The Tippingback of Rania's World
Episode 143 - The Woman Guarding the Forest
The public was again shocked by the controversial news from the Austeen family.
Just four months ago they were shocked by a drug case, a child who was switched, to a hit-and-run case that killed Princess Rania, now they are surprised by a new confession by the conglomerate family.
In front of reporters, Chloe admits that two of her servants went missing in the house a few years ago.
Gita Fitrilishia and Nurma Harisa. The two waitresses who worked in the private dresser section went missing at different times, having been caught stealing some of Chloe's expensive clothes and selling them.
Although their families continue to insist on knowing the traces of the women because there has been no news for months, but Chloe always reasoned that they fled because they were caught stealing.
Today, Chloe admits, that she accidentally trapped the two women into a secret room, and locked them there forever.
However, the secret is revealed after Rania solves all the puzzles in the house, and opens all the secret doors that are there.
Rania did not want, the case happened again in the future. And his parents took on a very great sin.
As a result of the confession, Chloe also received a fine of 2 billion for the two families of the servants, and her prison sentence added three years.
Geffie received an additional one-year prison sentence.
Although many defended Chloe and Geffie's attitude towards the cheating steward, not a few also blasphemed them. The couple's popularity plummeted instantly.
"I'm sorry, Ma, Pa. If only I hadn't unpacked the puzzle and forced Mama Papa to admit it" Rania said.
"No, Son. This is our mistake to be accounted for. We are not perfect people. But we want to improve in the rest of this age" said Geffie sage.
"Thank you for waking up Mama and Papa, son. We will serve this sentence as well as possible" Chloe said.
"But our message, study earnestly. Be a much better person than Mama and Papa" continued Chloe.
"Thank God.." said Rania relieved.
Now, there is one more mystery that makes Rania curious.
...🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺...
"You sure this is the place?" ask Arka and Felix.
"Yes. If that's the case of Rania's death, it means that the path to the left of this road leads to Grandma Esther's shelter" said Rania.
"But we've been walking for about twenty minutes and found no hut at all" Arka said.
"Maybe it's still a little bit inside again" said Rania hesitated.
"Friends, we can come too, right?"
Rania, Felix and Arka looked back.
"Oh, Mi-mikko, Valen," replied Rania clumsy.
"Of course, I can. Comewithme. Rania is blind. I know you can help" said Arka Bucket.
"Husss," muttered Rania annoyed.
"Why? You're still the same as Mikko? You unstable teenager" whispered Arka in Rania's ear.
Half-heartedly, Rania finally allows her two school friends to enter the forest to meet Grandma Esther.
"I had a photo of Grandma Esther when she was young and also just before she escaped into the forest" Mikko said as she showed some photos.
"If I bring this map of the forest," said Valen.
"Well, this seems to be more helpful than just on mobile. Where'd you guys get this stuff?" ask Felix.
"I got these pictures from the school, after asking about the nurse and also the Romanian librarian named Esthera," Mikko replied.
"He was once accused of murdering one of the students, then fleeing. Though after investigation, the allegations are not true," explained Mikko again.
"If I get this digital map from the manager of the lake," Valen said.
"Yes. We came here with the permission of the lake manager" Valen said, cutting off Rania's remarks.
"Well, if so let's continue the path," said Arka spirit.
Four hours later...
"Rania, you're not halu, are you? You actually met Grandma Esther here?" felix is exhausted.
"Yes clear, dong. I can't possibly be halu. The bracelet is proof. He gave me the bracelet" Rania said.
"But why don't we find the hut at all? Is it possible that grandmothers lived in the forest for decades? Could he only be a few months in the forest, then back to the nearest town or village?" again Felix.
"Really! There's also no photos of the hut?" sahut Valen's.
"Duh, you little mama. Just invited to go back to ketupekan. Mending, I brought Wilson and Wilbert here" said Rania.
"Let's see your watch. We walked for four hours, you know. I think we'll soon reach the top of the mountain" Mikko chirped.
"Udah starts the afternoon, here. Go down, yuk," Arka asked anyway.
"Rubber. We continue tomorrow," Valen said.
Rania pressed her lips in disapproval.
Srak! Srak!
From the east, several forest patrol teams walked towards them.
"Sister, where are you from? It's almost night, '" they asked.
"Ah, we are just forest explorers who want to meet the grandmother who lives here" Felix said plainly.
"Grandmothers? Stay here? In woods?" askthem.
"Yes" replied Felix and his friends.
"Hm... Are you sure there are grannies living in the woods? What do you want to meet him? A guts test for kamutube content?" ask the patrol team again.
"We have a need with him. She is my grandmother's little friend" replied Rania.
"What do you mean those Grannies who always wear traditional clothes? She is the grandmother of this forest guard since decades ago. He also often saves lost people."
"Yes, right." Rania nodded her head quickly.
"Oh... That grandma's home is southeast of here. Near the valley. If you go through there you can find a way out," said one of the patrol team.
"But you sure you want to see him? He has been since a year ago... Ah, anyway you better just go home," he continued.
"So how? Go home or continue," asked Felix when the patrol team was gone.
"Just continue. We've already arrived here" said Rania.
"But they said, if one year ago the grandmother had..."
"Duh, you guys are so scared. If you don't want to go let me alone," angry Rania cut off Valen's words just now.
Towards sunset, they walked towards the valley, as shown earlier.
"Where are you going?"
"Yeah....!"
The voice of the old woman who did not appear to be her form, frightened Rania and the comrades.
