Legenda
Telaga Tiga Warna
Dahulu kala sebuah kerajaan berdiri di Jawa
Barat. Kerajaan itu diperintah oleh seorang prabu yang arif bijaksana.
Rakyatnya hidup sejahtera.
Sayang
sekali Prabu dan permaisurinya tidak dikaruniai keturunan. Bertahun-tahun mereka
menunggu kehadiran seorang anak, hingga sang Prabu memutuskan untuk pergi ke
hutan dan berdoa. Ia memohon kepada Yang Maha Kuasa untuk memberinya
keturunan.
Seluruh
kerajaan ikut bergembira ketika akhirnya doa Prabu dan Permaisuri dikabulkan.
Permaisuri mengandung dan melahirkan seorang bayi perempuan yang cantik.
Puteri
tumbuh menjadi seorang gadis yang cantik. Karena ia puteri satu-satunya dan
kelahirannya dulu begitu lama dinantikan, ia sangat dimanja. Semua
keinginannya dituruti.
Sekarang sang puteri sudah dewasa. Sebentar
lagi ia akan berusia tujuh belas tahun. Rakyat kerajaan mengumpulkan banyak
sekali hadiah untuk puteri tercinta mereka. Sang Prabu mengumpulkan semua
hadiah dari rakyat dan berniat akan membagi-bagikannya kembali kepada mereka.
Ia hanya menyisihkan sedikit perhiasan emas dan
permata. Ia kemudian meminta tukang perhiasan untuk melebur emas itu dan
membuatnya menjadi sebuah kalung permata yang indah untuk puterinya.
Pada hari ulang tahun sang puteri, Prabu
menyerahkan kalung itu.
“Puteriku, sekarang kau sudah dewasa. Lihatlah
kalung yang indah ini. Kalung ini hadiah dari rakyat kita. Mereka sangat
menyayangimu. “
“Pakailah kalung ini, nak.”
Rakyat kerajaan sengaja datang berduyun-duyun
untuk melihat sang puteri pada hari ulang tahunnya. Mereka ingin melihat
kalung yang sangat elok bertaburan batu permata berwarna-warni itu menghias
leher puteri kesayangan mereka.
Puteri hanya melirik kalung itu sekilas.
Prabu dan Permaisuri membujuknya agar mau
mengenakan kalung itu.
“Aku tidak mau,’ jawab puteri singkat.
“Ayolah, nak,” kata permaisauri, ia mengambil
kalung itu hendak memakaikannya di leher puterinya.”
Namun puteri menepis tangan permaisuri hingga
kalung itu terbanting ke lantai.
“Aku tak mau memakainya! Kalung itu jelek! Jelek!”
jeritnya sambil lari ke kamarnya.
Permaisuri dan semua yang hadir terpana. Kalung
warna-warni yang indah itu putus dan permatanya berserakan di lantai.
Permaisuri terduduk dan mulai menangis. Lambat
laun semua wanita ikut menangis, bahkan para pria pun ikut menitikkan air
mata. Mereka tak pernah mengira sang puteri dapat berbuat seperti itu.
Tiba-tiba di tempat kalung itu jatuh muncul
sebuah mata air yang makin lama makin besar hingga istana tenggelam. Tak
hanya itu, seluruh kerajaan tergenang oleh air, membentuk sebuah danau yang
luas.
Danau itu sekarang tidak seluas dulu. Airnya
nampak indah berwarna-warni karena pantulan warna langit dan pohon-pohonan di
sekelilingnya. Namun orang percaya bahwa warna-warna indah danau itu berasal
dari kalung sang puteri yang ada di dasarnya.Danau itu disebut Telaga Warna,
letaknya di daerah Puncak, Jawa Barat.
