Gw terkejut sewaktu baca bagian ini di buku The Zahir – Paulo Coelho. This is exactly same feelings and behavior that I do everytime I feel my heart is broken. I called this: Kegilaan Sementara Setelah Putus Cinta.
“For a while, I’ll think obsessively about her, I’ll become embittered, I’ll bore my friends because I ever talk about is my wife leaving me. I’ll try to justified what happened, spend days and nights reviewing every moment spent by her side, I’ll conclude that she was too hard on me, even though I always tried to do my best. I’ll find another woman. When I walked down the street, I’ll keep seeing women who could be her. I’ll suffer day and night, night and day. This could take weeks, months, possibly over a year or more.
Until one morning, I’ll wake up and find I’m thinking about something else, and then I’ll know the worst is over. My heart might be bruised, but it will recover, and become capable of seeing the beauty of life once more.” (p. 16-17)
Hal itu yang selalu gw lakukan setiap kali gw patah hati. And it’s such a relieved that even a great writer like Paulo Coelho use the same words as mine. I felt no longer alone.
