Kisah Sawerigading - Cerita Rakyat Sulawesi Selatan
Sawerigading, a determined prince from Luwu, faces a dilemma when he falls in love with his twin sister, challenging the customs of his land. To find justice and a rightful path, he embarks on a journey filled with obstacles, discovery, and self-realization.
In the kingdom of Luwu, Prince Sawerigading learned of a prophecy that he would fall in love with his twin sister, We Tenriabeng. This presented a grave problem, as their customs forbade such unions, threatening to bring disaster upon their land. Sawerigading struggled with the knowledge and the intense feelings he had developed. He knew he must find a way to honor his traditions while following his heart.
Determined to see his sister, Sawerigading secretly climbed to the hidden tower where We Tenriabeng was kept. However, the guards were many, and the tower was heavily fortified. He faced his first obstacle: how to reach her without being caught? The fear of punishment loomed large, but his heart urged him onward.
Despite his best efforts, Sawerigading was caught by the guards and brought before his father, King Batara Lattu'. The king forbade him to pursue his sister, as it would bring calamity. Desperate, Sawerigading pleaded for understanding. His father insisted he journey to the distant land of Tanete to find a suitable bride instead.
Sawerigading's heart was heavy as he prepared for his journey. He felt like giving up, overwhelmed by the obstacles and the king's decree. We Tenriabeng approached him quietly, offering comfort. - Brother, maybe this journey will bring clarity, she suggested. Sawerigading sighed, unsure if he should continue following his father's orders.
On the way to Tanete, Sawerigading encountered a wise sage who told him of a magical wood that could build a ship strong enough to withstand any storm. - This is your path forward, said the sage. Sawerigading realized this was a sign. With newfound hope, he set out to find the wood, determined to complete his journey.
After overcoming numerous challenges, Sawerigading finally reached the land of Tanete. There, he met We Cudai, his cousin, whose resemblance to his sister was uncanny. He realized this was his true path. The marriage was celebrated, and Sawerigading found peace, knowing he had honored his customs and found justice.
