Cinderella Dove

Amel and Imel. A pair of doves who have always wished they were human. The two of them always dreamed of themselves becoming complete humans, even though they were just two beautiful white doves. One day the two of them met a beautiful fairy who wanted to help them become human, but only for one night. Maybe, it's similar to the Cinderella story. They immediately accepted the offer without thinking twice. The fairy just wanted them both to be happy, and it turned out that the fairy gave them both a condition. "What are the conditions fairy?" Imel asked, followed by Amel's nod. “The conditions are… you have to be good pigeons and always help others. If you deny that, when you become human, Your form will suddenly become a pigeon again," explained the fairy. Imel nodded firmly, while Amel thought for a moment and nodded slowly. Amel is known for his arrogance, although he once promised to change, but his words have never been proven until now. "Alright then, now, you just have to close your eyes..." explained the fairy with her graceful voice. Amel and Imel closed their eyes with wide smiles and blooming hearts. "Now... you can open your eyes," said the fairy a moment after she turned Amel and Imel into humans. "Wow!" exclaim Amel and Email. They both looked like sweet-faced human teenagers. They hugged together and laughed happily. The fairy was also happy to see the happiness of the two doves who had become humans now. “Well… remember! "You only have to be human for one night, more precisely, at twelve midnight you have to return to your place of residence as doves," remembered the fairy. Amel and Imel just nodded without letting go of their hug. Instantly, the fairy disappeared.

Amel and Imel turned out to be very easy to get along with other people. In just about 5 hours, they had made friends. "Amel, Imel... how about tonight, you join us for the fireworks party, as well as celebrating new tofu? How?" offered one of Amel and Imel's friends, her name was Gina. "Is it true? I'm coming… I'll definitely be the most beautiful person there!” said Amel proudly. Imel looked confused by her friend's offer, but in the end she answered. "Okay... I'll come, but... don't go later than eleven o'clock at night, okay?" said Imel expressing her opinion. “Wait… the fireworks show is at twelve! And it will finish at three in the morning, where is there a fireworks display that ends at eleven at night!" Roy exclaimed. "That is true! You're so weird!" Amel followed. Imel remembered the fairy's message that forbade the two of them to go out into the outside world at 12.00 midnight. "You know! How? Are you coming or not?" Gina asked again. "Hmmm... looks like I can't come if it's twelve o'clock!" Imel emphasized. "Hah?! You freak! Never mind guys! Let's just leave him! He's really out of date!" Amel chided. Her new friends also agreed with Amel's words. "But, Amel...you..." Imel tried to remind Amel that she had promised the fairies not to leave after 12 o'clock, but Amel had already left with her new friends. Never mind guys! Let's just leave him! He's really out of date!" Amel chided. Her new friends also agreed with Amel's words. "But, Amel...you..." Imel tried to remind Amel that she had promised the fairies not to leave after 12 o'clock, but Amel had already left with her new friends. Never mind guys! Let's just leave him! He's really out of date!" Amel chided. Her new friends also agreed with Amel's words. "But, Amel...you..." Imel tried to remind Amel that she had promised the fairies not to leave after 12 o'clock, but Amel had already left with her new friends.

Now, Imel is alone. He tried to find friends elsewhere, this time he visited a small hut not far from where Amel and her friends gathered. "Excuse me..." said Imel quietly. His head peeked into the small hut made of cardboard there. "Yes. Who's your brother?" asked a girl with a cute face. "Hi! Let me introduce myself, my name is Imel... who are you? Can you introduce me to your friends?” Emel answered kindly. "Hi! Sis Imel! "I'm Ratih... and this is Reza, this is Raka and this is Putri," said the child. It turned out that her name was Ratih, Imel became interested in playing with these little children. "Hmmm... may I play with you?" asked Imel innocently. “What Sis? Brother wants to play with us? Didn't you see our appearance? Dirty, dirty, rundown… not like Big Brother! Clean and beautiful! " said one of Ratih's friends, Putri. "What is the problem? Since when did appearance become something that doesn't allow us to play?” Imel answered while showing a sweet smile. “Really Sis? If you want, let's play!" invite Ratih. Imel nodded and smiled. Then, the five of them played and joked around in a simple hut. “Hmmm… do you guys play here every day?” Imel asked while they were resting. "Yes..." answered Reza. “Do you guys have any more friends?” Imel asked again. "Yes," answered Raka. "That means you guys are nice... you have lots of friends!" said Imel with a shady smile. "Do you really not have any friends?" asked Putri innocently. "Not yet... apart from you and one of Brother's friends," answered Imel, this time her expression looked sad. “Then… our friends can be Big Brother's friends!!! " said Ratih happily. "Is it true?" Imel asked in disbelief. He imagined himself playing with lots of friends, joking and playing together. "Yes, of course..." answered the four children who had been accompanying Imel earlier. “Then, thank you, okay? You guys will be the best friends for me!” said Imel happily. They also spent time playing together.

Time still goes on. Until finally, it was 11.55. Imel felt that he had to immediately return to his original place. He saw his little friend sleeping soundly on a cardboard mat. He couldn't bear to wake them, finally, he decided to leave quietly.

Imel had managed to get out of the hut without waking her friends. He felt he had to approach Amel, who seemed to be still playing with friends. “Amel! Let us go home!" Imel exclaimed when she found Amel buying lots of fireworks with her friends. "What? Why did I come home?" Amel answered. “But, we only have a short time left! Let us go home!" Imel explained, this time her tone was firmer. "Don't want to! I want to stay here! If you want to go home, just go home alone! There! Do not bother me!" Amel shouted as he pushed Imel's body. "But..." Imel trailed off, she groaned in pain. It turned out that his palms were scratched from falling. Amel ignored Imel, he immediately gathered with his friends again.

Because she felt she couldn't do anything anymore, Imel returned to her place of origin. Exactly at 12.00 midnight, Imel's body turned into a pigeon. His heart felt satisfied because he could become a person who had many friends. Meanwhile, Amel looked tense when her body started to shrink and produce feathers. Her friends were afraid to see the changes in Amel's body, they ran away in fear. And Amel could only be sad because she was not satisfied with the kindness the fairy had given her. He hasn't had time to have fun with his friends. Now, he can only be sad and lament his loneliness.
