Untungnyer dapat lelaki yang ada kedai and bengkel kain batik. Cakap jer nak kain warna aper, terus boleh dapat (specially made lagi uolz!) for FOC. Pastu any occasion, tak payah pening-pening kepala nak fikir pakai baju aper. Semuanyer sudah disediakan khas.
Cerita ni mengisahkan hubungan cinta antara Dila dan Khalish yang bertemu di Mekah. Dua-dua suka tapi malu. Jadi bila mereka kembali ke Malaysia, Khalish keep in touch dengan adik Dila, Haneen. Haneen menjadi orang perantaraan Khalish dan Dila. Kalau Khalish nak ajak pergi mana-mana, dia akan gunakan Haneen. And then Haneen pulak akan ajak mak dia lalu Dila pun kenalah ikut sekali.
Part dorang nak mengenal budi ni, memang comel sangat! Especially masa family Dila dijemput pergi ke Kuala Terengganu oleh family Khalish. Alasannya, nak bawa Haneen pergi bercuti sebelum ambil SPM. Tapi dalam diam-diam sempat lagi buat kenduri kesyukuran dekat rumah atuk, untuk menyambut bakal menantu cucu.
Kisah cinta mereka smooth sailing saja. Konflik dalam cerita ini datang datang selepas (view spoiler)[ kematian Haneen kerana kemalangan jalan raya. Selepas kematian Haneen, ibu dia agak depress dan mula tak nak keluar rumah. Untuk mengembalikan keceriaan ibu, Dila nekad untuk membawa adik tirinya Rania yang ditinggalkan di rumah kebajikan pulang. Tapi Dila takut nak beritahu perkara sebenar pada ibunya kerana ibu dia tak tahu akan kewujudan Rania. (hide spoiler)] (less)

Love:
1. Amirul Naim. N sangat berkenan dengan karakter dia. N suka apabila dia agak kalut ketika cuba mengurat Hani. I say he's every girl's dream guy. Dia penyabar, romantik dan bertanggungjawab. Bila N macam dah separuh jatuh cinta dengan dia, N mula rasa risau sebab N tahu dia akan mati.
2. Naim dan Hani. Walaupun dia 8 tahun lebih tua daripada Hani, N rasa diorang sangat serasi sebab watak Hani sangat matang. Saat bahagia dorang memang indah. Walaupun Hani pada mulanya teragak-agak untuk menerima Naim dalam hidupnya, dia belajar mencintai Naim dan akhirnya benar-benar mencintai Naim.
Jadi bayangkanlah betapa sedihnya waktu Naim meninggal. Dahlah dia meninggal semasa tengah tidur bersebelahan. Bangun-bangun tidur jer, Hani perasan Naim sudah pergi buat selama-lamanya. Hani sukar melepaskan Naim. Bertahun-tahun selepas Naim meninggal, Hani masih bersendiri kerana tiada lelaki yang sebaik Naim.
"Teringat ketika setiap kali bergambar, Abang Naim selalu bergurau.Katanya bergambar bertiga tidak baik kerana kata orang, yang duduk di tengah-tengah akan mati dulu. Dan sebagai mengusiknya, aku sering sahaja akan mengambil tempat di tengah-tengah dan dia pula akan menarik aku duduk di sisinya. Kata Abang Naim, biarlah dia yang duduk di tengah-tengah kerana dia tidak sanggup kalau aku pergi dahulu meninggalkannya. Dan gurauan itu kebetulan pula jadi nyata."
.
3. Haris dan Hani Pada mulanya, agak sukar N nak terima mereka berdua sebab N sangat sayangkan Naim. Tapi watak Haris makin lama makin memikat. Kesetiaan dia pada Hanis sangat menyentuh hati.
"I tak pernah minta Allah memendekkan jodoh you dengan dia, tapi I selalu berdoa agar Allah menemukan jodoh kita."
Dislike:
1. Haris dan Hani Di permulaan cerita, semasa kisah Naim dan Hani baru nak bermula, N rasa macam manyibuk jer kisah lalu dorang. Terutamanya apabila Hani asyik-asyik teringatkan dekat si Haris, walaupun sudah bersama Naim. Isy, macam tak bersyukur pun ada jugak si Hani ni! Nasib baiklah Naim understanding.
"Dan kalau takdir suatu hari nanti ada jodoh dan pertemuan, abang harap Hani terimalah dia."
Nasib baik tak berterabur hati N masa baca ayat tu...
2. Pergaulan antara lelaki dan wanita N perasan kebiasaannya dalam buku Anis Ayuni, pergaulan antara watak lelaki dan wanita agak 'loose' jika dibandingkan dengan cerita sesetengah penulis-penulis novel melayu yang lain. Dalam buku ini, banyak adegan Hani dan Haris berpelukan dengan erat dan juga mengucup tangan/jari. N rasa tak manis semua itu ditonjolkan dalam novel melayu kerana, let's face it, kelakuan begitu adalah haram. Tahulah dorang tu nak beromantik sebab sedang hangat bercinta dan nak melepaskan rindu. Kalau dalam novel English tu, lainlah sebab memang budaya dorang. Dorang buat lebih daripada tu pun N tak kisah and boleh layan. N yang dah biasa baca English novel yang seksi bagai pun rasa kurang senang apabila baca Malay novel yang ada adegan-adegan romantik antara pasangan yang belum berkahwin seperti ini. (less)

I'll be honest and say I was really sad that hubungan Iddya dengan Lufti tak menjadi. N rasa chemistry between Iddya dengan Lufti memang ada since their first meeting. But their circumstances being what it is, memang mati hidup semula pun, relationship dorang takkan berubah.
Bila Iddya rasa kecewa hubungan dia dengan Lufti have to end, N pun turut kecewa sama, lebih-lebih part (view spoiler)[Lufti nak kawin dengan Hilda (hide spoiler)] Boleh dikatakan N pun frust menonggeng jugaklah, sekali dengan Iddya!
Selalunya N suke cerita best friend-turn-lovers, tapi entah nape yang ini N kurang sikit berkenan. Watak Umar memang best - dia setia, romantic, and boleh diharap. N rasa kalau N tak rasa the chemistry between Lufti and Iddya as much as I do, N approve Iddya dengan Umar 100%! In this case, it's more like 90% approve :p
Overall, N berpuas hati. Another winner by Anis Ayuni. Two thumbs up!

But overall, N sangat berpuas hati sebab cerita ni buat N rasa happy and giddy!
N suka sangat dengan karakter Nazmi yang macam kalut tapi sangat sweet and charming.
Nazmi ni sebenarnya seorang pilot tapi masa baru2 berkenalan dengan Ifti, he led her to believe that he's a bus driver. Pemandu bas lar sangat, more like pemandu freaking AIRBUS! Ifti pun percaya. Masakan tidak, kadang2 keluar makan dengan Ifti pun pakai selipar jepun dengan tshirt yang berlubang-lubang.
Yang paling bestnya time dia jemput Ifti pergi lunch bawak keter Volkswagen Beetle yang dah separuh nazak. Pastu keter tu pulak mati tengah jalan and dia tak tahu enjin keter Volkswagen ada kat belakang! Time tu sikap kalut Nazmi cute sangat!~
Nazmi and Ifti make a cute couple because individually, dorang sangat berbeza. Ifti is the more serious one of the two. I have so much love for this book!~

N suka giler sampai sanggup tak tido nak habiskan satu buku in one sitting. Jalan cerita comel and characters pun comel. Cuma N rasa maybe lebih sesuai untuk umur 18 tahun ke atas sebab ada part yang N rasa agak sexy ;)
Selalunyer N kurang berminat dengan gaya penulisan yang santai tapi N rasa intonasi cerita, jalan cerita, dan karakter-karakter blend wonderfully.
N paling terpikat dengan cara penulis menghidupkan watak Nawwal. W'pun usianya masih muda dan manja, N tak rasa meluat. Jarang sungguh N suka dengan watak muda sebab kebanyakkannya tak di-potray dengan berkesan. Tapi Nawwal N memang berkenan. Begitu juga dengan watak Zahrain si ketul ais beku ;) Sedingin-dingin dia, cair jugak kena panahan baju kebaya nyonya dan seluar pendek ketat.

Rasanya buku ni patut ada warning kat covernya: "Peringatan! Sediakan kotak-kota tisu berhampiran dengan anda ketika membaca novel ini."
Awal permulaan cerita ni agak menyeramkan kerana it features unsur-unsur sihir. Ibu Jeffrey yang tak merestui perkahwinan anaknya dengan Tasnim menggunakan khidmat bomoh untuk memisahkan mereka. Tapi yang terkena kerja durjana ini adalah Jeffrey. Tidur dia terganggu dan sering melihat kelibat bayang-bayang dalam rumahnya. But despite all that, rumah tangga mereka tetap bahagia.
Selepas pergi berubat, satu lagi penyakit menyerang Jeffrey. Dia selalu sangat demam. Demam dah kebah, kemudian datang balik. On and off. Rupa-rupanya dia menghidapi leukimia dan sudahpun di tahap tiga, critical stage.
Dia cuba merahsiakan the severity of his illness daripada orang lain. Katanya, dia tak mahu melihat Tasnim menangis. Jika Tasnim menangis, dia akan turut merasa sedih. Yang tahu hanyalah Dr. Ashwin Abdullah, who turns out to be Tasnim's ex-boyfriend, who is now a close friend of Jeffrey.
Tahu hidupnya tidak lama, Jeffrey mula merencana rancangan untuk masa depan Tasnim dan zuriat tunggal mereka Haziq yang disahkan autisme. Jeffrey tahu sukar bagi Tasnim untuk menjaga dia yang sakit dan Haziq yang memerlukan bantuan dan perhatian yang lebih daripada kanak-kanak normal. Oleh itu, lebih baik dia mengundur diri dan memastikan masa depan anak dan isterinya terjamin.
"Bukan abanga tak cinta dan bukan abang tak sayang. Hidup dengan Nim adalah salah satu perkara yang paling indah dalam hidup abang.Tetapi takdir penentu segalanya. Rancangan Allah lebih baik dan mengatasi segala rancangan yang telah kita susun suatu ketika dahulu."
Dia tahu Ashwin masih mencintai Tasnim. Rancangannya untuk melepaskan Tasnim dan meminta Ashwin mengambil alih tempatnya diterima oleh Ashwin. Tetapi rancangan itu dirahsiakan daripada Tasnim.
"Sebab kau lebih dulu kenal Tasnim. Lebih dulu jatuh cinta dengan Tasnim. Dan aku percaya, cinta pertama itu masih bersisa."
Dengan hati yang berat, dia menceraikan Tasnim dengan talak satu.
"Keputusan ini tidak akan menghilangkan rasa cinta abang terhadap Nim. Abang akan bawa Nim sehingga nafas terakhir..."
Kali terakhir air mata N mengalir berjujuran kala membaca novel was when I read PS I love You. Setiap chapter tangan N akan mencapai kotak tissue. Kali ni pun sama. Banyak sangat ayat-ayat dalam cerita ni yang membuat N menangis. Banyak sangat nangis sampai pagi ni N bangun dengan mata bengkak and mood pun suram...
Kisah cinta Jeffrey dan Tasnim ni memang epik! Cinta yang menyatukan mereka dan cinta juga yang memisahkan mereka.
Yang kacau dalam cerita ni is Ashwin. Menyibuk! Maaflah jika ada yang tak setuju. Walaupun N faham the reason behind Jeffrey memilih Ashwin sebagai pengganti dia, N tetap tak boleh nak terima Ashwin. Bila dia gelar diri dia abang selepas nikah dengan Tasnim, N rasa geli jer!
A part of me wanted the story to end like PS I Love You. Dalam surat terakhir Gerry buat Holly, dia meminta Holly untuk belajar mencintai orang lain selepas kematian dia. Tapi at the end of the story, watak Holly pilih untuk bersendiri, at least buat masa itu.
"Nampaknya kita tak dapat bersama di sana nanti, kan. Tapi anak abang akan bersama abang nanti. Nim janji akan doakan untuk kesejahteraan abang walaupun kita sudah menjadi orang lain."

N suka sangat dengan karakter Shira dan Imran. Walaupun mereka dikawin paksa, mereka taklah berkasar dan bersifat kejam with each other. Well, at least taklah kejam sangat. It could've been worse.
Selepas dinikah, Imran berterus-terang yang perkahwinan mereka hanyalah untuk selama dua tahun kerana Imran sudah ada pilihan hati sendiri. Shira terima saja kerana yang penting, mak ayah kedua belah pihak senang hati.
Shira sangat independent, walaupun perkahwinan dia hanyalah setakat di atas kertas. Dia tak buruk-burukkan Imran dan segala kesalahan Imran dia tutup, baik depan parents sendiri ataupun parents Imran.
Berbulan-bulan jugalah perkahwinan dorang ni kosong. Imran pula asal ada free time jer, pegi dating dengan girlfriend dia dan Shira ditinggalkan di rumah sorang diri. Kalau dia balik rumah parents pun, dia balik sendiri.
Ntah kenapa, Imran asyik membandingkan GF dia dengan Shira, dan dia terpaksa akui, Shira lebih special. Shira rajin jaga makan dan pakai dia, dan pandai jaga hati parents dia. Lama-lama dia pun terpikat dan mula rasa sayang dan minta Shira menjadi isteri dia for real, bukan lagi hanya atas kertas.
Maka bermulalah masalah kerana GF Imran sudah jeles. Macam2lah masalah. Shira lari, Imran kejar, baik semula. Lepas tu, Imran cemburu, tuduh Shira, Shira lari, Imran carik tapi kali ini tak jumpa. Berbulan-bulanlah mereka terpisah. Dalam perpisahan ini, datang pula orang ketiga yang jatuh hati dengan Shira. Ingatkan Shira ni single parent, rupa-rupanya masih lagi isteri orang. Ini pun jadi satu masalah jugak.
Walaupun kisah ni banyak problem, N masih boleh habiskan buku ni dengan cepat kerana tak ada moment yang buat N rasa bosan. Chemistry Imran dengan Shira memang hidup, Imran pun time dia tengah baik boleh tahan romantiknya, dan Shira pun seorang yang bijak dan mudah disayangi.

Kalau ikutkan, rasanya buku ini memang deserve dapat 5 stars. Tapi sayang kerana pada permulaan cerita, the setting and the pace agak membosankan. In the beginning, the story banyak take place dekat sekolah since Ana is a teacher and buah hati dia pun cikgu jugak. And the story pun banyak revolve around their duties as teachers.
But cerita menjadi best sangat selepas cinta antara Ana dan Abang Wan mula berputik. Dia orang ni sweet and cute and Abang Wan ni memanglah calon buat suami yang baik. Untung Ana! Tapi (view spoiler)[ Abang Wan meninggal tak lama selepas mereka bertunang. Ah, time tu air mata memang berlinang2 macam paip bocor (hide spoiler)]
From that moment on, memang lajulah layan buku ni sampai nak tido pun pikir dua tiga kali.

Susah nak stop baca sebab drama dan masalah yang menimpa Ilham and Syira tak putus-putus and at the same time, they were being adorable with each other ;)
Kisah yang bermula dengan percintaan segi tiga ini sebenarnya boleh dipendekkan saja because masalah dorang drpd awal sampai hujung ni disebabkan benda yang sama. Ilhan dan Syira cepat sangat syak wasangka, salah faham, dan overly judgmental, (view spoiler)[terutamanya selepas pemergian Aiman. (hide spoiler)]
Disebabkan al-kisahnya agak repetitive and redundant, the ending menjadi predictable. You can tell why certain events in the story took place even before the big reveal at the end. But I'd still recommend this book, nevertheless ;)

Watak Yusoff aka Usop memang misteri dan penuh dengan tanda tanya. Persoalan benarkah Usop dan Lit benar-benar sudah berkahwin menjadi nadi cerita ini. Dan teka-teki itu membuat N leka layan citer ni sampai pagi-pagi buta.
"Mas kahwin pun dia tulis free. Apa? Dia ingat aku ni tak ada harga ke? Jagalah dia...Kahwin betul-betul nanti, aku letak hantaran tinggi-tinggi, biar dia tak mampu nak bagi."
Usop dan Lit memang tak sebulu sejak pertama kali mereka bertemu. Ada jer nak bergaduh, walaupun perkara itu perkara kecil. Sikap Lit yang agak cuai membuat Usop sering naik angin dengan Lit. Sikap Usop yang banyak sangat berahsia membuat Lit selalu curiga.
"Say you love me, then I will let you know everything!"
Suka dan sayang tapi tak nak mengaku. Itu yang membuat Usop berkahwin dengan Lit dalam diam. Status sebenar mereka diketahui semua kecuali Lit. Usop sebenarnya sudah lama jatuh cinta pada Lit. Pertemuan pertama yang disangkakan oleh Lit sebenarnya bukanlah pertemuan pertama mereka. (view spoiler)[ Abang Lit, Jeff minta kawan baiknya Usop untuk tengok-tengokkan adiknya. Bertahun-tahun Usop jaga Lit dari jauh, sehinggalah Lit beri keizinan pada mama dan abahnya menjodohkan dirinya dengan pilihan mereka. Time tu, Usop pun berani menunjukkan diri dengan harapan Lit akan jatuh hati dengannya (hide spoiler)]
Bukan senang nak jaga amanah orang merangkap bakal isteri, bertahun-tahun lamanya. Terutamanya bakal isteri tu kurang bijak jaga diri sendiri sebab selama ini dia dikawal oleh ahli keluarga.
"Abang minta maaf sebab buat sayang macam tu tapi sayang sendiri dah dengar semalam, betapa dalamnya cinta dan sayang abang terhadap sayang selama ini. Sebab tu abang jaga sayang sampai tak bagi tercuit sikit pun sebab abang aje berhak atas setiap inci tubuh sayang. Hujung raambut pun abang tak sudi orang lain usik."

Time masa marriage dorang tengah happy, dorang sangat romantic, especially Zain yang tahu isteri dia masih belum bersedia menjadi isteri. Yerlah, baru habis SPM and anak manja. Masuk ke dapur pun jarang. Tapi Lina tekad nak menjadi isteri yang baik. So demi husband, dia rajinkan diri masak untuk Zain. Zain pun sangat understanding. Masakan yang tak sedap pun, dia akan kata sedap.
Tapi time masa dah saling mencintai, Zain dapat tahu yang Lina keguguran anak. Dia rasa tertipu kerana Zain tak pernah pun sentuh Lina. Daripada sayang dan kasih, perasaan Zain bertukar menjadi marah dan benci. Hari-hari dia maki Lina. Tapi Lina diamkan saja sebab dia tahu dia salah.
Zain pun sebenarnya dalam rasa marah, masih sayangkan Lina. Nak terima semula, maruah dia sebagai lelaki bagai dipijak-pijak. Nak lepaskan Lina, tak sanggup sebab masih lagi sayang.
Bila dah berbaik semula, parents Zain pulak dapat tahu yang menantu dia tak suci semasa berkahwin dengan anak tunggal mereka. Naiklah berang mak Zain yang sangat sayangkan Lina.
Lina sangat penyabar. Mula2 kena caci dengan suami sendiri. Sekarang suami dah maafkan, mak mertua pulak yang marah. Zain dipaksa untuk ceraikan Lina tapi Zain refuse. Cuba pujuk2 mak dia, still tak jalan jugak. Tapi Zain determine, Lina tak akan ditinggalkan.Tambahan lagi Lina tengah pregnant dengan zuriat mereka berdua.
Buku ni berjaya buat N nangis. I felt so emotionally connected to the story. Bila Lina dicaci, N tersentuh. I was touched by her loyalty and her determination to win back Zain's love and affection.
Walaupun permulaan cerita kurang menarik, sebaik saja Lina dan Zain sah menjadi suami isteri, terus N terpikat dengan jalan cerita and the characters!

The only other book of her I've read was Adam & Hawa. I think this one might be slightly better by a hairbreadth. The only reason why I'm not giving this 5 stars rating is because the 'interruption' with the whole loan shark episode. I get that it's a necessity to get the story moving, but it detract the focus away from the H/h. Which is a bummer for me, because to me, the relationship between the H/h is the most fascinating part of the story :D (less)

While I enjoyed the first two books in the series, I wasn't in love with it. I thought they were slow and unnecessarily wordy. On the contrary, this one is more engaging. I got sucked in the story almost immediately.
I love Juliana. The lady got spunk without being obnoxiously annoying. If anything, her boldness and fearlessness made her adorable. Her blase character balance Simon's standoffish and rigidness well. Love them together. I'm so glad that I finally find a book by this author that I can genuinely say I love. (less)

I remembered feeling a bit odd for not liking it more since all of my housemates were head over heels over it. After reading Adam dan Hawa late last year, I was in a mood for a Malay novel so I thought of this book.
And I don't know what I was thinking years ago because this time around, I love it. Love the story, love the chemistry. I love the fact that it's not heavy on the drama. I like that the author focuses on the H/h, and did not expand the story by crouching into a big family drama (which could happen, this being a Malay drama after all).
However, I can't say that all is well with the story (although me rated it 5 stars may suggest otherwise). I can't say I'm pleased with the way the author deals with the rape aftermath. Rape is rape, and non-consensual intercourse between husband and wife is a rape. Even though the husband later apologizes to his wife, it came across as a little blase. So I was really unhappy with that.
But after the couple have moved on from that problem, they were all cute and happy again and my heart melt into a puddle of mush. Again. (less)

I can count with one hand the number of Malay novels that I've read and remembered (Ombak Rindu is one of it). Therefore, I didn't know what to expect other than some flowery, romantic confession between the hero and heroine. I picked up this novel because Aaron Aziz starred in the TV series adaption and while I'm not a fan of his, I find him quite intriguing. So I don't know if the reason why I really like this novel is because the story was entertaining, or because the entire time I was reading it, I kept imagining Aaron Aziz. Either way, it works for me! (less)

The last book that got me so emotionally attached to the story and character was Acheron, also by Sherrilyn Kenyon. I remembered feeling angry and sad for the things that Acheron had to go through - the abused, the humiliation, the mockery, etc.
I went through the same emotional roller coaster ride with Born of Silence because there are similarities between Darling Cruel and Acheron. They were both abandoned and abused (physically and mentally) by their families, shunned by society.
The things that were done to Darling made me angry. It left me thinking "Why??!!!! Why did SK do this to him??? No!! Leave him alone!"
And wow! Can't believe three of the Sentella members revealed their identity in front of the League leader. How will that effect them now...
I love this book. This is the best one yet from the series. There is never a dull moment in the story. I love the dynamics and camaraderie of the Sentella brethren in the story. We don't get much of that in the other books but we got plenty in this one. Love, love, LOVE!(less)
