The only child

Semalam aku teman Husband pergi office, he always has something to finish up at office. Busy mengalahkan owner Megah Holding. Mengadu dekat bapak mertua, gelak je dia. Dia suruh bos Husband berhenti kerja sebab Husband aku dah boleh gantikan bos katanya hahaha.

Tengah hari tu pergi kejap open house officemate dia. Kawasan tu baru kena banjir last week, agak teruk la keadaan tebing2 sungai, ramai sukarelawan datang semalam tapi Alhamdulillah rumah kawan Husband selamat and kami boleh beraya dengan selesa plus semua makanan sedap2 oi. 

Sebelum balik sempat singgah tengok keadaan sungai belakang rumah dia. Air masih keruh, hope dalam 2-3 hari ni akan pulih sepenuhnya sebab ada penduduk kampung yang tarik air sungai sebagai sumber air.


Semalam sepanjang teman Husband aku sempat habiskan baca 1 buku ni. 

This book entirely about one ordinary man, he's married with 2 daughters and living a comfortable life (after all ups and downs) but still feel empty inside until he meets again his 1st love.

This book only touch a little about his marriage life but for me the character that hits me the most is the wife.

One day the wife find out about her husband's first love. She doesn't want to know the details but only asks one question 'Will you leave me?' and at that particular moment the husband has no answer to that.

Long story short, something happen, the 1st love disappears and the husband 'realises' about his real life.

What hits me the most is the words from his wife, something like this,

'I know you love me so much, you provide my wants and needs, you make me happy being your wife, but still I know I'm not enough for you. I don't want to leave you if you still want to live with me because I love you so much and I want to be with you when you're fragile, even when your soul is not with me. I always asked you about how you feel and you never asked me back. You confessed about your 1st love, you told me about your feeling but you didn't ask me back how about my feeling after listened to your story. You never asked me about my feeling, at all'

That's for me is a true love. Love is indeed can turn you blind. There are so many cases where the wife still stick with the husband even the husband is abusive. You can be blind by love, but please don't fool yourself. Your life is your choice, but choose wisely. If you can bear the consequences (in every inch of aspects), if you believe you gonna be happy that way, then by all means, proceeds. 

The husband admits that. Admit that he never asks about his wife wellbeing, he just provides and feel everything is falling into its places effortlessly. He never understands his wife 'struggles' 

Her husband is the only child. That is the character of the only child. They never bother about others, their world is just about themselves. They want what they want, their feeling only revolves around and about them. 

This reminds me to my own Husband as he's also the only child haha. And now I'm grooming him to have some 'people' senses hahaha.

Perangai paling obvious adalah dia tak pernah offer makanan dia dekat aku. Tau2 dah habis je. Aku memang kadang2 saja menyakat dia. Aku taknak pun makanan dia tapi aku perhati je dia. Bila dia dah habis makan aku cakap 'La dah habis? Tak pelawa pun Ayang rasa sikit, Ayang nak rasa' terus tercekik member muka gelabah hahaha. He rarely share his belongings not that he's stingy, just he's not used to that phenomena haha. 

Sekarang ni ada la dia pelawa tapi kadang2 dia still lupa haha sabo je la. And about my feeling, sometimes he will realise and ask but sometimes never coz I know he just doesn't know the existing of the issue there.

I love read coz through reading I can also read people and try to understand them at my best.
