wanted her to be his wife.

One day, the King sent his Prime Minister to a long mission. While the Prime Minister was away, the
King tried to get Sri Tanjung. However he failed. He was very angry. Thus, when Sidopekso went back, the
King told him that his wife was unfaithful to him. The Prime Minister was very angry with his wife. Sri
Tanjung said that it was not true. However, Sidopekso said that he would kill her.
He brought her to the river bank. Before he kill her and threw her into the river, she said that her innocence
would be proven After Sidopekso killed her, he threw her dead body into the dirty river.

and sacred love.
