BOOK HEARTTHROB PROFILE: ERHAN ZIKRI FROM BUKAN DARK METALIK


Eiyo Fadneiras,

How's September treating you so far? I hope you guys are having a good month. May everything be at ease. Insya-Allah.

Btw, the Book Heartthrob Profile series is back with another swoon-worthy book heartthrob. For this month's episode, I'm going to share my analysis of Erhan Zikri. He is a book heartthrob created by Pynat Mouri for her novel, Bukan Dark Metalik (BDM)

Now let's begin this analysis with Erhan Zikri's profile...


ABOUT ERHAN ZIKRI

Voila! My fan art of Erhan Zikri (Image: My Artstagram @fmooneira_art)


NAME: Erhan Zikri Fahim

AGE: 29 years old (It was mentioned by the author)

NATIONALITY: Malaysian

OCCUPATION: Project Manager

HIS ROLES IN THE STORY: The male protagonist & love interest to the female protagonist, Farah Hilani.

HIS GOALS:

Erhan wants to seek revenge on Hilani for ruining his reputation when they were back in high school. Because of the story Hilani created, Erhan received a bad name and had to move to another school.

Erhan asks his best friend, Hazreal to spy on Hilani. He applies for a job as a project manager at the company where Hilani is working. And that's when the game begins.


A hilarious snippet & quote from Bukan Dark Metalik


HIS PERSONALITY

Erhan begins as a very stoic, cold, and somber character. Erhan loves his late father dearly. To Erhan, nobody can replace Mr. Fahim's place. Erhan is not happy when his mother wants t to marry someone new. He becomes more somber when Hilani accuses him of a crime he did not do. 

But as the plot evolves, Erhan grows into a very cheerful character. I like the way he teases Hilani. It is so cute and adorable. Auwww!!!


HIS PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES

Erhan is described by the author as a tall dark and handsome hunk. He has tanned skin and a masculine athletic figure. Erhan has dimples when he smiles. And Erhan's dimples are his distinguishing features. Pynat Mouri also portrays Erhan as a very suave and well-dressed man.

When I was reading BDM, I imagined Bridgerton's Regé Jean Page as Erhan. Like Erhan, Regé is also tall dark and handsome, masculine, suave, and well-dress.


HIS BACKSTORY

Erhan's father, Mr. Fahim died when he was a child. When Erhan was 17, his mother, Mrs. Hazura found a new man. And she decided to marry him.  Erhan was not happy with Mrs. Hazura's decision. It made Erhan very unhappy and somber.

Erhan became more somber when Hilani accused him of a crime he did not do. This made Erhan a revengeful person.


MY OVERALL REVIEW OF THE CHARACTER

To be honest, I did not have a massive crush on this character while I was reading BDM. But I do like this character and believe he is a swoon-worthy book heartthrob. I also believe that Erhan Zikri is one of the most stunning male leads in Bahasa Malaysia romance novels. 

This character is well-crafted by the author. The way Pynat Mouri portrays Erhan makes the story enjoyable to read. Erhan has his style and trademark (which is tall dark and handsome). He also has an interesting character arc. I like the way this character grows and changes as the plot evolves.



Okay, so this is my analysis of Erhan Zikri. He is a book heartthrob created by Pynat Mouri for one of her bestselling novels, Bukan Dark Metalik. 

I hope you guys enjoyed this analysis. Insya-Allah, the Book Heartthrob Profile series will be back next month with another swoon-worthly book heartthrob to swoon your heart. 

Before I end this post, let me ask you guys two related questions...

1) Have you read Bukan Dark Metalik by Pynat Mouri?

2) If yes, what are your opinions of Erhan Zikri's character? 

Okay, this is all for now. I'll see you guys again in my next post. Insya-Allah. Bonne weekend and take care.

XoXo,

  8. What crime was he accused of that he didn't commit or was found guilty of, that caused him to have to change school and then seek revenge?

    1. Hilani told the teachers that Erhan and her used to date (actually they never date), and the relationship did not end well. She even told the teachers than Erhan is not happy with the break up. So he force her into the sick room with him.
