Okay... I really, really enjoyed this!

Yes, alright, so your English may not be perfect, but somehow, to me, your writing was full of charm and I laughed out loud in many parts because of your choice of words. Don't get me wrong, I do not mean this in a bad way!! =D It was surprising and witty!

It became something knew. Something I really enjoyed!!

It didn't stop me from following the storyline and I could still properly picture exactly what was happening and how the characters felt. :)

Also, I could hear the logic and structure of your own language behind it which gave it something extra... like a tale told in a foreign language... you know... makes it even more interesting. :)

My favourite bit was the last sentence:

"...and brain as usual… already scheming to find away to get another kiss, very shortly… ehem."

I giggled! At Miranda's mischief and at the way you built the sentence. Simply great!!

I really liked this!! :D Thank you for sharing!

Thank you! I was so scare people wouldn't like it!
I had wrote few fics before and in one of it, my very first story, some people leaving very hurting review forcing me to delete my story and got traumatize to write any fic for near 4 years.
If you didn't mind, could you be my beta? Language always be my weak point.
But thank you again for your review.
Terima kasih!

I can't believe people would be that mean! What's wrong with them?!
They should try and write something in your language, then they would maybe understand.

About being your beta... well English is only my 3rd language... ^_^; I still make a lot of mistakes myself... maybe it would be better to have someone who is a native English speaker... who also have the time and knowledge to explain to you why grammar is a certain way. Because I don't have a clue. xD

You could ask on the DWP community and I know that on fanfiction.net there is some kind of beta area (although I have no clue how that works over there)

Well, I like it very much and my English isn't perfect, too.
But we can try as good as we could and mostly I understood it very well.

I'm sorry for you to get flamed that hard to scare you from writing!
Some people don't think about the work we put into our stories and that not all people on this planet are able to speak or write perfect english,when it's not their native language.
I got such a "wise" anonymos comment myself a few days ago and that person didn't even read my story till the end. I should laugh about that, but inside I'm still angry..... For a few days, I think, then I'll have forgotten that.
So never give up. It hurts sometimes, but just keep on trying.^^

Thank you so much, people who so understanding with how someone try to write a story and not insulting downright hurting always welcomed by me.

I need reviewer to continue my story but they who could only say hurting words and somehow I am not surprise they would be nameless so I can't give them a reply, I really hate them.

I'm glad you like it and I hope you read the second chapter already: http://arakan004.livejournal.com/1058.html

Please kindly leave a review, because it is helping me to continue the series.

Terima Kasih!

Oh that was a surprise! You definitely have a very enjoyable writing style, I really liked it!

[arakan004]

Thank you! And I hope you would love to read the second chapter which unfortunately still unbeta-ed for I still searching a beta who wouldn't change my story or giving harsh comment.

Terima Kasih!
