Once upon a time there was a kingdom called the kingdom of Tiangkerarasen. The land was safe and secure because the king ruled wisely. He had several sons and daughters of a beautiful empress.

But the peace and happiness of the family did not last long. One day, the king walked on his favorite horse. On the way he met a beautiful girl. After getting acquainted, the king took the girl back to the palace. The girl besides being beautiful turned out to have a soft temperament and smooth speech. The king fell in love and married the girl. The king's actions were opposed by the empress and her daughter's son. But the king loved the girl too much.

After a few months, the girl who had become the young wife of the king was pregnant. The empress and her daughter's son grew angry. They really showed hate towards the king. His daughter also dared to fight. This situation greatly pressured the King. Then it occurred to the King to get rid of his young wife.

One day the king took his young wife for a walk in the forest. The two walked down a large river in a boat. When the wife was enjoying the view, suddenly the King pushed her into the river. His wife was very surprised, then shouted for help. The King's heart was very pitying, but it was okay for him to want to end his strained relationship with the empress and her daughter's son.

Meanwhile, downstream of the river a pengail saw women drifting. He immediately saved the woman who was none other than the young wife of King Tiangkerarasen.

Months change years change years. The king's son born of a young wife had departed adolescence. His mother named him Aji Bonar. The young man had a penchant for playing gasing and paddling. One day he wanted to go to the land of Tiangkerarasen. Because, he heard the news that the son of the king of Tiangkerarasen likes to play with stakes. One day he could play slender with the king's son. Gasing Aji Bonar wins, then brings the betting rooster home. This victory of Aji Bonar gasing makes the king's son more curious. Then he bet bigger.
