Hello guys! Quite long time no see, eh? This time I wanna share to you all about a book (a novel, actually) that I read several weeks ago. You must be familiar with the phenomenal '5cm' right? If so, then Donny Dhirgantoro isn't new for you. This is his 2nd masterpiece.

- Everything's important, but FAMILY is still must become the number one.
