No human that I could fully trust except for myself. In the middle of silence, a moment when all people are gone, I'm truly faithful - become a protector to myself who are lacerated. This chain might tie my body, but will never exceed my body. I will always be there for myself, strengthen myself behind this scar, softly whispered "I am here...even universe always betray you" ~ asma.niin

Translated by me

Lizzy is the owner of a famous YouTube account, DayswithLyzz. Lizzy has more than 200, 000 subscribers. Every week she would upload her latest video. People always waited for videos from her. What video? Videos of her doing daily activities.

Waking up from sleep, having breakfast, getting ready, work, cooking, going for a walk, washing laundry and anything else. Easy to say, a life as a human. Oh yes! Besides becoming a YouTuber, Lizzy also doing a freelance job. So, if she wants focus doing her work, Lizzy would do a recording session WorkwithLyzz that becomes hours longer.

Honestly, at first Lizzy would never thought there's people watching her videos. But later that, they are more interested to watch Lizzy's life that is not that interesting at all.

One day, when Lizzy records herself editing the video inside a cafe, she was approached by a woman that probably same age with her. That woman is in shabby clothes and there is a large bag pinched in her armpit.

Lizzy bearing her head and feels weird. She asked "Yes, is there anything that I can help you?"

The woman nodded and digs her hand in the bag, then...

Splash!

"Argh!" Lizzy screamed in pain. Many people quickly helped her and restrain the woman from running away. Her face was splashed with acid.

"You don't need to lie everyone with your life in front of your camera, Lyzz! You better admit it! I don't like seeing you! I hate you!"

That voice...Lizzy recognized the voice. That's Chrissy's voice, Lizzy's classmate that is always not satisfied with her since long ago. Now this, Lizzy don't get it...what did she do wrong?

No Electricity

Adapted from "Tak Ada Elektrik" by Khairunnisaq

Translated by me

"Power outage, oi! Power outage!"

The entire household become noisy. My younger brother who was still little running towards mum. He was scared of dark.

"Sis! Do you have a candle?"

"I have a Shopee lamp!" I shouted from upstairs.

I put the one lamp inside a room, one is for stairs that we climbed on. We siblings gather around inside my room along with my mum. We talked, eat snacks and telling stories about anything. Until we dozed off, cramping together in this room.

That midnight, I was awake. My throat feels thirsty. I got out from the room and took the lamp and walked down into the kitchen. The house is still dark. I grabbed some water that is losing its cool inside the refrigerator.

While washing the mug inside the sink, I have noticed something. There is a light from my neighbour's house. Feeling disbelief, I opened the window. That's right! The neighbour's house are so bright. Not just their house, the rest are the same too. Means my house is only place that has no electricity. I quickly went to the main fuse.

"Huh...if it's like this, we don't have any electricity even until next year"

That fuse is just knocked down!

Overthinking

Adapted from "Overthinking" Jjene Ly

Translated by me

His cheerful face suddenly changed into without a smile as if I made a mistake that morning. I was chatting with my husband as usual, feeling confused why he became silent and refused to talk. He's like trying to avoid having a conversation with me.

When my husband walked out heading to his workplace, he didn't kiss my forehead like always. He even tried to avoid me when I want to hug him.

'Why? Did I say something that broke his heart?' I said in my heart.

Later and I have so many thoughts that morning. Until I had this negative feeling that my husband doesn't love me anymore. I sat and took my phone from the table. I was startled for awhile.

"Oh my gosh! No wonder he is so mad. I forgot to pack his meal for him to bring in his workplace" I said, while facepalming.

All the negative thoughts stopped at that moment. My husband was angry at me for not cooking some meals that morning. Forgive your forgetful wife, dear husband...

Bolehkah kita berhenti berkata pada orang...

Dia masih "ibu" kamu

Dia masih "ayah" kamu

Dia masih "abang" kamu

Atau "kakak" kamu...

Toksik ialah toksik

Tidak kira ia keluarga atau tidak...

Kamu ada hak untuk meninggalkan dari orang

Yang sering menyakiti kamu

Dengarkan ini sekali lagi

First Love

Adapted from "Cinta Pertama" by Amiratul Hasanah

Translated to English by Jeanette

Monica lays herself on her bed. She lets out a sigh. "I am 26 years old, but still single. All of my friends were already married and had children", sighed Monica. Suddenly, she remembers a book about looking for a partner that she bought from an auntie who runs a business at a sidewalk of her apartment.

She then took the book out. According to a guide that is written, she only needs to prepare two sticks of lollipops and a container of jelly candies. After reading the spells a few times using the candy, I closed my eyes. Waiting for an ideal man to appear in front of the eyes. For a few moments, she felt like an idiot person being tricked by this auntie who wanted some advantages.

"Damn it, I have been tricked by this auntie! This is all nonsense." Monica quickly climbs onto her bed again and gets to sleep.

Ring!

"Monica? Monica, wake up. You're late already". Monica catches the voice of a man who had a soft voice, and opens her eyes. How shocked she was when I saw a man standing on the side of her bed. But what shocked her most was this man is like made out of a drawing and paper. It's a second-dimension!

Monica then screamed, "Who are you?"

"I am your first love, Princess Monica. Did you summon me last night?" "Huh? Last night?" Monica then grabs the looking for a partner book beside her.

"A first love that truly the first will appear themselves within sun rises". Monica stared at the drawing that moves in front of her. Forehead slapped. "Monica, why anime was your first love?"

She remembers when she was in school, she drew her favourite anime character from Demon Slayer named Tanjiro Kamado and wrote 'My First Love' beside the character. "If it's true Tanjiro was my first love, at least he would have appeared perfectly just like in the anime! Not the horrible drawing I did!" Monica slammed the book shut.

Paper Tanjiro only stared at Monica while eating a jelly candy inside a container.
