Upiak and Buyuang were common nicknames for daughters and sons in Minangkabau culture. The nicknames could also be used
to address and call children whose names were still unknown to someone. In the State of Bayang, there was a child named
Buyuang Kacinduan. The name basically means a son who was always be missed. The name was given to him because Buyuang was born after his father and mother longed to have a child for a long time. Buyuang Kacinduan became the apple of his parents’
eyes.Even though his parents always doted on him, Buyuang did not grow up to be a spoiled child. Both of his parents prepared for his future very well. Every day, his parents taught him about many good things that he had to do for example he always had to be grateful to God, he always had to do good deeds to people, he had to love plants and animals, and he had to help his parents diligently.
