The hour hand shows at 1 am. Amanda looked agitated in her bed. His eyes were wide open when a little girl called out his name.
"Amanda" whispered the girl in his ear.
Amanda turned her face to the right, looking a smiling little girl.
Amanda tried to get up. "Who are you?" ask Amanda.
"I'm a princess" the little girl replied.
"Whose daughter?" Amanda thought there might be a guest staying at her house.
The little girl smiled. "You want to be my friend?" ask Princess.
Then the Princess held out her little finger towards Amanda.
Amanda who is still confused because she just woke up from sleep, just shut up.
"You right?" princess Whine.
Hearing the Princess' whimper, Amanda became devastated. He nodded, then replied to the princess' pinky speech.
"Yes, I want to." Amanda answered while hooking her little finger to the little princess.
"Promise yes, won't leave me alone?" said the Princess with a clear face.
"Yes, I promise. But it's late at night, you go to bed there. Your mama will be nyariin."
"Mama doesn't love me." The princess looked sad.
Amanda smiled as she stroked the Princess' hair.
"You have to be a good boy, so as not to be scolded by your mama" Amanda said.
"I am innocent. But my mom still doesn't love me." The princess grew sad and started crying.
Amanda hugged the little princess' body. "Tomorrow I'll talk to your mama, so she won't scold you again. Okay?"
"You promise?" ask the Princess expectantly.
"Yes I promise." Amanda let go of her embrace, and asked the Princess to return to her room.
After that, Amanda fell asleep.

The next morning, at the dinner table Amanda saw her mother, grandmother and sister eating breakfast.
"Break breakfast here first," take Grandma to Amanda.
My grandmother loved her two grandchildren. It was the grandmother who always used Amanda as a place to complain when her heart was troubled.
Amanda sat in the wrong chair, Grandma held out a plate to Amanda. "Thank you, Grandma." Amanda.
Before taking the fried rice from a bowl, Amanda was frowning like she was looking for something.
"Why are you, Manda?" ask the mother who noticed Amanda's attitude.
"Wasn't the breakfast, ma'am?" ask Amanda.
"Guests? No guests" answered Marnita in surprise.
"Huh?" Amanda was no less surprised.
"Who are you, brother?" ask Micah, Amanda's sister who is still in high school.
"Well, aren't there any guests in the house?" ask Amanda again.
"There's no one else here, son. It's just us-we're as usual" the grandmother assured Amanda.
"So why the hell?" micah asked while looking at Amanda's pale face.
"Looks like a sultry sister huh. His older brother worked until late anyway," continued Micah.
"You're home from work until that night, Manda? What time do you work until what time?" Mirna asked.
"The more the night, the more crowded the visitors. So it has to be waited for, right."
Amanda's thoughts drifted on last night's incident, her encounter with the Princess. "Who is Princess?" ask in the heart.
"Sister." Micah called out to his dreamy-looking brother.
Amanda looks. "Yes" he answered.
"Morning is daydreaming" Micah said. "I went to school with my sister, yes," Micah continued, and was replied with a nod by Amanda.

On the way, Amanda recounted all the events she had experienced to her sister Micah.
Starting from the events in the restaurant to the events of his meeting with a little girl named Princess.
"Aren't you sure you weren't dreaming last night?" micah asked him about Amanda's story.
"Engga. Brother is sure. Even big brother dived at him, and squirmed clearly he came out of the room."
Micah was stunned for a moment. "You can, huh?" he said half a murmur.
"And strangely enough, how could it be so close together?" Amanda expressed her feelings.
"Yes yes. Usually if it happens like that, at most times yes, sister." Micah confirmed his brother's speech.
"Eit, wait, wait!" Suddenly Micah cried out to Amanda. Amanda stopped the car suddenly.
"Why stop?" asked Micah in wonder.
Amanda, who had just been shocked by her sister's call, asked back, "Lha, that's what you were yelling at?"
"It's not that, I mean. about sister's story." Micah was a little hesitant because he had made his brother wrong.
"You are" Amanda grumbled as she drove back to the car.
"What the hell?" ask Amanda for a little bit of curiosity.
"That's the girl you met at the restaurant, why did she ask for help, huh? Meaning what?" mikha asked with a serious face. Amanda shrugged her shoulders.
"Did something bad happen to her?" continued Micah.
"It could be," Amanda replied briefly.
"Try my sister asked the employees there, how do you know there was ever an event there," Micah proposed enthusiastically.
"Ah justin ajalah. Maybe because I'm new, so bullied. As a form of introduction." Amanda answered casually, she tried not to over-enlarge the problem.
