3. Plot
a. Opening :
A long time ago in South Sumatra, there lived a king who had been living as a
widower for several years. His wife passed away not long after giving birth to
his twin sons. Now, their sons, who were named Semesat and Semesit, had
grown up. But both of them did nothing but playing football every day. So
much so, they often forgot to eat and ignored their surroundings. The king was
very sad seeing his beloved sons’ behavior. He wanted to educate them but
could not because he did not have enough time aside from dealing with the
kingdom’s administration. Thus, he decided to marry again in a hope that his
wife would take care of and educate his children. Nevertheless, his hope was
gone as it turned out that his new wife married him only for richest and
nobility. She did not love Semesat and Semesit but she could keep her feelings
well in front of the king.
b. Problem :
The consort framed Semesat and Semesit. The plan was succeed when
the king himself commanded to exile them to the jungle. The next morning,
Semesat and Semesit were thrown away to the forest. The king’s consort was
so glad with the king’s decision. She thought nobody could keep her out from
dominating the kingdom’s wealth as both the kingdom’s heirs had gone.
Meanwhile, Semesat and Semesit were wandering in and out of the jungle.
They were rambling to and fro, crossing river after river, walking up and
down the hills until one day, they got to a jungle wherein various kinds of
trees and birds lived. The two poor princes took a rest below a huge and shady
tree. They leaned on the trunk. Semesit fell asleep. He was exhausted after
days of walking. While Semesat was still awake. He too felt tired but found it
difficult to take a nap. He was thinking of their miserable life. “It is really
tough for us to accept. Why father believe our stepmother more than his own
sons? Oh, God, please help us!” murmured Semesat. Not long after Semesat
said so, a bird perched upon the tree on which they were leaning. To his
surprise, the bird spoke. “Whoever eats my flesh, he will become rich soon.”
said the bird. Without further thinking, Semesat took a rock and hit the bird.
The bird fell on the ground. When he was walking to take the bird, suddenly
another bird perched upon the tree and said to him. “Whoever eats my flesh,
he will endure a hard life but finally find happiness,” said the bird. Semesat
took another rock and hit the bird. It fell down. Taking the two birds, he woke
his brother up and told him what happened. Semesat then gave his brother the
bird he hit first. “My brother, eat this bird so that you will be a rich man soon!
Let me eat this one. It is alright for me if I have to live a hard live as long as
the end is happy,” said Semesat.
c. Complication :
Eating up the birds, the continued their walk. They kept going through the
jungle until arriving in a kingdom. People said that the king of the kingdom
had just passed away. The king had no heir that the people wanted Semesit to
become the king. Semesat continued his walk up to the remotest area of his
brother’s kingdom. There he lived in poverty. For sustenance, he ate almost
everything the jungle had.
One day, Semesat unintentionally took some fruits from a garden in nearby
village. He thought nobody owned the fruit trees. But he had taken the fruits
so he was accused of stealing. The people took him to King Semesit to be
punished. King Semesit did not recognize his brother. The king then
sentenced to him to half-body burial in a pool of husks called Bujud Keling.
Several days after, there was spread a word that a beautiful princess from
abroad was holding a contest to look for a husband. The contest ran that
whoever was kissed by the princess’s horse, he would marry the princess.
King Semesit heard about it and commanded his guards to ready a ship for his
visit to the princess’s kingdom. Before midday, king Semesit departed along
with is guards, carrying along various jewelry and crops for the princess.
However, in the middle of the sea, their ship sunk. They could not continue
their voyage. “Guards! What is wrong with the ship?” asked King Semesit. “I
beg your pardon, Your Highness. The ship is broken. If we want to continue
the trip, I am afraid we should use Bujud Keling,” answered one of the guards.
King Semesit commanded his guards to swim back to their kingdom to take
the Bujud Keling. Floating upon a huge sack of Bujud Keling, finally the king
arrived in the princess’s kingdoms gathered to compete in the contest. The
princess, meanwhile, was sitting in front the palace with her family. There
was also the princess’s horse tied below a tree.
When the gong was hit, the contest began. The princess then got on her horse.
The horse started to walk passing the contestants to find the right man for its
master. The horse was passing almost everyone and had not kissed one. But
when walking before King Semesit, the horse stopped. The king’s heart was
pounding so fast, thinking the horse would kiss him. But it did not. The
princess’s horse in fact kissed the sack behind the king. The princess then
commanded one of her guards to unfold the sack. “Guards, open the sack! My
future husband is in there!” As it was unfolded, there came out a man covered
by husks. King Semesit was surprised as he did not know that there was a man
in the sack. His guards apparently got them in the sack with the Bujud Keling.
Disappointed, King Semesit said to the people it was him whom the horse
kissed, not the sack. He could not accept the husk man being chosen by the
princess. “I could not accept it if you marry this husk-covered man,” stated
King Semesit. “Guards, let us leave and carry the man with us!”
King Semesit headed back home dejectedly. On their way home, a mean idea
came into his head. He wanted to kill the man who was actually his own
brother. He commanded his guards to throw the man to the sea. As expected,
the man was eaten by a huge shark.
d. Resolution :
Miraculously, Semesat was survived and saved by a fisherman in the
princess’s kingdom. Finally, they were married. Then, Semesat revealed his
secret to his new wife and King Semesit. They both were shocked. King
Semesit then apologized to Semesat and Semesat forgive him.
