Kemaren aku baru aja selesai baca "The 5 People You Meet in Heaven". Pengarangnya Mitch Albom yang ngarang "Tuesdays with Morrie". This is a story about a man named Eddie who works as a maintenance man in a theme park. Begins at the ending, when Eddie dies to save a little girl from a falling cart in the park. After he died, he went to heaven and met 5 people, some strangers and some are the loved ones, and each of them explain Eddie about his life. Why he lived and why he died, they explained about the 'unexplained things' happened in Eddie's life.
The first person Eddie met in heaven was "The Blue Man". Orang ini 'biru' dalam arti harafiah, gara2 keracunan suatu zat gitulah. To Eddie, he was a complete stranger. But he said to Eddie : "You killed me". Eddie thought that he never killed anyone, but he did. Ketika dia masih remaja, dia pernah nyaris ditabrak mobil - driven by the blue man. Ternyata peristiwa itu berpengaruh ke jantung 'the blue man' yang lemah. Dan dia meninggal tidak lama setelah Eddie selamat dari kecelakaan itu.
The second person, was Eddie's captain when he was in the army. Kaptennya itu selalu berkata, "No one will be left behind". And he kept his word to Eddie, although in a messy way. It was in Phillipines, in a battle. Pesawat2 menjatuhkan meriam2, ledakan di mana-mana. Eddie dan regunya baru saja meledakkan sebuah tambang. Dan tiba2 Eddie melihat sebuah bayangan berkelebat di balik gubuk yang ikut terbakar. Eddie berkeras pergi ke gubuk itu. Tapi si Kapten melarangnya, karena tidak cukup waktu untuk melarikan diri. Eddie berkeras, akhirnya si kapten menembak kaki Eddie, yang meninggalkan cacat seumur hidup. For the whole life, Eddie mourned his handicap, he never knew how he got the wound, till this time.
The third person, was Ruby, the woman whose name is used as the name of the theme park where Eddie worked. She was there for Eddie, to explained about Eddie's father, how he died, how he loved Eddie, eventhough he never showed it up.
The fourth was Eddie's wife, Margueritte. And the fifth was the girl Eddie killed in the war.
Bukunya menyentuh ... it is not a thriller, jadi kalau gak suka drama, dijamin bakalan ngantuk. Tapi at the end of the book, aku mendapatkan sesuatu ... "Oh gitu toh maksudnya" ... that every little thing in the world is connected to each other. Each of us has our own story, but they are just a part of a bigger story, the story about life.
Bagus banget ... huhuhuuu ... kalau kamu pernah baca Tuesdays with Morrie, more or less, this book has equal quality lah! Gak nyesel belinya :p
