Datu Musing and Mipa Deapati

 This heartwarming love story between Datu Museng and Maipa Deapati departs from a folk tale that is very popular among the people of Makassar, which is told by parents to their children and grandchildren, so that they can learn lessons from education, struggle and loyalty. So great is the story between Datu Museng, the son of the royal aristocrat of Gowa and Maipa Deapati, the noble daughter of the Kingdom of Sumbawa, which is embedded in the minds of the Makassar people, so that the names of these two legendary figures are immortalized as street names in Makassar City. The street names seem to have been deliberately made side by side with each other as if the Makassar City Government has also blessed their eternal love relationship. Jalan Maipa is on the right side of Hotel Imperial Aryaduta Makassar. At the western end of Jalan Datu Museng, there is a grave site with two wooden headstones that are firmly side by side, which is said to be the burial place of the two couples of love, Datu Museng and his lover Maipa Deapati.

The love story of Datu Museng and Maipa Deapati began when Addengareng, the grandfather of Datu Museng, fled with his grandchildren across the vast ocean to the land of Sumbawa, as a result of the politics of fighting against the dutch invaders in the land of Gowa, which made the earth of Gowa turbulent and no longer conducive. to be used as a safe place to live.

It was on Sumbawa Island that finally Datu Museng grew into an adult and met Maipa Deapati at a recitation house called Bale Mampewa. Finally, the seeds of love grew in Datu Museng's heart from the first time he saw Maipa Deapati's graceful and charming figure. But the love of Datu Museng for Maipa Deapati became a forbidden love because Maipa Deapati had been betrothed to a prince from Selaparang Lombok named Pangeran Mangalasa.

After Datu Museng's grandfather found out that his grandson loved Maipa Deapati, how shocked his grandfather was. The grandfather was embarrassed. He considers his grandson to be just a lump of gold that has been soiled by mud, while Maipa Deapati is the daughter of a noble like a pearl that has not been touched and is not worthy of being edited by Datu Museng.

Datu Museng knew that his love for Maipa Deapati was blocked by a solid wall, so at the suggestion of his grandfather, Datu Museng went to the Holy Land of Mecca to learn. It was there that he got the knowledge of `` Bunga Ejana Madina ''. It turns out that Datu Museng's departure to the land of Mecca did not make the two people who loved each other separate, but the separation made the bond between the two of them even stronger.

After gaining knowledge in overseas lands, Datu Museng returned to Sumbawa with a burning longing for Maipa Deapati. When he arrived in Sumbawa, it turned out that his longed lover was sick, and Datu Museng treated Maipa Deapati with the knowledge he got from the land of Mecca. Hearing the news that Maipa Deapati's fiancé loved Datu Museng, made Prince Mangalasa jealous and of course hurt. Prince Mangalasa then allied himself with the Dutch with the aim of killing Datu Museng. But the very powerful Datu Museng could not be defeated by Prince Mangalasa and the Dutch.

Finally Datu Museng received the blessing of the Sultan of Sumbawa, they were then married off and Datu Museng was given the rank of Commander of the war. Not long ago married, news spread that in Makassar there was turmoil caused by the Dutch government in power in the land of Makassar. Datu Museng, who had become the warlord, was then sent to Makassar by the Sultan of Sumbawa at the request of the King of Goa to resolve the problem.

So Datu Museng and his wife Maipa Deapati went to Makassar land. Arriving in Makassar, Datu Museng faced another challenge because the Captain from the Netherlands actually loved Maipa Deapati, and launched various kinds of terror and attacks on Datu Museng to seize Maipa Deapati from Datu Museng. As a result, Datu Museng was under pressure due to the Dutch attack. But for Maipa Deapati, his love for Datu Museng was a fixed price for him, he didn't allow anyone to take it from Datu Museng. Maipa Deapati's lover then asked Datu Museng to kill him, because his love for Datu Museng was only for Datu Museng alone, he felt it would be better if he died than having to surrender himself to the Dutch.

With a very heavy heart, Datu Museng then granted his wife's request, he then stabbed his legacy Badik into the neck of his beloved lover. After that, because of his deep love for his wife Maipa Deapati, Datu Musengpun then gave up all his knowledge, allowing himself to be killed by the Dutch colonialists.
