Mr. Matrix

A princess's longing.

The half-squatted old granny in front of Alex again giggled like a kuntilanak.

The passersby looked at them with astonished eyes.

"Where can I go home to where my wives are, pity they must be looking for me" Alex told the old woman.

"I don't know young people, maybe forever you stay here, trapped in this world like the rest of us" said the old grandmother.

Alex tries to contact Mister Jo in the Matrix world, but let alone contact Mister Jo, to activate the Matrix screen alone can't.

Now Alex is really alone in a world that is foreign to him.

Back Alex patted both cheeks, it turned out to hurt, meaning he did not dream.

One by one the faces of the people he cared about flashed through his mind.

The face of Giok lin's daughter, daughter Kwan si, daughter Annchi, goddess Muyimaeva, and the face of princess Kayla alternately flashed through her mind.

The old granny in front of him again laughed softly, even now more like a petty horse Alex heard.

"No!, I don't want to stay in this place forever, I have responsibilities towards my wife and also my son later, I have to go back to my family" Alex muttered alone, "yes I must get out of this strange world, though with it I must destroy the whole world, I will do it for my wife and children"...

The strange old granny giggled and suddenly stopped immediately hearing Alex's words earlier.

"What did you say, young man?, destroy this world?, are you capable?"the old grandmother hesitated.

"Old granny listen, don't just one world like this, ten of this kind of world I can destroy in one blow if I want" Alex began to growl with the circumstances that were befalling him.

Alex's head suddenly throbbed violently, the pain that whipped until Alex momentarily staggered.

Hearing the sound of complaints of pain heard from Alex's mouth earlier, the old grandmother in front of her turned to look at Alex.

Suddenly his eyes opened staring at Alex.

Even the crowds that passed by were many who stopped instantly.

Faintly they saw a very beautiful crown perched on Alex's head with grace.

The old granny retreated with a trembling body looking at that.

Several times he rubbed his eyes, but all he saw remained the same, the face of a very majestic man with a very beautiful crown perched on his head.

But at a glance then the crown slowly began to disappear from their eyes.

Along with the disappearance of the crown on Alex's head from the eyes of the crowd, slowly the old grandmother's body began to show its changes as well.

The face of the old grandmother who was originally tangled with deflated cheeks, now began to look taut and filled.

After a while, now the old grandmother's body had all vanished, now replaced by the body of a beautiful girl who stood in front of him.

Now it's Alex's turn to take two steps back, "who's the real granny?"...

"His grandmother, this face is beautiful said grandmother, indeed your eyes hurt huh?" asked the incarnate girl grandma earlier while pecking angry.

"Lha yes, was the grandmother, now just transformed into a beautiful girl, return to her real face, no need to replace with a beautiful face all, no,I'm not interested in grandma disguising herself as a beauty" Alex said.

"Black!"

Suddenly the girl even snapped Alex's eel with her finger.

"Grandma, granny, once again you say granny, your teeth that I prickle for toothless all"rich the girl.

"Have a granny, don't get angry, later get older, can soon die a granny" said Alex as he intended to pass from the girl.

"What what what?, you still call me grandma, you know, you know, I'm young, you don't know, you're grandma" she shouted.

The person who passed by for a moment stared at the two of them who were fighting.

"Yes now, in my grandmother, you are an old grandmother who looks like a girl, right, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no" Alex said insisting on his opinion.

"I'm still young !"snapped the girl while stomping her two legs alternately like another boy sulking.

"I'll believe you if you tell me how to get me back to my wife's second place" Alex said.

"I don't know, even if I knew, I wouldn't have told you, you're too annoying" the girl said.

"You can't blame me, I don't know what's right, you're a grandmother who's a girl or a girl who's an old grandmother" Alex said.

"I am still young, I am only sixteen years old, I intentionally become a grandmother to judge you" said the girl.

"Enterminating me?, meaning that my current situation is your doing, now give me back before I do you no good" Alex said

The girl covered her mouth like a person was speechless.

"A I can't do it, it's not me who pulled you here" said the girl.

"Then who, and what kind of ruse are you planning?" alex asked starting on a high note.

"The only person who can do it is Marlen the palace shaman" the girl said.

Where is he, can he give me back to where I was?" ask Alex.

"Of course you can, just the condition is that you should call me miss, not grandma" the girl replied.

"That's easy grandma, can be set".

Alex quickly held the girl's hand, "Maap, that's why I'm going to call you lady, but take me to the Marlen shaman"...

"No!, I don't want to before you promise not to call me grandma anymore" said the girl as she passed.

"Yes, I promise I won't call you grandma" Alex said, still holding the girl's hand.

"Yes, yes, but let go of my hands, we will think of our lovers and we can marry people, I do not want to have a husband like you" said the girl as she pulled her hand.

"Well, well, whoever wants to marry you, please take me to the shaman" Alex said, letting go of the girl's hand.

"Follow me!"said the girl briefly, then immediately walked in front of Alex while occasionally looking back.

They walked towards the island in the middle of the lake by passing the bridge that crossed earlier.

It turns out that on the island in the middle of the lake there is a very large palace, surrounded by strong and high fort walls.

After passing through the guard gate of the castle fortress, they were allowed to enter the palace complex.

The palace turned out to be very magnificent, with very beautiful carvings.

Several soldiers were seen pacing back and forth around the palace.

Inside the palace complex, they went back through a gate that connected the outer courtyard of the palace and the main courtyard of the palace.

At that gate they were asked by the soldier of the second gate guard.

"We want to go to the shaman Marlen and the Emperor, there is an important need, tell the shaman of the palace that I want to face" said the girl.

The guard soldiers at the second gate spoke for a while, "good Goddess, will we say, please Goddess to wait for a while"...

This second gatekeeper passed into the main courtyard of the palace.

After a while passed, it appeared that the soldiers guarding the palace gate had come out of the main courtyard of the palace.

"The goddess is welcome, the Shaman and the Emperor await the Goddess' arrival in the palace's living room" the guard told the girl who arrived with Alex earlier.

Alex stood up following the girl walking into the palace.

In a large room, there were several men.

One of them sat in a beautiful seat of greatness accompanied by a beautiful woman, and several young people.

While in front of them appeared several men of the same age were sitting in a row facing the man who was sitting on the seat of his greatness.

The beautiful girl Alex was following sat down before the man who looked like an Emperor and said, "forgiveness to the Emperor, the duty I have done, this is the man in the prophecy my master was looking for"...

"Goddess Marfiana, you have done your duty, thank you for your help" said the Emperor.

Then the Emperor's eyes were fixed on Alex who was still standing, just a glance to bend his body in front of the Emperor.

"Prepare us young people, we are forced to interfere with your journey, if it is not an emergency and in compulsion, we will not interfere with your journey young man" said the Emperor again.

Alex took a deep breath, while staring at everyone present in the room.

"It's okay, sir, I don't have a problem with that, as long as I can go back to my world that's enough" Alex said.

"It's easy young people, it can be arranged, it's just that now we need help from you young man" said the Emperor again.

"Tell me what I can do, if I can help, I will help" Alex said.

The Emperor stood up followed by the beautiful woman and several other young men.

"Follow me young" said the Emperor.

Alex looked at the girl named Marfiana earlier, and the girl nodded her head.

Alex stepped behind the Emperor into a large room on the second floor of the palace.

Alex was aghast after entering the palace room, around the walls of the room, a painting of a young man who looked very similar to Alex's face in various positions.

On the bed, lay the body of a beautiful girl extraordinarily sleeping.

The girl's body now looks thin neigh like a sick person.

"He is Dewi Sucitra the only princess of my wayang, his age is not even sixteen years old, he is a close friend of Dewi Marfiana since he was a child, everything began a year ago, when he dreamed of being visited by a young man, after which he routinely dreamed of meeting the young man, he often dreamed, so he was poultice and could paint the face of the young man,we searched the young man across the country, but we didn't find him, until a few months ago, the princess was no longer able to eat, she just painted and painted every day,until one day when we came to a great hermit from the east, he said that the young man in the painting was in another world, and if in a few more full moon we did not get, then the princess would die,just as the ascetic prophesied, that on this day the young man will pass over this dimensional world, so I have the court shaman pick you up to our world" said the Emperor.

"Well, are you sure that the face that the princess painted is my face, what if it wasn't me?"ask Alex.

The empress opened a cupboard and took out a large painting with a gold frame and handed it to the Emperor.

The Emperor accepted it, then handed it to Alex, "Open up so you can be sure who my daughter is referring to in the painting"...

Alex opened the gold-framed painting wrapped in blue silk cloth, and looked like a painting of himself sitting on an oversized chair with a crown perched on his head.

What makes Alex can no longer wart is the presence of a five-edged gemstone bracelet on his right hand.

The actual bracelet was already embedded into his body and connected to that Matrix.

"Well what should I do?"ask Alex.

The Emperor did not reply, only turning his head towards the palace shaman.

"Young man, you can do anything to wake the princess up and make her have a passion for life again, you understand more than we do"the word palace shaman is a gesture that was little understood by Alex.

Once again Alex looked at the girl's face, although now her body was thin dry, but it was not able to reduce the slightest beauty of her face that was extraordinary.

The Emperor looked at each other with the palace shaman, then with his empress.

They nodded their heads at the Emperor.

Then the Emperor stood up and asked all his relatives to leave Alex alone in the room.

Now the room became quiet, there was only him and the princess who was sleeping soundly in pain.
