It is one of the books that blown my mind. It's very well written and would probably relate with a lot of people who are in their journey to find themselves. So many people are talking about it but I did not buy it until a few months ago where I read the preview on the first pages. Easy for me to see if I want to buy the book or not. When the first pages hook me right away, I don't need to think twice. This book is one of them. This contains spoiler of course. Nora, the main character, like many of us, fall into depression and decided to kill herself. But she's not dead right away. She went into a kind of limbo between life and death. In that library she met a librarian, this librarian is a kind of a guide. Our guide that probably tasked when we were born. The librarian shows her lives that she could have had if she wants to. She is so depressed and thinks that no life will makes her happy enough to live it. I can totally understand her state. I was there....
It’s 14 February and it is chocolate day!!!!!
Apakah aku merayakannya? Nggak kok.
Tapi sepagi buta udah dikasih coklat sama temen kantor, cewek,
dari kemaren ngasih coklat mulu. Trus supervisor bawa brownies coklat,
dan masih ada beberapa coklat lainnya. Jadi for sure this is a chocolate day!!!!
Terima kasih untuk sumbangan kalorinya dari pagi hari.
Dilaci masih ada beberapa coklat yang
belum bisa dikonsumsi dikarenakan mengantri untuk dimasukkan ketempat penyimpanan akhir
(read : perut).
Dan HJ tiba-tiba bilang ‘hun! It’s valentine day’. And I said
‘it is a chocolate day’. Dia ngakak.
Ya terussssssss mau ngerayain? Ngerayain model
gimana juga? Wong dia lagi di Dubai mau balik ke Afganistan. Mau kirim coklat? Bunga?
Ahh kamu nggak seromantis itu dehh kayaknya. Oh iyaaa ngomong-ngomong soal bunga,
siang sebelum makan siang aku sama temen aku ke pantry
kan. Ngeliat ada satu buket bunga gede banget. Kita berdua mikir ini pasti valentine
dehh. Trus si ibuk pantry bilang ‘Buat valentine ini, kalian
nggak punya cowo yaaaa’. Temenku sih bilang ‘Yah, suamiku nggak akan pernah bisa seromantis ini’.
Dan aku bilang ‘pacar aku lagi di Dubai perjalanan balik ke Afganistan, mana
mikir dia buat bikin beginian’. Seketika ibu pantry bilang ‘kesian dehhhh kalian’
Yaampun. Menohok!
Makan siang pun kita keluar. Gayaa lahh,
mentang-mentang hari ini hari coklat ya. Diajak makan diluar. Ketempat baru yang
tempatnya cozy. Sekali-kali lah. Eh ternyata ada yang bayarin.
Mimpi apa cobak yaaaaa hari ini terasa istimewa makan siang dibayarin.
Pulang makan siangkan kita mampir beli coklat ya. Aku yang
sedari pagi udah eneg coklat mulu, masih juga kebagian coklat lagi.
Anyway, thanks for those who make 14th February
become so special… although I don’t celebrate it but I have a lot people who
really care about me and give me chocolateeeee and save those calories on my
round belly. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Random! Si HJ lagi di Dubai berdiri di antara gate A6 yang terbang ke
Bali dan gate A7 terbang ke Kabul, difficult choice katanya. Hatinya pengen masuk
A6 tapi tiketnya nyuruh masuk A7 😂😂
