N : Once, in Jakarta, lived a poor couple. Although they were poor, they lived happily for they loved each other dearly. Sadly, they hadn’t had any children yet. Every day, they prayed to God for a child.
M : Oh, God… please give us a child. We promise we will always protect our child. Please answer our prayer. Thank you, God.
N : One day, an evil scientist, Buto Ijo, passed by their house. He hear what they were praying for and came into the house without knocking.
M : AAAAAA who are you?? Thief!!
BI : Excuse me, madam, but I’m a scientist. I know you want to have a child, and I can offer you that, because I have invented “Baby in the Bottle”!!
M : huh?
F : Don’t worry honey, I’ll save youuuu *hits Buto Ijo*
BI : *faints*
F : Are you okay, my dear~?
M : *hits Father* You idiot!
F : What, after all my effort saving you from this criminal??
M : He’s a scientist!
F : Well, your fault: you screamed “Thieeeeeffff”!! And his fault: he looks like a beggar, are you sure he’s a scientist?
M : Look, he has a name tag on his sarung. He said he is selling babies in bottles (?)
F : ….Honey, we don’t have much money….don’t you know how hard I have to work just to feed the two of us..? *cries*
M : *cries too*….I know.. Aha, I know! Let’s take the bottle, leave the house before he wakes up, and move to a new house!
N : And so, as they wanted to have a child so badly, they took the bottle and fled the house, leaving the scientist unconscious. After a few hours…..
BI : Hmm…where am I….hmmm isn’t this the couple’s house? Where are they? What happened to me oh my goat, where is the baby in the bottle??
N : …and the scientist searched all over JaBoDeTaBek for the couple. One year later, he found them— *interrupted*
BI : oh my goat, I’ve been looking for the everywhere and they moved just…just…just next to their previous house?? This is unacceptable!!
N : Buto Ijo stormed into the house and saw a girl, painting cucumbers into gold
BI : Don’t tell me this is my baby in the bottle! What’s she doing?? Hey, what are you doing, girl?
M : AAAAA who are you?? Kidnapper!!!
BI : Shut up! I am Buto Ijo, the scientist who gave you the baby in the bottle. I wanted to give it to you free as a sample, but since you’ve treated me badly from the start, I will take her back!
M : No, please, no, I’m sorryyyy please please please *cries*
TM : mommy..? *cries too*
BI : Fine, I’ll take her back when she turns 17! Mark my words.
N : After telling her husband about what had happened, the couple decided to see a dukun.
M : Please, dukun, help us. Don’t let the evil Buto Ijo take our only daughter *cries*
F : Yes, Dukun, what shall we do? Please help us.. *cries too*
D : Please stop crying. Here is a bag. There are four things inside and a message. They will help your daughter run away from Buto Ijo.
F&M : Thank you..!
N : So the Dukun put four types of charms in the bag, assuming that Buto Ijo was a creature, not a human being. By the way, remember what the girl was doing? She liked painting cucumbers into gold, then sold them every day at the market. People thought she invented a new type of cucumber, so they’re very interested in buying them. Since then, she was called Timun Mas. She made her family rich. On her sweet 17th birthday, her parents gave her the bag from the Dukun as a gift.
F : Timun Mas, promise us that you will bring this bag wherever you go. When you’re in danger, use the things in it one by one.
TM : O-Okay…?
M : Run, Timun, run!!
TM : …?!
N : Confused, Timun Mas did as her parents had told her. Soon enough, Buto Ijo was chasing after her. While running, she remembered her father’s word and reached into the bag. There was a message, but she definitely had little time to read it, so she decided to throw first the first charm she managed to grab: salt
BI : eww?
TM : *reads* Salt, salt, ward off snakes and reptile-like creatures!
BI : hey, I’m not a reptile, how dare you!!
TM : aaaaaa
N : while running, she threw the second item at him
BI : ouch!
TM : *reads* Garlic, garlic please keep vampires away.
BI : Do I look like Edward Cullen to you?? I’m flattered~
TM : aaaaaaaaaa wait wait, third item! A spoon!?
N : *tells Timun Mas* that’s a silver spoon, used to ward off evil spirit. Well, at least you can hit him with that.
TM : *hits Buto Ijo* aaaaaaaa it broke!
BI : arrghh *rubs head* Enough! Face your end!
N : *whispers to Timun Mas*
TM : wait wait, please accept this first. It’s a reward for your succeeding in catching me. I was asked to give it to you
BI : what? *receives and tries to open* A book package..?
N : *takes Timun Mas by the hand and runs*
BOOOOOOOOMMM
TM : Wait, is he dead, is he dead? Oh, I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to kill you..
BI : Ambulance… H-hospital… Take me… there… Please…
Epilogue
N : Timun Mas visited Buto Ijo at CiptoMangunkusumo Hospital. She brought a parcel consists of fresh fruits. Buto Ijo was lying on his bed.
TM : Have you got better yet? Here, I’ve brought you some fruits…
BI : (hoarse voicer) Yeah… Fine… Could’ya help me with this bandage? (tried to undo the bandage around his face)
TM : (comes closer to help him) Oh! Yo-Your face…? You look so adorable, Sir, just like Edward Cullen. I-I… (faints)
N : Actually, the doctors did a plastic surgery on Buto Ijo when they tried to save him from death. Beauty, after all, is very important, isn’t it?
