Introduction to Sleep
Purnama Princess

Once upon a time, in the land of Nusantara, there lived a couple who had long craved the presence of a baby. They had been praying during the night, but none of these prayers had been granted. Until one day a giant hermit named Buto offers to help them. Buto would pray to the Gods that the husband and wife be given a child, but on condition, after the child was ten years old then Buto would come to pick him up. The couple agreed to the terms of Buto. Nine months later, as the moon shone full in the sky, the wife gave birth to a baby girl. The baby is called Purnama, according to the time of his birth.

Purnama grows up to be a sweet, smart, agile, and obedient daughter to parents. Both of his parents loved him very much. Another week the full moon is ten years old. His parents became hesitant to even fear to hand over the Purnama to Buto as their agreement had been. Then they came to a famous teacher. They tell everything. By the teacher, they were given a small package.

“Command Purnama run when the giant Buto comes. Give this bundle to him,” so message mbah Guru.

The day of the covenant has arrived. At night there was an earthquake. The longer the vibration gets bigger. It was the clattering of the steps of Buto that approached the residence of Purnama.

“Purnama, you have to run, boy! Buto has come. Don't mind Simbok and Dad. He's just looking for you,” shaking the voice of Purnama's mother asking her son to leave. He held a cry that was already at the end of his eyelids. Panic overcame everything. Purnama was still confused to see the attitude of his parents.

“But why did Purnama have to leave the father and symbok?”

“The story is long, son. The point is that a giant named Buto wants to catch you. Quickly run. Use the contents in this bundle if you are almost caught,” the word symbok while dragging Purnama's hand closer to the back door. He placed a small package and a small scythe into Purnama's hand.

“Come, Son..” his father's frail body pushes Purnama out.

The forest behind the hut became the first safe point. Soon Purnama ran scared. His right hand shouldered a small bundle, while his left hand swung about slashing at the stem of the plant blocking his step.

“Huaha.. ha... ha…. Don't run away, sweet boy. No matter where you run, you'll still get caught. Both your parents have perished.. hua. ha. ha. ha. ha....” Buto's voice rang out among the teak and sandalwood leaves. The thunder made Purnama feel as if Buto had been very close, had caught his shadow, even though he had entered deep in the wilderness.

“Celaka! How can I get through this valley?” mummy Purnama. Her webbing had been drenched in sweat. Breath snuffling. He remembered the symbology message, if it was a dead end, then he had to open the package. With a feeling of nervousness surrounded, while sitting down. Little hand Purnama deftly opened the woven cloth wrapping.

“Hah..what is this?!” To his surprise, the contents of the bundle lay in front of him. The stem of the bamboo shoot is very short, with a pointed downstream, a piece of terraced, a tree seedling, and a chicken egg. Immediately reassembled the contents of the bundle that was scattered.

Kraaak.. bruuam. Now the figure of Buto is clearly visible in front of Purnama. A fierce-looking figure with two sharp large fangs came out from his mouth. Large trees look like grass bushes that are so easily torn apart by Buto.

“Hua... ha.. ha.. Where are you going, Cah Ayu? It's time, Nduk. It's time you became my meal. Both of your parents have broken their promise. Then get ready, Nduk.. hua.. ha...” The ground trembled along with the thunder of Buto's voice.

Purnama gripped by horror. His tears are getting out. He was confused, not knowing what to do. Vibration steps similar to the earthquake increasingly intensified. Purnama's body was shaken violently with her bundle. His mind was also shaken. Suddenly he remembered his mother's message to use the contents in his bundle if he was in trouble. He thought of something that easily reached his hand. Bamboo shoots. Not to be outdone by the clattering of Buto's steps, Purnama threw the bamboo shoot. But too late, the figure of Buto had appeared before him.

“Hua.ha.ha.ha..ha.... What did you throw, Cah Ayu? Wood...?” the stem of the bamboo shoot thrown by Purnama. Not long ago Buto grasped the stem of the bamboo shoot suddenly…

“Aduuhh..biyunngg..tobaat...,” cried Buto in pain.

Miraculous. Bamboo shoots turn into large tendrils that over time twine the hands of Buto. In addition to the tight winding, Buto was in pain because of the tendril appeared sharp thorny branches. Crasssh.blood spurts with the force of the knife-sharp thorns.

Dbbuummm.return ground vibrate. This time it was so hard. Belitan the barbed tendril had locked Buto in, forcing his body to fall.

Looking at the caged Buto, a slow daring of courage slipped in Purnama's heart. The panic disappeared instantly. Quickly he got up. His body is still hollow.

“I have to run fast again,” her inner.

Buto was grappling with a cage that continues to spread twisted, but Purnama knew the giant must be free soon. Amuk Buto is more violent than the sharp turns of tendrils that block.

“Heeeiii... Don't run you, Nduk. Arrrgghh...,” Buto's anger becomes more and more the same as Purnama's step down the stairs of nature in the form of stepped rocks. Buto did not expect the boy to find a way to escape. Escape with the help of nature and magical objects.

“Weladalaah... how lucky you are, Cah Ayu. Beware you.. Grrrhhh,” grumbled Buto while continuing to struggle with stifling twists.

“I must escape the pursuit of Buto,” his inner self.

“You won't be strong, just give up,” the other side of his heart says different things.

As if hearing the voice of the Full Moon's heart, Buto managed to break free from the twists of the thorny tendrils. The giant is now approaching the abyss. It looks more creepy. The blood of the struggle with sharp tendrils colored all parts of his body.

“Awas, Full! You have hurt me. Watch out you!! Buuum…. Buuum...,” step Buto steady as a thunderous threat.

The echo of Buto's steps and his voice momentarily locked the ringing steps of Purnama, whereas he slightly touched the natural stairs on the cliff wall.

“Gusti, protect servant. Slave scared, ” scream Inner Purnama.

It was as if hearing the prayer of the Full Moon, unbeknownst to him, terasi was thrown out of the bundle. Again the miracle came. The terrace slowly turned into hot mud.

“Aw, pain…. Huh, what is this?” Hot mud flushes the skin of the Full. Suddenly, the consciousness to escape from Buto recovered. Without thinking much, he climbed the natural stairs.

“Cah Ayu, free you run. Wait for me..”

Purnama also climbed the stairs of nature with all his might. His breath gasps.

“Aaarrgghhh....what is this..?” Seru Buto looked at the hot mud flaring in front of him.

Bluup... bluupp. His groans followed with the sound of a hot mud explosion. Muto megap. His panicked movements actually sunk the giant's head.

Panic also struck Purnama's heart. He did not want to die by the mud after his steps. Struggling up the stairs of nature. The limit of the jar at the ankle is now moved at the knee, but still the staggering pace. The upper floor of the ravine was slightly more reached. Suddenly his right leg was gripped by a rough and large hand. Chilly. The boy's face turned pale. Not finished breathing, he fell down.

“Hua.ha.ha.ha...ha...ha...,“ Buto's laughter sounds so terrible. Yet another miracle came. The seed will fall first to the earth. Then, it turned into a giant tree that grew very fast. Lucky full moon, he immediately fell on the top branch of the tree and was immediately carried to the sky. Buto was surprised to see that. The tree grew so fast.

The full moon was not seen from his eyes. The tree had brought the Full Moon far up, piercing through the clouds. Buto's anger has been swirling after he failed to capture Purnama twice.

“This time I have to catch you, Cah Ayu!” he screamed as he began to climb up the tree trunk.

For a while Purnama breathed a sigh of relief. The giant is far below. The tree that brought him moved so fast upwards that he had now arrived on the moon. Surprisingly, the tree stopped growing when it had touched the moon. This time the moon looks perfect. The full moon was amazed to see the shape of such a large moon with a shining light. Peaceful heart. For a while he forgot his panic after being chased by Buto. However, it didn't last long. Suddenly he felt a tremor in the tree he was sitting in. Worry returned to ambush. His hand reflexively grabbed the last thing in its bundle, a chicken egg.

The vibration gets stronger. The full moon is starting to panic. Throw the chicken eggs down. The egg then travels fast to the earth. Miraculously, the egg then hatched into an adult rooster and then crowed very loudly, even though the day was still dark. Hearing the sound of the cock crow, the moon that was boarded by Purnama thought it was morning, then the moon immediately headed to his contest to give the sun a chance to carry out its duties.

The movement of the moon, made the tree ride Purnama broken, while Buto was half the way up. The broken tree was not realized by Buto until finally the tree was suddenly scratched and not as solid as the first time he climbed it. Buto could do nothing more when the tree fell.

Bbuuum. The tree and the body of Buto fell to the earth. The large tree trunk overstretched Buto's body until it didn't move. Buto died instantly. Meanwhile, Purnama is also trapped on the moon. Although he survived the pursuit of Buto, but he could not return to earth again. It made Purnama sad. He told’a in his heart so that he could return to earth, but a voice said to him.

“Purnama, accept your destiny to stay on the moon. This is a lesson in the attitude of your parents who break promises. You survived the pursuit of Buto, but you can no longer return to the earth where you were.” Suddenly the moon spoke.

Purnama was sad to hear the sound of the moon. He could only cry and lean on the tree trunk that carried him to the sky. He longs for the colour of the flowers, the wings of the butterflies that make out with the crowns of flowers, the coolness of the morning dew, the warmth of the sun. But he can't do anything. Jumping from the tree will only make him fate the same as Buto, then Purnama resignedly accepted his fate. Stay on the moon. From then on the surface of the moon will be seen a painting of a tree and a woman sitting on a tree.
