Folktales: Malin Kundang Nowadays

Once upon a time, there lived a poor family consisting of a mother and his child named Malin, which is being issued that Malin’s father is missing since he was a baby, some villagers says that  his father has passed away as a fisherman when he went to the sea. Meanwhile, his mother just kept worrying about the issues, and Malin try to calm her down,

“Don’t worry Mom, no matter whether dad is still alive or not, we just have to continue our live as usual”,  Said Malin.

But his mother just keep gloomy, “I just can’t keep calm, your father always text me or at least, leave a misscall if he is about to go to the sea”,

“Maybe he ran out of battery, and forgot to bring his power bank”,

“Ah you’re right, but it’s been fifteen years since he left”,

“Wait what? Fifteen years? Umm.. I’m not sure about this, but its like he bought a new power bank”,

“It doesn't matter Malin! The thing is, how we gonna pay our credit car, your internet package, and also my brand new dress??”,

“Don’t worry mom, I’ll try to catch more fishes and sell it online, they says that is the best way to sold your items with no risk”,

“Oh Thanks god, you are the smartest boy that i’ve ever had!”,

“Yeah I am! but mom, I’m the only child that you have..”,

“That’s why you’re become the smartest one!”,

“.....”,

The next day, Malin went to the sea as always, and as he talked yesterday with her mom, Malin bring more amount of fishes, because he join Mancing Mania boat with Dudit Widodo and learn a new and effective ways to fishing. As he said, he bring those fishes to his home and take few pictures before he uploaded it to Tokobugis.com.

“There, there, and there, stay sexy fishes! Now let’s go to Tokobugis.com... what is going on? The web page is not available!? Argh come on! I ran out of quota!? It must because of her, if only i stop stalking her Instagram, I’ll save more quota today”,

 And Malin’s mother come, “What’s up, dear? You look so low-spirited today”,

“I dont know whether i ran out of quota or the 3G access is no longer available in our village now”,

“Ah I know, I’ll go to the town to get better connection and uploaded it”, Malin continue.

“What?”, Malin's mother shocked after hearing that.

“Don’t worry Mom, we still could have a chat by Skype, right?”,

“Ok, but promise me to back after you done with your business”,

“I promise”,

Writers opinion: The weirdest thing is, how do they able to chat via Skype while Malin can’t even open a common web page? Well, the story is just keep going guys, let's skip this part....

In town...

“Okay now, i already bought six gigabyte quota, let’s go to the web... *typing* Tokobugis.com...

“Now what? “The web is currently under maintenance, please come back later”,
“Aw, what should I do during this maintenance... maybe I’ll just going to stalk her again now”,

After that, Malin doing what he always do to kill his time, stalking Mirna’s instagram, his neighborhood and his only crush when he was a baby, but Malin is just a plain boy, he don’t have enough brave to confess his feeling to her. 

While stalking, Malin accidentally open a strange web that let him to sign and choose a few number in a row, since Malin is just a plain and innocent boy, he followed the instruction, then something unbelievable happen, Malin’s number is chosen as the luckiest one, and he win one billion US dollar cash. Since that time, he is known as the luckiest guy and become the richest guy in town, Malin still haven’t post his fishes until that time. He is famous, rich and also he married the most beautiful girl in town, prettier than Mirna but have a bad character, money-oriented. As a young businessman, Malin made his own online company called Malinmall.com.

In the middle of his crowded time, he decided to take a few days to holiday, he went to the quiet village with small population of villagers. The villagers recognized him, the news spread rapidly around the village and old woman ran to the plaza where is Malin just step down from his gold Limo. accompanied by his wife and some guards.

That old woman was Malin’s mother, she was very happy and can’t wait to met her only lovely son. Malin, which is known as the richest man in town so shy and denied her. And that made his mother upset.

“But Malin, I’m your mother, your only mother, why dont you check our latest selfie on my Instagram”,

“Hahaha! Selfie? Us? It’s obviously impossible, this lady sure know how to treat her idol”,

“Malin, and don’t say you forgot we tweet each other”,

“What tweet? I never have any chat with an old lady like you”,

Then Malin mother check his smartphone and open twitter and instagram also. But, she was shock after she find out that Malin, her only son, block her twitter and unfollow his instagram account. And that’s the most heaviest thing to be accepted to her.

“How dare you Malin, you’re not only recognize me as your mother but you block my twitter and unfollow my instagram?!!!”,

“*sigh*, Guard! Get this old lady out of my view!”,

“Malin, I won’t never forgive you for what you’ve done and I hope you’ll get the return more pathetic for the end of your life!”,

A few moment later after that, Malin step down to his new apartment in that village, that’s still under construction. But suddenly, Malin slipped because of banana peel and went through the mortar that has been turned on. And Malin body was fully layered by building material such as sand, split stone and cement. And completely turn his body into a solid stone that looked like human statue.


There are two point that can we take as a learn from this story. First, you can’t buy happiness, but you can buy something that makes you happy, that is why, never let yourself just sitting on the comfort zone and always try to be independent for your own secondary needs. Try to make money by yourself just like what Malin did.

 Second, Of course it is important to not make our parents upset, especially our mother, she is the most meritorious people in our live, start from we was a baby, she never say no to clean our drops and to stay awake all the night just to make sure that we keep wakeless. 

This story is dedicated to every super mother that never tired to take care of their children. *Peace*
