ADE ADE LUMUT

A long time ago, there were two Kingdom in a region called Kahuripan. They are
Jenggala Kingdom, ruled by King Jayengnegara, and Kediri Kingdom, ruled by King
Jayengrana. The two kings were asked to unify their kingdom by their ancestor King Airlangga.
They finally decided to do it through a marriage of their descendant, prince Panji Asmarabangun
(son of king Jayengnegara) and princess Dewi Sekartaji (daughter of king Jayengrana). They all
live happily together as a big family.
One day the kingdom was attacked by enemy. The battle was fierce that it could endangered the
live of princess Dewi Sekartaji. The princess decided to flee and hide in a village far away from
Jenggala. In order to protect herself princess Dewi Sekartaji changed her identity into Kleting
Kuning and lived in a woman’s house by the name Nyai Intan with her daughter: Kleting Abang,
Kleting Ijo and Kleting Biru.
Nyai Intan turned out to be an evil lady. She made Kleting Kuning to do all the house
work such as cooking, doing the laundry, cleaning the house every day. Her daughter was no
different, they acted as if Kleting Kuning was their house maid. They yelled at her whenever
they want something. They only fed Kleting Kuning once a day. Meanwhile at the kingdom,
prince Panji Asmarabangun had successfully defeat the enemy. At that moment, he realized that
his beloved wife was not in the palace anymore and no one knew her whereabout. He was so sad
and he decided to sent some of his body guard to search for his wife. They went for a couple of
days until one day, one of the body guard returned to the palace with a news. Your majesty,
please forgive me to interrupt your rest” said the body guard. It’s okay. Have you located my
wife, soldier?” said the prince. “My apology Your majesty, I have not find your wife yet, but I
found a girl that looked like princess Dewi Sekartaji in a village far away from here. I couldn’t
confirmed it yet because she was working in a house of a rich widow as a house maid.” Said the
body guard.
The prince decided to disguise as a handsome and rich man looking for a wife to attract
the girl to come to him so that he will be able to see if the girl was truly his beloved wife or not.
He went to Dadapan village near Bengawan Solo river. The village was right across the village
where Kleting Kuning lived. The prince stayed in an old widow house by the name Mbok Randa
and changed his name into Ande Ande Lumut. Kleting Abang, Ijo and Biru were very happy to
hear the news. All of them wish to marry the handsome Ande Ande Lumut. They prepared
themselves and they wore their best clothes so they became pretty. Kleting Kuning tried to praise
them but she got mockery in return from her sisters. They did not allowed Kleting Kuning to go
to Dadapan village to see Ande Ande Lumut. They sent her to the river to do the laundry and she
followed. Kleting Kuning collected all the dirty clothes and went to the river. Truthfully, she had
no intention to go with her sister to Dadapan village because she only love one man in her live
and the man is her husband, prince Panji Asmarabangun. She promised to herself that she will
always be faithful to her husband. When she was doing the laundry, suddenly a crane came to
her. The crane can talk just like human and it brought a whip on its claw. The crane started
talking to the princess, it said that the princess have to go to Dadapan village and she will meet
her husband, prince Panji Asmarabangun, in the village. The crane also gave her the whip and
ask her to use it when she needed it. After that the crane left. Kleting Kuning rushed back to the
house and prepare herself to go to Dadapan village. Meanwhile Kleting Abang, Ijo and Biru were
already at the river bank. The river was very large and there was no boat around. When they
were still trying to figure out how to get to the other side of the river, Kleting Abang saw a huge
creature floating on the water. It was a giant crab and its name is Yuyu Kangkang. They didn’t
know that Yuyu Kangkang was actually the servant of Ande Ande Lumut and it was assigned to
test every candidate of his wife. Kleting Abang asked if Yuyu Kangkang was willing to take
them to the other side of the river. Yuyu Kangkang smiled and said, he will take them on his
back to the other side of the river if they agree to kiss him as the reward. All of them agree to
Yuyu Kangkang request because they really want to go to Dadapan village, so they kissed the
giant crab. After that Yuyu Kangkang took all of them across the river.
A couple of minutes later, Kleting Kuning also arrived at the river bank. She brought the
whip from the crane with her. Yuyu Kangkang gave her the same offer just like her sister but she
refuse. She keep asking to Yuyu Kangkang to take her and Yuyu Kangkang keep asking the
same offer but she didn’t change her mind. Loosing her patience, Kleting Kuning hit the whip to
the river and in instant the water subsided. Yuyu Kangkang was scared to see that and then he
took Kleting Kuning to the other side of the river for free. The three sisters arrived first before
Kleting Kuning. They show their beauty to Ande Ande Lumut right away. Unfortunately, Ande
Ande Lumut decided to not choose any of them. They were upset and ask him to explain his
reason. When Ande Ande Lumut was about to explain his reason to the three sisters, suddenly
Kleting Kuning arrived at the door. Ande Ande Lumut walked toward her right away and he
said, “I choose this girl to be my wife. The three sisters became so angry, and they said “why
don’t you choose one of us?”. After that Ande Ande Lumut introduce them to his loyal friend,
Yuyu Kangkang, and he said, “I didn’t choose any of you because you give your precious kiss to
Yuyu Kangkang so easily, and the only one who refuse to do so is Kleting Kuning.”. Kleting
Kuning was so happy because she recognized her husband since the moment she stood at the
door. She use the magic whip to turn her back into a beautiful princess. Finally they reunited and
live in their palace happily along with Mbok Randa who helped the prince to be back with his
wife.
