The Legend of Prambanan Temple
King Pengging : Get ready soon. Just now the royal soldiers gave the news that there were
villagers who were mistreated by the Prambanan royal soldiers
King Pengging : We should better set up an attack strategy first. Then tomorrow we attack
the Prambanan kingdom
The next day King Pengging, Bandung bondowoso, and his soldiers departed for the
Prambanan kingdom. When in front of the Prambanan gate.....
Bandung Bondowoso : Hei...Prabu Baka!!! Get out you! Let's fight. We will show who is the
strongest among us
Finally the soldiers of the two kingdoms fought each other. Meanwhile in the
Prambanan kingdom...
Prabu Baka came out to meet the soldiers of the Pengging kingdom.
King Pengging : I will rule over your entire kingdom! So that I become the strongest and
greatest person in all kingdoms! Hahaha
Prabu Baka : Not that easy! If you want to rule my kingdom, you must fight me first
Bandung Bondowoso : I'm not afraid, I will beat you all!! Hahaha
After the war took place. In the end, Prabu Baka's soldiers were defeated. And Prabu
Baka also died during the war. Prambanan kingdom was destroyed. And King Pengging and
his soldiers occupied the kingdom. The soldiers of Pengging kingdom are having fun on their
victory. But in the Prambanan kingdom there is Roro Jongrang who is sad.
Dayang 1 : Yes, it's true princess... The king has died. He was killed by Bandung Bondowoso.
Dayang 1 : Yes, princess... King Pengging and his son, Bandung Bondowoso and his soldiers
have destroyed this Prambanan kingdom.
In the middle of the conversation between Roro Jonggrang and Dayang, suddenly a
young man came in.
Bandung Bondowoso : Wow..., You are very beautiful. You deserve to be my queen.
Without saying a word, Roro Jonggrang immediately left Bondowoso because she was
annoyed with Bondowoso who had killed her father. Roro Jonggrang was still sad about the
war that killed his father.
Dayang 2 : Does the princess want hot tea? Maybe it can calm the princess down a bit.
Roro jonggrang : Yes, I want
Dayang 2 : Alright, wait a moment princess, I'll make some tea first
The maids went to the palace kitchen to make tea. While he was stirring the tea,
Bandung Bondowoso came to meet Roro Jongrang.
Bandung Bondowoso : Roro jonggrang, why are you alone? Where is your maid?
Bandung Bondowoso : I ask you one more time, will you be my queen?
Then came the maid carrying a tray with a cup of tea for Roro Jongrang. He gave the
cup of tea to Roro Jongrang.
Roro jonggrang : What should I do? I'm tired of hearing that question.
Dayang 2 : if I may give a suggestion, the princess should give conditions that are impossible
for his to fulfill. If he fails, he cannot marry the princess
Roro jonggrang : Yes, I will. But there are requirements that you must fulfill first
Roro jonggrang : You have to make 1000 temples and 2 wells. And it must be finished
before sunrise
Bandung Bondowoso : For help me build 1000 temples and 2 wells. I have to meet those
requirements to be able to marry Roro Jongrang
King Pengging also performed several rituals and said a few words to summon the
genies.
The genies did the job very quickly. By midnight, half of the temples had been
completed. The dayang who knew that the construction of the temple was almost finished
immediately reported it to Roro Jongrang.
Roro jonggrang : All right dayang, let's burn straw and pound rice in a mortar, and sprinkle
fragrant flowers!
Finally they burned straw and pounded rice in a mortar and sprinkled flowers that
smelled good.
Kukuruyuukk kukuruyuukk!!!
Genie 1 : Guys! Looks like the sun is about to rise. See the girls have also started pounding
rice in the mortar. Let's go!
The genies left their jobs. Bandung Bondowoso was very angry and disappointed
because he could not make Roro Jonggrang his queen. he got even more angry when he
found out that it was Roro Jonggrang who had thwarted his efforts.
Bandung Bondowoso : Roro Jongrang, why are you so cunning? You have thwarted my
efforts to realize 1000 temples which is only 1 less because of your cunning and your ladies!
Be you as a statue in the 1000th temple
Finally, Roro Jonggrang became a statue, fulfilling the thousandth temple due to the
promises made and cunning by Roro Jonggrang.
