Hidden Love

Beneath the karaoke lights and the pounding music, there are stories never seen on the surface — hidden love, suppressed emotions, and desires too dangerous to name. In this category, you'll find chapter excerpts from my emotional fiction novel: The World of Her First Love — a story about a young girl and a forbidden love that slowly broke her… and awakened her. This isn’t just a story about desire. It’s about boundaries, secrets, and how love can grow in the most unexpected places.

The World That Was Never Mine

Hidden Love

I wasn’t looking for love.
I didn’t even know what love meant at the time.
All I knew was survival.

The first time I stepped into that place — with pink neon lights, music echoing through the hallways, and women dressed like someone else — I felt like a stranger.
But not afraid.
Just... empty.

“It’s called MyWorld,” said Putri, my new friend — too beautiful for this world.
“But don’t expect it to ever feel like yours.”

I gave a small laugh, though I didn’t know why.

That’s where it all began.
Not with a sweet meeting.
But with silence.
With a glance.
With karaoke rooms too dark to remember — yet too real to ever forget.

That’s where I met him —
A man far older than me. Too calm. Too dangerous.
Not because he hurt me.
But because he saw me… before I ever saw myself.

And love didn’t come like a heavy rain.
It crept in softly.
In whispers.
In the way he said my name when no one else could hear it.

This is the story I never told —
because love like this… was never really allowed to exist.
