Book Review: How Far Would You Go For A Commitment?

Recently I read a book called "Test Pack" by Ninit Yunita. A friend recommended it after she watched the movie "Test Pack: You Are My Baby". I already tried to find the DVD of it but couldn't find one yet. So, when I saw the book at the book store I decided to buy it. It is a good book. It gives a BIG question to everyone who read it (it challenges me): "How far would you go for a commitment?"

The story began with a marriage couple who had been married for 7 years and still unable to have a child. Tata, the wife, begins to worry and obsess to have a child while Rachmat, the husband, thinks that having a child is not a must. Tata tries many ways to get pregnant but afraid to go to the specialist to seek whether they are having a problem to have one. The couple finally commit to see a specialist. The gynecologist said Tata is normal, there wouldn't be any problem for her to have a child. Tata is happy to received the news and insisted her husband to do the test. He did the test and the result is bad. His sperms are too weak, he couldn't give a child to Tata. If Rachmat is willing to accept Tata whether she can gives a child or not, would Tata do the same for Rachmat?

So, how far would you go for a commitment when love no longer enough?
For me, to make a commitment needs a courage and to stay in it needs respect, trust, and bigger courage. When I decide to make one, I will do anything, sacrifice everything to stay in it...

Here are some quotes from the book that I like:

Don't love someone because of what/how/who they are. From now on, start loving someone because you want to. (Ninit Yunita - Test Pack)

To sustain a relationship you must have a commitment. (Dimas Seno - Test Pack)

A commitment, it has taken myself, embarked into a dangerous environment to work on, a gut that most people are reluctant to engage in... A strong passion that perhaps is unique that no one has ever committed to... In short, it takes one's dignity to risk should a person failed to hold one. (Luigi. Pralangga - Test Pack).

As far as the ocean of life would be, as deep as it would be. I'll swim through it. As cold as it would be, as hot as it would be. I'll adapt through it. As strong the wind would be, so as soft as it would be. I'll stand through it. Even if the ocean of water become the ocean of fire I'll go through it, anyway I can. Cause this is life, and life, is all about commitment. (Suari Widilaksono - Test Pack)
