Raden Simbar was so angry when he found out that several times Dewi Ranggis, the beautiful girl of the village next door refused his will to be fed. He was angry because the village flower did not pay attention to his beautiful face and position that was very influential to all corners of the village. Though none of the village girls who are able to refuse his love, not even rarely they themselves who come voluntarily surrender themselves to Raden Simbar.
But another case with Dewi Ranggis, the girl who is a prima donna in the village next door is not interested in nobility, nor with the good looks of Raden Simbar. Had the girl's eyes been blind so that there was absolutely no glittering gold before her. Is it not at all glare with the good looks of Raden Simbar who has been famous to the corners of the country? Or is there another man who has dazzled the heart of Dewi Ranggis so that absolutely none of his charms make the heart of the girl subdued?
If it is true that there are other men in the heart of Dewi Ranggis, he is eager to see what kind of man who has alienated the eyes of Ranggis from seeing him.
Raden Simbar clenched his hand again. Time and again he unconsciously had to shout as the indifferent demeanor of Goddess Ranggis filled his memories.
Raden...,Raden...!" suddenly a scream was heard calling from a distance. Raden Simbar turned his head and looked to him a thin man running a little towards him. Look Raden Simbar in the eye. The anger he was holding back then threw him into the man's face.
“Badness, what's wrong with you Keling. Do you not know that I am currently angry because Dewi Ranggis rejects my love?"Raden Simbar said. The man he called Keling could only bow down in fear while grimacing withstanding the pain on his face.
“Why are you silent son of a bitch!, you have surprised me as if there was important news you brought. And now you're silent as if you just wanted to surprise me with your call" he said, increasingly angry to see Keling only speechless. Keling tried to dare to raise his head. With a stammering voice he began to tell stories.
“Begini Raden, earlier I saw Dewi Ranggis with a man in the river village.”
A loud slap landed back on Keling's face. Rivet back grimacing holding his face. He was in real pain after being slapped twice in the face by Raden Simbar.
“What? Ranggis with other men? Are you not making a Keling? Did you intentionally make me even more angry? You dare say that there are other men besides me with Ranggis?"
“Hamba couldn't have dared to lie to Raden. What I say is a fact that I have to tell you because I know, Dewi Ranggis is absolute only to a Raden,"
“Now tell me who the man is, where he came from and what he looks like. Is more handsome than me, more dashing than me so say hello to me like Ranggis does not want,” said Raden Simbar growled. The hue of the face of the Rivet that had been stiff in fear seemed to begin to slacken.
“ Between him and Raden is like heaven and earth. Even compared to him, the servant is much more interesting,” said Keling.
Raden Simbar's forehead shriveled. His eyes filled with a glance into Rivet's eyes looking for the truth about the words that Keling had just said.
“Are you not entertaining me Keling?"
“Not at all Raden, this is reality. If you do not believe, Raden can come see firsthand what kind of male lover Dewi Ranggis looks like.”
Raden Simbar was silent looking at Keling. There was honesty he caught from a smile on his lips. “There's no way he's lying to me,” inner Raden Simbar.

“Gading, do you know how happy I am today? Like a dream and if it is true, I do not want to quickly wake up from it,” said Dewi Ranggis smiling. Her soft moon-like eyes made Ivory, who was still stroking her hair, trapped between her happiness and her hump.
“Thanks Ranggis. This is the most beautiful gift to me. I can no longer peek at you in my every glance. I have never been grandiose enough to have you. But now the Power has made everything easy. Allow this dirty skin of mine to touch your sacred skin,” Ivory said humbly while wiping away the melted tears on her black face. Ranggis smile. His white hands rubbed the melted tears on Ivory's face.
“Hold my hand Ivory and promise us we will not leave each other,” said Dewi Ranggis. Ivory clasped Dewi Ranggis' hand and kissed her. The two began to sink into each other's arms.
The water rattled softly between the rocks. The wild sound of bamboo leaves blown by the wind and the chirping of small birds that hold a rhythm for lovers who are lulled in romance. A beautiful Goddess with a pair of beautiful eyeballs, a white neckline, blushing red cheeks and unraveling hair like silk at night. A ugly man. As shameless as putting the head of the Goddess on his lap. Like a black charcoal that muddies the princess' well water. But he did not budge as the wind brought breaths and envious chirping from all directions. Shed thousands upon thousands of spit upon the shoulders of the mute-rulled Ivory. Drowning with the goddess.
“Ranggis! Shameless. Woman ******! Because of this man, do you not heed all my words and words? What do you expect from the offspring of this monkey.” Dewi Ranggis and Gading. Raden Simbar stood around his waist with his Rivet bowed behind him. Dewi Ranggis rose and immediately met Raden Simbar.
“Enough! You have no right to say anything bad to your lover. You have no right to know my business. Not at all Simbar. You may be quite proud of all the advantages you have, but that does not mean everyone will submit in front of you” said Dewi Ranggis with a sharp gaze. Raden Simbar grew furious.
“You dare say that to me Goddess? You know what you'll get for insulting me?” said Raden Simbar while pointing at the face of Dewi Ranggis. Goddess Ranggis smiled faintly.
“Very know. If you are not exiled, you will kill me. But don't think we're afraid of Raden. We will make the death of it if it is the best for our love” said Dewi Ranggis firmly. He then turned and passed away leaving Raden Simbar still flabbergasted in disbelief at what Ranggis had said.

“Why you Ivory. Why are you crying?”Dewi Ranggis asked in surprise when she saw Ivory sobbing and released the hand grip of Dewi Ranggis. Ivory just bowed. Dewi Ranggis approached and tried to wipe away the tears on Ivory's face, but Ivory immediately ignited it. Dewi Ranggis is getting curious.
“Go Ranggis, go all the way so I can't see you anymore. Raden Simbar said, I do not deserve you. Never will be deserving”. Said Ivory crying as he pleased.
Hearing that Dewi Ranggis bowed. He felt pity as soon as he realized that Gading was very depressed by the words of Raden Simbar earlier. He stared at Ivory's face and without hesitation clutched his body. The more Ivory tried to dispel his body, the tighter the embrace of Goddess Ranggis hugged his body.
“I may leave you, but rest assured you will never see me again. I would rather die than be separated from my beloved. Look at me Ivory and see the light of my eyes. Never mind the mouths of a world that never understands the meaning of love. Those who are still fixated on juxtaposing love with the word appropriate and inappropriate. God never willed like that, did he? Hearing that Ivory felt calm and smiled slightly towards Dewi Ranggis.
The two pairs of eyes clashed again as if penetrating the depths of each heart. Back drifting in each other's arms. When they heard cries and scolding from above the river, they were still reluctant to let go of each other's arms. They did not realize up there, precisely at the floodgates Raden Simbar stood with his face fiercely staring at them. After that the insults and the swearing of the serpent accompanied Raden Simbar's hand to open the floodgates. It opened and the water slid downwards. Shifting away everything he finds. Including Ivory and Dewi Ranggis mute swallowed ferociously water.
