Ikhtiar yang Tak Benar-Benar

This novel tells the story of Juna — the King of all Kings of Procrastination. A perfectionist and a pessimist, his mind overflows with ideas, bursting like fireworks. He is caught in an unending struggle to bring a work of art into existence.

That work is a novel. He envisions it as a masterpiece. In his mind, everything feels ripe — filled with words ready to spill out, like a lush tree heavy with fruit waiting to be picked.

But what if, within that same mind, lies a thicket of doubts just as dense?

“Perhaps there is no sin in my silence. When I think of it, how vain it seems — to believe my words, my book, deserve the world’s gaze. Who am I, after all, to demand to be heard? What weight do my sentences carry, that they must rush into existence?”
