Then, he departed for the hills. He brought the rock in his hand. Then all of a sudden, far away, he heard the sound of girls laughing at him.

His attention was distracted, Bujang Beji accidentally stepped on a thorn, reflexively he dropped the stone that he was holding. Bujang Beji was caught in anger. Bujang Beji found that it was the khayangan goddesses who laughed at him.

“You will pay for this!” he shouted as he stamped his foot pierced by a poisonous thorn on one of the nearby hills. Bujang Beji’s failed to close the Melawi River. All because of the
goddesses of heaven.

“I will take revenge.” Said Bujang Beji. Bujang Beji planned to reach the land of heaven by using the kumpang mambu tree, which is a kind of giant wooden tree whose
end rises to the sky.

He started planting the scented tree. In just a few days the tree had grown so high that the top was invisible to the naked eye. Right before climbing the Kumpang Bambu, he did a superstition
ritual in order to get protection from the holy spirits of the land and animal spirits.

However, there were two animals that Bujang Beji forgot to offer, they were a group of termites and bears. It made them angry. They also negotiated to thwart Bujang Beji. “Let’s just gnaw the
bamboo tree until it’s broken!” proposed the bear.

The Termite agreed. Then they started to do it. At that time, Bujang Beji had almost reached the land of heaven, he fell into the ground and died instantly.

Thus, Bujang Beji’s attempt to harm the goddesses of heaven also failed. Tumenggung Marubai was spared from Bujang Beji’s evil intentions.

Nowadays, the peak of Nanga Silat Hill is well known as Bukit Kelam. It has become one of the tourist attractions in Sintang, West Kalimantan, and has become a tourist forest area with very beautiful
scenery.
