So I just finished reading both book, Dilan the series. Allright the first installment called Dilan : Dilanku 1990 in Indonesian, yes, and the second installment entitled Dilan : Dia adalah Dilanku tahun 1991. Both are enchanting, both will bring you to the best era for most people, in High School.
Well honestly, I always doubtful towards my teacher when I was in Senior High School. They also like envying how the class is really cheerful and one. We barely have a kind of tension and all people are be friend (allright not to mention some small slight different opinion probably) but generally we are really be friend each other. Shown on how we actually very flexible on deciding our table mate from the first year to second year and we settled in last year. Probably we feel to old to change partner? Or we just finally find a perfect partner in crime... literally. HAHA
Well back to Dilan the series, it will bring you to the nostalgic past of Milea Adnan Hussain nad her love life during her High School with a kind-of-bad-guy that now being trend (isn't it? or Bad Guy will always be the best choice that you have LMAO) Dilan. From her point of view we are persuaded to feel the love, the heat and the feels of the high school lovey dovey. Most important thing probably is the way Dilan express his love. No, I guess you will not find any kind of way in expressing love as original as how Dilan did, even though I find some of them so lame (or I am in denial).
What I can be sure is that, you will be drone, drone in the unique way on how Dilan treat Milea, on how the words can move you and how Dilan think of something. You will be full of Dilan and this dilan disease is transfered from Milea, so that she is not the only one getting this disease, you will get one too, missing~ longing for Dilan (or probably your ex, or someone that you loved so much, for me I miss Dilan HA!)
A bit spoiler : Dilan is so random and I think I would be proud if I can really have someone that can preserve his randomness, as someone told me, basically men are child. And another thing i know from tweet (?) a girl who can preserve the child side of a man is a kind of girl ( imean one of a kind, for a girl), so I wish I can really make my man being comfortable telling me that kind of random stuff, telling in a random way, sharing his thought randomly and all that sounds crazy and random.
Randomness such in letter how he invite Milea to attend school in day from Monday to Saturday, giving TTS as bday gift because he doesn't want Milea having headache when trying to solve it and the sweetest quoted in Bahasa as follow ... this randomness surely will melt any women, don't you think so?
This series, from book 1 and 2 are all from Milea point of view, so some are left unanswered (i think), suddenly this and that, well I can't even complaining because it seems like I know Milea, or even think Milea is myself who also wondering, who feel this, it feels like your close friend telling you the story, the feeling. And feeling itself enough without a kind of plot elaboration that we may demand. But what is plot if the feel is delivered well? If you already feel the tense and the emotion?
So looking forward for this Dilan sequel, the author keeps throwing news that he will write 'suara Dilan' another instalment with Dilan point of view, which hopefully answer some questions that remain, also probably show why he's so random, or probably we will get his randomness added all over again that may makes us fall even harded to Dilan. well... let's see, daddy/surayah/ayah pidi is said to currently writting this.
PS :
1. this is a true story ( well as said by Pidi Baiq and other and whether you will believe or not, it's ur choice)
2. Milea has a twitter account in @mileaAdnan, Piyan also has in so_piyan
3. If you go through their twitter acc, you may get clue on which gang motor Dilan was...
4. Who doesn't love D? D for Dilan and who's your D? Ha....
