Jaka and Sukma are happy because their relationship has been green-lighted by Mbok Ningsih.
"Now we just ask for the blessing of my Mother and my Father Sukma," said Jaka by continuing to hold tightly the hand of Sukma, the girl he had always loved.
"Iya Mas, hopefully Mother and Father Mas Jaka bless us," said Sukma.
Sukma and Jaka now set foot towards Jaka's house.
"Assalamu'alaikum" said Sukma and Jaka.
"Wa'alaikumsalam," answered Jaka's mother and father.
"You go where Jaka, just came home and wandered," said Bu Atun (Jaka's mother )
"Mother kayak was never young, it was clear Jaka met his heart patch," said Pak Parjo (His father Jaka )
Sukma felt bad about the cynical look of Bu Atun, who had never liked Sukma even since he was a child. Bu Atun often told Jaka to go home when Jaka was playing with Sukma.
Why is my heart so bad? I feel that Bude Atun does not like me, maybe he will not approve of our relationship, inner Sukma.
"Mom, sir, Jaka wants permission to marry Sukma" said Jaka.
Bu Atun who heard Jaka's words immediately spouted out the water he was drinking.
"What do you mean Jaka?" ask Bu Atun.
"Mother by the way, do not need to spray the rich Mbah shaman," said Jaka.
"You just asked for our blessing?" ask Bu Atun again.
"Yes Ma'am, if it is not the same Mother and Father, Jaka wants to ask for the same blessing of who else, the time to ask for the blessing of Mr. RT," replied Jaka sekhenya.
"You are still a child Jaka, your age and Sukma is only 18 years old, besides like no other women," said Bu Atun, making Sukma hurt.
"Mom why talk like that? Jaka is already friends with Sukma from childhood, so what's wrong if they want to live together," said Pak Parjo.
"Mother just disagree, Sukma is just a poor Orphan girl, do you have no acquaintance of that rich woman in the city?" asked Bu Atun and again his words made Sukma hurt.
"Mother Mas Jaka is right, Sukma is not worthy of Mas Jaka, should Mas Jaka find another woman who is more everything compared to Sukma," sukma then let go of Jaka's handrails and ran to her house.
Mbok Ningsih who saw Sukma crying just approached Sukma in his room.
"You why after all Ndo, go home and cry?" ask Mbok Ningsih.
"Mbok, what is wrong if Sukma was born from a poor family? Sukma also can not choose to be born from which family, but why social status is always a barrier wall in a romantic relationship" said Sukma.
Before Mbok Ningsih raised his voice, Jaka was already there to catch up with Sukma.
"I'm sorry my mother is Sukma if Mother has made you hurt" said Jaka.
"Yes it's okay Mas Jaka, the words of Bude Atun are true if Sukma is only a Poor Orphan. So, Mas Jaka should just look for another woman, and please don't ever bother Sukma again."
"But Ibu Mas Jaka does not approve of our relationship Mas, and Sukma does not want if Mas Jaka becomes an ungodly Son," said Sukma by issuing tears that continue to flood his cheeks.
"I will fight for our love Sukma, and I will try to convince Mother to bless our love" said Jaka, but Sukma just kept silent without answering Jaka's words.
Mbok Ningsih who heard the love story of Jaka and Sukma felt sorry for his grandson.
If Sukma's parents are still there, maybe Sukma will not be underestimated said Mbok Ningsih in his heart.
"Sir Jaka, you should go home now so that your mother does not get angry if you continue to be here" said Mbok Ningsih.
"Then Jaka went home first Mbok, Jaka tipped Sukma yes, Assalamu'alaikum," said Jaka by kissing the back of Mbok Ningsih's hand.
Arriving at home, Jaka asks Bu Atun the real reason.
"Mom, why didn't I approve of Jaka and Sukma's relationship? Jaka knows that Mom must have had another reason, and I hid all of that from Jaka right? Jaka please ma'am, tell me everything."
Bu Atun was seen letting out a long sigh before he told Jaka the real reason.
"Actually when Sukma was still in the womb, he was favored by King Genderewo, so I am afraid that you will be wretched for marrying Sukma."
"That's just a Myth Mom, you know where that silly story comes from? our life and death have been outlined by the Gusti of God," said Jaka.
"Mother saw for herself, Son, when Mother Sukma was about to give birth she felt distress, and Kyai said that the baby in the womb was already marked, there was a mark, so that when Sukma was born on his shoulder there was a black mark, and people used to call it a laweyan shoulder. If any man marries her then the man will die on the first night" explained Bu Atun.
"Jaka will prove it to himself, Mom, if there is no such thing as a shoulder girl," said Jaka, then entered his room.
................
At Sukma's house, Mbok Ningsih also tried to invite Sukma to speak.
"You don't cry on Ndo, because actually Atun loves you, even from his childhood who always helped the Mbok take care of you," said Mbok Ningsih.
"Then why did Bude say that he did not want Mas Jaka to marry Sukma Mbok? what is wrong if Sukma is born into a poor person and Orphan Child?" ask Sukma.
"That's not the real reason Atun doesn't approve of your relationship, but there's another reason."
"What's the reason? please tell Sukma."
"Then, when your parents were alive, they were always looking for firewood in the woods. At that time your mother was pregnant with you, but she always insisted on coming with your Father, until finally your mother saw a pair of golden deer that were making vices, and he wants the venison."
"Your father rejected your mother's wishes, but your mother insisted on crying because she wanted it, so your father threw the bow he was carrying, and hit the heart of the golden doe."
"Suddenly the two golden deer turned into the figure of a high-furred creature, and it turns out they are the incarnation of the King and Queen genderewo. The king of genderewo who was angry at your father's actions intended to kill your parents."
"So that's why Mom and Dad died?" ask Sukma.
"No, but they died in a pure accident, and it looks like you survived King genderewo's help, because King genderewo abandoned his intention to kill your parents when he saw you still in the womb, so he marks your shoulders" Mbok Ningsih told the newspaper.
