Konserto Terakhir



Konserto terakhir ( The Last Concert) was in my view and taste a masterpiece. The sad story of Hilmi. With no schooling, Hilmi worked as gardener. Fell in love with his "cousin", Hayati. Became a musician after that and a truly talented one. A very sad story all the way filled with love stories...

The last concert was a very apt title in my opinion. In the ending of the novel the title leaves a strong impression. An internationally recognized musician, Hilmi was supposed to be the conductor of the orchestra to be performed infront of royalty and to be broadcasted throughout the whole country. An accident happened. An ambulance came. Hilmi unconcious. His long life secret love, Hayati who was apart from Hilmi for many years return from London to see Hilmi. She became the sudden substitute of Hilmi and lead the orchestra. After everything finished, all the people from the past returned to Hilmi's life after so many years. They visited him in the hospital. Hilmi's foster father told the true identity of Hilmi's father. Hilmi is actually the brother of Hayati. They left the hospital. Hilmi died a few minutes later. Hilmi's true father, upon hearing his son's death fell down to the floor holding the phone in his hand and passed away...

Imagining the story would pierce my heart, the sadness would creep inside me...

"Konserto Terakhir..."
