Love story

Love Story: Married without love BUT not too forced ...

Long story of life that I want to share here is about the true story of a friend. Call it Ani, a young woman aged about 23 years late. Work as SPG in one store. Ani came from villages in Lampung. Is tolerable traveling from one city to another city on the island of Java is to seek fortune and experience life. His life was quite mediocre, armed with strong faith, Ani live their lives almost in accordance with the norms in force without attending other life-Abal Abal.
In his work, including Ani doing well. He even trusted by the boss and asked to teach to new employees or moved to a new place to train. While his love for life, there is something different from the story. Falling in love with your boss is a common story that we often hear. They love each other and then there is no obstacle that means. But it is the end of the love story they have to be separate, because the guy, incidentally is the boss, cheating and forced to marry someone else. Yes .. Married by Accident . Her story is closed until here.
Whatever happened, anyway .. life should still be running. With a life story like anything else, life still goes without you could give one alasanpun. Likewise with Ani, who finally made it through the days that are less fun after an unsuccessful love story.
Many adage that says, if a mate is not going to run where. If it is destined, will not inevitable. Maybe that's next for Annie's love life. Do not know how to start the story, can contact with this guy, call Anto. According to Ani, Anto the ordinary guy, not handsome, short, nothing special, not even a guy that Ani criteria like from an Anto.

Current reality, Ani and Anto is a husband and wife legally and religion. But just based on unrequited love. Ani is absolutely no love, no affection, even a sense of love for her husband is just not there. Weird .. but the real ... Worse, parents have never known Anto Ani and his family (not a relative), and they blessed the marriage. And when consent granted, Ani no smile like the bride and groom in general, Ani with eyes swollen from crying all night, forced marriage procession passed.
Already thousands of times to explain to her husband, during their still friends (not dating), have a thousand reasons to say to her husband and has millions of awkward sentences spicy heart accidentally given to Anto. But still, it's not discouraged Anto. In many ways, with every effort has been made only to avoid Anto. Not well managed and did not break the spirit and love unilaterally enormous from Anto to Ani. Ani even willing to stop work and return home. 
Now, it's been 6 months, they pass through married life. As long as it was also, according to Ani, life is empty and meaningless. Trapped in a life she did not want. There was never any conversation between husband and wife, which means new, never talk, never eat together, that there was only a cold, flat and there is no beauty like other new families. And, for the first night or evening affairs - the other night, NO. Yes .. no marital intercourse happens. Until now this. 
Anto, husband, willing to sacrifice everything, unable to deal with and live with a woman who did not love him. He's willing to wait for everything, wait for the readiness of the wife, waiting for love, waiting, and waiting patiently. He even once said, would make his wife fall in love with him, and believe that day will come.
With the determination that round, with a high sense of love and desperation, Anto brings parents came home unexpectedly Ani to apply. Ani and family who do not know the exact love life of the child, bless it all. Only recently, they know the reality of life that is passed Ani. There is no love, no flavor. That's because just as concerned family Ani ancient culture, concerned with both the name and shame the family. 
This is life. There are so many life stories that happened. Do not know what to do to live like that of Ani. Which makes me wonder, Ani family, but they are not family relatives anyway, not the families who knew each other. No accounts payable, no debts and so on. But this is the life that must be lived Ani, for now and who knows when it will arrive? For him, can not stand it anymore. I pray, I hope one day, if it be God's will, the door opened and Ani hearts to receive love and affection from Anto. Amen ...
With Love,

Cerita cinta

Cerita Cinta : Menikah tanpa cinta TAPI bukan juga dipaksa...

Sepenggal cerita hidup yang mau saya share berikut adalah tentang kisah nyata seorang teman. Sebut saja Ani, seorang wanita muda berusia sekitar 23 tahun-an. Berprofesi sebagai SPG disalah satu toko. Ani berasal dari kampung di Lampung. Sudah lumayan berkeliling dari satu kota ke kota lain di pulau Jawa ini untuk mencari rejeki dan mencari pengalaman hidup. Kehidupannya tergolong biasa- biasa saja, dengan berbekal agama yang kental, Ani menjalani kehidupannya yang hampir sesuai dengan norma- norma yang berlaku tanpa mengikuti kehidupan abal- abal lainnya.
Dalam pekerjaannya, Ani termasuk berprestasi baik. Dia bahkan dipercaya oleh bos dan diminta untuk mengajari ke pegawai baru atau dipindahkan ke tempat baru hanya untuk memberi pelatihan. Sedangkan untuk kehidupan cintanya, ada sesuatu yang berbeda dari kisahnya. Jatuh cinta kepada atasan adalah cerita umum yang sering kita dengar. Mereka kemudian saling mencintai dan tidak ada halangan yang berarti. Tapi akhir cerita cinta itu adalah mereka harus pisah, karena si cowok , notabene adalah atasannya, selingkuh dan  terpaksa harus menikah dengan orang lain. Ya.. Married by Accident. Kisahnya ditutup sampai disini.
Apapun yang sudah terjadi, toh .. hidup tetap harus berjalan. Dengan kisah hidup seperti apapun, kehidupan tetap berjalan tanpa kamu bisa memberi satu alasanpun. Begitu juga dengan Ani, yang akhirnya berhasil melewati hari- hari yang kurang menyenangkan pasca kisah cintanya yang tidak berhasil.
Banyak pepatah yang bilang, kalau jodoh tidak akan lari kemana. Jika sudah ditakdirkan, tidak akan bisa dielakkan lagi. Mungkin begitulah kehidupan cinta selanjutnya bagi Ani. Tidak tahu bagaimana awal ceritanya, bisa kenalan dengan cowok ini, sebut Anto. Menurut Ani, Anto itu cowok biasa saja, tidak tampan, pendek, tidak ada yang spesial, bahkan tidak ada kriteria cowok yang Ani sukai dari seorang Anto.

Kenyataan saat ini, Ani dan Anto adalah sepasang suami istri sah secara hukum dan agama. Tapi hanya berdasarkan cinta bertepuk sebelah tangan. Ani sama sekali tidak ada cinta, tidak ada rasa sayang , bahkan rasa suka terhadap suaminya ini saja tidak ada. Aneh.. tapi nyata... Parahnya, orangtua Ani belum pernah kenal Anto dan keluarganya ( bukan kerabat keluarga ), dan mereka merestui pernikahan itu. Dan waktu ijab kabul , Ani tidak ada senyumnya layaknya calon pengantin pada umumnya, Ani dengan mata bengkak akibat menangis semalaman , TERPAKSA melewati prosesi pernikahannya.
Sudah beribu kali menjelaskan pada suaminya, semasa mereka masih berteman ( bukan pacaran ) , sudah beribu alasan dikatakan kepada suaminya dan sudah berjuta kalimat pedas yang tidak mengenakkan hati sengaja diberikan kepada Anto. Tapi tetap saja, itu tidak mengurungkan niat Anto. Dengan berbagai cara, dengan segala upaya sudah dilakukan hanya untuk menghindari Anto. Tidak juga berhasil dan tidak mematahkan semangat dan rasa cinta sepihak yang luar biasa besarnya dari Anto ke Ani. Bahkan Ani rela berhenti bekerja dan pulang ke kampung. 
Sekarang, sudah 6 bulan lebih, mereka melewati kehidupan berumah tangga. Selama itu jugalah, menurut Ani, kehidupannya kosong dan tidak ada arti. Terjebak dalam kehidupan yang tidak diinginkannya. Tidak pernah ada percakapan yang berarti antara suami istri baru itu, tidak pernah ngobrol, tidak pernah makan bareng, yang ada hanya dingin, datar dan tidak ada keindahan seperti keluarga baru lainnya. Dan , untuk urusan malam pertama atau malam - malam lainnya, TIDAK ADA. Iya.. tidak ada hubungan intim suami istri yang terjadi. Sampai sekarang ini. 
Anto, sang suami, rela berkorban segalanya, sanggup menghadapi dan hidup bersama dengan wanita yang tidak mencintainya. Dia rela menunggu segalanya, menunggu kesiapan dari sang istri, menunggu cintanya, menunggu, dan sabar menunggu. Dia bahkan pernah berujar, akan membuat sang istri jatuh cinta kepadanya, dan yakin hari itu akan tiba.
Dengan tekadnya yang bulat, dengan rasa cintanya yang tinggi dan nekat, Anto membawa orangtuanya datang secara tiba-tiba kerumah Ani untuk melamar. Dan keluarga Ani yang tidak tahu secara pasti kehidupan cinta sang anak, merestui itu semua. Baru belakangan ini, mereka tau kenyataan hidup yang dilewati Ani. Tidak ada cinta, tidak ada rasa. Itu karena hanya karena keluarga Ani mementingkan budaya kuno, mementingkan nama baik dan aib keluarga. 
Inilah hidup. Banyak sekali cerita kehidupan yang terjadi. Tidak tahu , harus bagaimana menjalani hidup seperti yang dialami Ani. Yang membuat aku heran, keluarganya Ani, padahal mereka bukan keluarga kerabat kok, bukan keluarga yang sudah saling kenal. Tidak ada hutang piutang, tidak ada hutang budi dan sebagainya. Tapi inilah kehidupan yang harus dijalani Ani , untuk saat ini dan entah akan sampai kapan? Baginya, sudah tidak tahan lagi. Saya mendoakan , semoga suatu hari, jika memang kehendak Tuhan, pintu hati Ani dibuka dan bisa menerima cinta dan kasih sayang dari Anto. Amin...
With Love,

Mother Rag

There is a custom that has been done since Mom married Dad. Mother always keep the clothes that have profound meaning for him.
One of them is a complete wedding kebaya with batik cloth pesisiran, he neatly store in a small suitcase under the bed obsolete. Consent granted after about five decades ago, white brocade kebaya was worn for a second time when Sister Ruth, our eldest brother, side by side with her choice man in the aisle.
Throughout weddings Ma'am Ruth, his sisters we stare in awe and envious. Imagine how sacred history kebaya who was attached to the body of Sister Ruth. Kebaya itself was sewn by her late mother in the middle of the state of the country is being ravaged.
Around the mid 1950s Indonesia in a state of martial law because of the insurgency in various parts of the country. Military holds a prominent position in regulating people's lives. Poverty was up to the outposts. Mother and father who live on the outskirts of the small town of Magelang married in a simple state of the economy in the midst of chaos. Many people were forced to eat bulgur, a kind of sticky rice and rice mixture, which, according to information obtained from feedlot cattle shipments Americans to help the people of Indonesia.
Having no money to buy a decent brocade, late Grandmother Daughter forced to issue normally only fitted curtains adorn the space guests for a special event once a year like kaulan and kendurian. Curtains made ​​of a kind of brocade fabric that was cut and sewn into Grandmother Daughter bridal kebaya. After getting married, the father's army had to rush off to battle against the rebels.
Sejarahnyalah that makes it so feels expensive kebaya worn by Miss Ruth who became a bride. Somehow the mother store. Kebaya it still looks sekemilau first. Mending the mother very carefully sections started tenuous and adding beads to make it look more beautiful and modern.
Leaving old clothes is a sign of love mother to offspring. For we had already become a kind of tradition is eagerly awaited. Mothers just do it for the important moments for our family. Before giving it, usually she gathered all her children in the living room, we sat cross-legged on the floor, she sat in the chair tells the history of the garment first. We like dragged on past memories of the blue. Then we all anxiously waiting for who is the lucky person on that day.
Ma'am Ruth When first daughter was born, which is also the first grandchild Mother, you hand down blankets and baby clothes that used to wrap the body of Miss Ruth tiny when first breath of air freely in military barracks because it was the country are busy quell the rebellion. Imagine. How Mom never miss any important event in his life.
If instead we were elected, and no luck on that day, we will go into each room with his head down, keep our weeping silently. Because it means we have not considered special by Mother.
***
That tradition continues until we, the girls mother, moved to split into other cities, get married and have children. I migrated to Jakarta, working and married with Mas Harris. Ms. Ruth moved to London to follow her husband. Ms. Suti Semarang settled in with his family. Barrel, our youngest sister, chose to live in Bogor with her ​​husband and her children. Only the mother and father who insisted remain in Magelang, although Mr retired from the army.
every Lebaran we gathered there, after the show and eat ketupat Opor sungkem mother made, we would gather in the living room. As it used to. Only this time with more members. Because coupled with Mother's grandchildren already number eight. Two grandchildren of Miss Ruth, three from Suti Ma'am, one of me, two of the Laras.
sense we still like the old days, pounding anxiously, waiting for Mom who is selected on Eid this year. As for our kids, Mom's story is like a fairytale amazing history. Maybe in their minds like a documentary look at the screen of life.
Anyone who was lucky to get hand-me-down clothes feel like a lottery winner billions of dollars. And throughout the year, the story will continue touted amongst our family. Become a hot topic until the next Eid.
***
The most memorable for me is Eid five years ago. Ibu Kartini kebaya handed small size with beautiful gold embroidery all. According to the mother, it is when I wear kebaya Kartini Day celebration when I was a first grade elementary school. When I was asked by a teacher to be Kartini in a play which was staged at the school, and then invited to tour the school districts with the parade.
Kebaya that were then worn by my daughter at the same march thirty years later. My eyes glazed look petite daughter looks so sweet in her velvet kebaya. She shared, velvet was obtained from neighbors bridal makeup. Mother sewed his own and added gold embroidery that extends from the neck to the lower end of the kebaya. Now I understand how much she love me.
Recognizing how a piece of clothing can be recorded so many important events in our lives, then we started to follow the trail she keep all the clothes that we consider to have historical value. Later, when our children grow up, we'll hand it over to them one by one with a story that makes the price can not be measured with any currency.
***
The tradition was interrupted when one morning she called us sobbing. Just cry. There are no words that sparked his mouth full of tears. We know what happened, and immediately went to Magelang to the morning air.
Mr. We buried the bodies the next day in a common grave near the house so easily whenever she wants nyekar. Because we all work, we agreed to take turns keeping the mother during the period of mourning. I took time off to get past the grief accompanying her father left. But it seems like no real presence in the mother's eyes. Mothers who used to be so carefree and happy chatting now be quiet and often sat daydreaming on the veranda. There is usually accompanied Mr Ibu past dusk, drinking black coffee and banana fritters, while nostalgia. I understand the pain of Mother. So I just let the mother with her ​​world. I sat with her ​​in there. Equally silent. The important thing I could be sure that she stays healthy and not lacking anything.
Upon passing months, we saw the condition she began quietly enough. We, the girls mother, counsel to persuade the mother to sell the house and move to stay in one of our homes. Mothers may choose to stay in Bandung, Semarang, Bogor, or Jakarta. Ms. Ruth requested that we represent go to Magelang to mollify her. Of all of her daughter, Miss Ruth that most of the hand-me-down clothes Mother savings.
Ma'am Ruth home without Mom. Mother insisted on living alone in Magelang, with an aide. Living with all the memories of Mr.
***
Ma'am Suti who live closest to the mother often had to commute Semarang-Magelang for overseeing the state Capital. We feel sorry for ya Suti because apart from work, he also took care of his own children.
So she was not too late with grief, we finally compromised turns a plane ticket for her. That way she can take turns to stay at our house, visiting children and grandchildren on a regular basis. Possible to be among us, she would be a little comforted. Mother is willing, but not willing to get on a plane. We were forced to buy a train ticket, although concerned with the physical condition began frail.
Apparently she was happy to take the train. Mother can recall times courtship and honeymoon with the late Mr, met on the platform, and traveling by train.
busy as anything else, I bring her family always took time at the station. I, my husband, and my daughter. Mother hugged us tightly. Seemed happy to see us. Although I see no space on the eyes.
Something is lost in every meeting we have. She never again hand down his old clothes. We did not dare mention it. Maybe she needs time to recover. Because now recount memories mean more leverage grief. All her valuable time course closely related to the deceased father. Maternal Sister Ruth when Dad had served quell the rebellion. Menamakanku mother named Sri Sri as midwife who picked Mr. dawn bicycle ride to help the birth mother gave birth to me. And, all the things that used to feel patriotic now become so poignant. Because you have gone.
***
Apparently Mom of the year to reinvent himself. Eid that year, when we see him in Magelang, she returned to the old tradition. Mother gathered us all in the living room and began to talk. One by one the events recounted in detail by the mother. We listened earnestly. At the moment we are swept away by the story, she pulled out a large sheet, spread it in front of us. We stared at a stretch fabric features patchwork pieces are spliced ​​and sewn into a bed cover.
All the events that had just told it suddenly turned inside-torn, into pieces that are not worth, a big pile of bed cover.
"We ndak be inedible memories, "says Mom, faltered. "We could die miserable."
***
Now every time you visit the home of her children, she always asks us put out old clothes that still we keep. With heavy hearts we gave it. In front of us as well, she cut the clothes into patchwork pieces. Our childhood used to listen to how clothing store historical value, so it feels like a cut-iris.
On subsequent visits, the pieces had been stitched patchwork mother, and turned into a variety of functions. Mom sewing proficiency apparently not with age. Mother created a sheets, pillowcases, tablecloths, charming.
Sometimes we nosy ordered Mother to sew patchwork it into a variety of trivial things like napkins, mats, to cover gallons of mineral water. Ms. Ruth even been suggested that she open exchange used clothes collection in his house, and then sell the cloth stitching percanya.
now we used to laugh at history. In my house for example. We saw my husband's work shirts which was first worn when promoted to base our dinner plates. Or clothes Batikku while attending my daughter's dance performances to drink coasters. It was really funny. We laughed remembering all the events.
***
One morning the maid at home Mom with a frantic voice calling. Mother fell in the bathroom. I immediately went on a plane with the initial schedule. Arriving in Magelang, all the girls she had gathered. I saw Mom had laid in bed in the living room, where we used to gather. Mother's body covered with patchwork stitching itself.
hug Mom I burst. Kissed the back of her hand with full devotion for the last time.
***
A week after Mother's departure, we have a new power to clean up the relics mother. We do it together. Mother's fourth daughter. We walked into her bedroom with restrained tears.
Slowly we open the closet mother. Dad found a pile of clothes in the corner there. Intact. Neatly folded. Mom does not cut into patchwork pieces.

Kain Perca Ibu

Ada kebiasaan Ibu yang telah dilakukannya sejak menikah dengan Bapak. Ibu selalu menyimpan pakaian-pakaian yang memiliki arti begitu mendalam baginya.
Salah satunya adalah kebaya pengantin lengkap dengan kain batik pesisiran, rapi ia simpan di dalam koper kecil usang di bawah ranjang. Setelah ijab kabul sekitar lima puluhan tahun silam, kebaya brokat putih itu dikenakan untuk kedua kalinya ketika Mbak Ratih, kakak sulung kami, bersanding dengan lelaki pilihan hatinya di pelaminan.
Sepanjang resepsi perkawinan Mbak Ratih, kami adik-adik perempuannya menatap kagum sekaligus iri. Membayangkan betapa sakralnya riwayat kebaya yang saat itu melekat di tubuh Mbak Ratih. Kebaya itu dijahitkan sendiri oleh mendiang ibunya Ibu di tengah keadaan negeri yang sedang porak-poranda.
Sekitar pertengahan tahun 1950-an Indonesia dalam keadaan darurat perang karena banyaknya pemberontakan di berbagai daerah di tanah air. Militer memegang posisi yang menonjol dalam mengatur kehidupan masyarakat. Kemiskinan terasa sampai ke pelosok-pelosok. Ibu dan Bapak yang tinggal di pinggiran kota kecil Magelang dinikahkan secara sederhana di tengah keadaan ekonomi yang kacau-balau. Banyak rakyat terpaksa makan bulgur, semacam campuran ketan dan beras, yang menurut informasi diperoleh dari sisa makanan ternak kiriman Amerika untuk membantu rakyat Indonesia.
Karena tidak punya uang untuk membeli kain brokat yang layak, mendiang Eyang Putri terpaksa mengeluarkan gorden yang biasanya hanya dipasang menghiasi ruang tamu untuk acara istimewa setahun sekali seperti kaulan dan kendurian. Gorden yang terbuat dari kain semacam brokat itu pun digunting Eyang Putri dan dijahit menjadi kebaya pengantin. Seusai menikah, Bapak yang tentara itu harus buru-buru berangkat ke medan perang melawan pemberontak.
Sejarahnyalah yang membuat kebaya itu begitu terasa mahal saat dikenakan oleh Mbak Ratih yang menjadi pengantin. Entah bagaimana cara Ibu menyimpannya. Kebaya itu masih tampak sekemilau dulu. Ibu menisik dengan sangat hati-hati bagian-bagian yang mulai renggang dan menambahkan manik-manik agar terlihat lebih indah dan modern.
Mewariskan pakaian lama itu merupakan pertanda cinta Ibu kepada keturunannya. Bagi kami pun sudah menjadi semacam tradisi yang ditunggu-tunggu. Ibu hanya melakukannya untuk momen-momen penting bagi keluarga kami. Sebelum memberikannya, biasanya Ibu mengumpulkan semua anak perempuannya di ruang tengah, kami duduk bersila di lantai, Ibu duduk di kursi menceritakan terlebih dulu riwayat pakaian itu. Kami seperti terseret pada kenangan masa lalu yang mengharu biru. Lalu kami semua berharap-harap cemas menantikan siapakah yang menjadi orang yang beruntung pada hari itu.
Ketika putri pertama Mbak Ratih lahir, yang juga menjadi cucu pertama Ibu, Ibu melungsurkan selimut dan baju bayi yang dulu membungkus tubuh mungil Mbak Ratih ketika pertama kali menghirup udara bebas di barak militer karena saat itu negara sedang sibuk menumpas pemberontakan. Bayangkan. Betapa Ibu tidak pernah melewatkan setiap peristiwa penting dalam kehidupannya.
Jika bukan kami yang terpilih, dan tidak beruntung pada hari itu, kami akan masuk ke kamar masing-masing dengan kepala menunduk, menyimpan tangis kami diam-diam. Karena itu artinya kami belum dianggap istimewa oleh Ibu.
***
Tradisi itu berlanjut hingga kami, anak-anak perempuan Ibu, pindah berpencar ke kota-kota lain, menikah dan punya anak. Aku merantau ke Jakarta, bekerja dan menikah dengan Mas Harris. Mbak Ratih pindah ke Bandung mengikuti suaminya. Mbak Suti menetap di Semarang dengan keluarganya. Laras, adik bungsu kami, memilih tinggal di Bogor dengan suami dan anak-anaknya. Hanya Ibu dan Bapak yang berkeras tetap tinggal di Magelang, meskipun Bapak sudah pensiun dari ketentaraan.
Setiap Lebaran kami berkumpul di sana, setelah acara sungkem dan makan ketupat opor buatan Ibu, kami akan berkumpul di ruang tengah. Seperti dulu. Hanya kali ini dengan anggota yang lebih banyak. Karena ditambah dengan cucu-cucu Ibu yang sudah berjumlah delapan orang. Dua orang cucu dari Mbak Ratih, tiga dari Mbak Suti, satu dari aku, dua dari Laras.
Perasaan kami masih seperti dulu, berdebar-debar cemas, menunggu siapakah yang dipilih Ibu pada Lebaran tahun ini. Sedangkan bagi anak-anak kami, cerita Ibu seperti dongeng sejarah yang mengagumkan. Mungkin di benak mereka seperti melihat film dokumenter dengan layar hidup.
Siapa yang beruntung mendapatkan lungsuran pakaian merasa seperti menjadi pemenang lotre miliaran rupiah. Dan sepanjang tahun, cerita itu akan didengung-dengungkan terus di antara keluarga kami. Menjadi topik hangat sampai tiba Lebaran berikutnya.
***
Yang paling berkesan bagiku adalah Lebaran lima tahun yang lalu. Ibu menyerahkan kebaya Kartini berukuran mungil dengan sulaman emas yang cantik sekali. Menurut Ibu, itu adalah kebaya yang kupakai saat perayaan hari Kartini ketika aku masih kelas satu sekolah dasar. Ketika itu aku diminta oleh guru menjadi Kartini dalam sandiwara yang dipentaskan di sekolah, lalu diajak berkeliling kecamatan bersama pawai sekolah.
Kebaya itu yang kemudian dikenakan oleh putriku saat pawai yang sama tiga puluh tahun kemudian. Mataku berkaca-kaca melihat putriku yang mungil tampak begitu jelita dalam balutan kebaya beludru. Ibu bercerita, beludru itu diperolehnya dari tetangganya yang juru rias pengantin. Ibu menjahit sendiri dan menambahkan sulaman emas yang memanjang dari leher hingga ke ujung bawah kebaya. Kini aku mengerti betapa besarnya cinta Ibu kepadaku.
Menyadari betapa sehelai pakaian bisa merekam begitu banyak peristiwa penting dalam hidup kami, maka kami pun mengikuti jejak Ibu menyimpan semua pakaian yang kami anggap memiliki nilai sejarah. Kelak saat anak-anak kami dewasa nanti, kami akan menyerahkannya satu per satu kepada mereka dengan cerita yang membuat harganya tidak bisa diukur dengan mata uang mana pun.
***
Tradisi itu terhenti ketika suatu pagi Ibu menelepon kami sambil terisak-isak. Hanya menangis. Tidak ada kata-kata yang tercetus dari mulutnya yang penuh air mata. Kami tahu apa yang terjadi, dan segera berangkat ke Magelang dengan pesawat paling pagi.
Kami menguburkan jasad Bapak keesokan harinya di pemakaman umum dekat rumah agar Ibu mudah kapan pun ingin nyekar. Karena kami semua bekerja, kami sepakat untuk bergantian menjaga Ibu selama masa berkabungnya. Aku mengambil cuti untuk bisa menemani Ibu melewati kesedihannya ditinggal Bapak. Tapi rupanya kehadiranku seperti tidak nyata di mata Ibu. Ibu yang dulu begitu periang dan senang mengobrol sekarang menjadi pendiam dan sering duduk melamun di beranda. Di sana biasanya Ibu menemani Bapak melewati waktu senja, minum kopi tubruk dan pisang goreng, sambil bernostalgia. Aku memahami kepedihan Ibu. Jadi aku biarkan saja Ibu dengan dunianya. Aku duduk menemaninya di sana. Sama-sama diam. Yang penting aku bisa memastikan bahwa Ibu tetap sehat dan tidak kekurangan suatu apa.
Setelah lewat berbulan-bulan, kami melihat kondisi Ibu mulai cukup tenang. Kami, anak-anak perempuan Ibu, berembuk untuk membujuk Ibu menjual rumah lalu pindah tinggal di rumah salah satu dari kami. Ibu boleh memilih ingin tinggal di Bandung, Semarang, Bogor, atau Jakarta. Mbak Ratih yang kami minta mewakili pergi ke Magelang untuk meluluhkan hati Ibu. Dari semua anak perempuannya, Mbak Ratih yang paling banyak mendapatkan lungsuran pakaian simpanan Ibu.
Mbak Ratih pulang tanpa membawa Ibu. Ibu berkeras tinggal sendiri di Magelang, dengan seorang pembantu. Hidup dengan segala kenangannya tentang Bapak.
***
Mbak Suti yang tinggal paling dekat dengan Ibu sering kali harus pulang-pergi Semarang-Magelang untuk mengawasi keadaan Ibu. Kami merasa kasihan kepada Mbak Suti karena selain bekerja, ia juga mengurus anak-anaknya sendiri.
Supaya Ibu tidak terlalu larut dengan kesedihan, akhirnya kami berkompromi bergantian membelikan tiket pesawat untuk Ibu. Dengan begitu Ibu bisa bergantian menginap di rumah kami, mengunjungi anak-anak dan cucunya secara rutin. Mungkin dengan berada di antara kami, hati Ibu akan sedikit terhibur. Ibu bersedia, tapi tidak bersedia naik pesawat. Terpaksa kami membelikannya karcis kereta api, meskipun khawatir dengan keadaan fisiknya yang mulai renta.
Rupanya Ibu bahagia naik kereta api. Ibu bisa mengingat kembali masa-masa pacaran dan bulan madunya bersama almarhum Bapak, bertemu di peron, dan bepergian naik kereta api.
Sesibuk apa pun, aku sekeluarga selalu menyempatkan menjemput Ibu di stasiun. Aku, suamiku, dan putriku. Ibu memeluk kami erat-erat. Tampak bahagia bertemu kami. Meskipun aku melihat ada ruang kosong di matanya.
Ada yang hilang dalam setiap pertemuan kami. Ibu tidak pernah lagi melungsurkan pakaian-pakaian lamanya. Kami pun tidak berani mengungkitnya. Mungkin Ibu butuh waktu untuk pulih. Karena kini menceritakan kenangan berarti mengungkit lagi kesedihannya. Semua saat yang bernilai baginya tentu erat berkaitan dengan almarhum Bapak. Ibu melahirkan Mbak Ratih ketika Bapak harus bertugas menumpas pemberontakan. Ibu menamakanku Sri karena bidan bernama Sri yang dijemput Bapak subuh-subuh naik sepeda ontel untuk membantu persalinan Ibu melahirkanku. Dan, semua hal yang dulu terasa patriotik sekarang menjadi begitu pedih. Karena Bapak telah pergi.
***
Rupanya dalam setahun Ibu menemukan kembali dirinya. Lebaran tahun itu, ketika kami menjenguknya di Magelang, Ibu kembali kepada tradisi lamanya. Ibu mengumpulkan kami semua di ruang tengah dan mulai bercerita. Satu per satu peristiwa diceritakan dengan rinci oleh Ibu. Kami menyimak sungguh-sungguh. Di saat kami tengah hanyut dengan ceritanya, Ibu mengeluarkan sehelai kain lebar, membentangkannya di hadapan kami. Kami terbelalak melihat hamparan kain berisi potongan-potongan kain perca yang disambung dan dijahit menjadi bed cover.
Semua peristiwa yang baru saja diceritakannya itu tiba-tiba saja terobek-robek, menjadi potongan-potongan yang tidak bernilai, menjadi seonggok bed cover lebar.
”Kita ndak boleh termakan kenangan,” begitu kata Ibu, tersendat. ”Kita bisa mati merana.”
***
Sekarang setiap kali mengunjungi rumah anak-anaknya, Ibu selalu meminta kami mengeluarkan pakaian-pakaian lama yang masih kami simpan. Dengan berat hati kami memberikannya. Di hadapan kami juga, Ibu menggunting pakaian-pakaian itu menjadi potongan-potongan kain perca. Kami yang sejak kecil terbiasa mendengarkan betapa pakaian menyimpan nilai sejarah, jadi merasa seperti teriris-iris.
Pada kunjungan berikutnya, potongan-potongan kain perca itu telah dijahit Ibu, dan berubah menjadi bermacam-macam fungsi. Kemahiran Ibu menjahit rupanya tidak termakan usia. Ibu menyulapnya menjadi seprai, sarung bantal, taplak meja, yang menawan.
Kadang-kadang kami usil memesan Ibu untuk menjahitkan kain perca itu menjadi bermacam-macam hal remeh seperti serbet, keset, sampai tutup galon air mineral. Mbak Ratih malah pernah mengusulkan agar Ibu membuka bursa pengumpulan baju bekas di rumahnya, lalu menjual hasil jahitan kain percanya.
Kini kami terbiasa menertawakan sejarah. Di rumahku misalnya. Kami melihat kemeja kerja suamiku yang pertama kali dikenakan ketika naik jabatan menjadi alas piring makan kami. Atau baju batikku ketika menghadiri pementasan tari putriku menjadi tatakan gelas minum. Sungguh lucu rasanya. Kami tertawa-tawa mengingat semua peristiwa itu.
***
Suatu pagi pembantu di rumah Ibu meneleponku dengan suara panik. Ibu terjatuh di kamar mandi. Aku langsung berangkat naik pesawat dengan jadwal paling awal. Sesampainya di Magelang, semua anak perempuan Ibu sudah berkumpul. Aku melihat Ibu telah dibaringkan di ranjang di ruang tengah, tempat kami biasa berkumpul. Jasad Ibu diselubungi kain perca jahitannya sendiri.
Aku menghambur memeluk Ibu. Mencium punggung tangannya dengan penuh bakti untuk terakhir kali.
***
Seminggu setelah kepergian Ibu, baru kami memiliki kekuatan untuk membereskan barang-barang peninggalan Ibu. Kami melakukannya bersama-sama. Keempat anak perempuan Ibu. Kami melangkah masuk ke kamar Ibu dengan air mata tertahan.
Perlahan kami membuka lemari pakaian Ibu. Menemukan setumpuk pakaian Bapak di sudut sana. Utuh. Terlipat rapi. Tidak digunting Ibu menjadi potongan-potongan kain perca.
