DRAGON CARVED JADE BRACELET
Chapter 207: WEIRD JADE BRACELET

    While in a place far from the village of Lasem, Melian in Jakarta. Before the robbery at the Laris store.

    Melian is still in college. But these last days his feelings are disturbed either by what is bothering him. There was something strange about every step of his foot. But the most felt was the disturbance of the flashes of shadows that seemed to always pass near him. I don't know what shadow, but it actually crossed many times in front of Melian. Although every time it is sought, there are still no other people or creatures around it. Melian remained silent, unwilling to ask her friend.

    That night, as Melian was about to go to sleep, she was suddenly startled by a green glow. A kind of light from disco lamp, panned moving rotate. Melian was puzzled, what rays were already shining into her space? The window curtains are closed. What is HP light? Or from the lights outside the dormitory?

    For a moment Melian was confused looking. It turned out that the green light was sourced from the jade bracelet he was wearing on his arm. At once Melian was instantly startled, and directly covered the blanket to her arm. Closing the jade bracelet that gave off that light. Of course Melian was worried that until her friend knew that the jade bracelet she was wearing could give off light. Hence Melian immediately hid the glowing bracelet with a fold of blankets that had not been opened.

    Then Melian looked at the Princess, her roommate who slept on the bed next to her. Luckily the princess was asleep. So that no idea there was a green light that appeared in his room earlier.

    Slowly Melian looked at her jade bracelet, which she hid under the covers. There was still green light shining there. Melian then covered it up again, hiding the arm that had the jade bracelet behind the blanket.

    Melian began to ponder, thinking about what happened, what was with the jade bracelet? Although Melian already knew some things about the strange jade bracelet, but only this time the strange bracelet on her arm gave off light.

    Indeed, the jade bracelet worn by Melian had peculiarities. Among them, the jade bracelet is in the form of a dragon-shaped carving. If observed carefully, the bracelet is like a coiled dragon. It must be very difficult to make dragon carvings on a jade bracelet. The second oddity, this jade bracelet worn by Melian no one knew who had inserted it into his arm. Not even his own mother knew who was giving. The third oddity, the jade bracelet on Melian's arm could not be removed, even when Melian was a baby. His mother who tried to take off also could not. Likewise his father who was even angry at his wife because he was suspicious of the jade bracelet. Neither Juminem nor Jamil paid any heed to the jade bracelet on Melian's arm. He said that the jade bracelet was a sign of affection from his parents, so it should not be released. Jamil and Juminem are just pamomong or people who are only provided for momong Melian.

    And the strangest thing, the bracelet seemed to be alive, could develop just like the one wearing the jade bracelet, Melian. What he realized was that as a child the bracelet could not get out of his hand either. The bracelet fits right in his arm.  It means that the size of that time must have been small. But as Melian grew bigger, and her arms also grew bigger, the jade bracelet did not become claustrophobic, it still remained loose on her arms. Melian was conscious about it, but she did not think about it, knowing that the bracelet she was wearing was a will bracelet. I don't know who gave, Melian didn't know. What is clear, must be his great-grandfather, who by his mother, in this case Juminem, the pendant attached to his neck belonged to Grandma Amak who gave the house in the Dragon Village. There is indeed a strangeness of the pedigree or Melian lineage, namely the Engkong family of his father who did not see his face when photographed in the wedding of his mother and father.

    But this time, Melian again witnessed the oddity of the jade bracelet she was wearing. It can send light. This must be a sign something is going to happen. But I don't know what, Melian doesn't know yet.

    Melian remembers school in Semarang. When he first entered the temple, an old priest, the Great Priest who was in charge of the temple, passed by him, the Great Priest held Melian's arm, watching the bracelet he was wearing, and saw her, then he said that Melian was careful to keep the bracelet he was wearing.

    It is common, it is natural, it has become a habit of children or girls and women of Chinese descent wearing jewelry from jade. Especially the jade bracelet. He said jade or called "yu" pleh ancient people in China, highly appreciated by the Chinese already more than seven thousand years ago. Parents in China often give jade bracelets as gifts to their daughters as a symbol of love and protection. For the Chinese, jade is a symbol that represents virtue, mercy, courage, justice, wisdom, and humility.

    In China, jade is believed to be a living thing capable of protecting from the interference of evil forces and curing the diseases of the person wearing it. The Chinese woman believed that the jade bracelet protected her from harm. If the jade bracelet worn is broken or cracked, it is a sign that the owner will experience suffering or harm.

    Melian believed and was convinced that the jade bracelet with the dragon carvings was the legacy of her ancestors, who wanted to be used to protect her as well as guard against the interference of the evil forces that would harm her. Melian has felt it many times. Every bad person who will harm him, the fact is Melian suddenly has a great power that can defeat the bad guys.

    Now Melian thought, surely the jade bracelet that gave off the light gave a sign that there would be something. He peeked back at his jade bracelet hidden under the covers. It no longer gives off light. Melian became calm. He also went to sleep. However, Melian still covered her arm wearing the jade bracelet with a blanket. Because if one day the bracelet will emit light again, will not be known by the princess. That night, Melian fell asleep.

    In the morning, Jakarta is busy. Indeed, the nickname as the city never sleeps very precisely. Because in the morning just blind, the streets are already crowded by the residents. Melian who always woke up early, this time woke up even earlier. Unlike the Princess who is a rich child, whose house has a maid, has a driver, never holds homework, which is delicious and relaxing. Then waking up can also laze.

    Melian immediately opened the blanket that last night covered her arm. He peeked at his jade bracelet, whether it was shining or not. And it turns out it no longer gives off light like it did last night. Calm down Melian's heart. He also went straight to the bathroom. Clean yourself and take a shower. Even in the bath, the princess had not yet awakened.

    Next, after that, after changing shirts and toad pants. It's fresh and comfortable. Melian took her HP. Checking SMS and BBM. No news from his family. Just a few SMS messages from friends.

    Curious about last night's events, namely the light coming out of the jade bracelet he was wearing, then Melian immediately punched his father's number. Called father. Father and mother must have been awake, as is his habit of always getting up early and immediately taking care of homework. His mother went straight to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. His father cleaned the house. At home, Melian helps her parents every morning. Melian called her parents.

    "Hello, Sir .... What are you doing, Mr ...?" melian asked while talking to her father over the phone.

    "Regular, Nduk .... Was cleaning .... How are you, Nduk? Healthy, right ...?" replied father.

    "Who, Kang ...?! Melian, yes ...?!" Juminem, who was still busy in the kitchen, was immediately swept away when she heard her husband receive a phone call.

    "Yes .., Friday .... Melian the phone ...!" answer husband.

    Juminem must have run straight to her husband. Must want to join the phone. Talk to his son.

    "Hello, Nduk .... How are you ...? Tumben called her in the morning ...?!" juminem said on her husband's HP.

    "It's the morning of the call, what's up, Nduk ...?" asked father.

    "Just want to ask the situation of Pak-e with Mak-e .... Thank goodness everyone is healthy. There's nothing there, isn't it, Mr ...?" melian said to his father.

    "All right, Nduk .... Healthy all .... Thank you for all the good work .... Pak-e's efforts are also in demand ..." replied his father who certainly made Melian's heart so calm. There was no problem in his family.

    "Thankful, Sir .... Yes you have, Mr. ..., Mak .... I want to make breakfast first ..." said Melian who had calmed her heart.

    "Yes .... Be careful in the region yes, Nduk ..." said his father and mother, who then ended the call.

    Melian immediately made toast. Fresh bread is smeared with butter and jam, then put into an electric toaster. This tool brings the Princess. Make it easier to prepare breakfast in a hurry. It's only been out for a few minutes toast, two pieces. The bread was taken from the tool and placed on the plate.

    Next Melian took out the milk from the refrigerator. Then pour the milk into two glasses. There must be one for her and one for the princess.

    "Maye .... Uhhhhh .... Haeeemmm ...." The princess woke up, probably because she smelled the sweet smell of toast. Then yawn and squirm. Next get out of bed and go straight to the table that is available milk and toast. Accompany Melian breakfast.

    "Come, eat the bread first .... Mumpung is still warm ..." said Melian who told the Princess who had sat face to face at the table used to study.

    "Thank you, Melian ..." said the lucky princess had a friend of Melian's.

    "Return the love .... Later in college, no ...?" ask Melian.

    "There .... But noon .... Melian's in college at what time?" replied the Princess and asked.

    "There's actually a nine o'clock lecture. But this later I leave a little early, want to go to the library first." replied Melian.

    Indeed, in college, each student can have a different schedule. It usually depends on the time of registration and selection of the lecturer schedule. And in the department it is divided into two classes, to facilitate the lecture. Hence the division depends on the student when re-listing. That's why there are several courses that are not the same between Melian and Putri.

    That morning, with the warm exposure to sunlight that still releases a lot of stimulation of vitamin D production in the body, rays that can increase body immunity, rays that can prevent depression, and so on, cyanar, which can overcome skin diseases and reduce the risk of cancer, Melian walked to campus. Want to go to the library first, of course, to look for college references. But just setting his foot on the road, oa was again startled by the green light coming out of her jade bracelet. Melian hurriedly inserted her arm that had her jade bracelet in it into the pocket of the suit she was wearing. Melian didn't want anyone else to see her.

    Melian rushed into the library. There he went straight into the restroom. Well, Melian wanted to know, what really happened to that bracelet. Lucky time is still early, so the library space is not crowded. In the restroom there was no one.

    Melian went straight into one of the small rooms there. Close the door and lock it from the inside. After which, Melian pulled her left arm from the suit, observing the bracelet she was wearing. The light continued to flicker, like a fluorescent flex lamp coiled around Melian's arm.

    Melian continued to observe her strange bracelet. And the more clingy it became as it observed the bracelet, the more visible the shape of a small dragon wrapped around Melian's arm. And as if, the dragon was alive and moving around the arm. Even from the bracelet, it was as if the legs of the dragon moved to walk up to the arm of Melian wrapped around him. And a few times each round the dragon faced Melian's face, as if the dragon's head was nodding to communicate with the wearer of the bracelet. Melian looked at the dragon's face, which seemed to look sad.

    Is this dragon in sorrow? Or did something happen, so this dragon gave word? Or maybe this dragon was in confusion?

    "Tok ...! Ht ...! Hc ...!" the sound of the bathroom door being knocked on by people.

    "Who's inside ...?!" the sound of people asking questions of those in the bathroom.

    "I ...! Just a moment ...!" Melian answered from within. Instantly, the light that came out from the jade bracelet instantly dimmed and disappeared.

    Calm down Melian's mind. He opened the bathroom door and went out of it. The person waiting for him immediately entered the restroom. Thankfully, no one knew about the strangeness Melian had experienced with her jade bracelet.
