Chapter 3:Airship

On the beach, there are the wreckage of Alissa's mother's ship, at which time her ship was attacked by evil traders. Alissa is showing the ship to Alex, the dwarf.

Alissa: "This is our ship. Because our ship is damaged, we can't go anywhere. Can you help us fix this ship? This is the ship inherited from my family. (My mother said)"

Loetoeng: "Do you really believe that dwarf? He doesn't have anything."

Alissa: "I believe, really! The proof is that his ears are like a dwarf. And I think this is related to fairies."

Loetoeng: "Doesn't he hear us? What does it related to his ears?"

Alissa: "Are your ears stuck !? Ahahahaha !!" (laughs like a man) "Wrong you. That's deaf!"

Alex: "I wanted to ask. When were you friends?"

Loetoeng: "We were friends since 13 years ago. She was the one who helped me when I got lost in the forest."

Alissa: "He was once a human. But because the shaman was evil with his family, he was cursed to become a monkey and his family disappeared."

Alex: "Hmm ... I understand now. You guys step aside! I'm starting to work on renovating your ship."

Alex, the Dwarf took a coconut shell to drink sea water, then he spurted onto their boat. Next he gathered some material and carried out a strange tradition. Alissa and Loetoeng whispered behind Alex.

Loetoeng: "Isn't what he's doing crazy !?"

Alissa: "I have 3 thoughts about him. First, maybe he is hungry. Second, he is a fairy shaman."

Loetoeng: "What about the third?"

Alissa: "Hmm ... Could it be that he is your missing father? Because he looks a bit like you."

Loetoeng: "That's impossible! Because he has reddish brown hair and blue eyes. How could my father be German !?"

Alissa: "Then just throw the third one away."

Loetoeng: "It's easy for you to talk."

In the midst of their whispers, Alex told Alissa and Loetoeng that their ship had been renovated. When they saw it, they were amazed to see a ship that had wings on the side of the ship that had the possibility that the ship could fly.

Alissa: "This is amazing!"

Loetoeng: "A dream come true!"

Alex: "What are you waiting for? Let's go!"

Alissa: "Wait! Can we eat for a bit? I'm hungry because I'm tired to be a Betawi artist."

Alex: "All right! What do you have?"

Loetoeng: "2 slices of bread and 2 bags of water."

Alissa: "Sorry we are just this for the purposes of our trip we met 7 ravens who are my brothers."

Alex: (Nods as if he understands. And also feels guilty about something) "Okay. Let's eat otherwise you guys will die."

Alissa: "How old are you?"

Alex: "Umm ... I'm ... 47 years old."

Loetoeng: (choked laugh) "Ppff! Small like this but gentleman!"

Alissa put coconut shells in Loetoeng's mouth because Loetoeng said something obscene. Alex chuckled because of them. After eating, they all boarded the ship.

And of course Alissa is not used to flying that ship. As the ship is flying, she drops the airship straight into the sea because she forgot to lift the wing of the ship.

There was also laughter from another ship. It turned out that on the ship, there was an old friend that Alissa rarely talked to with. His name is Marcell.

Alex: (whispers to Loetoeng) "Hey! You know who he is?"

Loetoeng: "He is the son of a Dutch merchant, his name is Marcell van Mook. In the past, when he was studying at ELS *, he was the only student who really liked Alissa where the others laughed at him, even though her hair at elementary school was short."

ELS * = Europeesch Lagere School; is a school for elementary school students during the Dutch East Indies era. This school once entered the Indonesian people to study at this school.

Alex: (chuckling) "Ppffft! Why is her hair short since she was little?"

Loetoeng: "From what I know, her mother really wanted to meet her 7 stepchildren. So when Alissa's mother cut her daughter, she forgot that she was a girl herself. That's why she cut her hair like a boy."

Alex: "Ohh ...!"

Conversation between Alissa and Marcell

Marcell: "Hey! Are you sailing? That's not how to get on a ship."

Alissa: "Hey! This ship is not an ordinary ship! This ship can fly! It's just that I don't know how to fly."

Marcell: "That's why you should be with your mother, now! Instead of sailing with monkeys and the old dwarf!"

Alissa: "Seriously, you! You think your mother doesn't teach you how to make friends, what !?"

Marcell: "My mom who is very rich just taught me how to get lots of wives."

Alissa: "And I refuse to marry you."

Conversation between Loetoeng and Alex

Alex: "Why !? They're old friends. But why is their relationship like strangers."

Loetoeng: "They are like that. And I'm probably the only one who gets along well with Alissa. Even so, I am very hesitant to tell my feelings of love for her after all this time. Even though the curse can be lost with true love."

Alex: "Why is that?"

Loetoeng: "Alissa said because she hasn't started her new life after getting married. And she is more worried about her future. Therefore she wants to work as a teacher at the Betawi dormitory to inherit her mother's current job."

Alex: "This explains a lot. Um..Loetoeng! I want to say something but don't tell Alissa, ok?"

Loetoeng: "Very well."

Alex tells his secret in a whisper to Loetoeng. Loetoeng was surprised by the secret that Alex said.

Conversation between Alissa and Marcell

Alissa: "You should support someone who has a strong purpose, not ridicule him!"

Marcell: "If you say so, What's your purpose !?"

Alissa: "Looking for the seven ravens ..."

Marcell: "Huahahahahaha !!! If you're looking for a ravens, just look at the pet shop!"

Alissa: "But looking for crows is hard, you know! Because they are my stepbrothers!"

Marcell: (With a sneer) "Geez! You're in a fantasy world, aren't you? Sorry if I couldn't help you ..."

Alissa: "YES AND BE MY GUEST !!! I don't want your help either!"

Alissa immediately raised the screen in annoyance. After Alissa's ship went away, Marcell started to smile a little like he had a plan.

In the middle of the sea, Alex teaches Alissa about how to fly the ship. From several experiments conducted, finally Alissa was able to fly it. And she felt a warmth like her father who was teaching her new things. Alissa also didn't ask Alex anything about why he knew about airship.

From the high sky, there are 7 ravens that show colors in their dark black feathers. The 7 ravens looked at the flying boat that Alissa and friends were riding. And then they went their separate ways from the ship and disappeared into the clouds.
