Hi my name is Cahaya Nararia. I was born in Tunka Village, Klaten County. I currently live with my grandmother and mother. My father left us since I was in my mother's womb.

My childhood was unhappy with my father's absence. But I'm pretty comfortable living with my mom and grandma. I had many friends in my childhood.

Tonight I slept with Simbok (grandmother). I'm interested in the stories that you gave me. Understandably in my village there is rarely a tv, so dongen became a favorite thing when listening to it.

"Nara, Simbok ameh nyritakne cerito Sewu Candi ('Nara, sewah want to tell the story of Thousand Temples')." said Simbokku in Javanese. I called my grandmother a symbok.

"Sewu Temple, mbok?" I said.

"Yes, in the Prambanan District there stands a thousand temples, Nduk. You know what, the origin of gmn?"

"ora, Mbok" I answered briefly.

For 4th grade elementary school children I am still a little layman, because in my school has not been taught about the story of the Thousand Temple.but, I know that not far from my village there are many temples, but, and the most famous is the Sewu Temple, which almost all over the world know.

Simbok then tells about the legend of Roro Jongrang and Bandung Bondowoso. Starting from the war between the Kingdom of Boko and Pengging. Killed Prabu Boko, who is famous for being beggar and likes to eat human flesh, as well as the devotion of Prince Bandung who get the strength and help of Jin Bondowoso. So as to kill the mighty and powerful Prabu Boko. then Princess Roro Jonggrang put forward the requirements if the prince of Bandung wants to marry her. The requirement is to make 1,000 temples overnight. Thanks to the help of Jin Bondowoso, eventually the temple was almost slese, but because of the cunning Jonggrang can finally be thwarted. Bandung was angry and angry to know that Jonggrang had lied to him and cursed him to become a statue of Roro Jonggrang.

I then asked "What do you think that Jonggrang statue will be able to live as a human again, Mbok?"

Laugh when I hear my question.

"No Ra, Jonggrang statue is still a stone statue" said symbok.

"Lha why Mbok, just said that Jonggrang is from humans because it is cursed" I said

"Bandung Bondowoso is very powerful, so it can not be human anymore Jonggrangnya." replied symbok.

I was more curious about Simbok's explanation.

"Mbok, if Bandung is an ugly man, why Jonggrang rejected him." I asked

"The humming man was handsome, great, powerful, and mighty. But Jonggrang did not want to because Bandung had killed his father." replied Simbok.

"So Bandung is evil, Mbok?" much

I'm getting excited about the story that Simbok told me.

"Oh yes Mbok, why does Prabu Baka like to eat human meat?" much

"The cook master of the palace accidentally cut off his thumb while cooking. Pieces of his thumb go into the cooking that will be served" Simbok said

"Why isn't the cooking replaced, Mbok?" much

"There is no time to cook again, because Prabu Baka is hungry" replied Simbok

I did not think about the king's servant, why the cuisine was still served. The health of the food is definitely not healthy.

"Mbok, what is the reason why Prabu Baka is a hobby of eating human meat?" much

"He tasted the dishes that had human flesh. He felt the food was delicious and made his body fresh. He asked the cook why the food was good." replied Simbok

Aki thought about why the cooking jury was so innocent. He was too honest with his king in my heart.

"Mbok, after that Prabu Baka directly doyan human flesh?" much

"Yes, every day should be eaten and eat human flesh" Simbok said.

"Then the cook killed the Baka people, Mbok?" my many.

"The soldiers then look for brands and enemies Prabu Baka to be used as food" said Simbok.

I shuddered in horror at the Simbok's talk about Prabu Baka.

"Are many Pengging soldiers killed by Baka warriors. So that makes Bandung angry?" much

"Yes, Pengging and Boko are close. So Bandung challenges Baka and wants to stop Boko's crime." replied Simbok

"Then Bandung attacked and fell in love with Jonggrang?" much

I then smiled imagining the romantic Bandung and Jonggrang when meeting and meeting face to face.

"Jonggrang did not want to marry Bandung because he applied for heavy conditions" Simbok said

"Terms ask for a thousand temples in one night, Mbok?" much

"Yes, maybe Jonggrang thought that the condition could not be fulfilled Bandung. But Bandung was a powerful young man who had great strength. He called his apprentice genie Bondowoso to help him" Simbok said

"So Bandung Bondowoso is a combination of humans and jinn?" much

Not yet, Simbok answered my question, My mother entered my room, and told us to rest because it was late at night.

"Nara, Simbok, wes bengi iki, come gek ndang turu (Nara, Simbok, it's late, let's hunt sleep)."

"But Ma, I'm not yet sleepy still want to hear the story of Simbok." I yank to Mama. My mother then said in a slightly upset tone "Tomorrow if built for the school does not want to wake up, sleep now!!"

"Yowes, Sri rasah snapped - snapped nggono kui, mesakne, Nduk gek ndang sleep there, tomorrow followed again ya ceritane"., Simbokku said half protest to my mother who was upset with me, because I was wayward.

I then started to sleep and Simbokku blanketed me with a blanket of batik. Be surprised to see that there is a lotus mark on my back.

"Sri, come on metu, I ameh cerito (Sri, Come on out I want a story)" asked Simbokku to My Mom.

my mother followed Simbok out of my room.

"Sri, you have to realize that your son is special, he is not just any child. I'll tell you about your story and your son's little destiny".

"That's, Mbok?" asked my mother briefly, out of curiosity.

Sighing and smiling. Lead me to his room and pick up an old book.

My mother was still confused and curious about the book and asked my mother to the symbol.

"Mbok, iki opo books? (Mbok, what book is this?) I never saw this book?" ask mama.

My benchmark suddenly shed tears and carefully looked towards my Mama. The feeling of being confused and curious makes my mother impatient to know immediately what secrets have been hidden by Simbok.

"Mbok, why even a nangist? what's up to? I'm ora mudeng iki. (i don't know this)." my mama then shook Simbok's shoulder because she was getting curious about the symbol.

"Alright Sri, Simbok want to tell about your life history first, actually want Simbok to hide, but Simbok is afraid that later there will be no time to tell it to you. Listen carefully and listen to Sri" Simbok said to my mother.

Mama then listened carefully to the cymbals.

"Bok, why me?" ask mama

"You used to have a strange disease, Sri" Simbok said

Simbok also tells how the life of symbok when he was young.

"Sri, symbok and your father were married because they were betrothed" said simbok.

"Stupid mbok pie?" ask mama

"When I was betrothed to your father. I'm still a girl, Sri. I'm the same age your father is far away" Simbok said

Simbok just nods his head. Simbok also told that his stepchildren did not accept.

"Mbok, why won't Inem take the symbols? ask mama

Inem's mother was the first child from a previous marriage.

"Your brother does not like the symbol for fear that the symbol will seize your father's treasure" said symbok
