Novel & Cerita Novel Shop

It was a section of the library dedicated entirely to novels, a vast treasure trove of fiction from around the world. Ashley's eyes sparkled with anticipation as she took in the towering shelves, each one packed with row upon row of novels. The smell of old leather-bound books mixed with the faint scent of the underground air, creating a unique atmosphere that felt like a secret garden of stories waiting to be explored.

Avery realized that these people could live peacefully together when there were no benefits to be had. She came across an online novel by chance and browsed through it a few times. She wasn't too interested in tombs being stolen. Then one day she went to the bookstore to look up information and suddenly found the online novel on the bookstore's best-seller shelf, in the most conspicuous position.

The shops and cafes that usually provided a haven of warmth and refuge were mostly closed, their proprietors probably enjoying the rare break from the constant hustle and bustle of the town. In one of the few open storefronts, a quaint little bookshop nestled between a florist and a bakery, a small group of people huddled together for warmth and company. The cozy shop was filled with hushed whispers and the sound of rain pattering against the window panes. The shelves were lined with books of every genre, from romance to sci-fi, all illuminated by the warm glow of the store's many lamps. The air was thick with the aroma of coffee and freshly baked bread from the bakery next door.

I was starting to lose hope that maybe I'm just meant to be thrown and left out. However, a specific store caught my eye. Covered in oakwood, with a bright white written above its door "Verna Malita". It has vintage magazines and newspapers displayed from the outside. "Well, I might as well give you a try," I said to myself as I walked limply towards the shop.

For the first time, Cathedra had someone who didn't cringe every time she opened her mouth to speak. So this is what having a friend feels like, huh? Cathedra thought to herself. One lunch break, while waiting for Diane underneath the tree, Cathedra was scribbling a draft of her first novel in her notebook. The novel contained the scenes she saw in the storybook, back in her kindergarten days. Since that day at kindergarten, she didn't tell anyone what she saw in the storybooks anymore. The thought of seeing things that other people couldn't still terrified her but she tried hard not to think about it by avoiding any book she can see other than school books and textbooks.

Noel smiled and silently uttered. "By then, I will wait." *** That night, as usual, Noel opened up his library in a random and hidden place, where it was reserved for only those with adventurous soul. While waiting, he read some new books that he bought from online shopping. Due to his interest in online shopping, or, to be precise, addiction, he bought a dozen boxes of books, all just to fill his collection. When the gremlins knew about that, they almost scolded him but then he said,

They came for the charm, I guessed. Two weeks later, I was still here. I was working at The Novel Grind, a bookshop that also sold coffee. Even better, I got the small apartment upstairs. My new boss used it for storage for years, so it was a mess of boxes. Still, it was mine. I loved it.

I suggested to Nana Clara that a lounge area where people can relax and read will also be nice and people enjoyed the new part of the shop. We always had a few customers buying references before, but today, some even bought novels and magazines which were stacked on the shelves for months as per Nana Clara. The lounge was a big help, and it turned the store into a homey and relaxing place. “He’s such a lovely man. You are lucky, Layla,” Karen, my new workmate, nudged my side. In the last few weeks Nana Clara had been in and out of the hospital because of her heart problem. She was forced to hire another help because of this.

They had always been able to maintain the innocence of their bond, but it was couples like Asha and Young that added a little kindling and a lot of reminders as to why those moments were so important. As Young stacked the mountain of books on the counter, the older woman rang them up while the man gently bagged them in their custom tote bags. Young was surprised to find that the actual name of the shop was ‘Book Haven.’ It came extremely close to Asha’s description of ‘book nook.’ “Find everything alright?” she asked. Young paused his unloading to watch Asha’s face light up like the sky on 4th of July. “Yes! It was so hard for me to pick just a few,” she excitedly relayed.
