just finished reading, Heart of the Matter by Emily Griffin.. its about the two different women who wouldnt even have known each other had not one woman’s husband got close to the other woman’s family. tho i strongly disagree with what Nick did, i wouldnt call it an affair as it was just a moment of dishonesty. not saying that i agree with guys who do that, but in this case i understand. surprisingly, i do. i like that instead of focusing on one woman’s voice, the author clearly took turns to voice out the two woman’s situation. so there were no sides chosen. i felt sorry for Tessa for what Nick did but couldnt help feeling sorry for Valerie aswell.. it tells that all of us are capable of making mistakes that hurt those we love most and that its how we deal with this universal truth that matters.
It always takes two. For relationships to work, for them to break apart, for them to be fixed.
believe me, while reading the book i wanted to hate Nick. loathe him, despise him. cause i’ve always believed cheating no matter what is unacceptable plus from personal experience, its just left me bitter. hahah. BUT the author took me by surprise & i cant put in to words how to clearly say it but i understand. what i love most probably is the closure part of Nick & Tessa, like the very last line in the book says it all..
And because I believed that, buried beneath disappointment and fear, anger and pride, I just might find it in my heart to forgive.
i dont think i ever had any closure from the last relationship i was in so maybe that was why along the way of moving on, i always relapsed. tho now i strongly believe i’m so much better. hahah. moving on is always gonna be an on going process, so long as memories are there BUT thats just it. memories, a time of the past. i loved & its passed. i believe i’ll love again when the time’s right. cause i’m the kinda girl who still likes to believe in the one.. to love, to be love. isnt that a nice sentiment. le’sigh.
eoowww. enough cheesyness. /end
