“Kehidupan itu punya cara yang lucu. Ketika kita pikir segalanya baik-baik saja, eh malah ada kejadian yang tidak kita duga. Atau ketika kita berpikir segalanya sudah sangat buruk, tau tau sebuah hal baik menghampiri. Atau lebih parah, ternyata hal yang lebih buruk malah terjadi.”
― Nuril Basri, RASA
