Tanya Pada Hati

Friday, September 4, 2009
14 hours - that's all I need to finish this book by Iman Xara. The first book I read by this author and I love it! Everything is in this book - family, friends, friendship, relationship, humor, sad - basically everything!

Farisya and Fitri Hidayat, best friends from the uni. Fitri is a fun person with a lot of sense of humor always expresses his feelings for Farisya but Farisya always though he's joking! Both these people share everything - namanya pun best friends, kan? Things started to change when Fitri started to date a girl, Idayu. Farisya feels that Fitri no longer 'needs' her hence she's looking for her own happy ending. Enters Iskandar who confess his undaying interest and sayang to Farisya.

To make this shorter, Fitri broke up with Idayu, who pretends to be someone she is not just to get Fitri; Farisya got engaged with Iskandar, Fitri confessed his true feelings to Farisya. But it's too late! Until 1 night, Farisya nearly being raped. Iskandar couldn't accept Farisya anymore (eventhough she's not actually being raped). Farisya heartbroken and Fitri once again, express his feeling for his best friend. It's all come to a happy ending plang.

This book really 'hit' something within me. It makes me wonder - can a man and a woman be just best friends without any feeling involved? I had the answer few weeks back and from my personal experience, no, a man and a woman couldn't be best friends without any feelings getting involved! It's complicated. To be just friends, sure, anyone can be friends with everyone but to be best friends, it's almost impossible.

I know novel is just a novel but sometimes, you would be surprise how novel reflects on our daily life. Tanya Pada Hati is not the only novel that shows that man and woman couldn't be best friends without falling for each other. Berikan Cintamu by Rose Harrisa and Kasih Dania by Ayu Emelda (both from Alaf 21) are some of the books that shows 2 best friends (a man and a woman) who got involved with each other feelings. Both books had their own stories. Read it, then you would know.

"Andai tak mampu dimiliki, mampukah untuk dia melepaskan? Andai tak bisa dikasihi, mampukah untuk membenci?" - Tanya Pada Hati by Iman Xara, page 359
