WHEN I WAS YOUNG


..I always like to read books because of the happy ending. In books, the female heroine always find her happily ever after. I always wish that someday I can find my own happy ending. I become an optimistic child, and I started to believe that everything in my life will always be alright.

But as I grew up, everything change and my world turned upside-down. I was fifteen when my parents got divorced. I was so confused at that time. I thought that I had a perfect family, where everyone loves each other. But my happy bubble got burst when I discovered the reason for their break-up. My dad has a mistress!

This event changed my life. From an optimistic child I became a pessimistic teenager. I stop reading books. I started to convince myself that people who read books (especially when it has a happy ending) are hypocrite. They just want to escape from reality where there is no such things as ‘love’ ‘forever’, and ‘happily ever after.’

For a long time I become a bitter person. I dated several men and even had a few relationships with them, yet it didn’t last long. But my bitter lifestyle dissolved when I met ‘him.’ This guy become my friend and eventually my lover. He taught me that there is no such thing as ‘perfect’ in a relationship. Yes, we fight, but he make sure to patch things up. That’s when I understand that there is such thing as ‘love’ and ‘forever.’ I love him and I want to be with him forever. I’m contented because of him.

Now, I realized that I have misunderstood those books that I have read. Stories don’t have a happy ending. It’s not a happy ending rather a happy start to their forever. Nothing will be alright because life always give us problems to test our limits. My mom and dad they have a happy start but then my dad was not contented with my mom, that’s why their relationship didn’t last long..
