1. The Golden Compass was, in fact, the name of the book in many regions. I had a lovely hardcover copy of "Det Gyldne Kompas" in Danish on my shelf for years. I think they got lost in a move some years back, sadly. I don't know where OP is from, but I wouldn't be surprised if the title changed when it crossed the Atlantic.

2. Yeah.

3. Philip Pullman himself approved of the casting of Mrs. Coulter, and I recall quite liking her back when I watched the movie. Still a terrible adaptation and bad movie, but...

We are not judging how bad the movie is, we are judging which adapted the book the worst. There are good movies that are bad adaptions.

Propaganda below the cut (spoilers may apply)

Tales From Earthsea:

I don't think it could have been better, but it was just so off from from the books it was mainly drawing its inspiration from (I mean, I had no interest in seeing that weird weaver guy decide to off himself in the boat, but still).

Studio Ghibli is the perfect studio to capture the Le Guin vibe and yet Goro torched it so hard for no reason

To give credit where it is due, the film has some good settings and animation. Unfortunately, its beauty is only on the surface, and it is the worst Studio Ghibli movie I’ve seen. (I’ve seen almost all of them but Earwig and the Witch.) The plot is a collage of random bits of context from the first four books of the series, as well as its own stuff. It really is not the same story at all. I may have enjoyed it more if I had seen it as a child before reading the books, but not covering all the events exactly isn’t the only issue, it’s just worse. It takes the moral complexity and sensibility of the original and turns it into a typical fantasy war between good and evil (the Japanese title even translates to Ged’s War Chronicles) with emphasis on physical violence, in which evil is personified as a goth queer-coded villain whose death resolves everything. It completely misses the point of the books, which gives no such simple answers and is more focused on the darkness within everyone than an external battle. Where is the nuance? It also whitewashes everyone: most of the characters in the book are dark-skinned, but in the movie…

I was also bitter that they did my favourite character, Tehanu/Therru, dirty. She’s supposed to be horribly scarred and disfigured on half her body and reviled by people as a monster but in the movie she’s just a pretty girl with a red mark on her face. In the books, she doesn’t appear until the fourth book, Tehanu, which takes place after Lebannen is grown up and ruling a kindgom, and in which she is a mostly-nonverbal child. But here she’s aged up and thrown into the earlier story to give the protagonist a love interest and the film has him stay with them so it can focus on their romance. Even though a plot-relevant part of his character as well is his lack of interest in women and not settling into a relationship despite the people’s wishes.

Basically, they whitewashed, heteronormatized, macho-ified, and de-nuanced the narrative, and also took out the feminism.

On top of this, trying to cram the whole series into one movie is just not a good idea, and it would have been better to just decide on one book to adapt and do more justice. And yet they still added in so much that didn’t happen. When you have that much material to cover, you don’t have time or budget to be putting other things in, mate. Turning four books into one results both in a mess. Abridgment is one thing; taking particular aspects of different parts of the timeline and combining them in different ways is another. It doesn’t make a lot of sense. It’s in an unfortunate middle area where it doesn’t follow the source material but also doesn’t give enough context that people unfamiliar with the source understand. For Earthsea fans, it’s infuriating; for others, it’s confusing. Also, why did they name it after the fifth book, which is a short story collection that it doesn’t reference whatsoever?

The failure of the movie is upsetting because the books are sooo good. Yet, it was the highest-grossing Japanese movie of the year, and did win a couple awards… The Bunshun Kiichigo awards for “Worst Director” and “Worst Movie”.

The Golden Compass:

The Golden Compass isn't even the title of the book! It's called Northern Lights! And now there are editions of the book with the wrong title on them. Enfuriating. Anyways, the movie tries to follow the books story and fails completely because they don't kill off a character because they wanted a happy ending when that character being dead is crucial to the story in the third book. Also they made Mrs. Coulter blonde. Unforgivable.

They remove the ending of the book so it has a happy ending and I guess leave it for a better beginning to the second movie, only of course they never made a second movie cause the first one bombed. They also rearranged the order of the events, and, more importantly, made it lose its bite by removing darker elements and removing explicit critique of the catholic church by making the antagonistic magisterium way more generic

Terrible movie. The acting is awful, especially Mrs. Coulter, whose character in the books is chilling because of her smooth, sweet nature that belies a deep sinister calucating mind. Plus they butchered the story and took out any mention of the church as the main villain for fear of offending Christians. This ultimately defeats the purpose of the book. I hate this movie so much it's unreal

Cultural backgrounds: Anansi

Anansi is a popular folktale character and cultural hero. He is from Ghana, originating from the tales of the Akan people. He quickly got a good place in the Ashanti mythology and his legends spread across all of West Africa, and then into the Caribbean folklore.

Sometimes called Kwaku Anansi, Kompa Nanzi or Nancy, Anansi is described as both a spider (Anansi meaning “spider” in the Akan language) and a humanoid being – his depictions ranging from fully human-looking or completely spider-like to hybrids such as a spider with human face and clothes or a man with eight limbs. He is often described as having a family: he has a wife, that bears different names according to the sources, and several sons (Ntikuma, his first-born son, Tikelenkelen, his big-headed son, Nankonhwea, his son with spindly necks and legs, and Afudohwedohwe, his big bellied son). Some story also tells of Anansewa, the beautiful daughter of Anansi that he tries to wed to the most profitable parties.

Anansi is a famous trickster, renowned for his ruses, his cunning, his talent at making speeches and his skills as an orator. The Akan consider him an Abosom (equivalent to the Yoruba orishas and Vodun loas). The Abosoms are in the Akan spirituality powerful spirits, akin to lesser gods, that helped shape the world and are a link between the mortal, earthly beings and the supreme entity that is Nyame, the Sky Father. Anansi is said to be either the son of Nyame and Asase Ya, the Earth Mother, or merely their servant and messengers. However, Anansi never received any intense worship and his divine nature was never put forward by the Akan, who felt that his role as a cultural figure and folklore hero was much more useful than his religious aspect.

Among the many legends about Anansi, two stick out the most because they each explain one of Anansi’s role in the world.

The first story explains that in the beginning the world was story-less, for all of them were kept in a box by Nyame, the Sky Father. Anansi thought the world was boring and thus went up at the top of the universe to meet with Nyame and ask from him the box of stories. Nyame, impressed that Anansi managed to reach him with his silk strings, agreed to give him the stories in exchange for the capture of extremely dangerous creatures, such as the Python, the Leopard and the Hornets. Anansi managed to capture all these deadly beings through ruses and tricks, and Nyame gave him the box. That is why today Anansi is considered the master of all stories in the world and the patron of storytellers.

The second story says that a long time ago, the clever Anansi craved for more intelligence,and set out on a quest to collect all of the knowledge in the world. Then he put all of this wisdom into a jar (or a calabash) and decided to keep it all for himself. Searching a safe place to hide his treasure, he chose to put it on top of a high tree. He tried several times to climb the tree while holding the jar, or tying it to his belly, to no use. Anansi hadn’t noticed that his son, Ntikuma, had secretly followed him, curious about what his father may be doing. When Ntikuma suddenly shouted at Anansi that to carry the pot all up to the tree, he had to carry it on his back, Anansi got a shock due to the surprise.

Here the story splits in two popular versions. In the first one, Anansi, surprised, let the jar out of his hand, and it crashed on the ground. Immediately, a storm came and its rain washed all of the world’s wisdom away in the river. Anansi, angry at his son, chased him under the rain until he realized that having all the world’s wisdom was not useful if you still needed the help of a child to do things right, and forgave Ntikuma. The other version rather has Anansi following his son’s advice, and climbing on the top of the tree with the jar, only to conclude the same thing as in the other version. He then threw the jar himself onto the ground, so that the wisdom would be free to spread in the world. This story explains why Anansi isn’t merely considered as a clever and cunning trickster, but also as a “wise” figure and the one who offered knowledge and wisdom to the world. (Some like to claim that the box of stories of Nyame and the jar of wisdom of Anansi are one and the same [1]).

But these are just two of Anansi’s many stories. Another one tells of how he created the first inanimate human body, another speaks of him as the one who brings rain in the mortal world and causes the floods. He is also considered the one who taught human how to plow and sow. A legend says he created the sun, the moon and the stars and thus was responsible for days and nights[2], and another explains that he helped Owia the Sun, youngest son of Nyame, to gain his father’s role as the chief of the world, against his two older brothers Esum the Night and Osrane the Moon, and that for his services Anansi became Nyame’s personal messenger. A last tale explains that when all of the animals in the world fought over who was the oldest, Anansi won the argument because he explained that, when his father died, he had to bury him in his own head, for the earth didn’t exist back then.

Fittingly for Anansi, master of storytelling, his survival and the spread of his popularity across the globe was due to him being part of an oral culture – unwritten traditions and stories that spread from mouth to ear in all of the western African continent before going over to the Caribbean Islands, and then the New World. Indeed, when slaves were brought over from the Caribbean and the African continent to the Americas, they told each other the stories of Anansi – the “anansesem” or “spider tales” in the Ashanti language, a specific genre of tales for children centered around the Spider adventures. Since most of these stories told of a little, weak spider turning the table on powerful oppressors through his cunning and his tricks, Anansi quickly became a symbol of resistance and survival during the slavery era – and telling his tales was a way for the slaves to keep their original identity and culture alive.

However, this transition from the Old World to the New World modified Anansi’s characterization. While in America he became a classical hero to admire, imitate and follow, originally Anansi wasn’t a paragon of moral virtues. He was a flawed character and while his stories often showed him as, indeed, the winner or the survivor of a world turned against him, sometimes Anansi brought unfortunate events upon himself or the world due to his own vices – the “anansesem” were entertaining and instructive, yes, but also a warning against how avarice and selfishness could be our own undoing.  

For example, a story explains how Anansi, supposed to find Nyame a wife among a village of beautiful maidens, decided to take all of them as his own wives without any of them for Nyame, and when the Sky Father “stole back” all of Anansi’s wives for his personal harem, the Spider unleashed all of the sicknesses existing upon the world as a way to get his revenge. Another explains that Anansi one day received meat from Death itself to feed his family. However, upon seeing that Death had endless supplies of meat (for everything living in this world belongs to Death), Anansi became greedy and stole from Death. Death, angry, followed Anansi back to punish him and while the Spider evaded it, he still brought mortality into the world of the living. A last story explains how Anansi announced to all the animals that Gun, the personification of firearms, their deadly archenemy, was dead and invited them to his funeral. What the animals didn’t know was that in fact, Gun wasn’t dead, and Anansi had borrowed him from the Hunter – thus, once all the animals were reunited, Anansi killed them all and then took their bodies to his home so that he may feast on them.

Anansi was included into the Haitan Vodou as a Gede Lwa. The Lwa or Loa, falsely called “gods” of vodou, are powerful spirits forming an in-between stage between the mortal creatures and the supreme being, while the Gede were a specific family of Loa associated with death, the afterlife and funerals. As a Loa Gede, Anansi was supposed to establish or facilitate the link between the living and their deceased ancestors. [3]

LAGU YANG LAGI VIRAL

Bismillaah Beberapa waktu terakhir, sedang banyak perbincangan tentang hukum sebuah lagu. Sebenernya perdebatan ini udah lama sih. Masih hangat juga pertanyaan dari Nana; kamu pilih lagu atau Qur'an? Nah loh. Di grup kemarin sempet bahas juga pengalaman baik Nana maupun Afid yang sempat terlena karna lagu trs mempengaruhi hafalan trs mereka berlepas dari lagu. Ya gitu, shock habbits juga kan baru dari boarding school ke kampus yang lebih bebas pegang gadget. Sempat juga dilarang buat ga mikirin suatu makhluk kalo ingin bnrbnr intens sama Qur'an. Iya, untuk hal itu bukan dalam bentuk pertanyaan lagi. Tapi anjuran serta larangan! Haha oke deh aku pengen ngerangkum pandangan Bunda Riannawati yang biasa ku panggil Bunda Ri. Beliau jadi pembina IQ di pengurusan ku ke-3 dan kami pernah berkunjung ke rumahnya. Bunda juga aktif menjadi pembicara di banyak acara. Pernah bertemu di Sekolah Keluarga Samara haha ex SPN atau Sekolah Pra Nikah-nya UNS ft. KPPA Benihnya Bu Vida. Juga sering bgt ketemu di kajian Jumat siang tiap akhir bulan di NH. Biasanya aku terkorbankan oleh para takmiroh menjadi panitia dadakan seperti penjaga snack, tilawah, maupun MC. But Im happy sih. Bunda Ri mengawali diskusi dengan rambu-rambu bahwa akan banyak perbedaan pendapat karena memang ini kajiannya terkait dengan fiqh khilafiyah/perbedaan pendapat, tinggal kemantapan hatinya bagaimana. Tapi kita ingin kemantapan hati itu dengan ilmu kan ya... Dari awal aja udah ada perbedaan, misalnya ada yang yakin mengharamkan lagu dan musik, ya udah akhirnya kita hormati itu, terus berarti gak perlu dong mengkaji tafsir lagu? Ya boleh saja, siapa tahu bermanfaat bisa melihat sisi lain mengapa kita masih suka bernyanyi. Nah, dijelaskan bahwa Bunda Ri termasuk yang tidak mengharamkan lagu dan musik, menganggap boleh asal isi lagu tersebut baik dan menyeru pada kebaikan. Musik sebagai sarana yang mengantar liriknya, jadi boleh. Tapi akan berbeda jika musik tersebut laghwi/berlebih-lebihan dan membuat kita terlena. Maka di sinilah kita mengambi tengah-tengah. Nah sekarang ke lagu Aisyah Istri Rasululah. Banyak sekali yang hafal liriknya, bahkan youtuber banyak sekali yang cover. Disebutkan beliau bahwa ini merupakan fenomena budaya populer. Ketika suatu produk laku di pasaran, maka berbondong-bondong produk sejenis akan menirunya. Meniru ini dengan tujuan masing-masing, ada yang komersil (diunggah di youtube ingin dapat uang), ada yang untuk sarana dakwah, atau hanya untuk having fun aja, senang-senang. Lagu ini awalnya dari Malaysia yang berjudul ‘Aisyah Satu Dua Tiga Cinta Kamu’ milik band asal Malaysia Projector Band. Berbeda dengan lagu Aisyah Istri Rasullullah yang lebih islami, lagu awalnya justru menceritakan sepasang kekasih yang putus nyambung. Kemudian dengan notasi yang sama, lirik lagu itu diubah Mr. Bie youtuber asal Malaysia dengan lirik seperti yang kita kenal sekarang. Awalnya lagu ini bernada ceria, tapi Sabyan Gambus membawakan lagu ini dengan gaya khusyu dan mellow, diposting 29 Maret 2020. Barulah kemudian peng-cover lainnya bermunculan. Bahkan liriknya sama sekali beda, tidak tentang Aisyah, tapi dengan notasi yang sama. Ada Aishwa anak sholehah, Ramadhan dll itu. Semua menggunakan nada yang sama bukan? Karena memang itu yang sudah akrab di telinga masyarakat. Mengapa tafsir yang muncul berbeda-beda? Sama sebenarnya saat kita membaca karya sastra, ada tafsir yang berbeda juga terhadap karya yang sama. Ini muncul karena wawasan masing-masing orang berbeda. Ada yang mengganggap bahwa lirik lagu tersebut terlalu ulgar, terlalu menggambarkan fisik Rasulullah, tidak sopan menyebut beliau tanpa embel-embel. Ini menurut orang yang sudah paham tentang Aisyah dan dan punya kesan tersendiri atas pemahamannya itu. Sehingga muncul pendapat, tak layak Sayyidah Aisyah digambarkan seperti itu dalam lagu. Begitu penjelasan dosen Sastra S1 UNS tersebut. Tapi bagi orang yang tidak tahu atau sedikit sekali wawasannya tentang Aisyah, akan mengatakan o... pipinya Aisyah itu putih bersih ya, romantis banget ya sama Rasul kalau marah dicubit hidungnya, minum dengan gelas yang sama, pernah lomba lari. Itu semua sumbernya dari hadits lho, bukan karangan si pencipta lirik. Ada wawasan baru buat dia bahwa ternyata seromantis itu hubungan Rasul dan Aisyah. Bahkan ada yang kemudian mengalihkan pengidolaan mereka dari wanita atau slebritas yang cantiiik banget versi mereka, ke Aisyah yang ternyata lebih cantik. Alumni sastra postgraduated UGM ini mengemukakan rasa salut bahwa sekarang mulai banyak yang cinta Aisyah, mengenal lebih jauh dan mengidolakannya. Serta berpesan untuk proses yang sekarang ini jangan berhenti, yang perlu dikritisi justu visualisasi dalam video klip lagu. Ada kan yang menghadirkan perempuan cantik putih tidak bercadar (karena ingin menunjukkan pipi putih berseri) dan ‘dimaknai’ penonton sebagai “Aisyah kayak gitu to?” apalagi ditambah penyanyinya yang genit dengan kedip mata. Orang jadi berpikir bahwa ini ‘pelecehan’ terhadap sosok Aisyah, ada juga yang berpikir “besok kalau cari istri yang begitu’. Bunda Ri menjelaskan bahwa itu semua ranah hermeneutik, penafsiran. Menurut ilmu hermeneutik, tidak ada tafsir yang salah jika berdasar pada alasan yang jelas. Salah itu menurut orang yang menganggap tafsiran orang lain tidak sama dengan tafsirannya. "Ya akhirnya kita kembali pada selera kita yang mana. Tapi harus diingat, kita tidak bisa menyalahkan orang lain yang tidak sama seperti kita karena memang sampai di situlah dia menafsir. Dalam proses lebih, kemudian ada yang mengubah liriknya seperti yang disarankan Buya Yahya, jadi ada Sayyidah di depan nama Aisyah. Ada unsur kecerdasan Aisyah juga dimasukkan lirik, bukan hanya fisik. Dalam video klip juga sudah ada yang dibuat sederhana, tanpa memunculkan visualisasi perempuan. Ya itu semua sah-sah saja. Budaya populer ya begitu. Dibuat untuk memenuhi selera masyarakat.Digubah dan didesain ulang sesuai tujuan masing-masing." Jelasnya panjang lebar. Bunda Ri lebih sepakat dengan apa yang disampaikan Ust Abdul Shomat dalam hal ini. Bahwa permasalahannya adalah pada siapa lagu itu ditujukan. UAS menganalogikan Aisyah adalah ibu (ummull mukminin) yang kemudian kita (anaknya ini) akan mengenalkannya ke cucunya (generasi milenial), maka menggunakan bahasa milenial juga https://republika.co.id/berita/q8lg3r5524000/viral-lirik-lagu-aisyah-istri-rasulullah-ini-kata-ustaz-abdul-somad [bisa dibaca lengkapnya] "Jadi kita ambil sisi positifnya bahwa populernya lagu itu menjadi sarana generasi milenial untuk lebih mengenal dan mencintai Aisyah. Tapi setelahnya jangan berhenti sampai di situ, kita harus terus menyemangati diri dan teman-teman kita untuk belajar sosok Aisyah tidak hanya dari lagu." Analogi dari Bunda Ri sama dengan muslimah yang belum berjilbab, kita harus lembut hati mengajak mereka untuk berjilbab. Yang berjilbabnya masih ngikat leher, ya pelan-pelan kita ajak mereka mengulurkan jilbab menutup dada, yang jilbab lebar pergaulannya masih aduhai, ya pelan-pelan kita luruskan. Eishhhh. Ketampar nihh!!! :') "Jangan terlalu ekstrim hitam putih dalam berdakwah yang kaitannya dengan akhlaq. Kalau aqidah iya, tapi kalau akhlak kan semua orang butuh berproses. Tapi bagi yang sudah paham ya ayo segera, jangan berproses itu selalu dijadikan alasan nggak maju-maju." Ehm ada kegalauan lagi; tapi bagaimana kalau lirik itu membuat laki-laki memvisualisasikan dan mengundang syahwat? Jawaban beliau, "wah, ini harus dicek dulu nih, benar nggak lirik itu mengundang syahwat. Subyektif sekali saya kira. Kalau begitu, banyak lirik lagu lainnya yang jauuuuh lebih mengundang syahwat dan mengapa itu tidak dipermasalahkan. Kalau ini soal orangnya ya, bukan soal lagunya. Saya akan berikan contoh cerpen karya Hamsad Rangkuti yang berjudul “Kuhapus bekas bibirnya di bibirmu dengan bibirku” Coba, ini vulgar nggak? Itu cerpen terbaik lho versi sastrawan Kompas. Tapi tidak bagi saya  Ya mereka biasa dengan istilah2 begitu. Tapi sastra Islami tidak sama estetikanya dengan mereka, sehingga ketika menuls karya, kita tentu bisa membedakannya. Yang ekstrim ya bandingkan saja Ayu Utami dengan Helvy Tiana Rosa." Artinya apa? Perbedaan itu akan selalu ada. Kalau dikaitkan dengan dakwah di masyarakat, begitulah ternyata lahan dakwah memang sangat luas. Mereka yang masih menafsirkan dengan pemahaman mereka itu ya harus diajak lebih lagi mengenal sosok Aisyah tidak hanya dari lagu. Tapi banyak referensi, bacaan dan sumber ilmu lainnya. Semoga kita bisa mengambil ibrah, lebih bijak dalam menyikapi fenomena budaya yang terkait dengan Islam. Insya Allah iini bisa memicu kita belajar lebih banyak lagi tentang Sayyidah Aisyah. Mohon dimaafkan jika ada kekurangan, wabillahi taufiq wal hidayah. Allahua'lam.

Yes, it's one of many connections to our ancestors! My family never taught me about him, I presume because of their christian faith (I left the church a couple of years ago). I started researching my culture's history a couple of years ago and I read about Anansi till this day being an important part of folklore in my culture (we call him Kompa Nanzi). I wasn't familiar with the books the show is based on, but seeing the notorious, iconic symbol of resistance to our ancestors portrayed on tv in all his glory is really dope to see!

Angry is good. Angry gets shit done. You shed tears for Compe Anansi and here he is, telling you you are staring down the barrel of 300 years of subjugation, racist bullshit, and heart disease. He is telling you there isn’t one goddamned reason you shouldn’t go up there right now and slit the throats of every last one of these Dutch motherfuckers and set fire to this ship.

CELEBRATING MY CAREER AS A PRODUCER "FRED’S PLAYLIST" In Time For The #Holidays ~ Fred Paul With “Fred’s Playlist”, the legendary Fred Paul (“Mr. Mini”) has once again taken Compas to the limit and beyond. The double album recalls the classic Compas hits of the late 70’s and early 80’s, and their inspiration – the original Compas of Nemours Jean-Baptiste. However, make no mistake – this project is no retread. With an ear to the future, Fred explores fresh grooves with the most accomplished veteran and young musicians of the genre – hence their well-deserved group name, “Mini All-Stars”. The music literally jumps out of the speakers due to Fred’s attention to every detail of the production, as the superior high-fidelity recording showcases the arrangements and recording of the young Pascal Laraque, plus the work of Fred’s long-time trusted audio team of mix engineer Frank Miret and mastering engineer Greg Calbi. “Fred’s Playlist” is a must have for any fan of Haitian music.

Pagi itu, rokok baru saja saya nyalakan. Lidah dan kerongkongan saya butuh segelas kopi sebagai 'teman' penyeimbang. Sambil berjalan mencari warung, bertemulah dengan seorang bapak penjual kopi yang sedang duduk santai sambil membaca sebuah koran harian nasional. Ah nikmatnya si bapak ini memulai harinya, pikir saya. "White Coffee satu Pak!", maaf mengganggu keasikan bapak sedang baca koran nih. Dengan sigap si bapak berdiri dan membuatkan saya kopi seduh instan dengan gelas plastiknya. Saya menunggu, si bapak menawarkan saya untuk duduk dikursi taman, tempat ia membaca koran tadi. Tak lama, kopipun jadi. Siap disruput bareng rokok yang masih terbakar setengahnya. Perbincangan pagi ini dimulai dengan segelas plastik berisi kopi. Si bapak menanyakan hal biasa; dari mana? Mau kemana? Dan ketika ia melihat kamera yang saya gantungkan dileher, pertanyaanpun makin terasa berbeda. "Mas nya wartawan ya?". Bukan Pak..saya jawab sekenanya sambil melihat wajah sang bapak yang sambil memegang korannya. Yang membuat saya tertegun sejenak adalah dengan umur yg lebih tua, ia sama sekali tidak menggunakan kacamata untuk membaca. Disinilah perbincangan pagi antara kami bermula. Ia pun mulai bercerita tentang kehidupannya tanpa saya menanyakannya lebih dulu. 20tahun-an yang lalu si Bapak yang bernama Mulyono ini mendaratkan kakinya di ibu kota. Beliau asal Pekalongan. Saat ini beliau berumur 80 tahun. Artinya saat ia berumur 60 tahun (kurang lebih) ia mencari pekerjaan lain di Jakarta. Dan menurutnya, ia sendiri tidak tau tujuannya ke Jakarta. Perkejaan yang serabutan membuat ia berpindah pindah tempat tinggal selama di Jakarta. Sementara keluarga yg kemudian menyusul adalah sang Istri. Namun karena desakan ekonomi, sang istri pun meninggalkannya. Di tahun tahun berikutnya ia juga sempat menikah lagi, namun lagi lagi kandas. Lebih memprihatikan adalah ketika saya tanyakan perihal anak anaknya. Ia cuma menjawab, "Anak saya banyak, dan mereka sudah besar pasti sekarang, tapi tidak ada satupun yang saya tau keberadaan mereka". Kenapa tidak pulang kampung saja Pak?, tanya saya. "Orang orang dikampung sudah tidak ada yang kenal saya, keluargapun sudah tidak ada lagi". Biarlah saya disini saja menghabiskan waktu tua saya dengan berjualan Minuman instan dan rokok eceran. Sepertinya beliau lebih nyaman dengan keadaannya sekarang. Percakapan tentang masalah privasi ini tidak saya lanjutkan, karena saya tertarik dengan semangat hidup beliau. Bukan curhatannya. Masih bersepeda keliling Jakarta. Saya tanyakan tentang modal usaha beliau. Sehari ia hanya bermodalkan 50 ribu rupiah untuk beberapa batang rokok dan kopi sachet. Sementara termos air panas dan sepeda adalah pemberian dari seorang pedagang Cina yang membuka usaha nya dibilangan Pasar Baru. Yang kemudian ia belikan sepeda bekas seharga 400 ribu rupiah dan termos seharga 125 ribu rupiah. Ia tidak ngoyo, sehari dagangannya habis hanya dengan berkeliling diseputaran Monas. Penghasilan itu ia sisihkan untuk membayar sewa kamar dan modal dagang hariannya. "Kalo liburan begini rame Mas. Lumayan ada lebih bisa makan pake daging.". Sayapun cuma bisa tersenyum. Lah..Bapak masih kuat mengayuh sepeda dengan jarak agak jauh?. Singkat saja jawabnya “Masih“. Saya terbiasa dengan meminum air putih dipagi hari setelah sholat subuh. Air ini dimasak pada teko yang terbuat dari tanah liat. Baginya itu adalah rahasia nya, kenapa beliau masih kuat. Kamera saya diperhatikannya agak lama. Kemudian ia menyeletuk, "Kamera sekarang kok malah ribet ya..dulu saya memotret dengan film." Ini saya dikasih orang India kamera, tapi ndak jalan. Cari batrenya susah Mas. Sudah saya akali tetep ndak bisa." Kamera yang entah ber merk apa, berwarna silver dan dilengkapi MP3 didalamnya ini, baginya tidak dipakai untuk memotret atau membuat video. Beliau lebih suka mendengarkan lagu lagu lama kesayangan beliau kala menemani nya saat santai membaca koran dan sedang berjualan. Pagi nya di isi dengan membaca koran, dengan rubrik tertentu yang ia suka. Pojok Kompas adalah favoritnya. Menariknya, dengan umur yang sudah 80 tahun. Beliau membaca tidak menggunakan kacamata. Ia masih jelas membaca dengan jarak yang menurut saya normal. Katanya khasiat minum air putih tadi penyebabnya. Sayapun hanya mulai tertegun mendengar cerita cerita singkat pengalamannya selama menjual kopi keliling ini. Sebatang rokok mulai saya nyalakan. Sesekali saya meminta ijin beliau untuk memotret wajahnya dan barang dagangannya. "Itu keranjang sepeda saya baru diganti..harganya 40ribu." Yang dulu sudah rusak..ujar beliau. Kemudian ia lanjutkan dengan membuka lembaran koran dan membaca beberpa artikel pendek. Disinilah saya menanyakan tentang batu cincin yang ia pakai. Dan lagi lagi jawabnya "Gak tau Mas..batu apa. Saya cuma pake aja kok. Biar kelihatan wibawa kayak bapak bapak lainnya." sambil tertawa. Percakapan saya terpotong, ketika seorang *kawan baru saya muncul dan memanggil nama saya. Kami sempat berbincang sejenak sebelum saya lanjutkan perjalanan ke beberapa sudut Jakarta. Setelah bertegur sapa dan basa basi, perhatian saya kembali ke si Bapak. Karena tersadar, ternyata saya belum bayar. Karena saya tau harga segelas plastik kopi tersebut, saya sengaja memberikan uang lebih. Jujur, saya kagum dengan ketabahan beliau menjalani hidup. Ditinggal istri dan anak. Pekerjaan yang serabutan. Tempat tinggal yang berbagi dengan seorang Satpam, dll tidak membuatnya menyerah pada hidup. Kalau boleh saya simpulkan, berserah diri kepada sang Khalik inilah kunci ketabahan beliau. Ya, pagi itu saya mendapatkan lagi pelajaran lain tentang arti hidup. Dan sekali lagi, Fotografi lah yang membawa saya bisa menemui hal hal seperti itu, yang saya tidak menemuinya di sekolah atau universitas. JAKARTA BELUM HABIS Terimakasih Karena * @sgbliss94 & Mr. Henry Ford, cerita ini ada.
