Bujang Kuratauan set a strategy. He asked his family to leave the house at night. They were also asked to bring torches.
Bujang Alai's family arrived at Buiang Kuratauan's house at night. They saw some people brought some torches. They thought Bujang Kuratauan was there too. So they followed them.
When Bujang Kuratauan's family arrived at a waterfall, they put the torches near the waterfall. After that they all left.
Bujang Alals family thought Bujang Kuratauan and his family were hiding there. They immediately ran toward the waterfall. They did not know that the place was wet and slippery. They all fell down and bled. Their blood covered a big stone. The color of the stone changed. It was like the color of a ripe mangosteen.
Since then people named the stone as Batu Manggu (Manggis) Masak which means stone of ripe mangosteen. ***
