DRAGON CARVED JADE BRACELET
Chapter 192: THE IMPUDENT TAXI DRIVER

    That night was too late, when Melian and the Princess came home from the streets in Monas. After getting into the taxi and delivering his destination, the taxi drove out of the parking lot. Then down Majapahit Street and continue to Jalan Gajahmada. next turn to the left. It should be towards Karawaci.

    "Kok didn't take the toll, sir ...?!" ask the daughter to the taxi driver. Of course because he still remembers, earlier when leaving his taxi through the toll.

    "It's night, through town it's deserted .... If the toll is expensive." replied the taxi driver, who seemed not to be dictated by his passengers.

    "But it is actually through the toll of the fare we pay ..." said the Princess again, who is certainly a bit disappointed.

    "Yes, Sir .... If you pass the toll can be faster ..." overwrite Melian.

    The taxi driver did not answer. It even pretends not to sting people. Finally Putri and Melian resigned with the desire of the taxi driver. Even if it is a bit slow, at least the difference is about ten to fifteen minutes. But what was clearly different was the distance. Because the taxi argo, then pay it based on the round argo that calculates the mileage. The farther the distance, the more expensive the passenger has to pay. Well, surely the reason for the cost to be paid is this then the taxi driver prefers to pass the road across the city. At the very least, this driver will be able to an additional twenty to fifty thousand. A lot of money at that time.

    Indeed, it is well known, many taxi drivers in Jakarta are naughty, namely by circling through a long road, with the aim that the argo meter can be far away. Then the cost will be high. Especially if the passengers are people from areas that do not know Jakarta. That's the easy target of those rogue taxi drivers.

    "Mel ..., it seems we are playing around with the driver ..." whispered the Princess in Melian's ear.

    "Just let's just ...." Melian whispered back to the Princess' ear.

    "I'm afraid, Mel ..." whispered the princess again, who was certainly worried.

    "We're wearing argo, aren't we, sir?" melian asked the driver.

    "Yes .... It was the agreement to use the argo." replied the driver, who when going up had agreed that the taxi uses argo, not charter or wholesale.

    "okay .... Just making sure, sir .... Who knows forget ..." said Melian again who looked calm.

    "If you have asked argo yes calculated using argo .... Don't try to change your mind" said the driver in a slightly stiff tone. There must be something.

    "No, Sir .... I just make sure .... I think so too .... If you have used argo, yes we will pay it according to the fare stated on the argo meter ...." Melian still insists to the driver.

    In the passenger seat, the Princess who was starting to worry, her hand was already holding Melian's arm. The princess is starting to get scared. What is clear is that there is something strange about the driver. Maybe the taxi driver was deliberately circling around looking for a long distance. Yes, as expected, it will definitely increase the distance to pay it more.

    "Mel ..., what feeling has not been so long, yes ...?" The princess whispered in Melian's ear.

    "Yes .... This driver wants to take us.." replied Melin who also whispered in the ears of the Princess.

    "Terus ..., how ...?!" The princess was confused.

    "Just calm down .... Ndak pawci .... What matters is we get to the dorm. Now just enjoy our night trip from the cab." replied Melian.

    "Yes .... Please take care of me, Mel .... I'm afraid." said the Princess who then pretended to sit quietly while watching the scenery outside. But the real Princess was afraid, had a sense of calm because she was next to Melian. At least if anything happens later, Melian can definitely cope. Let alone the taxi driver alone, brandal six people all.

    Melian also realized that the taxi driver was trying to go around in circles distancing the trip. Of course later pay it according to argo will be expensive.

    "Rpa .... This is the wrong way .... His message was to take a turn to the left. Cook it to the right .." said Melian protesting the cab driver who was driving it.

    "That's it, just shut up ...! What matters is until ...!" the driver was a little irritated when reminded of Melian.

    "But too far and for too long, sir .." said Melian again.

    "That nyopir is me ...! It's looking for the fastest way. I already know the place ...!!" the taxi driver nodded. Of course he felt that his passengers might know they were going to be bullied.

    "The problem is that if you run this way, you can get to the dormitory in the morning ..." said Melian who tried to tell him that the driver was wrong way.

    "Karawaci is far away .... Yes definitely old ...!" say the driver again with a tone of emotion.

    "So it was told by toll, you don't want to .." Melian denied.

    "That's it, silence ...!! Don't bother the nyopir ...!!" the driver did not want to be denied, of course, he still wanted to earn more income in a way that is not right.

    Melian who felt he would be bullied by the taxi driver, and of course had been reminded, but the driver still wanted to cheat in search of a windfall. It made Melian angry too. Especially to meet people who are not right who have been warned still ngeyel and do not want to change to do good.

    "Daughter ..., here, put your head on my shoulder ..." Melian said to her friend. Princess according to him. Because he had indeed resigned his safety to Melian, who he knew silat.

    I don't know what Melian would do, he asked the Princess to lean on his shoulder. Like the princess was sleepy and told to sleep on Melian's shoulders. But suddenly, Melian's fingers had broken some strands of Princess's hair that was quite long. And no matter where the wushu technique came from, the Princess' naturally soft hair was suddenly splintered by Melian's hands, it had already turned stiff like a long, small lotus. And the hair is already moving to the red numbers on the argometer. And that argo meter had already turned to zero.

    "Sir Driver .... If the way to find sustenance like this, you cannot support your family. You will lose ..." said Melian tried again to advise the taxi driver.

    "I know it .... The father wants to cheat us by keeping the trip away, let us pay dearly, right ...? I tell you yes, Mr .... Even if you are a princess around Jakarta until tomorrow morning, you will not get money .... That's not a blessing .... The Almighty is omniscient ..." said Melian who now replaces the obnoxious taxi driver.

    "Deg ...!!"

    Hearing Melian's words, the taxi driver immediately turned his head down, towards the argo meter. Of course he was very surprised to see the number contained in the meter diargo pointing at the number zero all. It means no fare is out.

    "Ciiiittt ............!!!"

    In a slightly dark place, the taxi driver immediately braked his car suddenly. It stopped suddenly. Lucky Princess was already hugged by Melian, so it did not jerk and fall. Melian who had considered it would happen, then she was prepared. Precisely the driver himself is shocked and his head certainly hit the steering wheel. He grimaced in pain.

    "Basic brash women ..!!!" the taxi driver immediately turned his body, clenched his hands and tried to hit the passenger.

    "Blakkght ...!!"

    But the hand of the taxi driver who tried to hit it turned out to hit the seat next to him. Although the seat was soft, but in reality he grimaced in pain, holding his hand which had just hit the seat.

    Unfortunately, the driver was apparently unconscious and not deterred. He grabbed things under his seat. Turns out the taxi driver was holding a dagger. He pointed the dagger at Princess and Melian.

    "Send all your belongings ...!!! Otherwise ..., I will kill you ...!!!" the taxi driver threatened.

    "Sorry, Mr .... I remind you once again, look for halal sustenance, in the right way ..." said Melian still had time to remind.

    "Where is the wallet ...?!!!! Hand over the bag, quickly ...!!!! Are you asking to be raped ...!!!" again the taxi driver threatened again and had brought his dagger closer to the face of the frightened Princess.

    Of course the Princess was very scared of being threatened with that dagger. His two hands tightly held Melian's arms. At that time, Melian's legs suddenly shot kicking right in the mouth of the taxi driver's heart that was interrupted between the two front seats.

    "Dueeesss .....! Bugh ....!" the taxi driver was crashing under the front dashboard of the sopiran left side seat. Fainted helplessly.

    "Daughter ..., you can drive, right? Let's pick up this cab." said Melian told the Princess.

    "But I don't memorize the way ..." said the Princess.

    "Mildly .., arrived at a bright and crowded place. We'll find a taxi there." Melian replied.

    "Yes, right .... Anyway we'll find a taxi, yeah .... Okay, ready ..." said the Princess who immediately moved to the sopiran. Then turn on the engine and drive straight away.

    "Just calm down, Put .... Don't worry. The driver just fainted. Later a little more will be aware" said Melian who certainly wants to calm her friend, who should be afraid of anything happening with the taxi driver who curled up under the dashboard.

    The princess is quite speeding, of course, afraid that the driver will soon realize. Then just for a moment, he had arrived at a crossroad that was still quite crowded. Coincidentally, there were several taxis there. He pulled over the taxi he was driving. The two of them, Princess and Melian came down. And go straight to the taxi stand at the crossroad.

    "Taxi, sir .." said Melian giving aba a taxi message.

    "Ready, Neng .... Where are you going?" ask one of the drivers who went straight to his cab and opened the door for his passengers.

    "Hope student dormitory in Karawaci, sir." replied Melian who is certainly calmer when compared to the Princess who is still afraid.

    "Read More .... Lhoh, why have you taken a taxi and dropped off and kept changing another taxi ...? It's close." asked the driver who was certainly confused.

    "The driver of the taxi was sick, sir .." Melian replied casually.

    "Ooo .... Yes, his name is also day work night .... If the body is not fit, it is easy to get sick. Neng-neng is a student there ...?" ask the taxi driver again.

    "Rubber, sir .." replied the Princess who began to speak.

    And it turns out it's not far. Only a short time the taxi was already in the dorm yard. The princess could breathe.

    "Why, Mr ...?" ask the princess who will pay the taxi fare.

    "Twenty-five thousand, Neng" replied the driver.

    "This, Mr .... The return was taken, because this should also be for the first driver, unfortunately he did not want to be paid" said the Princess who gave a sheet of fifty thousand.

    "O, yes .... Thank you, Neng ..." said the taxi driver who was certainly very happy to be tipped very large in number.

    Princess and Melian went straight into the dormitory. It's very late at night. The dormitory is very quiet. Only the security guard is on guard. As soon as they reached the room, they immediately threw down his body. I remember the fate he had just experienced. Princess feels lucky to have a friend Melian who is good at defending herself. And for Melian, she found new experiences, that it was hard to believe in people of any profession.
