Ketika Cinta Bertasbih (Episod 2)

As I promised….


I’ve finished reading the novel – Ketika Cinta Bertasbih (Episod 2). For those who love Habiburrahman El Shirazy’s novels, I’ll share some information about this novel and maybe I’ll add my opinions and comments about the novel too. This entry has to be (supposed to be) in Malay because the novel is in Bahasa Indonesia but I’ll mix the language – Malay, English & Indo. I might not understand some of the words used by the author so I’m just guessing and using my own logic in understanding the whole story.


Overall, I can spot several typo errors. In some cases, I just ignored it (there might be some differences in Malay & Indonesia in term of spelling, although we meant to explain/tell the same thing) but there are a few places whereby the author keeps on referring to other people’s name when he actually meant to write another person’s name (for e.g. Anna & Husna, he did mean Anna but he typed Husna or vise versa etc. – there are too many names in the novel, sometimes we might get confused). In another words, terdapat beberapa perenggan di dalam novel ini yang mana pada pendapat saya, penulis tertukar menggunakan nama-nama watak yang ada. Beliau mungkin maksudkan Anna, tetapi beliau menulis Husna (sebagai contoh, tetapi mungkin juga saya yang silap dalam membacanya, Wallahualam) dan sebagainya. Walau bagaimanapun, ini tidak sama sekali menjejaskan jalan cerita yang hendak disampaikan oleh penulis di dalam novel ini.


To those who read Ketika Cinta Bertasbih (Episod 1), novel berkenaan berakhir pada babak Khairul Azzam pulang ke tanah airnya iaitu Indonesia selepas beliau lulus kursusnya di Kaherah dan kebetulan pada ketika itu, Eliana Pramesti Alam turut menaiki pesawat yang sama. Episod kedua novel ini adalah kesinambungan daripada episod yang pertama di mana kali ini kisah watak-watak yang dahulunya di bumi Anbiaa’ kini digambarkan menjalani kehidupan di Indonesia.


Where should I begin? In this second novel, penonjolan kepada watak Ayatul Husna (adik Khairul Azzam) adalah ketara di mana pada permulaan novel ini digambarkan mengenai minat Husna di dalam berkarya akhirnya membuahkan hasil apabila beliau telah dipilih untuk menerima anugerah berkaitan karya sastera beliau. Husna juga menjadi idola remaja dengan hasil karya beliau itu, terutamanya karya @ cerpen “Menari Bersama Ombak”.


Anna Althafunnisa yang pernah menjadi idaman Azzam ketika di Kaherah akhirnya bersetuju ditunangkan dan seterusnya berkahwin dengan Furqan. Furqan masih merahsiakan apa yang pernah belaku terhadapnya ketika di Kaherah sehinggalan mereka berumahtangga. Namun begitu, Furqan tidak pernah menyentuh Anna sepanjang mereka diijabkabulkan.


Azzam yang telah pulang ke pangkuan keluarganya masih meneruskan aktiviti menjual bakso. Namun, beliau lebih kreatif dengan penghasilan “Bakso Cinta” yang mana bentuk “love” menggantikan kebiasaan bakso yang berbentuk bulat. Azzam juga telah memohon paten bagi innovasinya itu. Warung “Bakso Cinta” Azzam juga telah dicat dengan warna pink (my favorite color, hehehehe). Beliau berjaya meraih keuntungan yang banyak, di samping membuka beberapa cawangan dan juga warung “Bakso Cinta” itu difranchisekan. Namun begitu, adat berniaga memang ada pasang surutnya. Diceritakan juga bagaimana Azzam menghadapi saat getir ketika fitnah datang melanda dan bagaimana perniagaannya juga terjejas angkara fitnah itu.


Usaha Azzam mencari permaisuri hatinya masih terus giat dijalankan. Namun begitu, beliau tetap meminta pendapat ibunya dalam hal ini. Azzam akhirnya bertunang dengan Alviana Rahmana Putri Zuhri (Vivi), seorang doktor. Berkahwinkah mereka? Well, I think it’s better for you to search the answer by reading this wonderful novel. Tak thrill la kalau I beritahu semuanya kan? Ini pun dah dikira banyak info provided.


Kesimpulannya, untuk mendapat sesuatu dalam hidup ini bukannya mudah. Harga pengorbanan yang perlu dibayar untuk satu kesudahan yang indah adakalanya memeritkan. Kita hanya merancang, Allah yang menentukan segalanya. He knows best. Naik turun hidup ini umpama roda yang berputar. Tak selamanya kita berada di atas. Warna-warna hidup ini tak semestinya sentiasa ceria, ada kalanya kesedihan datang melanda – gelap seketika.


Well, let’s recap some of the beautiful names in this novel.

Anna Althafunnisa

Ayatul Husna

Eliana Pramesti Alam

Khairul Azzam

Furqan

Alviana Rahmana Putri Zuhri (Vivi)


I guess that’s all for this special entry on Ketika Cinta Bertasbih (Episod 2). Happy reading. Feel free to share with me about your opinion and comment after reading this novel.

To Do....

There are several things to do before 22nd June 2008. I'm quite busy now with the registration preparation, with everything else too. I did the medical check-up yesterday but the full results (especially some of the tests needed on my urine and blood) are not ready yet. The staff told me to contact Pusat Rawatan Islam Az-Zahrah tomorrow (Wednesday) to confirm whether the remaining results of the blood and urine tests are ready or not before I can come to collect it (must see the doctor again). Alhamdulillah, so far so good. My chest x-ray looks good, no drugs detected in my urine etc. UUM new postgraduate registration will be on the 22nd June (Sunday). Before the registration, I need to fill in several forms, prepare the original copy of all the certificates needed by them (academic transcripts etc.). I also need to obtain the financial affidavit from my sponsors and the letter of release from my organization. I really hope that I'll manage to settle these two important things ...

2016

Setelah sekian lama bersawang .... Harapannya agar tahun 2016 blog ini akan kembali terisi walaupun tidak kerap. Biasalah, medan untuk meluahkan perasaan....Baru perasan, tahun 2015 bermula dan berakhir tanpa sebarang penulisan, huhuhu.... Semoga tahun ini blog ini "hidup" sebagai kenangan buat pemiliknya & mereka yang membaca....

Sisters (Danielle Steel)

I've read this novel and it was very interesting. This novel is about four sisters-Sabrina, Tammy, Annie, and Candy. They are very close to each other and they really care about their parents very much. Sabrina-the eldest, is an ambitious young lawyer, Tammy-the second, is a successful t.v. show producer, Annie-the third sister, is an American artist in Florence (she likes art very much) and Candy-the youngest, is a fashion's latest international supermodel. Although they are very busy with their career, they always make sure that they spend Fourth of July weekend together, with their parents at their parents' house. However, something happened unexpectedly and changed their life forever. Want to know more about the story in this novel? I guess it is better for you to read it. Highly recommended. Below is the summary taken from Danielle Steel's website: Four sisters, a Manhattan brownstone, and a tumultuous year of loss and courage are at the heart of Danielle Steel’...
