Divortiare

Divortiare, That is novel telling about workaholic banker girl who married a doctor. Because they are so busy with their work, there is no good communication anymore. Then they decide to divorce. Because this novel tells about divorce, the title is divortiare. But now, I’m not in good mood in talking about divorce. In my opinion, divorce is a bad word. So, I don’t want to talk about it right now. I just want to talk about the story that is very interesting. Marrying doctor? Hmmm I ever had that idea when I was in my last semester of my undergraduate. In that time, I liked reading a novel telling about doctors. But, then I just say to my God. God, please give me the best person that is suitable for me, whatever doctor, teacher, entrepreneur, programmer, but not lawyer and police officer. Whatever God chooses, I know that is the best. 

Now, we are back to this idea, one of my friends wants to marry a doctor. I just say to her “Although you want to marry a doctor, u have to be well prepared when your marriage partner is not a doctor. Why do you want to marry a doctor? Just consider it before you have deep ambition in marrying a doctor?” Am I right when saying this? I don’t really know. In the other time, my classmate asked me to find a girl for him. The girl should be from English department, religious, and near from his house. In that time, I just thought “Do you want to look for a wife or an English teacher for you?” Hehhe. Of course, it was just in my mind. I will not say it directly. 

 Back to Divortiare, when two magnets have to different side, they will be so good. Then, if they have the same side, what will happen? They will not able to do what they have to do, right. Sometimes it is a good idea in marrying someone that has the same ability, opinion, hobby, interest, the same other things with us. But sometime it doesn’t work in a marriage. That’s what Ika Natassa wants to say in her novel. Lexy and Beno have the same things in their life. But, because of that, they can’t survive with their marriage. Although they love each other, they have to say that they can’t be in a same umbrella anymore. The point is having the same thing doesn’t mean you can survive with someone. You have to very, very, very understand him like you understand yourself, When U fight with him means you fight to yourself. I give a big, big, and big appreciation to Ika because she is very talented in giving best for her readers. Reading this novel is like watching film from our mind. She invited us to see a divorce from a different side. Divorce is not always about fight, tears, and hurt. But it can be something that remains us, we just human with many weaknesses. That is why, we have to understand other more. Two thumps for her. Hopefully, I can enjoy her first Novel, “A very Yuppy Wedding” as soon as possible.
