Ceban Tiga Foto


Beberapa pekan lalu kami berkunjung ke sebuah pantai yang bisa dibilang kurang populer. Pantainya sempit dan bersih. Pasirnya coklat muda, lautnya biru, antaranya pirus. Kanan kirinya tebing terjal berbatu, ombaknya berdebur-debur mengantarkan karang-karang kecil ke tepian. Saking indahnya, tak sampai hati orang-orang menyampah, mungkin takut "dimarahi" yang punya.

Hari masih pagi ketika kami sampai, sehingga masih sedikit orang-orang. Terlihat beberapa petugas SAR sedang berlatih menggunakan perahu motor, riuh pedagang menyiapkan kelapa muda, dan seorang juru foto yang menawarkan ceban untuk tiga foto digital. Awalnya tidak tertarik, tapi mumpung ada yang mengambilkan foto sekeluarga, kami terima tawarannya. Di luar dugaan, hasil fotonya sangat bagus, tentu saja didukung dengan kamera yang tidak kaleng-kaleng dan kelihaian sang juru foto. Akhirnya kami membeli sangat banyak foto digital, salah satunya yang saya bagikan disini. 

Sekitar jam 11, matahari semakin menyengat. Payung-payung besar dan tikar anyam dipasang untuk disewakan. Pengunjung berbagai kalangan mulai memenuhi pantai untuk main air, berkejaran dengan ombak, berfoto dengan pasangan dan keluarga, atau sekedar berdiri memandangi ombak yang besar-besar seperti saya. Berbelas juru foto juga berdatangan menawarkan jasa yang sama. Seorang juru foto yang belum juga dapat pelanggan menghampiri kami. Percakapannya dengan bapak saya dalam bahasa Jawa, saya tidak hafal tapi kurang lebih artinya seperti ini:

"Pak, fotonya buat sekeluarga sepuluh ribu tiga."

"Saya sudah dengan teman kamu. Kesiangan kamu, Mas."

"Yah, tadi saya sarapan dulu, Pak."

Sometimes you lose track of time when you're looking at everyone else's lives. Just like being in the supermarket.  Sometimes you lose track of time when you're in the supermarket. You're looking at the beauty of how things are organized well. You're looking at cute snacks or instant noodles, fancy looking utensils or various sheet masks. You're going through every corridor and every section but that's it. You're not going to buy anything. You're just admiring them. You even forget what you really need to buy. You even forget who you are going to the supermarket with and separate absently. Sometimes you lose track of time when you're looking at everyone else's lives because they are so perfect and beautiful to see. You're going through every person and every stories but that's it. You're not going to take any lessons for yourself to grow. You're just admiring them, and be jealous sometimes, or regretting your choices before. Y...

Truth or Dare

Been more than a year that I keep on hiding behind, literally, everything that I can see as shelter or coverage. It's like the secret will cause earthquake if spilled when the truth is it won't cause even a single movement of air. At some point, I feel like I could burst out because of this. I need someone to react to the secret. I keep talking to the air and myself in a quiet conservation, talking between the rain noises, talking to papers and then toss them away. At some point I feel like I want to be in a session of truth or dare game to be asked to tell the truth. Every time feels like not the right one. Every person feels like not the right listener. I feel so bad about this and it is a little weird that I'm hoping for a "bad" news as soon as possible so I can get over it. Please, pretty please, give me them bad news!! Thank you for reading my tedtalk everyone.
