Chapter 16 Friends From Outer Space
THE COMPUTER in Vladd's room received an e-mail. There was a deep voice from the speakers that alerted Vladd. "You've got mail!" But Vladd himself didn't hear the message. He was busy lying in bed, reading a book about space, and using a Walkman. The sound of the upbeat music leaked slightly from his headphones, making his head shake.
His mother, who called Vladd from her room, was only answered by the answering machine. Smirnov was annoyed, then left a message, "Vladd, this is Mami! Papa and Mami were invited to dinner tonight by Papa's important relations. He brought a child your age. So tonight we are having dinner at Hailai with them. Don't be too late, because you were also invited ! And wear nice clothes! Mami wants to go to the salon first! Bye!"
After that, Smirnov turned off his cellphone and said to Maryati, "Mar, please look after Vladd. Don't let him go anywhere. At five o'clock he must have a shower. We want to eat out." Maryati nodded respectfully. "Okay, Nya."
"Now I'll go first. Don't let anything go wrong!"
Smirnov then hurried away. As soon as we reached the living room, he appeared
Pak Bangke with Perry Lontoh and James Raharja. They were delivered
Security guard Lukijo. Smirnov was shocked.
"Sorry, Nya. This is Vladd's homeroom teacher and his friends. They said it was important...," said Lukijo.
Mr. Bangke nodded. While grinning, he stretched out his hand to introduce himself.
"Good afternoon, ma'am. Sorry to disturb you. I want to talk for a moment about the actions of your son, Vladd. I brought two witnesses, my students, James Rahafja and Perry Lontoh..."
Smirnov furrowed his eyebrows and looked impatient, because he was in a hurry to leave. "Yes, what's wrong? Uh, please sit down first, sir... Come on,
Brothers..."
"Thank you. I just wanted to report that Vladd made us panic while camping. He suddenly disappeared," said Mr. Bangke. "That's right, Auntie. I was in the security section and I was confused. I thought Vladd was eaten by a wild animal," added Perry.
"Didn't know, Vladd had already gone home first," continued James. Smirnov was stunned. "Really?"
Mr. Bangke agreed. "That's right, ma'am. Vladd came home without saying goodbye to us.
Even though we have asked Vladd not to go anywhere..."
Smirnov was stunned. "Oh, so Vladd is naughty, huh?"
"Yes. He made us all confused, Auntie. It would be better for that naughty child to be punished... Or, just leave it to us, Auntie. Let us punish him," said Perry vehemently, as if he had caught wind.
Smirnov shook his head. "Eng, sorry, but I can't punish Vladd. I and the people in my house were very lucky that Vladd came home first. At that time my husband and I went to Singapore, and our house
got robbed. There are five criminals. It was Vladd who thwarted the robbery. So we are very grateful that Vladd came home first..." -
Perry, James, and Mr. Bangke were shocked.
"What? Vladd thwarted a robbery?" Perry glared.
"That skinny kid?" James glared too.
"How is that possible, ma'am?" Mr Bangke was curious.
"I don't understand either. I'm in Singapore. But my helpers say so." Smirnov then glanced at his watch. "Sorry, I have an appointment outside. Is the problem resolved?"
Mr. Bangke gasped, then stood up. "Oh yes. That's it. Sorry, we disturbed..." Perry and James also stood up.
Meanwhile in his room, Vladd didn't know that he had guests.
He casually put down his book and got up from sleep.
his sleep. When his eyes fell on the computer, he immediately...
glared. He hurriedly opened the headphones he was wearing.
It turns out that the e-mail that came in earlier was a message from Spaceboy... Vladd
rush to read.
"Hello, Vladd? How are you?
I have succeeded in learning your language. I'm still in your solar system, and I want to play on your planet again. Wait, yes, I'm coming. Definitely a surprise! Surprise!!! SPACEBOY" Vladd immediately said yes! "Fun! Spaceboy is coming!!!"
Vladd's joy had not yet finished, suddenly via a transport device Spaceboy appeared in his room. Vladd was clearly surprised and happy. "Spaceboy! How come it appeared so quickly?"
"Yes, sir. What do I say? Is it smooth or not?"
"So smooth! You're great, Spaceboy!"
"Yes, because I study using a computer which is transferred directly to my brain. That's how I study on my planet. You don't need to read books, but all the data can be directly transferred to the brain via sophisticated tools. So while you sleep, your brain is filled," explained Spaceboy. . "Uh, really sophisticated."
"Okay, now take me on a tour of your planet.... I can't wait
want to know more!"
Vladd agrees. And they were forced to run away. Can't go through the front door, afraid of being banned from the house. Vladd took his backpack and the remote.
They descended using a rope from Vladd's bedroom window on the second floor. After that, Vladd asked Spaceboy to wait, while he sneaked out to get his bike in the garage. Piggybacking Spaceboy, Vladd passed the guard post in front of the house which was empty, because Security Guard Lukijo was on duty inside.
Vladd rode a bicycle with Spaceboy through the city, pointing left and right, like a guide explaining to a tourist. That's when a jeep drove by, carrying Perry and James. James immediately saw Vladd and Spaceboy who were cycling. "Per... Per... look at that bastard!" James screamed.
Perry looked in the direction James was pointing. "Wow, yes. What bad luck, we went to his house, he was just hanging out. Who was he with?"
"You know! His friend is really strange. Wearing silver clothes! Oh, his skin is silver too!!! Same as Vladd, you know. Crazy about watching Star Wars!"
Then the two naughty children started having fun. James gave a code to his driver to follow Vladd's bike. Perry took out his slingshot, and aimed at the head of Spaceboy who was sitting on the pillion. PLAQUE!!!
Spaceboy screamed, until he fell to the asphalt.
Vladd was shocked. As soon as he turned around, James had aimed the slingshot at him and-NOOK!!!-hit Vladd's body.
Vladd was annoyed, immediately got off his bike. "Why are you always annoying?"
Perry and James even burst out laughing, singing, "I'm a creep... I'm a weirdo... what the hell I'm doing here... I'm not belonging here..."
"Want to know why we're doing this? After all, you're weird. Why are you hanging out with stupid kids?" James said, pointing at Spaceboy. "Use all the powder..."
James mistook Spaceboy's silver skin for powder.
"You bastard, hahahaha...."
"Sniff? What kind of snout?" Spaceboy asked in surprise as he got up from his fall. "He's not a bastard! He's a smart kid from outer space!" defended Vladd.
Perry and James looked at each other. Stand still for a moment. Then simultaneously burst out laughing. The driver, who had been silent until now, was now laughing. Vladd is annoyed. He then pointed the remote at Perry, James, and the driver one by one while pressing the keep button.
And Perry, James, and the driver continued to laugh out loud, clutching their stomachs and tears coming out of their eyes. Suddenly the police passed by. He saw James' car stopped in a restricted area. The police immediately approached James' car. Meanwhile, Vladd hurriedly asked Space Boy to get on the pillion and left.
The policeman stuck his head out of the car window. Astonished to see the three people laughing out loud.
"Good afternoon, sir. Sorry for disturbing you. You stopped in a prohibited place," said the police politely but firmly.
The driver, James, and Perry just looked at the police, but couldn't stop their laughter. The police were clearly furious at being laughed at like that. "Sorry, sir. Can you show me your driver's license and STNK?" said the policeman again in a slightly offended tone.
The driver laughed even louder. While holding your stomach.
The police officer was clearly furious. "What's so funny? I said, show me your driver's license and STNK!"
Perry and James even laughed again.
Finally the policeman looked at the two children angrily. "Don't play around, okay? You can't laugh at the authorities! Come on, everyone go to the police post!!!" And the three humans laughed even louder.....
Vladd and Spaceboy have arrived at the supermarket. They came in and bought candy. The cashiers and several shoppers in the supermarket looked in surprise at Spaceboy. But they just thought, the child was just brave enough to go out with his strange make-up. What's more, they don't bother anymore with the behavior of today's children which is difficult for them to understand. Maybe the child dressed up like that to welcome the new millennium year, which had an all-metal theme.
Vladd and Spaceboy were running along the supermarket aisles. At the chocolate counter, Spaceboy took a lot of chocolate, then took it to the cashier. The cashier was stunned, looking at the strange Spaceboy, and the brown one, alternately.
"You didn't get scolded by your mother for eating so much chocolate?" asked the cashier.
"My mother is far away... millions of kilometers from here. On a mothership near the Planet Pluto," answered Spaceboy innocently.
The cashier just shook his head, thinking Spaceboy was bragging.
"Bad boy," he grumbled.
Vladd also paid the price for the chocolate.
In a shady city park, and slightly on a plateau, so you can see the cars passing by on the street, Vladd and Spaceboy sat together while drinking chocolate. Spaceboy eats
hungrily, while Vladd took out his Walkman and put on his headphones. Then his head swayed.
Spaceboy looked at Vladd in surprise. Then asked, "What are you doing?"
Vladd opened his headphones. "What?"
"What are you doing?"
"Here, listen to the song. The cassette is Sapi'i, my friend, I missed it. Dangdut song. It's delicious..."
Vladd put headphones on Spaceboy's ears. Then a dangdut song was heard. Spaceboy's face immediately brightened.
"Oh, the song is great." Cash Spaceboy dancing in a strange style. Vladd was stunned. He could only shake his head at Spaceboy's actions.
As the sun rose higher, Vladd became thirsty.
"Spaceboy, you wait here first, okay? I want to buy a drink. Don't go anywhere," said Vladd.
But Spaceboy is ignorant. Because he couldn't hear Vladd's words. He even continued to enjoy dancing.
Vladd approached his bicycle and immediately left.
When Spaceboy turned around, Vladd was gone.
Space boy wonders. He called Vladd. "Vladd! Vladd? Where are you going?"
Spaceboy looks around, but Vladd isn't there. At the side of the road, a bus stopped. The conductor offered Spaceboy a ride. Spaceboy nodded. He got on the bus. Then taken away.
At that time at Vladd's house, Maryati was passing through the living room carrying a tray containing a glass of milk chocolate, croissant bread and other snacks. Maryati wanted to deliver the food to Vladd's room. OK, it's tea time. Maryati didn't know that Vladd wasn't in her room at that time. In fact, he had been very careful since earlier so that Vladd didn't go anywhere, according to his master's instructions. In front of Vladd's room, Maryati knocked.
"Mas Vladd... This is Maryati. Madam said, this afternoon you should have tea time. So that your stomach ulcers don't recur!"
No answer was heard. Maryati placed the tray in front of Vladd's bedroom door. Then knocking again. "Mas Vlaaadd? Mas Vladd?"
Still no answer. There are no signs of life. Maryati was worried. Then try to open the door. But what sounded instead was an alarm. Wheezing-wheezing...! Maryati was beyond shocked. Maryati then shouted for Narsakip. "Narsakip!!! Naaaar!!!"
A second later Narsakip appeared with Lukijo the security guard. They thought there was another robbery, so Lukijo appeared with his security equipment, while Narsakip and his gardening tools. Aunt Zuleha followed behind him, excitedly carrying cooking utensils. "What's wrong, Mar? Thief? Robber?" Lukijo exclaimed.
Maryati shook her head. "No. That brat set another alarm. I knocked, there was no reaction. Until the alarm went off, there was also no response from inside. I was afraid there was something wrong with Vladd."
"So what? Do you want to break in?" Lukijo challenged enthusiastically. "A moment...."
Maryati then signaled to Aunt Zulea. Aunt Zuleha nodded in understanding. Not long after, the front of Vladd's room was filled with the sound of a kitchen orchestra. Compact duet Maryati-Bik Zuleha
it became even busier, plus the sound of Lukijo's baton banging on the door. Narsakip can't lose. The lawnmower opened and closed loudly. His voice was heart-wrenching. They made a lot of noise so that Vladd would wake up and come out. But still no reaction.
"Stop, stooppp!"
Suddenly the reckless orchestra stopped. Maryati put her ear to Vladd's bedroom door. Quiet. There wasn't any sound. Only the sound of the alarm keeps going off. "Smashed?" Lukijo was getting impatient. Maryati nodded. The orblak (aka the people behind) took steps to break in. As soon as they were ready to break in, Maryati shouted again, "Stoooooop!!!"
Everyone immediately stopped motion, standing stiffly in their positions. "What else is there, Mar?"
"It's crazy, if we break it in, the door will be damaged. Who wants to take a pay cut to replace it?" Everyone shook their heads.
"So, let's take a peek first from outside... from the window... You peek,
Narsakip!" Maryati ordered.
Narsakip went straight to the garden, towards the bottom of Vladd's bedroom window. And Narsakip screamed in a shrill voice, to see the window of Vladd's room open. There was a rope hanging down. Vladd is missing?
Maryati, Lukijo, and Zuleha, who had rushed over, also screamed. Meanwhile, Vladd had returned to the park again carrying two bottles of drink: Vladd was surprised to see that Spaceboy was not there. Where is he? Vladd calls out to Spaceboy. By then Spaceboy was far from the park.
And he met two criminals who were breaking into a bank. Because of his innocence, Spaceboy thought that these criminals were people in trouble.
"What are you doing?" Spaceboy asked when he saw the criminals again trying hard to open the lock. "Can I help?" The thugs were shocked, and shouted, "Who are you?"
"I'm Spaceboy. I want to help you guys. You guys want to come in, okay?
Lost the key?" Then without prompting, Spaceboy immediately
pointed his finger at the bank wall. Through his inner energy, suddenly
suddenly the wall burst open. Of course the two criminals were shocked mixed together
excited. Without further delay they immediately went in and took it
escape the safe.
"Thanks, huh?"
As the two criminals fled, the bank alarm blared. Not long after, the police car arrived. Spaceboy is immediately arrested!
As soon as he received the report that Vladd was missing, Smirnov immediately went home and became angry. All his servants bowed before him.
"How could Vladd be missing? Maryati! Where is your responsibility? I already told you. Don't do anything wrong. Master wants to invite you to dinner!!!" said Smirnov irritably.
"S-sorry, ma'am..." Maryati bowed her head deeply.
"You again, Lukijo! Your job is to maintain security. Why did Vladd disappear?" Lukijo frowned.
"Now, let's report to the police. We say, Vladd was kidnapped! Anyway, everything has to be done before Master comes home. Understand???" Everyone nodded. "Hurry up!!!!" Everyone dispersed.
At the police station, Spaceboy is being questioned. The police who interrogated were overwhelmed because they thought Spaceboy was a stubborn brat. For example, when asked how old he was, because calculations on Spaceboy's planet were different from those on Earth, Spaceboy answered, "Four thousand years!" Who isn't shocked? Finally, via telepathy, Spaceboy summoned Vladd. Vladd is coming soon. Spaceboy thought, if Vladd comes, things can be sorted out. The police were also relieved, because Vladd wasn't as strange as Spaceboy.
"Spaceboy? What's wrong? Where have you been?"
The policeman replied annoyed, "This is your friend? Just so you know, your friend just broke into a bank!" Vladd was shocked. "Breaking a bank?"
Spaceboy also explained the problem. The police don't believe it. "But I'm sure he's right, sir. This child is a prodigy," defended Vladd. "What's miraculous? Is it really Joshua?" "Suer, sir," Vladd insisted.
"If it's really magical, now where are the criminals who actually break into banks?" asked the police. "A moment." Vladd then said to Spaceboy, "Spaceboy, where is that criminal? Can you take him to SLM?
Spaceboy nodded. Vladd breathed a sigh of relief.
Spaceboy closed his eyes, like someone in meditation. He focused his concentration.
Vladd and the police looked tense and confused. Then, through his inner strength, Spaceboy was suddenly able to present the two criminals at the police station. Complete with stolen car and safe. The criminal was surprised, because suddenly they were already at the police station. The police were also surprised when suddenly a car appeared in the middle of the office. Like David Copperfiled's illusion.
The two criminals were immediately arrested along with evidence of the robbery.
Meanwhile, Spaceboy is freed.
But the experience made Spaceboy extremely tired. When walking out of the P011S1 office, Spaceboy said goodbye. "Sunning like that used up a lot of my energy, Vladd. I have to go home, I have to eat more energy on the plane. I'll just take you to your room, okay?" Vladd nodded. They separated.
And a second later, Vladd suddenly appeared in his room.
At the same time two policemen arrived at Vladd's house.
The two police immediately wanted to check Vladd's room.
"But, the room couldn't be opened. There was an alarm," said Maryati.
"Okay, let's just break it in!" decided Smirnov.
Smirnov, Maryati, Lukijo, Zuleha, Narsakip, and two policemen went upstairs. In front of Vladd's door, everyone gathered. Again the alarm sounded loudly. "How? Just break it in?" said Lukijo enthusiastically. The police nodded.
All of them, except Smirnov, took action
smash. Once they push together with force
as hard as he could, suddenly the bedroom door opened wide. Vladd indeed
opened the door to his room with his remote. Everyone fell down.
Vladd gaped.
"Why are you here?"
"Vladd, have you been in the room?" asked Smirnov, no less surprised.
Vladd cheekily nodded.
Meanwhile, Smirnov and the police looked at Maryati viciously.
Maryati was scared.
"Eh, t-it was true that Mas Vladd wasn't there..."
As he got up, the police grumbled, "Don't mess with the police!" Maryati turned pale, frightened.Download Novelah App
