One day, Dayang Sumbi felt unwell, then the child, Sangkuriang asked, “What do you want to eat? So that you can recover quickly and be healthy again. Dayang Sumbi also said, “I want a deer heart, child!”. Then go Sangkuriang and Tumang into the forest to hunt deer. After a long time of hunting and not finding a game, finally Sangkuriang found a wild boar. Sangkuriang also ordered Tumang to chase and catch the boar, but Tumang did not want to. Because he was upset Sangkuriang frightened Tumang with an arrow, and the arrow accidentally hit Tumang.
For fear of being scolded by her mother, Sangkuriang returned home and pretended to have gotten a deer’s heart, even though it was Tumang’s heart that had been pierced by an arrow. Dayang Sumbi was suspicious because Sangkuriang did not go home with Tumang. Finally Sangkuriang said honestly that the heart he had given was Tumang’s heart. Dayang Sumbi was furious, so mad he hit Sangkuring’s forehead with a rice ladle made from a coconut shell. Sangkuriang felt pain and fear, he left home and never returned home.
Over the years, Sangkuriang has turned into a handsome and handsome young man, Dayang Sumbi is still beautiful and does not grow old. Accidentally Sangkuriang and Dayang Sumbi met again. They don’t know each other and fall in love. One day, while combing Sangkuriang’s hair, Dayang Sumbi saw a sign of a wound on Sangkuriang’s forehead. Finally Dayang Sumbi also knew that Sangkuriang was her child. Sangkuriang proposed to his mother, because the mother did not want to marry Sangkuriang, he also asked Sangkuriang to make a boat as a condition.
After the boat was made, Dayang Sumbi still did not want to marry Sangkuriang, and he told me that Sangkuriang was his child. Because of anger Sangkuriang finally kicked the boat. And now the boat is known as Tangkuban Perahu mountain.
