Papu daughter was miserable, sad and grieving. Only daughter of the king in the kingdom of the black-faced Bajau sweet it is upset and does not want to eat. Waiters and ladies in waiting confusion, not knowing what to do.
How his heart is not sad? The king, his father, was furious to learn to do with Rhino. Though they've been faithful engaged, lively semati.
"Poor fisherman like you do not deserve to accompany my daughter! I've set her up with wealthy merchants from across the country! "
The words of his father that makes the heart sad and melancholy Princess Papu, sliced like a knife.
Escorted the leaders and soldiers, with hips Bajau King cursing and pointing Rhino kneeling in front of him. Papu daughter heard it all from behind the door.
Papu daughter know Rhino at the fishing village.
As the daughter of the king, he did not like the strict palace rules. In my spare time, when saturated weaving, designing clothes or arranging the furniture, accompanied by a servant, he often left the palace and mingle with the commoners. Because of its nature, the people of the Kingdom of Bajau love.
One day, in the sleepy fishing village, he meets Rhino. The young man repairing canoes on the beach. The sun highlights his broad chest and his handsome face.
Since the middle of the busy working to patch a leaking stern sampan, he was not aware of the presence of other people around.
"Why sampanmu leak? What struck a reef? "Said Princess Papu. It was a common question proposes to determine the problems faced by citizens.
"Not. Boat was hit by a royal warrior, because I do not want to pay taxes fish whose numbers are outrageous! "Rhino replied without looking.
"Why are not reported directly to the king? Maybe it's just the act of greedy soldiers. To my knowledge, the King has never issued regulations that burden the people. "
Hear the answer aloud, Rhino turned.
He stared at the women in front of her eyes. The woman looked back at her. They stared at each other for so long. "You are?" Said Rhino with voice caught in his throat, mesmerized by the beauty of the woman.
"You do not know? It liege, Princess Papu. Daughter of the King! "Replied the waiter. He wondered why the young man did not show respect. If you know're dealing with a royal princess, usually people will kneel.
Papu Princess heart palpitations when eyes met with Rhino. He blushed. Wrong behavior. He likes the attitude of the youth who treat it like a regular girl that. He was bored with the noble youths who honor excessive and pretentious.
Since then, accompanied by her maid, daughter Sapana Papu often meet in his village. Sometimes they met on the coast, between the reef and rocks. They are playing, looking for crabs, shells and seashell, so jewelry crafted toys. Swimming and diving together. Making love. Swear allegiance.

"Right now, you have to leave the country! Prohibited stay here! Before sunrise tomorrow morning, you've got to go! If tomorrow was here, you will be executed! "
Hearing her father's edict, Princess Papu crying and ran into the arms of his mother. In the room, clinging tightly to the body's consort was his biological daughter. But, he could not do anything about it. No one can do.
King's consort Bajau powerless against the will of her husband. He himself is not a native of the kingdom. She is the princess of the kingdom across the sea. Previously, he was married through arranged marriages.
However, he was not worried. He thinks, that his beloved daughter will also undergo the same fate with him, married through an arranged marriage.
"Come on, son. It was already dusk. Take a bath first, then eat. After that, take a break ... "Empress bolster the limp body of her daughter, led her into the bedroom.
Middle of the night, suddenly awakened from his sleep by the empress roar that reverberated and shook the palace. The storm is raging! Rumbling wind, storms and hurricanes shook the floor, walls and roof of the palace. A voice frenzy, the guards shouts, screams of panic, crying women and children.

He was already outside, gather retainer, commanders and soldiers. Gave the order to cope with all possibilities that happen.
Rain, storms and typhoons raging with terrible. Crashing the castle on the coast and settlements. Nature seems to be angry. Turbulent seas.
For the mountain waves came, rolling, sweeping beaches, washed boats, canoes and fishing nets. The houses of fishermen on the shore dilulur waves and waves sucked into the middle of the ocean. Tongue as if a giant dragon that swallows its prey.
Papu Princess consort remembered.
Rushing, opened the doors of the rooms. However, no Papu Daughter! In fact, mattresses, pillows and blankets are still intact, as if she never touched.
"My son, Papu! Papuuu ...! "Empress screaming. Panic. Crying. Hie, examination of the entire room palace. From one room, to other rooms. Two soldiers guard to follow wherever he goes. They do not want to be blamed if something happens to the empress.
The next day, when the sun rises, the population of the kingdom in an uproar. Papu lost daughter! To the leaders and commanders, Bajau King ordered that all soldiers conduct a search on a large scale. For those who find, will be given in return.
The room palace were destroyed demolished, who knows Princess Papu killed by debris. Coastal beaches and coral reefs are also examined, in case his body was washed away there. However, all to no avail. There is no clear guidance. Papu daughter vanished without a trace.
Because it's too sad to think of Princess Papu, empress fell ill. The entire royal physician could not cure. Three days after his illness, he died. Before passing away, he continued delirious, wistful and melancholy, "Alla tulu ... My son, Papu ... Papuuu ...."
After seven days and nights of fruitless searching, the King in Bajau people gather around the ruins of the palace courtyard. Building castles made of wood was already in ruins. With puffy eyes, tired and sad, he utter:
"At sunrise the next morning, all the people of the Kingdom of the Bajau have to go to sea. Papu Daughter Look! There should be no return to the mainland before the meeting! Bring the wife, children and grandchildren. Went by boat! Bring perabotanmu! Do not come back without my permission! "
Hearing the decree, the population simultaneously prepare the canoe, boat, and collect each family member. One boat contains a number of families, consisting of parents, several pairs of spouses, babies and children.
Because the king's command Bajau can not be considered arbitrary, departure each family prepared carefully. Daily necessities taken along. The materials were brought enough food and clothing, including cooking equipment.
Not knowing how long the search will end, alahai music equipment were also taken. To entertain themselves at sea in times of silence, who knew they would never live on land again. They should run the decree. Must find Princess Papu. They do not want to bear a lifetime of shame.
With chaired by the king, the next day a fleet of boats and canoes that sailed Bajau people of the kingdom. In the middle of the ocean, canoes and boats scattered all over.
When night fell, they rest on the coast nearby island, but do not sleep on the ground. Eat-sleep is still being done on the boat and the boat. During the day, they exchange the fish with salt and needs of everyday life, with people living on the land.
Time passed, and they continued to sail to the Princess Papu. At sea, at a certain moment, in a tone of melancholy, sometimes they cry, "Papuuu ... Papuuu ... Papuuu ...!"
During the voyage, their offspring. Each time a woman giving birth, her parents convey the message of King Bajau: Bajau people should not stay on the ground before finding Princess Papu.
Until whenever, they still have to look for it. Who knows Princess Papu washed away in rough seas. Maybe he is waiting to be discovered. No one ever thought up the search when it will end. They already consider it destiny.
Bajau people and their descendants have made canoes, boats and oceans as part of life. Seas and oceans as his home. Most of them are now in the coastal village of Rampa (District of North Sea Island), Rampa Manunggal (District of Sampanahan), Rampa Cengal (District of South Pamukan), Rampa village, Bali River (District of Sebuku Island), Rampa Banyu Chain (District of East Sea Island ) and in Muara Pasir (Grogot Land District, East Kalimantan).
