Yes Marwi is an orphan, he now only lives with his Grandmother, his late father is Farmer, he died bitten by a poisonous snake in the rice field while growing rice. Not long after the departure of his father at the age of 10 Marwi his mother fell ill with a heart attack and died .
Living with his Grandma is far from enough, his Grandma is just a mat seller made of woven bamboo, which sometimes does not meet his daily needs , never Marwi and Grandma did not eat for 2 days in a row, because at that time the mats made by her Grandmother did not sell, Every time Marwi feels hungry her grandmother just told Marwi to drink water, meaning that their stomach is bloated and relieve hunger but still , even though Marwi has drunk a lot of water , ' he said ,Marwi is still complaining of hunger and now her stomach is starting to feel sore. At that time Marwi and her Grandma had really felt very hungry because it had been almost 4 days they only drank water, Marwi had really could not stand , ' he said ,and decided to get permission to his Grandma to find work outside her village, the Grandmother allowed Marwi to leave while giving Marwi a kind of small chrysanthemum wrapped in black cloth. Marwi asked her grandmother "what is this grandma?" Her grandmother replied "just consider this a good luck charm , in the care of yes nduk(grandson) everywhere you go this kris should be in your pocket hopefully you always meet good people out there" , hurry Marwi to clean up her luggage and say goodbye to her Grandma"amin.nek I say yes first if I already got the money I came straight here to bring grandma good food" while smiling and waving her hands towards her Grandma .
Little Marwi left his Grandmother, he walked west out of his village, Marwi who did not know the direction and the purpose continued to follow his heart , Village after village Marwi has passed, until finally Marwi collapsed because it was not strong Berhari resisting his hunger, ' he said ,his body trembled violently Marwi was already unable to wake up anymore he had completely run out of energy , what Marwi thought at that time was that he would die and regret not being able to keep his promise to his grandmother to go home and bring food . Marwi Terkapar 3 Days 2 Nights on the trail to Bojong Pinang Village which only has a few Km left , strangely Marwi could still hear but could not do anything Marwi was still lying helpless in the middle of the road .
Towards the night Marwi heard the sound of the delman chariot, saw someone lying down in the middle of the road Delman stopped, a woman came down from the delman, the woman was very graceful and dressed like a noble , he was shocked to see a child lying in the middle of a lonely road . "do you know this child?" ask the woman to the coachman delman "i don't know ma'am, maybe he's from the next village" replied the coachman .
The woman named Laras she is the wife of the Rich Man in Bojong Pinang Village, Laras had visited his brother who had given birth , seeing there was a small child whose clothes were worn and sprawled in the middle of the road Laras immediately felt pity in his attention the little boy from afar felt still alive because his eyes were still twinkling straight Laras dismissing the delman, Laras went straight to Marwi, squatting Laras asking "where are you from, son?" ,Still lying Marwi replied to her with sign language because her mouth was still stammered because she was very hungry, slowly Marwi moved her hand and pointed westward . Then Laras asked the coachman to bring Marwi into the delman, the coachman immediately tied his horse to the trees and just obey the Pinta Laras , then the coachman immediately carried Marwi's body into his delman, Marwi was taken to the luxury house owned by Laras , along the way Laras gave Marwi a glutinous rice that he got from his brother's nose, Marwi ate it very greedily Laras gave him water while saying "slow down son will choke" Marwi nodded .
Slowly Marwi was able to talk again, he told her that he had not eaten for days, Marwi also asked for help to the woman , to visit her grandmother and bring her grandmother Marwi food, she told Laras where she lived.
To the next day after Laras visited his brother, Laras went straight to his Grandma Marwi's house, Laras Carrying Rice and various types of side dishes that he brought from his brother's house. But Bad Fate befell Grandma Marwi , when Laras and Marwi arrived at the house , Her Grandma was dead , "the grandmother must have died of starvation" Laras murmured in the heart . Indeed, in Marwi Village is in the Panceklik season somehow the land in the village is not fertile, rice that the residents planted there is no one harvest , many villagers have left the village Marwi , the village is completely deserted . After burying the body of his grandmother Marwi, Laras felt sorry for her, and asked her husband to Hire Marwi in his village.
To Esokan his day Laras approached again Marwi to his house "Son would you like to shepherd buffalo in my village?" tanya Laras who at that time was indeed the Buffalo very much and was in need of additional herdsmen, Marwi gladly accepted the offer Laras , On the way to the village of Bojong Pinang Marwi recounted his difficult life because his grandmother was just a mat seller who sometimes difficult to sell to Laras he also told that both parents her death since Marwi was 10 years old, Laras was more pity and pity to hear the little boy's story .
Arriving at the house Laras , Marwi really Terkesima saw the house Laras so Big and Spacious, behind the house there is a goat and buffalo kennel family Laras, the family's pet, in front of Marwi stood out a man, yes.it was the husband of Laras Named Jaya Kusuma people used to call his Raden Jaya . Raden Jaya Exit using a black suit and gold-colored Batik Sarong, aged about 40 years and has a thick Mustache, he is the Richest Person in the Village, The Richest People, then Raden Jaya invited Marwi To Enter into his house Marwi in a treat of Fruits and other good food . Raden Jaya and Laras are really good to Marwi .
Then Marwi was known to Ki Sarkam by Raden Jaya, saw Ki Sarkam Marwi shudder in horror, Ki Sarkam Appearing his Black Shirt, and, Her pants were black and there was also a machete on her waist her body was a bit fat he was sitting next to Marwi . "well Marwi introduce this ki Sarkam he who will guide you in taking care of buffalo" said Raden Jaya , Marwi just pegguk , Ki Sarkam Sees Sinis Ke Marwi from top to bottom which looks very terrible . Out of one of the rooms came a very Beautiful and Graceful daughter Age of 11 years Her name is Rara, she is the only one of Anak Raden Jaya and Laras .
All day Marwi herds the buffalo alone, while Ki Sarkam just sits under the tree while watching the buffalo eating the grass .
Every afternoon Laras always told 2 women in his house to deliver food to Ki Sarkam and Marwi , too , upon arrival the 2 women in their fields immediately gave it to Ki Sarkam after that 2 women returned to the house of Laras, when he was about to take his food rations , Ki Sarkam actually brushed off Marwi's hand "why mang?" ask Marwi to wonder . Without answering Marwi's question, Ki Sarkam immediately throw side dishes in Rantang Marwi's food, Marwi is only allowed to eat rice only , indeed Ki Sarkam is a cruel person he does like to oppress workers whose age is below younger than himself plus he does feel slightly rivaled because of his attitude Raden Jaya and Laras who is good to Marwi.., Sarkam also often beat Marwi in case Marwi makes a small mistake, Marwi's back and thigh legs often turn blue because Sarkam often beat him using a wooden stick...
Every night Marwi actually often grimaced in pain he honestly could not stand being here because of the torture of KiSarkam but Marwi had no other choice if he quit his job he did not know where to go and later he will starve again Marwi murmured in his heart
The more days Marwi's body is getting thinner, Marwi only has a little rest at work time, in contrast to KiSarkam who every day work only sleeps and eats burnt cassava in a saung near the field .
Years passed, Marwi had grown into an adult, at the age of 23 years he still works for the Raden Jaya family but now his duty is different no longer a buffalo wanderer but now he works as a rice farmer. It was quite a heavy task, so Marwi was given the confidence of holding 5 rice fields at once per year, he himself hoeing, laying, and guarding himself from pest attacks .
One day when Marwi was hoeing the rice fields, suddenly there were 2 mothers who passed on the outskirts of the rice fields, they talked about Rara who was bitten by a snake ground while playing in the garden. Marwi was shocked and immediately kept his hoe immediately he headed home Raden Jaya still wearing clothes that were still dirty by dry mud, he said, arriving there Marwi saw Rara lying on her bed grimacing in pain, Marwi saw a snake bite mark on her right leg, the wound was swollen and blue, at that time there was no doctor or his kind Raden Jaya had treated him with various kinds of traditional medicine and also called a healer in his village but his wounds never healed even now the wound removing Nanah and Rara's body was getting limp her face now looks very pale. His mother... Laras could only continue to cry to see his only daughter helpless like that because there were already many residents in the village of Bojong Pinang who died from the bite of an earth snake. Marwi is confused she is eager to help but does not know what to do, she has no science or expertise in medicine ,finally Marwi can only help his alakadar just like looking for leaves in Raden Jaya pinta for his traditional medicine .
One day passed his wound getting worse now that the wound had emitted a smell, his mother..Laras could only cry to see his daughter, and Marwi remembered Little Kris given his grandmother , Marwi wanted to try it because her grandmother once said Kris was like a talisman who knows who can cure marwi thought in the heart, then Marwi asked permission to Raden Jaya "sorry raden can I try to treat Rara?" pinta Marwi to Raden Jaya so politely "can you treat the sick?" asked Raden Jaya "i want to try it raden, please permission.." pinta Marwi while bowed and finally Raden Jaya gave Marwi permission . Marwi was immediately rushed to his hut to pick up a small kris in the pocket of his shack, upon arrival at Raden Jaya's house, Marwi directly attached the chrysanthemum to the feet of Rara whose Magic wounds The wound immediately dried up at that time also Raden Jaya, Laras and all who were at home were immediately shocked to see the kris magic belonging to Marwi "where'd you get that kris from, son?" asked Laras as he wiped his tears "this was my grandmother's gift first" replied Marwi, he did not expect his chrysanthemum was very powerful.
A few days later, Rara finally healed completely, her wounds had peeled off she could finally walk as usual .
After seeing Marwi's kris magic, Raden Jaya wants to buy the Kris at a Price that is expensive, and expensive, but very politely Marwi refused the offer he said that kris was a memento of his grandmother . The rejection did not make Raden Jaya angry, it even made Raden Jaya's family better
