Moga Kau Mengerti

Moga Kau Mengerti by Lily Haslina Nasir. This is the first time I came across with this writer. Honestly speaking (not criticizing, mind you!) this book got too much 'flowers'..haha! Yea! yea! I know books (especially romance books) are supposed to have too many 'flowers' but hmmm...the main story is way too late in this book. Anyway, I will try to give the synopsis as best as I can.

First love...ahhh, it's always memorable, isn't? It's a story about this girl - Adeena Adalia Rasya (nice name!) who fell in love with Kamali during her school years. When Kamali moved to another school, they lost contact.

10 years later, Adeena still faithuful to Kamali, too faithful, I must say that she is hoping to meet Kamali again and rekindle their relationship. She isn't willing to open her heart to another man, Dr Adib, who I must say is a lot more better than Kamali.

Working as a journalist for a Malaysia's magazine, 1 day Adeena received an email from Wani, saying that she is a cousin of Kamali and how Kamali missed Adeena in the past 10 years they had been separated. From Wani, Adeena managed to get in touch with Kamali and as you might guess, they continued their childhood relationship. Dr Adib was frustrated when Adeena decided to marry Kamali.

The main or rather the interesting story of this book started when Adeena marries Kamali. Marriage life is not that heavenly after all for Adeena as she thought it would be. Kamali, whom she thought is the sweet, caring person turned to be a very violent person. Every night, instead of being cuddled to sleep, she was hit and bashed. I honestly can't describe the violence part. You need to read it to 'feel' it! I did 'feel' it and I don't fancy the 'feeling'.

As an obedient wife, Adeena stays with Kamali (which I totally disagree!). As a loving wife, she prayed to Allah to show the right path to her husband. And as a wife, she keeps everything to herself, she didn't tell a soul about her problems (very tough, I must say! Kindda proud of her). She stayed with Kamali until one day, Kamali beat her up so badly that she called her bestfriend, Salabiah. She was admitted to hospital where she required to undergo plastic surgery to fix her nose (done by Dr Adib). Kamali's parents told Adeena that Wani is kamali's ex-wife and Kamali is suffering from depression. He beat his ex-wife, Wani until they divorced and Wani, having revenge for Kamali is trying to get even...

The end? Well, Kamali let Adeena go (as in they got divorced) and he asked Dr Adib to help him out with his depression. Adeena moved on and when Dr Adib proposed, she didn't hesistate and accept him as her husband. Maybe they were meant to be together, afterall....
Moral of the story? Haha! I'm not good at giving advices. But for me, the moral of the story, first love doesn't have to be your last. Sure, first love is great and wonderful but how do you know that your second love and love after that is not as great and wonderful as the first? Unless you experienced it!

Have I experienced my first love? Hmmm..I think I leave the story for next time...cherio peeps!!

P.s. Moga Kau Mengerti is a good book. It bring you closer to real life. Not all romance book is all about happily ever after. It teaches you something.
