Contoh Narrative Text
I Would Do It for Love
Once upon a time in a
far away land, lived two families called the Darlan family and the
Meissner family. The Darlan family had a daughter named Naya, while the
Meissner family had a son named Arman. Naya and Arman had been friends
since childhood and had lived in the country side for sixteen years of
their life.
Unfortunately, one day,
the Darlan family was called upon by the king as the family's men were
very fine blacksmiths. The Darlan family had to move to the town because
of the Kings demand. So Naya and Arman for the first time said goodbye
to each other. Secretly, Arman vowed to work hard so that he could also
work in town and finally meet Naya again.
Two years later, Arman
had mastered some skills he thought he could put in good use in the
town. Fulfilling his promise, he traveled to town and started to search
for Naya. It was not a hard task, Naya's father had been granted the
title of Duke by the King! Hurriedly, he visited Naya's own castle, but
to his dismay, Naya did not want to meet him. "Maybe she is busy," he
said to himself.
His determination to
meet Naya did not waver, Arman found work as a builder in town. Each
day, after work he would visit Naya's castle, but each day Naya refused
to meet him. A few weeks passed by, Arman became sick, sick because he
could not meet the childhood friend he so dearly loved. He had abandoned
his work, making his friends he made at the working place concerned.
"Go and meet him once again Arman! Maybe this time you will be in luck!" said one.
"No. Maybe I was putting too much hope for her to love me. After all, we were just childhood friends."
His friends decided to
visit Naya's castle themselves, to tell her that Arman his childhood
friend, who fell in love with her is in an ill state. To their surprise,
Naya agreed to meet them and heared that Arman was sick.
"Tell him to go to the forest and find a wooden house," said Naya.
"And after that? What should he do my Lady?" asked one of Arman's friend.
"He will find the answer once he finds the house," answered Naya mysteriously.
The friends came back
to Arman and told him about the happy news. Arman suddenly stood up from
his bed and felt refreshed as though nothing has happened before.
The next day Arman
journeyed to the forest and found the wooden house Naya had mentioned.
An old lady, with hideous boils on her face, crooked body, and white
tangled hair that was very filthy greeted Arman.
"Excuse me, is Lady Naya here? She told me to come here," asked Arman.
"No, Lady Naya is not here. But she left a message I must tell you," said the old lady with a croaky voice.
"What is it?"
"She said, if you really love her, you must prove it. And to prove it, you must marry me!"
Because of his love, the love he had felt since childhood for Naya, Arman did not hesitate to answer.
"If that is what she wants, I would do it. I would do it for love!"
Suddenly, the old lady
wailed and ran towards a small lake in front of the house. She bathed
her face with water and to Arman's surprise, it was Nayna staring back
at him. She had cleaned the make up she was wearing and pulled of the
wig she also wore to disguise herself as an old lady.
"Arman, I was only
testing you. And now I know what I must do. I will share the rest of my
life with you. Because, because I would do it for love!"
Arman was very happy that Naya had the same feelings for him. And so, they lived happily ever after.
