Once upon a time, in a quaint little village nestled between rolling hills and lush green fields, lived two inseparable friends named Aria and Leo. From a young age, they were known throughout the village for their strong bond and shared dreams. Both came from humble backgrounds, their families working tirelessly as farmers to make ends meet.
Aria and Leo had always been bright and curious, often spending their evenings under the ancient oak tree at the edge of the village, reading borrowed books and discussing their dreams of a better future. They knew that education was their ticket out of poverty, and they were determined to excel in school despite the many challenges they faced.
The nearest school was miles away, and every day, Aria and Leo would wake up before dawn to walk the long, dusty path. Rain or shine, their determination never wavered. They often helped each other with their homework and encouraged one another when times were tough. Their hard work did not go unnoticed by their teachers, who saw great potential in both of them.
Years passed, and their perseverance paid off. Aria and Leo both earned scholarships to attend a prestigious university in the city. It was a bittersweet moment for them as they bid farewell to their beloved village and their families, but they knew that this was a necessary step toward achieving their dreams.
University life was challenging, but Aria and Leo supported each other every step of the way. Aria majored in engineering, while Leo pursued business administration. They often pulled all-nighters studying and took on part-time jobs to cover their living expenses. Their bond grew even stronger as they navigated the complexities of city life together.
Upon graduation, Aria and Leo decided to combine their skills and start a business. With Aria's technical expertise and Leo's business acumen, they founded a tech startup that aimed to bring innovative solutions to the agricultural sector, inspired by their roots in the farming village. They faced numerous obstacles in the early days, from securing funding to developing their first product, but their unwavering determination saw them through.
Their startup gradually gained traction, attracting investors and customers alike. They developed cutting-edge technology that revolutionized farming practices, making them more efficient and sustainable. As their business flourished, Aria and Leo never forgot where they came from. They invested in their village, building schools, providing scholarships, and creating job opportunities for the locals.
Years later, Aria and Leo stood atop the world as successful and wealthy entrepreneurs. They had achieved their dreams together, and their village had transformed into a thriving community. The once humble friends were now celebrated figures, not just for their business success, but for their dedication to giving back and uplifting others.
Their journey from a small village to the heights of success was a testament to the power of friendship, hard work, and unwavering determination. Aria and Leo proved that no matter where you come from, with the right mindset and support, anything is possible.

Once upon a time, in a seaside village in Padang, West Sumatra lived a widow called Mande Rubayah with her only son, Malin Kundang. Mande Rubayah loved her son so much, which turned Malin Kundang a spoiled child.
One day, Malin Kundang suffered a severe sickness, that his mother gave every cent of her life savings to cure his illness.
Days, months, and years passed by, Malin Kundang turned adult and his mother an old woman. Malin Kundang asked his mother to let him hitch a docked ship nearby and wander to the big cities to get better fortunes for the family.
Mande denied his request and asked Malin to stay and take care of his mother instead.
“Mother, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for me. Not every year a ship this large docks here. I want to take this opportunity to change our fate, please let me go,” Malin pleaded his mother.
With a sad heart, Mande finally accepted his plea.
“Please be back soon, my child. I will be waiting for you here,” Mande cried.
Days by days passed slowly while waiting for Malin. She prayed every single day for Malin to go home safely. To every ship’s crews and captains, she asked for Malin’s whereabouts and did not get a single answer nor message for her.
Many years full of waiting passed and Mande Rubayah grew older and weaker, while she heard the news from a ship captain nearby that Malin married to a noble and rich woman from a big city. “Mande, do you know that your son is now married to a beautiful woman, a daughter of a very rich noble,” said the captain.
“Malin, my son. Please go home soon, I am already old and weak. Please be home soon,” his mother prayed every single day to meet her long-awaited son.
Months later, another large ship docked near the village. It was the most luxurious and beautiful ship Mande had ever seen. A pair of rich couples walked off the ship with lustrous and gold-embroidered attires. Mande immediately recognized the couple, rushed through the crowds, and hugged the rich man in the lustrous attire.
“Malin, my son. You’re back!” Mande broke her tears happily and relieved. “Why didn’t you send me a message? I miss you, my child”.
Unexpectedly, Malin jolted and pushed Mande away from him. His wife also looked down on Mande without any respect. Malin’s wife spat and shouted at Malin and Mande, “Is this rumpled old woman your mother? Why would you lie to me, Malin? You said that your mother is also a noblewoman like me?”
Hearing that, Malin became furious and pushed his mother to fall to the sand, “You mad woman! I am not your son!” he snapped at his mother.
Mande Rubayah sunk in disbelief and hugged Malin’s feet. “Malin, oh Malin! I’ve been waiting for you this long. Why would you do this to me, your mother?”
Full of anger, Malin kicked his mother away, “You are not my mother. You are ugly, poor, and dirty,” yelled Malin.
Mande cried brokenheartedly. She felt weak, sad, and desperate while Malin and his wife turned their backs and walked away to their ship.
The ship sailed away and the crowds left Mande alone by the shore. Mande cried and prayed, “Oh, God. If he was not my son, I will forgive his actions to me. But if he is Malin Kundang, I ask you for your righteousness!”
Immediately, the sky turned dark and the wind blew violently. The rain fell upon the earth with a destructive storm.
The storm shook Malin’s ship, furious thunders hit the ship unforgivingly and blazed it into pieces.
The next morning, shipwrecks shored near the village with a kneeling man-shaped stone between the debris. This stone was believed as the cursed form of Malin Kundang, kneeling for forgiveness from his mother until today.
That is the story of Malin Kundang from West Sumatra, with an important message for us all. Love your parents unconditionally, in any condition. Never forget their good deeds for us. (*)
