Chapter 42 Victor and Alexa
Alexa smiled at the front of the book. “Not all female heroines always have a rival as well as a male hero so that they are just equal.” She laughed softly. “I need to go out again because I’m close to the end of the story, and in the last few pages I can’t think of a scene before the end of the story.” She took off her jacket and left the house. Meanwhile, Victor was already in a park, sitting in a chair and just looking at the river. Alexa was walking to the park to rest her mind and write her scenes in the book before the end, but as she approached a chair, someone
seemed familiar with her eyes, so she came even closer to it, and her eyes widened slightly when she saw the old man she had talked to before in the same chair where he was sitting now. She came over and greeted him. “Hi! Grandpa, it’s good to see you again.” Alexa smiled.
He turned to her and smiled. “It’s you, again.”
She quickly sat down next to it. “How are you, grandpa?”
“It’s okay to just think a little.”
She frowned. “Do you have a problem?”
“A little.” then smiled sadly.
“What’s that, maybe I can help?”
It turned to her. “Don’t worry, it’s just a small thing.” Victor just said that. “Are you sure?”
Victor nodded. “How’s your writing? Are you writing anything now?” Victor asked. Daniella smiled a lot. “I have a story to write now and I’m close to finishing it, but as I get closer to the ending, it seems like it’s hard to make a scene before the story ends, grandpa.” Victor looked at the sky. “It’s harder to make an ending than to start. Because when you start first and you reach the climax, the ending is really the hardest part. It’s sadly fun. You’ll think harder when you go to the last chapter, because you’re thinking about what a good ending would be for your characters. ”
“You’re right there, grandpa, it’s hard to end if the characters in the book are so happy. Especially for the readers, it seems like it’s like until the boy and girl have grandchildren, they want to have a story, even if they’re just grandchildren of your predecessor story. ” She smiled at that thought.
“It’s one of the qualities that you’re a good writer when you’re in that situation when a reader comments that they’ll be waiting for your next book again. That’s the sign that you’re one of the good ones, writer. ”Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Really?”
Victor nodded. “Yes, because they won’t say that if they don’t read well. You can only get two comments from readers. To say that your story is ugly, or to tell you good things and ask for another story from you. ” “I hope I can receive a comment that they still want me to make a story when I finish my story now and apply and be accepted at a publishing house.”
“It’s going to happen. Just believe in yourself.”
“I noticed that you know a lot about writing, grandpa. Are you also an author?”
Victor smiled. I, too, am a writer, but I recently lost something I was working on, so I can’t begin again.”
“Maybe it’s just at your house and somewhere.”
“I hope so, but no. By the way, what kind of story are you writing now?”
Excited, she sat properly and faced Victor slightly. “High school story, grandpa.”
“That’s also one of the many high school story readers, but what genre do you think is hard to make an ending?”
She frowned. “I think it’s a fantasy genre because sometimes the character is human and someone with power, so they can’t stay together.” What about you? ” Victor smiled at her answer. “Romance,” Victor’s short said.
She wondered. “Why romance? There are more happy endings in romance, aren’t there?” “Not all, once there is a romance in a genre, there is no exact end to what may happen. They may not be together, the protagonist meets again, but they have other girlfriends or maybe their partner died in the story. And especially when the exciting part is the climax, at the end you will suddenly read a tearful page. You can write an ending that is happy and your character continues in the story, but in reality it is very difficult because it should still be appropriate at the beginning and middle of the story. So romance is the hardest ending for me. ”
“But isn’t it in a series of parts of the story as well, so maybe sometimes the ending isn’t good?”
“You’re right there. It’s better to feel your story so that until the end, even if the ending is not good, the readers will still feel why it’s like that. Yes, they will regret the ending, but the good thing is that they accepted the ending even if the protagonist of the book doesn’t stay together. The end of a book can’t always be as happy as a person’s life. Not everyone stays together even though they’ve been together for a few years, right? ” “What if the readers wanted the characters in the book to be together forever?” Victor shook his head with a smile. “Don’t ever listen to them. You’re the writer, so you have to follow how you want it to end. It’s okay that they asked for a sequel and know how the story will end, and if you want to continue it with book 2, but don’t listen to their request for what should be the end. It’s as if you’re asking for the reader’s opinion and then you write. People have different tastes in books. Some people like the way it is written, but others don’t. So no matter how good your story is, if others don’t want it, there’s nothing you can do, so it’s better to just focus on your story until the end. ” She was stunned because the old man really had a point. “Others are bad when it comes to commenting.”
“There’s nothing you can do with that person. Don’t they know that even in real life, it’s just a matter of having a good theory until the end? Some didn’t end well either. Others have been married for a long time but separated. The lovers who are close to getting married, but suddenly one is in love with the other person, and what you thought was a happy family is not because they have another family. So not everyone ends up with a happy ending. You want that to happen, but not everyone, so it can’t be followed how they want it to end. ” Daniella was deep in thought, because she suddenly fell silent and stared at nothingness.
“Why does it seem like it’s hard to fall in love when that’s what happens?” she said suddenly. Victor looked at her. “Do you know why that is?” Alexa just shook her head. “From the very beginning, they weren’t for each other. The relationship that lasted for several years would be ruined when, in time, she had to leave because someone else was destined for her. Like you’re in the same place and you nearly meet, but you still haven’t met because that’s what destiny wants because it’s not the right time yet.”
The two fell silent and both looked at the river. Victor was right; if it wasn’t time to meet, it wouldn’t have happened yet. Just like now that the real owner of that book is
Alexa didn’t know that the real owner of the book she was holding was the person she is talking to now and who wouldn’t think that the book Victor is looking for is already with Alexa, the one she is talking to now. Victor was right, that was the right time to find it and it doesn’t look like it is yet today.
