Ariesta Ucky

Don’t leave things unsaid

The story appears to follow a character, Ikta, through reflections on his mundane life, memories of the past, and interactions with others. In the early chapters, he grapples with feelings of boredom, isolation, and dissatisfaction after spending a year unemployed. He reflects on his college days with nostalgia, recalling dreams and ambitions that now feel distant and unrealized. As the narrative progresses, Ikta struggles with his routine, feeling disconnected from his former interests like gaming and programming.

Despite his loneliness, Ikta encounters people from his past, including a former student named Novi. Their interactions spark a mix of introspection and awkwardness, especially when Novi pushes Ikta to step out of his comfort zone. Her presence stirs emotions in him that he has buried for a long time, including feelings of nostalgia and uncertainty about the future. The chapters delve into Ikta’s emotional struggles as he navigates these encounters, searching for a sense of purpose and connection.

Throughout, the story explores themes of existential uncertainty, longing for the past, and the slow realization that changes need to happen in Ikta's life, even if he's hesitant to make them.
