Time for Storyteller: "Jayaprana and Layonsari"

Hello, ini adalah salah satu cerita yang pernah aku bawakan sewaktu lomba storytelling. Cerita cinta ini berasal dari Bali. Cerita ini telah disunting sedemikian rupa. So here is the story..



A long time ago in the kingdom of Kalianget, a small village in North Bali, there lived a powerful king, whose name has long been forgotten. It happened an epidemic struck the whole village, killing most of villagers. One of the few survivors was I Nyoman Jayaprana, and then he live in the palace to serve the King.
 In the palace Jayaprana grew up to become a handsome, brave and intelligent young man and became the favorite of the palace maids. The King thought it was time for Jayaprana to be married. “Please, you’re Majesty! I’m not intended to reject the word of the King. I want to get married but not with the palace maids. If permitted, I want to seek a wife outside the palace” said Jayaprana with respect. “Well Jayaprana if that’s what you want. I’m not going to stop you to choose a wife according to the choice of your heart,” said the King. Then, he went to the market and he saw a very beautiful girl, called Ni Nyoman Layonsari, and fell in love with her at the first sight. Layonsari too, later fell in love with Jayaprana, and then the couple were engaged to married.
Soon, the wedding took place at the palace. Everybody was so happy. However, the King was not happy at all. After the wedding party, the King ordered his loyal man, Maha Patih Saunggaling. “Layonsari is too precious for a servant like Jayaprana. I want her! So that’s why I ordered you go to Teluk Terima, and kill Jayaprana there, but not let Layonsari know about this” he said.
The following day, Jayaprana got an order from the King. He was go to Teluk Terima with Maha Patih Saunggaling. Before leaving for the battle Jayaprana gave Layonsari a message; “Layonsari, My beautiful wife, if this flower turns wilted, it indicates that I’m killed. I believe, if you’re wait faithfully for me, our love will exist forever” Layonsari became very sad, then Layonsari sang for Jayaprana with her deepest heart.
After arriving in the jungle, Saunggalin gave Jayaprana a letter from the King, it read; “Jayaprana I have ordered you to this place because I want to get rid of you. Saunggaling will cut your head and Layonsari shall be my wife.”
After reading the letter Jayaprana knew that this only a trap. Saunggaling then killed him.
Meanwhile, in the palace, Layonsari was convinced that something bad had happened to her husband, then the flower that given by her husband has been wilted.
“Layonsari, I feel very sorry that my beloved man, your husband, has died in the fight in Teluk Terima. I understand how difficult it is for you to face this, therefore I’ve come here to propose you to be my wife,” he said.
“No, impossible. I’d rather die, than be slaves to marry someone who had killed my husband!” Layonsari refused him firmly, then Layonsari run to the kingdom’s weapon stored, the king ran after her quickly, but it was too late. Layonsari pick up a keris and stabbed her self. Blood gushed from her body. “Layonsari! What are you doing! Are you crazy?!” the King screamed, knowing that he had failed.
