Legato
A small accident that happened to Rajata in the courtyard of Prambanan Temple brought him to meet Kalyana, a woman who was finishing her novel because she would soon go abroad with Armand, her future husband.
The encounter, which they thought was fleeting, turned out to be continued when Kalyana, hurt by Armand’s actions, invited Rajata to accompany him to visit Yeh Pulu, Bali. Rajata, who was trying to forget his love for a girl from his high school days, accepted the invitation.
In Yeh Pulu, a local elder gave Kalyana a startling vision of an incident from several centuries ago. Intrigued by what really happened at that time, they decided to ask for a favor from Harso, Kalyana’s old friend who worked at CERN, Switzerland.
Unexpectedly, their investigation, which relied on a sophisticated computer named Lidia lead them into an amazing adventure, an adventure that opens new perspectives to their understanding about history, and triggered them to learn from history in facing the future.

Chapter: The Protector“So you are ‘Rajata’,” commented the man who was sitting cross-legged on the living room chair.“I am, Sir,” said Rajata with a slight nod. He sat in a chair opposite the well-built man with his elbows resting on his knees.The white-haired man looked at Rajata investigatively. “Frankly, I don’t know what Kalyana sees in you,” he said a few moments later, “especially when compared to Harso who is a scientist and Armand whose successful career has led him to his assignment abroad.”“Papa …!” protested Kalyana who sat in another chair facing the two men. Kalyana’s fierce face then suddenly changed. “Errr, wait a minute, Pa. How can you know about Harso and Armand? “The father turned to Kalyana. “Na, your papa is old-fashioned, not nonsociable,” he said, “I have many friends who are happy to tell Papa about many th

In the timeline of Kalyana's social media accounts, her friend is seen posing intimately with Rajata on the front yard of a kind of resort. She smiled then hit the 'like' button and left a line of comments. "Looks cool!" she continued to Arsyad. "You’re right! Let’s stay there sometime later!""But that's why I can't see the news feed from of Rajata account, huh?" murmured Arsyad."Why, are you interested in him?" asked Merina while still stared at the phone screen, hoping Arsyad did not see her expression harden a little."You are crazy! I'm not even interested in other girls, let alone, boys!" said Arsyad. "I'm just curious, how come his name is written differently from other account names of your friends."Merina sm

Chapter: AffirmationChangi, Singapore, six in the morning. From the aviobridge window, Kalyana saw the wet tarmac from the rain. The air felt a little stifling, but that couldn't make the smile on her face disappear at all."Why have you been smiling all this time?" asked Rajata at his side."Oh, so I can't smile?" said Kalyana, trying to purse her lips. “Fine, I won't smile anymore.""Well, don't smile too much," murmured Rajata with a serious face. "If you smile like that, I will have a hard time looking ahead, as I want to see you all the time.""Ouch!" Kalyana grumbled. “I'm sorry I went out with you! You turned out to be too cheesy, making me nauseous!”Rajata just chuckled while squeezing Kalyana's hand gently.The connecting flight to Surabaya is still a few hours away. After getting off the shuttle train that took them to change terminals, Kalyana and Rajata chose to sit on one of the benches outside the departure lounge. Kalyana took out the phone, kill

Chapter: Certainty"Your career and wealth are not as good as him," Kalyana replied with a serious face, "but I think you can be like him, if you want to work hard. You have the capability for that.""Thank you," said Rajata, smiled shyly. "So, do you want to go out with me?"Kalyana smiled sweetly, clutching Rajata’s hand that was leaning on the divider of their seat. "Ta, I also have some feelings for you now," she said softly. She paused for a moment then took a deep breath. Her face flushed red before even continuing to say, “And right now, I want you to hug me tightly. It felt like I just see someone I had known for a long time.”Rajata smiled, squeezing Kalyana's hand back."But," continued Kalyana again, "I'm afraid of my feelings.""Afraid?""Yes," replied Kalyana. "How could you, who I only met for the past one or two months, could suddenly replace Armand in my heart? Just because Armand was caught kissing another girl? You also just

Kalyana exclaimed with a big smile.Rajata hurriedly took a shower and got ready.An hour later, they were in the elevator which led them down to the lobby floor."Have you said goodbye to Armand and Harso?"
