My Favorite Book

 I love Fira Basuki's novels. Biru is my favorite. It is about a high school reunion. This was a very special event. Most of the alumni had not met for many years. They were looking forward to seeing each other.

  There are seven main characters distinct professions. Aris was the social worker and successful businessman. Anna, the social worker and wife of a rich man, had an affair with Aris. Candy was the famous model who lived abroad. Mario, the guide for outbound programs, had loved Candy since they were in high school. Pura  was the taxi driver who became a musician. Lindih and Kira were both married. They were looking forward to seeing each other.

  Unfortunately, the big event had to be called off after so much preparation. Aris, the one who planned the reunion, faced on obstacle, a really serious problem. He was  involved in corruption and was imprisoned. Many other alumni could not make it either. Candy died of drug poisoning the night before. She took the wrong medicine for her beauty treatment. Lindih and Kira found out that their husband was the same person. The alumni who came to the venue were shocked to hear the bad news. They did not expect the reunion to be cancelled. They did not expect to hear such shocking news about their friends.
