Today at the last period, Bu Wahyu our Bahasa Indonesia teacher taught us about hikayat. It's an old epic literature that use ancient Melayu language. The story usually about fairytale, palaces, kings n queens, and other fantastic characters.
Then accidentally she told about the story, hikayat that she knew and very famous: One Thousand and One Nights (Kisah 1001 Malam).
"There is a king who actually wise, good, and low-profiled," she told us. "But because of his wife have an affair with her slave, he becomes very angry. Then he kills his wife and all the slaves. Since then he thinks that all women in the world are all the same. So he becomes very wicked, cruel, rough, and killer. For three years he asks his vizier to search virgin woman to married with. But the after the first night he always kills his new brides, yes after he enjoys them.-___- Until the virgins in that kingdom are almost gone. Then he marries a smart girl. In the first night, the girl tells a tale that ended unfinished so the king is curious about the ending. But the girl says that she won't finish the story because she will dead the morning. The king, because of his curiosity about the hikayat, postpones the execution until the next night. But the next night his new wife continuing a story and adds another new story but before it finished the time for execution is coming. The king postpones again the execution. It happens until 1001 nights. Wonderful right? *Can't you calculate how long is that? 2 half year more*, finally the wife never gets killed by the king. He and She lives happily ever after."
Then after coming home I searched on Google and find much more about the hikayat. The king name is Syahrayar and the queen is Syahrezad. Omooo what a beautiful name!
And I have a feeling that sultan Syahrayar is handsome! Because it shows on every tail of the tale that he just keep silent and hoping Shyahrezar continuing her story. No word. Speak just if it necessary. So cold :3
And somehow I think every guy that cold is cool and handsome at the same time :D
Thanks Bu Wahyu for the story ^^
