“Apo you want, Bandung Bondowoso?” asked Roro Jonggrang with a ketus.

“I want to marry you. Marry me, surely your life will be peaceful and peaceful,” said Bandung Bondowoso.

Of course, Roro Jonggrang was shocked. He did not expect Bandung Bondowoso would propose to him. In fact, Roro Jonggrang does not like Bandung Bondowoso. Bandung Bondowoso was a ruthless man. He had killed his father, and made the people of the Kingdom of Prambanan miserable. Strictly, Roro Jonggrang rejected Bandung Bondowoso's proposal.

Hearing the rejection, Bandung Bondowoso did not accept. He also threatened Roro Jonggrang.

“If you don't want to marry me, your life will be miserable. All villagers will suffer,” threatened Bandung Bondowoso.

Instantly, Roro Jonggrang became doubtful.

“I let you think first,” said Bandung Bondowoso.

Roro Jonggrang was confused by Bandung Bondowoso's proposal.

Last night Roro Jonggrang thought, how to refuse the proposal Bandung Bondowoso, but the people remain safe. Finally, Roro Jonggrang had an idea.

The next day, Bandung Bondowoso met Roro Jonggrang.

“Have you made up your mind, Roro Jonggrang?” tanya Bandung Bondowoso's.

“Well, Bandung Bondowoso. I want to marry you, as long as you can qualify from me.” said Roro Jonggrang.

“What are your terms?” tanya Bandung Bondowoso.

“Create 1000 temples and 2 wells within one night,” said Roro Jonggrang.

He believes, Bandung Bondowoso can not qualify it.

Without thinking for a long time, Bandung Bondowoso immediately agreed to the terms of Roro Jonggrang.

In the evening, Bandung Bondowoso assisted by his genie troops, built 1000 temples and 2 wells. Roro Jonggrang who had secretly witnessed that, became restless. Estimates wrong. Bandung Bondowoso troops very quickly completed the construction.

Time has passed three quarters of the night. There are two temples that have not been built.

“How do I thwart their efforts?” thought Roro Jonggrang.

Ahah! Roro Jonggrang had an idea. He called all the ladies in the palace, and told them to burn the hay to the east.

Others sound dimples, and spread fragrant flowers. The goal is that the chickens get up and crow.

Without wasting any time, the maids immediately carried out that order. Sure enough, the roosters woke up and started crowing. Finding the sky in the east red, the sound of dimples, the fragrance of flowers, and chicken cocktails, Bandung Bondowoso soldiers rushed away.

Yep! They thought it was morning.

Having his army leave, Bandung Bondowoso stopped them.

“Back my army. It's not morning yet! There is still one more temple that you must build!” yell Bandung Bondowoso.

Unfortunately, the Bandung Bondowoso soldiers still left their jobs.

The more angry Bandung Bondowoso when he found out that it was all Roro Jonggrang. He met Roro Jonggrang, and turned Roro Jonggrang into a temple.

Now, the temple is named Roro Jonggrang Temple, and can be found in Prambanan Temple.
