woman who asks for food. Do you agree it?

Princess Maura            : Whoa! That’s a very great idea! Mm... But what is the purpose?

Citra                            : Oh Maura! You will know the man who is the most generous

among them.

Princess Maura            : Why? Didn’t this food you give me yesterday?

Alex                            : No. I never give you this food.

Rico                             : Me too. I give the food like this to a poor woman, not to you,

Princess.

Princess Maura            : Oh. You never give food like this to me? What if I tell you that the

poor woman was me?

Queen                          : What’s wrong Maura?

Rico                             : How can you be poor woman like that?

Alex                            : You are very rich Princess. It is impossible for you to be a poor

woman.

Dewa                           : I’m not aware about this situation.

Princess Maura            : I have the evidence. I will show you.

Rico                             : Okay. I am waiting.

Princess Maura            : It is the evidence. This is my clothes. (showing the clothes)

Alex                            : Are you kidding me?

Rico                             : The clothes, the same with the poor woman’s clothes.

Princess Maura            : Yes, you are right. You gave her the food like this, right?

Alex                            : Oh I am sorry, Princess. I don’t know that she is you.

Rico                             : Me too, Princess.

Princess Maura            : Please don’t treat people differently. You must kind to everyone.

Through my disguising I know that Rico and Alex have a bad behavior. 

Alex                            : Dewa gave you a tasty meat like that?

Princess Maura            : Yes. Oh once again, I know that Rico and Alex just want my

wealth. They don’t really love me. I know it.

Rico                             : It is not true!

Princess Maura            : I hear with my ears! And I see it with my eyes!

Queen                          : What? You both stay away from my daughter. I never give

permission to my daughter to marry one of you. Stay away now or I will kill you if you don’t stay away from here.

Dewa                           : I’m sorry, Princess. I refuse eat this if the other sheikhs don’t get

the same food like what I have got.

Princess Maura            : Oh you are so kind, Prince Dewa. So I choose you to be my

husband.

Alex and Rico went out from the palace. And only Dewa who had permission to marry Maura. On the next month, Maura and Dewa got married.
