Eternal Island

Novel Rejected

Brakkk ....!

"What is this, Fran? Your book is very bad, the storyline is weak, the characters are unclear, and the ending is not convincing, I really do not think, a best writer Franky and already famous for thousands of his works, he said, suddenly falling in popularity, all the publishers' headquarters rejected your work, actually .... what do you think? Are you still not sincere, with your wife gone?"

In a novel publishing house, a middle-aged woman of not very tall stature, she was about forty years old and named Nurdiana, he looked very upset and slammed several sheets of paper containing a copy of the manuscript onto the table.

The eagle-eyed, brownish and sharp-edged man was silent for a moment, he seemed to be thinking ....

"I'm sorry, ma'am, I have a lot of thoughts, so not so focused on what I've written, please give me another chance, and I promise to write even better," please Franky with my face.

"Fran, we are not just a writer and publisher, but already like our own family, if there is a problem, share with me, who knows I can give the best solution," said Nurdiana.

Franky shook his head, and Nurdiana exhaled a rough breath.

"Yes, Fran, you just have to recreate this novel, correct the location of the error, the point of this novel must be perfect, you understand, right?" nurdiana.

Franky nodded.

"Now, we go eat first, I'll call my husband, we eat three at a time talk, so you don't feel too stressed."

Franky nodded, and with a shaky step he followed Nurdiana into the car. Nurdiana drove her car to a food stall. Upon arriving, the two of them went down and went inside to find a seat. Shortly, Abdul Rozak the editor and husband of Nurdiana came to Franky and Nurdiana.

"Hello, Fran, how are you?" abdul Rozak asked as he extended his hand to invite Franky to shake his hand.

The handsome man, only returned Abdul Rozak's hand with a forced smile.

Nurdiana was concerned about Franky, she looked at the man with a look of pity. Nurdiana finally told the problem of Franky's work that he considered bad.

After thinking for a while, Abdul Rozak had an idea.

"Em, how about you go, to the Eternal Island? Later my assistant will take you and accompany you while there, the place is very quiet, so you can find inspiration for the story you will make, and I am sure, you will find it, you can definitely make the perfect novel" Abdul Rozak said.

"Eternal Island? What place is that? All my life, I've never heard of it at all" Franky said.

"Yes, Fran, I'm the same, I've never been to that place, so I don't know what it looks like, but my friend told me, he is also a writer just like you, he once failed to write because of a problem as well, and he heard from someone, if there is a place called Eternal Island and the place is very quiet. At first my friend was just a fad to go to that place, but it was really unexpected, after returning from the Island, he brought a very extraordinary work. He said he got the inspiration to make a novel on the island." Abdul Rozak said with great enthusiasm.

"How, Fran? Are you interested in going to that place? Who knows, you get a lot of inspiration to write," continued Nurdiana hopeful.

"I'm willing, ma'am, but don't be so sudden, I'm asking for time to prepare everything."

"It doesn't matter, Fran, I didn't tell you to hurry" Nurdiana said.

Franky seemed to think for a moment ....

"Em, how about the day after tomorrow?" Franky.

"No problem, tomorrow the day after, let my assistant pick you up straight, to your house." Abdul Rozak.

Before long, the food ordered had arrived.

"Come on, Ron, please eat it" said Nurdiana.

"Yes, Madam," Franky nodded.

After eating, Franky said goodbye to go home.

"Thank you for lunch, ma'am, sir, I'm sorry."

"Okay, Fran, the day after tomorrow don't forget," said Nurdiana smiling with relief.

Franky nodded, and passed from before the couple.

"Pity him, his soul has been deeply shaken since the death of his wife" Nurdiana murmured.

"I also feel, how does it feel to lose someone we love so much, but whose name is destiny, where can we fight?" abdul Rozak.

Soraya's face reddened like a boiled crab.

"really? Yes, hopefully if it is a girl, she is beautiful like me hehe," said Soraya while chuckling.

After a while, they arrived at a supermarket.

"Darling, you're going down by yourself isn't it? I'll wait in the car, please choose whatever you need, and pay with this" said Franky, taking his wallet out of his pocket, and took out a credit card and handed it to Soraya.

"Alright Mas, you wait here yes, be careful not to be naughty you know," said Soraya while receiving the card.

"Who's the same bitch? franky asked, it was funny.

"Yes that flirtatious or that other female godain" Soraya licked.

"Where? There are no women here, but there are mothers who sell fried food, when yes I tempt him, yes can replace you say," Franky membombal.

Soraya chuckled, then got out of the car and headed inside the Mall.

Arriving inside, Soraya chose the items she needed, after feeling enough she headed to the cashier to pay for it.

Soraya got out to the car.

"Have you got all the stuff, baby?" ask Franky

"Had it, let's go home, oh yes just by the shortcut, let's get there quickly," said Soraya.

Instantly Franky has a bad feeling, and his heart beats to an irregularity.

"What's wrong with me?" inner Franky.

"Mass? How do you dream?" ask Soraya curiously.

"Darling, should we not follow the path that is on this road alone?" ask Franky doubtfully.

"Ah. the road jammed Mas, tuh look in front, the car queue stopped a lot, keep us up until home at what time, I can not bear to want to relax at home, it was hot anyway, the weather," Soraya insisted.

Finally, Franky was forced to obey Soraya's will.

"All right, my dear."

Then Franky drove his car home, he turned around to pass the shortcut, because the main road was a little jammed.

Now Franky's car has been on a small road, the atmosphere of the road is very quiet, only seen a few vehicles passing on the road, and some people who are walking.

When passing a bend from the opposite direction, a truck loaded with sand passed at a very high speed, it seemed like the truck was in a hurry to carry the load.

Along with that, the car driven by Franky and Soraya collided with the truck.

There was a collision between the two vehicles, the truck hit Franky's car until it bounced to the side of the road and hit a large tree.

While the truck driver had lost balance and finally rolled into the rice field near the edge of the road.

Everyone who saw the incident rushed to the two vehicles.

The truck driver, Franky, and Soraya appear unconscious, and they are taken to a nearby hospital by people.

In a room in a Hospital, Franky is awake, he wakes up from his sleep and looks around, he looks astonished.

"Where am I?" mumbled wailing.

A doctor came in shortly.

"Mother is conscious?" ask the doctor.

"Doctor, why am I in this place?" Franky asked back.

"Sorry sir, there were some residents carrying three victims of the collision, Mr and Mr.'s wife, then a truck driver.

"Keep, my wife where's the Doctor?" ask Franky who looks more panicked.

"Patience sir, your wife died at the scene with her baby, she was bleeding heavily from a violent impact, and we apologize that we have tried our best to help them, but unfortunately God willed otherwise" replied the Doctor with a face full of regret.

"A.. a. a... whataa? No, Doc, the doctor's gotta be kidding me, right?" hatch Franky.

Finally the doctor took Franky to the morgue, all over Franky limp immediately saw the body of Soraya, his beloved wife lying stiff on the bed, her face was pale and her body temperature was very cold.

"The driver who was driving the truck also died, so only you survived, I stayed first" the doctor said.

Franky's cry broke out instantly, he lamented his fate at the residence of his beloved wife.

After his wife's body was brought home and purified, Franky buried it in a tomb near his home with the permission of the family from Soraya.

Since Soraya's departure, Franky has become often moody, mentally down and he loses his concentration on writing a novel.

Flashback...

****

Franky sobbed in the room, looking at the photos of Soraya hanging on the wall.

He still could not believe that Soraya would leave so soon.

There was regret in him.

"If I hadn't followed Soraya's will for a short cut, this wouldn't have happened and Soraya was still alive, ah, it was fate, I couldn't fight her, I couldn't fight her, after all, if I am sad, Soraya cannot live anymore" Franky murmured in his heart.

Clear threads dripped back on his cheeks, he felt a great loss, because he loved Soraya so much.

"I don't want to drag on in grief, because after all, life has to go on.

And tomorrow I will go to the Eternal Island as Nurdiana said, maybe there I can forget everything that has happened, and I can concentrate on writing again," thought Franky.

Finally Franky prepared everything, he packed his clothes into a suitcase, he planned to be on the Island for some time.

Not to forget Franky brought a handycam containing Soraya videos, and some photos of Soraya did not forget he put in his suitcase.

After everything was arranged, Franky walked to the bathroom to wash his face and feet, then he changed his clothes until he finally fell asleep because he was tired.
