Island Brother

Island brothers


Because they are old enough, Mina and Lina's mother called them to discuss wedding plans sisters.
"You're old enough. It's time you build the home, "said the mother.
"We want to be mated with one condition," said Mina, and Lina.
"What condition?"
"Because of our brothers, our husbands also have brother and sister."
The mother knows, it is their way of refusing marriage. According to Mina, and Lina, marriage makes people lose everything they love: parents, friends, relatives, even my hometown.
Thus, because there is no male siblings who edited Mina and Lina, they never married. Time continues to pass. Mina and Lina's mother died of an increasingly older age. After the death of her mother, her two brothers live with their uncle.
One day, a group of pirates kidnap Lina. Pirate leader wanted to marry Lina. Lina refused and struggled mightily.
The kidnapping was known by Mina. Not wanting to separate from her sister, Mina was determined after Lina. With a smaller boat, the boat chase kidnappers Mina Lina. Not ignored the cries of the whole village. Mina continued to pursue until his body was never seen again.
Suddenly the clouds come. Soon the rain came down. Thunder, lightning darting. People rushed to their homes. Rolling waves. Swallowing boat kidnappers Lina, Lina swallow, swallow Mina, swallow it all.
When the situation returned to normal, people are surprised by the two islands that suddenly appeared in the distance. They believe, the island is the incarnation of Mina and Lina. Both islands were named Sekijang Island Flag and Sekijang stem, but most people call the island the brothers.
