She was kind and polite to everyone. So, she was highly respected by everyone, except lady in waiting named Dayang.
Dayang wanted to expel Putri Intan from the palace. After thinking hardly, she got a way. she was going to tell the king a lie that Putri Intan had annoyed her and some people. When the first step of her plan was done, she tried to tell a lie about Putri Intan to the king.
“Oo… The Majesty! Your daughter has made shameful deed. I want you to know that she has a special relationship to a commoner outside there,” she said. The king believed it. He driven his daughter from the palace. She cried and left the palace.
“God, show me the truth.” she wished.
Since that time, Putri Intan lived at a forest. She lived from gathering fruits and hunting for animals.
One afternoon when she was hunting, she heard a thundering laugh. “Hi hi hi hi hi” she was very surprised. She saw an old woman had stood behind her.
 “Oo beautiful girl, who are you?” asked the old woman.
“I am Putri Intan. My father threw me out of palace,” she said.
“Oow! That`s good! I found appropriate object to experiment with my magical power,” the old woman said.
“Abra ka dabra” suddenly, Putri Intan turned into a bird, which was called Tingang.
“You can only escape away from my witchcraft only after a boy comes to you, and bring you back to the palace.” she said.
Tigang flew around the forest. She sang beautiful song in everywhere.
One day, Tingang trapped on the tree. She tried to be free, but she couldn’t. Meanwhile, there was a young man named Dohong got closer to the tree. Tingang sang as beautiful as possible, it was just to get Dohong`s attention.
“What an awesome Tingang! I`ve never seen before” uttered Dohong.

Next day, Dohong went to the forest as another day. Unfortunately, he didn’t get anything. He went back home for lunch.

“Well, I`m going to take you to the palace” Dohong promised.
