Malin Kundang
Once
upon a time, on the north coast of Sumatra lived a poor woman and his son. The
boy was called as Malin Kundang. However, as they were only fisherman’s helper,
they still lived in poverty.
“Mother,
what if I sail overseas? if I stay here, I’ll always be a poor man. I want to
be a successful person,” said Malin kundang to his mother.
His
mother wiped her tears, “If you really want to go, I can’t stop you. I could
only pray to God for you to gain success in life. But, promise me, you’ll come
home.”
In
the next morning, Malin Kundang was ready to go.
“Ok
mom I will go now… Please pray for me mom… See you mom… Bye…Bye…”
“Ok
Malin… Please take care of yourself. I will always pray for you my son… Good
bye…”
One
day, Malin kundang met a beautiful girl. She was the daughter of his master.
They fell in love each other and got married.
After
several years waiting without any news, Malin Kundang’s mother was suddenly
surprised by the arrival of a big ship in the pier.
“Waw…
What a big & luxury ship…? Whose ship is that?”
When
the ship finally pulled over, Malin Kundang’s mother saw a man who looked
wealthy stepping down a ladder along with a beautiful woman.
Her
blurry eyes still easily recognized him. The man was Malin Kundang, her son.
Do
you think Malin Kundang will
recognize her mother?
Malin
Kundang’s mother quickly went to see her beloved son.
“Malin,
you’re back, son!” said Malin Kundang's mother
But,
Malin Kundang didn’t show any respond. He was ashamed to recognize his own
mother in front of his beautiful wife.
“You’re
not my Mother. I don’t know you. My mother would never wear such ragged and
ugly clothes,” said Malin Kundang.
“Malin…
Don’t you recognize me? I’m your
mother!” she said sadly.
Malin
Kundang’s face was as cold as ice and he said.
“Guard,
take this old woman out of here,and give her some money so she won’t disturb me
again!”
”Malin…
my son. Why do you treat your own mother like this?”
"Go!
And never once in a while you're annoying me and my wife," he shouted as
he drove her mother .
“Supercharge
you Malin! I am your mother .. but why do not you recognize me?! You are really
an ungrateful child ..Oh my God! If he is really my son,Curse him into a stone
...!" she said, cryingly
Suddenly,
malin kundang’s whole body turned into stone. He was punished for not admitting
his own mother.
