Legend
Nyai
Lara Kidul
“Mother, what’s wrong with me?”
cried Dewi Kadita. She clearly remembered her father, king Siliwangi of
pajajaran kingdom, praised her just a couple hours before she want to bed, “you
have your mother’s beauty, my lovely daughter.” That very moment, what she saw
in the mirror was the most horrible creature. Her skin became full with
disguisting brown scales, among which smelly yellowish secretion slowly
emerged. Her eyes were protruding and surrounded with blackened skin. Her lips
were also blackened and wringkled. Most of her long hair had dissapeared. She
could hardly recognize herself.
“Mother!”
she screamed.
“yes,
sweetheart, “her mother, who was still lying on her bed, turn around and faces
her. Both of them screamed of the top of their voice. Theylooked just the same.
They had been the most beautiful mother and daughter at pajajaran, but they
suddenly turned hideous.
“Mother, what has happened to us?”
asked Dewi Kadita
Both were crying.
“I dont know,sweetheart,” the mother
said, trying to soothe her daughter, but deep inside she knew who did that to
them. Being the king”s most beautiful wife, she had made the other wives
jealous. Yhey must have conspired to use some kind of black magic to deform her
body and that of her daughter’s.
The news spread as quickly as
lightning. King siliwangi was told that they were bad luck for the kingdom.
Both the cursed women had to be exiled from the kingdom : otherwise, the
kingdom would suffer great missfortune.
Intimidated by the words, the king
forced them to leave the kingdom that night. They left the palace with no
soldier guarding, no ladies – in -waiting escorting, and no golden chariot
waiting.
Off they walked to the nightboring
kingdom. Not knowing how to get there, they reached the soutern coast of java
and finally decided that they would walk along the coast to the east.
On their seventh day walking, Dewi
mother said, “I cant stand it anymore”.
“Mother, plase be strong for
me,” begged Dewi.” Im sure there will be
someone who can help us.”
“Leave me alone here,”the mother
said, “go to mataram.Try to meet king panembahan senapati and ask for his
marcy.”
“I cant leave you, mother,” Dewi
started crying.
Her mother sat on her knees. Blood
flowed from her nose. Then she fell, her breath was gone.
Dewi screamed,”Mother please dont
go! Please dont.”
Out of the blue a big wave fulled he
rmother’s body into the ocean. Dewi run after the body, but the soutern ocean
was too powerful for the girl, she ended up sitting above a rock about a
kilometer from the shore. She was so exhausted that she fell asleep on it.
While sleeping, she was sure that
she heard her mother say. “jump into the water, sweetheart. It’s the only way
to help you out of the curse.” When she woke up, eith no second thought, she
jumped into the sea.
The voilent ocean swallowed her. She
was tossed about helplessly. Up, down, and twisted.” This is it” she thought.
“this is the end.
Only miracles could explain how
amazed she was when she opened her eyes. She was in a wonderful golden palace
on the bed of the ocean. She looked at herself in the morror; she couldnt
believe what she saw. She had become event more beautiful and stunning . she
was dressed in green, which make a remarkable contras to her bright skin. Her
hair was let loose, ornamented with pearls and jasmine petals.
She turned around an saw an
unbelievable sight; all the sea creatures were bowing to show they respect.
“long live the queen of shout sea,” they said. Only then did she relize she was
not a common human being anymore. The spirits and demons of the ocean had
crowned her to be their queen and name her Nyai Lara Kidul which in javaness
mean the beautiful majesty from the shout;
“king panembahan senapi of mataram
kingdom is having a meditation at the beach, “she said to her attendants.” I
will she him .escort me there.”
The ocean was rough and displaying
huge waves as Nyai Lara Kidul sat in her most beautiful gold chariot, guarded
by a number of armored demon troops, heading to parangtritis beach.
She spotted the handsome king siting
on a rock .as she walked toward him,the king opened his eyes. They fell in love
at once, and the king asked her to be his wife.
“My mighty king,” she said,” im
honored to be your wife, but forgive me that I can’t be at your side as normal
wife should, for I’m the queen of the
shouth sea. Nevertheless, I willbe loyal not only to you but also to you
descendants, the king of mataram . I will prptect the king and their people.
But now I will even help you conquer the pajajaran kingdom.”
The king smilled and nodded his
head.
“May add one thing , your majesty ?,
she added .” I wil be the only one hwois allowed to wear something green
tohonnor my king. Perhaps harm should be done to those who wear my sacred color
at the shothern coast.”
To this day, people who visit the
shouttern coast of java respect and fear Nyai Lara Kidul by not wearing green
near the beach.

poem
If I Do Not See You...
By: Anna Akhmatova
If I do not see you
I feel: minutes, as centuries, are endless.
If I once had seen you
Again suffers a heart’s wound, so merciless.
If I do not see you
I am winded with frost and with darkness.
If I once had seen you
Seared by something, with boiled pitch in likeness.
If I want to see you
Angels’ hands will convey me to Heaven.
If I once had seen you
To the tortures of Hell I am given.
And my peace is a loss:
Without you or with you – it’s in ruins:
I’m not got by the earth,
And repelled by the heavenly blueness.

Romantic
Romance
Love
is divine, not money
Once
upon a time, there was a guy who was very much in love this girl. This romantic
guy folded 1.000 pieces of paper cranes as gift to his lgirl, althougt at the
time he was just a small exucutive in his company, his future doesnt seemed to
bright, they were very happy together. Until one day, his girl told him she was
going to paris and will never come back. She also told him that she cannt
visualize any future for the both of them, so let’s go their own ways there and
than..... heart broken, tho guy bagreed.
When he regained his confidence, he
work hard day and night, slogging his body and mind just to make something out
of himself. He involved in many business involving insurence, banking, loan,
investment, real state, stock exchange etc and made a lot of money. Finally
with all these hard work and with the help of friends this guy had set up his
own company wit of a lot money to spend and scure life.....
“You never fail until you stop
tyring. “he alway told himself.” I must make it in life!’’one rainy day while
this guy was driving, he saw and elderly couple sharing and umbrella in the rain
walking to some destination. Even with umbrella, they were still drenched. It
didnt take him long to realize those were his ex-girlfriend parents. With a
heart in getting back at them, he drove slowly beside the couple, wanting them
to spot him in his luxury sedan. He wanted them to know that he was’nt the same
anymore. He had his own company, car, condo, etc. He had made it in life!
Before the guy can realize, the
couple was walking towards a cometary, and he got out of his car and followed
them....and he saw his ex-girlfriend, a photograph of her smilling sweetly as
ever at him from her tombstone......and he saw his precious paper cranes in a
bottle placed beside her tomb. Her parent saw him. He walked over and asked
them why this had happened. They explained, she did not leaave for france at
all. She was stricken with cancer. In her heart, she had believed that he will
make it someday, but she did not when her illness to be his obstacle ...
therefore she had chosen too live him.
She had wanted her parents to put
his paper cranes baside her, because if the day comes when fate brings him to
her again he can take some of those back with him. The guy just wept.... the
worst way t o miss someone is to be sitting right beside them but knowing you
can’t have them and will never see hem again.
A tragic story that perhaps happens
only in the movies. At the end of the
day,, money is money but love is divine. In our quest for our material wealth,
take time to make time for our loves ones. There will be a time when we have
only memories to cling to. Take this weekend to show your “love” to all that
are close to us, how much you love them. Say I love you in soft and lovely voice.
