Snake Demon's Slave

Kirana brought Tama to the villa where she lived. The villa was named Princess Villa. Once upon a time, the Villa was a castle where the King's favorite daughter lived, and Kirana was the princess. But unfortunately, because of Kirana's arrogance in the past, the castle was drowned by a curse from a mysterious old woman, and finally, the King's favorite daughter, Kirana, and also her followers were cursed to become snake demons. So that in human eyes, the castle is just a wide lake.

In the legend, people in ancient times called the lake by the name of Cikaputrian Lake, which means belonging to the Princess. And because the castle will appear on every full moon, Kirana named the castle "Princess Villa". To hide her identity as the Princess who was cursed to become a snake demon.

When Kirana and Tama arrived at the Villa, they were greeted by the Villa staff. Kirana introduced Tama to the employees. After that, she took Tama to the room that would be his bedroom.

"Well you rest here first, tomorrow you have to start work". Kirana said.

"What work do I have to do? You're not going to tell me to scare people, are you?" Ask Tama.

"How can a ghost like you scare humans, just rest first, tomorrow I'll tell you what your jobs are".

Then Kirana left Tama in the room alone.

"Jobs? It turns out that ghosts also have jobs". Tama said.

Tama observes his room which looks small but is quite tidy for a room in the Villa that looks old. There is a bed, a cupboard and a table with drawers. He opened the drawer and found that in the drawer there was a snake.

"Aaaaaaaaaah," shouted Tama.

Then the snake turned into a human.

"Hey, don't be afraid of me, my name is Denok, I'm the Princess's court lady."

"Princess? you mean Kirana?", asked Tama.

"Yes, she is the first daughter of Prabu Sanjaya". said Denok.

*Prabu : the title of king in java island*

Then Denok explained that Kirana was a princess who was cursed to become a snake demon by a mysterious old woman.

"So, she was cursed to become a snake?", asks Tama.

"Yeah right, but poor princess, she's been living in misery for a long time.. Uh, by the way, your name is Tama right, let's play outside". Invite Denok.

Denok is Kirana's favorite lady, she is also cursed to become a snake because she is the lady who serves Princess in the castle, which has now become the lake. A royal guard who was assigned by the King in the past to guard Princess Kirana in Castle was also cursed to become a snake demon.

Denok brings Tama to Limbur. Limbur is a palace guard who is also cursed to become a snake demon.

"Welcome to our castle, people call this castle is Princess Villa". Limbur said.

Suddenly Limbur accidentally stuck out his snake tongue, and it made Tama scared. Denok hits Limbur because he scared Tama.

"Ugh, you can't keep your tongue" Denok said.

"Oh sorry bro, I didn't mean to."

"Eh, it's okay, no problem". Tama said.

Unexpectedly Kirana watched them from her bedroom window.

"It turns out that he is easy to get along with, thank God, he has to serve me until I return to being a human again, before that I will not let him go". Kirana said.

After meeting Limbur, Denok invites Tama to meet Mr. Udin Sarudin, he is also the spirit of a human who has died like Tama and chooses to live in the Villa and become Kirana's slave. There Mr. Udin Sarudin was painting the walls of the villa.

After that, Denok left Tama and Mr. Udin because she had to prepare food. Then Tama began to dig up information from Mr. Udin.

"So how long have you lived here?" Ask Tama.

"Just 50 years". Mr. Udin replied.

"How did you get here?" Ask Tama.

Then Mr. Udin told him that 50 years ago, he was a traveling meatball seller, but he was hit by someone driving a motorbike while drunk and finally he died. At that time his wife had also died, while his daughter was still a kid. He could not be willing to leave his daughter alone. He wanted to stay behind, to take care of his daughter even though he had become a ghost.

When the grim reaper picks him up, Mr. Udin is saved by Kirana, and Kirana takes him to the Villa.

"Thanks to Princess Kirana, I was able to turn into a human in every full moon, so I can meet my daughter". Mr. Udin said.

"Really? we can turn into humans?".

"That's right, all the maidservants who have signed the contract, will turn into a human every full moon. The full moon is our day off". Mr. Udin said.

Tama is very happy to hear that because he wants to meet Nadia. He already misses Nadia very much, especially now that Nadia is living in Jakarta. Nadia's family has all moved to Jakarta.

In the night, Tama dreams, she sees Kirana dressed neatly like a princess, She is standing in a room with her father. It seems that the King really loves his daughter.

"Dad, it's my birthday soon. Don't forget to make me a beautiful castle at the foot of the hill, okay?" Kirana said.

"Of course my daughter, daddy will give whatever my daughter wants". Kirana's father said

Not long after that, Tama woke up from his dream, and the day began to dawn. Denok knocked on Tama's door and brought Tama breakfast.

knock... knock... knock...

There was a knock on the door.

"Tama, denok here, I come to bring breakfast for you".

"Yeah, come on in."

Denok goes into Tama's room and puts the food on his table.

"Oh yes, later after you finish your breakfast, you need to come to Princess's office room". Denok said.

"Okay, thanks denok".

"you're welcome".

After that, Denok came out of Tama's room.

"Ihhhh... Tama is so handsome huh, hihihiiii"

After Tama finished his breakfast, he headed to Kirana's office room. There he was asked to sign a contract. After he signs the contract, he is officially tied to Kirana, then the grim reaper will stop chasing him. Tama was forced to sign the contract because he wanted to come back to be a human in every full moon so he could see Nadia, he seemed very happy.

"Why does your face look happy, even though before you met the grim reaper you refused me firmly?" Kirana asked.

"Oh that, I have unfinished business with someone, if I'm still wandering around, I still have a chance" Tama replied.

"Yes, it's up to you, as long as you don't forget that you are mine, from now on calling me Your Highness Princess".

"I don't want to," said Tama

Then Tama left Kirana.

"Hey, you, young man!"

So that day Tama officially agreed to be Kirana's servant.
