Doki-Doki?

“What?! What do you mean?!” Alfi asked in shock.

“You are Alfa! The protector of the world I have been looking for!” Kartika explained.

Alfi is confused about what the hell is going on. Then he unbuttons his jacket and takes it off. Now he just wears a plain white T-shirt (Don”t worry, he still wears his jeans.)

He tries to take a breath for a while and asks the bowing Kartika. “What do you mean? Please tell me!”

“Raise your head Kartika, please tell me what happened!” He added.

Kartika gets up and back to her seat before him. Kartika still doesn’t believe what she has seen back there. She grabs the cup before her and has a drink trying to calm her down.

“Well...” She said putting the cup back. “There”s a prophecy from the ancestors, once, back to the centuries and a dozen years ago....”

"Curse you, stupid author." Alfi thought irritated.

“It”s said that our country, Indonesia will be invaded. All innocent and non-innocent folks will be killed with no mercy.” Kartika explained.

“Wait,” Alfi said. “You said that I was world protector right? But, why they attack Indonesia only?” He asked.

“They attack Indonesia for its rich natural resources to make a mass weapon. But, there”s no further information about the materials.” Kartika explained.

“Are we going to be colonized by Dutch again? (Indonesia once was colonized by Dutch for 350 years.)′ Alfi asked.

“No,” Kartika replied briefly.

“Alright, go on,” Alfi replied

“Thus, it”s said that the doer behind this invasion is a group of folks with polka dot cloak whose objective to build their very own Utopia,” Kartika explained.

“Wait, polka dot cloak? What a weird enemy.” Alfi said confused.

“So you are,” Kartika replied calmly.

Alfi remains silent in an irritated state.

“Well,” Kartika said. “The only one who can defeat them is you, Alfi, a weirdo who uses an iron bracelet as his weapon. Your fate is to protect this world.” Kartika explained.

“Did you mean my bracelet?!” Alfi exclaimed pointing to his bracelet which is put on his right wrist. “This bracelet is so priceless for me. I will never use it as my weapon! Just cut the crap! Megumi is really important in my life!” Alfi said stroking his bracelet gently and gently kissing it full of pure love (disgusting!)

“Disgusting,” Kartika said in disgust. “I am getting worried since our enemy is on the move now.” She said seriously.

“How do you know?” Alfi asked in wonder.

“Didn't you see it? There are a lot of corruption cases, separatism cases, racism cases, and such? They did all of them! They use their power to control people”s minds and have them do as they wish.” Kartika explained.

“But, how do I defeat them? How can I save the world without knowing my power?” Alfi asked.

“Did you remember the light that came from your bracelet when you tried to save me?” Kartika asked.

Alfi nodded.

“That”s your power. Your bracelet is your Jowa or the source of your power. Jowa is a very special thing for one”s life which has been charged by the owner”s wild imagination. The more meaningful the thing in his life is, the more power it holds. The wilder his imagination is, the stronger his power can be.” Kartika explained.

Alfi is paying attention to Kartika”s explanation with a huge passion.

“My Jowa is this pendant,” Kartika said holding her sapphire pendant tightly. “This pendant is more than a thousand years old and has been passed down for generations, the chosen one precisely.” She said.

Alfi strokes his bracelet gently.

“The user of the power must have a wild imagination, more than commoners have. He has to have gone through special steps: eternal happiness, eternal sadness, eternal hatred, eternal love, and darkest despair.” Kartika said. “I think you have gone through those steps, but too bad, you still can”t control it.” She said.

“I think so....” Alfi replied briefly. “I have gone through endless misery. I planned to go without knowing where to go at first; I didn't care what would happen to me either.” He said.

Kartika looks sad.

So does Alfi.

“If you don”t mind...” Kartika said. “What made you think so?” Kartika asked.

“Let”s just say that I have no reason to live in this world anymore,” Alfi explained.

Kartika remains silent with a sad look on her beautiful face.

Suddenly Alfi pats Kartika”s head gently. “Don”t worry, I know you have been looking for me and I am sorry for troubling your family. I promise I’ll live longer to accomplish this task.” Alfi said gently stroking Kartika”s hair.

Kartika starts pouring tears.

“Why are you crying?” Alfi asked gently.

“What are you talking about?!” Kartika asked slapping Alfi”s arm which had fun stroking her head.

Kartika wipes her tears dry. “It”s OK if you don’t want to. You may leave and die. I am just enough to defeat them.′ Kartika said in a grumpy state.

Alfi laughs and smiles stroking her hair gently.

“What?!” Kartika said in a grumpy state.

“Sorry, I am not interested in dying anymore. Thank you.” Alfi said smiling at her.

“For what?” Kartika asked grumpily.

“For giving me a new reason to live in this world,” Alfi answered smiling at her.

Kartika”s face turns red that she”s speechless. So does Alfi.

Alfi takes a breath and says, “By the way, what is the name of this power?”

“Doki-Doki,” Kartika answered briefly.

“What?!! Doki-Doki?!” Alfi exclaimed in shock.

“Yeah, what”s wrong?” Kartika asked calmly.

“Isn’t there any weirder name than that?!!” Alfi exclaimed irritated.

“It suits a weirdo like you perfectly. Besides, the ancestors are the ones who named it. Doki-Doki in an ancient language (Why so serious? I”m just making up you know?), means something overflowing endlessly. Doki-Doki is our pride! And you are our leader! A small group that will save the world is named Wibu led by a super weirdo.′ Kartika explained calmly.

“I”m not a weirdo! Anyway, why”s Wibu (AKA WEEABOO, the one who is interested in Japanese stuff like anime, figurine, hentai, and such. It”s called Otaku in Japan and considered trash. If Otaku is trash, so WEEABOO is the lowest class in society.)? Doki-Doki is weird enough and now”s Wibu. The ancestors are weirdos in every way! ′ Alfi said irritated.

“They are not, but you are.” Kartika insulted him calmly.

“Hey, you stupid author! Why the hell did you make such a story!!!!!!!” Alfi yells at me ignoring Kartika”s presence.

“Now you talk to yourself again. What a weirdo.” Kartika insulted Alfi again.

“I”m not!” Alfi yelled at her irritated.

These 2 weirdos keep fighting over something unimportant. Suddenly, they hear a loud explosion that the whole room is shaking, but good grief, they are just fine.

“What was that?!” Alfi asked shocked.

“Wait!” Kartika said untying her pendant and pressing the sapphire.

She sees Gedung Sate (Literally meaning: Sate building but the name is Gedung Sate anyway, Sate/satay is meat skewers, commonly chicken or lamb with peanut or sweet soya sauce dressing. Just Google it) which has been changed. The building which is known as Gedung Sate is covered by grilled meat, looks like mixed of chicken and lamb. Hmm, I”m hungry...

“No way! Polka dot cloaked group! They are invading Gedung Sate!” Kartika said in a shocking state.

“It looks like a mountain of a skewer. By looking at it, I”m getting hungry.” Alfi said strong his stomach.

“Cut the crap, you idiot! We have to stop it immediately!” Kartika said embedding the sapphire of her pendant to the middle of the carpet, to the motive precisely.

Suddenly a giant Ayam Jago bowl (Just Google Mangkuk Ayam Jago) pops up. It”s so huge as a mountain. The bowl has a rooster prow on it and a big and bushy rooster tail set on the rear.

“Come on Alfi.” Kartika asked him going through that giant bowl (there”s no door, she just entered it. You must know what I mean.)

Alfi”s still there admiring what he sees right now.

“Come on Alfi! We have to go immediately!” Kartika said coming out from the bowl.

“Awesome!!!!” Alfi exclaimed admiring it. “Hey, can I print that rooster prow? I want to change it into eagle head!” He said in excitement.

“Whom the hell you want to paint?!!” The prow yelled at him.

“Cool! It speaks!” Alfi said impressed.

“Of course, I do you, lowlife human!” The prow yelled at him.

“Hey, can I call you Pinto?” Alfi asked him passionately.

“It”s a chicken, not a horse! Hurry abroad, you weirdo!” Kartika said irritated.

“Pinto? Tee hee, I like it!” The prow said giggling. “Alfi eh? Come in as Kartika did! It”s ok, just go ahead!” He said letting him in.

“Ok pinto!” Alfi responded in excitement grabbing his jacket and putting it on as usual (just look at the picture), then he runs through it (Literally).

"I just knew that this cock is as stupid as this weirdo," Kartika thought irritated.

Entering Pinto, he doesn’t believe what he sees now. He”s in a wide room. There”s an elevator on his left, a 5-star restaurant on his right, and a front office with 2 beauties standing with a smile on their faces before him.

“What do you think?” Kartika asked friendly.

“Awesome! It”s so cool!” Alfi exclaimed in excitement. What a loser.

“It”s one of the features of Doki-Doki. You can use your Iru to create something on your mind in a jiffy. You can make the entrance, physical form, facility, and such as you will. You know what? There are 50 floors, 5000000 rooms, a swimming pool, a 5-star gourmet restaurant, and a basement in Pinto. And each room can adjust your needs as well. For instance, you want to play games and you enter one room and voila! You’re in an arcade!” Kartika explained.

“What is Iru?” Alfi asked.

“Iru is the light that your Jowa creates. Like the time you tried to save me.” Kartika answered.

“What an amazing power,” Alfi said admiring it.

“Right!” Kartika said in a good mood. “Let”s check-in!” She asked.

“Check-in?!!!! Did you mean we are going to....” Alfi said in excitement. His heart beats quickly as ever.

Kartika hits Alfi”s head.

“Of course not you moron,” She said irritated.

“Well, I have no money,” Alfi said showing his thin wallet off.

“You don”t need to pay. Just write your name on the guest list.” Kartika told him.

Alfi writes his name on the guest list.

“By writing your name on the list, you’re registered on Doki-Doki insurance which means you can inherit your power to your descendant if you want to,” Kartika explained.

“What if I don”t marry anyone?” Alfi asked. “I have married Megumi already!” He added.

“Moron,” Kartika said irritated walking to the elevator followed by Alfi.

“By the way Kartika...” They heard Pinto”s voice. “Who is this guy?” Pinto asked.

“Oh sorry, I forgot to introduce you. He is Alfa.” Kartika answered introducing him to him (Dang, another dangling! I mean, Kartika introducing Alfi to Pinto not Pinto to Alfi, though she will introduce Pinto to Alfi. Well, go on.)

“What the heck?! Your Highness Alfa?! For real?” Pinto exclaims in surprise.

“The one and only,” Alfi said proudly.

“No wonder we can get along so easily,” Pinto said giggling.

“What do you mean?” Alfi asked in wonder.

“Pinto has been accompanying my family since the first generation. Pinto is only able to get along with people who have a pure heart.” Kartika said.

“Well, Kartika is the only one left. She”s the only one who can summon me to find you, Your Highness.” Pinto added.

Kartika looks blue and Alfi notices it. She holds the sapphire on her pendant tightly.

“Kartika...” Alfi said. “I”m sorry.” He said awkwardly.

Kartika just smiles at him and pulls him to the top. They both walk to the nearest rail enjoying the view of the city under the moonlight.

“Alfi,” Kartika called him.

“Yes?” Alfi replied.

“Show me your power,” Kartika asked.

“Ok, but how?” Alfi asked.

“Touch your bracelet with full of your feeling that makes it so important in your life,” Kartika explained.

Alfi follows Kartika”s hint. He touches his bracelet tightly.

“Remember your precious memory, happiest memory, saddest memory, and your most painful memory,” Kartika explained.

Alfi tries to remember them sequentially that he drops his tears. In his consciousness, he is in the dark with no one around. What he can hear is a mysterious voice that says "Why do you live in this world?" His conscious screams hysterically as if he”s being tortured with no mercy.

Suddenly a light comes out from his bracelet. Alfi slowly opens his eyes and he”s surprised to see what came out of his bracelet.

There”s a beauty as big as an index finger standing on his bracelet.

She”s really beautiful. She wears a beautiful red dress, she has pigtailed blonde hair and smooth white skin.

“Hello, My dear Alfi.” She greeted him warmly.

Alfi drops his tears more.

“Me...Gu...Mi?? I...it”s you, right? Megumi? My precious Megumi?” Alfi said in a shocking state.

“Yes, honey.” She answered smiling at him warmly and hoping from the bracelet and turning herself into as big as Alfi.

Alfi then hugs her tightly and cries a lot. Megumi hugs him tightly as well.

"His life must be pathetic." Kartika thought, feeling sorry for him.

“We are here!” Pinto said.

“So fast!” Alfi said still hugging Megumi.

“Look!” Kartika pointing a guy in a polka dot cloak standing in front of Gedung Sate.

Alfi sees the guy and says. “Who”s that?”

“That guy is our opponent,” Kartika replied.

“What kind of opponent is that?!” Alfi exclaimed shocked.

“As I said before, as weird as you,” Kartika responded calmly. “Let”s get off! ′ Kartika said taking Alfi”s hand.

“Alright,” Alfi said trying to jump from the rail.

“Wait!” Pinto said preventing Alfi to do so. “Let me do it.” He said emitting light from his beak.

The light catches Alfi and Kartika (Megumi has come back to Alfi”s bracelet of course.) and sends them to the ground.

Alfi and Kartika run toward that guy.

“Who are you?!” Kartika yelled at that weird guy.

The guy puts off his cloak and he looks like an old and fat guy with a thick mustache and wears a Madura (one of the ethics in Indonesia) red and white striped T-shirt.

“Madura guy?” Alfi said in confusion state.

“This building is supposed to belong to Madura! Why the hell is it doing in Bandung?!” He said in anger with his Madura accent.

“I agree.” Alfi agreed.

“Why the hell do you agree with him?!” Kartika yelled at him.

“I have been wondering since I was a boy, why the name is Gedung Sate? (Scroll up for the details, I don”t want to waste my time to retype it and waste so many words, oh I just did) It”s not a satay restaurant nor such anyway. So what the heck is this building supposed to be? ′ Alfi explained.

“Yeah! He got the point!” That guy added.

“Hey pops! May I ask for some satays? I”m hungry.” Alfi asked him stroking his stomach.

“Sure, sure! Which satay? What dressing?” The guy welcomed him with a great taste of hospitality.

“Chicken satay with peanut dressing and sweet soya sauce grilled it with lontong (long rice ball). Oh, don”t forget to add rice with soya sauce too.′ Alfi ordered in excitement.

“Ok! Just call me Taye (It”s a common word that Madurese (is that how I say it in English?) says every day just like Hanamaru (Love Live Sun Shine) says "Zura" so often. But, believe me, the name is pronounced differently.)′ He replied swinging his Satay fan (braided thin wooden used as a fan to cook satay, well... Just Google it) to the sky and a plate of Satay Alfi ordered feel down to Alfi”s both hands.

“Awesome!!!!!!” Alfi impressed.

“Easy,” Taye said blushing.

“Hey, Megumi! You have to try this! It”s more delicious than the one near our house.” Alfi offered Megumi.

“Feed me!” Megumi said in a spoiling voice.

“Say aah (believe me, it”s not like what you think.)′ Alfi said feeding her.

“Oh, so you’re Doki-Doki user eh?” Taye asked.

“Yup, are you a Doki-Doki user too?” Alfi asked in excitement. “You’re so cool that you can use Doki-Doki to cook such delicious Satay!” He added in impressed.

“Stop it, you make me blushed,” Taye said blushing.

Those 2 weirdos are having a good time in front of that Gedung sate (got the twist eh? Come on; don”t make me explain it again.)

Kartika and Pinto look confused about what the hell is happening there.

“Yup, so that”s true, Doki-Doki users are weirdos,” Kartika said irritated.

“Yup, especially His Highness Alfi,” Pinto added. “And you too, Kartika.” He added tempting her.

“Alfi! Kill him quick!” Kartika yelled at him so loudly.

“Just a sec Kartika! Let me finish this!” Alfi said with his mouth full of meat hurrying to eat his Satay.

Suddenly, some wooden sticks look falling from the sky. Those sticks look falling aiming Alfi.

Knowing that Alfi dodges them successfully.

“Hey, what the heck?! You made me lose my satay!” Alfi said irritated.

“So, you're the one called Alfa eh? The leader of Wibu right?” Taye asked in a different voice.

“Yeah,” Alfi replied briefly.

“If that so, I will have to kill you,” Taye said. “Arang! (Coal)′ Taye exclaimed launching hot coals to Alfi from his Palm.

Alfi dodges them. Taye keeps launching those hot coals like crazy. Seeing that, Alfi runs as fast as possible trying to die those coals.

“Kartika! How do I defeat him?!” Alfi exclaimed in panic.

“Use your bracelet!” Kartika answered.

“Never! I refuse to break it! I love this bracelet as I love Megumi!” Alfi exclaimed irritated.

“You don”t need to break it! You just have to remember something that makes your bracelet so important in your life, and when it”s shining, imagine something that”s helpful to defeat him!” Kartika explained.

“Wait, it”s imagination fight, right? How can I win? The two of us must imagine a way to attack and guard right?” Alfi said (he”s still running anyway.)

“You just need to destroy his Jowa!” Kartika replied.

“Where is it?!” Alfi exclaimed in a panic because the sum of the coals is getting increased and they are launching very fast.

“His Jowa is...” When Kartika is going to tell Alfi where Taye”s Jowa is, suddenly Kartika is imprisoned in a giant satay.

“Kartika!” Alfi shocked.

Suddenly, the hot coals hit Alfi successfully that he falls painfully.

“Your Highness! Kartika!” Pinto exclaimed flying in the air.

“Alfi!!!!” Megumi exclaimed in fear. “Get up dear! Alfi!!!!” She keeps trying to wake him up.

“Shut up!” Taye exclaimed walking towards Alfi. “How pathetic! Cut the crap already! World protector my ass! You’re just a lowlife stupid brat! How dare you oppose us, Waku-Waku!” Taye insulted Alfi.

“What a weird name,” Alfi said resisting the pain he suffers.

“Shut up!” Taye yelled at him and kicks Alfi that he is thrown away. “Too bad, you and your girlfriend will be a welcome statue for my palace. Farewell, Your Highness Alfa.” He said launching hot coals to him.

Suddenly, Alfi”s gone and he comes to do to counter-attack by hitting Taye”s head with his bigger arm which has been layered by his Iru which is a mere silver light. Alfi hits him strongly that Taye”s head gets stuck in the ground.

Alfi is standing right behind Taye who is trying to put out his head from the ground.

Then, Taye successfully sets his head free; he turns his head and sees the berserk Alfi.

The look of his face is fearsome with his light hand which is ready to beat Taye up anytime.

“Don”t you dare to hurt my friend!” He said in anger. “Set her free!” He yelled at Taye.

“Never!” Taye refused.

“Then, you leave me no choice,” Alfi said ready to beat Taye up. “I don”t care what will happen to you!” Alfi threatened Taye.
