Phobias of sexual relations (Genophobia) make Zeline Zakeisha give up her love story that is always foundered because of her lover cheating. Her friends took the initiative to register Zeline on an International Online Dating Site. Those sites make Zeline know the figure of a man in a country quite far from where she currently lives successfully. Indonesia - New York. A handsome man with a million surprises. He tired because of being lied to by some of his ex-girlfriends who only wanted his material. Ricardo Fello Daniello, a young New York Trillionaire, chose to partner through an International Online Dating Site. It's not because he's hopeless. It's just that it feels like he can judge which women are sincere or want the material alone. A slow response woman in a Southeast Asian country, precisely Indonesia, can steal his attention and make his feelings turn upside down. Will destiny unite the two of them even they are from different countries?
A woman slapped the man standing in front of her stern. Enough to make all the visitors stare at the two of them. A woman named Zeline caught her lover, Bagas, having an affair with a woman whose Zeline did not know in a cafe not far from his office.
"Three days, hard to contact, and always avoiding. Is this what you did?" Zeline accused the native sweet-faced man.
The man snorted and looked at Zeline with disdain. "You should be in the mirror. Why am I doing all this." Zeline stared at him with emotion. Bagas continued, "I'm a man who not only needs love. I'm a normal man who wants satisfaction more than love. You're just wasting my time, an abnormal and strange woman. I regret the fact that I was your boyfriend!"
One more, a hard slap landed on Bagas' cheek as rewarded by Zeline. Zeline's face flushed with high emotion. "Get out of here! We're breaking up!" said Zeline.
"That's what I want. You crazy woman!" swore Bagas, then immediately left the cafe, holding the sexy woman next to him.
Fortunately, the cafe was not that crowded, and only a few people were there. Zeline was pulled to sit by Mesya, one of her best friends. Mesya handed Zeline Ice Lemon Tea.
Incidents like this are not the first time for Zeline. The fourth incident, this time in the last two years. Her love story always ends tragically. Pathetic.
><><><><
At that time, Zeline and her three friends, Mesya, Fini, and Vera, promised to get together to release their homesickness after two weeks of being busy with their respective jobs.
Mesya, a slender beautiful woman, has long black hair and now works as her fiancé, Pradipta, a famous cafe & restaurant entrepreneur who has branches throughout Indonesia?
Fini, a sexy woman with long blonde hair, is a nightclub entrepreneur in several big cities in Indonesia. This woman, who often changes partners, loves travelling to various countries.
Vera, an acute, dimpled woman, is now getting close to a conglomerate son.
Zeline Zakeisha, a beautiful, well-proportioned woman with pure white skin, works as an MUA (Makeup Artist) and occasionally becomes a freelance model. A love story that has never been successful has always been an accompaniment to the story of Zeline's life.
As a real example, what just happened was Bagas. For the last five months, the man who was in love with Zeline was having an affair. Bagas and Gilang, Amar and Haris, are a line of Zeline's ex who had an experience.
><><><><
"Calm down, Babe!" Mesya calmed Zeline, who had just burst out with emotions and was humiliated by her ex.
Yes. Because that very second, Zeline cut off their relationship. Dammit! Ex.
"Zel, please. Don't spend your time with stupid men like them!" Vera wagged her index finger from right to left.
"Your boyfriend is always boring!" sneered Fini with a cigarette on her lips.
"Shut up! Oh, Shit! I love Bagas!" Zeline covered her face with her palms.
Mesya snorted, "Save your tears. You don't deserve to cry over that cheating man. You can get a much better man."
"A man with a common face and a very ordinary job with the courage to break my best friend's heart, fuck!" swore Vera.
"But I'm so curious. What did Bagas mean earlier?" Fini's question succeeded in making Zeline look at all the eyes of her best friend.
"Yes, I'm so curious too! Why could he say that to you? Tell Us!"
"Something as disgraceful as this will surely make them all laugh at it." Zeline was, though.
Fini, Mesya, Vera is waiting for Zeline's answer. They looked at Zeline's face with curious faces.
"Hey! I'm not telling you to daydream, Zel!" said Fini annoyed, waiting.
Zeline took a deep breath before giving answers to her friends. "Because ... Because-"Zeline bit her lip deeply.
Mesya interrupted, "Because of what? Don't make me curious."
"He's asking for sex! I can't!" Just like what Zeline imagined, the three friends burst into laughter at her answer.
Mesya eased her laughter. "Yeah, the capital's virgin."
"It must be because of your phobia. But, this time, I agree to your refusal, Zel, to all of them," continued Mesya.
"I can already imagine the size of Bagas, Gilang, Amar, or Haris sausages." Vera acted as if she vomited something up.
"Short and unsatisfactory. But the right choice ignores their invitation. Oh, Shit! You will not be satisfied, babe!" Fini added Vera's words.
"I don't like local products," Fini muttered.
"Some of the local produce has the size of a long gun, bitch! Are you looking down on mine?" Mesya protested.
Vera nodded in agreement with Mesya's words.
"Ah, never mind. I hate men!" softly Zeline.
"What ...?!" said the three friends together.
"Don't tell me you want to be a lesbian!"
"Shit! Big No!" swore Zeline.
"Heartbreak makes you crazy," said Fini.

"Who are you?" hissed Amanda." Who am I? That's not important!" said the man."What are you doing in front of me, then?" hissed Amanda in her curt voice."I want you with me. On my bed!" The man whispered without any guilty face." In your dreams, Sir!" hissed Amanda. While the man just smiled crookedly responding to the treatment which he thought challenging."Let's see! This is a good start, Amanda."

"Is it considered betrayal to develop feelings for your best friend's boyfriend? What about when fate intervenes, and he turns out to be your destined mate? You might think it's luck and thank the moon goddess for such a twist of fate. That's what I believed until the love of my life uttered those dreaded words: 'I want a divorce!'

When Zora got into an accident and called Ezrah, he said he was busy, when in actual fact, he was buying shoes for Piper. Zora lost her baby because of the accident, and throughout her stay at the hospital, Ezrah never showed up. She already knew that he didn't love her, but that was the last straw for the camel's back, and her fragile heart could not take it anymore. When Ezrah arrived home a few days after Zora was discharged from the hospital, he no longer met the woman who always greeted him with a smile and cared for him. Zora stood at the top of the stairs and yelled with a cold expression, "Good news, Ezrah! Our baby died in a car accident. There is nothing between us anymore, so let's get a divorce." The man who claimed not to have any feelings for Zora, being cold and distant towards her, and having asked her for a divorce twice, instantly panicked.
