    That morning, Podin after breakfast, after breakfast and his daughter-in-law after Maya finished copying her baby, and also finished giving breast milk to her baby, podin prepared to head to the place of the king, which had been promised by Podin to Maya.

    Indeed, Maya was not able to care for even talking her own baby.Then she immediately asked that Podin immediately bring the baby to be given to the king. Maya asks Podin to have her nay delivered to the royal palace, to be cared for by ladies and ladies, to be cared for by the royal aides in the palace. And of course, for Maya, will return home with abundant wealth.

    "Where is the baby ready? I'm going to put the baby in this crib, so he doesn't fall, so he's safe, and he's safe to get to his destination." said Podin who had asked the baby to be placed on the baby basket which will soon be taken up into his car.

    "Bang .., I'm in ..." said Maya, who wanted to go with Podin to take the baby to the royal palace.

    "Where are you going?" ask Podin to Maya.

    "Yes, come to the royal palace .... To where you want to give our baby." answered Maya who of course she wants to know the place.

    "Okay, Maya .... Don't have to. Repot later .... I was the only one who went to bring this baby. I feel sorry to see you, Maya. I'm worried about you. Maya is still sick .... Your condition has not recovered .... You are still breathing, and of course you are still soy sauce. Maya will get sick. I feel sorry for you, Maya .., if you go there. Because the place is very far away, even have to take a boat and cross the sea." so said Podin to his wife, of course, he did not want his wife to know what would be done by him when presenting his baby to the king.

    "But .., Bang ..., I want to understand .... I wanted to come, Bang." so whining Maya that she really wanted to know where the kingdom was where the king would receive his baby.

    "Yes ..., Maya .... You are at home .... Wait for you at home .., tomorrow surely you have come back here again, and of course tomorrow you will bring a lot of money, jewelry of wealth given by the king, and of course you will bring a lot of money, instead of our son whom we leave to the king." so said Podin who of course he did not want his wife to go with him to a place that had been kept secret.

    "Stingy gate .... Maya also wants a picnic with Brother .... Want to understand the workplace, want to understand the palace where the good king is located, Bang ..." so said the Maya who of course he wanted if he was invited to the place of the royal palace. For sure he wants to know a magnificent place, a beautiful palace, a kingdom that must be very amazing.

    "Are you not going to be exhausted? You have given birth .... Your health has not been restored, Maya .." said Podin who of course also worried that his wife came with him.

    "No, Bang .... Its alright. Maya is strong. Maya can, really .... At least Maya will be able to help Brother, if the baby cries, Maya can hold it, Maya can give ASI, Bang. So, Maya will be able to come with Brother while taking care of this baby, Bang, so that this baby does not fall, so that this baby also does not cry continuously if hungry." so said Maya who certainly really wanted to come with her husband to give up the baby, she said, who will be taken to the royal palace which he said will get a change of money and wealth from the king who will receive his son.

     "But the place is far away .... The journey is very long, can reach there in the afternoon. Even until later at night. And to hand over to the king, waiting until midnight .." so Podin said to his wife.

     "Say that at night the place is closed .... Why does Bang Podin say we wait until night?" ask Maya about her husband.

    "Yes .., it is, Maya .... Later the king will come out at night, because if we want to go to the palace, from that afternoon we must have arrived there. We are told to gather, and in the palace courtyard has been presented various kinds of entertainment. But the royal ponggawa will only open his palace, will open the door in the middle of the night. Because the king will come out at midnight. And while the people who arrived at the palace, to wait for midnight, they could go around watching entertainment, watching the beautiful park there. Many are even joggers.  But only if we want to come there, can't be at night from here, because we also have to wait for the boat that will take us across to get to the palace." like that said Podin to his wife who of course he gave an idea to Maya, that to meet the king was not easy and not easy.

    "Indeed the place is far away, Bang?" ask Maya about her husband.

    "Yes .... So later we will go from here to the edge of the sea first .... From the beach, we will be picked up by a boatman who will take us to an island, where in the middle of the island there is a royal palace that is very magnificent and luxurious, and really very beautiful. And there, we can only enter the palace, in the middle of the night when the door of the palace was opened by the royal cavities" said Podin to his wife.

    "Lah ..., if we go into the palace it's checked, isn't it, Bang?" ask Maya who she would be curious too.

    "Yes .... Guarded place. Later we will be supervised by the royal courtiers." replied Podin.

    "I want to come along, Bang ..." whining Maya.

    "If you are brave, if Maya is strong and healthy, come .., all of you bring this baby, on my lap, if necessary while being breastfed. Continue to accompany me to drive, so do not drowsiness to come to the place" said Podin who took his wife.

    "Yes, bang .... Thank you, Bang if I'm allowed to come" Maya told Podin.

    "Yes, get changed .... We're ready, we'll be leaving soon. Because the place is far away .... If we don't leave soon, then we will be late, and of course the boatman who will take us to the island is no longer there. If there later there is no boatman, it means no one wants to take us. That means we can't get into the royal palace, and we can't give up our babies in exchange for money and wealth" Podin told his wife.

    Maya who wants to know the royal palace, who is tempted by the story of her husband who explained that the palace is very magnificent, the palace is very luxurious, the palace is very luxurious, even he said that in the palace the walls were made of gold, which was decorated with beautiful and charming gemstones, it was like Maya had come there to pick up some of the gemstones that were inside the palace.

    Once everything is ready, Podin runs his car to the promised spot, which is to the royal palace, where Podin will exchange the baby for money and wealth. Of course Maya was happy to hear the words conveyed by Podin, if later the baby will be replaced with a lot of money and abundant jewelry. Looks like Maya has been tempted by the talk of Podin. Maya was happy and always smiled in the car run by her husband. In her imagination is imagined, Maya will be a rich person.

    Maya sits in front holding her baby. He's next to Podin who drives his car. And of course Maya while rocking the baby in the baby basket, a very unique baby that was bought by Podin specifically to carry the baby. Yes, Maya always teased the baby, because according to Maya, this is the last day with her baby which will soon be handed over to the king.

    "Big boy .... Cakep child .... You'll be the king's son .... Don't be naughty, don't be fussy ..." so Maya repeatedly fondled her son. Yes, this is Maya's final fondling for her son, and she will soon be unable to see the boy again.

    "If the baby is crying, you love Asih loh, Maya .... So that the child is calm, does not cry. And of course to be healthy" said Podin while driving his car heading south on a road that climbs and meanders.

    Yes, of course, Podin will return to see a place that he has not visited for months, after he sacrificed street children he kidnapped from the crossroads. And now, after about five full moons, Podin will again present his victims in the palace of Pulau Berhala. Of course, Podin also hopes that Maya does not know with all his plans, so that Maya does not understand the secret. Maya does not know with all that she will do in the middle of the palace of Pulau Berhala.

    "It's still far away, Bang?" ask Maya about her husband. Of course because it has been a long time the car is running, but there have been no signs of stopping.

    "Still .... And this counts with a not so hasty, not speeding trip .... Later around the sun will sink in the western sky, we will get to that place" said Podin in Maya who estimated the time of travel.

    "But I'm hungry, Bang .... I want to eat. This is her ASI in the baby suckling continues ..., so I became hungry, Bang ..." so said Maya who is certainly on a very long journey, that is, he was hungry and wanted to eat.

    "Yes .... Wait a minute, we're looking for a restaurant ..." said Podin heard what Maya wanted.

    Finally, Podin turned his car into a pretty nice restaurant, and the parking lot was very spacious. Podin stopped there, then took Maya who was carrying the baby, carrying the baby basket, directly to the restaurant. They also enjoyed their lunch.

    Of course Maya is very hungry, so greedy to eat, even if only eat vegetable soup with fried shrimp peyek side dish, drink lemon ice pleasure. But it seems that Maya really enjoyed the meal. It tastes good, it tastes good. Yes, that's because Maya is hungry, so any food becomes delicious and delicious.

    Likewise with Podin, who only enjoys food with his favorite orek tempe, coupled with rendang jengkol side dishes and beef stews, a full plate of rice is spent in an instant. Drinking hot coffee. Of course because Podin was also starving after driving a half-day trip. They enjoyed lunch very much.

     After they finished eating, they finally got into the car again. Maya again held her baby in the front seat, while her right hand carried a plastic pack of orange ice. Yes, it is very delicious of course, while sucking drinks on the way. Because Maya is thirsty. Yes, the hot air along the way it makes them feel thirsty. Likewise, Podin, who was carrying two bottles of soft drinks placed on his side, drove, hoping to be easy to pick up.

    They also continued their journey. Podin returned to driving concentration on the road that is still far away. While Maya, after fullness, drowsiness disease recurred. He also fell asleep in the car.

    And now, after the sun has tilted to the west, Podin's car passed on the road that is not so broad, the,  so you have to be careful if you cross with another car that crosses from the front. Podin had memorized that path. He has come to that place many times. And of course Podin has memorized the atmosphere in the area that will be shown.

    A moment later, Podin turned his car, passing the road without asphalt, without macadam, without a hardener. Podin only passed on sandy streets overgrown with grass. Yeah, pretty much a bush. And that's where Podin stopped his car.

    "yes ..., Maya .... This place. In front of there it .... You see, there's a lush island with mangroves .... In the middle of the island we will visit. In the center of the island was a very majestic palace, a truly luxurious palace. And you will be able to see the palace, a palace that you certainly have never seen" Podin told Maya.

    "Yes, Bang .... Where do we go comfortably, brother ...?" ask maya who is certainly confused to step her foot. Understandably Maya's feet are the result of salon treatment, yes of course she will worry if until her feet are injured or blisters, exposed to bushes or pebbles in that place.

    "Not to worry .... Slowly .... Come help brother ..." said Podin who immediately held Maya's hand to help step.

    "There's no other way, Bang?" ask Maya.

    "There is no .... This is why we have to pass here, because we will go to the place of the island there, we have to wait for the boatman below. Come on, let's just go by where there's no grass." so Podin explained to Maya.

    "Jeez, Bang .... It's hard to go to a kingdom." Maya grumbled.

    "Yes, the road has to go through here .... Where's the baby ...? Let Brother take him." said Podin who then changed to bring the baby basket that had been on the bench all day by his wife.

    "Yes, Bang .... This, Bang ..." said Maya, who handed the baby over to Podin.

    Podin received the baby basket, then carried it. While the other hand, still lead Maya who looks bothered to walk across the bush.

    "I'm afraid that passing in this place my legs can be chafed, Bang ..." so said Maya who always shoot.

    "Pelan-pelan aja .... It is near its place .... Soon we'll be there." replied Podin.

    "To where, Bang?" asked Maya while looking out at the ocean.

    "It ..., there .... Any minute .... We just have to pass here a little bit" said Podin, pointing out where they were going.

    Maya followed in the footsteps of Podin. And of course, Podin patiently guided his wife, and also carefully carried her baby in the baby basket.

    "Well .... Kiya stopped here. We will wait for the boat that picks us up." said Podin who took his wife to stop at a place that is usually used to wait for the boat that will pick her up, the boat that will take her to come to the island of Berhala.

    "Where's the boat, Bang?" ask the impatient Maya. He always wanted to quickly arrive, wanted to immediately witness the majestic palace, wanted to go straight to that palace.

    "Propag .... It will come soon too. See that .., the sun will briefly sink, look orange blush and beautiful. You look that way .... From the direction of the sun, later from there will appear the boatman who will pick us up." so said Podin while pointing towards the sun which will soon sink.

    And it's true, as Podin told Maya, from behind the sun that was about to sink suddenly came a small boat run by a boatman who wore a kind of robe from top to bottom, and wearing a petal caping that closes down the neck, so that his face is not visible at all.

    "Well .., that's it .... Maya, you see? That's the boat that picked us up. The boat that will take us to the island. Let's get ready here .... Be careful not to slip. Later you fall and fall into the sea." so said Podin to his wife, who certainly invites prepare because soon the boat will come to him.

    And yes, the boatman had already arrived in front of Podin and Maya, who had been waiting for some time.

    "Let's go ...!" so shouted the boatman who had crammed his boat near the rock where Podin was standing.

    "Come, Maya .... We take this boat .... We're going to the island, which is across the street. And we will see the beauty of the palace in the middle of the island." said Podin to his wife.

    "Loh, Bang ..., how is the boat so small? What's the fit for both of us?" maya asked her husband, who certainly doubted the boat that picked her up.

    "Made ..... Let's try .... Anyway you went up. Maua went up first. After that I am the later one" said Podin who then held the hand of his wife who climbed onto the boat.

    Then Podin also went up to the boat, while carrying a basket containing the baby that he was holding. A moment later, the boat finally moved medium, and the boatman had pushed the pole to be used to run the boat. Once pushed, twice, three times, and just for a moment the boat had reached the edge of the island that was headed by Podin with Maya who brought the newborn baby.

    "Well, right ..., it's arrived .... Comeondown. We go down here, we will see the beauty of this island. So said Podin who also held the hand of Maya who came down from the boat that carried him.

    After getting off the boat, they then stepped towards the road that was already available in front of him, to head to the middle of the island.

    "Maya .., look at the moon that is emerging from beyond the eastern sky. Beautifully dazzling like a magic lamp that came out from within the earth. Look at Maya .... Beautiful isn't?" podin said while showing the full moon that was poking in the eastern sky. Yes, a truly perfect month. Big and charming round. Very bright light.

    "Yes, Bang Podin .... It's beautiful .... Wow .... It's really a miracle, Bang Podin .... It turns out that here we can see the full moon is very beautiful." so said Maya who was also fascinated to see the beauty of the full moon.

    "May .... Look .... Try to look to the left right of this road" said Podin who told his wife to watch the road he crossed.

    "Waah .., that's beautiful, Bang .... The lights are glittering, colorful, flickering .... Wow, this is really a very beautiful street with dazzling lights, Bang. This is a park, Bang?" the word Maya is certainly amazed when first entered the streets decorated with colorful lights.

    "Yes, Maya .... Look towards the middle" said Podin, pointing towards the middle, from the end of the road he was traveling.

    "What's up, Bang? How bright is the light there, Bang?" of course Maya was amazed because what was shown by Podin it leads to a place where the light is sparkling and very bright.

    "Yes .., look at that Maya. Therein lies the king's palace. The palace you wanted. Yes, now you will see it for yourself." so said Podin to his wife who of course Maya really fascinated by the beauty of the light that he saw from that distance.

    Maya is in a hurry to find out. He hurried to step, to get to the place that shone brightly. Maya is impatient.

    And finally in an instant, they arrived at the center of the palace courtyard. The courtyard was very spacious and magnificent, with marble floors and colorful lights that were here and there, which radiated from every corner. And of course, Maya was tempted by the sound of music in the palace courtyard. The boisterous sound of the sound system is certainly good. Moreover, Maya's ears are already accustomed in the karaoke room. Know the state of the music's sound.

    "Gee .... Here many people who travel, Bang ...? Why did Bang Podin never bring me here? Why is it that Bang Podin is taking me? I never brought you here before, Bang?" of course Maya protested her husband, because she was never told that there were tourist attractions that were very beautiful, very majestic and very charming.

    "Yes, Maya .... Brother does not want you to be disappointed, because if we come here we must bring a baby, bring the child given to the king. Because here the ruling king in this palace, on this island need children who will be kept in his kingdom, will be treated here." said Podin who reasoned.

    Finally, Maya was washed away in the beauty and crowds in the palace courtyard. Maya drifted with the music of prancing that sounded in the palace courtyard. And of course, Maya who was always in the entertainment world, who was always in a karaoke place, was happy again, happy again, happy, because her world was the same as the one in the palace courtyard that her husband showed her. The frenetic Maya enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere in the magnificent palace courtyard.
