Assalamualaikum.
Greetings.
This morning i watch tele & somehow end up with a malay drama.a novel adaptations drama. Well as usual it piss me off to watch the cliche story so i wrote a review on goodreads. But i think i want to talk more about that in this holy blog. *avoiding that novel fans
ok i never read the novel. I got irritated just to read the synopsis. My point is this novel offer distraction, not solution.
The story is about one bright girl who being rape by someone he trust. And that guy just left her alone. A douchebag. Okay, this is the problem. So what the solution?
Hey guess what, that girl no need to think of the solution. She just shut up her mouth, mourning and keep her anger inside while decide to receive a hand of marriage. Problem solve, now the society dont have to judge if her tummy getting bigger because she got a good caring husband that accept her for who she is. Applaud.
Totally a no solution storyline. What about the rape victim out there that found nobody, no man to support her from receiving hatred, social pressure of having an 'out-of-marriage child '*ok seriously i dont know the term for that in english.
At least cecilia ahern in where the rainbows end had some solution for that social issue. Although rosie did sex for her own will, she dont expect a child at such early age. Screw the boy, even her best friend (slash secretly love her) Alex dont suddenly show up and said " i will be responsible with the baby". Noooo.
Cecilia had some rationality. She dont give distraction, but solution. Rosie face the reality. She losing her bright chance in Boston Uni, living her life as tough as she can to raise up Katie. That dark phase of life had give her strength and lesson to enter next phase of her promising bright future.
Rape victim get an unforgetful trauma, an unforgiven sin for the rapist. Screw up some of the malay novel who make it into romance (victim and rapist) under justification 'everyone can change' 'he will end up be a good man and make u happy'. Not in real life, maam!
Back to the topic, i didnt say any of the victim dont deserve good fate with good man. But rather than offering a prince with saving armor and cheesy romance (that totally not solving the problem) why not writing some inspiring story of how the woman alone can solve her problem. Give them a hope that she by herself can get up and keep move on towards a bright future.
Huh...ntah pape jela aku bebel.
Sebab aku jadi annoy bekerja kat tempat yg dipenuhi buku annoying spt ini.
I wish i could work with an indie book co,where people write true story, a genuine story teller rather than chasing for royalty and drama adaptation offer. Maybe thats why write nurul syahida feels to give up this path of her life.
Maybe like her, i am not hostile. I am just annoyed.
