For you, a thousand times over.

Crying.

I'm not a kind of person who can easily cry.

I'll cry when I get damn pissed off, or when I watch a damn sad movie.
I'll cry when I lost/damn missed my loved ones.
I'll cry-in-the-shower when I get damn stressed out.
I'll cry only when a damn sad thing happens around me.

It's hard to make me cry. Because you really need the 'damn' element.

Whenever I cry, I didn't make any sound out of it .
It's just the tears flowing. And usually it lasted only for a few minutes.

But a few days ago, I cried for 2 hours, or more, I guess. And I was 'hiccuping' when I cried. My eyes get all puffy and red for the whole day.

Wait. Why? Because I cried due to something I had never cried of before.

I cried because of a novel.
Damn. No book had ever made me cry! And I was crying badly, sadly.

That book had tarnished my one kind of reputation(that I had never cried because of a book)

If you ever come across this novel on any bookshelf in any bookstore, take a good look at it.

I hate it. Wait. Why?
It's damn sad. I mean it, really!

I hate it cuz it made me cry and I hate it because I like it.

Conclusion: this book is brilliant! (Tho there are some views of the author which I find them hard to agree with). Nevertheless, the character of Hassan really touched my heart.

Even by quoting the phrase "For you, a thousand times over..." gets my heart breaking all over again.

Brilliant, Mr. Khaled Hosseini!

And now, I'm anticipating for the Film. Waiting. Excited. Oh! I've got to spare a box of tissue for it. Hehe~

For you, a thousand times over...
