Divine Love

Super Short Story. No unnecessary characters. Very rare plot. --- In the glass-and-steel heart of the city, one woman’s word is absolute. In the silent sanctuary of the soul, one man’s devotion is unbreakable. Smriti is the architect of a global empire, a CEO whose beauty is as legendary as her cold, calculating ruthlessness. She has spent her life acquiring everything she ever desired, convinced that power is the only truth and wealth is the only safety. But when she encounters Manu, an unremarkable employee with an extraordinary sense of peace, the foundation of her world begins to crack. Manu wants nothing that Smriti can offer. He lives a life of profound surrender, a "divine play" where he is merely an actor performing for a higher source. To a woman used to owning souls, Manu’s non-attachment is the ultimate provocation. Driven by a hunger she cannot name, Smriti descends into a dark, obsessive quest to possess the one man who is truly free. As she attempts to pull him into her gilded cage, she finds herself drawn instead into his world of silence and chanting. To have him, she must face the one thing she fears most: the annihilation of her own ego. How do you capture a heart that has already let go of the world? Divine Love is an exploration of the thin line between obsession and devotion. It is a story of power meeting peace, where a "Goddess of Commerce" must decide if she is willing to lose everything including herself to become a part of a script she didn't write.

INVISIBLE FIGURE

Shanum Asmara, a beautiful 20-year-old college student and orphan, lives independently after her parents passed away. She lives in Jakarta to pursue her education at a public university thanks to a scholarship she earned through hard work and intelligence, while her elderly grandmother lives alone in Yogyakarta, working on a rice farm. Since childhood, Shanum has been accustomed to facing life's difficulties, so she learned various types of martial arts from her grandmother, such as pencak silat, karate, and taekwondo, to be able to protect herself. While living in Jakarta, strange things often happened around Shanum. She felt that she was always accompanied by an invisible figure when she returned to her boarding house alone. When she was bullied by a college friend, the perpetrator suffered a mysterious accident. When she was almost kidnapped by thugs sent by the Rice Lord who wanted to make her his wife, those people also received an unexpected retribution that she couldn't explain. During her college break, Shanum returned to Yogyakarta and told her grandmother about all her experiences. From there, she learned a secret she couldn’t fathom with modern thinking: since childhood, Shanum had been protected by a ghost named Den Mas Alif Bhirawa. Who exactly is Den Mas Alif Bhirawa? Is he merely a guardian, or is there a deeper connection linking him to Shanum? And what is the true purpose behind his constant surveillance and protection of Shanum from the past until now?
