The Legend of Malin Kundang

(Orientation)

          A long time ago, in a small village near the beach in West Sumatra, a woman and her son lived. They were Malin Kundang and her mother. Her mother was a single parent because Malin Kundang's father had passed away when he was a baby. Malin Kundang had to live hard with his mother

(Events)

          Malin Kundang was a healthy, dilligent, and strong boy. He usually went to sea to catch fish. After getting fish he would bring it to his mother, or sold the caught fish in the town. One day, when Malin Kundang was sailing, he saw a merchant's ship which was being raided by a small band of pirates. He helped the merchant. With his brave and power, Malin Kundang defeated the pirates. 

          The merchant was so happy and thanked to him. In return the merchant asked Malin Kundang to sail with him. To get a better life, Malin Kundang agreed. He left his mother alone. Many years later, Malin Kundang became wealthy. He had a huge ship and was helped by many ship crews loading trading goods. Perfectly he had a beautiful wife too. When he was sailing his trading journey, his ship landed on a beach near a small village. The villagers recognized him. The news ran fast in the town; “Malin Kundang has become rich and now he is here”. An old woman ran to the beach to meet the new rich merchant. She was Malin Kundang’s mother. 

          She wanted to hug him, released her sadness of being lonely after so long time. Unfortunately, when the mother came, Malin Kundang who was in front of his well dressed wife and his ship crews denied meeting that old lonely woman. For three times her mother begged Malin Kundang and for three times he yelled at her. At last Malin Kundang said to her "Enough, old woman! I have never had a mother like you, a dirty and ugly woman!" After that he ordered his crews to set sail. He would leave the old mother again but in that time she was full of both sadness and angriness. Finally, enraged, she cursed Malin Kundang that he would turn into a stone if he didn't apologize. Malin Kundang just laughed and really set sail

(Resolution)

he turned into a stone.

          When Idul Fitri holiday, after visiting my parents at Pameungpeuk, Garut, I and my family went to Santolo Beach to refresh our mind after the long time of work. It's rarely to take a vacation because I'm very busy.

          The way to Santolo beach is quite good, and the view is really beautiful. On our left and right is full of rice fields and many coconut trees along the way. But when we nearly arrived, there was a long traffic jam so we hardly to get in into the beach. I guess this was because of the Idul Fitri holiday, so people want to go to beach too. Then we just take a walk to the beach because it was not far. Fortunately the weather was not too hot on that day.

          After we arrived, the beach was so crowded. But we still enjoyed the time by took pictures, swimming, playing sand, and go around the beach by boat. We stay overnight in the inn that we have rent before.

          We got up so early in the morning that we could enjoy sunrise landscape at the beach. My cousin playing with white sand and I took a picture of him.

          A day at Santolo beach felt so short, we were quite tired for playing a whole day, but we were very happy.

Liburan ke Pantai Santolo

          Ketika libur lebaran, setelah mengunjungi orang tua saya di Pameungpeuk, Garut, saya dan keluarga saya pergi ke Pantai Santolo untuk menyegarkan pikiran kita setelah lama bekerja. Ini jarang untuk berlibur karena saya sangat sibuk.

          Jalan ke Pantai Santolo pantai cukup bagus, dan pemandangan benar-benar indah. Pada kiri dan kanan kami penuh sawah dan pohon kelapa banyak di sepanjang jalan. Tapi ketika kita hampir tiba, ada kemacetan panjang sehingga kita hampir tidak bisa masuk ke pantai. Saya kira ini adalah karena libur lebaran, sehingga orang-orang ingin pergi ke pantai juga. Akhirnya kita berjalan ke pantai Karena itu tidak jauh. Untungnya cuaca tidak terlalu panas pada hari itu.

          Setelah kami tiba, pantai itu begitu penuh sesak. Tapi kami masih menikmati waktu dengan mengambil gambar, berenang, bermain pasir, dan pergi di sekitar pantai dengan perahu. Kami menginap di penginapan yang kita miliki sewa sebelumnya.

          Kami bangun pagi sehingga kita bisa menikmati pemandangan matahari terbit di pantai. Sepupu saya bermain dengan pasir putih dan saya mengambil foto dirinya.

          Sehari di pantai Santolo rasanya begitu singkat, kami cukup lelah untuk bermain sepanjang hari, tapi kami sangat senang.
