Sejarah Goa Putri Pukes di Takengon-Aceh || History Cave Princess Pukes in Takengon-Aceh

Pada kesempatan ini saya akan mencoba sedikit menjelaskan pengalaman saya berkunjung ke sebuah Goa di daerah Takengon yang saat ini sangat ramai dikunjungi oleh para wisatawan khususnya pada hari libur dan menurut cerita Goa tersebut saat ini bisa dikatakan sudah menjadi sebuah Legenda dan dikenal luas oleh masyarakat Aceh, nama Goa tersebut yaitu Goa Puteri Pukes.

On this occasion I will try to explain some of my experience of visiting a Goa in Takengon area which is currently very crowded visited by tourists especially on holidays and according to the story of Goa is nowadays can be said to have become a legend and widely known by the people of Aceh, Goa's name is Goa Puteri Pukes.

Saat itu kami mendengar cerita dari para pemandu Goa tersebut, beliau menceritakan bahwa pada saat itu hiduplah seorang putri yang bernama Pukes. Putri Pukes kemudian dipinang oleh seorang pangeran dari seberang danau laut tawar dan sesuai dengan adat, jika seorang perempuan sudah dipinang dan sah menjadi istri maka ia harus ikut dan tinggal dalam lingkungan keluarga besar suaminya.

At that time we heard stories from the guides of Goa, he told that at that time there lived a princess named Pukes. Princess Pukes is then proposed by a prince from across the sea of ​​freshwater and according to custom, if a woman is already married and legally becomes a wife then she must come and live in the family environment of her husband.

Setelah di pinang, Putri Pukes harus meninggalkan kedua orang tuanya dan kampung halamannya menuju ke kampung halaman suaminya. Sebelum sang putri berangkat, terlebih dahulu ia diberi sebuah pesan oleh orang tuanya dan pesan itu harus selalu diingat serta dipatuhi. Adapun pesan tersebut yaitu agar sang anak tidak boleh melihat kebelakang melihat orang tua, saudara dan kampung halamannya, ia harus yakin untuk ikut bersama keluarga sang suami. Meski dengan perasaan sangat sedih, sang putri pun harus tetap mematuhinya.

After the areca nut, Princess Pukes had to leave both her parents and her hometown to her husband's hometown. Before the princess leaves, she is first given a message by her parents and the message should always be remembered and obeyed. The message is that the child should not look back to see his parents, relatives and hometown, he must be sure to go with his husband's family. Although with a very sad feeling, the princess must still obey.

Saat perjalanan melintasi danau menuju negeri sang suami, tiba-tiba sang putri merasakan sangat rindu kepada orang tuanya dan tanpa di sengaja ia pun melihat kebelakang dan pesan orang tua pun terjadi.
Dalam sekejap cuaca yang cerah berubah menjadi gelap dan petir pun berbunyi dengan keras tanpa henti, badai pun datang dan tiba-tiba sang putri berubah wujud menjadi batu.

When the trip across the lake to the country of the husband, suddenly the princess feel very longing for her parents and without inadvertently he also saw back and the message of the parents happened.
In an instant the sunny weather turns dark and the lightning goes loud nonstop, the storm comes and suddenly the princess transforms into stone.

Kini di dalam Goa Puteri Pukes yang berada di pinggir jalan dan lokasinya berada di depan danau, terdapat patung seorang Puteri bahkan menurut cerita kadang-kadang patung tersebut mengeluarkan air mata penyesalan akibat tidak mendengar amanah dari orang tuanya.

ack and the message of the happened happened.
In an instant the sunny weather turns dark and the lightning goes loud nonstop, the storm comes and suddenly the princess transforms into stone.
Now in Puteri Pukes Cave is located on the roadside and its location is in front of the lake, there is a statue of a princess even according to the story sometimes the statue is tears of regret for not hearing the mandate of his parents.

Itulah sepenggal kisah tentang Putri Pukes yang selalu mengingatkan kita agar selalu mematuhi dan menghormati orang tua, semoga kita nantinya menjadi orang yang selalu berbakti terhadap kedua orang tua.

That piece of the story of Princess Pukes that always reminds us to always obey and respect the parents, may we later become a person who is always filial to both parents.
