Kisah yang Dikandung Hujan

Hujan selalu menyimpan kisah dan aku senang mendengar celotehannya, berisik dan riang. Hujan dan pantai adalah kolaborasi yg sempurna, sempurna mensintesis kerinduan pada bau tanah kelahiranku. Tiap kali hujan menyergap, kami akan bertebaran menangkap hujan dann menari di bawahnya, menyerbu pantai dan berpesta dengan pasir. Kemudian kami berempat duduk beralaskan pasir basah, menghadap laut, dan menikmati teater alam-sebuah pertemuan hujan dan laut-. Kami bermimpi menyeberang laut, menemukan sebuah benua layaknya Christophorus Colombus yg menemukan Amerika. Dan hujan kali ini, barangkali mereka telah menemukan benua mimpi masing-masing. Aku?? pun telah berlayar menuju benua mimpiku sendiri.

Lets Took The Cloud

Ohayou minna san,,,Today was the first day of 2013, Tuesday. Jumprit Wellspring was next our destination. Jumprit wellspring was located in Ngadirejo sub-district, 26 km from Temanggung, Central Java. After breakfast together, We went to Jumprit at 10.00 o'clock. All of importance equipment had been brought by us, like raincoat, wallet, camera, and foods (include drinks). Oke...lets took the cloud, climb the mountain (soknya "climb",padahal mendakinya naik motor hahaha).
  Sugoi...you could see the wonderful scenery all the way. Mountain in right and left side of road. Rice field, plantation, and valley was around us. Everything that we found all the way, was so beautiful. Fresh air and warmth of the sun combined perfectly with that scenery. Indonesia,,,it was my beloved country,,,an amazing country I ever seen (yaelah,kayak udah pernah keliling dunia,padahal taunya cuma Indonesia,ngenes T.T).
  Finally, we arrived in Jumprit approximately at 11.00 am. You could see all layers of the earth from here (lebay), this was like you saw the earth from satellite imagery. We paid Rp 5.000,00 for every people to get in. Inside it, You would find some wellsprings, statues, a temple, and monkeys. Certainly, We never forgetted to take picture in every time and every picture.
  Every morning, buddhist pray in that temple and some people take water from its wellspring or may be just use the water to wash face. Jumprit wellspring was believed that could make ageless. Jumprit was also the place to take holy water for Waisak Celebration that usually held in Borobudur. Every year, Buddhist from other place and other country came to Jumprit to take holy water. This place become so crowded by the full moon in May. And then, we given foods (banana and nuts) to monkeys. As-as yelled so loudly 'cause one of monkey hold her arm, as-as thought that the monkey would injure her hehehe.
  After that, we wanted to take some picture in pine forest and tea garden. Some pictures had been taken in pine forest, but we couldn't take some picture in tea garden 'cause some truck and car were jammed in the middle of road. So, we decided to go back and didn't continue our destination to go there. We thought, it was too dangerous, 'cause its road was so uphill.
  Mist began to fall and clouds become so thick, not long afterwards rain fell. At that time, we were on the way to return to ayu's home. brrr,,,,So cold. Alhamdulillah,  we arrived in Ayu's home at 03.00 pm. Everyone felt so tired, so we took a rest for some minutes before went home (Yogya), and then some hours. Haha everyone awake yet until 05.00 pm. Yeay....finally everyone woke up and prepared to go home. Rain fell very heavy, but we still decided to go home right now.
08.00 pm>>>>>Yogyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,,,,,we arrived  ^^

Before I forget this wonderful moment, I take my time to write it. My note this time tell about my new year celebration with my friends, they're mbob, mbok gendut, amenk, acil, as-as, melicha, ayu, gigih, apan, and andre. Long time ago (lebay ^^), we made a plan to celebrate our new year in Temanggung, especially in ayu's house. Firstly I didn't join in their plan, but after thinking so hard, I decided to join with them hehehe (ababil T.T) .

Based from our plan, We would leave from Yogya at 10.00 o'clock, but finally we left at 11.30 o'clock, You know Indonesian habit, didn't? (jam karet =P ). Firstly, the team who left in that time were mbob, mbok gendut, amenk, acil, as-as, ayu, gigih, and apan, without andre and melicha 'cause they had another promise to meet melicha's lecturer at 16.00 o'clock. My weakness was >> always feel sleepy on the way, oh my God, whereas we left by motorcycle, it was dangerous >.< . Huft,, I knew so well, but I couldn't hold my drowsiness huaaaaaaa (T.T). Lucky, mbok gendut (santi) always disturbed me, like pinch me, hit me, or join me in conversation. Yeay,,,finally we arrived in Ayu's house at 13.30 o'clock. Didn't be surprise facebookers, we had not been tired, our next destination after pray and lunch was swim and play water in Pucatan Water Park.

Pucatan Water Park, we always didn't forget to take a picture in every time and every where hahaha. Woaah,,,I couldn't wait to swim, brrrr the water was so cold (+.+). And then we moved to another pool. The pool had extremely slide. Mbob, acil, and I tried it, although we knew that the slide had been closed in that time hahahah (nakal =P). Suddenly a guard came when we were in the middle of slide, he would prevent us, but he late hahahah. Wow it was interesting game, we (mbob and I) yelled so loudly, every people saw us xixixi. At 17.00 o'clock, we had to go home, ehm that was wrong, the truth was ayu's home. Waittttt.....we had a emergency moment that I forgetted to tell. That emergency moment was hungry, we felt so hungry so we decided to eat "Bakso Uleg Temanggung",,,,hemmmm Delicious, Thanks My God.

Ayu's house>>> after slept, took a bath, and then pray, all of us burned satay and corn in front of boys room. Ayu and her family were so kind people, everything had been prepared by them, I didn't know what I would be told to them as thankfulness *kiss and hug for ayu*. In the middle of our party, Melicha and Andre came, and joined us. We partied until near turn of the year, and then we went to "Alun-alun Temanggung". We waited a new year over there......5..4..3..2..1.. Akimashite omedetou minna san..happy new year 2013.....We could see amazing fireworks from there, fireworks celebration was so long until 20 minutes. That was so amazing and wonderful =D .

Thanks to my Great God for this boon, and thanks to ayu and her family ^^

Our Holiday

Sunday,,,I tried to wake up early morning, and didn't sleep again. May be the others people could spend their holiday to sleep all-day. Oke,,,I didn't complain, my Great God, I was grateful for the useful activity. I had to go to my campus, ‘cause final exam of practice (praktikum MSPa) would be held. I wasn’t participant of final exam (student), but I was one of assistant (ceileh =P). The concept of final exam was different, its concept was called tokser (ketok geser). So, there were one question in the one table, and the total of question was 30 question. One question was given 2 minutes, one of assistant would knock the bucket to show that the time was run out, and then each student had to shift in others table. I thought that they not only felt tired of thinking, but also tired of moving hehehe.

After that, Josep, Seto, Naccan, and I decided to spending holiday in the Kraton Yogya. Firstly,  Seto, Josep, and I picked up Naccan in the her guest house. Didn’t be surprised everybody,,,this was my first time to visit Kraton Yogya,,,hahahaha whereas I had stayed in Yogya for 4,5 years. My orientation life just for study and part time job, so I had not free time to enjoy my life and I had to saved my money. We discovered many knowledge of Yogyakarta history especially about Yogyakarta Kingdom, our lucky, Seto could be a impromptu guide for our tour =P. Actually, we had a plan to visit Taman Sari after round Kraton Yogya, but ‘cause rain fell in that time, so we cancelled it. And then we went to Seto’s home, beside for wait rain to stop, we would rob many food over there haha. Finally, we went home at 15.00 o’clock. Oke,,thanks so much for this holiday, God.

A New Friend

Last night, my friends (Seto and Josep) and I  had a plan to having dinner together in Hoka-Hoka Bento. Seto had told me that he'll invite his friend from Japan. Wow,,I was so excited, 'cause I'll interact with a new person from other country, but I knew that my capability to speak english was so bad (T.T). I was afraid, 'cause previously, I've met a friend from Italy, and I couldn't speak english at all *so poor me. His name was Pasqui and I knew him from my friend (Faelasufa). He was doing a research at that time, and I was one of respondents for his research. I didn't know why I had trouble to speak english, whereas I understood about their conversation. 

Finally, I met Seto's friend last night. Her name was Natsuki, but she was called Naccan. I tried to say hello to her at the first time like "konbanwa", it had meant "good evening". In that chance, I tried to speak english hardly, although I knew that I didn't speak very well. We could speak each other, although sometimes we found  difficult part to speak, hehehe >.< . I felt be better than the last time I used my english language ability. After dinner together, we decided to go to Sekaten. In there, we  played "Kora-kora", "ombak-ombakan", and into a haunted house (T.T). "Kora-kora" and "ombak-ombakan" made me felt 

queasiness,so queasiness, and a haunted house made me cry 'cause I was so scared. But overall, I felt very happy last night. Watashi no tomodachi, domo arigatou ^^

~sorry if this note has  bad grammar and  bad vocabulary, her writer is trying to learn english well~ =P

Gemericik Air

Gemericik air...
Suatu orkestra sederhana yang disajikan alam
Molekul air yang menumbuk partikel pasir, lumpur, dan kerikil
sssstt...hening sejenak
Rasakan ketenangan yang turut hanyut bersama alirannya

Gemericik air...
Semacam paduan suara yang dihaturkan sungai
Sekumpulan molekul air yang berlarian dan bergesekan
Manggut-manggut pada relief bumi
Resapi dawai yang melaju damai melewati gendang telingamu
Kemudian terlelaplah dalam keindahan melodi yang disuguhkan Code

Suatu malam di tepi Kali Code bersama #Tim 34

Djendelo

Dari sudut ini,
Angin dan udara menerobos tanpa permisi
Bunyi dan bising mesin transportasi merajalela begitu sempurna
Indra penglihatan dapat melumat langit dan awan tanpa sisa
Sudut ini adalah salah satu teropong tanpa batas
Sudut dengan djendela lebar,,,

Happy Mothers Day

This December is like December last year
I still can't hold your palm
I still can't kiss on both wrinkled cheeks that increasingly frail
This December is like December last year
Technology always arrange a meeting what I say and what you say
Small machine strengthen a tie between me and you
This December is like December last year
Your lips always say unceasing prayer
Your breath seeping into my dreams
But this December isn't like December last year
No more tears of sadness
But the tears of pride
December isn't like December last year
Finally I can change one of your dreams to be a real
It's yours, it's for you my mom

Happy mothers day
always be my best mother
always be my pride mother
I love you more than you knoｗ,mom
わたしのお母さん、いつもあいしてう+

Menapaki Empat Puluh Tahun Pengabdian (Ir. Retno WIdaningroem, M. Sc.)

Barangkali mentari masih jauh di ufuk timur
ketika usia berupa bilangan, belum terkatakan
ketika sabda keluar adalah celotehan riang tanpa beban
merangkai mozaik kehidupan penuh warna jingga,
tentang sekolah rakyat, tentang tempelan kapur pada pipi yang bangga kubawa pulang
tentang buah munggur goreng sangan, tempe gembus dan lempeng juruh, favoritku
tentang sekumpulan anak bengal penggandrung tebu
layaknya menikahi sekotak keceriaan tanpa agunan dosa
ringan dan menjalar dengan leluasa

Barangkali mentari tlah sepenggalah tinggi menapaki bumi pertiwi
kilauan sinar peraknya menerobos dengan gesit, hangat menyelimuti atmosfer yang legit
ketika setapak jalanku bermetamorfosa, semacam nimfa petualangan
tentang kompilasi seragam putih-pituh, pohon beringin, lagu keramat Indonesia Raya dan
upacara bendera di setiap awal minggu
tentang goa selarong berta karun jambu kluthuk
tentang segebok buku silat yang sukses menyihirku dengan fantasi rapalan jurus sakti
nyaris sempurna memorak porandakan studiku kala itu

Tatkala roda kehidupanku trus berputar, memberiku kolaborasi warna serupa bianglala
kolektor atas bermacam manusia yang kusapa teman, dengan atribut suku dan kepercayaan
aku mereguk nilai setiap penggalan perjalanan hidup
seluruhnya menjadi satu, membahana di relung hati dan meluruh jauh menukik dalam diriku
memahat sebuah prasasti yang kupanggil karakter

barangkali mentari maikn beranjak ke tengah, ketika kanvas duniaku makin renta
ketika putih abu-abu bermigrasi ke sebentuk kebebasan, keleluasaan
aku berontak pada gelar, semacam kebanggaan mungkin bagi semua orang tua
aku pribadi menggilai sebuah petualangan tanpa belenggu rantai
samapi pada suatu titik, diri ini tak lagi berdaya
gletser mencair damai serupa keluluhan, kepatuhanku yang lalu menyemayamkan impian kebebasan
dalam kampus biru UGM-ku

kusadari diri ini bukan arwana atau mas koki, yang gemulai anggun dlaam aquarium
aku adalah hiu yang bebas bergerak ke segala penjuru samudra kehidupanku
namun kuterperangkap dalam sejenis ruang aneh...gender
di dunia nyata ku hanya seorang perempuan yang digelayuti sejuta tanya,..bisakah? mampukah? bolehkah?
dan, sampailah pada penyempurnaan gelar pertama dalam wujud ijazah sarjana muda

ketika rotasi hidup sigap merasuki ruh perjalananku, aku terdampar di sebuah sudut sunyi
saat mimpi tak menyuguhkan lagi persahabatn dengan kenyataan
hanya kesungguhan menjadi penggubah paling kuat
simphoni mimpi kukejar dan kupaksa hadir dalam dunia non-fiksi
ia berlogo insinyur perempuan pertama, yang menetas di sarang perikanan GAMA

kucetak sinopsis tentang ragam warna, ragam perubahan,
sebagaimana hidup menafkahi sepenggal siangku yang terkadang terik,
terkadang bergumul dengan mendung, terkadang berteman dengan pori-pori kutikula
kukecup siang yang hampir terjangkiti sore dengan penuh syukur atas metamorfose begitu cantik

barangkali mentari sore tlah menggantikan siang, waktu membawaku lari kencang
saat, aturan tak lagi mengizinkan semangat yang trus menyala berkobar
meski terkadang belum puas akan segalanya, kini
harus kukatakan kepadamu cukup, telah cukup,,dan dengarlah doaku

semoga pelita ilmu yang kusebarkan dapat menjadi lentera masa depan
mungkin aku tak kan pernah melihat pelita itu kelak membara
semoga benih ilmu yang kutabur menjadi pohon rindang temapt berteduh masyarakat
meski kutahu tak lagi akan menuainya atau mencicipi lezat buahnya,
aku tak henti memohon semoga Allah berkenan menerima amal-amalku
yang tlah dengan segenap sungguh kupupuk, kusirami hingga telah letih usiaku

hari ini jumat di akhir bulan agustus 2012
telah tiba waktu senjaku, kemarin dan hari ini pun segera kan berlalu
esok pagi kujemput cerita lain diriku

kuberjanji, tetap berjalan tegak, tetap menatap ke depan hingga akhir ujung perjalanan
saat aku tunduk bersimpuh menerima taqdir Illahi Robbi
"Wahai,,kembalillah perjalananmu telah usai"
Di kala saatku tiba, kukan tersenyum riang meninggalkanmu, meninggalkan semuanya
karena aku telah berbuat yang aku bisa
SAMPAI JUMPA ANAK-ANAKKU, SAMPAI BERTEMU SAUDARA-SAUDARAKU. AMIIIN

Persembahan untuk Bunda Retno

Pagi tanpa matahari…. Mendung merangkul cahaya
Ketakutan menyeringai di balik jendela
Kekuatan kakiku membeku
Menyulam keputusasaan penuh hasrat
Tak ada manusia,,,
Aku memakai selendang berlumur mimpi
Mimpi tentang tarian di tengah alam
Luas tanpa jeda,,,,,
Tapi aku menggigil,,menelan hujan di balik kaca transparan
Tiba-tiba aku mencintai ruang pengap ini
Entah aku ingin atau tidak ingin
            Kemudian manusia itu berputar di antara petir
            Melenggok indah di bawah hujan
            Menari tanpa selendang,,,menari tanpa sepatu
            Tarian bebas tak ada batas
            Aku mengernyip di balik labirin
            Aku tak ingin mencintai ruang pengap ini lagi
            Engkau menarikku,,,
Kunikmati wajah renta tanpa lelah
“jangan menunggu hujan berhenti, belajarlah menari di tengah badai”
Mendung tetap bergelayut manja pada siang
Angin menderu,,menyambar molekul air
Aku tersungkur tanpa alas,,,
Khusyu, menerjemahkan tabrakan hujan pada epidermis
Letih,,,dingin,,,sakau pada kehangatan
Engkau tetap berputar,,,melentikkan jari,,,
menari tanpa henti
Senyum tak pernah usai,,,rapalan doa tak kunjung selesai,,, engkau menuntun kakiku
Memboikot takut,,,menawan cemas,,,
“Jangan pernah lari,,jangan pernah menghindari hujan,,karena hujan akan segera reda”
Kemudian kita Melenggok indah di bawah hujan
Menari tanpa selendang,,,menari tanpa sepatu
Tarian bebas tak ada batas
                        Malam  melepas petang,,
                        Menanggalkan mendung,,menyayat gerimis
                        Gelap dirayapi bulan,,
                        Langit menggendong ribuan bintang,,                        
“akhirnya tarian kita berada di tengah cahaya kan?”                        
sabda lembut yang mulai menua,,                        
“terima kasih,bunda”
                        Kemudian kita Melenggok indah di antara temaram cahaya
Menari tanpa selendang,,,menari tanpa sepatu
Tarian bebas tak ada batas

Kesempurnaan

Dan disinilah aku hidup, dalam sebuah planet yang rutin berotasi 23 jam 56 menit 4 detik dan rajin berevolusi 365¼ hari. Kemudian aku berpikir, bagaimana aku memupuk diri hingga kesempatanku bernafas telah berkurang 22 tahun?bagian otak kiriku reflek bekerja menghitung hari yang telah kuhabiskan dengan bernafas (365 1/4 X 22 = 8.035,5 hari). Barangkali aku beranjak dengan sedikit keegoisan kemudian memelihara keegoisan yang semakin subur, entah kapan aku menyadari bahwasannya egoku terlalu dominan?. Mungkin ketika aku paham bahwa hidup makin sulit, bukan bagiku tapi tentu saja bagi mereka, bagi kedua orang tuaku. Ketika aku paham bahwa mereka semakin amnesia terhadap egoisme diri, bagi mereka semua mimpi mereka terkubur dan melebur ke dalam mimpi anak-anak mereka. Barangkali keinginan mencium  Hajar Aswad ditelan dalam-dalam, dan dihidupkan dalam mimpi sepanjang malam. Suatu hari aku pernah bertanya pada ibu seusai shalat tahajud, "Apakah keinginan terbesar ibu?kelak akan kuwujudkan keinginan itu dengan sempurna". kemudian ibu memandangiku seraya mencium pipiku "jadilah orang yang sukses, bukan hanya untuk dirimu, untuk ibu, atau untuk bapak, tapi juga untuk orang-orang sekitarmu?jadilah apa yang kau inginkan nak, maka itulah keinginan terbesarku, itulah kesempurnaan bagi ibu". Padahal setiap bulan haji datang, ibu selalu berkaca-kaca memandang di layar televisi, terhipnotis dengan ka'bah, tapi ibu akan tetap mengumpulkan selembar demi selembar uang kartal untuk cita-citaku bukan untuk memenuhi keinginannya berangkat haji.  

Dan disinilah aku hidup, menghirup oksigen dengan tambahan sedikit karbondioksida, agaknya bumi menjalani khemoterapi, semakin gundul dan kritis. Aaaah barangkali umur bumi tak mampu menjangkau masa revolusinya atau bahkan tak sempat menjalani periode rotasinya atau ternyata usiaku lah yang terlalu kelelahan mengejar periode perputaran bumi. Suatu saat aku akan menjalani seleksi alam dan suatu waktu nanti aku akan mengalah pada takdir, tak ada lagi kesempatan untuk menghembuskan nafas. Dan apa yang telah kuperbuat untuk orang-orang sekitarku??aku takut menimbangnya, aku takut bahwa ketidakbaikanku lebih berat berjuta-juta ton dibandingkan kebaikanku. Maka jangan lagi menilai kesempurnaan sikap dari cermin sendiri, tapi nilailah kesempurnaan sikap dari cermin orang-orang sekitar. Berbagilah dan bangunlah kebahagiaan untuk orang-orang sekitar, dan senyum merekalah yang sebenarnya menjadi sebuah kesempurnaan. Sebelum nafasku ditarik dan detak jantungku dihentikan, barangkali aku ingin sukses membahagiakan orang-orang di sekitarku, inilah sebuah kesempurnaan.
