Tragédia

Liburan semester seharusnya menjadi waktu bagi Alea Kirana untuk bersantai, tapi sebagai mahasiswi DKV yang ambisius, ia justru disibukkan dengan persiapan Dies Natalis kampusnya. Di tengah hiruk-pikuk acara yang meriah, takdir mempermainkannya. Dalam insiden tak terduga, ia menabrak seorang pria di koridor kampus, menumpahkan kopi ke jas mahalnya. Pria itu bukan sembarang orang, melainkan Alden Dirgantara, CEO muda yang sukses, alumni yang menjadi kebanggaan universitas, dan sosok yang dikabarkan dingin dan tak tersentuh. Kejadian memalukan itu seharusnya menjadi yang terakhir, namun ternyata hanya permulaan. Alden, yang terkesan dengan presentasi Alea, menawarkan posisi magang di perusahaannya. Alea terpaksa menerima, membawa dirinya dari dunia kampus yang penuh warna ke lingkungan kantor yang serba kaku. Di sana, ia harus berhadapan dengan rekan kerja yang kompetitif dan rumor yang beredar tentang hubungannya dengan sang CEO. Seiring waktu, Alea perlahan melihat sisi lain dari Alden, sisi yang lebih hangat dan protektif yang tersembunyi di balik citra dinginnya. Batasan antara profesionalisme dan perasaan mulai kabur. Namun, saat hubungan mereka semakin dalam, masa lalu Alden dan intrik di perusahaan mengancam untuk menghancurkan segalanya. Mampukah Alea bertahan di dunia korporat yang asing dan membuka hati Alden yang tertutup? Atau akankah magang ini hanya menjadi sebuah pelajaran tentang jatuh cinta yang berakhir?

My African American Mom married a rich Japanese man. As I moved the skeleton of my new bed next to the window, I felt a gaze focused on me. Outside my window, was the house next door. The house shape was similar to ours, so it also had a window facing mine at the same level. Standing there on the other side was a skinny Japanese boy.
