12. Novella Metafosa
Recess..
Kenzo sat alone at the cafeteria table chair. Two minutes ago he was sitting alone with sleepy eyes, this was all because he took Lidia out for dinner in the middle of the night to a chicken restaurant.
"Hoaamm.." Kenzo covered his yawning mouth with the back of his hand.
"So sleepy.." He softly propped his chin glancing around the cafeteria.
There is nothing interesting here, when she was a woman she was trapped in the past. A little short story about Novella's story in her soul.
Novella Metaphosa. A beautiful high school student, cold and cruel. His sadistic mouth made several other students not want to find trouble with him. There is no student who doesn't fall in love with him, including Morgan, who is the cousin of Febbe, Kenzo's current lover.
In short, Morgan made a pact with the future sophisticated people. Making Novella's soul detached from the Body and reincarnated in the body of a northern General Palace Lady in the year 1316 of the Goguryeo Dynasty.
It was then that she married and had children, until she finally found out that all this was Morgan's own plan disguised as her husband in the glorious Goguryeo era, the imperial prince named Yoon-Sang.
Novella was disappointed, then she accidentally fell into the lake with her child and ended up reincarnating into her current body which is a middle school student named Kenzo.
His own child was already dead, because basically a soul born from the past would not be able to break through to the future. If forced, the soul will be destroyed and die, and that's what happened to his newborn child first.
Her own husband is Morgan. But Novella was determined to be who she is now, a man named Kenzo. He could not return to his original body, because it turned out that Novella's original body in the future had now been destroyed along with the piles of hospital buildings that collapsed during the big earthquake in that city.
In short, it's been a few years and now Kenzo is in high school. He had slowly forgotten what happened in the past as if it were a dream. These are all short stories from Novella's past, before he was trapped in Kenzo's body until now.
The story is also told in the first book, entitled Novella Metafosa.
"Wow!"
Aryo's scream startled Kenzo who was lost in thought.
"Could it be that you didn't startle me for once?" Kenzo pleaded with embarrassment.
"I'm sorry.. By the way, have you read the book that was viral on social media?" Aryo asked after sitting on the chair across from his desk.
"What book?" Kenzo asked.
"This book," Aryo poked at the screen of his cellphone.
"I downloaded it from the Novel app--" Censor. "This book is called Novella Metafosa. You know what? This book has just been released," explained Aryo excitedly.
Kenzo just smiled in response. 'It's a book I made a fool of, a story from my own original story.' Kenzo thought.
"And you should also know, he said that this author wrote the story from a true story himself. I also became curious who the author was, on this platform only information about the author of the book is in the form of a pen name, it's a shame." Aryo said.
"You really want to know who the author is?" Kenzo asked.
"Do you really know? I really want to know, here is the pseudonym Piano Dell Silenzio. Say it quickly and tell me!" Aryo said with passionate enthusiasm.
"If the original author only includes a pseudonym, it means that he doesn't want his identity to be exposed. We.. In fact, only readers should not be allowed to pass through the author's privacy, that's what you should know." Kenzo replied.
Aryo looked at his friend lazily. "I think you really want to tell me," Aryo snorted.
Kenzo smiled faintly.
"But Ken, I heard he said last night when Febee was staying at your friend's place last night, is it true?" Ask Arya.
Kenzo looked at him seriously, how did he know? Nobody should know about it, except for his sister Juna and... Lidia.
"How do you know?" Kenzo asked instead asking back.
"I've only heard rumors, I think they're true. But it doesn't seem possible, since you hate that girl so much." Aryo replied with a small chuckle.
"I don't hate him, I just don't like it when he's too possessive of me," Kenzo corrected.
Aryo just nodded his head as an answer whatever, besides what Kenzo said wasn't all wrong.
In the middle of their chat, Lidia came to the cafeteria alone. Seeing that Kenzo turned into a sweet smile, he waved at the girl and motioned for her to sit down at the table.
"Hey here!" Kenzo shouted.
Aryo glared and almost spat out a can of soda in his hand, he glanced the other way where it turned out that Febee was also in the canteen with his other friends.
"Ken!" Aryo whispered half-screamed.
Kenzo ignored Aryo and continued to shout at Lidia. But it looks like Lidia is pretending not to hear her voice, it looks like the girl is walking away from the canteen trying to avoid something. Kenzo was confused, he glanced at Aryo and asked what was wrong.
"What is it?" Kenzo asked.
Aryo didn't answer, he just showed something through the corner of his eye in another direction. Kenzo who followed the direction of his best friend looking for something to show, Kenzo's eyes turned to a beautiful girl who was none other than his lover.
Here Kenzo remembers something, when he first asked Febbe out on a date. Back then, when he first entered Kenzo's body, many people believed in the rumors that Kenzo used to be a gay person.
Kenzo is also clumsy and timid, effeminate and has no interest in women at all. The only girl who wants to be with him is Febee. Yes, Febe. Very strange, another girl cursing and mocking him. But Febbe, who in fact is the belle of the school, actually likes it.
That's where Novella has sense, he who is already in Kenzo's body has changed everything. Kenzo changed his appearance to be dashing and handsome, making bread torn in his stomach by exercising strenuously every day.
He also has the will to make Febee his pretend lover, and of course he receives joy from Febee herself. However, until now, Febbe didn't know if Kenzo was not the Kenzo he expected. But the body that is already owned by Novella's soul.
Therefore, when the rumors died down and disappeared, Kenzo was about to break off his senseless relationship with Febbe. But the girl refused and continued to think that Kenzo belonged to her alone, no matter the dirty words and insults that Kenzo had uttered from the past until now.
What Kenzo is currently thinking is, how can he escape from Febee? Whereas he had just touched it, grabbed his crown accidentally.
"Why is he looking at me like that?" Kenzo asked Aryo.
Aryo rubbed his face in frustration. "Are you stupid or what Ken? Of course your girl is jealous because you called another girl besides her, just accept your fate later." Arya replied.
Kenzo frowned in disbelief. 'So what?' Kenzo's monologue in heart.
He glanced again at Febee who was sitting at another table, the girl's expression seemed to be sad and angry with jealous fire with her face down playing the meatball sauce.
"Why is he like that too? Did I just hurt his feelings? But I just feel sorry for Lidia who is having a hard time finding a seat. My resolve to stay away from her is getting stronger after this, you jealousy." Kenzo muttered rolling his lazy eyes.
