APA KHABAR “KEBANGKITAN NASIONAL” BANGSAKU? Tanggal 20 Mei biasa diperingati sebagai hari Kebangkitan Nasional. Hampir lebih dari seabad kita selalu peringati tapi sampai dengan saat ini belum terlihat sisi positif yang signifikan bagi kebangkitan nasional bangsa kita. Bila kita cermati Negara yang bangsanya porak poranda akibat perang dan lain sebagainya, mereka dapat membangun kebangkitan bangsanya bersamaan dengan kebangkitan jiwa kepemilikan negaranya. Taruhlah kita lihat Jerman, yang hampir dibumi hanguskan saat Hitler berkuasa, mampu menjadi pusat perhatian dunia dengan segala tekhnologinya. Bangsanyapun belajar untuk mencintai negaranya; Dunia tidak pernah melupakan kejadian Tentara Amerika dari Pearl Harbour yang membom Hiroshima dan Nagasaki kepulauan yang dimiliki Jepang di tahun 1942. Kepulauan tersebut hancur lebur. Bukan bangsa yang kuat bila Jepang tidak mampu membuktikan bahwa sampai saat ini Raja motor dan mobil di dunia di pegang oleh bangsa tersebut karena hampir semua Negara menggunakan motor atau mobil hasil kebangkitan bangsanya. Jika kita melihat Jepang adalah bangsa yang memiliki budaya Harakiri (berani bunuh diri bila terbukti salah), hal ini terbukti dengan pengunduran diri PM Jepang Beberapa waktu lalu apapun masalahnya dia berani mempertanggungjawabkan perbuatannya kepada bangsanya. Sungguh budaya yang luhur kan. Hitler, Soekarno, Mahatma Ghandi, Indira Ghandi, Lee Kwuan Yu, Abraham Lincoln, Winston Churchill dan sejumlah Pemimpin dunia yang berani membuat negaranya sesuai dengan jalur yang semestinya. Bukan mereka tidak memiliki kesalahan tapi bagaimana mereka membuka wawasan anak buahnya menjadi lebih baik dan berpikir positif terhadap ability bangsanya. Resiko tersulitpun diambil untuk menentukan perkembangan ke depan Negara tersebut. William A. Cohen dalam “Seni Kepemimpinan” mengungkapkan di hal. 27; Tidak ada keberanian, tidak ada kemenangan. Beranikah pemimpin bangsa Indonesia untuk menang? Kita kembali pada Negara Indonesia tercinta. Kejadian demi kejadian fenomenal baik dari kepemerintahan dan hal-hal yang berada di masyarakat sampai pada titik terdasar yakni pendidikan. Berulang kali media mengungkapkan kebobrokan itu diawali dari pendidikan terhadap etika budaya, komunikasi dan rasa malu. Ini membuat Korupsi menjadi berurat berakar dalam tiap sendi kehidupan berbangsa. Tanpa uang jabatan tak kau dapat. Budi pekerti boleh saja dianggap hilang tapi kebudayaan secara adat semestinya tidak boleh hilang, atau kedua-duanya tidak boleh hilang, sementara hal itu telah terjadi dan mulai tergerus zaman. Layaknya ketika kita melihat wajah kita yang semula cantik, mulus dan indah bak gadis belia menjadi koyak ketika soul dari inner beauty tidak berjalan sesuai dengan keindahan fisik tersebut. Masyarakat tidak didik mengerti dan menjalankan kejujuran sebagai manusia. Politisasi sikap pun merasuk pada tiap kalangan tak terkecuali anak-anak di usia SD. What a World?? Kebangkitan suatu bangsa prediksinya bisa terjadi bila semua memahami fungsi dan perannya dengan baik, tidak perlu budaya “cari muka” dan “asal bos (bapak) senang” tumbuh dan berkembang bahkan kritik membangun pun perlu dilihat dari berbagai sisi. Sikap keadilan dan keberanian membuka secara jujur dari seorang pemimpin membuat rakyat yakin bahwa mereka sedang dilindungi, diajarkan dan dibina menuju keadilan serta keberanian bukan pemberontakan. Tapi jika keluhan masyarakat ditanggapi hanya oleh sebelah mata dan menganggap benar satu sisi dari sekian sisi yang harus dilihat wal hasil Demo ketidakpuasan akan terjadi. Saat ini krisis yang terungkap dari berbagai media menyebutkan bahwa dekadensi moral muncul dan mencuat semakin berubah. Semua terjadi karena muak masyarakat sudah mencapai titik klimaks. Pemimpin yang mengatakan sebagai wakil rakyat bekerja untuk mengumpulkan uang setoran kepada partai menjadi hal lumrah, dia mencari area bisnis lain yang menggunakan penetapan regulasi berdasarkan order pengusaha sehingga tentu tak kurang uang milyaran bahkan trilyunan menjadi hal yang biasa buat mereka agar bisa mengalir ke kantong pribadi dan membangun kekuatan serta kekuasaan atas orang lain. Sementara masyarakat kelas terendah yang tidak mengetahui apapun, sekolah saja kadang sulit untuk ditamatkan harus mendapatkan imbas dari kebijakan yang samar-samar hanya menguntungkan kelas tertentu. Apakah ini disebut kebangkitan bangsa? Dahulu Dawwes Dekker dalam tiga serangkainya berjuang memperkenalkan pendidikan moral bangsa kepada rakyat Indonesia yang saat itu menjadi bangsa yang dijajah pemerintah Hindia Belanda. Mereka berhasil membuka wawasan pemuda Indonesia untuk membuat pergerakan menuju Indonesia Merdeka. Mendidik pemuda untuk mengenal huruf dan tanpa balas jasa mereka mendidik pula pemuda-pemudi Indonesia berpolitik maka muncul politikus-politikus berhati mulia, mereka mencapai kemerdekaan bukan tanpa usaha. Tapi usaha yang tidak pernah mengenal hipokritisasi dan borjuisasi. Soekarno, Sutan Sjahrir, Moh. Hatta, Kyai H. Agus Salim, dll muncul untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut. Sejatinya, musuh di zaman penjajahan dapat terlihat dan kita menang karena mengetahui pasti musuh yang harus dibasmi. Sementara saat ini, Bangsa Indonesia kian rapuh melihat siapakah sebenarnya musuh utama yang harus dibasmi. Koruptorkah atau Oknum Penguasa yang melegalkan mafia berkerah putih atau dua-duanya? Jika yang seperti itu justru yang banyak muncul, lalu bagaimana mencari pemimpin tuntutan rakyat? Tidak semua yang dipikirkan bisa sesempurna yang diinginkan dalam kehidupan nyata; setidaknya orang yang menjadi pemimpin adalah orang yang pernah merasakan dihina, dikerdilkan, tidak merasakan keadilan tapi mampu mengatasi dengan positif. Ini mampu mengatasi “Bagaimana jika ….” Yang dirasakan rakyat miskin. Bukan untuk mempolitisir kemiskinan dan ketidakmampuan orang. Jika saja pemimpin kita bisa melihat rangkaian kehidupan tersebut dari banyak hal yang mereka harus pikirkan, sistim lama yang sudah membuat enak dapat dihilangkan dan kompak pada satu tujuan, pada semua kalangan; angan-angan penulis untuk hidup lebih layak mungkin bisa tercapai. Pergerakan kaum miskin menjadi lebih sejahtera secara moral bersama adalah kebangkitan sesungguhnya. Sekarang Apakah Kebangkitan Nasional Bangsa ini hanya sebuah slogan saja? Kapan ya, itu bisa menjadi bagian dari kami rakyat yang hanya menerima, mengkritik agar lebih baik, berbuat semampu kami untuk memperbaiki tatanan kehidupan yang diberikan Tuhan kepada Umatnya. Kami rindu kebangkitan bangsa yang jujur menyuarakan hati nurani tanpa embel-embel, membuang orang-orang yang hanya mampu menjilat. Rindu menjadi Negara terdepan sesuai perjalanan waktu seperti Jepang, Korea, Kamboja bahkan Malaysia. Apa khabarnya juga Kebangkitan bangsaku nanti ya, mudah-mudahan pemimpinku sadar di mana mereka berdiri dan untuk apa…. Semangat bangsa ku! Selamat Hari Kebangkitan Nasional.

THE STALKER In the morning, Sophia works on as usually as the other days. She uses the given uniform. She is a worker in one of garments. She has a husband and a-little-couple-kid. Nothing special for her life is expected to tell. All are ordinaries. She works seperatedly in the morning, noon and night. Until she was bored to do her done at the day and she learns to use the internet and try to make some connections with other people in twitter and facebook. She met more old-friends. But there was one who always tried to keep in touch every time. In the beginning, she felt so missed him after a long time she had not seen her friend. “Sophia… I ‘m so missed you so much, would you meet me in front of the pick resto?” said Anugrah “Hey… missed you too. But later on we met each other. Ok. I’ve been a lot of work lately a week later” answered Sophia lightly. Every time she worked indeed she urged to reply when her old friend expected to send the short message. She served as she didn’t know who he was. He was well-known in secondary school who loves very much her but he was known that he had another woman beside Sophia. Sophia knew but she was an east-woman from Indonesia eventhough she was hurt, she could hide her feeling. She didn’t choose him as a husband not because she didn’t want to. It was because she ought to obey what her parents said for her in the future. She kept so tidely the rule of her parent’s culture about marriage. She enjoyed doing it. But not after Anugrah disturbed her in her spare time. “ phia… I was in front of your office gate, we met directly. Ok?!” “nugrah…. Hah?!” “You had been there. Oh… my goodness!, ok, I’ll be there.” So they met finally happily. Anugrah knew that Sophia had been married and so did he. Sophia just thought that it was only passing by for a few time and never ending for what she didn’t do so far. “Hallo honey…. Could you please come here?”, “I rent a room for us.. please .. come here…” Anugrah said by phone “ Hah… hai.. what’s your doing ?, rent a room? ” Sophia had not thought that Anugrah was so mad of love such that. “What did he think about her?” she thought herself. Sophia had been disturbed by his calling and picking her up in her office and etc. She asked her husband who worked as a peddler of siomay picked her up after her working out. She felt afraid to tell about Anugrah who were so famous policy member in their region and her old friend to her husband. She felt guilty to him. Every morning, noon and night Anugrah were so fond of by phoning, send a massage and picking her up. Sophia was suggested to change her phone number. She didn’t know that Anugrah should get her number easily. At on morning after she had gone home from her works, there was a beautiful lady waiting her the security told her. “Oh.. It’s you… Sophia?” told the woman “ Yeah…?!?” Sophia answered. “Anugrah wife..!” “Do you remember Anugrah?” “Oh… hi, yeah. I know him” “You are not just recognizing him but so closed. You know you are just bad stink.. jerk…” “Ups.. can we talk politely perhaps not here?” “I think we are gonna embrased ourself if we talk like that” “ Huuoohh… you know embrassing, you feel like that but when you’d done with my husband. You’ve never been embrassing to do that… great..!” “so what?!!” “ You wanna me follow to your place…?!” “I don’t have any idea to ge the solution for this matter mam…, I just wanna that we talk first what it happens if we need that your husband should come here to explain it for us” “It’s talking about our privacy, we should talk out of the office; I just keep my works for my children life… that’s all.” “No. I just wanna you stay away from my husband” “Ok. Fine… that’s what I need” “ Watch out that….!” After talking it, Sophia left the woman herself and went home. While she was walking she cried, she could not stop her tears. Actually Sophia didn’t know why she cried. Everyone looked at her, Sophia didn’t realize that she became limelight. At home, she suddenly got headache after she knew that her husband was at home and saw her in this condition. “Oh honey what happened?” her husband asked “Are you crying? What happened? Tell me !” “Ah... nothing” she tried wipe her tears “I just get headache and hurt; maybe, it makes my tears - out. I’ll take a rest for making me much better. By the way, why don’t you go to sell siomay?” “Ah... I don’t care about siomay anymore after I saw you like that; oke… I will stay at home today and I think we must check your health to the hospital.” he suggested his wife, Sophia while he was holding and leading her to sit. “No.. I’m fine honey. Just work out now… Remember! we need to eat and pay for our children’s school fee. Although just one day it’s very precious for us. Go.. I’m fine, really...” Sophia held her husband’s hand and convinced him. “Really?Alright if you want it. I will go and if you need something just call me and I will go home soon oke? “ Her husband couldn’t hide his concern. But finally he left his wife alone. After her husband left her alone at home, Sophia cried again. She still didn’t understand about this condition. She thought why she could oblige her old friend Anughrah in the beginning, and the most important why she could do that to her husband, whom she loves so much. Her phone rang, and suprised her. When she saw the name on the screen, suddenly she was breath faster than usual when she read “Anughrah’s calling” on her phone. Sophia let her phone rang, she didn’t answer his calling. Sophia thought its better if she went to her room and left her phone here in the living room. Soon as possible she finally went to her room and changed her clothes. “What will I do now?” Sophia talked to her self. ”He said he’d rent a room for us, what is he thought of me? Doesn’t he know that I’d had a husband? “ She sat on her bad and thinking about the solution. And finally, she stood up and said “Well, I will meet him and stop this problem. Yaaa, tomorrow is Sunday so I have time to meet him” Sophia planned to call Anughrah about tomorrow so she rushed to living room and took her phone. “15 missed call from Anugrah” that’s the words which she read when she took her phone. Beside 15 missed call, Anugrah sent her 13 message too. And the content was “why don’t you pick up your phone? I know you are at home now. So.. just pick up your phone!” Unrealized, Sophia went to the window and looked around. She was afraid of coming him directly, but no one on the road or in her yard. Finally Sophia decided to call Anugerah and talked about her plan. “Like I said, I’ve rent the room for us … shophia. I’ll wait you in hotel near from your work place tomorrow after working hours, of course. If I wait you more than 2 hours, I will come to your house.” “What are you talking about Anugerah?...” but before Sophia talk about her plan to him, connection was lost and when she tried to call him she just heard “the number is unactive” WHAAAAT? Sophia was so shocked she asked to herself What did he mean that he would come to her house if I didn’t come tomorrow?. What could she do now?She was so afraid if her husban knew it. Suddenly Sophia had an idea, she thought she would find him on facebook. Finally she opened her laptop (I must change laptop with rental, how about it?because Sophia was ordinary people; read: rakyat yang belum memiliki laptop bisa computer karena hp dan rental komputer) and signs in to her account in facebook. unfortunately Anugerah was offline. She knew that Anugerah didn’t have account twitter. Desperately she leaned her head to the sofa, Sophia didn’t know what she ought to do. One thing that she wanted to do was going asleep, so she closed her eyes comfortly. “Mom...mom do you sleep? I’m hungry… “ her daughter’s voice suprised her and made her wake up. Sophia kissed her daughter. “are you hungry my sweety? Oke I’ll cook for you. Where is your brother?” Sophia hug her because with hug her daughter, she felt more comfort. She could forget her problem for a while. *** “Honey I think I will go home late today. I have some bussiness which I must have finished ” says Sophia when she leaves home and then kisses her children. “Oh yeah honey, take care. Wear your jacket, the weather is so cold” says her husband while he is preparing siomay for today. “Oke… bye...” Sophia waves to her beloved husband. Suddenly her smile is lost from her face after leaving her house. She doesn’t know whether her husband will love her like this if she tells about Anugerah to him or not?. Sophia works but much things are on her mind, because of that she doesn’t work normally. But no one is there. Shopia looks very shocked and her body was shaking when she tried to open the door completely. Hoping one can give the hand her there but the room was so dark, Shopia couldn’t see anything except one red candle in the left corner were flaming it. She walks slowly while her both hands touch the walls hoping there was electricity button. After the fifth step, she found the botton and pressed it. Lamp was turning on, she was very shocked because there was someone wearing scary mask in front of her and hit her until unconscious. Never known what Anugrah does to Shopia in that dark room then. Two days later her husband who missed her a lot felt very strange and tried to call her. She didn’t pick it up the phone. Instead she sent a text back which was written by Anugrah. “I’M BUSY; DON’T CALL ME!! ANUGRAH”. Because of that, he made suspicious that something happened through his wife. “It’s not my wife habitual done. It’s so strange message… hmmm…” Suddenly a beautiful lady came rush on him after he opened the door for going to sell his siomay. He is so surprised when this lady directly asked what he thought. “Do you want to know where your wife leaves?” “Yes. Who are you?” “ Don’t ask. Let come with me! Your wife’s critically danger” “ Where??” “To my house. Come fast” After coming to Lady’s House, she told that his wife was in her husband Anugrah who has stalked. “He just wanted to revenge while giving a friend’s pictures which are lost without bury then this’s your wife turn. We should help your wife” “Where is she??” “What I heard Anugrah rented the room for 4 days near your wife’s garment Number 432” Then Anugrah’s wife characters changes into the kind one because she knew what Anugrah’s done to her best friends. She and Shopia’s husband came to The Inn with number of room 432. Nobody’s there except a little candle and all inn things. But there is clue to make them rush on Anugrah’s warehouse in the backyard. When they come to the back yard in tip toe, Anugrah had been preparing the trap which makes his wife three finger toes cut and she is hard to release. She just asks Sophia’s husband to go through for finding Sophia in order to save her life. While Sophia husband leaves her, Anugrah find Maria, his wife, has detected injured in her finger toes; suddenly he screams “Traitor……!!!!!” he gets her head and cut it with axe that he prepared in his hand. The blood is spurting everywhere. His red-face and the sweat is dripping in the whole body then shortness of breath feels in the room. He steps through the ware house. Sophia has met her husband, Surya and opened her rope tiedly in her hands and legs on the bed. They hug a little while; she cried shockly then followed her husband to get out of the house. Known that Maria was died by Anugrah on late two years. What Sophia and Surya look at that only a wraith who helps her soul releases through heaven. Anugrah is helped by the phsiciater against his suffering. The End
