The
Legend of Malin Kundang
Once
upon a time, on the north coast of Sumatra lived a poor woman and his son. The boy
was called Malin Kundang . They
didn’t earn much as fishing was their only source of income. Malin Kundang grew
up as a skillful young boy. He always helps his mother to earn some money.
However, as they were only fisherman’s helper, they still lived in
poverty. “Mother, what if I sail overseas?” asked Malin Kundang one day to his
mother. Her mother didn’t agree but Malin Kundang had made up his mind.
“Mother, if I stay here, I’ll always be a poor man. I want to be a successful
person,” urged Malin kundang. 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,” said his mother wisely. “But, promise me, you’ll come home.”
In the
next morning, Malin Kundang was ready to go. Three days ago, he met one of the
successful ship’s crew. Malin was offered to join him. “Take a good care of
yourself, son,” said Malin Kundang’s mother as she gave him some food supplies.
“Yes, Mother,” Malin Kundang said. “You too have to take a good care of
yourself. I’ll keep in touch with you,” he continued before kissing his
mother’s hand. Before Malin stepped onto the ship, Malin’s mother hugged him
tight as if she didn’t want to let him go.
It had
been
months since Malin Kundang left his mother. As his mother had predicted before,
he hadn’t contacted her yet. Every morning, she stood on the pier. She wished
to see the ship that brought Malin kundang home. Every day and night, she
prayed to the God for her son’s safety. There was so much prayer that
had been said due to her deep love for Malin Kundang. Even though it’s been
a year she had not heard any news from Malin Kundang, she kept waiting and
praying for him.
After
several years waiting without any news, Malin Kundang’s mother was suddenly
surprised by the arrival of a big ship in the pier where she usually stood to
wait for her son. 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.
She could not be wrong. Her blurry eyes still easily recognized him. The man
was Malin Kundang, her son.
Malin
Kundang’s mother quickly went to see her beloved son. “Malin, you’re back,
son!” said Malin Kundang’s mother and without hesitation, she came running to
hug Malin Kundang, “I miss you so much.” But, Malin Kundang didn’t show any
respond. He was ashamed to admit 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 as he release his mother
embrace.
Malin
Kundang’s mother take a step back, “Malin…You don’t recognize me? I’m your
mother!” she said sadly. Malin Kundang’s face was as cold as ice.
“Guard, take this old women out of here,” Malin Kundang ordered his bodyguard.
“Give her some money so she won’t disturb me again!” Malin Kundang’s mother
cried as she was dragged by the bodyguard, ”Malin… my son. Why do you
treat your own mother like this?”
Malin
Kundang ignored his mother and ordered the ship crews to set sail. Malin
Kundang’s mother sat alone in the pier. Her heart was so hurt, she cried
and cried. “Dear God, if he isn’t my son, please let him have a save journey.
But if he is, I cursed him to become a stone,” she prayed to the God.
In the
quiet sea, suddenly the wind blew so hard and a thunderstorm came. Malin
Kundang’s huge ship was wrecked. He was thrown by the wave out of his ship,
and fell on a small island. Suddenly, his whole body turned into stone. He was
punished for not admitting his own mother.
