DRAGON CARVED JADE BRACELET
Chapter 232: WHEN YOUR RACE IS MY RACE

    "Melian ...!" a female voice called out to Melian.

    Melian immediately turned her head towards the voice she was inquiring was indeed no stranger.

    "Hi .... Princess .... How are you doing? Come, come here ..." Melian replied after knowing that it was her best friend, Princess.

    The princess immediately mingled with the children who smelled the stinging smell of sweat. Initially, of course the Princess was a bit uncomfortable with the smell of the sting. But when watching Melian who is so familiar and very enjoy mingling with children, the Princess was trying to be able to adapt.

    "This again why ...?" ask the curious princess with the crowd.

    "The plan is for the children to create a hydroelectric power plant ..." Melian replied.

    "Russia .... Very cool ..." said the Princess who is certainly more amazed.

    "This is Akbar's idea.." Melian said.

    "Where's the news ...?" ask the Princess, of course while looking for the name of the man who just called it.

    "Still in college ..." replied Melian.

    "Could this be a power plant?" ask the curious princess.

    "Do not know .... She said Akbar is a model like this. Mr. Man who had received an explanation from Akbar. The kids help. He said he could .." said Melian.

    "Great ..." said the Princess.

    "What's so great?" ask Melian.

    "This .... Plan of making this power plant .... Akbar is a genius." so said the Princess, who certainly began to praise Akbar.

    "Eh, this is Princess what event is there to Transformer Village?" ask Melian who certainly wants to know the purpose of the arrival of her best friend.

    "Search for inspiration, Mel .... In the dormitory I was so good .... Can't think ..." said the Princess to Melian.

    "Have eaten, not ...?" ask Melian.

    "Not ..." answered the Princess while holding her stomach, showing a sign of hunger.

    "Come, let's go to cafeteria .... We chat while eating" said Melian directly invite the Princess to eat.

    After Melian conveyed a message to Mr. Man, and of course also to the children who witnessed the process of making the waterwheel, Melian with the Princess to the cafeteria. They both ordered a menu, which was at once for lunch.

    "What do you want to eat?" melian asked his friend.

    "Nasi ulam .., same ice shawl mayang." replied the Princess.

    "I want a hodgepodge of Betawi just as much to drink beer pletok." Melian menu choice.

    Indeed, Kampung Transformer cafeteria is specialized in providing food typical of Jakarta. Of course, at this time such menus are difficult to find in large restaurants that spread in Jakarta. Volunteers therefore helped to rebrand the scavengers' settlements, but they intended to highlight the values of the Betawi tradition. Therefore, this cafeteria built on the edge of the Ciliwung River does serve Betawi special menus, such as soto betawi, telor crust, vegetable babanci, rice ulam, clover jengkol, etc, ice shawl mayang and beer pletok. And this menu is the main destination for tourists who visit Transformer Village. Traditional Betawi food culinary tour.

    "You're not in college today?" melian asked the Princess while enjoying her food menu.

    "My lecture is over, yes .... Just write the thesis, nih ..." replied the Princess who just finished the script.

    "Snap ..." said Melian.

    "You're good, Mel .... It's all done, just wait for graduation. Fastest graduate again .... That's it, the value is special. Cool ..." said the Princess who certainly also ngiri to Melian.

    "Makanya .... Don't date just ..." Melian sneered.

    "Because .... Who's dating ...?!" sahut Putri while pouting.

    "Eh, Mel .... The Akbar is cute, yes ..." said the Princess as she glanced at Melian.

    "You have a crush, yeah ...?" ask Melian, who certainly guessed the feelings of the Princess' heart.

    "Iih ..., what the hell ...." The princess hit Melian on the shoulder, as if unwilling to be teased like that, said to have a crush on Akbar. His face was flushed with embarrassment. Though actually in the heart of the Princess, very happy and said yes. But of course he did not dare to say the true heart. I am ashamed of Melian.

    "Eh, Mel ..., are you often with Akbar?" ask the Princess to Melian, who will certainly explore the ins and outs of Akbar.

    "Why indeed?" ask Melian. But in his heart, he began to feel that there was something from the questions asked by the Princess. Surely Melian began to be suspicious of the attitude of his best friend. Princess must be starting to have a crush on Akbar.

    "Enak yes, Mel .., can be just as Akbar continues. Even every day .... His son is smart, lectures at ITB, diligent and good." said the Princess while imagining that sitting with Akbar.

    "We're here a lot of volunteers, Put .... Not only am I the same Akbar doang .... So, yes we are familiar with everything ..." said Melian who certainly avoids being accused of just the same Akbar alone. Although actually, in my heart Melian began to feel happy if she could be alone with Akbar.

    "Yes .., who knows .... You two are both here ..." said the Princess again, who was still trying to spy on Akbar with Melian. Of course, the Princess wants to know if Akbar already has a girl or not.

    "Princess .... You're how Akbar keeps going, anyway .... Princess has a crush, yeah ...?" melian asked the Princess, who would have started to be suspicious of her best friend.

    "Because .... What, anyway ...? Just the name is doang ..." said the Princess who immediately pretended just a nanya. Though, in her heart Princess, it was indeed a question from Melian like that was what she expected. At least let me get a response from his best friend.

    "Out ..., from earlier that Akbar talked about only .... Usually if you talk about it, it will mean something ..." said Melian who was actually also annoyed with the attitude of the Princess who talked about Akbar continuously. Because in his own heart Melian actually just brushed Akbar's face.

    "Geez, Melian .... His name is just a nice guy, a pinter guy, a handsome guy .... It is only natural that many people are talking about ...? Especially girls .... Must be interested in Akbar ..." said the Princess who gave an explanation.

    It is undeniable, whose name is a handsome guy, good and smart, certainly many like, many have a crush. At least happy to be close to Akbar. Even in the Transformer Village alone, it was not only the children who were close to Akbar. Not only are the fathers happy to be taught to make the right technology. Even the mothers, if told to gather, and know will be taught to make skills by Akbar, then no one is late, all of them gathered, all came, even if only just to meet Akbar.

    "Honestly, Princess .... Answer my question .... You have a crush on Akbar ...?" asked Melian, of course with very heavy words expressed. Because actually Melian himself will only be willing to start an approach to Akbar.

    Princesses silent. But his lips that look moving, it is undeniable that the Princess does put a taste towards the man named Akbar. The event had already happened while riding clothes with Akbar from his campus to the Kampung Transformer. But for a woman, it is certainly not worth revealing it. Moreover, not necessarily the man he was expecting was willing with him. So even though the Princess really has a crush, she is unlikely to want to say yes.

    "It seems, according to my guess .., Melian who has a crush on Akbar .... Isn't that right ...?" The princess did not answer Melian's question, but instead reversed the words to trap Melian.

    "Iih .., it's good ..." said Melian, but her delicate white face had turned red. Signs of love had already begun to appear in his heart. But actually, just like the Princess, even if Melian began to have a taste with Akbar, it would not be conveyed to the Princess.

    The two men were silent. Each plays his tablespoon. Pretending to enjoy the food, but his wishful thinking drifted away. Although invisible, but their minds are the same, which is to imagine Akbar.

    The heart of the Princess says a secret hidden, "Melian .., if you can witness my heart, if you know my feelings .... Right now I'm actually really expecting Akbar's presence."

    Likewise stored in the mind of Melian, who said the same thing, "Daughter .., I am currently thinking about Akbar .... My feeling is not because if you always mention the name Akbar. Do you not know my heart ...?"

    The two women who were friendly with each other, apparently had the same feeling, namely both have a crush on one man who was able to tempt his heart.

    "Melian .., I said go home first, yes .... The plan is to go to college, want to find a reference to my script in the library ..." said the Princess who had spent her lunch in the cafeteria with Melian, and of course was satisfied chatting to pour out her feelings.

    "Would you like to go home now ...? Not later ...? Didn't wait for Akbar to come?" Melian still had time to tease, but in her heart, she was very happy that the Princess soon passed from her village. Stat least will not meet with Akbar.

    "What time is Akabar coming home?" ask the princess who stopped.

    Of course Melian was shocked when she saw the Princess flipping and asked Akbar for his return. Then he said, "Don't know, Princess .... Bandung is far .... It's almost a hundred and sixty kilos .... The journey is two and a half hours .... He wants to go home to Ciliwung or to his hostels, or stay where, or want to go home, I don't know, Putri .... My figure was told to take care of someone else's business .... Shame, is .." replied Melian who certainly also hopes that the Princess does not come again.

    "Yes .., greet Akbar ..." said the Princess who stepped back from the cafeteria and headed to the main gate. Most will take a taxi.

    "Yes .... I will later say .... But not with words of love, right ...?" seductive Melian.

    "Love to you ...!" shouting Princess.

    "Truly, nich ...?!" tease Melian again.

    The princess did not answer. Of course with a red face to hide shame. He went straight into a taxi that was a lot of swing in front of Kampung Transformer. Leaving the village with a love that has not yet been expressed.
