The Last Concerto
So this year's BM literature component is Konserto Terakhir - another drama.
Honestly, putting race aside, is this the best they can do? No matter, I am a fan of drama after all. The point of this post is to talk about how sad and fucked up Hilmi's life is.
Here's the main gist of it all.
Hilmi, some anak saudara of Datuk Johari showed up out of the blue and everyone's uncomfortable. Datuk Johari doesn't want to be reminded of his hometown and his wife is a superficial woman who's afraid Hilmi will embarrass them all because he's just some country boy. Hayati is just like meh.
So Hilmi fell in love with Hayati but they can't see each other because Datin Salamh (Datuk Johari's wife) doesn't like them together. Hilmi initially worked as a gardener for Datuk Johari, and this girl, Azizah who only cares about face value wasn't attracted to him. He suddenly becomes a hot-shot piano player and all of a sudden she's falling to his feet.
Hayati is engaged to Mohsin (some rich boy with a good and respectable family and a white collar job) so obviously Mohsin and Hilmi don't like each other.
Hayati ends up marrying Mohsin and Hilmi marries Azizah, eventhough they're all lying to themselves and they're obviously not extremely happy to be with each other. In the end, Hilmi dies the minute Datuk Johari pengsan or something like that.
And when everyone's in the hospital thinking about the injustice Hilmi has been treated with just because he doesn't have a complete education, it is revealed that Hilmi is Datuk Johari's son from his previous arranged marriage. Turns out Datuk Johari's brother married the woman to conceal the embarrassment of Datuk Johari's flee. He knocked up his wife, and ran away, unbeknownst to him that the woman got pregnant.
See how fucked up this is? My least favourite character is Datin Salmah. That bitch.
IF I EVER HAD A HILMI IN MY LIFE.. that would be kinda sad cos that means my Dad had a previous marriage and I fell in love with my half brother lol. No. That's gross.
