TOWARDS Christmas and New Year, Vladd's mommy and daddy's activities are not getting slower, they're actually getting busier. That morning, when Vladd woke up during his school holidays, Vladd had received a voice mail from Mami Smirnov saying that this morning she had gone to Hong Kong, wanting to shop for clothes on sale to fill her boutique in Kemang. He said he wouldn't be gone long, only a week.
A week is a long time, Vladd cursed to himself. And when I opened the internet, there was a letter from Papi Eraisuli. He said he had not been able to take souvenirs home because he had been held up by a shareholder meeting in Singapore. The monetary turmoil in Indonesia has made his father even busier chasing dollars and meeting everywhere. This means that this holiday there will be no outings for Vladd.
Actually, if Vladd wanted to go anywhere, he could just go on a holiday package to America, Australia or around Europe. Vladd just pays by card
extra credit from his father. Most of the bills also go to your father's account. But Vladd was bored of traveling like that. There's no adventure. Everything
It's been prepared, delivered. Besides, how nice is it to be alone? So Vladd thought, what should he do to spend this holiday?
Vladd opened the window of the room on the second floor. Contemplating. In the distance there was the faint sound of traffic. Vladd then took his tap tool, looking at the view in the distance. In the distance, you can see buses passing by, children playing, and rows of salespeople. Suddenly he had
idea. Why doesn't he just walk around Jakarta by himself? Take the bus, it's a good time
Yes, chasing buses, walking around the terminal, snacking on the side of the road, these could all be alternative fun activities for Vladd. The problem is that as a houseboy, whose father is a conglomerate, he rarely has experience on the streets. Go to and from school on a luxury school bus transfer. Which
using air conditioning and like a tourist bus.
Vladd knew that if his intention to go alone was carried out, Maryati, the chatty aunt, would definitely not let him go out. Surely he will report Mami-Papi. But what's the deal? So instead of making a fuss, Vladd immediately planned to just run away through the window. It was fun, going down using a sheet made into a rope. Like in the movies. Vladd immediately rushed to grab a towel and take a shower as needed. After that, while wearing a t-shirt. and jeans, he picked up his cell phone. Called Mami Smirnov. He heard a recording of his mother telling him to leave a message.
Vladd immediately spoke, "Mi, this is Vladd. When you come home from Hong Kong, don't forget to stop by Japan first, okay? Please buy Vladd a toy robot that can play ball. That's what's popular in Japan, you know... Don't buy any more tamagotchis. That's it "Toys for people who don't work enough like Sun Yi. In Vladd's room there are already ten tamagotchis. From baby dinosaurs to real babies. That's it, okay, Mi? Bye" Vladd hung up the phone. Then grinned to himself once he realized that Japan and
Hong Kong is not that serious. How can you stop by? Ah, that's stupid. The important thing is that you have ordered. But his mother would definitely be happy to be ordered like that, so he is
there is a reason to go to Japan again. If Papi asks, "Vladd ordered him to do it. He needs a souvenir..." Even though Vladd is sure, in Japan Mami Smirnov will be more
I'm excited about shopping for myself.
After changing clothes, Vladd took out his magic remote control. Yes, he doesn't really know what life is like outside his house. That's why you need a secret weapon. Vladd often reads, recently teenage crime has become even crazier.
When Vladd was looking for his flip-flops, suddenly the alarm at the front door went off. On the screen Maryati was waiting.
"What's wrong, Mar?" Vladd asked impatiently.
"Oh, are you awake, Mas Vladd? This morning, there was a message from Mami Srnirnov...
He said he..."
"I know," Vladd interrupted.
"Oh, did you know? Then you also ordered..."
"Already know"
"Do you know yet? Well, Mas Vladd definitely doesn't know about this one. Can you guess?" Maryati's voice sounded cheerful and innocent.
Vladd, who was in a hurry, was clearly annoyed at being asked to play a game of guessing the mangosteen fruit. He's really impatient. "What's wrong, Mar? Let's just be honest, I'm not in the mood to play guessing games."
Hearing Vladd's reaction, Maryati frowned. He said curtly, "Uu, breakfast is ready. Auntie deliberately didn't bring it to the room, because the breakfast is special. Mexican style menu. Bibik just experimented with making it from a magazine. The people in the house said it was delicious."
"Vladd isn't hungry. You can just eat yourself." After that, Vladd turned off the monitor screen and got ready to leave. Maryati had a serious goiter in front of Vladd's room. With a long grumble he walked back to the back
After carrying his wallet and taking out money from his uniform pants, which he couldn't count how much, Vladd began his adventure. Down through the sheets tied to his bed. Hihihi, Maryati would be furious if she found out that the sheets that had just been washed in the laundry yesterday were now hanging down from the room.
Not long after, after walking under the hot sun which made his head dizzy, Vladd arrived at a bus stop. Vladd looked right to left...
towards crowded buses. Idih, my girnana can go up? he thought. So far he has only taken shuttle buses where all the passengers have seats. This is... bujubune, it's a support for hanging like a monkey.
"Squeak" a bus bound for Blok M stopped. Vladd looked. Eh, a bit empty. Without thinking further, Vladd immediately got on the bus. Stand near the driver.
The conductor told Vladd to move in. But Vladd shook his head, he stood holding the pole. The conductor was annoyed, then charged the fare. Vladd immediately reached into his pocket and handed over twenty thousand in cash.
"Don't you have any money?" asked the unfriendly conductor.
Vladd reached into his pocket again. Issue banknotes. There were fifty thousand, twenty thousand, but there was no small money at all. Several passengers glared at Vladd. Crazy, does this kid have a lot of money?
"Nothing, Bro...," said Vladd. "That's the smallest."
"Okay, come back later, okay? Where do you get off? Blok M?"
Vladd nodded. Just nod. Then he put in his money. He started to worry when several pairs of passengers' eyes watched him intently.
He was very sorry that he had acted so carelessly. The money in his pocket must have been change from yesterday's game purchase. Yes, yesterday he stopped by the computer shop,
buy some games. And he still has the change in his pocket. Forgot to put it in his wallet. And now, everyone on the bus knows he has a lot of it
money in his pocket.
Money can bring disaster
Vladd then felt his back pocket. Hm... there's the remote control. If there are various things, the tool can be used. For a moment, Vladd calms down. And he is grateful to be able to create such a sophisticated tool, especially in urgent times like this
A few minutes later, the bus Vladd was riding in entered the Blok M terminal area. All the passengers immediately stood up. The conductor gave him his change.
Without counting any more, Vladd just put it in his pocket. Then while adjusting his glasses, Vladd stood guard. Usually when they are crowded down, the pickpockets take action. Immediately he moved the remote control to his front pocket. Then get ready to jump down like other passengers.
Two teenagers with delinquent faces immediately grabbed him. Vladd was caught in the middle. Among dozens of passengers preparing to disembark. Vladd glanced
to the left and right. The two teenagers grinned. Full of threats. As if to say, "You'll see. Once it's quiet, you have to hand over all the money
you're with me"
Vladd actually doesn't have a problem if they ask for money nicely. But Vladd doesn't like being threatened. So when finally the passengers were racing to get off, and the two teenagers were getting closer to him, Vladd immediately took out the remote, pointed it quietly at the two teenagers and pressed the pause button.
With two movements, it stops stiffly in place. So the passengers queuing to get off at the back grumbled, telling them to get out of the way. But the two teenagers couldn't move their bodies at all. Vladd giggled, then quietly pressed the timer on his remote, five minutes. Yes, five minutes is enough for them to stiffen in place. After that they can be free.
Vladd immediately fled to Blok M Mall. Before he entered the mall, he was suddenly surprised by a group of students running in the middle of the street. Don't care anymore about the cars passing by. Behind the teenager, dozens of other teenagers chased him while holding large boulders. Several other people carried blocks of wood, iron, crowbars and whatever tools they could to beat up their opponents. A rock hit the smooth window of a sedan until it broke. The driver immediately stepped on the brakes. Seeing this, other cars also pulled over because they were horrified by the recklessness of the students.
Vladd, who had just seen the brutal incident live, felt his blood flowing. Horrified. But soon he made sense. He immediately pointed the remote at the children who were sheltering in the middle of the road, while pressing the peace button. Suddenly an astonishing sight occurred. The two groups of students who were ready to fight suddenly shook hands with each other with big smiles. In fact, there were people who hugged each other intimately, while everyone was sun-kissed. Obviously people. in the car in surprise.
Vladd just smiled and immediately stepped into the mall. He stroked the remote.
If people around the world knew, Vladd could win the Nobel Peace Prize. The thing is, he was able to create tools for world peace.
At two in the afternoon, his stomach was hungry. Vladd immediately filled his stomach at a bakery on the ground floor. He was happy, because he could be satisfied eating his favorite cream filled bread. Usually Mami Smirnov likes to grumble when Vladd eats too much sweets. Vladd's teeth have been bad since he was little. He became a regular customer of Uncle Didi's Dentist,
because I eat too much sweets. But now he's free. Vladd devoured his cream bun again.
While he was enjoying himself eating, suddenly his eyes fell on two teenagers who were wandering around, coming down the escalator. These two people are like moderate criminals
looking for prey. When he examined it more closely, Vladd was immediately shocked. The two kids were thugs who had grabbed him on the bus. Wow, maybe he was looking for Vladd to get revenge. Vladd immediately looked down to avoid the two boys' eyes.
But Vladd's movements actually aroused their suspicions. They immediately noticed Vladd, and one of them immediately pointed at Vladd.
Vladd was shocked, hurriedly ran away from his seat. The two thugs immediately gave chase. With all his might Vladd. running along the mall. Up the escalator several times while continuing to run. The two thugs gave chase.
Clothes stands, bookstores, shoe stores, passed by Vladd. Until he gasped for breath. And the two teenagers continued to chase. They seemed curious
once on Vladd. Either because they saw Vladd carrying a lot of money, or
because it has been frozen by Vladd.
Without realizing it, Vladd had already run up to the fifth floor. Vladd was starting to get tired. And the two thugs were seen climbing the escalator to the fifth floor. It felt like Vladd didn't have the strength to run anymore. It's time for the remote to work again. So that you know what thugs feel like. If necessary, Vladd will stiffen them for two hours. Hihihi... my body was sore. He immediately took out his remote control. With a gasp, he immediately pressed the pause button again, aiming at the two thugs. But... it turns out that the two young men didn't stop stiff like they did on the bus. They were still running after him. Vladd panicked, he repeatedly pressed the pause button. But still to no avail. Tensedly, Vladd looked on
to the remote. Why isn't it working? Is it because it's too far away? Ah, the time to control brawling children is even further away. So why is this?
Why did the remote suddenly crash? Vladd checked the remote again. The power is still on. Alas, if a component is damaged, it will take a long time to fix it. Besides, now Vladd doesn't have his tools with him. When Vladd turns over the remote, it turns out there is a red button on, an indicator that indicates low battery. Aka, the battery is about to run out. Ouch, what a shame. The battery hasn't been recharged yet. Yes, the Vladd remote uses rechargeable batteries. So the battery is not sold publicly, but can be recharged using Vladd's charger. Vladd's bone joints immediately gave way. This means that the device can't function now and he can't save himself from those delinquent children
Vladd's brain immediately started working. He saw that there was an elevator nearby. The elevator goes to the ground floor. And the arrow points to the fifth floor. Vladd immediately ran to the elevator and immediately pressed the down button. He was only a few meters away from the two thugs, and their rude screams could already be heard.
Vladd panicked, constantly pressing buttons. Right at the crucial moment, the elevator doors opened, and Vladd immediately rushed in, then hurriedly pressed the close button, so that the doors closed immediately. The people in the elevator looked at Vladd in surprise.
"Hey, wait!" shouted the thugs. But when the two thugs arrived in front of the elevator doors - thank God - the doors immediately closed. The two thugs were annoyed, to the point of kicking the door. Vladd breathed a sigh of relief. From the glass-walled elevator, Vladd could see the two of them running down the escalator again, wanting to catch Vladd. Apparently the disaster for Vladd didn't end there
Suddenly on the second floor the elevator got stuck. Stop Apparently the lights went out. Vladd and the other elevator passengers were shocked. Even more surprised when the thugs got closer to the elevator. Grinning triumphantly, they blocked in front of the elevator
What should Vladd do???
Vladd was really confused. He was trapped in a stuck elevator, and was waited on by two thugs at the door, while his magic remote couldn't work anymore because of a low battery. What should he do? This was the first time Vladd felt truly scared. Horrified. Moreover, he imagined the recklessness of today's teenagers (duh, Vladd pretends to be so old. It's as if Vladd isn't just a teenager). Those who say that if they succeed in stabbing someone, they actually scream with pride. What if Vladd wasn't just stabbed, but killed? Today's children are said to no longer care about doing that in public. That's all Vladd read from teen magazines. And all the stories and news that Vladd could usually only read in magazines, he now experienced for himself. Both of Vladd's knees immediately went weak. His heart was beating like a rickshaw bell. Ter Ter Ter The tension he experienced was far more intense than playing any other type of game. This is real life, not just in games. In games, Vladd can be a champion who easily shoots opponents. But in real life? Vladd started to see people in the elevator. Who knows, maybe someone can ask for help. In that elevator
there were only three people. One woman was a bit advanced, another was a man whose face was very friendly (Vladd couldn't imagine whether these men could be angry?), and the other was a beautiful woman, the type of career woman who had been anxiously waiting for the elevator door to open. . There's really nothing to look forward to.
A moment later, the elevator was working again. The lights and buttons started turning on. The others breathed a sigh of relief, while Vladd immediately choked. Door
the elevator opens. And before the people in the elevator had time to get out, the two thugs immediately rushed in and pinned Vladd against the glass wall of the elevator. The delinquent's eyes threatened the people in the elevator to get out immediately, which they immediately complied with. Nobody cares about Vladd's fate. Everyone in the elevator hurriedly got out. Mall visitors who wanted to enter the elevator failed to see the behavior of the two randy heroes. Then one of the thugs closed the elevator. And the elevator moves up again.
Now only Vladd and the two young men were in the elevator. Immediately the thug grabbed Vladd by the collar and lifted him up easily. Vladd is like a goose's feathers, compared to their hefty body weight.
"You can't run anymore now."
Vladd stuttered, "W-what do you want? Do you want to take my money? Take it."
The punk smiled. "Not just money, but I want to take your magic tool."
"What magic tool?" Vladd asked pretending to be stupid.
Frankly, if it's just about money, it's not a problem for him. Because even though the dollar exchange rate continues to rise, Vladd is sure that his father has a lot of savings in dollars. But what if you want the remote control? Wow, that must be exchanged for lives. To assemble it, Vladd took years of struggle and prayer. It took all the genius of Stephen Hawking's brain. And now, the two thugs know that Vladd has a magical tool.
�Don't pretend to be stupid. I know, you have a magic tool that makes me stiff on the bus...�snapped one of the thugs.
�W-how do you know?�Vladd asked innocently.
�The conductor who told me the story happened to see what happened�
One thug was impatient, he immediately searched all of Vladd's pockets.
At the same time, the elevator doors opened. Unexpectedly, Perry Lontoh - Vladd's school friend who has a bodybuilder body - and James Raharja wanted to get into the elevator. They were shocked to see Vladd being grabbed by two thugs. Vladd was surprised to see his two school friends suddenly appear
Ulam's loved shoot arrived, in the elevator.
�Vladdvaniooo�said Perry Lontoh in surprise.
�Perry Lontoh James Raharja Please help�
The two delinquents turned with fierce faces to Perry and James.
Even though at school Perry and James are Vladd's enemies - especially James, who doesn't like Vladd playing close to Marigold, his girlfriend - but outside the spirit of their alma mater, the spirit of friendship, the spirit of solidarity, will definitely still shine out. So immediately, Perry and James immediately helped Vladd. Then there was a big fight, which was no less exciting than the film Air Force One. Vladd was only able to watch the bak-bik-buk scene which, if broadcast on TV, would be subject to censorship. If Vladd wanted to run for his life, actually
oh, Please. This is the right time. But he didn't have the heart to do that.
When his friend came to his defense, Vladd ran away. And for Perry Lontoh, whose hobby is fighting, this is really like relaxing his muscles.
which may not be used for a long time.
The fight stopped when suddenly several security guards rushed in and separated them. The five children were immediately taken to the security post
A few moments later Vladd, Perry and James were walking around freely. at the mall again. The thug was sent away after Vladd explained the problem. No one doubts the story of a child with an innocent face like Vladd. Which never implies falsehood.
"James, Perry, thanks a lot, okay?" Vladd said sincerely as they walked down the mall corridor.
James just grinned, while Perry was more sympathetic, "So next time be careful when going alone. Don't bring a lot of money. Moreover, you look... you're really geeky. Surely there are lots of people who want to have fun with you."
James also spoke up, "Yeah, walking around the mall isn't safe for someone like you. Even my little brother once had his shoes and watch stolen by a punk. So he came home jammed. If you're not macho like the two of us, it's better to just stay at home. Play." games or dolls... Hahaha"
James laughed.
Vladd pouted.
Perry said again, "Now where are you going? We both want to go home. You definitely don't have a car, right?"
Vladd shook his head.
"Want to ride?"
Vladd shook his head again. "No, thanks. I can still go home alone."
"Ah, I don't know. When someone beats you again, you just know the feeling. Luckily we were able to help you. If you get beaten again, I don't know."
"It's okay. I just hope not, not everyone is bad..."
"Whatever..."
The two people were about to leave. But Vladd hurriedly held back, "Eh, how about as a token of thanks, I treat you both to something to eat first?"
Perry looked at each other with James.
"Okay, I happen to be hungry," Perry agreed. They also look for a good restaurant.
At four in the afternoon Vladd felt satisfied having walked alone around Blok M Mall. Now he decided to return home. Vladd immediately thought about it
which bus should he take? Sarnbil thought so, he walked over the pedestrian bridge. Without realizing it, at the bottom of the crossing stairs, two thugs who had been curious about Vladd had been waiting. Apparently he was waiting for Vladd to come out of the mall, and had every intention of ambushing him outside. So inevitably, when Vladd casually descended the steps of the pedestrian bridge, he was suddenly shocked by the attack of the two thugs. Now Vladd
helpless. He was immediately arrested and taken to a corner.
"Now you can't ask for help anymore, bastard. Come on, hand over all your possessions." The punk's gaze looked very threatening.
Vladd reached into his pocket and handed over all the money. But they don't seem satisfied.
"Where's your magic tool? Don't let me take it by force, okay?"
This time there was no other way. Vladd had to hand over the remote. The thug quickly grabbed it and examined it. They get confused seeing so many buttons.
"How do you do it?"
Vladd was silent.
The punk glared, furious. "You don't want to open your mouth, do you? Do you want to be tortured first like Rambo? Heh? Force him to open his mouth, Brother," said the punk to his friend.
His friend immediately pulled Vladd's hair, until Vladd screamed. Then he forced Vladd's nose hairs. Yikes, the torture was truly sadistic and ridiculous.
"Come on, if you don't want to talk, I'll pluck the hairs off your legs one by one" Vladd was scared, finally opening his mouth.
Explain how the remote works. Actually, it is also dangerous if this remote falls into the hands of bad people. He could be the number one criminal. Defeating even criminals who have black magic. But currently, this remote is no more sophisticated than a regular remote. Because the battery is dead.
"It functions like an ordinary remote control... press the button, and objects within the infrared radar range will be controlled," explained Vladd.
"Ooo, so that's how you made me stiff?" The thug immediately pressed a button and pointed it at Vladd. But there was no reaction. The punk was surprised.
"How come you can't?"
Vladd racked his brain, if that punk found out that the remote couldn't work because the battery was dead, he would definitely get angry or insist on asking for a battery charger. Vladd also argued, "You have to learn first what button to press. For example, Freeze, makes people stiff. So, you have to intend to use your mind, so that the tool
can work..."
The punk immediately tried. He pressed the Freeze button, then thought to himself as he aimed at Vladd. And Vladd immediately pretended to be stiff. The punk was happy.
Excited they immediately left. While carrying money and Vladd's magic remote.
Once the situation was safe, Vladd moved home. This is the consequence if you are not careful. Money flew away, his face turned jet blue, and worst of all, his remote disappeared. Actually, the tool was not working, because it had to be recharged again. And only Vladd has a special charger. But whatever, Vladd
very sad. He lost an object he had created that he loved very much. Who is the only helpful friend in his lonely world. Frankly, it's not certain that Vladd can create it again. The tool is the result of experiments from
a sophisticated remote that his mother bought in Japan. Apart from that, now there is no money in my pocket. It was like he had lost everything.
While walking languidly, Vladd explored the trolley. Heading to his distant home. I don't know when I'll get home. For Vladd, this is the most annoying holiday.
While walking under the hot sun, Vladd imagined Papi Eraisuli, his father, who was probably in a meeting while eating at a luxury restaurant in Singapore. Or Mami Smirnov, who is having fun shopping in Hong Kong. Meanwhile, Vladd is miserable in his own country
When his face no longer showed any hope, suddenly up ahead, in the grass, he saw an object. Vladd was shocked. That thing
similar to a remote control. Immediately Vladd ran over. It turns out it's true. That's the remote. Excitedly, he immediately picked it up and cradled it. Apparently the thugs threw away this remote after they felt they couldn't use it. Make it more interesting for them to use Vladd's money instead of those fancy gadgets that don't work. While dancing, Vladd walked home. Now his enthusiasm is rising again.
While he was busy singing, a sedan stopped nearby. From the rear window of the car Marigold's face appeared.
"Vladd? Why are you dancing alone on the side of the road?"
Vladd was shocked and turned around. This was the first time he was really happy to meet Marigold.
"Marigold It's very nice to see you. Can you ride home or not?"
"Why not?" Marigold opened the car door, inviting Vladd to enter. Vladd entered with a very happy face. To the point where he hugged Marigold as a sign of thanks. Marigold was clearly surprised. What happened to this strange child? This was the first time Vladd felt that he actually had lots of friends too.
And it's very useful
