Family

Melati lives with her stepmother and half-sister, Kecubung. Even though she always received bad treatment, Melati never stopped praying. One time, the clothes she was washing floated away. Melati searched by going with the flow. Not long after, she arrived at a old woman's house in the middle of the forest. It turns out the cloth was found by the old woman. When she asked for fruit in the old woman yard as she was very hungry, she instead got diamonds in the fruit she picked.
