Bawang Merah & Bawang Putih

*It was a story about a girl

But her father just passed away

Her stepmother and stepsister

Always treated her so badly

And she is Bawang Putih

Once upon a time in East Java, lived a beautiful girl named Bawang Putih. She was very kindhearted, but unfortunately her father had passed away. And she lived with her stepmother and stepsister. Before her father passed away, her stepmother and stepsister were very kind to her. But actually that was a trick to get a treasure from Bawang Putih’s father, so they could be richer...richer...and richer... Everyday, Bawang Putih’s stepmother and stepsister treated her so badly. Bawang Putih had to do all of the housework.

Stepmother             : “Oh my to the God ! Bawang Putih...Bawang Putih...Bawang Putih... why does my house looks very mesed up? Is it a house or a bird nest, ha??? And look at this cloth, it’s very dirty overhere, overhere, and overhere! Hey after you cleaning this house, you must go to the market, clean this dishes, wash the clothes in the river, and you must cook a delicious meals, you get it Bawang Putih?”

Bawang Putih              : “But mother, I have to....”

Stepmother                 : “Blah...blah...blah, no but! Wake up Bawang Putih! your father just passed away, and now, I’m not your mother again but I’m your boss! Come on Bawang Putih, do your job!”

Bawang Putih         : “Emh, okay mom, I’ll do that. Oh my God, why did they treated my so badly? Do they think that I’m a smartphone that can do many tasks in one time? But nevermind, keep fighting, a rainbow will come after this hurricane.”

After Bawang Putih cleaned the house, she wash the clothes in the river.

Suddenly, there was a goldfish which looked for a help and it said : “beautiful lady, help me. My mouth involved with an angler, please release this angler from my mouth, please help me.”

Bawang Putih felt very sad to see the fish condition, so she helped it and they became a bestfriend. Everyday when Bawang Putih went to the river to  wash the clothes, the goldfish helped her then whoosh all of the clothes will be cleaning quickly only by said “semriwing3x”. Therefore Bawang Putih could go home faster than before. But, her stepsister, Bawang Merah knew that a goldfish helped Bawang Putih, so when Bawang Putih went home, Bawang Merah caught that goldfish and cooked it.

Bawang Merah     : “Hey yuhuu Bawang Putih, let’s get our dinner together. I just caught a fish for you, Bawang Putih!

Bawang Putih      : “oh Bawang Merah, you’re so kind. Thank you BM. Emmh but, it tastes like a goldfish. Heeey Bawang Merah, did you catch a goldfish in that river??!”

Bawang Merah      : “ohoho of course Bawang Putih, this goldfish will make your stomach not feel hungry again, haha.”

Bawang Putih felt very guilty because she couldn’t take care of the goldfish, and she cried. Than she burried the goldfish’s bones in front of her house. One day, surprisingly grew a big tree from the goldfish’s bones with golden leaves.

But, on the other side, there was a prince who looked for a magical tree that could make his father be well again. He was very confused to find that tree.

*Where is it 2x

Where’s the tree 2x

Where is it 2x

Where’s the tree 2x

Now I’m very confused

Cause I can’t find the tree

But I will keep try, to find that tree

And finally, he could find the tree. But when the prince asked everyone to pull the tree, no one can pull it. Then, Bawang Putih come forward to see the prince. And she could pulled the tree easily. She gave that tree to the prince. Because of that tree, the prince’s father could be well again. After that, the prince came back to Bawang Putih’s village. He said his gratitude to Bawang Putih. but actually at the 1^st sight, he felt love with Bawang Putih.

Prince            : “Beautiful lady, thank you for the tree. Now my father can be well again. But what’s your name?”

Bawang Putih    : “Your welcome prince. My name is Bawang Putih.”

Prince   ,            : “oh Bawang Putih, your heart and your manner as gentle as the white snow. And that was made me falling in love with you. Would you marry me, Bawang Putih?”

Bawang Putih only smiled and nooded.

Finally, the prince married her and Bawang Putih apologized her stepmother and stepsister. And they lived happily ever after.
