1000 Bukti Cinta?

Bandung Bondowoso datang ke istana Kerajaan Prambanan, yang telah jatuh ke tangannya, dan melihat seorang wanita cantik yang menarik hatinya. Ia ingin menikahi Roro Jonggrang, namun bekas luka kematian ayahnya menjadi alasan kuat untuk menolaknya.

Berhari-hari terkurung dan tertekan, menginisiasi Roro Jonggrang untuk memberikan penawaran yang mustahil untuk dipenuhi "Bangunlah seribu candi untukku, selesaikan sebelum matahari terbit".

Dengan kesaktiannya, Bandung Bondowoso meminta bantuan para jin untuk memudahkannya. Roro Jonggrang panik dan gelisah, berharap pagi segera datang.

Tumpukan jerami dibakar, padi ditumbuk dengan lesung, ayam jantan dikacaukan dan berkokok keras untuk memecah kesunyian. Para jin terkejut, mereka melihat cahaya, "kita harus pergi!" teriak mereka.

Roro Jonggrang: "Jumlahnya 999, kamu gagal"

Bandung Bondowoso: "Kalau begitu, kamu menjadi yang ke-1000"

1000 Proofs of Love?

Bandung Bondowoso came to the palace of the Prambanan Kingdom, which had fallen into his hands, and saw a beautiful woman who captured his heart. He wanted to marry Roro Jonggrang, but the scars of her father's death were a strong reason for rejection.

Days of confinement and pressure, initiated Roro Jonggrang to make an offer that would be impossible to fulfill "Build a thousand temples for me, finish before sunrise".

With his magic, Bandung Bondowoso enlisted the help of the genies, making it easy. Roro Jonggrang panicked and restless, hopefully morning will come soon.

Stacks of straw were burned, rice was pounded with a mortar, roosters were fooled and crowed loudly to break the silence. The genies were surprised, they saw a glow, "we have to go!" they shouted.

Roro Jonggrang: "999 in number, you failed"

Bandung Bondowoso: "If that's the case, you become the 1000th"

Story Reference

This story is popular in Indonesian society, especially in the Special Region of Yogyakarta and Central Java Province, and is often associated with the creation of one of the temples, namely Sewu Temple (Sewu = A Thousand) in the Prambanan Temple tourist complex. It is not in accordance with the historical path, but this story has been rooted in the cultural traditions of the local community and becomes a unique added value when conveyed to tourists visiting Prambanan Temple.

This mythical story about Prambanan Temple contains moral values that can be taken when told to children:

1. Do not act arbitrarily
2. Do not cheat

Because, both behaviors will find bad rewards.
