# **ACT 1**
## *Joko Finds the Magical Map*
### **Scene 1 – Joko’s House, Morning**
*(Lights on. A simple house. Joko is rummaging through an old drawer.)*
**Joko:**
(serious) Strange… this drawer always goes “kriiiik” whenever I open it. Maybe there’s a ghost stuck inside.
*(The drawer creaks loudly.)*
**Joko:**
See?! The ghost is complaining!
*(He pulls harder. Suddenly, a rolled-up map falls to the floor.)*
**Joko:**
Huh? What’s this? Maybe… a love letter from my ex!
(panics) Oh no—if her husband sees this, I’m dead!
*(He unrolls it.)*
**Joko:**
Huh? A map?
(confused) Why does it say: *“MAP OF INDONESIA’S NATURAL WEALTH – MISSING SINCE 1950”*?
*(Joko’s eyes widen.)*
**Joko:**
Whoa! This is serious! I could get rich instantly if I find all of this!
*(He stands heroically with the map.)*
**Joko:**
Starting today, call me… *Joko the Explorer!*
Treasure, brace yourself! I’m coming!
*(Lights off.)*

### **Scene 2 – Bu Lestari’s Food Stall**
*(Lights on. Bu Lestari is arranging vegetables. Joko rushes in, panting.)*
**Joko:**
Bu Les! Bu Les! I found something that made my tongue tremble!
**Bu Lestari:**
(annoyed) If you're hungry, just say so. Don’t be dramatic.
**Joko:**
No! This is really important.
*(He opens the map.)*
**Bu Lestari:**
(eyes widen) Joko… what kind of map is that? Looks like a pirate map!
**Joko:**
This… is the map of Indonesia’s natural wealth! Gold, oil, ancient treasures—everything!
**Bu Lestari:**
(shocked and impressed) Wow… this could be important for national research.
**Joko:**
(whispers) Or… we could sell it to foreign investors…
*(Bu Lestari immediately smacks Joko’s head.)*
**Bu Lestari:**
SLAP! Joko! You want to sell out the whole Indonesian population?!
**Joko:**
Ouch Bu! But if the money’s big…
**Bu Lestari:**
(fired up) That wealth belongs to the nation!
But… (smiles) if you’re going to look for it, I’ll come with you. Not to sell it—just to make sure you don’t do anything stupid!
**Joko:**
Fine, fine, just come. But don’t nag too much.
**Bu Lestari:**
Deal. But *I* hold the compass!
*(They shake hands dramatically.)*
*(Lights dim.)*

### **Scene 3 – Pak Andi’s Office**
*(Lights on. Pak Andi is reading a newspaper. Two stiff assistants stand nearby.)*
**Assistant:**
Sir… we received news. A villager found the map of Indonesia’s natural wealth.
**Pak Andi:**
(calm, sinister) Who?
**Assistant:**
Someone named Joko.
**Pak Andi:**
(smirk) Joko? What a random name.
(stands) If he found the map I’ve been searching for all these years…
*(He stares forward.)*
**Pak Andi:**
We must sabotage him. That treasure *must change hands*… into mine, of course!
*(Evil laugh. Lights off.)*
---
# **ACT 2**
## *The Journey Begins – Sabotage in the Shadows*
### **Scene 1 – Dieng Forest**
*(Lights on. Joko and Bu Lestari are lost.)*
**Joko:**
Bu… the compass is spinning.
**Bu Lestari:**
A compass only points north, it’s not supposed to spin like a fan! You’re reading it wrong.
**Joko:**
Oh… no wonder I’m dizzy.
*(Suddenly, a branch snaps.)*
**Joko:**
A wolf?!
**Bu Lestari:**
There are no wolves here.
*(Pak Andi appears from behind a tree, dressed in fancy safari clothes.)*
**Pak Andi:**
(fake smile) Hello, my fellow travelers!
**Joko & Bu Lestari:**
(altogether) Pak Andi?!
**Pak Andi:**
I’m just enjoying nature. Oh, by the way, I heard you’re looking for something?
**Joko:**
(nervous) Eh… no, just looking for cassava.
**Bu Lestari:**
Yes sir, cassava shaped like a map.
*(Bu Lestari pinches Joko to shut him up.)*
**Pak Andi:**
(sniffing suspiciously) I’ll be watching you.
See you…
*(He leaves with a comedic villain aura.)*
**Joko:**
Bu… I’m scared.
**Bu Lestari:**
Relax. Just don’t show him the map.
**Joko:**
(confused) This one?
*(He holds the map wide open.)*
**Bu Lestari:**
JO-KO!!!
*(She snatches the map angrily.)*
**Bu Lestari:**
You… don’t be *that* stupid!
*(Lights dim as they argue.)*
---
### **Scene 2 – The Wobbly Bridge**
*(Lights on. A shaky wooden bridge.)*
**Bu Lestari:**
We have to cross this.
**Joko:**
Bu… this bridge shakes like my old long-distance relationship.
**Bu Lestari:**
Just go!
*(They cross. Suddenly, the bridge shakes violently. Pak Andi appears secretly.)*
**Pak Andi:**
(grinning) A little sabotage should do…
*(He shakes the ropes.)*
**Joko:**
BU! An earthquake! Or is this my ex’s revenge?!
**Bu Lestari:**
Hold on tight!
*(They barely make it across.)*
---
### **Scene 3 – The Mysterious Cave**
*(Lights on. Dark cave. Joko turns on a flashlight.)*
**Joko:**
Bu… if there are bats, I’m turning back.
**Bu Lestari:**
If you turn back, I’m leaving you.
**Joko:**
(scared) Okay okay, I’m going forward then!
*(A loud boom echoes. Stones fall.)*
**Bu Lestari:**
Another sabotage!
*(Pak Andi appears wearing a yellow helmet.)*
**Pak Andi:**
Hello explorers. Almost there, aren’t you?
**Joko:**
Pak Andi! Why are you following us?!
**Pak Andi:**
Because that map belongs to *my investors*, not ordinary citizens like you.
**Bu Lestari:**
Wow, how snobbish.
**Joko:**
Just like my ex, Bu.
*(Pak Andi sneers.)*
**Pak Andi:**
We’ll see who gets there first.
*(He leaves laughing.)*
**Bu Lestari:**
We need to hurry.
*(They run out.)*
*(Lights out.)*

# **ACT 3**
## *The Final Showdown – The Battle for the Treasure*
### **Scene 1 – The Peak Treasure Site**
*(Lights on. Magnificent scenery. Joko and Bu Lestari arrive.)*
**Joko:**
Bu… we made it!
**Bu Lestari:**
Wow… this is beautiful. Gold, oil, minerals… all untouched.
*(They spot a large chest.)*
**Joko:**
Bu… the chest! A relic of an ancient kingdom!
*(Before they reach it, Pak Andi shows up with a drone.)*
**Pak Andi:**
Thank you for leading me here!
*(The drone grabs the chest.)*
**Joko:**
HEY! That’s national property!
**Pak Andi:**
Soon… it will be foreign investment property!
*(He escapes. They chase him.)*
---
### **Scene 2 – Comedic Chase Sequence**
*(Lights on. Stage arranged like hills and slopes.)*
**Joko:**
Pak Andi! Give it back!
(slips) AAAAA—
*(Bu Lestari grabs him.)*
**Bu Lestari:**
Focus, drama king!
*(They chase him. Bu Lestari kicks a rock.)*
**Bu Lestari:**
Here it is… Lestari Style Kick!
*(The rock hits Pak Andi’s leg. He falls and rolls comedically.)*
**Pak Andi:**
AAARGH! My kneeees!
*(Drone falls, chest returns to Joko.)*
**Joko:**
Bu! The chest is safe!
**Bu Lestari:**
Good job, Joko!
---
### **Scene 3 – Arrest**
*(Sirens. Police and presidential aides enter.)*
**Aide:**
By order of the President! Pak Andi is under arrest for attempting to sell national assets!
**Pak Andi:**
NOOOO! Don’t arrest me! I was just… transferring ownership slightly!
**Police:**
Transfer it to prison instead, sir.
*(He is handcuffed.)*
*(Lights off, then back on at the Presidential Palace.)*
---
# **ACT 4**
## *National Recognition – Unexpected Heroes*
### **Scene 1 – Presidential Palace**
*(Lights on. The President stands with authority.)*
**President:**
Joko and Bu Lestari… the nation thanks you for your bravery in protecting Indonesia’s natural wealth.
*(Joko and Bu Lestari stand awkwardly.)*
**Joko:**
Uh… yes sir. I didn’t expect to end up at the palace.
**Bu Lestari:**
Thank you, sir. We did this for the nation.
**President:**
Indonesia needs citizens like you.
And for that, you will receive…
*(Everyone holds their breath.)*
**President:**
The National Hero Certificate – Category: “Brave but Unemployed”!
*(Everyone laughs.)*
**Joko:**
Sir… that’s a very unique category. But okay.
**Bu Lestari:**
The important thing is protecting our country, sir.
**President:**
Indeed! Remember: Indonesia’s natural wealth is not for foreign sale.
It is the legacy of future generations.
*(Joko salutes comically.)*
**Joko:**
Yes, my President!
*(Everyone laughs. Lights fade.)*
---
# **EPILOGUE**
*(Lights on. Joko stands at the front.)*
**Joko:**
The point is… Indonesia’s natural resources must be protected. Don’t be like me who almost made the wrong choice.
If we, the citizens, don’t care—who will?
*(Bu Lestari enters and pats his shoulder.)*
**Bu Lestari:**
Exactly! And if you ever try to sell things like that again…
*(She clenches her fist.)*
**Joko:**
N-No Bu! I’ve changed!
*(Audience laughs. Lights slowly fade out.)*
