Sepucuk Surat di Bukit Wantiro

Entah ada angin apa yang mendorongku untuk sejenak menyempatkan diri berkunjung ke Bukit Wantiro sepagi ini. Ya, berjalan kaki. Hitung-hitung sebagai olahraga di tengah waktu yang padat ini.

Suasana pagi ini masih ramah. Udara segar yang ditemani berbagai tumbuhan hijau yang menyegarkan mata menemaniku sepanjang perjalanan ke Bukit Wantiro. Menengok pemandangan laut di pagi hari itu pun luar biasa nikmatnya. Baubau, kotaku tercinta, tak henti-hentinya memberikan pesona keindahanmu kepada tanah Buton ini. Senyum ini tak sengaja tersimpul mensyukuri nikmat Tuhan Yang Maha Kuasa. Karunia Allah ini tak terjangkau, kawan. :’)

Setelah beberapa menit kemudian, tibalah di tempat tujuan. “Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiii,” aku berteriak keriangan. Berlari, melompat, menari. Hal-hal gila itu aku lakukan. Tak peduli dengan orang yang melihatnya karena yang aku tahu aku bahagia berada di tempat ini. Tempatnya tenang. Pagi di Bukit Wantiro memberikan warna tersendiri jauh di dalam lubuk hatiku.

Tiba-tiba, seseorang menyapaku “Hei. Kamu bukannya yang datang ke tempat praktik dokter kemarin, kan?”

Dengan muka keheranan, aku pun memperhatikan orang tersebut. Memaksa otakku untuk berpikir kembali ke masa-masa seminggu lalu aku jatuh sakit. Dan, rupanya ingatanku berhasil menangkap memori itu. “Pak Dokter?” ucapku.

“Iya. Bagaimana kesehatannya?”

As you see, Pak dokter. Alhamdulillah sehat. Ngomong-ngomong, dokter sering ke sini juga? Sepagi ini?” tanyaku penasaran.

“Tidak juga. Cuma kalau ada waktu luang saja. Kebetulan ingin ke Bukit Wantiro saja. Suasananya menyenangkan,” jawab pak dokter singkat.

Belum lama berbincang, Nokianya pun berdering. Sebuah panggilan telepon yang menjadi pertanda berakhirnya percakapan kami berdua di pagi ini.

Dia pun pergi. Namun, tak pergi begitu saja. Sebelum meninggalkanku, dia menyerahkan sepucuk surat. “Ini untukmu. Bacalah.”

Dengan raut wajah keheranan, aku pun menerimanya dengan penuh banyak pertanyaan. “Aku?? Ada apa dengan surat ini?”

Mobilnya pun berlalu begitu saja tanpa ada perkenalan tanpa tahu nama dokter itu siapa. Tanpa tahu alasan mengapa dia memberikan surat ini kepadaku. Aneh. Sungguh aneh. Hal aneh. Ini gila. “Hei, berikan aku alasan yang jelas, dokter anneehh!”

Dan berharap isi surat ini adalah beberapa resep obat agar aku tidak sakit lagi.

A Cut and a Scar

Apa yang kau dapatkan setelah tersakiti dan sampai selama ini belum dapat tersembuhkan?

Setelah berbulan-bulan lamanya, melawan arus yang hampir membuat diri terseret ke dalam kegalauan akut.

Karena lukanya belum sembuh? Karena dia masih bertahan dalam hatimu? Karena kamu pun tidak berani melangkah keluar?

Saya kira Allah telah banyak memberikan rezeki, rahmat, dan karuniaNya kepada kamu. Tidak sadarkah kamu akan hal itu? Untuk menenangkan hatimu, jiwamu dan dirimu yang terkoyak karena kesalahanmu sendiri.

Tidak ada yang mesti diperasalahkan, karena satu-satunya terdakwa akan sakitnya perasaanmu ya adalah kamu. Kamu yang mengambil keputusan, yang bertindak dan yang menanggung semua resikonya.

Berharap saja yang terbaik setelah kejadian ini.

Lukanya ada dan berbekas.

Semoga, yang membuat luka itu, bahagia bersama pasangannya untuk selamanya.

🙂 Semangat, kamu.

Speechless membaca surat ini. Dokter itu aneh. Hal ini gila.

“Ah, kubuang saja surat tidak jelas ini. Memangnya aku kenapa? Ada apa dengan perasaanku?”

Surat ini aku kusut dan kulemparkan di tempat sampah.

Dan kisah aneh ini harus berakhir sampai di sini.

Anggap saja pertemuan dengan si dokter aneh itu ABSTRAK. –”

At This Lane

A Fiction Story.

google.com

At this lane at the nice afternoon. From your lecturer’s house.

We walk together. You and I walk to the end of lane for waiting my friend to pick me up. We walk simultaneously. Before it, you ask me to let you bring my heavy bag.

You say, “You may not have a heavy bag like this. It is not good for you.” And I just nod. I’m speechless.

google.com

Suddenly, you hold my hand. I feel there is something fun that make me happy with you. Is it sincere from you to do it to me? I nearly shed the tear because of you. I feel it is true. :’)

A love is a story. I think.

google.com

And we walk together, our feet step simultaneously and you and I laugh and smile when looking each other.

google.com

This is nice, darl. 🙂 Do you know? This is my first time to be like this. With you.

Thank you for being my prince.

You bring me to a wonderful place that never I get before.

google.com

While I wait my friend at the end of lane, we chat; tell about the vision, division of your faculty, and about my feeling to you today. “I’m happy. Thank you, darl!” I say before we keep a part. 🙂

A few minutes later, my friend come.

And I must say ‘Goodbye’ to you.

But, you just smile and walk in reverse direction, not to look at me when I want to go.

You just leave.

After holding my hand. After accompanying me. After walking together. After steping the feet simultaneously. After you make me smile. After you make me laugh. After you make me happy.

And now, you prefer to choose leaving me.

google.com

I think, this is the end of our love. Just only at this lane. Not in other lanes anymore.

Sometimes, we have to fly, feeling freedom, love, and happiness. But, we don’t forget that we are able to fall in misery. Pain. And we have to rebuild the lost spirit. Alone. With the passage of time.

And this pain tear sheds. We are separated finally.

 For the education costs today, students who take exact department must pay as much as Rp. 1.200.000 per semester and students who take non-exact department must pay as much as Rp. 1. 150.000 per semester. Every student is obligated to pay the contribution of development as much as Rp. 1.500.000. Meanwhile, Unidayan provides the scholarship for students not only who have good achievements, but also who have low economic background. It is purposed to stimulate the increasing of achievement from the students. There are Academic Achievement Increasing Scholarship (PPA), Student Studying Help Scholarship (BBM), Student Education Help Scholarship (BPM), Supersemar Scholarship from Supersemar Foundation, Extracurricular Achievement Increasing Scholarship, and Scholarship for Unidayan best graduate.

For the facilities, they should be improved, especially for the library and laboratory. The library building must be bigger and it should add more books. So, it can support the interest and ability from the student itself. Also, the quality of lecturers must be increased, so we can get the professional lecturers then we can know how to teach professionally later, especially in Teacher Training and Education Faculty. In addition, the bidding system must be better because it does not have the standardization for the subject what we want to take in higher semester.

Last, Unidayan as a good university in Baubau, it is expected to always improve the facilities, infrastructures, and the students and lecturers qualities. Then, it will be better and get good responses from all people in this university to make Unidayan more familiar worldwide.
