to us.”
B. Putih :
“Really Father? Do they love me as well?”
Father :
“Sure they do, So… No more tears okay?”
B. Putih :
“Alright Father, I love them with all of my heart.”
Not so long, the father went to town
for business.

Step mother :
”I’ll take care of the house and the kids. Go and do your business and don’t
worry about Bawang Putih, I’ll love her as my own daughter.”

After he left, the step mother and Bawang

Step mother : “Bawang Putih !! Come here !”

“Yes Mother ..”
Step mother : “Me and Bawang Merah will take a nap, so you must cook the
dinner for us.”

B. Putih :
“Oke Bawang Merah.”
In the step mother’s room.
B. Merah :
“Mom, why every body loves Bawang Putih instead of me ? Is she more beautiful
than me ?”
Step mother :
“No, she’s not. You’re the most beautiful girl in the world.”
B. Merah :
“Really mom ? But people say she’s beautiful and kind.”
Step mother :
“Let them talk whatever they want. Don’t worry about it, I’ll make her suffer
if that can make you happy, dear.”
Few weeks later. The father went back home.
The step mother and Bawang Merah wanted to have all of his wealth. And they
planned to kill him. So, they make a cup of tea that had poison in it.
B. Merah :
“Here’s Dad, a cup of tea for making you relax.”
Father :
“You’re so thoughtful, thank you…”
(He drinks it, step mother shows up)
“Wh … what you gave to me ?”
B. Merah :
“Nothing Daddy, it’s okay. It’ll help you to rest.”
B. Putih :
“Father.. What happen with you? What happen with him, Mom ?”
Step Mother : “He’ll rest … in peace…”
(Bawang Merah and step mother are laughing)
B. Putih :
“No… why are you so mean ?
In the night, Bawang Putih went to the park
and sat by herself on the bench. Suddenly, there was an old lady coming towards
her.
Old lady :
“Do you have something to eat?”
B. Putih :
“I’m sorry Grandma, I don’t but I’ve enough money for you.”
Old lady :
“Thank you, what a nice of you. In reverse I give you my only precious thing.
It’s a magical seed. It’ll grow in to plant that every body’ll look for. It can
cure many all of the disease. Here take it, my dear.”
B. Putih :
“No, thank you. I can’t take it.”
Old lady :
“It’s okay I want to you must take and plant it.”
B. Putih :
“Alright if you insist, thank you so much.”
Bawang
Putih went back home and plant the seed in front of the house. A few months
later, the plant was growing big. And there was a prince who looked for the
plant that could cure the king who was very sick. When he passed Bawang Putih’s
house, he saw the plant and knocked on the door.
Prince :
“Any body home ??”
B. Merah :
“OMG ! The prince … Mom, please come here, quick Mom !”
Prince :
“Eee, I saw the plant outside and I need it for the king. Can I have the
leaves, please?”
B. Merah :
“Sure, I get the knives, wait wait …”
(Bawang Merah went inside to find the knives)
Prince :
“Do you live alone with your daughter?”
Step mother : “O yeah, your majesty. We only live here alone since a long
time ago.”
Prince :
“How you get that plant? Because I have been looking for it everywhere and
gotn’t find it.”
Step mother :
“What so special with this plant?”
B. Merah :
“What Mom ? What did you ask?”
Prince :
“Oh, she ask me what’s the special of the plant.”
(They walked toward the plant)
B. Merah :
“Oh yaa, What’s the special about this plant?”
Prince :
“You’re the one who plant it, why you don’t know?”
B. Merah :
“Ehmm, I don’t know. I just plant it.”
Bawang
Merah cut the leaves but she couldn’t. The leaves is so strong. Then the step
mother tried, but she couldn’t. And the prince tried, he couldn’t also. Neither
of them cut it.
Old lady :
“Non of you cut it. Do you know why? You didn’t plant it. In fact, the plant chooses
the owner. Only the kind hearted person will be chosen.” (Stay in)
Prince :
“What?? You didn’t plant it? I thought you said you did.”
B. Merah :
“Eh uuhmm ehm heem… “ (confused)
Suddenly, Bawang Putih came from
market.
B. Putih :
“What are you doing to my plant, Bawang Merah?”
Prince :“Are
you the owner?”
B. Putih :
“Yes, I am. Who are you?”
Prince :
“I’m looking for your plant. Can I have some leaves for my father ? He is
sick.”
B. Putih :
“Oh oke, how much do you need? I’ll cut it for you.”
Prince :
“Thank you, what nice of you.”
Bawang
Putih cut the leaves and gave it to Prince.
Prince :
“Thank you, I’ll bring this back to the castle if you would like to, you can
come with me.”
(He tried to hold her hand but she hesitated)
Old lady :
“Go with him, you deserve to live happy.”
(She joins their hands together)
She went with the prince to the castle. And
live happily ever after.
