Revision paper 1
Tak .... Tak .... Tak .... Tak ....
The typing sound now filled the room. Across the lighted screen, the woman was focused on continuing to type quickly before stopping because of the incoming call.
He glanced at the name of the caller before receiving the call and brought the smartphone closer to his ear ”ya, brother Lia.”
“ have you written all the stories, it's been almost eight o'clock at night.” the voice across the phone is anxious.
“Iya a little more, after all the novel race this time must send a file, should not email easier.” the woman leaned back while looking at a computer full of writing that she had written.
“They make different rules. Whatever, the important thing is you have to finish it immediately, do not sleep too night." said Lia with affirmation.
“ya big sister, I soon finished” in the light of the corner of the lip of the woman curled hearing the words of Lia.
“Well you should finish it immediately and sleep Melisa” with the words ending the breath, the phone disconnected.
Melisa smiled, to her Lia was the person closest to her and was always anxious for her. Melisa did not blame or annoy him at all.
Lia is Melisa's older cousin and they have been familiar since childhood.
After Melisa's mother died she lived with Lia who happened to be her house right next door, according to her Lia was very considerate with her even though she was sometimes chatty. While his father always left early in the morning and came home at night when he was still or had fallen asleep so that he became a stranger to his father.
Now that Lia has a husband and a son, her attitude has become even worse. But Melisa is happy because her brother did not forget her even though she is now married.
Eliminating her thoughts, Melisa continued to write word-for-word on her laptop and soon managed to finish the final part of the story. Melisa was relieved, she had finally finished this work.
When preparing to print the writing. Melisa finds that the paper has been used up and she forgets to buy HVS paper. Melisa was dumbfounded for her stupidity before taking her purse, putting on a jacket and immediately going out to buy some paper.
Melisa doesn't know if the convenience store near here is still open. After about 5 minutes of travel Melisa felt the path she was going through was foreign. due to panic, she had taken the wrong path. Sighing softly, Melisa was about to turn to the path she had passed earlier.
'It's a good thing I'm not directional blind' Melisa said in her heart.
Just as Melisa was about to turn around she suddenly saw a shop that was of interest to her. The shop has an antique atmosphere. Written on the top plaque is a dimensional store with very large and luminous letters, there is also a very small Javanese script in the bottom corner which if read means connecting.
Melisa kept on being attracted to the store as if someone whispered something that the store had what she was looking for. After a slight hesitation, Melisa kept walking and entered the store.
Like the outside, the inside is very antique with carvings on the furniture. The atmosphere was very calm and smooth. Even so, the contents inside remain the same as other convenience stores, but if seen clearly there are also many objects that should not be in other convenience stores.
Melisa looked towards the payment table, a middle-aged man standing smilingly looked at her and said “Halo, welcome customer”
Melisa smiled faintly and hesitantly asked, “paman is this really a one-stop shop?”
The uncle said softly. “Ya, what are you looking for?”
Melisa turned her head to the right and left to look for what she wanted before asking, “what is there HVS paper ?”
“ya, of course.” The uncle searched on the side glass shelf before giving a stack of paper to Melisa.
“ini, is nothing still intact?” Melisa looked confusedly at the paper in her hand.
“no, that's enough. The price is Rp xx.000,-“ said the uncle while still maintaining his smile.
Uncle received the money, then waved his hand, “ya, goodbye, hope you make a good story”
With these words of uncle Melisa regained her senses and hurriedly returned to the contract without feeling any oddity with what the middle-aged man said.
Melisa immediately headed for her contract in a hurry to look back.
In the darkness a mysterious person keeps watching Melisa until she gets into her contract.
“They have returned,” after saying those words, the mysterious person left.
A while ago, the dimensional store.
The middle-aged man continued to stare at the door Melisa had left before a voice disturbed her.
“wah, the first customer after returning here." a handsome man was in the middle of exiting the inner door of the store.
" yes, it's so much fun here." the middle-aged man took his breath away as if enjoying the air he had long since missed.
"wasn't Uncle Hyde placed in this branch first, and there was a problem so uncle Hyde delayed coming here again.” The handsome man took the snacks carelessly and started eating them.
“someone knows that I'm back." Hyde Blackwell smiled.
"wow, isn't that a special person who can know this store without having to be chosen by it." the man replied after he recalled having read about a similar matter.
Hyde nodded lightly before consciously speaking to who he was. " Eugene Wolfgang, why is a boy like you here ?"
“Oh, right now I am the introduction." the man said with a proud smile to himself.
“iya-iya, I will return first before looking for the next customer,” Hyde walked to the door to flip the board from open to close before walking to the inner shop door followed by Eugene behind him.

Melisa who had finished everything heaved a sigh of relief.she had reread her work to ensure the workmanship. Actually Melisa felt the protagonist in the story was too exaggerated and impressed like an attention seeker.
But to bring out the world on her side and everyone loves her she kept writing it that way.
One day he could feel that the reader would hate him for making a character suffer for no reason, but he thought it was just a story he made up and did not feel too guilty for him.
Without such a character how the story goes. Wouldn't that be boring. Maybe also other characters are very unreasonable, but indeed why, it does not matter if the story becomes interesting because of it.
the readers will only pay attention to the protagonist and not the opposite character of him.how devious the protagonist is or how evil he is, the readers will be tolerant of him.
While the other characters will only be glimpsed by them if he is close to the protagonist. Antagonists will be ignored and hostile despite having a chaotic past.
Melisa then removes the disturbing thoughts and moves from her chair to sleep. He lay on his bed and covered himself.
Melisa closed her eyes and slept soundly a while later. Melisa did not even know something had happened around her. The paper containing the story she wrote was emitting a faint light. Every word to her also seemed to flow out and dance around the room. The light continued to strengthen until it covered the entire room and swallowed the sleeping Melisa.
