Prologue
I am a script writer, maybe if the reader has occasionally visited Sankt Petersburg, of course you will find my work presented there, precisely at the Volkov Academic Theater. To me theater is the only thing that gives me life - (apart from the cost of living, but this is truly the meaning of life) -, all kinds of scripts I've written, whether it's comedy, musical, or even sarcasm that I sometimes have to deal with. the authorities, he said, because they were considered offensive to the elite, annoying.
I am thirty-five years old, an age that is considered too far if you still don't have a partner. As I said, theater is the only thing that gives me life - (apart from the cost of living, but this is really the meaning of life) - so that no girl has yet replaced what theater means to me. Maybe for another reason because I never intended to look for that girl, because of the times I was immersed in my script in order to make dialogue after dialogue interesting, I felt too futile to waste time looking for something that was not certain.
But even so, I'm still not used to writing a novel, even if it tells of my own life, the novel is more complicated than the lines of dialogue I made up for the special annual tribute to the elite I mentioned earlier— (irritable people). Because in my opinion, drama scripts are made for less-than-work people who want a mix of drama, dance and singing on stage in no more than three hours. And in my opinion, not many people want to spend a long time reading a book about 5 inches thick, even though the book could one day be filmed or dramatized on stage, and of course the content will be the same.
Regardless of my opinion about theater audiences or readers of thick novels, I don't really mean to look down on any party - (this is purely my opinion) -, I intend to find other reasons that make me more confident in realizing this plan, even though I know, very few people who want for hours reading or listening to your life story, while you are not someone who is famous or known to many people.
Because even though my work has been presented many times on grand theater stages, even though my work has gone through and re-presented by artists from all over the world, still no one in the audience cares who wrote the script of the story, usually whose name will shine. it's just the actors, the producer, and the director, just like the movies you watch occasionally with your family, friends, or alone in the cinema. Absolutely no one would care about the scriptwriter, at all.
The only creature that really knows me now is a cat, his name is Bokav, who always accompanies me, usually when I'm writing scripts in my imaginary room - (another word for an office for an artist) -, or just accompanying me to play video games and watch. television at a time when my brain no longer wanted to compromise to continue script writing.
Maybe most people will take the side of making dogs as pets rather than cats because cats seem like animals that don't really care about their owners, rather than dogs that are known for their loyal nature. However, I would not reason with mentioning my beliefs - (too privacy for me to discuss it) -, more than that because of the doctrine that was instilled by my mother and father when I was little that dogs are creepy animals.
Dear readers, I think by now you will be wondering why this mysterious - (maybe just my assumption) - artist, who has presented his work at the Volkov Academic Theater, calls his parents mother and father. Yes, because in fact, even though my adulthood was filled by the tenderness of the city of Sankt Petersburg, I was still a runny boy who often reflected on the edge of Lake Maninjau. Yes, that's where I came from, the origin of which will give birth to the amazing story in this book.
Apart from the classic reasons for this amazing story, what made me determined to continue this writing was because of my desire to try new challenges. It feels too boring if all I keep doing is writing works to watch, while my specialty is writing, which should not only be watched but also read, so I want to experiment with how far my writing skills have developed.
Luckily I still have boxes of paper that started to be useless after the technology boom. Where now I no longer need to walk around sending scripts to the director and actors, just send e-mails and my work is finished only from the back.
The table of imagination— (another word for an artist's desk) —I. Instead of leaving it dusty and rats damaged, I better use it to start making a book that might provide a valuable and amazing adventure for you, a great reader.
I think it would be too naive to write down my reasons too long, but I hope readers will discover the meaning of all my descriptive words. I love writing, because I'm a script writer, as it says on my business card.

Written the word scriptwriter under my name, as if to describe that I and writing a script are two things that cannot be separated, are related to each other. It would be bland if there wasn't a word scriptwriter there, because I'm the best scriptwriter in Sankt Petersburg— (at least that's what I think).
And I was determined to start recording my story in this book. Dear reader, this book that you hold will take you on a new adventure how to interpret life in theatrical arts - (at least this is the science I am leaving). Through the expressions of everyone you meet, the character of each person you embrace, the body language you need to further explore, and interpret every inch of the backdrop that runs your life. I'm not going to make it look like a sad line of irony drama dialogue - (even though this is my specialty) -, but it would be more interesting if we depict every second of the scene from this story according to your improvisation, great readers. As actors often improvise my script writing— (although sometimes it looks redundant and out of line).
Because according to my view, that every article read by anyone, has its own meaning for each of the readers. It doesn't matter whether the meaning is continuous with the original meaning of the author or not. So that is why reading can make everyone create new worlds and new adventures in their minds. That's the reason I love writing.
I purposely underlined all the words to love in this chapter, because basically that word will be a big note for this story. Not because this book is the theme of romance - (I had a bad experience about this) -, but because basically it's not love that only has to deal with a pair of humans, but rather the simple meaning of love, but not everyone can make it happen.
I'm the best scriptwriter in Sankt Petersburg - (at least that's what I think), could be the whole world. Where writing a script has become something interesting and always gives interest in every nanosecond of my life. Even normal relationships with fellow human beings I care less about than enjoying hours or even weeks of my imaginary room - (another word for an artist's office) -, because I don't have to rack my brains to dialogue with other people who are not necessarily interested about my topic and myself.
My interest in writing and composing a script can be analogous to the attraction of a d**g addict to the illicit goods he loves, an addiction. But luckily writing hasn't gotten to the point of making me die and die silly.
You know, great readers. Before my addiction to the world of writing, I was once a malay boy who was born with zero interest. Yes, I was born— (people said) —with zero interest in everything, there wasn't one.
Until one by one a miracle appeared in every nanosecond of my life and made me realize that, my difference, my birth with zero interest, actually holds secrets and mysteries that I think are very interesting and inspiring for you, great readers.
My name is Basim - (I'm not interested in using my real name) -, I'm the best scriptwriter at Sankt Petersburg - (at least that's what I think). And I was born— (people said) —with zero interest in everything.
