In the middle of the sea towards the island known as the Golden Island (Sumatra Island), Loetoeng and Alissa sat down and wanted to see the contents of the bag that had been prepared by their mother.

Loetoeng: "Alissa, your bag is huge. Let us see!"

Alissa: "Oh yeah! I didn't even see when I was getting ready to go."

After opening the bag, it contained 2 slices of bread, 2 bags of water, 2 medium bags containing money that could only be exchanged in the Dutch East Indies, mother's wedding ring, and 15 books on local culture and language that only existed in the Dutch East Indies.

Alissa: (upset about wanting to repay her own mother, but her mother wasn't there) "Mother! This is not preaching the gospel !!"

Loetoeng: "Maybe your mother thinks that a person is very religious. The proof is that you go to worship every Sunday at a big celebration."

Alissa: "Oh, that's right."

Arriving at the beach at the tip of the island of Sumatra (the place would be called Aceh), all the people living on the island flocked to carry something heavy. Some were in the form of sacks filled with money, some chickens, goats, and some people even wanted to bring their own children to sell!

Alissa: "This is crazy !!! This is called child bullying!"

Loetoeng: "There are people who think property is more valuable than children. Their religious education is high, but something is lacking, here."

Alissa and Loetoeng followed them to a place that could be like a market. In the middle of the market, there was someone who shouted announcing something that was behind a box covered in white cloth as high as a large fruit basket.

Merchant: (with Dutch accent) "Goedemorgen *, everyone! Today there will be a very special sale of merchandise! A dwarf human ...!"

Goedemorgen=Good morning

Behind the crowd watching a merchant selling, Alissa and Loetoeng whispered

Alissa: "This is bad! My country has been colonized, even willing to commit slavery. This cannot be tolerated!"

Loetoeng: "I heard he sold the human who have mystical powers."

Alissa: "Uwaa! The one who buys him will get rich quick. Indeed, it benefits the economy, but not in this way."

Loetoeng: "So how do you do it, Alissa?"

Alissa: (with pleasure) "WE BUY HIM!"

Loetoeng: (His face was so tense and said to himself) "WHAT! This girl has holy words but knows sin!"

Alissa: (calmly) "... But it's free."

Loetoeng: "Geez!"

After opening the cloth and seeing a dwarf who has brownish-red hair, he arrives to offer a price from the dwarf. It's all about showing what they're going to sell and no one can buy it.

And one day, the sound of a car horn (which only borrows) ring. It was there that Alissa, disguised as an entertainer man, sing a song called Biang Kerok/Troublemaker (from the youtube above; Sorry about the awkwardness of the story and song due to different eras. Because the main character is also from Betawi😅. The singing style is similar to Pengki from Benyamin Biang Kerok 2018. ).

================================================================================

POV. Dwarf

When the cloth is open, I don't know what country this is. This country seems like I've come here before, but this is not that place I feel. What I see are people coming with gold, jewellery, silver, food, clothes, building materials, pets and children. Maybe my life is starting to end as a slave to one of them. But somehow a strange man started his dancing show. And uniquely they even provoked him.

================================================================================

When Alissa's song was echoed, Loetoeng quietly headed for the dwarf's cage without being noticed by the crowd who watched Alissa's performance.

Dwarf: (said to himself) "Was macht moved Affe? *"

* Was macht shifted Affe? = What was that monkey doing?

Loetoeng: "Calm down, sir. We will help you from this slavery." (Opening the door to the cage with Loetoeng's extraordinary power.).

Dwarf: (shocked) "Dieser Affe ist sehr mächtig !!! *"

* Dieser Affe ist sehr mächtig !!! = This monkey is very powerful !!!

Loetoeng: (holding the dwarf and thinking to himself) "Geez, I don't understand the language! Not Dutch, here!"

When Alissa's show was over, a sissy began to approach her in a feminine way. Alissa tried to stay away from him, until her fake mustache fell off.

Alissa: (running in panic and shouting to Loetoeng who is carrying the dwarf) "Run, Loetoeng! We've been caught, here !!!"

Loetoeng: (Responds with annoyance) "If you find out your identity, don't yell at me !!!"

Suddenly the merchant and the buyers chased them. Alissa and Loetoeng ran until they got to the ship. Arriving at the ship, suddenly they shot with cannons and began to sink the ship. They were almost there.

Alissa: "Uwwaa !! My mother's ship !!!"

Loetoeng: "I was forced to use my secret weapon!"

Loetoeng pulled out some of his hair and threw them at the bunch and 

BOOOM!!!!

A smog appeared so that the crowd could not find their trace.

Alissa, Loetoeng, and the Dwarf managed to survive in the forest side.

Alissa: "Loetoeng! How can we continue our journey if our ship has collapsed."

Loetoeng: "I don't know!"

Alissa: "You're a powerful monkey! Why you can't fix that ship !?"

Loetoeng: "Never mind, Alissa. This is someone who wants to talk to you."

Dwarf: "Entschuldigen Sie, Miss. Wie heißen Sie? *"

Entschuldigen Sie, Miss. Wie heißen Sie? = Excuse me, miss. What is your name?

Alissa: "Oh he asked my name."

Loetoeng: "You know what? His language is not Dutch !?"

Alissa: "I learned other European languages ​​from Mom and my senior. Maybe you skipped class during that time, huh?"

Loetoeng: (Said to himself anxiously) "Oh my gosh, got caught!"

Alissa: (Talking to the Dwarf) "Hallo, ich heiße Anne Lisa Hassen Pflug*.Du kannst mich Alissa nennen*."

* Hallo, ich heiße Anne Lisa Hassen Pflug. = Hello, My name is Anne Lisa Hassenpflug.

* Du kannst mich Alissa nennen. = You can call me Alissa.

Dwarf: (surprised until he pronounced it in the language that is in the Dutch East Indies) "You are a Hassenpflug !? Introduce, I ... um .... Alex."

Alissa: (Said to herself) "Hey! It's a little old, how come he can speak Dutch Indies?"

Loetoeng: "Nice name."

Alex: "Thank you. What did you guys come here for?"

Alissa: "We are traveling all over the world or at least throughout the Dutch East Indies to look for my 7 brothers who look like crows."

Alex: "Yes, sorry, miss. I don't know where they are. But I want to join you. Can you fulfill the request of this dwarf."

Loetoeng: "So, you want to find ...!" (Alissa hits Loetoeng's chest for arbitrary talk)

Alissa: "Of course! We want your help anyway."

Loetoeng & Alex: "What is it?"
