THE
CRYING STONE
The
Amongst the local inhabitants of
Once upon a time, there was a family
of a widow, and her only daughter living in a hinterland of
Both lived in a decrepit hut. They
lived poor since the widow’s husband passed away. He was gone leaving no
inheritance to the family. Consequently, to fulfill their needs, they were
forced willy-nilly to work much harder.
However, Darmi was not a hard-worker,
totally differed from her mother. She was a lazy girl who spent almost of her
times dressing up and adoring her reflection on the mirror. One of her bad
habits was showing off her beauty to the local people living in the
surroundings. She never wanted to help her mother working at the field. If her
mother asked her for help, Darmi refused.
“Girl, will you help at the field,
now?” the mother asked.
“No, I won’t! I don’t want to go
there. I’m afraid my skin turns dark,” Darmi answered to her mother without
looking at her.
“You let me to work there alone, don’t
you?”
“Mom, everyone knows that you are an
old woman while I am a pretty young girl. So, people will get attracted to me
and not you. That is why I prefer staying at home to working outside in the
field because I…! am…! waiting for a rich boy propose me to get married with.”
Darmi`s mother was speechless to hear
that. It was as if she was stricken by a light realizing that her daughter did
no respect to her at all. Then, she went to the field alone and Darmi stayed at
home.
Worse, Darmi used to beg money from
her mother, soon after she went back from work. In fact, she earned too little
to meet their daily need.
“Mom, where is the money?!” Darmi
asked.
“No! I won’t give this to you. We
need this to buy some foods,” the mother said.
“But I’m running out of face powder.
I don’t have it anymore, Mom! I need to buy a new one,”
The mother got angry to her daughter
but she repressed it. She surrendered and gave her the money.
Darmi “bad-habit” towards her mother
occurred almost everyday. The mother worked too hard in the field; while Darmi
stayed at home. The mother went back home; then, Darmi begged for the money.
One day, Darmi`s mother was going to
a nearest market from her home. Darmi knew this, and she got her mother to buy
some cosmetics. However, Darmi`s mother did not know anything about cosmetics.
She asked Darmi to accompany her to the market.
“Go with me to the market so you can
choose which one that you want,” the mother said.
“I don`t want to go with you!” Darmi
answered.
“But I don’t know which one!”
Then, Darmi gave up. She followed her
mother to go to the market.
“Ok, Mom! I will go with you, but
please, you have to walk behind me!” said Darmi, who got her mother to act as
if the old woman was her maid.
“Why, girl?” the mother wondered.
“I feel ashamed to walk along with an
old woman like you. Look at me! I`m a graceful girl so I won’t people leave me
because they know you’re my mother!” Darmi explained.
Both then looked for goods in the
market. Darmi’s mother walked behind her daughter. She brought a plastic bag
containing the things they got from there.
Actually, they were between a girl
and her mother. But somehow they looked contrast. Darmi wore elegant clothes
and walked gracefully; while her mother wore a worn out clothes with rumbling
face.
Along the way in the market, many
greeted Darmi, and some of them asked who the old woman was.
In a moment, Darmi met her friends.
“Hi, Darmi! Where’re you going?
“Just looking around here. I wish I
could find something good here,” she said.
“Then, who’s that one? Is that your
Mom?” one of her friends asked Darmi while pointing at the mother.
“No, of course! She is a maid at my
house, gals!”
Darmi`s mother was totally shocked to
hear that. She couldn’t believe those words came out from her daughter. No
matter what, she tried hard to calm herself down. She ease off her anger and
went ahead accompanying her daughter.
In another moment, an unknown man
greeted Darmi. It appears that the man would try to attract Darmi`s attention.
But sure, she did not want to such a common man.
“Hi, girl! Where are you going?”
asked the man while smiling.
“As you can see by yourself, I’m here
looking for cosmetics,” she answered.
“Cosmetics to beautify you? And who`s
the old woman behind you?”
“She’s my maid,” Darmi said.
What an attacking answer! Darmi`s
mother could no longer restrain her anger. Soon after Darmi said that words,
the mother stopped, and took a sit on a swing on the sidewalk.
“Why do you stop?” Darmi questioned
her mother but she did not call her “Mom.”
“Hey! Are you listening to me?!” she
shouted once more because the mother was just silent.
The mother kept silent, ignoring the
call of her daughter who had hurt her.
Since then, Darmi`s mother mumbled
with her hands looked up to the sky. She was reciting prayers to God so that
her daughter was cursed to be a stone.
“Hey, old woman! What… are… you
doing?!!” Darmi kept stubborn, admitting the old woman was not her mother.
Darmi`s mother intended not to
answer. She kept praying to God upon a curse towards her daughter.
All of sudden, the sky turned dark.
The loud thunder roared back and forth. The rain fell heavily.
At that time, Darmi could move her
foots anymore. Gradually, her foots turned into black stone that later on
covered her entire body.
“Mom…! Mom…! What’s happening to me?”
finally she called her mother “Mom.” “I’m sorry, Mom! I’m so sorry…,” she cried
loudly.
Everything went on. The curse upon
Darmi`s disobedience had happened. The stone covered almost all her body.
When the stone almost reached her
head, Darmi shed tears. All the people passing by the market saw this.
Likewise, they watched the girl crying.
The weather returned as normal. Now,
the stone had covered Darmi`s entire body, the disobedient girl. What a
miracle, the stone, due the present, keeps spouting water as if a crying girl.
Some people took the stone, and put it on a corner of the market. Since that
time, people called the stone the “crying stone.”
Here is the story about the origins
of the “crying stone,” which is originally from the
In the Tunjuk Ajar Melayu (Effendy: 2006), it is
said:
Kalau
hidup mendurhaka
Kemana pergi akan celaka
Kalau suka berbuat durhaka
Orang benci Tuhan pun murka
The
above pantun suggests that we should obey all our parents` good orders. Two
logic consequences of disobedience, as what the pantun says, are luring both
rage from God and surrounding people.
