WHITE JASMINE
CHAPTER 2

Melati has arrived at Soekarno-Hatta international airport. With a shaky step he headed towards the parking lot, looking for a taxi.

Haaah. Melati breathed a sigh of relief.

" I finally arrived at the capital. I don't know my destination. And this is my first time." Because Melati is a genius girl, so she has no trouble living in this great capital city thanks to the help of google maps.

Not long after a car approached him.

" Where are you going neng? " ask a father who is believed to be Melati, he is a taxi driver.

" Can I take you to find a contract, sir!" answer Melati.

"Oh can do it. Let's neng." the taxi driver rushed to put his passenger's suitcase.

" Do you know a cheap rented house?" ask Melati.

" It just so happens that near the contract of the father there is a cheap neng. if neng wants the father can take you there."

" Thank you sir."

" Neng isn't here, is he?" ask the taxi driver.

" Yes sir, I came from the village trying to pit my luck at the capital" Melati replied with a smile.

" living in the capital hard loh neng. If we're not good at carrying ourselves then we'll go the wrong way."

" Yes sir, thank you for your advice. Have you been a taxi driver for a long time?" ask Melati again.

" It's a long time ago that you didn't go to high school, so this kind of work is all you can do."

" It's okay sir. What work is important halal sir. To feed a wife's child must be halal sir, even though it must be hard work."

" Yes, that's right."

The car drove at a moderate speed, in the middle of the journey Melati saw someone like being robbed.

" Sir stop sir."

" Why neng?"

" It's like a man got robbed sir. Poor sir." said Melati. The driver stopped the car.

" neng we should not interfere, we should just go neng. father is afraid."

" You wait in the car, I want to help the man first."

" Neng don't neng, danger."

" Your father is calm, I want to help the man.Pity sir, we as humans must help."

" But the danger of neng." But Melati did not mengubris the words of the taxi driver's father. Melati continued to walk toward the person who beat the father.

" Excuse me." Sapa Melati polite. The criminals turned and stopped the action.

" Wih there's a pretty boss girl" said one of the thugs.

" Heh Bonang, see the clear clear just your eyes" replied the boss.

" Dear boss if it's late, we rarely meet the beginning" said another.

" Hey girl, what are you doing here?" ask the boss.

" I want to nolongin the father." replied Melati casually.

" Haha. It's not wrong, Lo?" ask the thug boss.

" What is it ?" not his answer, Melati even asked back.

Hahaha.all the thugs laughed out loud. Without them noticing, Melati picked up a pebble near her feet. Melati threw the pebble right into the head of the thug. Suddenly their laughter stopped because their boss was sprained by the gravel.

" Boss!" call those thugs.

"Hahaha." now it's Melati's turn to laugh.

" That's why you don't have your mouth wide open when you laugh." Melati still laughs.

" Fuck, don't know who we are yet?"

" Hiiaatt." The villain starts attacking Melati. Melati who is a martial arts master is not difficult for him to defeat the thugs. With his skills, Melati kicked and punched and twisted the criminal's hand. Feeling defeated, the criminals pulled out a folding knife they kept behind the pocket of each pair of pants. Jasmine is not afraid even look happy to serve them. Thanks to Kanuragan knowledge learned from his grandfather, making Melati a tough girl.

" I must quickly finish this battle." muttered Melati. The criminals are attacking again. But nimbly Melati deflected and hit them back. Until in an instant the criminals numbering 6 people were already lying on the ground. While their boss is still busy removing pebbles that are still stuck in his throat.

Not how long their boss fainted from feeling the tightness to breathe.The middle-aged man who was shocked just watched the action of Melati who was so cool against the criminals.

" You've survived, you'd better be with your father's driver at the hospital" said Melati.

" Thank you son, if there's no you're probably dead father."

" No need to thank you sir. It is our duty as human beings to help each other."

" Oh, son, what's your name?"

" I'm Jasmine sir."

" This is my father's business card. If you need anything, please call this number. Again, thank you for helping me."

" Yes the same sir."

"Then excuse me son."

" please sir, I also want to walk."

Finally the father went from the front of Melati along with his driver. Melati read the business card given by the father earlier.

" Alexander Lemos.hmmm the father was like a Caucasian." murmured Melati. Because bengong pak taxi driver did not realize that Melati was in the car.

" Road sir."

" Eh yes neng." The taxi driver runs his car.

" I didn't expect it to turn out that the Eneng I brought was good at fighting" said the taxi driver in his heart.

" by the way, whose father's name is he?" Ask Melati.

" My name is Nanang, neng. if you take who?" ask Mr. Nanang back.

" I'm Jasmine sir." replied Melati.

" Who a pretty name as pretty as her people. Melati like she's not Indonesian."

" I am an Indonesian sir. Why is that, sir?" tanya Melati was astonished.

" The face and eyes of a foreigner."

" haha, you can." It doesn't feel like they've reached their destination.

" We've arrived son."

" Oh yes sir, sir the fare." Melati also paid the taxi fare.

" It's mostly son. There's no change. "

" Let's stop by first to the contract of the father.later just looking for a contract for nak Melati. Nak Melati must be tired of long trips and fighting earlier. "

" All right sir, thank you." Melati also walked following Nanang. Arriving at the rented house, Mr. Nanang was welcomed by a boy around the age of 5 years and a little girl aged 10 years.

" Mommy, you're home!" Shouted the little girl of his son Mr. Nanang. Mr. Nanang's wife named Ningsih rushed over to Mr. Nanang.

" Who is that, sir?" ask Ningsih to her husband.

" Include Mom, this new Melati comes from the village and wants to contract here" replied Mr. Nanang.

" Let's go in, son."

" Thank you, Mom."

" Mom, will take Melati to meet the owner of the contract here, ma'am."

"Well, sir, I'll take you to see Suri's mother."
