Tuts Terakhir
Tuts Terakhir is a literary fiction manuscript available in both Indonesian and English. The novel follows Clara, a blind pianist whose world is shaped by sound, faith, and silence—until a corneal transplant gives her sight but unsettles the very language through which she once understood life and love.
Blending music, spirituality, and emotional restraint, the story explores love across difference, loss, and the fragile balance between light and inner hearing. The manuscript remains unpublished and available for international consideration.

KURSI YANG HILANG
KURSI YANG HILANG is my debut novel, published in Indonesia.
It tells the story of an inclusive classroom and a dedicated teacher, Melany, whose world shifts when one of her students, Juno, suddenly disappears.
Through this event, the novel explores trauma, empathy, and the limitations of an education system that often values numbers over humanity. At its core, it is a story about listening, patience, and the courage to truly see those who are often overlooked.
