It is one of few Indonesian novels from the period in which the protagonists succeed in love. ==Plot== Nurdin, a young Minangkabau doctor, has just finished ten years of medical school in Batavia (now Jakarta). On the trip back home to Padang, he meets Rukmini, a young Sundanese school teacher, and her mother. Although they are only together while on the boat between islands, the meeting makes Nurdin more extroverted. After spending several days in Padang, he returns to Batavia. Several years later, he is transferred to Bukittinggi. On the way there, he spends several days at his uncle's house in Padang; the uncle wishes Nurdin to marry his daughter, which Nurdin rejects soundly. While at a meeting for the founding of a new school, Nurdin sees Rukmini get hired. The following week, at the train station, he meets Rukmini and the two become closer. They become closer still when Nurdin treats Rukmini's mother, and Nurdin decides to propose. However, Nurdin's mother disagrees with their relationship and secretly tells Rukmini that Nurdin is set to marry his cousin. This untruth causes Rukmini to become heartbroken.
