Bear with me and read these facts....
'I bought a 1.5 million rupiah white gold ring for my girl even though she dumped me in a month.'
'I gave my girlfriend a smartphone and I had to fast for the whole two months.'
'To prepare for a special event to propose my girlfriend, I spent 2.5 million rupiah worth of romantic dinner plus a violin player. It was worth it. She said 'yes'.'
I read them on a woman's magazine. Obviously.
How much is the meaning of 'sacrifice for love' if you put it in dollar? Or rupiah, for that matter? I know what you're probably going to say. 'It all depends....'
If you're in love, you are suddenly not good with numbers. Although you end up regretting to have spent so much money eventually, at least you had felt 'good' in the beginning. I hope you do. :D
If you're not in love anymore (or somehow the feeling vanishes and it no longer is as deep as before), you start to think about all the sacrifices and the things that you had thought you'd get but you didn't. And I'm not talking about materialistic things, mind you. In short, you're a walking calculator. You're good at deciding whether you'd given too much, enough or too little (and be thankful that you did. :r ).
Watching your loved one do the action is not the same. Calculating is inevitable, alright. But there are differences, among other things. There's anger involved. Just because you think the person has given too much. Sad. The result of the action doesn't involve any fasting, but it's close enough. Confused. You really don't know what to do: to let it be? to discuss it? to take a position and be against it? There's nothing positive about it. Nothing. In my case.
It is difficult to overcome the feelings. It is even harder to decide what to do.
But the decision is finally made.
Out of love,
Out of patience,
Out of respect,
No matter how excrutiating it is.
I look away.

berhubung kaga ngarti konteksnya...jadi cuma bisa mikir....
"apa aku begitu ya?"
"apa aku pernah ngerasa begitu?"
"apa aku pernah berkorban segitunya ya?"
blog post nya intriguing nih...heheee
kali kadarnya beda beda ya utk setiap org :-) kalimat-kalimat akhirnya bukannya udah cukup memberi 'konteks'? :-)
