Indonesia has long produced many female figures. Apart from Kartini, a name that is no less popular is Gusti Noeroel, one of the Mangkunegaran Temples from KGPAA Mangkoenagoro. This woman who has a beautiful face has the full name Gusti Raden Ayu Siti Noeroel Kamaril Ngasarati Kusumawardhani.
In her time, she was a princess who had a progressive mind. This is in contrast to his life in the temple which is full of service from courtiers. As a princess, her days were always filled with the sounds of klenengan and gamelan. However, Gusti Noeroel did not refuse listening to western songs, riding horses and playing tennis. This also shows that he is a modern person.
Because of his intelligence, Gusti Noeroel is loved by many men. In the book entitled "Gusti Noeroel: Streven Naar Geluk (Pursuing Happiness)" it is stated that he was proposed to several times by national figures. One of them is Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono IX.
At that time, Gusti Noeroel was called by his father to discuss something. It turned out that at that time a messenger from Hamengku Buwono IX had arrived from Yogyakarta who asked how he was doing. Not only that, his aim was of course to ask for Gusti Noeroel as his wife. Then, Gusti Noeroel was surprised by his father's statement.
Initially, she thought that becoming the sultan's consort was not an easy matter. There is a lot of responsibility in that position. However, of course many women dream of this position. However, this actually became a consideration for Gusti Noeroel.
He also remembered the face of the mother he thought had suffered. Every day, his face always showed a sad expression. His mother, who was a princess of the Yogyakarta palace, had been married to a Solo nobleman who had another woman besides himself. Because of this, Gusti Noeroel often received messages not to marry him.
Finally he dared to raise his face and look at his father. Gusti Noeroel expressed her objection to becoming the wife of Hamengku Buwono IX. Thankfully his father understood and fulfilled Gusti Noeroel's request.
Sri Sultan HB IX was also a figure who had a big heart. Even though he was rejected by Gusti Noeroel, he still maintained a good relationship with Gusti Noeroel's family. Once, they met face to face and the Sultan insisted on knowing the reason why he was rejected. Gusti Noeroel then answered that he really couldn't sleep because he was being married to him. Hearing that answer, the Sultan only smiled.
So what is Gusti Noeroel's portrait like that has succeeded in capturing the hearts of national figures? The following is a portrait as reported by brilio.net from various sources, Monday (1/7).
