pudarnya pesona cleopatra

I like reading novels. "Pudarnya pesona cleopatra" is my favorite one. in this novel told a man that have studied his study in Egypt. then he came back to his country, Indonesia. Living in a long time in Egypt made him loved the cleopatras. he always wanted to marry one of them, but his mother asked him to marry a woman that she has chosen for him. actually, he didn't love her, because there was only cleopatra's shadow in his mind. But, he didn't want to make his mother sad, so he accepted to marry that woman.

in his marriage, he behaved so cool toward his wife because he didn't love her. it made that woman so sad, but she didn't show that feeling. she always tried to be a good wife. finally, she was pregnant and she asked her husband's permission to stay at her parents house. he gave his permission happily, because it meant that he could be alone without her at home.

during his wife staying at her parents house, he never visited her. after several months, he found some letters that written by her wife and they are wrote for him. in her letters, his wife told about her feeling that she loved her husband so much and how sad she was because her husband didn't care about her. reading those letters have made the cleopatras' shadow gone from his mind and they replaced by his wife shadow. and then he realized that he love her. he went to his parents in law's house to meet his wife. but, his mother in law said that he couldn't meet her because she has gone, she has died, and her son too. knowing that made him very sad, he cried so loud. he very regretted that he didn't realize that feeling early.

in short, this story said that we would not realize that we love someone until he/ she dissappeared from ourlives.......
