The Tippingback of Rania's World
Episode 110 - Rania and Romania

"When your grandparents met again, we got married. Then a major outbreak hit Europe. Your grandmother who tried to help them was expelled and considered the cause of death of hundreds or even thousands of people there." Nico ends the story.

"Truly unbelievable. The grandmother who healed them was considered a witch?" Rania's tone of voice was filled with emotion.

"Well.. Some say that one of the spell seals in your grandmother's jewelry opened without knowing why. Like there's an unknown trigger, " explains Nico. "Is it possible that the cause of this problem is also due to the evil magic seal being opened?" continued.

"This is exactly what Audrey said earlier," Rania thought.

"But did you know Grandma Esther?" ask Rania then.

"Ester? You mean Esthera? Where do you know him from?" asked Nico while opening his eyes wide. He was surprised to hear that name.

"Y-yes. Recently I accidentally met him. And he is also the owner of a Romanian history book that I borrowed in the school library" replied Rania.

"Sure he's alive? Where did you meet him? Esther was a good friend of your mother's. She is a nurse who devotes herself to the red cross of the world. That's what brought him to Indonesia" said Nico.

"It turns out... I met him in the woods near the lake. At that time I was afraid, whether he was really human or not" Rania told me again.

"Here he hides there, huh? He used to work at your school when it was just built. Then somehow, he was accused of being the murderer of one of the students there and was sentenced to death. And then he disappeared."

"Ester's grandmother is accused of murder?" reanja Rania does not believe.

"After an investigation, the question was not proven. The student had experienced severe bleeding before being taken to the UKS. But Esther hasn't come back since."

"Ah, do you know why Grandpa keeps remembering you even if everyone forgets about him?" ask Nico.

"Because I look like a young grandmother?" guess Rania.

"Well... That's also true. You are very similar to my grandmother as a teenager. It's even more similar than your mama. But, grandfather remembered you because of your name."

"my name? What's with my name? Though everyone now calls me Princess Rania, not Edlyn Rania Austeen," Rania interrupted confusedly.

"Your name means double. It can be interpreted as the beautiful Grand Empress of the Austeen Nobles. But, the word 'Rania' itself is an acronym of the word 'Romania'. It was purposely pinned in the middle of your name, so you don't forget your mother's and grandmother's hometown."

"I just found out, if the meaning is that deep," murmured Rania.

"Oh, so that's the story..." Qiandra who had been listening to their conversation on the second floor only smiled while chuckling.

...🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺...

"Well, Audrey's back home. Even though I haven't had time to talk to him again," said Rania in a tone of kexewa.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

"Yes..."

Chequek! The door to the room is open.

"Morning, Rania. Breakfast, yuk," Qiandra asked excitedly.

"Well, crazy. Did you shower on Sunday?" sahut Rania's.

In contrast to her who was still disheveled in bed, Qiandra had dressed up pretty.

"Well, what happened to Sunday?" qiandra.

"Yes.. Da... I know, duty is duty without knowing the day."

Rania dragged her body lazily from her soft and warm mattress.

"Hey! Oi! For today forget your duties. I just want to take you to breakfast together and take you to an interesting place" Qiandra said with sparkling eyes.

"interesting place? Not the mall, is it?" Rania is the laziest to the mall.

"certainly no. Now get ready, I'll wait at the dinner table."

Twenty minutes later...

"Well, just the two of us? Where's grandpa?" ask Rania.

"The grandfather had breakfast porridge in the room, after which he slept again," said Qiandra.

"Well, grandfather had just slept near dawn, anyway" Rania murmured inwardly.

All night, Grandpa told me a lot. He also knows a lot about his mother's life as a child.

"Rania, how come you're dumb? At dong's meal," scolded Qiandra.

"It's okay to have this breakfast. Recently, I really liked Indonesian cuisine. Or do you want a special menu that is cooked musliha?" qiandra continued.

"Well... It's okay, really. It's delicious too. But the more days you get the strangest."

Rania took a bowl of green bean porridge and a glass of milk.

"Despite Indonesian food being weird? You said I was always arrogant, right? Because it's too much to choose food," Qiandra said after swallowing the tub of corn she chewed.

"Have you ever lived with mom and dad since, your nature has changed, too, huh?" chirps Rania.

"Huhhhhh? Consider it so."

...🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺...

After breakfast, Qiandra invited Rania to greet the servants throughout the room and even the garden. It turned out that some of the old servants had changed. Rania did not recognize the new servants.

"Where are we going now?" ask Rania.

"The most interesting place," replied Qiandra.

The woman who had just changed her hair color to black, took Rania down the hall to the very end of the room, then stopped in front of a classic painting.

"Would you get us here?" ask Rania worried.

"You remember, didn't you, if I told you about the secret room? I'll show you this room."

Qiandra pressed the ceramics on the floor according to the pattern, until the white wall disappeared and gave rise to a door that was no less strange.

Chequek! Qiandra opened the door with a special key that was already in the duplicate.

"What do you think?"

"I really did not expect, if in this house there is a secret room gini," muttered Rania.

"That's not how much." Qiandra opened the cupboard and showed the stairs down which were quite dusty.

"The basement?" exclaim Rania shocked. He opened his eyes wide, to look at that endless passageway.

"Yes. Mikko told you about it, right?"

"No. Mikko only told me about the secret room. I don't know, if it turns out that the secret room he's referring to is a basement like this."

"Are you wondering how it was inside? This place is also a hotbed of drug production to be sold brbas and cosmetic ingredients."

"Eh, really?" Rania heard it.

"Let's go in. I've brought a flashlight for our lighting" Qiandra asked.

"You go first. I don't know the way" said Rania. He just covers up his fear and worry.

"Judek. I'm ahead of you."

Without hesitation, Qiandra set her foot on the steps. Rania followed him.

"Huh, goodbye, Rania," Qiandra inner with a faint smile.
