Roro Jonggrang

Roro Jonggrang
Long time ago, there was a kingdom named Prambanan. All the people of Prambanan lived
peacefully. But then, Prambanan kingdom was attacked and occupied by the Pengging
kingdom. Prambanan then was ruled by Bandung Bondowoso of Pengging kingdom. He was
a mean king. He also had great supernatural power. His soldiers were not only humans,
but also genies.
The king of Prambanan had a beautiful daughter named Roro Jonggrang. Bandung
Bondowoso fell in love with her and wanted to marry her. “You’re very beautiful. Would
you be my queen?” asked Bandung Bondowoso. Roro Jonggrang was shocked. She didn’t
like Bandung Bondowoso because he was a mean person. She wanted to refuse, but she
afraid that Bandung Bondowoso would be angry and endangered the people of
Prambanan. Then, she came up with a plan. “If you want to marry me, you have to build a
thousand temples for me in just one night," said Roro Jonggrang. “What? That’s
impossible!” said Bandung Bondowoso. But he did not give up. He consulted with his
advisor. “Your Majesty can asked the genies to help built the temples,” said the advisor.
So, Bandung Bondowoso summoned his entire genies soldier and commanded them to
help him built a thousand temples. The genies worked in unbelievable speed. Meanwhile,
Roro Jonggrang heard from her servant that the building of a thousand temples was
almost finished. She was so worried. But again, she came up with a great idea. She
asked all of her servants to help her. "Please prepare a lot of straw and mortar. Please
hurry up!" said Roro Jonggrang. “Burn the straw and make some noise pounding the
mortar, quickly.” All those servants did what Loro Jonggrang ordered them; burning
straw and pounding the mortar, making the genies think that the sun is going to rise.
“It’s already dawn. We have to go,” said the leader of the genies to Bandung Bondowoso.
All the genies immediately stopped their work and ran for cover from the sun, which
they afraid of. They didn’t know that the light was from the fire that burning the
straw, not from the sun.
Bandung Bondowoso can’t stop the genies from leaving. He was angry. He knew Roro
Jonggrang had just tricked him. "You cannot fool me, Roro Jonggrang. I already have
999 temples. I just need one more temple. Now, I will make you the one-thousandth
temple." He pointed his finger to Roro Jonggrang and said some mantras. Magically,
Roro Jonggrang’s body turned into stone. Until now, the temple is still standing in
Prambanan area, Central Java. And the temple is called Roro Jonggrang temple.***

hanya manusia, tetapi juga jin.
Raja Prambanan memiliki seorang putri cantik bernama roro Jonggrang. Bandung
Bondowoso jatuh cinta padanya dan ingin menikahinya. "Kau sangat cantik. Apakah Anda
mau menjadi ratu ku? "Tanya Bandung Bondowoso. Roro Jonggrang terkejut. Dia tidak
suka Bandung Bondowoso karena dia orang yang berarti. Dia ingin menolak, tapi dia takut
bahwa Bandung Bondowoso akan marah dan membahayakan masyarakat Prambanan.
Kemudian, ia datang dengan rencana. "Jika Anda ingin menikahi saya, Anda harus
membangun seribu candi bagi saya hanya dalam satu malam," kata Roro Jonggrang. "Apa?
Itu tidak mungkin!" Kata Bandung Bondowoso. Tapi dia tidak menyerah. Dia berkonsultasi
dengan penasihat . "yang Mulia bisa meminta jin untuk membantu membangun candi,"
kata penasehat.
Jadi, Bandung Bondowoso memanggil jin dan seluruh prajurit dan memerintahkan
mereka untuk membantunya membangun seribu candi. Para jin bekerja dalam kecepatan
yang luar biasa. Sementara itu, Roro Jonggrang mendengar dari hamba bahwa
pembangunan seribu candi itu hampir selesai. Dia sangat khawatir. Tapi Roro Jonggrang
mendapatka ide Dia meminta semua pelayannya untuk membantunya. "Silakan
mempersiapkan banyak jerami dan mortir. Tolong cepat sedikit!" kata Loro Jonggrang.
"Membakar jerami dan membuat beberapa kebisingan berdebar mortir, cepat." Semua
pegawai negeri yang melakukan apa Roro Jonggrang perintahkan kepada mereka;
membakar jerami dan menumbuk lesung, ini membuat jin berpikir bahwa matahari akan
meningkat.
"Ini sudah fajar. Kami harus pergi, "kata pemimpin jin ke Bandung Bondowoso. Semua jin
segera menghentikan pekerjaan mereka dan berlari untuk berlindung dari matahari, yang
mereka takut. Mereka tidak tahu bahwa terang itu dari api yang membakar jerami,
bukan dari matahari.
Bandung Bondowoso tidak bisa menghentikan jin untuk meninggalkanya. Dia marah. Dia
tahu Roro Jonggrang baru saja menipunya. "Kau tidak bisa menipuku, Roro Jonggrang.
Saya telah membuar 999 candi. Aku hanya perlu satu lagi kuil. Sekarang, saya akan
membuat Anda menjadi candi yang keseribu." Dia menunjuk jarinya ke Roro Jonggrang
dan mengatakan beberapa mantra. Ajaib, tubuh Roro Jonggrang berubah menjadi batu.
Sampai saat ini, candi masih berdiri di wilayah Prambanan, Jawa Tengah. Dan candi ini
disebut candi Roro Jonggrang. ***
