DRAGON CARVED JADE BRACELET
Chapter 248: A WALK WITH THE LECTURER SIR

    Sunday night is a weekend that is usually awaited by busy workers. At least the workers who almost every day struggle with a lot of work and exhausting, on Sunday night that they can be refreshing.

    "What often goes for a walk on a Sunday night ?" ask the lecturer to Melian.

    "Almost never Mr .... Once upon a time, when I was still in the dorm, with the Princess. Just want to know Jakarta .... Understandably, Mr. .., we are from a village that has never been to Jakarta. That's all just going to Monas wanting to see Monas from the inside. Already .., that's all, sir." replied Melian who had never been around Jakarta.

    "Kok never take a walk, anyway ...? Usually Milian show why, if it's Sunday night?" ask the lecturer again to Melian.

    "At most, yes .., I'm with the kids here, sir. Sometimes make an event in Transformer Village. Some were dancing, some were singing, some were reading poetry, some were even pantomime. Actually the kids are here, creative-creative, sir .... Just yes indeed they are less fortunate in terms of economics, they are a lot of shortcomings in terms of finance. But actually if we are motivated, we explore the potential of children all, there are sir, many potential children. Here I am happy with the kids. They are creative, they want to be invited forward, and obviously there are actually many smart children in such a shabby place. Only bad labels stick to them, which is the scavenger's son." said Melian to the lecturer.

    "That means Melian has never seen the outside world in Jakarta?" ask the teacher back.

    "Yes, lots of activities, Mr. Endang ....Sorry, Mr .... For me to have fun with the children of these scavengers alone is already happy. I can already have fun. I was grateful. Yach .., maybe that's what it is, sir ..., my nature is not like glamour, not happy with the outside world, especially if invited to dugem. I cannot accept such lives." Melian replied.

    "Maye .... Can you ask? If not wrong, Melian is one dorm, even one room with the Princess. That's as I remember it .... But why did Melian just leave the dormitory?" ask the lecturer again which of course the question makes Melian's heart so troubled. It's hard to be honest, and it's certainly not very clear to answer.

    "Sorry, Mr .... I am a person born into a poor family. I was raised by a family that was short-lived. I was raised by a family that had difficulties in the economy. So as soon as I saw these children on the banks of the Ciliwung River, who live in these shabby huts, I was concerned, sir. I am sad, I empathize with them. If they cry, I might cry too. And I never saw them happy. That is, for some reason suddenly my heart was moved to remodel the tiles that are not habitable, the tiles that are scattered are not careless, only used cardboard that he uses as a bed, and the, it's not human, sir. I feel sorry for them. I feel sorry for the kids who don't go to school. I feel sorry for children who have no knowledge. I feel sorry for the kids who can't read and write. Yes .., it may have been my soul, sir .... And it just so happens that there are friends who support me, there are volunteers who want to help me, so my friends and I try to move these scavengers. My friends and I tried to give input and give them the skills to change their mindset. Thank God you can, sir .." replied Melian.

    While driving his car, of course Mr. Endang became more fond of Melian. A girl like Melian deserves to be with her. Mr. Endang was more amazed, and of course his heart fell deeper.

    "Continue ...? The result is how ...?" ask Mr. Endang, who actually already knows the result that the slum has now turned into a neatly organized village and produces many awards.

    "The point is that we just want to get the kids in the scavengers' homes to be more advanced, and importantly for me, these kids even though he's a scavenger, even though he was just helping his parents find junk, I wanted them to be able to read and write. They can still master science. And it turns out .., me and my friends can change. And the result is like that .... Mr. Endang has seen it as it is today." said Melian to the lecturer who sat in the car seat, of course with a very sweet smile when turning to the lecturer.

    "Wow .... Very cool Melian .... What a noble character you are. I saw a beautiful Melian like this, it turned out to have a very noble soul and personality. If only there were a thousand people like Melian, I believe this nation has become a very advanced nation. I salute Melian .... Yes .., that's why from the first time I watched Melian build this Transformer Village, I've been interested in Melian. Sorry Melian, I am a loyal admirer of you." said the lecturer while occasionally glancing at Milian as he drove his car.

    Of course Melian blushed embarrassedly flattered by her lecturer.

    "Pak Endang could have been .... That's not me, sir .... It was the work of my friends. I can't do that alone. All assisted by friends. So don't praise me like that, Mr. ..., but please praise my friends who have worked day and night to build the Transformers Village." Melian tried to evade, not wanting to get too high praise from her lecturer.

    "Ah .., not flattering .... I believe that if there is no Melian, surely this Kampung Transformer will not be realized. I believe the driver, who became the motor, who became the leader, in this Transformer Village is Melian." again the young lecturer praised Melian.

    "Sir Endang was always praising me. Sorry sir, don't praise me so high. Later I will be a proud man, sir." so said Melian.

    Melian silent blushed in embarrassment. He could only play his fingers on his lap.

    "Eh .., Melian .... Where are we going to take a walk?" ask the young lecturer to Melian.

    "I do not know Jakarta, Mr. .." Melian replied to the lecturer, who was certainly confused to determine where he would go.

    "How about we head for Ancol? There we can chat on the beach, enjoy the beauty of the sea at night, while drinking tea or drinking coffee." the young lecturer offered an alternative choice of destination to Melian.

    "I'll follow you, sir .... I don't know Jakarta. Mr. Endang who understands, surely Mr. Endang often walks in Jakarta. Aye right? said Melian who tried to look at Mr. Endang's behavior.

    "Ah .., not really, Melian .... I was in Jakarta and a newcomer. My original was from Sunda. Here I it just works. So my focus is on working. At most if I go it is looking for materials that I will use for college. Who wants a picnic with? My girlfriend has not had ..." said Mr. Endang who actually reversed his words to try ,emambapi Mellian.

    "Beyond? Lecturer all this father has not had a girlfriend?" Melian actually reversed the words conveyed by Mr. Endang. Melian can't believe that Mr. Endang doesn't have a girlfriend. But Melian's heart began to be relieved, if indeed Mr. Endang did not have a girlfriend, it means there is a chance to be close to Mr. Endang.

    "Yes .., how about Mel .... I sometimes think when God gives me a soul mate. In terms of economy, I am also well established. My job is also a teacher. Home, I have it too. But baby, I don't have a partner yet .... Well .., hopefully God gave my best mate for me." so sad Mr. Endang who actually expressed his feelings if he did not have a girlfriend.

    Melian was silent, unwilling to talk about sensitive matters. Melian is aware that she is a woman who should not indulge in words about love, about paca,r about desire, or anything said by the old people of antiquity, for women, it is taboo. Then Melian just thought, just harboring in her mind. If Mr. Endang is a suitable person with him, let the time will be to welcome him.

    After a while, Mr. Endang turned his car towards Ancol Beach. Then he parked his car under the coconut trees that are widely found on the beach Ancol.

    Next Mr. Endang opened the door. He pulled Mellian out of his car. Then invite Melian to sit in a chair that is deliberately provided by the cafes there for the visitors. Of course Mr. Endang sits in the closest place to the beach, to see the beauty of Ancol Beach.

    After Mr. Endang and Melian sat there, suddenly there was a cafe waitress girl who came to offer a menu. Mr. Endang handed Melian over to order food and drinks. Then, back to see the beach that never deserted every night.

    "Look, Melian .... This is the famous Ancol Beach in Jakarta. Next to him is Dufan. Fantasy World. Usually if Saturday and Sunday are very crowded, many visitors, many tourists, many tourists who come here to entertain themselves, refreshing, playing in the arena of games in Dufan." mr. Endang said to Melian.

    "It's a shame Mr. ..." said Melian.

    "Yes .... Milian I'll take him to Dufan sometime. Later we can ride the toys in Dufan." said Mr. Endang, who took Melian for a walk, enjoy the beauty of Ancol Beach.
