Aku dan Duniaku
           
            Aku yang terlalu jauh memandang, dan lama hatiku tak menemukan jati diriku. Hidup bagaikan kertas putih tak bergaris biru, hampa_menyenangkan namun tak bermakna. Kembali diriku kejalan sunyi yang basah. Merangkai kisah dengan sejuta warna bintang. Menyisahkan masalalu yang menyeringai diantara kabut kelam. Hadirlah aku saat ini yang masih kosong yang juga indah. Aku ingin melukis diriku yang terpejam. Aku ingin menerka satu cat yang mewakili kebahagian abadi. Hilangkah aku diantara kegelapan dan kabut malam, meski tangisan selalu ada_kebahagiaan juga ada.
            Sejauh mana diriku memandang dunia dengan penuh keberkahan, hidup dalam badan yang seharusnya tak sia-sia, kalaulah aku kembali datang dan menyapa masa lalu merangkai ulang ceritaku. Seperti inikah jadinya aku?. Aku takkan menganggap semua manusia dalam masa lalu yang mengejek itu iblis, karena akulah iblis itu dan menjadikan mereka iblis-iblis kecil bawahanku. Lalu ketika hari ini aku dikenal sebagai apapun yang dianggap orang aku juga akan percaya, bahwa gambaran diriku di mata orang-orang yang mengenaliku adalah aku yang masih aku. Hingga aku yang akan berusaha untuk merubah itu. Meski dalam hati aku tak begitu peduli dengan suara dan pandangan subjektifitas. Tapi hanya dengan gambaran itu aku berkaca dan menyimpulkan inilah aku.
            Sajak gembala yang membuatku luluh, ataupun jeritan kelaparan yang membuatku jatuh berlutut dalam tangis adalah aku yang lemah dan tak punya daya untuk menggemgam tangan mereka yang kurus dan dingin, lalu apa artinya aku?. Jikalau pagi yang cerah ini aku masih melihat wajah mendung dan tak mampu untuk menyinari. Aku bukanlah matahari pertanda pagi, ataupun bulan pertanda malam. Tapi aku yang selalu ingin untuk menjadi kedua hal itu. Jika aku menemukan diriku yang yang masih diam maka aku sendiri yang melukis diriku dengan mata terpejam, bahwa aku masih aku.
            Nafas yang masih berhembus ini seakan hanya angin sederhana, namun melalui kesederhanaanya, mampukah aku hidup? Menempatkan nyawa dalam tubuh yang biru? Jikalau sampai nanti waktunya aku menyadari bahwa aku tak pernah sendiri. Jatuh dalam masa lalu dan membayangkan yang tak pernah ada disampingku sedang memelukku rindu dan menggandeng tanganku aku kan tertawa bahwa hanya kepada-Nya lah aku berada dan sekarang kurasa aku selalu diawasi, dijaga, dilindungi oleh-Nya. Hal itu yang membuatku sadar bahwa masa lalu dan orang masa lalu hanyalah padang pasir diatas salju. Aku yang bertingkah ini kalaupun melampaui batas akan sadar, siapa yang disampingku selalu. Maka hanya kepada-Nya lah aku berjalan untuk menemukan aku.
            Sebuah syair mengingatkanku akan betapa luas makna hidup ini yang terkadang bermula dari kesederhanaan dan kesyukuran. Suatu berita yang membawaku kembali dalam mimpi dan cita-cita adalah diriku yang mulai bisa berdansa dengan mimpi yang kurangkai. Hingga akhirnya aku sendiri yang tahu. Tiada satu orang pun yang mampu merubahku menjadi aku yang seperti aku saat ini. Hanya aku yang memilih dan menjalaninya, dengan sejuta orang disekitarku yang kusayangi. Jika aku lebih mampu lagi menggandeng tangan mereka dan mengajak mereka kedalam kebaikan, mampukah aku?.
            Kalaupun tanpa ayah dan menangis dalam pesta malam, kemudian bintang berkedip kasihan. Menganggap semua orang yang baik itu ayahku dan membuatku bercerita tentang aku dan duniaku, menangis rindu dan marah aku akan kembali mengangkat wajah yang berat dan melihat duniaku kembali dengan ribuan ayah yang saat ini, realita ini hadir dan memudahkan semua kesulitanku. Maka aku lebih bahagia. Tak begitu peduli atas kesadaran mereka akan ini. Malam kembali merenggut cahaya membuatku ingin mengatakan pada mereka bahwa karena mereka pula lah aku bangkit, karena itu aku menganggapmu ayah. Marahkah mereka?. Aku tak perlu dikasihani aku bukan peri kecil bersayap hitam yang menrengek meminta barang elektronik atau uang kertas yang disobekpun bisa. Tetapi aku yang tak berwarna ini ingin warna yang mampu mewarnai aku.
            Suatu saat nanti bila aku mampu mengatakan ( atau tidak sama sekali ). Tidak akan ada efek. Sekalipun itu dan maka dari itu, biarlah setelah memandang wajah ayah-ayahku aku pulang dan menangis hingga kelopak mataku jera dengan hati yang tak terkendali, aku kan diam kembali. Bahwa sudah cukup dengan mereka, dan mereka tak perlu tahu. Terima kasih ayah-ayahku di seluruh penjuru dunia ini yang membuatku kembali bangkit di atas roda dan goncangan angin di tiang kapal. Membuatku ingat akan semua hal baik dan membuatku mengerti kebaikan ini. Menuntunku menjadi orang yang lebih baik. Adalah aku saat ini yang juga bersyukur atas semua kejadian masa lalu itu. Kemudian dalam heningnya malam akukan berdoa untuk kemakmura ayah-ayahku dan semua orang yang memudahkanku.
            Aku dan Duniaku, aku dan ayah-ayahku, aku dan mimpiku, aku dan cita-citaku, aku dan hari ini, aku dan teman-temanku, aku dan sahabatku, aku dan jalan yang sering kulewati, aku dan air mata, aku dan tawa, aku dan percaya, aku dan aku, aku dan Tuhanku. Adalah satu membentuk diriku membuatku melangkah kembali bahwa dalam paduan ini, aku yang menghadapi dunia dengan mereka, susah maupun mudah adalah aku.
Ayah-ayahku yang belum sadar akan itu...
Dan doa yang menyertai mereka akan membuat mereka dengan sendirinya sadar...
Yang terpenting hari ini aku harus lebih baik.
Terima kasih atas keterpaduan yang satu itu.
Aku menemukan aku.

Nama pemberian ayahku yang bermakna cinta

destiny


Destiny
            God never explains His reason, why He finalize someone’s soul. I know people around me, i always hear the death of someone who are very kind. Why don’t it is bad person who never cares in each? Or God gives opportunity for them who do crimes and give them chance to repentant. God doesn’t directly explain why He took someone (who are very kind)’s soul. by living and moving on, seeking of wisdom after someone’s dead, you will understand that you are already strong enough to be chosen to feel someone that you love death.
            Sun is still bright yellow right?, and you still can’t count the stars right?. As long as it is bright yellow, you are still who you are. As long as the stars uncountable we might count together and make uncountable wishes. I am your friend, your best friend (if you feel so) and i will never let you cry for a very long time. You see, i can’t do anything except pray for your determined and become stronger. I even can’t ask to God or to sacrifice my own body for him who dead at that night. You see, i was only sitting down next you arrested my tears while my heart was tiring, i only watched your hastily. And gave my little help by opening dormitory’s gate for you. I ran to look for taxi for you (because there wasn’t public transportation at that time) i hadn’t time to say good bye or even a hug.
            Alfa my best friend i wish you were strong enough, you brought two of your sisters here Beta and Tetta. That night while we were watching movie together, you accepted your Dad’s call and your face turned sad. I wasn’t still didn’t know the reason. Tetta also accepted her family’s call and directly cried aloud. I was staying stupid and didn’t know what happened. You prepared your self and your sisters to go home speedly. I watched o’clock and told you how will you go home? Because in that time there’s no public transportation at all. While waiting for the gate’s key you told me that Tetta’s father is dead. Father is almost half of her, i hadn’t no word to say and ran for taxi. I told Alfa to message me but i accidently left my phone in my bedroom.
            I worried about you i cried last night. I didn’t know what to do ore, i took ablusion and prayed. Tetta while you were crying i got something that your father must be the best one in your life. And your mother kept a secret from you that your father is sick. You are still young and has many days ahead you. Tetta in this beauty world i never feel any realition with someone named father. For me by having many great teachers and kind person are already my father. Father isn’t always live in one house or part of your blood, for me my father is everyone who gives me motivation and life without any regrets. What about you? Hard? Yes it is. Because you may need more from him. For me, it is enough to have teachers and great man to be my father. Although they wouldn’t realize that. i hope you might understand this. In this beauty world you still have many friends that going to understand you they are better than your boyfriend, until you realize that your friends are always with you. Don’t have father, doesn’t mean lost anything.
You have been chosen as a strong girl one day, you are not alone.
( dunia boleh menjatuhkan kita, tapi kita bisa memilih untuk tetap bangkit)
For my best friend Alfa, it cannot put into words. You are my mother!!!
For Tetta, you are not alone (BANGKIT)

it is home alrady


It seems like i am only a lucky lottery girl who just selected as a volunteer without any interviewed. In a very first time i was interested with this program (volunteer of In Country Program). Knowing who i am, who just a begginer and hope being selected from hundred registrars, in a little hopeless that they are 30% of fifth semester and less from third semester maybe Nadia, Chika, Lulu, Linda, Robert, and i just 3% of them. Being experienced is the qualification, then the problem as a humble begginers, do we qualified already?.
            My lecturer, his name is Mr. Miftah was the one who interviewed me, we gethered in the room, he wanted us (Nadia, Chika, and I) come inside. In a little strange feeling and my heart said that “is he going to interview three of us at once?” he said that he have known us for 6 months so it is going to waste his time if he is going to interview us. He knows our behaviour already, he also knows how we live in social community by making friends. Suddenly we left that room with confused and doubt funny faces.
            Decision that i have choosen was hard, while i am living for a year in Islamic Dormitory and rarely go home. Maybe twice for 4 months. Actually i want to go home in this holiday and spending my free time with my little brother and i don’t know the reason why i was so happy to take the vlounteer’s formulir in administration room at that time. After i fullfill the formulir my mother called me and told me that now Alfan (my little brother) can walk and talk she explained clearly until i just want to go home directly after that call. I watched my formulir which had fullfilled already. My both hands awkward between gave it to  adminisrator or to cancel my registration. The decision was giving that formulir to administratior, and didn’t realize enough. Moreover i selected as a volunteer, between happy and sad. Now what i have to do is only to life with the decision that i have choosen. Do my best and lift up my life’s quality.
            Day first, i waited someone in the list that was going to be my partner Ms. Emma Hayes. I didn’t know who was she and waited for her arrival in UIN. I hope i could be the best partner for her and by her side when she needs some helps. I hope she could live comfortably here. After i accompanied them in their room i wanted to meet my partner because i can’t wait any longer to meet her. I looked her name in guess’s list. She is in room 41, so i knocked the door and looked for Ms. Emma. So i asked “ boleh saya bertemu dengan Ms. Emma?” and someone who has blue hair shouted “ that’s meeee!!” i was surprized and told her that i was her partner. In the morning i accompanied her in faculty and walked around UIN for a while. Someone told me in the first evaluation, she said that her name was’t Emma Hayes. Moreover my Emma Hayes in the room of 43. The word that i said was only “WHAT?”. I need to meet her tomorrow morning.
            Fortunately i met Ms. Emma Hayes. She looks very kind, fuuny, and always fun. I introduced my name and to know each other. I was so happy at that time because this Emma is like my sister. In have felt that in a very first time we meet (heart connection haha) i like the way she laugh so i try to tell some jokes when we meet and try to help her indonesian (but she has good indonesian already). Day 5 and more because Ms. Emma have known some way to reach wherever. I became useless :-D. I spent my time in my room for watcing movie, game, eat, sleep, online and so on. It was borring and i didn’t enjoy that anymore. So then i want to rebuilt our realition because i am here for her J. I try to send her message and i told her that i miss her and nice to have conversation with her again. I often visit her dormitory just to watch tv and hope she came, asked me some question or to check her essay. It works!!!
            By her side doesn’t mean that i only waiting for her help message. But come there. Maybe she thinks that i have my own privacy so it is annoyed being interupt whereas i am not at all (again i am here for her). We are closer she is like my sister my own family here. She makes me feel better and makes my day full of enegy and useful. It is great to help in each because if i need to be a better person i have to teach other people to be better than me. I use to love Ms. Lauren, Mr. Steave and others also. They are my family and friends here, my day is complete and i am happy.
            The following day students from Deakin came and i have introduced my self from some of them. We went to pasar minggu together. They are pretty funny, energetic, and full of curious J i like them all. One of them Loz, is very kind she slept for one night in my messy room J and i am happy she had been there. Another are Jassie and others they are also very friendly. Before i met them i thought in negative thinking that they are must be arrogant, dispassionate students, but i am tottaly wrong. They are so open and so enjoyable. I feel comfortable with them also. I want to give my best for them, it is great to make a friend with them all.
           

Trees becomes wet of rain i walk through the wet street and fresh red flowers surrounds me. I am happy here, i realized that i don’t want to go home, i am here for them who needs my help and give my hand. By their side when they are sad or feel uncomfortable. I am here for you guys, Mbak. Emma your days might be hard because you have to prapare essay and presentation every week but don’t worry, i know you. Your essay and your theme is always awesome.
            I am sorry if i had made some mistakes or being annoyed, those are only failed efforts to make you happy. And make you guys happy here. It is great to have different friends from different culture, habit, and tradition. We still can understand in each other, and believe in our self that it is happy to make you happy.
            This humble messages is belongs to these people who accept me to be their friend with full of limit. I learn a lot from you all. i don’t need to go home. Because it is home already. THANK YOU J.
