It is one of the books that blown my mind. It's very well written and would probably relate with a lot of people who are in their journey to find themselves. So many people are talking about it but I did not buy it until a few months ago where I read the preview on the first pages. Easy for me to see if I want to buy the book or not. When the first pages hook me right away, I don't need to think twice. This book is one of them. This contains spoiler of course. Nora, the main character, like many of us, fall into depression and decided to kill herself. But she's not dead right away. She went into a kind of limbo between life and death. In that library she met a librarian, this librarian is a kind of a guide. Our guide that probably tasked when we were born. The librarian shows her lives that she could have had if she wants to. She is so depressed and thinks that no life will makes her happy enough to live it. I can totally understand her state. I was there....
My house now is not a big house rather than the last house where I lived. The last house before I move here is so big big big house ever, was built on Dutch’s colonize. Yes, very big and located in front of main road. So crowded, so noisy, and always be target of accidents, don’t know why. But now, I live small house, maybe since 12years ago. Smaller than before, in quite place, not really far from main road, but not in front of it. So little bit quite here.
Even not a big house and there are 6 people in house, it feel so warm here. Of course smaller house with much people will make it warmer, but not because of that. it is because love hehe… we are loving each other, that makes my house feel so warm. Yeah I know, I live in Pandaan which is very very hot (and not good for vampire hehe), but when stay inside house I feel so cool and stay warm always. Is that sounds strange? Stay cool and warm in same time? Not strange for me. Feel so comfortable here.
Mom always take care of family, cook always and feed us with good and healthy foods, always listen to her kids stories, always gave us good advice, always told me something important since I am the oldest one, always listen and obey to everything that Dad says, always keep her mom save and healthy, always do the best for family. That is my mom.
Dad always watch his every kids very well, always be the first one who got worried if something happen to kids and family, even not talking as much as mom he always lead us to be in good way in life, always give us lots of money if we say “Dad, I have to buy this book, that book, many books”, dad always want his kids do the best in education and get much knowledge, such a good leader for his wife, kids, and family. That is my dad.
And my granny, even she is so loud and talking much, I know that she talking about our goodness. Not all can accept her habit, lot of people doesn’t like she talks much, it just because they doesn’t know my granny so much like me even they are her grandchild too. Getting older, and still fresh, and still active, and still loud, and still talks much, that is my granny.
Sisters, are doing good. The youngest are looks like me. the oldest are dreamer, same like me. so they both, are looks like me when I was young or now. They just follow their oldest well. They are my sisters.
And me, it’s me. and only me. The oldest daughter, the oldest grandchild. I just have to be me. and I am happy to be me, my self.
And that’s my house, people in my warm house. Really love them all.
