Chapter 1:Batavian Girl's Secret
One day, when Alissa was going to the market, a whisper was heard from Dutch youths living in Batavia. Alissa understands Dutch, even though she is of German and Batavian descent.
Youth 1: "Do you look her?"
Youth 2: "Yes, THAT Anne! Whose parents are German nobility, right?"
Youth 1: "Looks like...You know if not with his father's cruelty to his 7 brothers, We would not have met a girl like her." (They stare at Alissa with their wide eyes).
Alissa was annoyed and shouted in front of the young men as he headed for them,
"Hey, you guys! Be careful with ...!"
Suddenly, Alissa slipped a banana peel and fell into an empty basket. The Dutch youths laughed seeing her fall until her wig fell off. Alissa was known to have short tufted hair.
Youth 2: "Luckily we are not married to the short hair lady!"
Youth 1: "Yes! Maybe HE is a man dressed as a woman!"
The young men went away and an annoyed Alissa bought things and went straight home. In the middle of the forest, he met a monkey. And a monkey can talk by asking Alissa.
"Why are you sad? And why is your hair ...?"
(Gaze sarcastically) "When you talk about that, I'll skin you into a doormat!"
Alissa and the monkey named Loetoeng have been best friends since Alissa was 8 years old.
Loetoeng: "Don't be like that, Alissa. You are still beautiful with any hairstyle"
Alissa: "It's your world! But not my world!"
Loetoeng: "Didn't I tell you that I used to be a human like you. Where as a child I was cursed by an evil shaman. At that time I was lonely, lost my parents, and I just lived in the forest. Then, you came to give me food, and your mother and you allowed me to live with you! "
Alissa: "But the problem is, I am confused about my birth, who my father is, and I don't know why my hair is shortened by my mother. I also refused to cut my hair, but I didn't want to disappoint my mother. And just now the Dutchman found out that I was a princess from the Germany Kingdom."
Loetoeng: (Jumping up to block Alissa's path) "Uwaa! This is shocking! Let's tell your mother if what someone said is true!"
Alissa: "I don't seem ready to say this, Loetoeng. Later, you will be surprised by ..."
Loetoeng: (Pushes Alissa towards Alissa's House) "Ahh! I force you to be a girl that everyone can trust, you have to say this!" (Pushed until Alissa fell in front of the entrance)
Mother: (Sitting quietly) "Be careful with the door, dear."
Loetoeng: "Sorry, ma'am. I pushed her. And I have some shocking news from your daughter."
Mother: (Standing up and shocked) "Oh yeah !? Is it that she knows who she really is !?"
Alissa: (immediately woke up and worried) "How did you know !?"
mother: (Calming herself) "Actually, I wanted to tell you about your birth and everything ... Come with me."
In Alissa's mother's room, she opens the cupboard and opens the safe containing letters, documents and other items related to Germany.
Alissa: "Wow! Are you German !?"
Mother: "No, but your father. These are all gifts from your father to me."
Alissa: "Please tell me everything."
Loetoeng: (Said to himself) "This girl can't stay still."
Mother tells of the time she met the king of Germany. She also told about 7 brothers who had become ravens. After the conversation is over,
Alissa: "So about my 7 guardian birds... Are they related to ..."
(Alissa immediately ran and looked for a frame in the form of 7 black feathers, where when viewed from a different perspective, the color of the feathers changed partially to various colors, like a rainbow.)
Alissa: (shows frame to mom) "This is it, mom. I've been keeping it since I was 13."
Loetoeng: "Why? How come you didn't tell me !?"
Alissa: "Hihi! I forgot to tell you how beautiful these feathers are. And beside, i don't want to show you my fancy-fluffy feathers.😜"
Before Loetoeng started to get annoyed and wanted to punch Alissa on her face, Alissa's mother stopped their silly fight by pretending to cough.
Mother: "So, are you ready for this?"
Alissa & Loetoeng: "For what?"
Then, Mom took out the equipment and equipment as if on an adventure.
Alissa: "Mother! Do I want to find a brother or a rice plow? There are gloves and boots all."
Mother: "This will protect you. And ..." (Takes out a big square bag) "This is for your journey and you ...!" (Points to Loetoeng)
Loetoeng: (With surprise) "I ... me !?"
Mother: "Please accompany my girl on her journey."
Loetoeng:"Yes, Madame!😆"
Alissa: (carrying a heavy bag) "Mother! What are we riding? Until this bag is heavy?"
Alissa and Loetoeng followed the mother who wanted to show her their means of transportation, which is a sailing ship large enough to carry less than 10 people.
Mother: "This is my ship since I separated from your father for his inner peace." (Told you to the point of shedding a few tears)
Loetoeng: "How is her father?"
Alissa: "Hey, You! I don't know how my father is."
Loetoeng: "But, I also asked." (Jumping on board)
Mother: "Alissa, if you see your father, tell me from the mother that I miss him and would love to meet him."
Alissa: "Yes, mother. When you meet my brother, you say the same thing, right?"
Loetoeng: "Hey! The ship is ready to set sail !!!" (The ship starts moving towards the ocean.)
Alissa: (Angry while chasing the ship) "HOLY RUSTY! I'll gonna slash you, Loetoeng !!!" (Finally she managed to get on)
When the ship was in the middle of the ocean, Alissa waved to her mother and they said goodbye simultaneously.
