    Malin Kundang

    Opening : Assalamu’alaikum Wr. Wb. Good morning Ladies and Gentleman! I'm Dafa
    Mutia Pramudita. Today, I’m going to tell you a famous story entitled The Legend of Malin
    Kundang. This is how the story began. So, let’s get ready to go back to the time called once
    upon a time.

    Once upon a time , on the north coast of Sumatera lived a widow and her only son
    named Malin Kundang. They were living in poverty because they were only fisherman’s
    helper. Malin Kundang grew up as a skillful young boy. He always wanted to be a succesful
    person to help his mother.

    One day, a large ship of a rich merchant docked nearby. Malin Kundang met one of
    the ship’s crew and was offered to join with him. He knew that it was a good chance to make
    his dream came true. So he decided to accept the offer and went home to tell his mother.
    “Mom, what if I sail overseas?” asked Malin Kundang to his mother. His mother didn’t agree
    but Malin Kundang made up his mind. “Mother, if I stay here, I’ll always be a poor man. I
    want to be a succesful person to help us get a better life. I promise you I’ll be back for you.”
    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 succes in life.” said his mother wisely.

    In the next morning, Malin Kundang was ready to go. “Take a good care of yourself,
    son,”said Malin Kundang’s mother as she gave him some food supplies. “Yes, Mom. 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.

    It had been three months since Malin Kundang left his mother. As his mother
    predicted before, Malin Kundang 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 her son, she kept waiting and praying for him.

    After several years waiting, Malin Kundang’s mother was 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, she saw a man who looked wealthy stepping down a ladder along with a beautiful
    woman. She could not be wrong. Her blurry eyes still recognized him. The man was Malin
    Kundang, her son.

    Malin Kundang’s mother quickly went to see her beloved son. Without hesitation she
    came running to hug Malin Kundang, “Oh my dear son, I miss you so much.” But, Malin
    Kundang didn’t gave any respond. He was too ashamed to admit that the old woman was 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 then ordered his bodyguard “Guard, Take this
    old woman out of here and give her some money so she won’t disturb me again.” Malin
    Kundang’s mother cried as she was dragged by the bodyguard, “Malin..... 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 thunderstorm came. Malin’s
    Kundang 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.

    Closing : So, from this story we learn to always treat your parent well and love them.
    Especially your mother. Your mother is the one who has brought you to this world with all of
    the struggles to raise you to gain your better future, and that’s the story from me. Thank you
    for your attention. Good bye! Wassalamu’alaikum Wr. Wb.
