The Princess' days became quiet. Disappointments that come on end, causing his life to become uninspired. As a result, the Princess's eating and sleeping were not controlled. The princess eats. Even breakfast was tidal again. In the past, when there was Melian, every morning always breakfast together. Whatever Melian provided, the Princess immediately ate it. Likewise, what kind of food did the Princess, who bought her outside the dorm, when they ate with Melian, the two of them must have enjoyed the food happily. So for sure, their health condition is very awake.
But now, everything is gone. When yesterday was able to have fun with Wijaya, it was just a pseudo-pleasure that had ruined his life. Pleasure that only incites lust. And at this time, the Princess had to swallow the life bitter pill. Therefore, the Princess' body has now become weak and lacking in energy.
"Princess .... It's Mama, Son ..." Princess's mother called from her hometown in Manado.
"Yes, Ma ..." replied the less passionate Princess.
"Why ngana, Princess? Why no passion? How sick?" ask mama.
"Yes, Ma .." answered the Princess who was heard from her voice she was not healthy.
"Huh ...?! Then Mama's tomorrow to Jakarta ...!" his mother said she was very worried.
"It doesn't matter, Ma .... Princess is fine ..." replied the Princess who does not want to be visited by her parents.
"Sickness, Princess .... Mama's worried ....!" sahut his mother who is certainly very thoughtful with the condition of his son.
*******
That morning, it was still too early, his mother Putri had departed from Manado to Jakarta. With a direct flight for three hours and ten minutes, about ten hours Princess has arrived in Jakarta. Then he immediately rented a car, to deliver himself, with the main purpose to the student dormitory, where the Princess is located.
The streets of Jakarta are still blistering. There is no empty road. All full vehicles. The road is losing fast cars to people who walk. But that's the hallmark of a metropolitan city.
Almost about an hour, finally the car carrying the mother Princess entered the student dormitory, where the Princess lived. Then her mother went to the lobby room, to meet security officers in the dormitory. Meanwhile the car rented by his mother Putri, parked in the dorm yard.
After communicating with the dorm guard section, her mother Princess immediately took HP. He called his son. Indeed, the rules in the guest dormitory should not enter the dorm room. Guests can only meet students in the lobby. Of course for the safety of the dormitory.
"Hello, Princess .... This is Mama in the lobby. How are you doing?" ask her mother on the phone.
"Yes, Ma .... A moment ..., I will go down ..." replied the Princess, who of course went straight out of the room and went down to the lobby to see her mother immediately.
"Mrs ....!!" after arriving at the lobby, of course immediately hit and hugged his mother.
Her mother kissed the princess. Of course the feeling of a mother, knowing that her child is experiencing problems. The body is not hot. But his son is clearly experiencing health problems. There must be something going on with his son. Then her mother wanted to know.
"Why are you, Princess ...?" ask her mother to the princess.
"Why not, Ma .... Semalem the Princess has said, I'm not okay, Ma ..." replied the Princess.
"Yes .... Uh, Melian where ...?" ask his mother, who would immediately make his son worry.
"Ih, Mama .... New dateng who asked others ..." certainly Princess protest.
"Yes, Melian is the Princess's best friend .... It's natural that Mama asks. Here, Mama brought souvenirs for you .., later Melian was given ..." said her mother again, who of course also wanted to know the news Melian.
"Yes, Ma ..." said the uninspired Princess.
"Let's eat together outside .... We're looking for fresh food. There, the snacks you put into the room, all with Melian eat with us." said his mother.
"Ma ..., Melian is no longer here ..." replied the Princess.
"Huh ...?! Why ...?! What's up ...?! Now where ...?!" ask mama.
"Melian left the dormitory .... I don't know. He did not say goodbye to me ..." replied the Princess, who of course looked down with shame and fear of her mother.
"There is a problem with the Princess, yes ...? What's the problem ...?" ask mama.
The silent princess could not explain. Afraid of being scolded by her mother. And surely if his mother knew the problem, it would be angry at him. And he would blame himself, too.
"Ma ..., Melian's been great .... He was able to make his own choice." finally the Princess was only able to answer like that, which of course was to cover up his mistake.
"No .... Mama had guessed from yesterday, surely you have a problem with Melian. What exactly happened ...?! You have to be honest with Mama ...!" his mother said that of course immediately rose blood, because her mother this Princess already considers Melian like her brother Princess.
"I'm sorry Princess, Ma .... There was a misunderstanding between us." replied the Princess who was still afraid to be honest with her mother.
"Misunderstand ...?! Misunderstand what problem ...?! Can't we forgive each other ...?! How big of a deal is this until you can kick your own best friend out? The child I already considered fit to be your brother .... Very much you, Princess ..." said her mother who certainly scolded her son.
"There's a friend of ours who lied about Melian to me. As I asked, Melian was angry at me .... And in the morning, Melian had left the room." replied the Princess who was certainly still afraid.
"Where does Melian live now? We go there .... And you have to apologize to Melian" said her mother again, who certainly forced her erroneous son to apologize. The Princess' parents are indeed good people, so she wants her child to take responsibility and must dare to apologize if guilty.
"Princess doesn't know prasis, Ma .... Just according to the stories of friends, Melian is currently living in a slum where the scavengers on the Ciliwung River, Ma .." replied the Princess who did not know the place.
"Huh ...?! Melian lives with the scavengers in the shabby sewers ...?! Outrageous of you, Princess ...!" of course the Princess immediately red face. It was like slapping his own son. Luckily the middle-aged woman was still able to hold back her emotions.
The princess grew frightened. And of course, the tissue in his hand immediately wiped the tears that began to drip.
"Come ...!! Now let's find Melian ...!! You have no humanity for your own friend ..!" his mother said the Princess who directly dragged his son's hand, headed to the car he rented.
"Bring all .... You'll have to go back to eating with Melian!" mother said.
The princess cannot escape. He could not dispute what his mother said. He just according. Which is still covered in fear and sadness. And of course, embarrassed when you have to meet Melian.
The two women mother and son had already gotten into her rental car. Car avanza color duck eggs are still very new at that time. Sit both in the middle seat.
"Where to go, Ms ...?" ask the man who drove the rental car.
"Ke bantaran Ciliwung River, sir .... In the slum where the sewers are there ..." replied the Princess who heard Melian's place from her lecturer and friends.
"Oi .... The Kampung Transformer .... Ready ..." said the driver who was running his car.
"Gubug-gubug scavengers, sir .." said the Princess again confirmed her place. For the Princess has never heard the name "Transformer Village".
"Yes, Neng .." replied the driver again who already knew what he meant. He immediately drove on the highway towards the direction of the Ciliwung bull which has now become a conversation among the driver of the tourist introduction.
Meanwhile, in the middle seat, the Princess continued to be scolded by her mother. Of course, always blame his child who is less able to control his emotions. Scolded because the Princess was considered unwilling to budge with Melian. And the most unacceptable to his mother, now Melian must live in a slum. That must be very sad.
The rental car driver finally arrived at the Ciliwung River bantara area. The car had entered the field that had been leveled. And there were already a few parked cars. There is a parking lot that arranges. Arrange the cars that come to that place.
Near the car park, there is a kind of gate made of various used goods. But very well organized. In the archway there is a curved inscription "Tranformer Village". Of course the Princess is confused. Where is strange. It's some kind of tourist spot. This is not what Kim Bo said. He hesitated. Following his mother who had gone down and of course also opened the door by the driver.
"Rightly the place is here, sir ...?" ask the princess to the driver.
"Yes, right .... This is where the scavengers camp on the banks of the Ciliwung River. If we're confused, we'll ask the parking attendant, he's a resident here" said the driver.
"Sir ..., is this really the slum of the scavengers?" ask the Princess to the parking attendant.
"Rubber, Neng .... Welcome to Transformer Village .... Please come in to look around while shopping." replied the fathers who became parking.
The princess and her mother entered the slum, of course with hesitation. Said Kim Bo, the place where the sprawling temples are not livable. But the reality that he saw, on the edge this time there was no more hump. But the houses are simple with very nice and artistic designs. There is a shelter of the wreckage. But also not shabby. This village is really beautiful. Even in that place there were many visitors in fine clothes. Definitely tourists. There is even a bule that roams around while photographing everything that is seen. Does Melian live here?
"Mr .., would like to ask .... If it's in this village, there's a guy here named Melian?" asked the Princess who was accompanied by her mother, asked one of the residents who was cutting used items in her house.
"Belg .... Neng Melian lives down there. Unique house that is a spectacle for visitors. Near the creation shop ..." replied the father who is certainly very familiar with Melian as the mover of his village.
"Thank you, sir .." said the Princess with her mother, who immediately accelerated her path to reach the house indicated by the father.
It is true as said by the father who was asked. At the end of the house there is a very unique home. Artistic and strange house. Like a mini castle inhabited by fairies. But big enough for a normal human home. The house really became the most crowded onbject of visits. Especially these tourists want to know the uniqueness of the house, and want to know the materials used to make it. Everything comes from old stuff. Even including perabor in the house, also made of used goods. The princess and her mother were amazed to see the unique house.
"Sorry, Bang .... Brother lives here?" ask the princess to one of the young men standing near the unique house.
"Yes, right .." replied the young man.
"You ask, Bang .... I know Melian ...?" ask the Princess again.
"Yes, you must know .... She's the girl who built this village .... Yes, it is assisted by students from various universities .... But ideas, ideas and the realization of all the buildings in Transformer Village is not separated from Ms. Melian. Even then there will be a plan for riverfront tourism, which has not been completed" replied the young man.
"Huh ...?! Then all this builds Melian ...?!" ask the princess. Of course now his face had turned into a frenzy. Glad to hear that news.
"Yes, Madam .... Without Ms. Melian, maybe this place is still a shabby hut. Lucky place we got a goddess's shipment from the shadow." said the young man again who boasts Melian.
"Eh, Bang .... If I want to see Melian, where is it?" ask her mother Princess who can't wait to see Melian.
"Today can't, ma'am .... I'm sorry, because Ms. Melian has been scheduled for activities in several places" replied the young man.
"Huh ...? Can't see ...? If for example we wait for him to come home can ...?" ask her mother Princess again.
"I can't answer, Ma'am .... Miss Princess could not be predicted to come and go. That's all there are a lot of reporters who have been waiting from yesterday, also can not meet" replied the young man.
"If for example I wait here, can I sleep here?" ask her mother's daughter again, who would really like to meet Melian.
"Ma .... Princess there's a lecture, Ma ...." The princess immediately protested the attitude of her mother.
"You, anyway .... Good Melian cooking like this is what you trouble .... Take a look at this .... Everyone was amazed by what Melian had created. You don't even care about it." said his mother who was certainly angry again at the Princess.
"Yes, Ma .... The princess apologized ..." said the Princess who felt increasingly guilty with Melian.
"If you want to go to college, go home first .... Mama wants to wait for Melian to come home .... Want to apologize for your mistake .... Basic ...!" her mother immediately firmly wanted to keep waiting for Melian.
"Ih ..., how did Mama do ...?! How not to love his own son ...." The princess was wilting, who was certainly somewhat disappointed by her mother's attitude.
"If the Princess does not want to apologize to Melian, then Mama will represent you .... That sin, Put ...!" her mother is getting angry.
"Yes, Ma ..." Finally, the Princess could do nothing more. He had to accompany his mother to wait for Melian to arrive. This is the result of a mistake that must be immediately redeemed, namely by apologizing.
Hopefully the visit of his parents can parse some of the problems.
