twivortiare
Is there any correlation between this novel and the first
post that i wrote in this blog?
Yup, ini kelanjutannya. Sekuel dari the enjoyable
Divortiare.
Here we go, meet again with Alex and Beno Wicaksono, yang
kali ini sudah kembali rujuk dan menikah lagi setelah sempat bercerai dua
setengah tahun. Dan buat yang sudah baca Divortiare pasti berkomentar “Thank,
God, finally! Akhirnya dua bocah itu pakai akal sehat mereka..”
Hee.. iya lah siapa yang nggak gemes mendapati akhir
Divortiare yang gantung dan bikin kita wondering, rujuk? Nggak? Rujuk? Nggak?
Terbentuk dari kumpulan tweets dari Alexandra Wicaksono,
yang awalnya iseng dibikin sama si penulis Ika Natassa, menceritakan tentang
keseharian Alex dan kehidupannya yang baru dengan Beno.
Walau nggak dibeberkan secara runut awal mula sejak momen
pertemuan mereka di lift Rumah Sakit tempat Beno kerja (di akhir Divortiare)
hingga akhirnya mereka rujuk, tapi inti cerita penyatuan kembali itu sangat
amat tercerna lewat kilasan-kilasan ingatan dalam postingan tweets itu. Dari frekuensi
makan nasi goreng jalan Sabang bareng yang makin sering, lalu Beno yang
ternyata sudah minta izin orang tua Alex sebelum ‘nembak’ alex lagi. Dan dalam
novel kedua ini, tergambar kalau masing-masing bisa lebih dewasa dalam
menjalani kehidupan pernikahan. Walau di sela-sela masih ada berantem-berantem,
Alex masih benci kalau Beno dapet on-call tengah malem, atau si Beno juga benci
Alex kerap lembur di kantor dan jadi target pedekate nasabah genit –but, so
far, they fought hard just to make their marriage works this second time. Though
the adjustment part was hard, tapi kesadaran nggak bisa hidup tanpa satu sama
lain bikin perjuangan itu worth it. Alex nggak mau kehilangan Beno untuk yang
kedua kali, begitu juga Beno sama Alex.
Novel ini bikin saya keki berpikir tentang pernikahan. Bener
deh. Tentang will i find the right one seperti Alex menemukan Beno? Or, will i
fight with the same strength for my partner just like Alex’s for Beno?
Dan yang paling saya suka dari novel ini adalah quotes-quotesnya.
Nendang dan jleb jleb banget. Walaupun hampir sebagian besar ditulis dalam
bahasa Inggris, tapi nggak begitu kesulitan kok mencerna maksudnya.
4 stars out of 5 deh, ya..
The Quotes :
“I think we like to complicate things when it is really quite simple, find what it is that makes you happy and who it is that makes you happy and you’re set. Promise.”
There will never be anyone whom we can call a perfect match. Everybody’s different, and in dealing with differences, egos play huge part.
People are human. Not some machine we can control.
The trick of staying sane is to make between today and tomorrow meaningful.
Sometimes the greatest moment of your life present itself in the form of just a nearness to someone you love.
When you’re single, you only have yourself to answer to.
@nerudalove i have not left you when you go away | think no more, my sweet, about the anguish that went on between us like a bolt of phosphorus leaving us perhaps it’s burning | i found you after the storm, the rain washed the air and the water your sweet feet gleamed like fishes.
It’s impossible for us to find a perfect spouse if we model him/her towardd someone or toward our own sets of criteria.
But we can try to find someone that just works. That when you and that someone are together you both just work.
Despite all the hiccups and each other’s shortcomings and imperfections and flaws.
So you know why you get the impression from my tweets that he is somewhat perfect? Because to me, he just work.
You should love someone inspite of, not because of.
I just realize this. When you’re married, you start to feel for two people –you and your spouse.
Once you coexist with someone, even just his nearness matters.
Beno to me is like security blanket to a little kid. The world is full of scary monsters without him.
I always believe that if someone really loves you, they will do things to show that they care even when you’re not looking.
When you’ve been with someone long enough, you’ve developed this habit of how you react to each other even when you’re not saying a word.
We’re both each other’s reason to come home. That’s all that matters.
Aku ingin mencintaimu dengan sederhana, dengan isyarat yang tidak sempat disampaikan awan kepada hujan yang menjadikannya tiada. Sapardi Djoko Darmono.
