At the end of the coast of Sumatra island, there lived a master swordsman with a daughter named Mutiara.
That morning, as the sunlight touched the ground, there was the sound of a baby crying from behind a shady tree.
“Hmm..! looks like I heard something,” sigh Datuk Malelo quietly.
His sharp eyes and his ever-present hearing, were constantly searching for where the source of the sound was coming from. Then with lightning fast, the swordsman immediately darted away from his seat.
“Oh, it turns out to be a baby, a girl and beautiful once. But who is the one who threw it away?” datuk Malelo asked himself.
The baby was held in a cradle and taken home. Datuk Malelo bathed and replaced the bedong cloth that was still wrapped around the baby's body.
“Tega once parents who have dumped you son,” grumbled Datuk Malelo while cleaning the wound on the baby's body due to the bite of ants.
After bathing and changing the cloth bedongnya, then Datuk Malelo put the tiny baby in a swing, which is made of a long cloth and then tied using a rope.
The baby was then cared for and nurtured by Datuk Malelo lovingly. Same with his own daughter's pearls.
Under the upbringing and upbringing of Datuk Malelo, both toddlers grew healthy and strong. The baby was also named Seruni.
Compared to his daughter Mutiara, Seruni has extraordinary intelligence, gentle ethics and a clean soul. Unlike the Pearl which always relies on emotions in solving a problem. Serunis can also communicate with animals.
The difference in character that makes the two of them often quarrel and sometimes cause arguments.
However, Datuk Malelo still provides enough education and training to forge the souls and mentality of his two daughters. So that one of them does not feel excluded.
Day by day, they both continue to practice and learn, so that at the age of those who are still fairly children, both have mastered various magic knowledge that cannot be underestimated.
The more days they did the exercises, the more obvious the difference between the two. Seruni always dominates everything, both in the form of devotion, and nobility of mind.
Once Datuk Malelo intended to tell about the identity of Seruni, because Datuk Malelo thought, faster to tell it, then it was better to mentally.
It was all deliberately done Datuak Malelo, so that Seruni knew who her biological parents were. So that later, Seruni did not claim to be the person who had nurtured and raised him.
“My daughter Seruni, this is where son!” said Datuak Malelo in his spare time.
“What's Dad?” tanya Seruni wanted to know.
“There's something I need to tell you.”
“About what is Dad?”
“About your origin my daughter.”
“What is Father talking about?”
“Actually you're not a biological daughter dear father.”
“What! I'm not Dad's biological daughter?”
“Iya nak.”
“So I'm this.?”
“Daddy found you in the middle of the forest at that time, I myself do not know who your parents are. Did they deliberately dump you, or did you become a kidnap victim.”
“So, I'm not Dad's son?”
“Iya dear, must be so I will not stop loving you like my own daughter. Because other than you two, I don't have anyone else in the world.”
“But Dad, why are my parents, so eager to throw their own flesh and blood, in the middle of the forest again. How if I was eaten by a wild animal, surely no one would know.”
“Please baby, we don't know for sure the truth. We cannot decide too quickly what is not clear. But I promise you, I'll investigate the case until it's done.”
“That's the deck, Daddy can't lie to us, so please Daddy, brother will also help find your parents,” timpal Pearl quietly.
“Yes, already, now it is better you guys sleep, tomorrow morning we will start doing search.”
“Good Dad!” answer the two princesses Datuak Malelo simultaneously.
Then they went to their own rooms. On her tiny bed, Tiara fell asleep with her sister Seruni.
Meanwhile, when his two daughters were fast asleep, Datuk Malelo came to his daughter's room slowly. His tears seemed to drip, soaking his two cheeks that began to wrinkle.
His heart was bitter when he looked at his two young daughters.Datuk Malelo did not expect at all, at his age which was already near dusk, he said, it turns out he still has two daughters who must be educated and raised with his soul and body.
Moreover, his beloved wife, had died after risking her life in giving birth to Pearl, the child they had been waiting for after decades.
That painful shadow, always flashed through his mind. "May God forgive your sins Mariana and put you in a more worthy place by her side, aamiin,” sighed Datuak Malelo with tears.
After that, Datuak Malelo immediately rushed out of his daughter's room room, towards the living room.
On a piece of shabby pandan mat, Datuk Malelo fell asleep until morning came.
“Dad, Dad! Wake up Dad, open your eyes!” call Seruni to Datuk Malelo.
“Iya darling! but it is still dark,” replied Datuak Malelo slowly.
“Ngak Dad! See that, the sun has risen, do not I promise to help me in finding Mom and Dad,” explained Seruni while rocking his father's body.
“Good, fine! Dad get ready first.”
“Yes, Dad! I'm waiting in front with sister Tiara.”
“Alright, I will see you soon after I finish praying.”
“Alright Dad,” replied Seruni while running cheerfully towards the front page of her house.
After getting ready, Datuk Malelo and his two daughters ran towards the village. The body science they have, it's incredible. Evidently, they can travel long distances for a while.
“Hmm..! this is the first village that we must go to,” said Datuk Malelo to his two daughters.
At a rice shop, Datuk Malelo rests to quench his thirst and his two daughters.
“You want to order what baby?” datuk Malelo asked his two daughters.
“I order rice Father,” replied Seruni.
“I'm also Dad!” timpal Tiara, while eating a piece of tofu located on a plate.
“We ordered two rice dishes, Mom and a glass of warm coffee,” Datuak Malelo told the shop owner.
“Good Sir,” replied the shop owner while taking Datuak Malelo's order.
When the shop owner had issued an order Datuak Malelo, then Datuak asked the owner of the stall.
“This Village what is the name Bu?”
“This Peduphan Village Pak.”
“Ooo, Peduhan Village yes,” Datuk said while nodding his head.
“Where are the Father and children going?” ask the shop owner to Datuak Malelo.
