"The Short Story of Malin Kundang"
Once upon a time, there was a young man
named Malin Kundang. He was a handsome and
brave man who lived in a small village with his
mother. His mother was a poor woman who
raised him with love and care. Malin was very
grateful to his mother and promised to make
her life better.
One day, Malin decided to sail to find wealth
and fame. He left his mother behind and sailed
with a ship full of goods. After many years of
traveling, Malin finally found success and
wealth. He became a wealthy merchant and
married a beautiful woman.
When Malin returned to his hometown, he saw
his mother still living in poverty. His mother was
very happy to see him and said, "Malin, my son.
You're my real son, right?" she said. "Why
haven't you given me news for so long?" she
asked again. He couldn't believe that the
woman was his mother.
Malin didn't have time to think because his wife
immediately said something insulting. "Is this
ugly woman your mother? Why did you lie to
me before?" she said cynically. "Didn't you say
before that your mother was a noblewoman
who was equal to me?" she asked again.
Hearing his wife's words, Malin pushed his
mother until she fell. Malin's mother didn't
believe her son's behavior. She fell and said,
"Malin, Malin, my son. I am your mother, dear!
Why are you like this, my dear?"
However, Malin was too ashamed of his poor
background and refused to acknowledge his
mother. He acted as if he didn't know her and
treated her badly.
His mother was heartbroken and prayed, "Yes,
God, if he is not my son, I forgive his actions
earlier. But, if he is really my son named Malin
Kundang, I beg for your justice, oh God!" she
said sadly while crying.
Suddenly, a storm hit the village and Malin's
ship was destroyed. He turned into a stone and
became known as Malin Kundang stone. It is
said that the stone still stands in the village, and
every time people see it, they remember the
story of Malin Kundang and how he was
punished for being arrogant and disrespectful to
his mother.
The moral of this story is to never forget where
you come from and always treat your parents
with love and respect, no matter how successful
you become.
