Nayana has just broken up with her childhood friend Garvi because Garvi cheated on her. He also experienced an upsetting heartbreak. 
When Garvi moved house and was no longer her neighbor, Nareswara returned to Jakarta. Nareswara's presence annoyed Nayana because she didn't like her neighbor even though they had been friends since they were babies. After all, Nareswara's behavior was often naughty towards her. Nayana's dislike is inversely proportional to her mother and two siblings who like Nareswara and warmly welcome Nareswara. 

Even though she doesn't like Nareswara, Nayana also misses Nareswara, but she hides her feelings because of her pride. Even at school, Nareswara and Nayana couldn't be far from each other because they were in the same class and the same archery club. Slowly, Nayana begins to like Nareswara, especially when Nayana finds out the reason for Nareswara's cruel nature towards her all this time. That's because Nareswara was jealous of Garvi who took Nayana's attention when they were little. So, Nareswara wants to win back Nayana's attention by behaving mischievously. 

Nareswara is a support system for Nayana in achieving all of Nayana's changing dreams. Nareswara was so sincere towards Nayana, making Nayana slowly develop a feeling of love in her heart for Nareswara, even though Nareswara had had that feeling of love for a long time. However, Nayana didn't want what happened between her and Garvi to happen again, so she denied it all. Until Nayana turned twenty years old, Nayana could no longer avoid it, she accepted Nareswara's love and they decided to become lovers.

Mr. Lipstick

Sardine cans were neatly arranged in the corner of the balcony, each of them had a letter inside and I had never read any of the letters inside. Tonight the desire to read one by one the letters in the sardine cans was so strong. I crouched down and picked up a sardine can that was in the corner of the wall. I deliberately arranged them when the cans landed on the balcony. This was all Nareswara's doing, as if I were a junk dealer, so he threw sardine cans at me since my father died, until a few weeks ago. 


I smiled because the first can contained a letter telling me to stay enthusiastic with a picture of a smiling face. My lips smiled because he was the one who made me rise. The second can contained a letter and there was no writing, only a picture of a balloon scratched using a red crayon. The third can contained a letter that only contained an exclamation mark. He was so strange and I think this all has a meaning.
