Calonarang

The newest Version of Calonarang (2012)
Long time ago in Girah village lived an old woman. Her name was Calonarang. She was a powerful women and she had magical powers. Calonarang had a daughter named Ratna Mangali who was very beautiful. Yet, nobody wanted to marry her because they were afraid of her mother, who was known as a bad witch. One day Calonarang has over reacted and the people were worried about it. People asked the King about the problem and then the King told about it to Empu Bradah who was the elder of the village. On their meeting, Empu Bradah had an idea to married his student named Bahula to Ratna Mangali, and after that he could steal Calonarang’s book and then he would defeat her, because the book was her secret powers.


One day, there are two men talk about Calonarang and her daughter.
People 1 : hi wayan, have you heard about the news?
People 2 : the news? What news Made?
People1 : Have you heard about what did calonarang do last night?
People2 : what did happen?
People1 : I heard that Calonarang killed Men Ayu’s baby by her black magic,
People2 : oh no!What the hell, I never thought that Ratna Mangali has a witch mother,
People1 : hmmm Ratna again, you really like her right?
People2 : hmmm, she is a beautiful rose, right? Hahaha
People 1 : yeah, yeah,

After that Calonarang comes and she gets angry when she hears them talking about her daughter and herself.
Calonarang : hey you, what you are talking about? oughhh,, that’s great. Let me curse you!!! (calonarang almost curses that people)
People 2 : no! Please, we are sorry,,
People 1 : please forgive us!
Calonarang : okay this time I forgive you, but if I hear you talk about me and my daughter,
I’ll cut your feet. (calonarang walks away)
People 1 : ouh,, we are lucky that she didn’t kill us.
People 2 : yeah sure, how if we tell it to the king.
People 1 : Ok, let’s Go!
The people go to the palace to talk about this incident with the king.
People 1&2 : sir, I’m sorry to bother you, but Calonarang has over reacted now! We think that is possibly dangerous for us.
King : are you sure?
People 1 : We are sure sir! We faced her this afternoon, when we were talking about her. She was so angry and wanted to kill us!
King : ohhhh no!
People 1 : we think that you need to be wary sir!
King : Okay, thank you for your information. I’ll take care of it.
People 1&2 : you’re welcome sir!

The King is wondering what should he do. And then he gets an idea. He has to talk with Empu Bradah, the elder at Girah Village.
The king : (takes his phone and calls Empu Bradah), hello Empu,, where are you? I want to talk to you.
Bradah : I’m at home my king,
The King : I will come now!
Bradah : Okay sir, I will wait for you.
The King goes to Empu Bradah house and he comes in few minutes
The King : Empu, Empu. What should I do to Calonarang?
Bradah : Hi sir, what’s happening?
The King : Someone told me that she over reacted this morning.
Bradah : Oh, really, did she kill someone?
The King : Not yet, but probably in the future
Bradah : wow, yeah sure, she should be defeated
The king : but how?
Bradah : I have an idea, if I’m not wrong, Calonarang has a secret magic book. That book supplies her power. If we had the book, we will kill her easily.
The King : and how do we get the book? is it possible that she will lend it to us?
Bradah : of course that’s not possible. What if we send my student to marry her daughter ‘Ratna’. Then he can steal the book and, after that, defeat calonarang.
The King : I think that is a great plan. But, do your student and Ratna already know each other?
Bradah : no, they don’t, but it will be easy to do, we just need a method.
The King : okay, if that’s good, let’s do it!
Bradah : I’ll talk to my student. His name is Bahula.
The King : that’s great, do it immediately!, Okay, I have to go now.
Bradah : Take care sir!
So, Empu Bradah meets Bahula to talk about his plan.
Bradah : Good evening my son, Bahula
Bahula : hey, good evening sir. What is going on?
Bradah : Bahula, do you know Calonarang?
Bahula : yeah of course I know, everybody knows about her
Bradah : The king told me that she’s over reacted now. We have to defeat her.
Bahula : But how???
Bradah : yesterday, I talked with the king. We have a plan that you should get married to her daughter. So we can steal her secret book.
Bahula : oh ya, that’s a great plan. But Calonarang’s daughter doesn’t know me, how do I get her attention?
Bradah : you just need to go to the river and meet her there, she always washes her clothes there every morning,
Bahula : that’s a good idea, when do I do it?
Bradah : what about tomorrow morning. We have to do it immediately before the situation gets worse.
Bahula : okay, I’ll go to the river to fish tomorrow morning, and there I will meet ‘hmmmmm who’s her name?
Bradah : Ratna Mangali,!!!
Bahula : yeahh,, Ratna Mangali,,
Bradah : please do a good job!
Bahula : Yes sir,

The next day Bahula goes to the river where Ratna always does washing clothes and her sarongs, Bahula is very surprised to see how beautiful Ratna Mangali is.
Ratna : nanana…….hmmm….
Bahula : (whistling)………………………….. ohh what a beautiful morning today is,, I hope that I can catch a lot of fish, (singing a bit) (he looks at Ratna and asking permission to fish near her) Excuse me, may I fish here?
Ratna : (looks at Bahula. She thinks that Bahula seems very nice and respectful) hmm hmmm of course sir! This river is free for everyone.
Bahula : Oh really, you are very kind. I’ve never met you before. Do you come from around here?
Ratna : yes sir, I come from Girah Village.

Ratna : hmmm thank you sir, but you’ve praised me too much. Don’t make me become proud. hehe I’m Ratna, Ratna Mangali!

Bahula : bye, see you
Ratna leaves Bahula alone at the river.
Bahula : oughh,, she is so beautiful, I never met a very beautiful woman on this village.

Unintentionally Ratna and Bahula are falling in love each other, and promise to meet at the river the next day.
After that, Bahula calls Empu Bradah and tells him to come to the river.
Bahula : Oh yeah, I have to call my teacher to tell about this (he takes his phone)
Bradah : (phone ringing, Bradah accepts the phone) hello,
Bahula : Hello sir, It’s me Bahula, please come to the river, I have to tell you something.
Bradah : okay my son wait. 5 minutes!
Bahula : yes sir! (He puts the phone)
After that Bradah arrives in few minutes
Bradah : hi, my son. What was happening? How did you do about getting Ratna Mangali’s attention?
Bahula : hmmmm I’ve just met her this morning sir,, and I think she is a beautiful woman.
