Alasan Mbulet ... Bilang Aja Ga Cinta

"I didn't marry you because you were perfect. I didn't even marry you because I loved you. I married you because you gave me a promise. That promise made up for your faults. And the promise I gave you made up for mine. Two imperfect people got married and it was the promise that made the marriage. And when our children were growing up, it wasn't a house that protected them; and it wasn't our love that protected them - it was that promise."

"Aku tidak menikahimu karena kau sempurna, atau karena aku mencintaimu. Aku menikahimu karena kita telah telah berjanji. Janji yang akan membuat kita mau memperbaiki kesalahan masing-masing. Dua orang yang tak sempurna menikah, janjilah sebetulnya yang menyatukan mereka. Dan kelak jika anak-anak kita tumbuh, Bukan rumah yang akan melindungi mereka, Bukan pula cinta kita, Tapi janji itu...."

~Thornton Wilder

Toh cinta bukan segalanya.
