The latest novel I read and finished from Alaf 21 - Atas Nama Cinta by Lily Suriani. This is the second novel from this author that I came across. The first one - Pelabuhan Kasih, I read it few years back - or was it just last year? Hmmm...Anyway, I enjoyed reading the Pelabuahan Kasih and I didn't hesitate to buy her second novel when I saw it. And yes! Lily Suriani didn't dissapoint me.
Atas Nama Cinta - Ardini and Firas. Opposite attracts! That's how this story started! Ardini is not the type of person to fall in love easily (hmm...sounds familiar eh!hehe!). When she started working, she met Firas, who's totally opposite from her. Firas; chubby but tough and not so handsome (different from any other characters eh). Firas fell in love with Ardini at first sight but Ardini, looking at Firas physically not interested. Everytime they meet, they are always arguing; Firas being a teaser with a lot sense of humour while Ardini (being a youngest in the family), couldn't stand losing.
With a lot of patiences, waiting and neverending attentions from Firas, Ardini in the end accept Firas when she constantly misses him whenever he is not around. They got married eventually. Things started to get messy when 6 months later, Firas somehow and suddenly changed. He is no longer the happy, caring, teasing type. Gone are the sense of humour until one day, he begged Ardini to let him marry another (WHAT?!!!)! When Ardini refused, Firas started getting abusive. This going on for days until Ardini, couldn't stand it anymore and let Firas marry another.
"...sebab sayang lah Dini sanggup korbankan segala kebahagian Dini untuk Bie (Firas)..."
Just a day before Firas wedding to Najihah, Najihah left Firas. Reason, she already got what she want - 40% share of Firas' company. All this while, Firas had been used by black magic (ilmu hitam) so that he follows whatever Najihah wants.
Firas frustrated, not to mention humiliated, he started to lean towards drugs. Yup! He's addicted to drugs until Ardini took the guts and confronted her husband. With Ardini's persuasion and love, Firas voluntarily admitted himself to a rehab center under 1 condition - he didn't want to see Ardini while he is in the rehab.
Ardini misses her husband, visited the center every week without fail, bringing Firas' favourite foods but Firas won't see or meet her. This goes on for 1 and a half year when Ardini finally wanted to give up on her husband and moved on. Her family and Firas' family (couldn't bear to see her suffering) asked her to claim faskah but Ardini believed that Firas won't leave her.
And yes! She's right! After nearly a month didn't visit her husband, she decided to visit Firas. And this time, Firas meet his wife after nearly 2 years didn't see each other. And what I like most, they live happily ever after..hehe!
Moral of the story - Don't turn your back on drug addicts! In this book, Lily Suriani write the details on what the drug addicts 'suffer' from 'cleansing' themselves - physically, emotionally! True! they brought this onto themselves but hey, everyone makes mistakes and everyone deserves second chance, don't they? And don't ever involved yourself in shirik. It's not a way to live a life....
Read it! And along the way, somehow you will discover something about yourself! I did!
