Review 1 : Novel "Romano"



Novel “Romano”

            I forget how many novels that I have read. This is one of the novels that I have read and I can say that yeah, it was a good novel. It is “Romano”. This novel was written by Nadine Zulia Putri. It was published on June, 2013. It has an interesting plot, so you won’t feel bored when you read it. Chapter by chapter, the writer will make you curious with what will happen. The story of this novel is about the power of love that can change someone into a great person.
The main character in this novel is Nayla Jasmine Kirana. She is a student of  senior high school in Palembang. She has a boyfriend, Romano. He is an environment quality control in the biggest mine company in Papua. They have built that relationship for 3 years. They love each other. They are always together even if they are separated miles away. Day by day, they just meet in the phone , Yahoo messenger or skype. One day, Romano got an accident when he worked in the mine. His lungs were 80%  infected by poisonous gasses, but he didn’t tell Nayla about it. Without telling Nayla before, Romano went to Palembang to meet her. Nayla was surprised when there was Romano in front of her school. Romano stayed at Palembang only three days.  They spent their precious time together.
Three days had passed. Romano had to go back to Papua. If they were lucky, they could meet each other in the next year. But, something wrong happened. Romano didn’t contact Nayla. Nayla was so confused. Romano disappeared. Every day, Nayla tried to contact him, but always there was no response. After a long time without any news from Romano, finally Nayla got a call from him. Nayla was so glad, but suddenly her face turned to be sad. Romano asked Nayla to end their relationship.
After they were broken, Nayla tried her best effort to be a better person than can make Romano astonished and regret his decision to end up with her. Right after that, Nayla was graduated from her college and got the best score. But, before she was graduated, in the last semester of her college, there was a boy who tried to approach her. His name was Putra. He was the best student in that college. Finally, Nalya and Putra got a scholarship in Singapura together for a year. They lived in the same house with their foster parents. In Singapura, Nayla got a wedding invitation from Romano’s best friend. There, she met Grace, Romano’s best friend who loved Romano. Grace said that Romano couldn’t come because he wasn’t in a good condition. Nayla was shocked. She had a bad feeling about it.
Soon after that, Romano’s sister told Nayla that Romano wanted to meet her. But now, Romano was in Japan to have medical treatment. As soon as possible, Nayla went to Japan. When she arrived there, she was shocked. She saw Romano lay on the bed weakly. She cried. All this time she didn’t know that Romano was seriously ill. Then, they had time to talk, just the two of them. Romano told her that he never told her about his condition because he didn’t want her to think about him all the time. He was afraid if his condition would derange her life. He was so glad to see her in her undergraduate ceremony, but not in her postgraduate ceremony. He also told her not to be gloomy because of him. He asked Nayla to keep on being cheerful. So, she could reach her dream. Nayla agreed with him. She promised that she would always be cheerful and show him that she could be a great person.
After that meeting, Romano died. Nayla was absolutely sad. But, there was Putra besides her. So, she could be cheerful soon. Now, Nayla worked in a mine company in Papua. She also got married with Putra and lived happily. As you know, Nayla still kept her love to Romano although just a little. She couldn’t forget him thoroughly. Fortunately, Putra could accept it because he did love her.
I suggest you to read this novel. The story is so heartwarming. It will give you a certain impression that you can’t forget. It tells how the power of true love can change a person into a great one. It also teaches us how to love and believe each other even there is a distance between us. A true love never lies. It can stay in our heart for a long time or forever.
