“Batu Menangis”
Her busy life every day is just preening. Never wanted to help
work in the fields or complete homework. The mother can only
be patient and continue to be patient. As a mother, this woman
does not stop giving advice after advice. Darmi is stubborn,
doesn't want to listen to her mother's good advice. Strands of
prayer every day the mother said for her child who was not
good. Only prayers that can be said to face his daughter. Every
advice and words, can not be heard. One day Darmi asked her
mother to buy her beauty tools that had run out. Mother did
not know what kind of beauty equipment Darmi meant. Finally
he invited Darmi to come to the market together. Darmi had
refused to go to the market on the grounds that she did not
want her skin to turn black from the heat. However, Darmi was
forced to come along and put forward conditions. The
condition was that her mother had to walk behind Darmi, she
didn't want other people to see her and Darmi walking hand in
hand. Because their house is far away, this mother and child
have to walk far to get to the market. Darmi walked in front of
her mother wearing very nice clothes. While her mother
walked behind Darmi with shabby and dirty clothes. Upon
entering the village, everyone who saw Darmi was immediately
mesmerized. Many village youths admire him The villagers
were surprised by the people behind Darmi. One of them asked
who was walking behind Darmi. Arrogantly, Darmi said that her
mother was a maid. Everyone who asked, Darmi would answer
that the person behind it was her maid. The mother could only
hold back and cry inside.
That's how every girl meets someone along the way who asks
about her mother, always the answer is like that. His mother
was treated as a maid or slave. At first hearing her disobedient
daughter's answer when people asked her, the mother still
managed to hold back. But after repeatedly hearing the
answer, it was still the same and which was very painful, in the
end the poor mother couldn't hold herself back and she prayed.
"Oh my God, I can't stand this humiliation anymore. Servant's
biological child with the heart to treat myself in such a way.
Yes, God punish my rebellious son! Punish him…” By the power
of God Almighty, not long after mother prayed, the sky became
overcast, thunder came and it started to rain. Slowly Darmi's
body began to petrify. Starting from the legs that can not be
moved and then his whole body turned to stone. Darmi cried in
fear and begged her mother for forgiveness. Mother can not do
anything else. The punishment for Darmi can't be canceled
anymore. Darmi cried and regretted her actions. When Darmi's
head had not yet turned to stone, her mother saw Darmi shed
tears. Everyone there witnessed the event.
