King Oma and Queen Idul

THE QUEEN AND THE KING

In a kingdom named Dangdang Dudutan, lives a very wealthy and generous king. His territory is very large. His land is famous with its natural resources. His people are prosperous. None of the youngsters stop their study in elementary school. Even the kingdom gives scholarships for his people who want to continue his study in Doctoral degree. The king himself has a doctoral degree. He is very handsome. He is also muscular and in a good shape. The king’s name is Omah Iramah.

“My people must be smart! They must study until the end! I don’t want our kingdom crawls and being left behind by other empires. Let them study for free.” ordered the king.

One day, the king and some bodyguards, such as Aa Rai, Bung Napi, and Kentung, were riding horses in their hunting trip. They were hunting down Bugs Bunny and Woody Woodpecker. Then, something came up. Suddenly, a very big tiger passed in front of them. The tiger was just passing, but the horses were shocked and terrified. They neighed fearfully and stood on two of their back legs so that the king fell on the ground. The bodyguards helped him right away.

“Are you alright, your majesty? Are you hurt? Which one is hurt, sire?” said his bodyguards.

Fortunately, the king only had light injury. There were only some scratches on his bottom, but he was alright. So the king was taken back to the castle.

But something strange happened. Since the accident, the king became so moody. He never smiled since then. He lost his appetite, and he didn’t want to do his hobby anymore.

“Your majesty, please eat some. We don’t want our king to be sick.” said Prince Ariel Belerman and Princess Agnes Moniroo.

“Leave me alone. Don’t disturb me.” exclaimed the king.

It had been a week and the king mysterious illness had not been recovered. Some doctors had been sent and tried to cure him, but none was successful. Everybody in the castle was confused and frustrated. They asked to themselves how long it would last.

One day, Prince Ariel was running to the palace. He seemed so happy. He wanted to tell every member of the family about what he dreamed last night.

“Folks, I dreamed last night. In my dream, there was an old man with long thick beard wearing white robe came to me. He said that father’s illness can be healed.” said Prince Ariel.

“Oh, ya. How?” asked Princess Agnes curiously.

“In the dream, we must invite a queen from Java Island. The queen has a healing power to make anyone happy. She has a unique way in curing someone. She is not only famous in her kingdom, but also in her neighboring countries.”

“How can we invite her?” said the Prime Minister.

“Officially, and don’t forget money, money, money.” answered the prince.

“We can arrange that. By the way, what’s her name? Princess Agnes asked.

“Idul Daranista”

A week later, the queen came. Everybody was very hopeful waiting for her. They were so worried if she could not make it.

After resting for a while, Idul asked the prime minister to take her to the king.

“Where’s the king, sir? asked Idul.

“Right over here, ma’am. Let me take you there.” answered the prime minister.

In front of the king, Idul hurriedly prepared everything. She asked the butler to find a stereo. The king just stared indifferently. When everything was ready, she inserted a magical cassette to the stereo and the king’s bedroom became so lively. Idul began to dance. Firstly, she moved her body, then bent her arms, nodded her head, and when the music got hotter, she began to show her magical movement. It was very very attractive. It was a drilling move. It was slow in the beginning, then it became faster and faster. That was why the king was startled. His mouth was opened, and he could not blink his eyes. Then suddenly he laughed very loudly.

“Ha…ha…ha…. It’s like my mother’s movement when she is playing hoola hoop. But this one is more interesting. Ha…ha…ha…..”

“Listen, the king is laughing. He’s been recovered. Thanks God!” said Prince Ariel and Princess Agnes Moniroo.

“Well, guys. I’ve done my job. I think your king is alright now. Then I can not stay any longer here. I still have things to do in my neighboring country, Singaparna. I’m sure you have arranged my payment.” said Idul.

“Oh, off course. Anyway we are very grateful to you. How will it be if there’s no you here. Thanks a lot.” said Princess Agnes.

From the distance, suddenly the king said charismatically, “Idul, please don’t go. Stay here for a few more days.”

“Sorry, king. I can’t. If you miss me, just buy my CD. Okay?” said the queen.

Since then, the king is back to normal. He likes to listen to Idul’s songs through a singing box and watch her miraculous living pictures. They can only listen to her songs. He said that this can make his people play jokes at his mother.

What a king.
