My Home, My Tahanan is a deeply emotional novel about love that feels like shelter, and loss that feels like being left out in the cold. At its heart, the story follows two people whose bond began as friendship and slowly transformed into a love so familiar it felt like home. For years, they were each other�s safe place, the one person who understood without needing explanations. In a world that often felt too loud, they found quiet in each other.
The book explores how love can grow in comfort rather than grand gestures. It shows how shared routines, late night conversations, and silent understanding can become the strongest foundations of a relationship. Yet, it also reveals how even the safest homes can crack when fear, miscommunication, and unresolved pain are left unspoken. When one chooses to leave, believing distance is the only way to survive, the other is left to grieve not just the person, but the future they built together in their mind.
Years later, fate brings them back together. The reunion is not gentle. It is raw, filled with unspoken regrets, lingering love, and the painful realization that time does not erase what once felt like home. As they confront their past, the story asks difficult questions. Can love survive after abandonment? Is choosing safety the same as choosing happiness? And is it ever too late to return to the place your heart still calls home?
More than a romance, My Home, My Tahanan is a story about emotional belonging. It reminds readers that home is not always a place, but a person who sees you at your most broken and stays. Through heartfelt dialogue and intimate moments, the book captures the ache of loving deeply, the fear of choosing wrong, and the courage it takes to come back to where you truly belong.
