In a village in Ponorogo, there lived a kind girl named Cinderella. She lived with her stepmother and two jealous and cruel stepsisters. Every day, Cinderella was tasked with sweeping the yard, feeding the chickens, and washing clothes, while her stepsisters just sat around relaxing. One day, good news arrived: the Grebeg Suro event would be held in Ponorogo Square. Everyone was excited, including Cinderella. She desperately wanted to watch the lively procession of heirlooms and the Reog Ponorogo dance. However, her stepmother forbade her. "Don't join in, stay home! Let us go!" said the stepmother.
Cinderella could only lower her head sadly. She really
wanted to see Grebeg Suro, just once in her life. As she wept on the porch, an
old shaman known for his wisdom appeared. The shaman took pity on Cinderella.
"What do you want, my child?" the shaman asked, "I really want
to go to Grebeg Suro, but I don't have a vehicle, and my stepmother won't let
me," replied Cinderella.
The shaman then recited prayers and mantras. Miraculously! A
moped emerged from the pile of firewood. "Go with this," said the
shaman. However, before handing over the motorbike, the shaman gave him some
advice: "Listen, my child. This motorbike is no ordinary motorbike; it
will only last you until midnight. Return home before twelve o'clock, or it
will return to the pile of wood." Cinderella nodded obediently.
However, when she tried to start the motorbike, she found it
had no gas. She chuckled and said, "Wow, how am I going to get to the town
square if the motorbike is out of gas?" Finally, Cinderella walked to a
nearby shop to buy some gas. After filling the tank, she returned to the shama.
Cinderella asked the shaman to give her a ride to the town
square. On their simple motorbike, they set off together. When they arrived at
Grebeg Suro, the atmosphere was bustling. There was a reog parade, gamelan
music, and traditional dances. Cinderella was overjoyed. However, when the
event was over, she faced a new problem: she had forgotten where she had parked
her motorbike. He paced back and forth looking among the rows of other
residents' motorbikes.
In the midst of her confusion, a handsome young man appeared
and helped her. It turned out to be the son of the village chief, Siman.
"Are you looking for your motorbike? Come, let me help you," he said
with a smile. However, as the clock struck midnight, Cinderella panicked and
ran, In her haste, she dropped her glass helmet.The prince picked it up,
determined to find its owner.
The prince fell silent, his face uncertain. "Are you
really the girl I met at Grebeg Suro? Or was it all just an illusion?" he
asked, disappointed. Cinderella cried. She wanted to explain, but no one
believed her. The prince left, disappointed. From that day on, Cinderella
returned to a life of misery. She continued to be mistreated by her stepfamily,
while the prince eventually married the noblewoman chosen by his family.
Cinderella could only remember that beautiful night at Grebeg Suro, a brief
moment when she almost achieved happiness-but ultimately lost everything.
The end.
