It started as a normal day at Kampung Bidara when someone appeared unexpectedly in front of the village entrance. Rania, one of the girls from the village was surprised and overly confused at the sight of a mysterious man who walked into the village nonchalantly.
Rania was flabbergasted when suddenly the elders started to approach him with joy in their eyes. They showered him with gifts such as beautiful flowers and delicious fruits. Out of the blue, Rania's grandfather, the chief village, whom she knew as the strictest person hugged the strange man.
Rania snapped. She couldn't stand not knowing the real identity of the man and the strange attention he got from the villagers. She stomped bravely passing the elders and stood in front of him menacingly.
"Who are you? You are not from here. How did you know my grandfather?" She demanded for an explanation.
The man smiled at her antics. Before he could respond, Rania's grandfather ushered both of them into the house. Rania sat down as she listened to the man's story. Rania's eyes widened in surprise when she realised that this was the saviour of her village from being demolished by a construction company. The kind man bought the village land and freely gave it to the villagers.
A wide smile stretched on Rania's face. She was delighted to finally meet him. The saviour. She happily asked her grandfather if a celebration would be held for the man. Her grandfather agreed and informed the others. Rania sheepishly apologised for her bratty behaviour and swore to never judge a book by its cover.
