281

Johan : Saya tak mampu nak janjikan awak apa-apa sebab takut mengecewakan awak.  Saya cuma ada impian kalau saya mampu rebrand pensel warna LUNA tu jadi ARLUNA, saya pun harap dapat rebrand balik hati awak. Cintakan saya, percayakan saya, kasihkan saya dan sayang saya seadanya. Will you? – m/s 350

Nia : Kertas tu macam kepercayaan saya pada awak. Sekali kertas tu dah komot macam ni, awak rasa boleh tak elok balik? I don’t think so. Once it’s crumpled, it can’t be perfect again. – m/s 379

Johan : I am still someone special in your life. I am and I will be forever or at least let me be. – m/s 403

“Apa yang kita makan hari ini kita akan dapat hasilnya sepuluh tahun akan datang. Apa yang kita amalkan hari ini kita akan dapat hasilnya sewaktu sakit. Nak tengok sejauh mana amalan kita, lihatlah siapa kita ketika sakit.” – m/s 406

Arluna : Joe, our marriage is like a flute. Holes and emptiness here and there but if we work on it carefully, it plays magical melodies. – m/s 448

Lagu dalam novel :

Marc Anthony ft Tina Arena – I Want To Spend My Lifetime Loving You

The Cranberries – Linger

Cheryl Cole – Fight For This Love

Sixth Sense – Tak Bisa Memilih

Kata Ku :

Memang sangat2 tertunggu buah tangan Rin Ahmad nie! Love her writing style. Lain dari yang lain. Sgt2 rare!

Kisah Nia Arluna yang mempertahankan perkahwinan yang baru dibina dengan  Johan Ariff. Takde bercinta lama2. Terus kahwin. Johan sgt sweet. Byk benda sweet yg dia buat specially bila ajar parrot tu  sebut “I love you, Nina. Be Mine”. Suka dengan Arluna yg steady dan cool jer walaupun banyak kali juga terbabas. Paling sengal bila dia ‘buang’ iphone ke dasar laut! Lagi sengal bila ada plan nak lari dari rumah siap cabut fius??!! Oppss..

I think Bimbo is coming up next??! Hopefully! And pls.. JET too!!

Update 18.8.16

Kisah cinta antara Nur Lisa binti Tajudin dan Syed Azri bin Syed Gilani berputik di bumi Jerman. Nur Lisa gadis pintar yang hidupnya riang bertemu dengan Syed Azri kerana rancangan nakal si adik. Sharifah Azrina yang disangkanya teman sebilik sebenarnya ialah jejaka kacak bernama Syed Azri.

Apabila tiba saat diri mahu berubah orang yang paling dekat tidak memberi sokongan malah memandang sepi. Keluarga yang memandang hina dek masa lampau yang terbongkar dan suami yang masih meragui dirinya yang telah berubah.

Petikan-petikan dari dalam novel :

Syed Azri : Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There are passion, enmity, worship, love but no friendship. – m/s 28

Syed Azri : No, I’m not wasting my time but I’m spending my time with you to make you fall for me. So, another day I can go to her and tell her she is my special girl and pointing his finger to you. – m/s 88

Syed Azri : Let’s be frank. If you expect for a first sight kinda love relationship, then this is not. I just dumped a girl and this kinda stupid to start new so quick. I am attracted to you more of opposite attraction but do give us some time. I know you don’t expect this happening so soon neither do I but I promise you, I can really take care of you. Like it of lump it, just stay here. With me. – m/s 114

Nur Lisa : We are roommate, remember? We will always stick together even after all the true colours shown. – m/s 196

Syed Azri : Love and physical attraction always hurt, never walk together. – m/s 198

Syed Azri : Love and friendship will never walk together. I love you and living together is just not my type especially with someone special. I can’t control myself. I know. So I’ll be right next door but I’ll be here anytime I want. Is it okay with you? – m/s 212

Syed Azri : I am not your friend. I never wanted to be just friends with you. I always wanted to be more than friends with you, but I am probably just one of many stars to you. – m/s 234

Nur Lisa : Kebar kawan saya. Macam garis-garis awan yang tak akan pernah hilang, tak akan pernah putus. Kat mana-mana pun ada. Awak pula macam matahari. Satu aje di dunia. Hakikatnya matahari bersinar tanpa mempedulikan cerahnya awan, nipisnya awan atau tebalnya awan. Matahari cuma satu. Awak kena faham letak duduk awak Azri. – m/s 242

Syed Azri : Boleh tak jangan jadi ‘kampung’ Lisa? Saya dah cukup sabar ni. Kalau awak nak berubah, berubahlah. Saya tak haling. Saya tak hairan setakat awak nak solat, nak mengaji. Saya okey, tapi boleh tak jangan degil? Dengar cakap saya. Salah ke saya nak tengok girlfriend saya cantik-cantik? Dahlah tengah serabut ni. Projek berlambak. Jangan cari pasal boleh tak? – m/s 283

Nur Lisa : Sometimes the bad things that happen in our lives put us DIRECTLY in the path of the BEST things that will ever happen to us. – m/s 289

Nur Lisa : Tolong hormat saya. Perlu ke saya merayu agar awak menghormati saya or should I say even if we’ve been together thousand years, the fact is you are not my husband. Awak tak halal untuk saya. Dan saya pejam mata untuk kisah silam kita. – m/s 305

Nur Lisa : Love is much more like a wild rose, beautiful and calm but willing to draw blood in its defence. A relationship is like a rose, how long it lasts, no one knows. Love can erase an awful past, love can be yours, you’ll see at last. To feel that love, it makes you sigh, to have it leave, you’d rather die. You hope you’ve found that special rose, because you love and care for the one you chose. The rose speaks of love silently, in a language known only to the heart. – m/s 317

Lydia : Have you ever felt so alone and nothing makes sense? Well that’s how I feel right now. I feel like I’m facing everything myself, with nothing but tears and fake smiles. – m/s 358

Nur Lisa : Kenapa Azri terlalu tenang? Selama ini, kalau benar dia sayangkan saya, kenapa tak terdetik pun satu perasaan bersalah? Perasaan berdosa mungkin? Kenapa dia boleh tersenyum memandang saya? Kenapa dia boleh selamba begitu sedangkan hidup saya sering dihambat oleh semua dosa yang pernah kami lakukan bersama? Dia? Dia boleh berjalan megah di bumi Allah tanpa perasaan ingin berubah? – m/s 384

Syed Azri : If you choose prison to avoid this marriage, I’ll be your visitor for life. – m/s 425

Nur Lili : Come on lah Kak Long. Kalau dulu Kak Long boleh berkepit dengan Azri kat sana dah macam suami isteri, kenapa sekarang papa suruh kahwin tak nak? Baru nak belajar jadi alim sikit dah berlagak nak kahwin dengan uztaz? – m/s 428

Nur Lisa : I’m still a great kisser. Plus now, it’s a bonus, a great kisser long time ago is now your wife. – m/s 449

Syed Azri : But here we are. Bind with this marriage and I don’t want to talk about Damia or who else. Nobody in my heart after you. Nobody. It just you. Then, now and forever. If else I won’t marry you. You know me inside out Lisa. – m/s 463

Nur Lisa : Bila seseorang itu kerap jatuh cinta, ertinya dia belum berjaya mencintai dirinya sendiri tapi kalau jatuh cinta berulang kali dengan orang yang sama bagaimana? Saya keliru. – m/s 464

Nur Lisa : First I love him. Always and forever. Second, I want to be forgiven by Allah for the countless wrongs I did and I do every day and yet I am unwilling to forgive others for any wrong done to me? FYI, I’ve forgiven my husband. – m/s 479

Syed Azri : There should be a reason. Jealousy comes from insecurities. It also comes with tag and huge price. Love her more then it will calm her insecurities. – m/s 485

Syed Azri : Teddy bear tu kira sayalah. Kalau awak tak sayangkan saya, awak takkan simpan dan susah-susah nak angkut bawa balik Malaysia. Rindu saya ya selama ni? Kenapa tak cari saya? – m/s 499

Nur Lisa : Sayang, listen. Mencari keredaan Allah, tak ada kena-mengena dengan I am better than you but it’s more like let me show you what is better for you, for us. Islam ways of life is the best for every body. Awak mungkir janji awak dengan saya. Awak teguk jugak minuman haram tu tapi apa hak saya nak halang awak? And I did not sulk neither scold you. – m/s 517

Nur Lisa : Okay, fine! You want Jumeirah Jane? Old Lisa will never care with what rubbish you’re thinking. Old Lisa is one hell woman who will not tolerate with someone who broke his promise. She will just leave. – m/s 518

Tengku Akhbar : saya nak buat apa? I never love your sister. Look Lili, in my life, the only person who I’ve ever be in love is only with Nur Lisa. Only Nur Lisa. – m/s 584

Syed Azri : Mencintai awak tanpa syarat, hanya itu cara yang terbaik untuk saya mencintai awak. – m/s 602

Syed Azri : I remember your fake smile on our wedding day Lisa. If I could turn back time, I want to remarry you and make you proud of being my wife. – m/s 603

Kata Ku :

Sebuah hikayat percintaan Jumeirah Jane dan Jumeirah Jo! Hihihi..

Sebab citer ni tak straight forward sangat, so kena extra focus jg nak baca citer ni. Takde la berbelit sangat tapi scene bertukar-tukar, A ke B, B ke C, C ke B… so agak mengelirukan… mmg sebijik macam baca Gadis Edisi Terhad, walaupun tak sama jln citer. Penulis yang sama la katakan.

Secara kasar, mmg ramai kot tak setuju bila Nur Lisa dan Syed Azri duduk sekali. Memang tak patut pun kan. So yang tu aku tak nak komen lelebih. Bagi aku, Nur Lisa dan Syed Azri sangat la daring dan selamba. Suka cara diorang (abaikan tang dok sekali tu ye). Tak gediks nak belangkas sangat tapi still berbulan dan berbintang and at the same time still ada privacy masing-masing!

Memang aku sokong keputusan Lisa nak berubah tapi aku sedih baca part Lisa nak tinggalkan Azri dan keluar dari apartment diorang. Tanda 'comma' utk Azri dari Lisa untuk hubungan diorang. Aku lebih sedih bila Azri tinggalkan Lisa dan balik semula ke Malaysia. Tanda 'dot' untuk Lisa bagi menamatkan hubungan diorang. Huhuhuh…

Yg plg buat aku geram sekali mesti Nur Lili dan Damia. Nur Lili tak habis-habis nak ‘ayamkan’ Lisa! Semua yg berlaku semua berpunca dari Lili.

Anyway, kalau jodoh tak akan ke mana kan. Hidayah tidak perlu dicari tapi hidayah tidak akan takkan tanpa usaha.

Mereka bercinta tanpa Fareez menyedari Jasmeen ialah Fellah Delisya, bos Integrate Landscape yang selalu dikutuk dan anak kepada Tan Sri Farhan iaitu pelanggan terbesarnya.

Fareez yang merasa tertipu selepas mengetahui identiti sebenar Jasmeen semakin meragui Jasmeen disebabkan hubungan Jasmeen dan Iqmal. Jasmeen memutuskan untuk memberi ruang kepada Fareez dan akhirnya dia terbang membawa sekeping hati lara ke New York.

Herlina : To make any relationship work takes time and patience. If Fareez decides he couldn’t ask for more, he will emotionally be in place to fully embrace you and your relationship may have a very bright future. – m/s 213

Fareez : Women are like the police. They can have all the evidence in the world, but they still want the confession. – m/s 252

Jasmeen : The most important things are the hardest to say, because words diminish them. I read Stephen King tulis kat novel mana entah tapi I am very sure that important word consist of three letters and it starts with Y. – m/s 258

Fareez : Balik KL we must talk. I’m still confused how come an ex-salesgirl turns into an architect and now driving a luxury car? I hate fairy tales, Jasmeen. – m/s 274

Jasmeen : When someone is so sweet to you, don’t expect that he will be like that all the time because even the sweetest chocolate expires. – m/s 356

Fareez : Gina is my ex-girlfriend. I want to tell you because you know her and you are with me when it was over. When people said the right person always comes at the wrong time, I really hope they really meant what they said. – m/s 367

Fareez : Lies were like acid. They were corrosive. They could dissolve trust in a heartbeat. – m/s 367

Jasmeen : Judging a person does not define who they are, it defines who you are. – m/s 373

Fareez : The meaning of the pink colour of the roses are thank you, perfect happiness and please believe me. Jasmeen, I meant everything that I’ve said and I’ll made you the happiest girl on earth. –m/s 432

Fareez : Real men stay faithful, they don’t have time to look for other women because they’re too busy looking for new ways to love their own. – m/s 437

Gina : Never get jealous when you see your ex with someone else because my parents taught me to give my used toys to the less fortunate. – m/s 441

Jasmeen : Appreciate our toys and we only taught to give new toys to the less fortunate. – m/s 442

Jasmeen : Being nice to someone you dislike doesn’t mean you’re hypocrite, it means you are mature enough to tolerate your dislike towards them. – m/s 447

Fareez : No, daddy. No! I am very sure leaving her is the best thing I’ve ever done. I will always love our family. She is like a family to me now but turning this relationship into love again isn’t my game. Please daddy. Don’t push me. – m/s 448

Fareez : Telling the truth and making someone cry is better than telling a lie and making someone smile. – m/s 486

Datin Julia : So many girls fall in love with the wrong guys, simply because the wrong guys say the right things. – m/s 514

Jasmeen : Kalau kita tak pernah mengejar apa yang kita mahu, kita tak akan pernah memiliki. Kalau kita tidak pernah bertanya, jawapannya akan sentiasa tidak. Kalau kita tidak pernah bergerak ke hadapan, kita akan sentiasa bermula di takuk yang sama. – m/s 526

Fareez : Stop saying sorry. I’ve heard enough. Meen, bagi aku ruang untuk mengenali diri aku sendiri, mengenali diri kau, menilai erti hubungan ini. m/s 528

Iqmal : Lysha, jangan terlalu lama menunggu orang yang menganggap kita sebagai pilihan kerana kita mungkin akan terlepas seseorang yang amat mengutamakan kita. – m/s 534

Derrick : Learn to appreciate what you have, before time makes you appreciate what you had. – m/s 535

Jasmeen : Anyone can make you happy by doing something special but only someone can make you happy without doing nothing. – m/s 580

Fareez : Your eyes, I dare not meet in dreams because I always want to meet in real life. Looking at me like this. Only me. Forever. – m/s 591

Jasmeen : All the girl wants is for you to fight for her and makes her believe that you want this relationship more than she does. – m/s 603

Fareez : Meen, saya sangat suka awak. Bukan setakat cinta tapi suka sangat-sangat. Saya nak awak. Saya langsung tak boleh fikir kalau saya hilang awak. Saya rasa awak la satu-satunya perempuan yang betul-betul membuat saya rasa begitu bahagia. Okey, terlebih ‘keju’ sangat ke ayat saya ni? – m/s 619

Jasmeen : Betul ke orang cakap cinta tidak boleh diukur dengan mengira sebanyak mana pasangan kita membuat kita ketawa tetapi dengan mengira sebanyak mana dia membuat kita tersenyum selepas kita menangis. – m/s 644

Fareez : Terima la hakikat, Meen. Lagi jauh awak lari, lagi dekat sebenarnya awak datang kepada saya. – m/s 699

Fareez : My dream car can’t drive me to Jannah. My dream house can’t give me happiness. But you can give me all.  – m/s 713

Kata ku :

Being someone yang suka baca quotes, I love all the quotes dalam novel ni. I think I quoted them all here in this post. J

Masa mula-mula start baca citer ni, agak confuse juga sebab scene A tak habis lagi dah melompat ke scene B, lepas tu lompat balik scene A. Tapi lama-lama dah boleh ikut rentak citer ni. J

Suka sgt dengan hubungan Jasmeen-Fareez, JF. Macam rare sangat nak jumpa official-launching couple macam JF. They are like friends yet they are so cheesy-fishy! Oh Cheesy-crazy-Fareez!! You are definitely very unique in expressing your loves! Suka sangat-sangat especially the date-coupons and of coz the marry-me-tennis-balls.
