This Novel needs the best imagination and fiction idea to be read. There are two reasons. The first reason isn’t the theme fits with this era. The second is it has been written of someone who has high imagination.

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Marisa who was upset because her parents’ forced her to come for her father’s company birthday. The main reason she didn’t want to come because she would meet her ex-boyfriend, Michael with his new girlfriend, Selina who was her sworn enemy. Frustrated by the situation, Marisa was crying in front of a painting, and muttering if only she could disappear. And she was right - completely disappeared. She was thrown back in time 20 years ago. When she hasn’t yet born and her parents weren’t dating.
 
Together with Wiliam, small children whom she met in the past, by its conclusion, she could return to 7 days from the day when the magical paintings on display for the first time. Wiliam was a stubborn and closed boy. His parents had died because of car accident. Even so, Wlliam was a smart kid for his age. At the age of eight, Wiliam was sitting in 4th grade. He lived with his busy aunt. This boy really hasn’t sensed of humor, but over time Wiliam melted with Marissa. Every day they went along. Every morning Marissa drove Wiliam to go to private lessons. Then, she went off to college of her father and mother to check on them.

 After Wiliam has completed of the private lessons, they both ate the side of the road, or even just walking around. Those days also she used to knit relationship parents who have no relationship to love each other. July 6th, 1988, Albatross Building opened. Marissa intended to return to the building to see the painting that had brought her to this year. She met her young father and hugged him for the last time she was in that day. Diana who saw it was angry, thinking that Ferry affair, but Marissa would be their children. Then, Diana left Marissa and Ferry. It would make contact with each other. They broke up and that means they wouldn’t marry, and Marissa wouldn’t going to be born into the world. Marissa who was telling all of it to Wiliam suddenly felt cold and weak to stand up and have not fainted when William took her to the bed. Wiliam was holding her forehead and hands. Marissa was getting colder, but the air in the room was very hot. Immediately, Wiliam ran to Ferry’s house. He told Ferry that Ferry would have to say his true feelings about Diana. Feel advised by a child, Ferry had his motorbike and went to Diana’s home. Initially, Diana did not want to meet Ferry. However, Diana's father pleaded with her and Diana was willing to meet with Ferry. Eventually, they become a couple, again. Marissa had already looked healthier. Before going into the actual, Marissa and Wiliam were playing together on the beach. They parted ways for a while. 

Marissa back to her time and found the painting was gone. She met Michael and Selina. However, she didn’t hate them anymore. Marissa hugged her parents. After that, she headed for the dining room to do anything she likes best, eating. Someone forbade her to eat and Marisa saw him - handsome, tall, and familiar. Marissa recognized that eyes. He was William. First, Marisa was ten years older than Wiliam. Now, Wiliam is 10 years older than Marisa

The best part of this story is Marisa meet Wiliam in this early time. It makes me surprise because the story is still contact from the beginning to the end. I had bought this book once, but I have been reading this book a lot until now. Another romantic story is the letter from Ferry to Diana. It was written like this:

“If you want to spend a dinner with me, then I promise to spend 36.000 dinners with you”

It mean: If Diana want spend 1 dinner with Ferry, then Ferry will spend 100 years (= 36.000: 360) with Diana.

The weak of this novel is the place isn’t being mention. We can’t imagine where the place exactly. In this novel, there are some mistakes – for examples:
11.      (Page 47) Jummy        : it should be Jimmy
22.      (Page 48) William       : it should be Wiliam

I recommendation you to read this novel because the story is fun and it’s not a thick book to be read.
