Melakar Bayang
Pengkhianatan oleh Rafeeq, sahabat dalam kerjaya seni lukis yang dipercayai, telah mengubah kehidupan Hafsa. Kerjaya Hafsa disabotaj tanpa belas ihsan dan kesunyian yang mendadak menuntun Hafsa membuka peti kenangan tentang persahabatan lama dengan seseorang bernama Athif sewaktu remaja di sekolah. Athif, yang hadir tanpa isyarat dan syarat, mendukung cita-cita polos Hafsa ingin menjadi pelukis. Keakraban mereka semakin menebal kerana kisah hitam dan trauma masing-masing. Namun, kedukaan bermula apabila Athif berpemergian akibat kemalangan jalan raya. Bayang-bayang Athif yang berjejeran di jalan raya mengikuti Hafsa hingga ke alam dewasa, menjadi bekas dan pusaka ingatan yang terbenam dalam kerinduan Hafsa.
Setiap kenangan yang dibuka semula, rupa-rupanya mendedah sejarah Athif yang selama ini Hafsa tidak tahu. Apakah kedukaan dan kesedihan dapat terjawab apabila sejarah Athif terlerai kuncinya?

Melodrama storyline
F dapat rasakan deep emotional impact after reading a story about Athif, a character who passed away.
F wishes Athif had a different ending to be with Hafsa... to be loved because both of them deserved happiness.
Walaupun Athif dah tiada, semangat dia tetap hidup dalam cerita.
F menyampah watak Rafeel... ehh betul ke nama dia. F tak suka cara dia betrayed Hafsa.

“Athif mungkin telah pergi, tetapi semangat perjuangannya akan terus hidup.”
If it was within my power, I would have re-written it differently. I would’ve wanted Athif to be with Hafsa. I wanted to see him live. I wanted him to be loved. He deserves that much. He deserves the whole world.
But we don’t always get what we want in life, right?
Aku redha. Sakit tapi aku redha.
Tak mampu nak cakap lebih. Buku ni memang dah start off sedih. Kita dah tahu Athif dah pergi tapi setiap bab flashbacks membuatkan aku delulu.
Pada aku, Athif masih hidup. Athif ada. (I might need therapy after this lmao) But in a serious note, penulis berjaya buat aku sayang Athif. I wanted to be the one to care for him, I wanted to be there for him. And I wanted Hafsa to be there for him too.
Aku sedih untuk Hafsa. I knew if she knew the depths of Athif’s trauma… his story, dia akan sehabis baik cuba to be there for him.
Hafsa kuat. I respect her. I admire her. If Athif could see her now, he’d be proud. The way she broke down and got back up? Lurve! Hafsa, sayang, you did it! I’m proud of you.
Tak expect cerita Athif macam tu sebab dah fikir benda lain, last-last jadi benda lain. Sumpah terkejut. He didn’t deserve that. Justice for my bb Athif! Huhu.
Ayat-ayat dalam buku ni cantik. Suka. Cerita ringkas dan padat. Cuma sayang dia ringkas sangat, wanted more to be honest, boleh kembangkan lagi plot ideas tapi bila fikir balik, yang tak sempurna tu pun dah sempurna sebenarnya. Tahniah penulis! Keep on writing!

FULL REVIEW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZ4XA...
The story would be better if it was longer so that the characters would be given more time to flesh out and some parts would have more impact. I wish that the part on Rafeeq would be a bit more mysterious. I mean, we ARE reading the story from Hafsa's POV so it is weird to be so clear on Rafeeq's motivations early on.
The story and lessons in itself is actually really good and I love how Hafsa accepts that there will always be people like Rafeeq in her line of work.
Athif's writings in this story is very beautiful I must say.
