Malin Kundang

ORIENTATION

Once upon a time, there lived a fisherman with his family in the coastal area of West Sumatra.

That little family consist of the fisherman, his wife and his son. The name of his son was Malin

Kundang. They have lived in poverty for a long time. One day the fisherman decided to sail to

a new world hoping that he will find his fortune and change the life of his family. Months

passed by but there was no news from the fisherman and after more than a year the fisherman
was still not returning to his hometown.

With the help of Malin Kundang, his mother started to work in order to fulfill their daily need.

Luckily, Malin Kundang was a smart and diligent boy so he always try to lighten the burden

of his mother. But he was also a bit naughty. There was once a day where Malin was chasing

a chicken and he accidentally stumbled on a rock and he injured his right arm leaving a
permanent scratch mark on it.

When he was older, he decided to be a ship’s crew so that he can sail to a new place and find

his fortune so he can make her mother happy with his wealth that he earned from his trip. He

got this idea when he saw a ship captain that was once a poor man now had became a very

wealthy man after he came back from his trip. When he had made up his mind, he told his

mother about his plan. His mother disagree with his idea, but Malin kept forcing his mother to
allow him to go. Finally his mother gave him her permission.

COMPLICATION

The next day, after preparing for some supplies, Malin and his mother went to the pier where

the ship was waiting for him. He said good bye to his mother and his mother told him to never

forget her and to return when he had became a successful man. She let Malin go with tears in

her eyes. They waved their hand to each other as the ship moved away from the pier until it
couldn’t be seen anymore.
Malin Kundang spent his time on the ship learning about sailorship from some senior ship’s

crew. Unfortunately, the ship was attacked by pirates in the middle of the sea. All merchandise

on the ship was raided by the pirates. The pirates also killed most of the ship’s crew. Malin

Kundang was safe because during the attack, he hid in a small secret chamber of the ship. When

the pirates had acquired all valuable stuff from the ship, they went away and left the ship to
sink.

RESOLUTION

The ship was drifted to the shore. Malin Kundang was the only survivor from the ship. He was

so tired but he forced himself to walk and search for the nearest village. When he arrived at the

nearest village, the villagers helped him and give him some food and water. After that, Malin

Kundang told them the story about the ship and the pirates. The villagers took pity on him so
they helped him to start a live in their village.

The soil in the village was very fertile so Malin Kundang decided to start his own farm. He

worked diligently on his farm every day. Day by day he became even more wealthy. With

knowledge that he acquired during his time on his old ship, he started to buy some ship and

build his own fleet with more than 100 employee. As soon as he became a rich man, he wedded
a very beautiful girl in the village.

REORIENTATION

The story of Malin Kundang who had became a wealthy man spread across the ocean until it

was heard by his mother in his hometown. His mother was so happy and grateful to hear the

news that her son had became a successful man. Ever since she heard the news, Malin

Kundang’s mother went to the pier every day hoping that she can see it right away when Malin
Kundang returned to the village. But, Malin Kundang was never showed up.

Years have passed since the first time the news reach Malin Kundang’s hometown. One day,
Malin and his wife decided to go on a sea voyage with their large and beautiful ship. One of

the place that they visited was Malin’s hometown. Malin Kundang’s mother who kept showing
up at the pier every day quickly recognized her son who was standing on the ship’s deck with
a beautiful woman. She became even more certain that it was Malin Kundang when she saw
the scratch mark on his right arm.

CODA

Malin Kundang’s mother run toward Malin Kundang and hug him. “Malin Kundang, my son,

I miss you so much, why didn’t you sent any news all this time? I’ve been waiting for you” she

said. Instead of hugging his mother, Malin Kundang pushed the old woman backward until she

fell to the ground. “Who are you?” said Malin Kundang pretending that he didn’t recognize his

mother, “I don’t know you!” he yelled at her. “I’m your mother Malin, have you forgotten me,

son?” asked his mother. “Is this really your mother Malin?” asked his wife. “No, absolutely

not. She was just a beggar who pretended to be my mother so she can get my treasure” he said.

Malin Kundang’s mother was very angry to hear what he said, she raised her hand and pray to

God, “Oh god, my heart was so hurt, if he really is my son, i cursed him into a stone” she said.

Not long after that, a storm came and destroyed Malin’s ship, after that Malin Kundang’s body
slowly turned into coral.
G. Terjemahan Narrative Text

Malin Kundang

Orientasi

Pada suatu masa, hiduplah seorang nelayan bersama dengan keluarganya di daerah pesisir

Sumatera Barat. Keluarga kecil itu terdiri dari si nelayan, istrinya dan anak laki-laki nya. Nama

anak laki-laki itu adalah Malin Kundang. Mereka telah lama hidup dalam kemiskinan. Suatu

hari si nelayan memutuskan untuk berlayar ke dunia baru berharap dia akan menemukan

keberuntungannya dan merubah kehidupan keluarganya. Bulan-bulan telah berlalu namun

tidak ada berita dari si nelayan dan setelah lebih dari satu tahun si nelayan belum juga kembali
ke kampung halamannya.

Dengan bantuan Malin Kundang, ibu nya mulai bekerja demi memenuhi kebutuhan mereka

sehari-hari. Untungnya, Malin Kundang adalah seorang anak yang pandai dan rajin sehingga

dia selalu berusaha untuk meringankan beban ibu nya. Namun dia juga sedikit nakal. Pernah

suatu hari dimana Malin sedang mengejar seekor ayam dan dia secara tidak sengaja tersandung
batu dan dia melukai lengan kanan nya dan meninggalkan bekas luka yang permanen di sana.

Ketika dia telah tumbuh dewasa, dia memutuskan untuk menjadi awak kapal sehingga dia bisa

berlayar ke tempat yang baru dan menemukan keberuntungannya agar dia bisa membahagiakan

ibunya dengan kekayaan yang dia peroleh dari perjalanannya itu. Dia mendapatkan ide ini

ketika dia melihat seorang kapten kapal yang dulunya adalah seorang pria miskin sekarang

telah menjadi orang yang sangat kaya setelah dia kembali dari perjalanannya. Ketika dia telah

yakin dengan keputusannya, dia mengatakan rencananya kepada ibu nya. Ibu nya tidak setuju

dengan ide itu, namun Malin tetap memaksa ibu nya untuk mengijinkannya pergi. Akhirnya
ibu nya memberikan ijin kepadanya.

Komplikasi

Keesokan hari nya, setelah menyiapkan beberapa bekal, Malin dan ibu nya pergi ke dermaga
dimana sebuah kapal telah menunggu nya. Dia mengucapkan selamat tinggal pada ibu nya dan
ibu nya berpesan kepadanya untuk tidak pernah melupakan nya dan memintanya kembali

ketika dia telah menjadi orang yang sukses. Dia melepaskan kepergian Malin dengan air mata

di matanya. Mereka saling melambaikan tangan disaat kapal mulai bergerak menjauh dari
dermaga hingga itu tidak dapat dilihat lagi.

Malin Kundang menghabiskan waktu nya di atas kapal dengan belajar tentang pelayaran pada

beberapa awak kapal yang lebih berpengalaman. Sungguh sial, kapal itu diserang oleh bajak

laut di tengah laut. Semua barang dagangan di atas kapal di rampas oleh bajak laut itu. Bajak

laut itu juga membunuh sebagian besar awak kapal. Malin Kundang selamat karena selama

penyerangan itu, dia bersembunyi di dalam sebuah ruangan rahasia kecil di kapal itu. Ketika si

bajak laut telah mendapatkan semua barang berharga dari kapal itu, mereka pergi dan
meninggalkan kapal itu begitu saja.

Resolusi

Kapal itu hanyut ke pantai. Malin Kundang adalah satu-satu nya orang yang selamat dari kapal

itu. Dia sangat kelelahan namun dia memaksakan dirinya untuk berjalan dan mencari desa

terdekat. Ketika dia sampai di desa terdekat, penduduk desa membantunya dan memberinya

sedikit makanan dan air. Setelah itu, Malin Kundang menceritakan pada mereka cerita tentang

kapal dan bajak laut itu. Penduduk desa merasa kasihan kepadanya sehingga mereka
membantunya untuk memulai kehidupan di desa mereka.

Tanah di desa tersebut sangat subur sehingga Malin Kundang memutuskan untuk memulai

pertaniannya sendiri. Dia bekerja dengan rajin di kebunnya setiap hari. Hari demi hari dia
menjadi semakin kaya. Dengan pengetahuan yang dia dapat selama dia berada di kapal

lamanya, dia mulai membeli beberapa kapal dan membangun armada nya sendiri dengan lebih

dari 100 pekerja. Segera setelah dia menjadi pria kaya, dia menikahi seorang gadis yang sangat
cantik di desa nya.

Reorientasi

Cerita tentang Malin Kundang yang telah menjadi pria kaya menyebar melintasi samudera
hingga itu terdengar oleh ibu nya di kampung. Ibu nya sangat gembira dan bersyukur
mendengar berita bahwa anak laki-laki nya telah menjadi seorang yang sukses. Semenjak dia

mendengar berita itu, ibu Malin Kundang pergi ke dermaga setiap hari berharap bahwa dia

akan bisa langsung melihatnya ketika Malin Kundang kembali ke kampung halaman. Namun,
Malin Kundang tidak pernah muncul.

Tahun-tahun telah berlalu sejak berita itu pertama kali sampai ke kampung halaman Malin

Kundang. Suatu hari, Malin dan istrinya memutuskan untuk pergi dalam sebuah pelayaran laut

dengan kapal mereka yang besar dan cantik. Salah satu tempat yang mereka kunjungi adalah

kampung halaman Malin. Ibu Malin Kundang yang terus datang ke dermaga setiap hari dengan

segera mengenali anak nya yang sedang berdiri di geladak kapal bersama seorang wanita

cantik. Dia menjadi semakin yakin bahwa itu adalah Malin Kundang ketika dia melihat tanda
bekas luka di lengan kanan nya.

Koda

Ibu Malin Kundang berlari kearah Malin Kundang dan memeluknya. “Malin Kundang, anak

ku, aku sangat merindukanmu, mengapa kau tidak mengirim berita selama ini? Aku telah

menunggumu” kata nya. Bukannya memeluk ibunya, Malin Kundang mendorong wanita tua

itu kebelakang hingga dia jatuh ke tanah. “Siapa kau?” kata Malin Kundang berpura pura

bahwa dia tidak mengenali ibu nya, “Aku tak mengenalmu!” dia berteriak padanya. “Aku ibu

mu Malin, apakah kau telah melupakanku, nak?” tanya ibunya. “Apakah ini benar-benar ibu

mu Malin?” tanya istrinya. “Tidak, tentu saja tidak. Dia hanyalah seorang pengemis yang

berpura-pura menjadi ibuku agar dia bisa mendapatkan hartaku” kata nya. Ibu Malin Kundang

sangat marah mendengar yang dia katakan, dia pun mengangkat tangannya dan berdoa pada

Tuhan, “Oh Tuhan, hatiku sangat sakit, jika dia benar adalah anakku, aku kutuk dia menjadi

batu” kata nya. Tak lama setelah itu, badai datang dan menghancurkan kapal milik Malin,
setelah itu tubuh Malin Kundang perlahan berubah menjadi batu karang.
