Radit dan Jani
Radit
Bodoh, kalau saja aku bisa
aku akan mencintaimu seperti
angin semilir yang menyejukkan
hujan rintik yang meneduhkan
siang yang terik
Kalau saja aku bisa
aku akan mencintaimu seperti
bara yang menghangatkan
obor yang menerangi
malam dingin kelam
Jani
Tega sekali kamu, Bodoh. Siapa bilang kamu tidak bisa? Kenapa harus ada kalau? Dan, kenapa kamu meremehkan aku?
Aku bisa, aku sanggup menghadapi topan,badai dan kilatmu. Aku tak akan tenggelam, tak bakal hangus. Radit, bodohku,
aku tidak pernah mengharapkan kepergianmu. Aku sanggup menghadapi setan dalam dirimu. Aku sanggup asal kau beri aku
kesempatan. Mengapa kamu tidak beri aku kesempatan? Sekali saja.
I took the lines from a scene in an Indonesian novel and movie Radit dan Jani. They are you could say a brutally romantic dynamic duo like Bonnie and Clyde. They are lovers and partners in crime. Basically the novel is about Radit a guitarist and drug addict who falls in love at first sight with Jani, a rich girl who wishes to rebel against her family. Jani left her family to be with Radit eventhough he has nothing to offer her but his unconditional love. Unfortunately, he is also in love with drugs which led to the conflict between which will he chose in the end - Jani or drugs? Anyway.. I do not intend to write a movie review but those lines particularly striked me because there are times when Jani's frustration echoed my own. Her despair at not being able to get through that block *whatever it is*. Our want alone is not enough.. there's only so much we can do I suppose. She never loses her hope until the end when Radit loses his battle and chose drugs over her. It was his choice..not hers. She has made her choice to love him but he would have the final say.. whether to accept her or otherwise.
Some people would say that Jani's character is stupid...or desperate.. choosing Radit for all his evident flaws. I would not say she's the smartest girl in town.. but she made a decision and stuck by it no matter what. She sees something in him that made all her sacrifices worth it..things that even Radit could not see in himself. She's alot stronger then what people (Radit/her family) would give her credit for.
Anyway.. I just wanted to keep it on Lj for memories purposes.. Ciaoz.
