The Youth Life Maze

Challenges To Serious Proof Of Being A Writer?!

My mother kept looking at me with a very sharp look and made me just fall silent, "You bought a novel when you went to the bookstore! It has been so the price of the book up to 250 thousand even though only 1 book... Very expensive Alvaro!!! You can save 250 thousand for your future!! Not to buy a novel like this... No use Alvaro!"

I could barely say anything, Aruna looked very worried about me.

I tried to stay calm and replied, "I bought the novel for me to make as a reference for me to write the novel. Besides, even if it's expensive, right, I bought it with my own money, you shouldn't care much, should you?" Aruna just looked and she tried to calm me down with her smile.

"Alvaro!! You're this... Have you dared to fight yah??!If you had read the whole novel, would you have created a book like this too!??" This question from my mother is very unreasonable, and can also provoke emotions.

"It's impossible that if I could really make such a book, I would have to spend years in the writing world, he said, and during that time I will certainly feel the feeling of failure and success writing a book. Moreover, if the novel." I answered by trying to stay calm and look fearless, when my mother looked very scary.

His gaze was too sharp, making my hair goosebumps. Then she said, "Then, wouldn't it be better to spend your money on books, a successful way to become a business person in 2026? Wouldn't that be better Alvaro?! Your future will be more secure."

"Then, what if I finished reading a few pages of books about the business, am I guaranteed immediate success?" I tried to ask him the same question again, as my mother said.

My mother's emotions seemed to have peaked, and then she took something out of her pocket, it looked like a race poster.

Aruna looked worried as Mom pulled out the poster, and Aruna seemed to have a little chat with Mom before showing the poster, "Are you serious about this? Isn't that too much mom?" Aruna said that while looking at me with a worried look.

"It's better than nothing, right? Besides you're too worried about your own sister Aruna." My mother looks very gentle talking to Aruna. A treatment I have hardly felt since childhood.

My mother with overflowing emotions immediately showed the folded poster, "Alright.... If you are really serious about becoming a novel writer try to prove it here! And you must win at least the 3rd champion!"

After I saw again it was a poster of a race between students of the National level, students here that belongs to all categories of students. It could be that I will face the work of the Saibou students.

After all, for a person who has never been in a novel writing race in my entire life to suddenly be forced to take part in a National level race... It's not that this is too fast.

"But... If I win the 3rd place, am I allowed to continue my education at Saibou Inter High School?" I boldly tried to ask what could benefit me if I managed to win the 3rd place.

"of course. You will be free to choose what you want to be. That if you win 3rd place, if it doesn't work, you have to do what your mom and dad want." Answer mother. The answer from my mother was actually enough to satisfy me and could also be a motivation for me.

I accepted the challenge from my mother with a passionate tone of speech, because, this is what is best for me. I can prove that I'm serious about being a novelist.

Then I took the poster out of my mother's hand. I am currently motivated to write my novel immediately.

But just as I was about to return to my room, Mom reminded me, "Mom almost forgot, the cost of living matter if you really have successfully started your career as a writer...." About the cost of living well, I guess what. I wouldn't expect too high if they would finance my life later.

Yep, it seems like they would not interfere too much with my life if they managed to become a novelist. If it works well... This race can be a foothold that will change my life forever. If I manage to win 3rd place I will be allowed to be what I want, at least that's what Mom promised me. If I fail, I will be the successor to their business.

So this is 50:50. I have to fight as much as possible. I went back to my room, and Aruna followed me to my room.

"Why? You worried Aru?"

"Yes that... It's a National level race loh Naru nii-chan, naturally Aru worried." Aruna's expression was really worried about me. Her nature like this makes me excited.

I stroked Aruna's head, "Hahaha... It is your nature like this that brother likes Aru. Take it easy, don't worry about your brother too much. Your brother could do it." I answered, trying to calm him down.

Aruna seemed to blush in shame. He immediately ran towards his room. Well, at least for now there won't be a problem. I went into the room and took a shower.

......................

After I finished the bath, I tried to think of the title of the novel I was going to make. I looked at the poster, the race had started in early April, it was nearing the end of April, and the deadline to submit the novel was June 1.

I think 1 month is enough to finish this novel. The requirements of the novel must be physical, at least 10 chapters, the story must be finished. And the prize is also really big, for champion 3 only I can get cash of Rp. 3,000,000. There is even a Champion of hope here, there will be 3 people who become Champions of hope, if the Champion 1-3 there will only be one winner well...

I've thought about the theme, and the theme I'm about to pick up is World War. Yes I wanted to make a World War-themed novel, although I never felt the sensation of the War in person, but I had a wild enough imagination to make it, he said, I feel very sure about this.

And 20 minutes passed..... It was approaching dinner time, but the idea for the title of the novel still did not come. I gave up for a while and went down to prepare for dinner.

......................

At 19:11, dinner was over. My dad and mom were just talking about the race, nothing so specific in the conversation, just a repeat of my conversation with Mom this afternoon.

Now that I'm back in my room, I'm still stuck with the idea of deciding on the title of my novel. Time kept going but, I was still confused to determine the title, I decided to play hp for a while.

I opened the WA application, Aithan made a story, I saw it and it turned out to be only the female character of his target, he made the story with the caption 'FINALLYAA MY WIFE PULANGG' Well... Aithan.

After almost 1 hour of not finding an idea to define the title, I finally tried to write the prologue alone.

At 21:13, I've written almost 500 words, after looking at the clock, I learned to repeat today's lesson. When I finished I was ready to go to sleep. I decided to go to that race place on the weekend.
