THE LOVE ADVENTURE OF A SIDE CHARACTER

'Today pased slowly'. That is what I continuously thought for the past couple of hours. I wonder since when I've got no passion for this work anymore.

Being an orphan makes me afraid to face reality. I never once got a decent meal since orphanage doesn't always had enough food to feed us.

I often wonder around, watching people. Imagining myself living their happy life.

Sometimes I pick up a book or newspaper that rich people threw away. Seeing the fantasy world trough writing that momentarily can make me forget about the hunger I feel.

Maybe since that time I've been in love in reading fiction and wants to be an editor. But, I didn't know that this job could be so boring that it nearly kills me.

"Mariane.." I look up to a familiar face that appear in front of me.

"Yeah?" Jill, my superior, facing me with a sour look.

"Don't daydream. It is still office hour. Have you even finish reading the new draft arrive this morning?" Jill's voice wispered with a warning.

"I finished three pages. It won't sell mam." Jill seems frustrated.

"Are you seriously making a conclusion based on three pages?!" Jill glaring at me.

" Well, you taught me how to use feelings." I said

"I know you've a sharp eye and your oppinion is not yet wrong until today, but at least make an effort!!" Jill give me a heavy sigh.

"But it's so boring. Too many unimportant talk since the begining. I couldn't force myself to read it." I look at her criticizing.

"Isn't it your job to found the potential among those boring stories? I'll accept your opinion after you finish reading it." Jill said

"Alright, I'll finish reading it." painfully answering, my hands move to a stack of paper I abandoned this morning.

"Good then. I'll expect more from you." Jill left and I sigh deeply.

I stare at the damn book in my hand. The tittle was printed boldly in a blank piece of paper. 'The Rose of Barrielle House'

This fantasy novel is about a daughter of a count name Ariadna Barrielle who was known for her beauty and intelect. One day she was called to participate in the Queen selection of Erisphime Kingdom.

But, because of her stupidity (purely my oppinion), she fell in love with the kingdom prime minister instead. Her life then becomes a misserable love story that lead towards a civil war.

'This is too tipical, and boring'. I close the book, angry. What does the author think to write such a story. How could the main character be famous of being intelect if she doesn't even know that her action would kill hundreds of innocent people!

The word choices is bad, the plot is suck, and the character doesn't have charm at all. I even could write better then this author!

I throw it away and left to ease my mind.

'It's not like I'm going to reincarnate into that novel anyway. I don't have to finish reading it'

I bring my wallet and walk towards the stairs to go down. My mood has drop and I need sugar to pump it.

I just step on the third stair when suddenly my feet slip. I lost balance. Both of my hand helplessly reaching to an empty air.

The next second I know is I already start rolling down the stairs. My day couldn't be worst then this. I could hear voices scream my name. Is it that bad? Am I gonna die? Before I could properly grasp on my situation, suddenly everything goes dark.

***

My body felt heavy. I feel that all of my muscle are aching. It is so painful.

"Mariane.. Mariene.. " I heard women's voice sobbing.

"Dear, please don't cry. Mariane will be okay." It's a man voice now that talk so sweetly.

"Father is right, dear mother. Sister will be waking up soon. The doctor say so." second man voice

Gaah. So annoying. All of your voices make my pain got worse. Which hospital is this? the service here is so bad.

I can still hear the women's sobbing. How annoying. I try to open my eyes.

When the sight gradually came back to me, I can saw a magnificent ceiling of gold colour in front of me. Looks expensive. My eyebrows frown, 'who would reserve me in a vip room? and what is up with this huge bed canopy'

"Sister!! Sister, you're awake?" the second man's voice sound chearfull.

"Mariane!! Dear." the women's voice now sounds happy too.

I avert my gaze towards my right side. I first saw a bautifull women with a smooth silver hair. Her purple eyes looking at me with tears.

Second is a man in his fourty with a blonde hair and blue eyes that hold onto her.

And third is a young man with a blonde hair and light sparkling purple eyes. 'Who exactly are these people?'

"Khm. Khm. I'm sorry. But, who are you?." I hasitantly said after clearing my throat. The tree of them looking at me dumfounded.

"Oh no. How could this happened?" the women start crying loudly.

"Loren, go call a doctor" the man with blue eyes said while holding his wife tightly.

What is up with this reaction. Did I said something wrong.

"Yes Father." the man with purple eye nod and soon walk away.

The old man gaze stuck on mine. Looking so sad while his hand still stroking the women's shoulder. Trying to comfort her.

"Mariene. Dear. Do you not remember us?"

What is he talking about? Do I supposed to know them?

"What do you mean?" I look at him annoyed.

How should I remember. I've never even met you before.

He took a deep breath. "We're your parents. Did you forget?" the women cry more loudly.

Crack. I feel a part of my brain broken. Since when do I have parents?

Blankly stare at those blue eyes, I couldn't believe what I just heard. I'm feeling dejected. Not now what to say.

Is this some kind of a television show?

"I don't have parents. Who are you?" I already took sitting position without I even realize.

"I'm Duke of Crestenhon. I'm your father."

Duke?! My father?! You must be joking!!

where is the camera? did someone play a prank on me?

I look around.

For the first time then I paid attention to my surrounding. Luxurious room. Women with a maid clothes. Men with a strange suit. Women with unfamiliar gown style and jewels.

And the most important thing is no sign of camera was found.

Feeling of panick start to arise within me.

I look at myself. I'm wearing a peach dress that looks like a dress I would wear in a party without lace and ribbon attach on it.

What is this?!

What kind of clothes I'm wearing?!!

What happened with all this family thing?!!

It is impossible. I must be dreaming. It's not real. Who are this people?

I get out of bed and run towards the door.

" Mariane!" Man's voice

It is just hospital right? This people just accidentaly enter the wrong room.

"Mariane! What are you doing?" Women's voice

The door open widely, showing me the expensive coridor with middle age architecture.

My legs felt weak and I fell on the floor.

"Where am I really?"
