Mahamaya

                    MAHAMAYA BY : RABINDRANATH TAGORE , INDONESIA

    My reflection about the story of Mahamaya  , maybe their love story is not that perfect but they both find  reasons to became it worth it . Before I read this story I was excited  because, it was all about a love story . The story of a girl who loved someone but she knows that they can't be. The story of Mahamaya for me was a nice love story although they don't leave happily ever after but then I can see and feel that they really loved  each other . In the side of Rajib he was a gentleman , respectful and loyal because he can do everything just to show his loved for Mahamaya , perhaps in his eyes Mahamaya is the most beautiful girl he ever met , but in a tragic and unexpected day the brother of Mahamaya told her to marry an old man, and on the next day his husband died. And because of their traditions as a wife she should need to burn herself to represent that she really loved her husband and that's what we called a suttee. And on that day Rajib also decided to get suicide, but then a very heavy rain came then there's someone knocking the door and when Rajib opened it he saw a lady covered a veil and knowing that a girl was Mahamaya, and they have an agreement that Mahamaya would stay with Rajib , when Rajib promise not to get a veil covered in the entire face of Mahamaya  ,but one  night when Mahamaya was sleeping  Rajib accidentally saw the face of Mahamaya,  and got shock when she saw Rajib looking at her face , and she run with out even looking back Rajib. I was amazed of the story because for me it was a very inspirational story and in this story I can see the importance of trust, and also I can see their unconditional loved  for each other.
