Malin Kundang A Rebel Son
Long long ago, in Air Manis Beach Village, padang, West Sumatra, there was a widow named Mande Rubayah. She had a son named Malin Kundang. He was loved by Shis mother very much since he was left by his father. He was died.
Malin and his mother lived in a sailing village. His mother was old enough. She worked as a seller of food. One day Malin was sick seriously. His body was very hot accidentally. Mande rubayah was certainly very confused. He was never sick like this. Mande tried hard to cure Malin by her own ways.
Malin was very sick critically but he could be safed because of his mother’s hard effort. After he was healthy from serious sick, his mother loved Malin more. Malin also loved her mother very much.
When Malin had been adult, he asked his mother to have an adventure. There was a big ship that arrived in Air manis Beach not far from his house.
“Mam , this is a good chance for me. “Malin said. ”Uncertainly once a year, there was a big ship came in the beach. “I promised to chance the poor to be rich” he added.
One day, Mande Rubayah got a news from a ship crew who took Malin some years ago. The news was that Malin had merried with a beautiful girl of a very rich family. She was happy to hear that. She always prayed in order that her son was safe and returned to meet her immediately.
“I had been very old Malin, when did you return . . . “ Mande Rubayah said every night.
But there had been for months since she received the news, Malin had not visited her yet. She was sure that one day Malin would certainly come to meet her.
The dream come true. In one fine day, there was a nice ship appear toward the beach. The ship was wonderful. The villagers thought the ship belonged to a sultanage. They welcame it happily.
When the ship came closely, there was pairs standing. Their clothes were shining. Their facial expression were fresh and they smiled. They looked happy as they were welcome.
Mande Rubayah came to see the ship. Her heart beat hard. She was sure that the young man was her beloved son – Malin kundang.
The chief of village had not welcome yet, but Malin’s mother came and embraced him tightly as if she was afraid to loose her son again.
“ Malin, my son, ” She cried because of happinese. “Why didn’t you send any news for long?” She added.
Malin did nothing because he was embraced by a very old women with bed clothes. He didn’t believe the women his mother. Malin remembered that her mother was a strong women who took him wherever she went. He had not finished thinking, his beautiful wife came and said’ “ Is that bed women your mother? Why did you till lie?”
“ Didn’t you tell me that your mother was as degree level as me?”
Hearing his wife words, Malin Kundang shot forward the women until she rolled down on the sand. Mande Rubayah almost didn’t believe to her son’s behavior. She fell down and then said, “ Malin, Malin, my son. I was your mother. Don’t you remember me!
Malin Kundang didn’t take care his mother’s words. His mind was in trouble because of his wife’s words. If the women was really his mother, he wouldn’t recognize her. He was shy to his wife. Seeing the women would like to embrace his feet, Malin kicked her and said, “ Hi the old women! My mother is not like you! Poor and Ugly!”
The old women fell down and the sand. The people were surprised and then came home. Never imagined Malin was loved by her mother, he behaved like this. Mande Rubayah was unconscious and she was sleeping on the sand alone. When she was awere, Air Manis Beach has been lonely. On the sea, she saw Malin’s ship. It was getting further. Her was very paintful. She raised her hands and prayed, “Oh my God, if he was not my son I apologized him just now. But he was my son – Malin Kundang, I asked Your judgement. “
Not looking after, the weather was fine changed into dark accindentally. It rained heavily. The tornado came. It beat Malin’s ship. The thunder beat it. The ship was broken into peaces. They were thrown by the waves to the beach.
When the sun shone its shines, the tornado has been over. In the feet of the hill near the beach, the peaces of the ship were seen as the stones. They were peaces of Malin Kundang’s body – a rebel son cursed by his mother became a stone. Around the stone, there were small fish –named teri, belanak and tengiri – swimming. It was said that these fish were from the peaces of the body of Malin’s wife that were looking for Malin Kundang.
Therefore, up to now, when there is a big wave beat the stone that looks a like a ship and human body, it is heard a sound like human scream. “Forgive me mom . . . ! Forgive me mom . . . !” It is Malin kundang’s sounds.
One who is rebel to his/her parents – especially mother, he/she will not able to be in paradise, except he/she has been apologized by the mother.
