Once upon a time, there’s a poor family with their wonderful
daughter. This family living in a small hut inside the forest. Their daughter
named is Syahlah. Syahlah’s father works in the forest to make a piece of equipment to
catch the birds and Syahlah’s mother used to help him for farming and collect
some gemstone from the cave. Syahlah grows as a curious girl who does like asking
anything to their parents. And her parents are very supportive people in the
world. They used to teach Syahlah about anything they know. They teach Syahlah
about how to living in the forest, how to hunt, how to get a rubber, how to make
a hut, how to cook, how to get over from
the sickness, how to heal herself even there’s nobody surrounding her. They
teach Syahlah mostly everything.
Sometimes, Syahlah’s father buys a book for her when he
visiting the city. He used to get a second-hand book which is not so popular by
people. At that time, most people like to entertain themselves by
reading a comic, novel or storybook. They don’t like science book and some
history books. They think that the book is difficult to read and a little bit heavy
for their brain. They just read a book which makes them enjoy while reading.
Syahlah and father used to go to the second-hand book store and
she will stay over there while her father selling the gemstone or some
equipment to catch the birds. In Syahlah place, there are so many birds and
people like eating birds. They said birds have more protein and taste
better. They used to put a bird catcher in their garden or on top of their home
and the next day there’s some small birds inside.
People in this city are so addicted in gemstone too. Their
favorite is aquamarine gemstone because they believe it can bring them to the
prosperous life. Many fortune teller hiding in this city and told a story to
some people about some of gemstone. And most people in this city believe in
that.
Syahlah grow day by day far from any cheap gossip from the
city. She doesn’t have any friends except her parents. She used to be alone
every day but she is happy with that. She found herself and feel enjoy do
anything by herself. Sometimes she will talk to her mom about anything she
found. They used to share their story each other every day and from what her
mother see, they decide to send Syahlah to a kingdom.
Two days ago they know a King open an opportunity to
everybody for becoming a teacher for palace district. This people will filtered
by an exam and whoever choosed to be teacher will be stay in palace and have a
duty for teaching everyone in palace. Syahlah’s mother know her daughter love
to share her ideas and addicted in knowledge. She believe in palace there’s a
huge library and sure Syahlah will be happy every day surrounding the books.
She is a dreamer and she needs more knowledge to built her dream big and bigger.
After all, Syahlah joins that exam and as we guess, she is
in. She becomes a teacher in palace and stay in palace area. She stays close to
library and a big room for practicing the knowledge. We called it as laboratory
now.
Day by day Syahlah become a very good teacher in the palace.
She already read all of the books in the library and the end of the time, she
asked to the king, if there’s any other books remaining in the palace.
“Your Majesty, I have read all the books inside palace’s
library. I just curious if there’s any other books in this palace. As I know
this kingdom is very big and I believe we have another knowledge we should know
and I should teach to our people”
The King saw the sky a little time, see his Queen who is
busy with her own thinking about the flowers she has and then he said,
“Our ancestor have a library deep under one of this palace
building. If you know where is that building, you can go there and read
whatever you want”
Syahlah thinking hard about that statement. She think how
can the King doesn’t easily let her go there. Why she should found another
people’s ancestor legacy hint. But because of she is a curious girl, she tried
to find it and finally she found it was under the Queen’s glass house building.
After she told that to the King, King looks like so confuse.
In another side he know that the Queen will be so angry if
she know people will demolished her garden to find the old library room. But in
another side, King want his son, which is Prince Siru become a great King in
future which is will affected by the lessons he get from his teacher. As a wise
King, then they decide to demolished Queen garden for knowledge’s sacrifice.
In this Kingdom, the most wise person is King. Nobody can
replace him as a wise-man. But unlucky his Queen is not so wise like him. His
Queen only think about gold, flower, wonderful dress, or another artificial
things. And how about their son, Prince Siru? These Price is a combination
between 2 people. In other side, Prince Siru is a kind boy. But in another side
he is an unstable person. He likes candy too much even candy is not good for
his health. But in other side, he used to following whatever his father told to
him. Even sometimes he forgot it after found his happiness.
After 1 week demolished Queen’s garden, King replaced it
with a new beautiful garden full of beautiful flower and a big water pond.
People can see the flower from inside the small boat from the water. King made
a very beautiful garden with the help from Syahlah as designer of the garden.
One month after, Syahlah already finished with her garden
project and return to her old library. She is so happy to find a huge library
with old sculptures inside the King’s ancestor room. She found so many new
point of view of the world. And one thing which attract her attention is a
space and time book. That is a huge book with so many practicing about space
and time research. And in the middle of the book, Syahlah found that they can
become an unbreakable kingdom if they can see the future.
The next day, Syahlah come back to King palace and told
about her discovery. She told everything to the King and King told her to make
the equipment for empower his kingdom soon. Syahlah invite her parents and some
of teachers to help her to finish that equipment. She need her parents to share
her point of view every day and giving her inspiration. She knows that her
mother is a good listener for her and her father is a good support system for
her mother. So she needs both of them.
Day by day, month by month until year by years, finally they
can finish that project. And for launching they send a maid to the future and he returns back as he is inside that tools. He told everything what he saw in
future and he is recommend that tools work so easily and make him see another point
of view of the world.
At that time, Prince already being 18 years old. He is
mature enough to go for seeing another new world. Actually Syahlah also want to
go there, but she should stay in the Kingdom for making sure the maintenance of
the tools if something bad happen. So she only can send people and taking back
that person as long as they keep another equipment with themselves in future.
So at that day, Prince Siru go to the future world. King and
Queen is very sad and remind him to come back safely. They said to Prince to
come back whatever happen because this Kingdom need him to grow. They gave the
Prince a lot of gold for his expenses in the future world. But they forget to
giving him enough knowledge and they just insist Syahlah to send their children
even Syahlah already warning them to postpone the process. Syahlah just want to
making sure that Prince Siru’s addiction in candy already gone because she
doesn’t know what’s in the future. But from the story of the maid before, he
told in future life, everything is very easy for him. He doesn’t need do many
things as now.
And, the end, they send Prince Siru to the future world.
They send this Prince in a huge Kingdom as a part of Kingdom itself. Once
Prince Siru reach there, he is very happy because of the modern room he got
over there. But unlucky, there’s so many choices of candy, sweet cotton,
chocolate and ice cream surrounding him and it makes him deny himself to go
back. He throw another space and time tools with him. Then Syahlah, King and Queen
can not trace back Prince Siru. Prince Siru is gone for an artificial things
which is they can make soon in their real kingdom. He is okay lose his family,
his own kingdom and everything just for a ton of candy. Until today, people
remember this Prince as Candy Prince.
