"Prayer is everywhere. Prayer fills the universe. It's in the jungles, it's in the mountain eruptions. There's in the roar of the storm that's mad."
(Quotes words from the scooter iksan musician)
...----------------...
At night in Surya Kencana Square, Edy set up a tent and he fell asleep in the tent. In the content of his dream, Edy had a beautiful dream about Rara, as if Rara was Edy's lover in the dream.
The wind pierced Edy's body. The air grew colder for a moment before Edy opened her eyes again. Red tent lights greeted him. 'Huh??' edy was surprised. On his shoulders, Yasmine laid her head.
"Yasmine?" Edy surprise. Spontaneously she moved her body backwards. Yasmine remained in her mind as she occasionally fixed her head.
Edy breathed out a loud breath to restore her consciousness from the beautiful dream with Rara that had just happened in her sleep. He wondered to himself as he looked at the ceiling of the tent.
Edy got up, sat down, and folded his knees against his body. He hugged his own body strongly.
"Rara" said Edy.
........
Outside the tent. Beautiful edelweiss flower in the lap of Surya Kencana Gunung Gede Pangrango at night. Lining trees, flowers, and grasses dressed up and glazed on its edges.
the sound of a waterfall behind the border there melodious melodious than usual, watered the wind wiping the forest sleep.
Edy out the tent. Near the campfire, a hot sip of coffee and 1 cigarette in his hand, he broke the ice in his mind.
"The wilderness full moon party is taking place in Surya Kencana" Yasmine said. He followed Edy out of the tent.
Edy smiled appreciating Yasmine's words. Yasmine approaching. A cup of coffee that Edy offers.
"I'm sorry" Yasmine said.
Edy froze back up instantly. Yasmine spoke as Rara spoke in her dream. 'Sorry?' inner Edy.
In a very slow motion, Edy turned his head to Yasmine. 'Ahh, the woman beside me this time is Yasmine, and this is real.
"Edy" Yasmine said softly as she waved her hands in front of Edy's dreamy face.
Edy regained his consciousness.
"Sorry, I moved into your tent" Yasmine said again.
"Ohh, not papa santuy"
"I was cold in the tent all night"
"Sure, the wind is blowing hard"
"I thought that if I was in a cold tent like that, how Pak Agus who sleeps with a simple bivouac like that. only wear a sarong without sleeping bag anyway" yasmine explained while pointing to the traditional tent that is often made by Pangrango Porter Gede like Pak Agus.
"Ohh, so now Mr agus is in your tent?"
"Yes, I went out and asked Mr. Agus to move into my tent. Then I moved to your tent" Yasmine explained again.
"Yes, gakpapa,Yasmine. Just relax"
"Yes makasi. I need to feel ashamed to clarify this. Frightened..." Yasmine held back and extended the end of her sentence. "Someone is angry" he continued.
"Haha. I'm alone, Yash. No one cares if I exist or not. Moreover, just a legend with nobody" Edy explained to make Yasmine comfortable.
"Lantas Rara?? ask Yasmine.
"Huh?" and again Edy was surprised.
"Rome. You're delirious of calling out that name over and over again in your sleep" Yasmine clarified the question.
"Rara" said Edy.
...***...
The Corner, Bandung Hotel. Stores of walkers.
Rara spends the night at Edy's pleasure shop. Time is too late for a regular like Rara, only she is getting used to her new life pattern. Moreover, since he decided to force himself to be a person who likes to read.
'Vil and vanity exist, for man is not busy with Coffee, Books, and Love.'
Rara read the quote on the closet of books provided by the store. Rara laughed to herself, her laughter agreeing. From Kang Yana, the shop owner and close friend of Edy, Rara Tau that those are the words of Edy. Kang Yana told me that the design, reference books and songs played in this store were also said to be Edy's concept.
The Corner is indeed a comfortable and authentic place. From The corner also Rara knows coffee a step deeper, precisely from the education given by Kang yana to some of its visitors, including Rara. Sensitivity to coffee is increasing. He had understood why Edy had refused the coffee he gave and instead gave it to Dani Pitak.
'Speaking coffee does speak of taste, but if you want to enjoy it more philosophically, we will realize that coffee that is too sweet or too much sugar can make the authentic side of coffee become lost' obviously Kang Yana at some point.
In addition to learning coffee, of course Rara learned about Edy. Rara feels that The Corner is Edy in another form. Coffee, Books, and Love. Three words for The Corner and Edy. Rara summed it up from Kang Yana. The more things Kang Yana told as Rara later came to the store more and more often.
After a scurry of Gayo arabika touched the roof of his mouth, while waiting for Piss who he said would come to accompany him, Rara sat on a bench near the cashier. Under the dim light that fit to read, he opened the note again from Blog Sosmed Edy.
The first is Ngopi
"A person who by God is given the gift of enthusiasm for natural activities or sensitivity to be able to explore the pleasure of cigarettes and coffee, there is no reason for him not to love the archipelago"
Rara grabbed her cup. He prepared himself to read something that he found very interesting, his inner 'Very Edy.
Assalamualaikum
it is coffee and nature, some things other than cigarettes, that can unite one person with another. Especially the walkers. It was a trigger for discussion and familiarity, a reason for living together and simply, breaking the boundaries created by treasure, age, and the throne..
This time I tried to write not on taste, effects of stimulation, levels of compounds, presentation techniques, and so forth. The tagline above is just a small sweetener for my notes that will probably taste a bit bitter. Here I'll be more dominant about his copulation. How when we coffee is not just we enjoy and talk coffee. Because 'Ngopi' is now more than just drinking coffee. Ngopi, especially in coffee shops, people can just order Lemon tea, chocolate, and so on. But still we label it as coffee. Ngopi is a tradition, is a meeting, socialization, friendship, in it. It is possible to create a warm conversation that is individual and universal.
See what coffee has done to the people of the world.
From the village to the big city, coffee in the coffee shop is as much as the initial opinion of the election of RT, the village head, and maybe also the president. From there also lobbies of buying and selling transactions and politics can be created. Academic tasks are completed, social in motion, ideas about change until perhaps a revolution is held in them.
Closer, Bandung in 2009. Literary activists form a literary study called literary coffee, a forum where literary activists gather together to no longer be busy with the moon, stars, and anger alone, they together build publications, ideas, and anger, actively and sensitively respond to social problems through literature. In the same city, 2009. The passersby of various attributes came gathered at the coffee shop. It did not take long until finally the joint mountain cleaning operation was created as a sustainable initial solution.
They walkers do it together. Coffee stalls have a hand to prove that the assumption of the pedestrians are always busy with their respective attributes, is a wrong assumption. Through coffee, they create a kind of sekre together in coffee shops.
Hopping and traveling are manifestations of the freedom of the walkers.
A traveler who appreciates the journey or process taken to get a certain value or value. Just like coffee. Bitter, sweet, and sour meet in it. He, both coffee and walkers, went through a long, complex, sustainable, interconnected, authentic journey, and spread across the country. Traveling and coffee have one other thing in common, namely opium.
Those of us who get together and coffee on Monday night is a slap to those who overtime and are forced to abide by the mechanisms of globalization. We who are packing and ready to travel on Thursday or Friday afternoon is another slap for those who are still at the work table struggling with the deadline before Saturday arrives. Yes, coffee and traveling are manifestations of the freedom of the walkers. I reckon.
Let us manifest even better our independence as walkers by coming together to create ideas both for the environment and for a more human life.
Remember, kindness does not only happen because there is the intention of the culprit, but because of coffee together, hehehe..
Greetings one cup. Greetings lestari.
wassalamualaikuk wr.
Rara read Edy's notes very solemnly. He seemed to be able to bring Edy's shadow inside his head. Sometimes Rara repeats a few more in Edy's notes to solidify Rara in capturing her meaning.
Until finally came the piss. With a sneak from behind Rara who sat back to the door, Piss circle both of her steps closed Rara's eyes.
Piss tightly locks her mouth to keep her silence, her eyes catch Rara's fine hair, a cup of coffee at the table, and........
"Raraa!" said Piss while releasing her response from Rara's eyes.
look at Edy's notes on Rara's desk. It was Piss that was shocked at that moment. Peeing up to sit on the empty seat in front of Rara, he bowed his head close to a bundle of paper notes that were none other than Edy's notes printed by Rara.
"This is the script or what's the name of Edy's, you read it all?" the word piss like a layman.
Rara smiled nodding in response to Pissing. Pissing held her head with her hands on the table, Rara stared at it with a suspicious decak and smile.
"issshh, Piss. Udahlahh, I guess what" Rara said while trying to tidy up some of Edy's notes scattered on her desk.
"Message Sana, Cing. close order sbntar again the problem" he said again.
After ordering and having a little chat with Kang Yana at the cashier, Keeking returned to Rara's desk. At first, the two were still stiff, exchanging apologies for the quiet interplay between them. As the night progressed, the two of them flowed and chatted warmly. They exchanged stories to make each other happy. And the two of them got that happiness.
Visitors to the store lived a few people, at the break of their conversation, Banda Neira song titled until it became dust, flow filled the silence.
"Asemm, I miss Edy" she said to Rara as soon as she remembered Edy listening to the song at The Corner.
Rara nodded in agreement, because Rara also knew Edy's favorite songs. Edy's portable MP3 is still on him. Rara listened to all the songs in it. Some of the same songs played in The Corner.
song songs Banda Neira , Float, Fourtwnty, scooter iksan, fletch, mustache and bear and greenhouse effect, etc, and some of the songs of independent musicians who refuse to bow to the markets dictating their musicality and work, are in Mp3 Edy.
It's not just the songs Edy listens to. Both indie and major, both local and external, in interpreting a song, edy went inside, exploring the musicality, lyrics, and the whole process behind the song was created. And he likes.
Rara remembers Edy's words on her social blog,
Process is learning and learning is process. Songs were created for a reason. People who love songs, he will learn why the song exists from the lyrics, from the type of music, from the singer, and more from the creator. There is no better song than any other song. The similarity is, he was created for a reason.
Still with the accompaniment of the songs of The Corner loaded Edy, Rara stood and walked to pay attention to the frames of travel photos are displayed around the room The Corner.
Rara turned her face to piss. Someone still wants to piss, he thought.
"Edy" said Pee again. "All the frames in this room are Edy, although not too revealing his face, only , all this is Edy's documentation" he continued.
Rara and Piss sit back. Rara bowed her head. Pissing open the hands of Rara who docked. He held the finger of his friend. From Rara's attitude, Pissing reads something that Rara regrets. Pee may already know some things, only this time he feels obliged to make Rara comfortable so that Rara will devote all her problems.
And so, Rara told me.
"All right, I'll tell you what really happened. I don't care if after this you will insult me or anything" Rara told Pee.
"All right, just tell me. Release everything. I know what I should do to you later" Piss responded.
"That morning I walked from the parking lot to Miss Diah's class with Edy. Before class starts. Willy pulled me out of class, he wanted to talk. Yaudah I'm following.
Willy cornered me, he showered me with so many questions my problems disappeared. Willy didn't know I was sick and being treated.
I know Willy likes me. And because the whole campus had seen me come and walk with Edy, Willy was angry. Willy tried to wake me up by constantly vilifying Edy's name. It was said by Willy that Edy was an offense, a rebel, a troublemaker, and so forth. I didn't really listen to him because I thought all that came out of his mouth was just the sight of someone jealous of a man.
I really miss Willy and the other guys. I really need his support to survive in that crazy situation. Only, Willy shouldn't have to blacken Edy's name in front of me on that cake. Because, between me and Edy does not have any relationship.
Seeing that I didn't really hear it, Willy called Sarah. When Sarah arrives, she is asked by Willy to tell her something. "To the point, Sarah. We don't have much time" Willy said that morning.
"Edy's a heavy drunk" that's the first word Sarah said. My eyes wide. He said the entire campus knew that Edy was often drunk in front of the studio. Willy and Sarah know very well my hatred of drunkards.
Sarah again revealed that kang krisna, the former chairman of HMJ before me, had been hit by Edy who was drunk, it was Edy doing in the middle of the field during futsal competition between SMEs and HMJ.
That morning, Miss Diah came. Finally, Willy and Sarah said that they wanted to save me from all my troubles. After that, I went back to class.
in class, the words of Willy and Sarah managed to scare me a little bit about Edy. I had stigmatized the body of the man sitting next to me.
Until finally, that moment happened. Miss Diah was angry because me and Edy who had been removed from absenteeism had dared to rewrite her name again with a pen.
When Edy and I were about to be kicked out of class, Willy stood up to defend me. Willy said that it was all Edy's doing. Willy continues to corner Edy with his accusations. He spoke like a hero without fear, especially after almost the entire class supported his statement.
Madam Diah asked me, 'Is it true everything Willy said?' i'm speechless. I'm really worried. Honestly, before Willy took me outside that morning, I was getting comfortable with that 'Broker of mine. Some kind of syndrome in love.
Sarah came up to me and hugged me. Whispered to me by her 'My mother nelfon, Rara. He was worried and asked me about you. I replied to her that you were kind, I said that you were just busy studying and focusing on proud mother'.
'It's perfectly true.They first broke my respect for Edy, the second they took my mother to my ear.
Not long. Ms. Diah repeated her question again about whether it was true as much as Willy said. I opened my mouth and said, 'yes, right. This is all Edy's doing'. Neither the destruction of Edy, nor my destruction," Rara closed her story with tears in her red eyes.
Hearing Rara's story, Pee fell silent for a while. He leaned his body into the back of the chair.
"It's not like if you want to leave me, Cing. It was as if there were no lies and questions that I had concluded," Rara's tears dripped down her cheeks. "And now I accept whatever you want to do to me" said Rara again.
Pee got up from her seat and walked away from Rara. Rara looked down and closed her eyes. He's got himself well. He knew this was going to happen. Pissing will hate it.
The silence was filled with the song The Corner.
then, someone approached Rara.
"Gayo arabika, mbak Rara" said a Corner official while putting a cup of coffee on Rara's desk.
Rara's cry subsided, she was confused and wondered to herself. 'Who ordered the coffee?' his inner. Peeing came from the direction of the toilet door and walked back to Rara's desk.
"The problem is always there, I will solve one, two, three problems and so on. Just, first, coffee first. Edy used to say that again if there was a hehehe problem" said Pissing with a smile. He held her gently with Rara's hand.
once again Pee proves what 'not fake' is'. He's not going anywhere, he's staying there with Rara. Comforting, grooming, doing the things Edy used to do to his grieving friends.
"Thank you Pee" said Rara,terharu.
"Edyyy. What have you done to the best students in our campus" said Pissing Gemas. He turned his head against the Corner ceiling. Rara who was sipping coffee, choked on hearing it.
"Edy" said Rara slowly.
"But..." Piss swing his head in front of Rara.
"After everything. Why are you sad? Why are you crying? Look, your name is back, your position in HMJ is safe, everything is back to how it was" Pissed curiously.
"I don't think the problem will be this complicated. I thought Edy would just be kicked out of Miss Diah's class. I feel guilty" Rara said.
"All right, tell me again. I'm here" Piss changed his seat. Convince Rara that Pissing is not tired of listening to Rara's story.
"I feel guilty. A few days after that incident, I was looking for Edy. Besides wanting to return the portable MP3, I want to apologize to him. Just, yeah like and up to today. I still don't know where he is. No one knows.
The more I looked for Edy, the more I met a lot of people who gave me a new perspective on an Edy. From them, I get a picture of another Edy figure, a different figure from what I got from the perspective of HMJ comrades and the majority of campus lecturers.
From that new perspective, I wondered to myself, is everything Willy, Sarah, and Campus accused of Edy true? For some reason, my little heart refused to believe"
"Good" Piss cut Rara's story. "I think it's the right time for me to talk. Related Edy" said Piss again. In her head was a lot of clarification that she told Rara.
"Yes Cing. I'm listening" Rara replied.
"One. Edy. Standard uracakan or not mendamakan what is it like? Wrong if the benchmark is only seen from the style or way of dressing. I don't know if Edy wrote this on his social blog or not, but I do know Edy hates hypocrisy. As do I. I prefer to appear urakan, or at least yaa perform as it is. But one, my heart is tidy, my heart is limpid, not dry. That's how we're fighting hypocrisy that's running around everywhere.
We prefer to put our soul first. Yes yes, the good thing is his soul is good, his body is good. But then that doesn't mean the standard of urakan only from the body, right? I agree with Edy's words, that body or shape must be destroyed, buildings can collapse, diplomas can be burned, beauty can age. Again, the form is destroyed.
sorry yes, Rara, if I'm too passionate. The problem is I'm also a lot in judge as a child urakan euy, so my argument may be very representative, hehe" Pissing set the atmosphere.
"Ga problem. Keep going again" Rara enthusiastically.
"Okay, the second. About Edy the rebel. The word rebel sounds pretty good. Just, we need to know too, need to learn, someone labeled a rebel because what?? What did he rebel about?
Edy I think is fine. Find out what he had revolted, surely in the end you even agreed to him, peddled him, held hands and participated in a row revolted together.
At our college, the only people who took the Demo to the street were just Edy. He joined the UIN, Unisba, etc. What is the demo? What did he rebel about? Bbm up, people are hard, he's fighting. Munir, marsinah, wiji thukul never clear the case, he muttered.
If we are not the learned, then who dares to rebel? All Edy did was form his attitude as a scholar. During this time we are on campus formed his views to only think about college, learning the real, nyenengin parents, and so forth. With a real lecture he said we help the development of the country, very normative, bullshit.
lastly, in the case of Anying. Edy's wrong what? Edy was in revolt because her rights were compromised. If Edy's wrong he's definitely diem, but if he's real time it's still diem. Si anying bring personal sentiments to the classroom, where it can be diemin. Someone has to fight and have to fight.
Continue next. Edy's a heavy drunk and a troublemaker" Pissing scratching his head. "This is why I am confused" said Piss Again.
"I've been explained by Kang Yana" said Rara.
"Yes, Kang Yana is the theater builder Edy on campus. She knew Edy" Pissing smiled with relief. "Where's katanta?"
"Edy's a heavy drunk, it's hard to argue with that Kang Yana said. Edy used to be a hobby of drinking Amer. Edy will be active activities here and there, hobby nge Band make lyrics and writing hobby. He said that Edy wasn't drinking mentally, inspiration wasn't there. And because Edy almost every art day, then almost every day he also drank" explained Rara.
"the funny thing. Edy drinks yes drinks, but the cry of the Adhan he goes into the mushola. Prayers. The vow. I didn't lie haha. Crazy about him "pee said.
"Oh Edy. Indeed yes haha" Rara was anxious herself. "And said Kang Yana, the peak of Edy's drinking frenzy is when his room is lost"
"Oh yes, all SMEs under the know as to what crazy Edy in those days" said Piss.
"Said Kang Yana, Edy's most valuable laptop is gone. Not the physical price of the laptop, but the data on the hard disk. There, stored the data of the novel that he had almost published, besides that there were also photographs, and notes from the first time he liked to write" explained Rara.
"I gatau up to that detail anyway, just said temen kosnya. Pasau tau room kemalingan, Edy tuh just diem, abis that way out asking usherin temennya. The guy thinks he's going to the police station, uh apparently. He bought red wine. Haha. Indeed Annjingg the Edy pas that time" said Pissing with a laugh.
"Endy stopped drinking. You know what, cing?" ask Rara.
"For the price of red wine soars high, rising twice as much as usual" replied Keeking.
"Pink!" Rara laughed off. "Serious because of that?"
"Most kids stop drinking because of that, hehe." replied Pee casually. "In addition to being afraid of me, Pejuh stopped drinking too because of that" Continue peeing.
"If Kang Yana mah said, Edy stopped drinking since he felt God loved him" said Rara.
"Yes how God does not love.mabok aja the Edy keep praying. God's inget drops. Less crazy what a kid" Pissing sneered.
"Haha, not that, Cing"
"Continue?"
"I'm on the story. Starting from when Edy was sad, and finally he decided to travel to Mount Puntang. By ourselves. On the slopes he met and talked with coffee farmers there, he was offered coffee what his name is..."
"Runtles? Sahut Pissing. "Puntang Coffee".
"Well yes, coffee butts" Rara continued her story. Variants of arabica, said the father who loves, this coffee can say sad if the drink wants to deepen and drink without sugar. Edy tried, but he just got bitter. Edy was curious, he felt the father of the farmer was not maybe a lie, even he said in every suruputnya arabica coffee it said there is a taste of the fruit, there is a taste of the land, the wood, and so forth.
Edy who was said to be all people want to know, he brought his arabican coffee home. Every day he familiarizes himself with the bitter taste, continues, continues, and continues to sharpen the sensitivity of his tongue to explore the ins and outs of coffee. Eventually Edy reached that point. Dmna point he felt all the effects that once given by alcohol, now he got many times in a cup of coffee. Candidates switch. Since then, coffee must always be there when Edy Writing, music, art and so forth. If there is none, it is dead end he said. Just like alcohol did to him.
That's why Edy said, besides being able to play music and love to read books, getting the sensitivity to be able to explore the pleasure of coffee is a gift of God. It is a form of god's love so that the remnant people who are like Edy, feel at home in this increasingly sickening life" Rara ended her story about Edy and coffee
"Do you know Edy?" Pissing wonder.
"noose" Rara stretched out her hand and opened her finger. "I was told by Kang Yana" Rara tried to sneak up.
"Keep you know about the story of Edy mukul Kang krisna futsal time?" ask Piss
"Little, how is it?"
"Kang Krisnaanya is really looking. When Edy hit him, he had actually represented a lot of people" Pee explained briefly.
Rara nodded and did not extend. The two keep chatting. I don't think the time has shown at 3 am. Both go home. Because there is still a lot that he wants them to share and exchange stories together. Pissing decides to stay at Rara's house.
