Penyesalan Yang Terlambat (Ayah.. kembalikan tangan Dita !)

Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim … 

This story is not to make you cry. This will inspire parents. Parents must know what they should do to their childrean later.

Sepasang suami isteri – seperti pasangan lain di kota-kota besar meninggalkan anak-anak diasuh pembantu rumah sewaktu bekerja. Anak tunggal pasangan ini, perempuan cantik berusia tiga setengah tahun. Sendirian ia di rumah dan kerap kali dibiarkan pembantunya karena sibuk bekerja di dapur. Bermainlah dia bersama ayun-ayunan di atas buaian yang dibeli ayahnya, ataupun memetik bunga dan lain-lain di halaman rumahny

Suatu hari dia melihat sebatang paku karat. Dan ia pun mencoret lantai tempat mobil ayahnya diparkirkan , tetapi karena lantainya terbuat dari marmer maka coretan tidak kelihatan. Dicobanya lagi pada mobil baru ayahnya. Ya… karena mobil itu bewarna gelap, maka coretannya tampak jelas. Apalagi anak-anak ini pun membuat coretan sesuai dengan kreativitasnya.

Hari itu ayah dan ibunya bermotor ke tempat kerja karena ingin menghindari macet. Setelah sebelah kanan mobil sudah penuh coretan maka ia beralih ke sebelah kiri mobil. Dibuatnya gambar ibu dan ayahnya, gambarnya sendiri, lukisan ayam, kucing dan lain sebagainya mengikut imaginasinya. Kejadian itu berlangsung tanpa disadari oleh si pembantu rumah.

Saat pulang petang, terkejutlah pasangan suami istri itu melihat mobil yang baru setahun dibeli dengan bayaran angsuran yang masih lama lunasnya. Si bapak yang belum lagi masuk ke rumah ini pun terus menjerit, “Kerjaan siapa ini !!!” …. Pembantu rumah yang tersentak engan jeritan itu berlari keluar. Dia juga beristighfar. Mukanya merah padam ketakutan lebih-lebih melihat wajah bengis tuannya. Sekali lagi diajukan pertanyaan keras kepadanya, dia terus mengatakan ‘ Saya tidak tahu..tuan.” “Kamu dirumah sepanjang hari, apa saja yg kau lakukan?” hardik si isteri lagi.

Si anak yang mendengar suara ayahnya, tiba-tiba berlari keluar dari kamarnya. Dengan penuh manja dia berkata “Dita yg membuat gambar itu ayahhh.. cantik …kan!” katanya sambil memeluk ayahnya sambil bermanja seperti biasa.. Si ayah yang sudah hilang kesabaran mengambil sebatang ranting kecil dari pohon di depan rumahnya, terus dipukulkannya berkali-kali ke telapak tangan anaknya . Si anak yang tak mengerti apa apa menagis kesakitan, pedih sekaligus ketakutan. Puas memukul telapak tangan, si ayah memukul pula belakang tangan anaknya.

Sedangkan Si ibu cuma mendiamkan saja, seolah merestui dan merasa puas dengan hukuman yang dikenakan. Pembantu rumah terbengong, tidak tahu harus berbuat apa… Si ayah cukup lama memukul-mukul tangan kanan dan kemudian ganti tangan kiri anaknya. Setelah si ayah masuk ke rumah diikuti si ibu, pembantu rumah tersebut menggendong anak kecil itu, membawanya ke kamar.

Dia terperanjat melihat telapak tangan dan belakang tangan si anak kecil luka-luka dan berdarah. Pembantu rumah memandikan anak kecil itu. Sambil menyiramnya dengan air, dia ikut menangis. Anak kecil itu juga menjerit-jerit menahan pedih saat luka-lukanya itu terkena air. Lalu si pembantu rumah menidurkan anak kecil itu. Si ayah sengaja membiarkan anak itu tidur bersama pembantu rumah. Keesokkan harinya, kedua belah tangan si anak bengkak. Pembantu rumah mengadu ke majikannya. “Oleskan obat saja!” jawab bapak si anak.

Pulang dari kerja, dia tidak memperhatikan anak kecil itu yang menghabiskan waktu di kamar pembantu. Si ayah konon mau memberi pelajaran pada anaknya. Tiga hari berlalu, si ayah tidak pernah menjenguk anaknya sementara si ibu juga begitu, meski setiap hari bertanya kepada pembantu rumah. “Dita demam, Bu”…jawab pembantunya ringkas. “Kasih minum panadol aja ,” jawab si ibu. Sebelum si ibu masuk kamar tidur dia menjenguk kamar pembantunya. Saat dilihat anaknya Dita dalam pelukan pembantu rumah, dia menutup lagi pintu kamar pembantunya.

Masuk hari keempat, pembantu rumah memberitahukan tuannya bahwa suhu badan Dita terlalu panas. “Sore nanti kita bawa ke klinik.. Pukul 5.00 sudah siap” kata majikannya itu. Sampai saatnya si anak yang sudah lemah dibawa ke klinik. Dokter mengarahkan agar ia dibawa ke rumah sakit karena keadaannya susah serius. Setelah beberapa hari di rawat inap dokter memanggil bapak dan ibu anak itu. “Tidak ada pilihan..” kata dokter tersebut yang mengusulkan agar kedua tangan anak itu dipotong karena sakitnya sudah terlalu parah dan infeksi akut…”Ini sudah bernanah, demi menyelamatkan nyawanya maka kedua tangannya harus dipotong dari siku ke bawah” kata dokter itu. Si bapak dan ibu bagaikan terkena halilintar mendengar kata-kata itu. Terasa dunia berhenti berputar, tapi apa yg dapat dikatakan lagi.

Si ibu meraung merangkul si anak. Dengan berat hati dan lelehan air mata isterinya, si ayah bergetar tangannya menandatangani surat persetujuan pembedahan. Keluar dari ruang bedah, selepas obat bius yang disuntikkan habis, si anak menangis kesakitan. Dia juga keheranan melihat kedua tangannya berbalut kasa putih. Ditatapnya muka ayah dan ibunya. Kemudian ke wajah pembantu rumah. Dia mengerutkan dahi melihat mereka semua menangis. Dalam siksaan menahan sakit, si anak bersuara dalam linangan air mata. “Ayah.. ibu… Dita tidak akan melakukannya lagi…. Dita tak mau lagi ayah pukul. Dita tak mau jahat lagi… Dita sayang ayah..sayang ibu.”, katanya berulang kali membuatkan si ibu gagal menahan rasa sedihnya. “Dita juga sayang Mbok Narti..” katanya memandang wajah pembantu rumah, sekaligus membuat wanita itu meraung histeris.

“Ayah.. kembalikan tangan Dita. Untuk apa diambil.. Dita janji tidak akan mengulanginya lagi! Bagaimana caranya Dita mau makan nanti ?… Bagaimana Dita mau bermain nanti ?… Dita janji tidak akan mencoret-coret mobil lagi, ” katanya berulang-ulang. Serasa hancur hati si ibu mendengar kata-kata anaknya. Meraung-raung dia sekuat hati namun takdir yang sudah terjadi tiada manusia dapat menahannya. Nasi sudah jadi bubur. Pada akhirnya si anak cantik itu meneruskan hidupnya tanpa kedua tangan dan ia masih belum mengerti mengapa tangannya tetap harus dipotong meski sudah minta maaf…Tahun demi tahun kedua orang tua tersebut menahan kepedihan dan kehancuran bathin sampai suatu saat Sang Ayah tak kuat lagi menahan kepedihannya dan wafat diiringi tangis penyesalannya yg tak bertepi…, Namun…., si Anak dengan segala keterbatasan dan kekurangannya tersebut tetap hidup tegar bahkan sangat sayang dan selalu merindukan ayahnya..

Semoga bermanfaat dan Dapat Diambil Hikmah-Nya …

Rh       : I got money from my parents ( laughing)

Az       : Don’t joking. Be serious please!

Rh       : C’mon Zahra. I know you are smart but take a time for relax. Don’t take something too serious. If you do anthing seriously everytime, you will look older than your age.

Az       : Stop kidding me, Rayhan.

Rh       : Oke well. Go on.

Scene 10 – Campus Yard

  Angela and Jessica are walking around th campus yard. They meet Nisya and Sarah.

An       : Hy Sya, Rah.

Jc         : Where is Zahra ?

Sr         : Doing assignment with Raihan, isn’t?

An       : Probably yes

Ns        : Jessi, do you know why Raihan chose Zahra to be his partner ?

Jc         : Is it strange? No, I think. Raihan just want to be more dilligent than before.

Sr         : It’s unusual. If I guess, Ray has special intention to Zahra, right? Falling inlove?

An       : If it’s true, do you mind of that ?

Ns        : Yes, I do. Zahra is a kind of girl that really hard to get.

Sr         : Moreove, I am sure that Zahra will not be gotten by Ray.

Jc         : At least, they will get closer as friend. If Zahra has close friend –a boy-, it means Zahra is normal girl who wants to close to a boy. You know, Zahra never had a boy in her life before.

Sr        : If Ray do love Zahra, he must think abt Zahra’s mom. She is very protective. I am really sure, Rayhan will be refused by Umi.

An       : Let’s see later

 Ev      : Zahra is okay? Great ? (start smoking)

Ev       : You give up? ( blow smokes to the air)

Rh       : No way! The problem is, Zahra doesn’t know abt PACARAN, Van. She really hard in falling in loe. Complicated.

Ev       : Do you know Zahra’s type ?

Rh       : Haven’t a clue.

Ev       : I think she’s looking for a man who want to be his husband. The serious one. And you? (smirking)

Rh       : Really ? We are too young to married.

  Zahra walks in front of them. She bows her head and smile.

Ev       : Ask it to herself if you want to know

Rh       : Zahraaaa...

  Zahra stop her step

Az       : yes, what’s up ?

Rh       : In busy time ? Let’s have chit-chat

Az       : About what ?

Rh       : Anything, aha, about our assignment

Zahra and Raihan sit.

Ev        : Wah, Man. It will be better if I go. Bye...

Rh       : Zah, where is your house  (blowing smokes to the air)

Az       : Uhuk..uhuk (close mouth with hand). Sorry Ray, is okay to stop smoking? I am not used to talk with smoker

Rh       : Oh Sorry Zah. ( extinguish his cigarette)

             Zahra, Last night, I dreamed of you. What kind of sign that was ?

Az       : I can’t get your point.

Rh       : Perhaps, I miss you deeply.

Az       : sorry ?

Rh       : Miss you. I think I like you.

Az       : Does it mean you love me ?

Rh       : Wao. Finally you got the point. And the answer?

Az       : answer??

Rh       : Does my love accepted ?

Az       : You are really brave to it. We don’t know each other well.

Rh       : I like saying something to-the-point.

Az       : Ohya ? Is that the way of a playboy get a girl ?

Rh       : So ?

Az       : If you want to know, come to my house

Rh       : What’s for? Meet your parents ? Hy, I just want you to be my girlfriend, not my wife.

Az       : Up to you. (get up from chair)

Rh       : Oke deal.  After I got there, you will be my girl, right?

Az       : I am not sure

Rh       : Just come to your house. It’s very easy. Let’s go

 With strong-confidence, Raihan comes to Zahra’s house.

Scene 11 – Zahra’s house

Az       : Assalamualaikum.. tok tok tok (knocking the door)

Um      : Waalaikumsalam

Az       :  Umi, this is Raihan. My classmate. He wants to meet you.

   Raihan and Umi sit. While Zahra enters to the house for taking some drinks.

Um      : (observe Raihan from top to down ) Where do you live ?

Rh                   : In Sudibyo Street, Bu.

Um      : Why did you come here ?

Rh                   : Zahra got me here, Mom

Um      : Umi knows that you like Zahra. Am I right? Unfortunately, you are not suitable for her.

 Rh      : (shocked) why so ?

Um      : You are such a bad boy. Messy.

Rh       : I like Zahra.

Um      : Love do you mean? Nonsense.

Rh       : Love is a gift from God. I deserve to love everyone, Zahra included. She is beautiful and smart.

Um      : Unfortunately, you can’t. How many times you pray a day ?

Rh       : (silent)

Um      : Have you already finished recite Alquran ?

Rh       : ( silent)

Um     : That’s it.That’s the reason why I dont like you. Someday if you think you have been better, come here again. At least, I will give you chance to be my daughter’s best friend.

Rh       : (silent) Well Umi, I know what I should do next. I have to go.

An       : Of course Miss, Raihan will be more handsome day by day.

Ms       : Really ? anything happened  to you ?

Ev       : Of course Miss. It’s about love.... (glance to Zahra)

Rh       : (interrupting Evan) No, Miss. I just want to change everything to be better

Ms       : Whatever the reason, I really glad to see you in my class. Keep it on!

            Kring...kriiiing. ( Ms Naila’s handphone is ringing. She answers it)

Ms       : Guys, I am really sorry for leaving you again. My husband got accident on the street. I must go there.

Az       : We are sorry to hear that, Miss.

   ( Ms Naila leaves the class)

  ( Evan comes to Raihan)

Ev       : Want to smoke ? (Offer a cigarette)

Rh       : No, thankyou

Ev       : (surprised) Ray, are you sure doing this ?

Rh       : What do you mean ?

Jc         : Change your style. Not smoke anymore. It’s about Zahra ?

Rh       : Maybe.

An       : I guess you do falling in love.

Rh       : Am I ?

Jc         : C’mon, Ray. Tell us what’s going on

Rh       : I dont really sure, too. Yesterday, I said love to Zahra. She didn’t answer me but he wanted me to came to her house and you know what happened?

Zahra’s mom refused me. Her mom thought I am bad guy.

An       : Oh I see, so this is the reason ?

Jc         : If so, you really interested in Zahra. You got the perfect girl, Man. It’s good.

Rh       : It will be very hard. Zahra can’t be closed easily. She makes distances from boy.

Ev        : No way. We will help you, Man. Take it easy.

Rh       : In what way ?

Jc         : How about bring a bucket of flower to Zahra and then you express your love ?

Rh       : No, It’s a useless thing. Zahra isn’t kind of romantic girl.

An       : How about share your love via campus’ microphone ?

Rh       : OMG. It’s really silly thing, Angel.

Ev        : How about sending a letter ?

Jc         : Not bad at all I think. It will be more privacy.

Rh       : Unfortunately, I can’t write letter

An       : Give it to me. I will make and send it. Deal ?

Rh       : Nice ! You all are my good friend.

Jc         : If Zahra cant’ be gotten, at least you can make yourself close to her. Be her bestfriend, maybe.

Ev       : Or perhaps her mom will think you are good man.

Rh       : I hope so.  (Look at his watch) Guys, It’s almost 1 PM. Let’s do our zuhur.

Ev, An, Jc : Dzuhur ????

Ev       : I am sorry I have to go, byee (leave the class)

Jc         : I got period

An       : So do I

Rh       : Okay. I do first, Bye.

    Evan and Raihan Angela and Jessica start to write that letter. One hour later, they finished it.

Jc         : Will we give it now ?

An       : I don’t think so. Give it to Nisya or Sarah.

Jc         : I think they will refuse it. How about Kayra ?

An       : Aha .

  They come to Kayra

Jc         : Kayra .....

  Kayra turns round his head

An       : Would you like to do a favor to us ?

Ky       : What ?

Jc         : Give this to Zahra (shows the letter)

An       : Don’t tell her this from us. You know ?

Ky       : It’s from Raihan, isnt ?

Jc         : (shocked)

Ky       : I knew Raihan falling in love with Zahra

An       : Don’t tell other. It’s secret!

  Kayra comes to Zahra and give it.

  Zahra read it. (backsong on)

  Next day, Zahra meets Raihan on the way to the class

Rh       : Assalamualaikum

Az       : Waalaikumalam. Thankyou for the letter. It was nice.

Rh       : And the reply ?

Az       : I really appreciate you in expressing your love but I can’t say anything. I keep saying “No” for pacaran.

Rh       : “ No” again ?

Az       : Don’t pretend being perfect in front of me, I know that you want me. If you already got me, you will leave me. Right ?

Rh       : It was my first intention.

Az       : Do you think I will caught by you ?

Az       : Then you changed anything for me ?

Rh       :  Not at all. I think changing something to be better is good for me too.

Az       : Okay, let’s prove it. I wonder if you can be patient waiting for me.  I just suggest you to make youself better and then meet my Umi. Umi will give the reply.

Rh       : Should I meet her ?

Az       : It’s up to you

   Zahra leaves Raihan
