Like I said before after finished reading Summer in Seoul, I will continue to read thesecond novel of Ilana Tan. I fulfilled my promise didn’t I? Last week I went to bookstore with my friend. In the bookstore there are a complete novel of Ilana Tan. Summer in Seoul, Autumn in Paris, Winter in Tokyo and Spring in London. I confused when stood in front of those books. I confused which book that I should buy first. My friend helped me to make a decision and I decided to bought Autumn in Paris. ‘Autumn in Paris’ from the title you will think that this is a romantic story because the setting is in Paris. You also might think that the story will end happily. Is that so? Let’s see.
People said that Paris is a romantic city. Many couple come to Paris to spend the time with their partner. Maybe that is the reason why you might think that it would be a romantic and happy ending story. After arrived at home, I don’t want to waste any time to read the novel. After take a bath, I grabbed the novel and read it. There are some French language on the novel and of course I don’t understand what the meaning but luckily writer wrote the meaning below.
The story tells about a girl name Tara who lives in Paris. He lives with his father. His father is Frech and his mother is Indonesian. His mother live in Indonesia. Her parents didn’t live in the same house anymore because they both have broke up that’s why her mother live in Indonesia. Tara has made a decision to live with father. She’s a broadcaster in a famous radio station in Paris. She has a best friend name Sebastien. Sebastien is an architecture. Actually Tara fell in love with Sebastien since a long time ago but Sebastien didn’t realize it. He just consider Tara as his best friend and his sister. When Sebastien told Tara about the woman he just met or he’s falling in love with a woman, actually Tara mad at him and didn’t want to hear his story even just a little bit. Tara didn’t have any option, so she decided to hear the story but he didn’t show her enthusiasm.
One day, Sebastien introduced Tara to Tatsuya Fujisawa, his colleague from Japan. For the first time Tara didn’t interested in at all with him. Tatsuya can speak French well and can call ‘Tara’ very well. Usually people in French call her name, it will hear so strange even Sebastien can’t call her name well. She gave 8 for Tatsuya because he can call her name very well. Then she increased the score for Tatsuya because she likes the way he talked to other people, the way he welcome someone and he is very polite. Tatsuya almost reached the perfect score. Tatsuya is very mysterious man that’s why Tara being curious about this man. The next day when Tara went to a cafe, she met Tatsuya. They both looked very enjoy when chatting. Then Tatsuya asked her to be his guide to walk around Paris and Tara agree. From that moment they meet almost everyday and Tatsuya started feel comfortable with Tara and they’re closer time by time.
Tatsuya didn’t know why exactly he can feel so comfortable easily. Tatsuya is an introvert man. He won’t tell anything to other people but he can share everything to Tara. Tatsuya actually confused why did it can happen. They’re closer day by day and Tatsuya started to open his heart, he fell in love with Tara. So did Tara, she can forget Sebastien now. She just consider Sebastien as her best friend, no more. They both fell in love and they both also realized it. They love each other and Tara’s days full of Tatsuya so did Tatsuya. Tatsuya has other purpose to come to Paris. He wanted to found his father. His mother has passed away and the last wish from his mother to Tatsuya is finding his father in Paris. After searching about his father, finally he can call his father and asked him to Tatsuya . The old man didn’t know that a man who looking for him is his son. Tatsuya told about everything. Tatsuya’s mother was ever made a relationship with this man but suddenly he left Tatsuya’s mother without knowing that Tatsuya’s mother was pregnant. Hearing about that, the man very shocked and blaming his self.
When Tara and Tatsuya went to Tara’s cafe, they met with Tara’s father. Tara’s father and Tatsuya shocked. Tatsuya shocked because he was wondering what’s Tara’s father doing there and Tara’s father schocked because he also wondering why he was be with Tara. Then they both out from the café for a moment. The man told that Tara is his daughter. Tatsuya definitely very shocked because Tara is his girlfriend now. It’s so impossible to make in relationship with her little sister. After knowing it Tatsuya keep distance with Tara. Actually it hurts hisself and Tara’s. Tara didn’t know yet about the truth she also confused why Tatsuya stay away from her. She was wondering whether she did something wrong or not. Then Tatsuya decided to back to Japan. Maybe he will forget about his problem and Tara after back to Japan. One day, Tatsuya got an accident. A nurse from Japan told Tara and his fatherabout the accident and without wasting the time they went to Japan soon. Tatsuya got serious accident and Tara very sad knowing this and finally Tatsuya gone forever.
Actually before Sebastien introduced him to Tara, Tatsuya already met Tara. Tatsuya interested in Tara from the first time and when Sebastien introduced Tara to him, it was a seconf time he met Tara. He promised if he met with Tara for the third time intuitively, he would try to open his heart that’s why he asked Tara tobe his guide.
