Once upon a time, there was a kingdom named Filial Kingdom. The
kingdom was led by a king named Prince Moko. Prince
Moko was a wise king. During his leadership, the kingdom became very
prosperous. One day, when he did “Shalat Jum’at” in Baiturrahman mosque, he
wore his lovely swallow sandal. He loved his sandal so much because it was his
father’s gift. After doing “Shalat Jum’at”, he was very shocked
when he saw that his lovely sandal lost.
(Act 1)
Prince Moko : “Oh MG! Where is my sandal?” (panic)
Servant : “What’s up, King? Is there any
something wrong?”
Prince Moko : “Hey look! My lovely sandal lost.”
Servant : “How can? Where do you put it?”
Prince Moko : “I put it here...Here!!!” (pointed to
where he put the sandal)
Because everybody in the mosque had gone home. The servant
gave suggestion to Prince Moko to make a prize contest. Prince
Moko agreed. Then, they two returned to the kingdom and made the prize contest.
He sent his servants to the entire of the kingdom to announce the prize
contest.
“Assalamu’alaikum wr. wb.
Our prince had
lost his lovely sandal. He made a prize contest to all people around this
kingdom. Who can find the sandal and bring back to Prince
Moko without any breakage, Prince Moko will give
a present. That is a case of gold.
Wassalamu’alaikum wr.wb.”
After the reading of the prize contest, the kingdom’s inhabitants
were very noisy. They were very excited to find the sandal.
***
Two days after the prize contest, Prince Moko accepted a letter. A mysterious letter. The letter told that Prince Moko’s sandal was in a girl’s house in
the opposite village. After that, Prince Moko sent his servants to look for the
sandal. Nevertheless, a few days later, Prince Moko heard that his servants
were dead.
(Act 2)
Prince Moko : “What? How
can?”
Servant : “They were
killed by a wolf, My Lord.”
Prince Moko : “What? Well,
I must go there. I want to look for my sandal by myself.”
Servant : “But, My Lord,
how about that sandal?” (pointed to Prince Moko’s new sandal)
Prince Moko : (looked at
his new sandal) “I just want to know where my sandal is. That is my
father’s legacy. And also, I want to know why my sandal can be brought by a
girl in the opposite village.”
Servant : “Alright, My
Lord. I will prepare your horse and the soldiers to escort you.”
Prince Moko :
“No. I will go by myself.”
Servant : “No, My Lord. I have promised your
father to protect you. I think it is too dangerous let you go by yourself. You
can be killed by the wolf too.” (felt worried)
Prince Moko :
(sighed) “Well. Okay.”
The next
day, Prince Moko and his servants went to the opposite village where the girl
lived early. They went away by walking because Prince Moko didn’t want to ride
his horse. After arriving in the forest, Prince Moko and his servants were
stopped by a wolf.
(Act 3)
The wolf :
“Auuuuuuu…Where are you going?”
Prince Moko :
“We want to go the opposite village. We are going to look for something.”
(bravely)
The wolf :
“Auuuuuuu…something? What?” (curious)
Prince Moko :
“I think you don’t need to know about that. Now, just tell me what you want.”
The wolf :
“Wait. Are the people yesterday your servants? They also want to go to the
opposite village.”
Prince Moko :
“Yes. You’re right. They are my servants, and I guess you killed them, don’t
you?”
The wolf :
“Whhahahahaha…Exactly. I have killed them because they were brave to against
me, and they don’t want to complete my order.”
Prince Moko :
“So, what do you want from us now? Let us continue our journey. Can you tell me
where the girl’s house is?”
The wolf :
“Keep calm. Are you scared?” (arrogantly)
Prince Moko felt confused. Suddenly, there were two mysterious
creatures came.
The angel : “Just kill him! Show your power, Moko.
You’re the most powerful prince in this world.”
The devil :
“No, Moko. Don’t use any crime. Don’t spill the blood out here, Moko. He is
just a hungry animal. Don’t contaminate your hands by killing others!”
Prince Moko
was still confused. But, he knew what he must choose.
Prince Moko :
“Scared? Hahaha. Nothing must be scared. I just don’t want spill your blood out
here.” (tried to be relax)
The wolf :
“Hahahaha. How dare you are.”
Prince Moko :
“Please, what do you want now? Let us continue our way.”
The wolf :
“Well. I want you.”
Prince Moko :
“What do you mean?” (surprised)
The wolf :
“Hahahaha. Let me eat you.” (approached to Prince Moko)
But, Prince Moko’s servants tried to protect Prince
Moko.
Prince Moko :
“What do you want? I will complete everything you want, but you must let us
go.”
The wolf :
(thinking) “Alright. Bring me a deer meat before the dawn. If you can’t find
it, I will know where you are easily and eat you all. But, if you can find it,
I will tell you where the girl’s house is.” (threatened)
Prince Moko :
“Hahahaha. A deer? It is easy. I will
bring you that before the dawn here.”
Servant :
“My Lord, we can find the girl’s house by ourselves. Why do we must complete
his order?”
Prince Moko :
“We don’t have any time to fight. It will take a long time to find out the
girl’s house, moreover we don’t know where it is.”
The wolf
grinned. Prince Moko and his servants continued their way to look for a deer
meat first. They had to find it before the dawn. But, actually they felt
difficult to find the deer meat. They had just known that it would be difficult
to find out a deer in that forest. On the journey, Prince Moko and his servants
found a hut in the middle of the forest. Then, they came to the hut.
(Act 4)
Prince Moko :
“Assalamu’alaikum. Excuse me. Anybody home?”
An old lady :
“Wa’alaikumsalam. Wait a moment please!” (in a hurry)
The old lady
opened the door and felt surprised.
The old lady : “Ohh, Prince Moko. What a respectability.”
Prince Moko :
“Excuse me, Madam. Actually my servants and I are looking for a deer meat. But
we haven’t found it yet. Would you like to help me, please?” (humbly)
The old lady : “Ohh, pleasure. Come in first. Actually I have just hunted in
the forest nearby. I really want to eat a deer meat.”
Prince Moko :
“You? Hunting by yourself?”
The old lady : “Oh, yes. When I was like you in a young age, I usually hunted
by myself.” (explained proudly)
Prince Moko :
“Amazing. But, I’m sorry. I really need the deer meat. Could I get it now?”
The old lady : “Not easy like what you guess. Before you get the deer meat, I
want you to cut the tree outside down first. I want to look your sincerity, My
Son.”
Servant :
“How dare you are, Old Lady. Do you know who Prince Moko is?” (angrily)
Prince Moko :
“Stop. Let me do what she wants.”
Servant :
“But … My Lord?”
Prince Moko
came out from the hut, escorted by his servants. Then, Prince Moko took his
sword out and started cutting the trees down. He ignored to be helped by the
servants. But, actually he was helped by the 2nd angel because he
had accepted his suggestion, while the angel hated this situation so much. He
wanted to disturb Prince Moko, but the devil always protected Prince Moko.
(Scene: The
Angel and the devil were fighting)
After
finishing his job, finally Prince Moko got the deer meat. The old lady gave the
deer meat to Prince Moko.
Prince Moko :
“Thank you, Madam.”
The old lady : “Ohh, you’re welcome. Thanks for cutting the trees down for
me.” (smiled)
After asking
permission to the old lady, Prince Moko and his servants continued the journey.
They returned to the wolf’s place in the edge of the forest.
Prince Moko :
“Here it is. I have brought what you want. Let us know where the girl’s house
is.”
The wolf :
“Hahahaha. I am very impressed with you. Auuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…The girl’s house is
in the end of this forest, exactly in the opposite village. I wish you luck.
Auuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu….”
Then, Prince
Moko and his servants continued their way. After arriving in the opposite
village, Prince Moko saw a small house in the river bank. There was a beautiful
girl who was drying her clothes beside the house. Prince Moko approached her.
(Act 5)
Prince Moko :
“Assalamu’aikum. Excuse me.” (smiled at the girl)
Cindy Rela :
(startled) “Wa’alaikumsalam.”
Prince Moko :
“I am sorry.” (smiled, and impressed with the girl’s beauty)
Cindy Rela :
“Who are you?” (bowed, ashamed)
Prince Moko :
“I am Moko, from the village nearby. Don’t be scared, I don’t want to hurt
you.”
Cindy Rela :
“Are you Prince Moko from Filial Kingdom?” (shocked)
Prince Moko :
“Yes, right. I heard that my sandal is here. Is that right?”
Cindy Rela :
“Ehhhm. Yes, My Lord.” (still bowed)
Prince Moko :
(smiled) “Ohh, how happy I am. But, may I know what your name is first?”
Cindy Rela :
“My name is Cindy Rela.” (ashamed)
Prince Moko :
“Beautiful.”
Cindy Rela :
“Ehh…I am sorry. Let me show your sandal. Follow me, please.”
Prince Moko
and his servants followed Cindy Rela came into her house. Then, she took Prince
Moko’s sandal. When she took the sandal, suddenly an old lady came into the
house. Prince Moko was very surprised.
Prince Moko :
“Hey, you? Sorry, what are you doing here?”
The old lady : “Ohh, Prince Moko. You have already been here actually.”
Prince Moko :
(still surprised) “Why are you here?”
The old lady : “This is my grandchild’s house. She lives here alone, so I
often visit her. She always accompanies me hunting.” (explained wisely)
Prince Moko :
“What a coincidental!”
The old lady : “Have you gotten your sandal?”
Cindy Rela
came out from her room. She brought a pair of sandals belong to Prince Moko.
Cindy Rela :
“This is it, My Lord.”
Prince Moko :
“Ohh, thanks. This is my father’s legacy. But, actually I have bought a new
one. I just want to ensure that my sandal is here.”
The old lady : “My grandchild always protects your sandal, My Lord.”
Prince Moko :
“By the way, why can it be here? I lost it after praying Jum’at.
The old lady : “Actually we don’t know why it is here. But, I believe that
Allah has preordained your meeting.” (smiled proudly)
Prince Moko
and Cindy Rela felt embarrassed.
The old lady : “A few days ago, there were two doves coming here, brought your
sandal into her room. After the price contest announced, we have known that the
sandals are yours.” (pointed to Cindy Rela)
Prince Moko :
“Really? How can it be?” (unbelieved)
Prince Moko
mused something, then he said something surprising.
Prince Moko :
“Ehm, excuse me, Madam. I would like to say something. I think you will be very
surprised.” (seriously)
The old lady : “Tell us, please!”
Prince Moko :
“I have led my kingdom for about a year, and I guess I need a consort to
accompany me in controlling my kingdom. Because of that, I would like to propose
your grandchild, Cindy Rela.”
Cindy Rela
and her grandma were very shocked. But, her grandma smiled soon. Then, she
looked at her lovely grandchild.
The old lady : “My grandchild, it’s up to you. I don’t want to force you. It
depends on your heart.”
Cindy Rela
was confused, and then she got fainted. Prince Moko woke up and approached to
the Cindy Rela’s body. His servants helped him to hold Cindy Rela on the bed.
Cindy Rela’s grandma was very panic. Suddenly, there was a strange voice which
said that Cindy Rela would not wake up until she smelt something. But, the
voice didn’t tell what something that is. Prince Moko’s servants helped to look
for any kind of flowers and smelt them to Cindy Rela, but it didn’t work. Then,
there were two doves flying on the sandal. Prince Moko remembered that his
sandal had a power. Prince Moko took the sandal soon and smelt it to Cindy
Rela.
Prince Moko :
“Please, wake up!” (hopefully)
Fortunately,
after smelling the sandals, Cindy Rela woke up and smiled. Cindy Rela’s grandma
was very happy. Prince Moko’s servants were happy too. Then, Prince Moko asked
Cindy Rela and her grandma to his kingdom. Finally, Cindy Rela was married by
Prince Moko and Prince Moko’s sandal became a legacy for the next generations.
They lived happily ever after. Many people said that the two doves were an incarnation
of Prince Moko’s parents.
