In ancient times, the king The daughter of the King falls in love
uses an ordeal to decide if a
person on trial is innocent or
guilty. The accused is led to two
doors, and he may choose either
one as his fate. Behind one door is
a ferocious tiger; behind the other
is a fair maiden to whom the
person will be married
immediately.
with a handsome courtier. The king
discovers this and the youth is
sentenced to choose his fate.
The king chooses the worst beast in
the entire kingdom, and the fairest
maiden to be behind the doors. The
princess knows the maiden and has felt
jealousy regarding her Lover. Through
bribery, the princess learns which door
contains the lady, and the tiger.
 The day arrives, and the handsome man The Princess rushed to cry and the whole

him to close it again.
 The whole arena howls in aghast.
Shocked, surprised and Amazement
are very evident in their face, not
expecting the scene that the Princess
had made, not expecting a woman to
fight for her pure love towards the
courtier. The King's face softened as
he stared at her daughter kneeling
down to fight for a man. For a King,
he had weaknesses too, and that’s his
Daughter that is why he’s known as
Semi-Barbaric King.
The Lover looked at his Princess
kneeling in-front of her Father,
begging and fighting. He then looked
at all the people that gathered in this
whole arena. Those innocent eyes,
those people who die choosing the
door of death, and those people
whose forced to marry choosing the
door of innocence, isn’t it inequitable
for those people? Isn’t it too biased if
the King would spare his life for the
Princess? Yes, it is.
 So with the slightest hesitation,
the Lover looked at the Princess
once again and whispered his love
for her, hoping it could reach the
Princess’ heart for the last time, a
tear rolled down on his face as he
closed his eyes tightly as he could
ever have, at that moment, he
walks fast across to the left door
and directly opened the door.
The Princess knows that the right
door contains the Lady, even though she
hates the Lady that her Lover’s bound to
marry, she just can’t bear to watch her
Lover be eaten by a Large Bengal Tiger,
either choice would mean that
the princess will lose her lover forever
and she’s more than willing to sacrifice
for the sake of her Lover, because love is
not just about feelings, it is about
commitment and sacrifice, just like the
love of sun to moon; he dies every night
to let her breath.
 A roar filled-in the whole arena as
a hungry and unreliable Tiger comes
out on the Left door with eyes
glittered in hungriness. The Tiger
struck the Man in the nastiest way of
killing, but before the Lover run-out
of life, his gaze found the teary-eyed
princess. He doesn’t feel any regret
for what he chose because not being
with the princess pained him the
most, more than being killed with a
large Bengal Tiger.
In this world where every dream is
broken, we are all a fighter, just like
how the Princess fight her love for the
Lover, look how long a woman can go
for her Love, while the Lover represents
the some of us, who thinks that the
Justice must be served whoever and
whatever you are. The king represents
hope and people, no matter how tough
and strong a person is, they have a weak
and breaking point too, and there’s
always a light in every darkness.
