...~•-•~...
A girl sat pensively reading a few piles of novels that were in front of her,
"Why is the plot like this??!" His shout was a little loud making the entire Library glance at him.
He sat in the corner of the Library using a light green shirt paired with black jeans, not forgetting he wore a hat to make it not stand out.
In fact, wearing a light green t-shirt alone makes it very prominent because the average person in the room wears a dark shirt, plus the shout earlier made the gaze of the entire Library pointed towards him.
"What wiry? Never seen anyone sprain what?!" The girl snapped at him one by one who looked at him strangely.
All the people who were looking at him shook their heads in surprise and continued their respective activities.
"If you knew who I am, you must have gone to your knees apologizing for staring at me!" The girl went back to reading her novel.
Suddenly a man with a suit stellan approached the girl.
"Miss Reana, it's time to go home" said the man bowed respectfully.
"really? Bring this novel! I want to protest with Grandpa!" The command of the girl named Reana then walked out of the Library.
Reana Alexandra is the granddaughter of Bryan Alexandra, the number one businessman in the city. The Alexandra family owns many companies in various fields such as gaming companies, fashion and even novel publishing, they also have many hotels in various regions, none of which is not familiar with the surname Alexandra.
Reana is a 20-year-old girl, has a beautiful face and a sweet smile, there is no man who does not like it, especially considering her background is Alexandra.
As a child Reana had an accident, since then her grandfather ordered bodyguards to protect her at all times. Reana can't interact back with people carelessly and only the child of her Grandpa's trusted family can be her friend.
Reana is so pampered and served like the Princess that she has a haughty, arrogant, and selfish nature. What he wants must be achieved no matter how, he does not want to lose to anyone.
Because Reana loved to read novels since childhood, her grandfather founded the company BookA, a novel publishing company for Reana so that she could read novels as much as possible.
From the first Reana always selects writers in his company, if there is a novel that he does not like then automatically the author out of the company.
Selfish right? That's Reana, but it would be very lucky for a writer if there is a novel that Reana really likes then the salary of the author can increase 4 or even 5 times according to the level of Reana's favorite in the novel, sales of the novel will increase. You could say the BookA company is here to fulfill the desire to read Reana.
Reana walked into her Grandpa's study.
"Grandfather.." Calling Reana while running to hug her Grandfather, Bryan smiled and stroked Reana's hair softly.
"What's wrong? Why is the look on Grandpa's favorite grandson's face pouting? Is there a novel that Rea doesn't like?" Bryan asked looking at his granddaughter's pouting face.
Bryan knew very well the look on his grandson's face when he didn't like a novel or even when he really liked a novel.
"Rea wants to meet the author of Journey to Love, her novel makes Rea kesel! Rea wants to change the ending!" Reana makes a pouty face
"Journey to Love? Indeed ending how this Grandpa's favorite grandson wants?" Persuade Bryan,
"Hanny's ending is the same Sean, why Sean? Hanny's supposed to end up with Ethan!" Reana told her frustration.
"Ethan was always there despite his cold attitude, while Sean was only his first love, the ending made Rea upset!" Oceh Reana's,
"Who is the author, Kek? Why is this novel on the market?! Why did BookA print this novel?!!" Reana evaporates her emotions, Bryan can only stroke Reana's hair gently to soothe.
"The novel is yes, Grandpa also does not know who the author is, because suddenly the novel has been published, Grandpa wants to pull it back but it has been sold out and many like it,"
"Rea doesn't like the novel?" Ask Grandpa.
"Rea loves! Which Rea doesn't like is the ending! Rea wants to meet the author and have him change the ending, or Rea herself go into the novel and change it, huh!"
"Hahaha, can Rea enter the novel?" Bryan asked, trying to make a joke.
"Can, Rea just go in Rea's face like an ad on TV, they can definitely help Rea in" Reana said confidently.
Bryan just shook his head to hear Reana's words who believed too much that the ads on TV could actually move places by going into the picture.
It's Bryan's fault for letting his granddaughter read more novels than going out for a walk with her friend, so Reana's imagination is so high that it's hard to tell which reality is just fantasy.
"Rea came home, it's been a few days Rea did not go home and just quietly read the novel in the company, Mama was worried because Rea never came home,"
"Mama also cooked Rea's favorite food, later Grandpa followed home" Pinta Bryan looked at the face of his favorite grandson who looked sleepless.
Reana thought a little before answering,
"Yes Rea came home, but Rea went home alone without being escorted, huh Kek?" Pinta Reana said she hoped she would not be tightened again.
"Hmmm yaudah you go home alone, but be careful on the road huh?" Bryan kissed Reana slowly.
"Ready Commander!"
...**...
Reana enters the car in the company parking lot, she tries to call someone.
"Hallo's? How's it? You got the address?" Reana asked someone across the phone.
"Yes, I got it, but the address position is really strange, it's at the end of the city and the place is already uninhabited, you sure you want to go there?" Ask the person across the phone.
"Gue does not care, you just send the address now, after that I immediately transfer the money. I have to meet the author of this novel, I have to!" Reana's command then shuts down the connection.
After getting a message, Reana immediately drove her car to the address she got.
In the journey Reana began to recall the story of the novel he read.
"From my vision, I don't think the novel is the story of the author's imagination" Inner Reana was driving.
"The novel is like telling a story about someone else, or it could be a story about a classmate and the author just being an observer in the relationship"
"And when Hanny was with Ethan, the story was so real and felt in the hearts of readers"
"That makes me think that the story that happened between Hanny and Ethan is the author's own story,"
"It can be seen that Ethan and Hanny's moments are written so detailed and meaningful compared to the story of Hanny and Sean whose story is not so romantic, there is nothing that feels lacking."
"But even so, real stories and in novels have differences. The difference is in the character's position"
"The author is in Ethan's position in the novel and the person the author likes is in Hanny's position. You could say that the author likes that person but that person likes someone else"
"It can be concluded that the writer's position in the story is a side woman who likes Ethan, then Mina a side woman who likes Sean"
"The question is, why in the novel the author does not present the character?"
"Why doesn't he have a side character who likes Ethan?
Why didn't he present his character and instead put his own moment into Ethan and Hanny? So much stuff in the story"
...***...
Reana arrived at a building according to the address sent by someone on the phone earlier.
Reana parked her car in front of the building and walked out. There were a lot of people passing by in front of the building and even a lot of people selling around.
"What is uninhabited, rame gini kok" Gerutu Reana then walked into the building.
While inside the building, Reana saw no one but the building was as clean and tidy as anyone living there.
"Excuse me!" Reana shouted hoping that someone would come out to greet her, but there was no one.
"Per-Akh!!" Suddenly the electricity died, the rain immediately fell with a rush even accompanied by lightning, Reana could not see around because it was dark.
He turned around and walked out thinking about his steps when he entered. When he made it out, he saw around no one, only himself.
"W-what the fuck, I'm no longer in a horror novel, right?" Reana is goosebumps, she tries to run into her car.
Just as she opened the car door, a sound of leaping could be heard, Reana looked up to see someone jump off the top of the building and immediately fell on her.
The two of them lay weakly, the person was covered in blood all over his body, faintly Reana heard a whisper
"Can you live my life? You want to live but no one expects you to live.Every day it feels like dying"
Reana faintly saw the person smiling at her, Reana's consciousness slowly began to disappear, just as lightning struck her car and the car burst into flames hitting the person's body and Reana's body.
...***...
A weakly lying girl slowly opened her eyes, she looked at the ceiling of the room with a blank look.
"Am I asleep?" Inwardly
He looked around and a middle-aged woman fell asleep beside him. He tried to get up slowly so that the person sleeping beside him was not disturbed.
He sat down and looked around, now he realized that he was in the Hospital. The girl remembered nothing and why she was lying here, her mind blank.
The middle-aged woman who was asleep beside him woke up, he saw the girl who was lying in a coma for a few days now sitting and staring at him, suddenly the woman shed tears and hugged the girl.
"Thank you. Thank you for still surviving until now, Elena" said the woman calling the girl, Elena.
The girl Elena called was still silent not understanding anything, just then the doctor came into the room.
"Congratulations and thank you for holding on, how are you feeling right now? Do you feel anything else? Like there's a limb that can't be moved?" Ask the doctor
Elena examined her body while moving her hands and feet then shook her head towards the doctor.
"Thank God... Miss Rena, can I have a word?" Said the doctor glancing towards the middle-aged woman.
"Wait a minute, Auntie, come back" she looked at Elena.
Aunt Rena and the doctor walked out of the room, and Elena was alone in the room.
"Elena? My name is Elena? Why does it sound familiar when called his name but it feels familiar?"
Elena was still confused as she had not a single memory flashed through her mind.
Moments later, Aunt Rena came back in and approached Elena.
"Said the doctor, you can go home in a few days because there are no fatal wounds,"
"Again thanks for sticking with Elena.." Aunt Rena smiled.
"Aunt... who?" Ask Elena.
"You don't want Auntie? Aunt the landlord of the contract where you live, since there's no news of Aunt looking for you, it's a good thing Aunt found you before it's too late" Aunt Rena replied
"Can you tell me what happened?" Elena asked out of curiosity why he could be here and who he really was.
Aunt Elena took a deep breath, she looked at Elena then held her hand tightly.
"You fell out of a building, rather you tried to kill yourself"
Like a heart suddenly pierced by a sharp object, hearing Aunt Rena's words hurt Elena's feelings, even Elena's tears suddenly dripped.
Not because of the words that Elena attempted suicide, but because of the memory that suddenly appeared when she heard the words.
Elena recalled, she with a bruised body and messy clothes walking while sobbing in an uncertain direction, she was walking with a limp leg that was injured for some reason.
Because he felt tired and his chest felt so painful that he walked up to the old building that was uninhabited, even the door was unlocked.
Elena walked up through the stairs slowly towards the top floor. He reached the balcony and walked towards the end of the building, staring downwards with trembling feelings.
"I don't want to live like this anymore.." He said it last time and then jumped straight away.
"Akhc!" Shouting Elena held her head, her memory of that day made her remember a pain she could not describe, although it looked vague but somehow the feeling felt tight and painful.
"What's wrong? Is anyone sick? Doc-"
Elena held Aunt Rena back from calling the doctor, because what she needed now was not an examination, but calmness.
"Elena gapapa Bi, don't worry about that" Elena said softly.
Elena glanced at the table to look for the tissue, but there was only a book and a cell phone, Elena picked up the book.
"What book is this?" He asked, His aunt does not know
"People found it lying next to you, they thought it was your book so he took it too" the aunt said
Elena opened the cover, a book title written there.
"Journey to Love?"
Again her memories suddenly appeared, not the memories as Elena, but her memories as Reana.
He recalled that he had read a novel in the Library and also remembered the events of that night. Now he knows who Elena is.
Elena is a side character who died in the novel, her death the same, jumping off the top of the building.
The reason for his death is mysterious, there is no explanation at all in the novel because the focus of the novel is the story of the three main characters. Reana is Elena.
"Wait... So, I'm getting into a novel? As Elena?"
