#Teratai

[aksararis]

Kamu adalah Teratai

Tumbuh, mekar, layu dan mati adalah hal alamiah yang terjadi pada setiap makhluk hidup. Dan kamu, terlalu rumit untuk dimengerti. Terlalu sulit untuk dijelaskan. Bagaimana bisa kamu berasal dari tempat yang penuh dengan lumpur?

Hidup di tengah kolam dengan lumpur yang menjadi persoalan hidup. Tumbuh dengan baik ternyata bukan hal yang tidak mungkin. Mekar dengan cantik ternyata bukan sebuah keniscayaan. Kamu bisa membuktikan bahwa asal tidak memengaruhi bagaimana kamu harus hidup. Karena sadar menjadi bagian penting dari hidupmu.

Sadar bahwa hidup dengan penuh kesadaran itu penting. Lumpur itu kotor, dan menjauh pun bukan hal yang mudah. Bahkan nyaris tidak mungkin. Tidak ada kolam yang tidak didasari dengan lumpur. Tapi kamu tumbuh dengan baik. Berkembang dengan baik tanpa terkotori sedikit pun.

Mengerti bahwa hidup tanpa keinginan itu tidak mungkin. Tapi hidup dengan sadar memungkinkan untuk tidak terlibat dengan masalah. Atau membuat masalah itu sendiri.

Tak apa jika ingin menangis. Aku tau melewati lumpur itu amat berat. Tak apa jika tertatih dalam proses. Aku tau tenggelam begitu lama bisa membuatmu busuk. Tak apa, karena sekarang kamu telah mencapai permukaan air. Tidak menguncup, tapi mekar sempurna.

Terima kasih telah berjuang selama ini. Terima kasih karena telah mekar dengan indah.

2. bark

“Sarani, you must take more care with the bark. If it is too thick, it will not steep properly into tea.”

Twenty year old Marzanna Kimbatuul heaved a sigh, trying to blow an errant curl out of her face as she slowly scraped her knife over the trunk of an Othardian plum tree. “Mama, it’s Marz now, you know that. I’m not a baby anymore.”

“So you say, and so the clan recognizes, but so too shall you always be my Sarani, my moonlight, no matter where you go or what strange, foreign names you take for yourself.” There was a gentle note of teasing in her voice, at Marz’s whim of taking the name of a Hrothgar trader’s lost daughter as her adult name, but it was mostly just warm and fond. Embarrassing, really, but Marz grinned as she shimmied down the tree, her pouch full of perfectly adequately thin plum bark.

“Okay, okay, fine. Just try not to do it where other people can hear, alright? It’s hard enough as it is to get some of the others to take me seriously.” To certain other members of the tribe, she’d always be little Sarani Kimbatuul, whose best friend was a fish, no matter how many Imperials she drowned in Nagxia’s waters.

The older woman, her scales beginning to encroach on the laugh lines beside her eyes, folded her arms and regarded her only daughter with expectation. “Very well then, Marzanna, tell me three uses for that bark.”

“Trick question, mama. There’s only two. To strengthen the lungs when breath grows short, and to treat scale rot.” Marz tossed her mother the pouch, who caught it deftly, tucking it into her belt alongside all manner of other herbs and things.

“Wrong. It’s also delightful with a bit of honey.”

Marz rolled her eyes with a laugh as her mother opened a small, dog-eared journal, filled with sketches of various plants and descriptions of their uses, written in tidy Doman script. Not all the xaela of their clan were literate, but Teratai Kimbatuul was alchemist, midwife, and healer to a tribe that only birthed a magic user once a generation, her herb journal and the knowledge it contained one of the clan’s greatest treasures.

Someday it would be Marz’s, even if she felt her hands were better suited to spear and bow, and she only hoped she would be worthy of it when the time came.

--

A thin journal lay face down in the sand, the edges of the pages bloodied by the hand that still clutched it, even after it had grown cold. The pages devoted to Othardian plum bark were lost to the elements.

suka banget sama quotes ini:

“berbahagialah dengan kepribadianmu, jangan pernah merubah dirimu hanya untuk memuaskan dan menyenangkan orang lain. jika kamu terlahir sebagai bunga teratai maka jadilah bunga teratai yg indah, jangan mencoba untuk menjadi bunga melati. untuk disukai bukan berarti harus merubah diri menjadi orang lain, tetaplah menjadi versi dirimu. kamu hanya perlu memahami diri sndri, menerima diri sendiri, karena disitulah, letaknya kedamaian dan kebahagiaan sejati.

i love this photo so much. both are champions in their own respective schools. both are menaces. one is a sweet bean who can turn into a ruthless trainer in battles. one is a silly charmer who can become a magnificent terror when faced in battles. they take battles seriously. they command their pokemon so well. both teratai and kieran have respective legendaries (teratai with koraidon n ogerpon; kieran with terapagos). they rarely use them in battles but they dont need to. fighting them alone is hell. fighting them in double battles? magnificent show of their opponents lost.

they work so well together in battles and outside of it? theyre the sweetest couple ever. teratai usually flirts with kieran and gives cute flying kisses to him so easily and its a joy to see him fluster. kieran loves being so close to teratai like holding her hand or hugging her that teratai just wants to melt in bliss. they can only see kieran being the sweetest darling when hes with teratai. they can only see teratai being the most romantic person when its to kieran. one cant believe theyre terrifying to begin with.

they are close friends and lovers who genuinely love each other. and are slightly obssessed with each other.

“Dan segala sesuatu Kami ciptakan berpasang-pasangan agar kamu mengingat (kebesaran Allah).” QS. Az-Zariyat : 49

Mentari perlahan men jingga dengan sekotak kertas beraroma vanila menjadi teman uraian perasaan ku diatasnya.Mencoba mengotori putih bersih permukaannya, aku menceritakan sebuah kisah padanya.

Ba’da Ashar, sekumpulan burung bangau tampak mencari peruntungannya di bibir pantai. Kumpulan yang indah itu mengharapkan seekor ikan yang malang melintas di sekitar burung bangau. Beberapa menit kemudian, salah satu burung bangau memisahkan diri dari kawanan dan sedikit menjauh mencari mangsanya. Lalu salah satunya lagi, mengikuti burung bangau yang pergi tersebut.

Aku yang sedari tadi duduk sambil mendengarkan lirik yang Michael Buble ucapkan pada lagu yang berjudul “Home” itu menemani perhatian ku pada kedua bangau yang memisahkan diri tersebut. Kedua bangau itu, tidak saling meninggalkan saat para kawanan sudah berpindah ke bibir pantai yang lain.

Aku masih disana, memperhatikan bangau-bangau itu. Lalu seketika ia terbang beriringan dan menjauh lagi dari sana, entah kemana mereka pergi. Aku kembali berfokus pada kertas yang akan ku isi dengan uraian kisah.

Aku mulai menulis tentang dia,

Dari Rindu Seberang Sungai, kuhantarkan kerinduanku pada angin dan juga awan agar disampaikan padanya yang mengetahui segala isi hati hambanya.

"Ya Allah, hari ini aku tidak begitu baik, pikiran ku terbawa pada sebuah fase dimana aku yang masih ragu pada kemampuanku. Hari ini, aku hanya membolak balikan buku dan langkah-langkah ku. Entah seperti ingin mengutarakan sesuatu namun aku belum berkuasa untuk hal itu. Apakah aku benar ingin atau hanya sekedar bermain-main? Apakah aku seharusnya berkeinginan untuk itu atau tidak seharusnya?"

"Ya Allah Yang Maha Mengetahui dan yang berkuasa atas membolak balikan hati seseorang, aku menyukainya namun bukan lagi untuk bermain peran dan bersandiwara sebagai kekasih yang baik. Aku menyimpannya dalam hati dan do'a agar kelak dipertemukan dengan keinginan yang sama yakni membangun bahtera rumah tangga. Apakah aku pantas, Ya Allah?"

"Kau Maha Tahu apa yang tak ku ketahui, bagiku dia seperti matahari, menggelapkan pandangan namun menerangi kehidupan. Sedangkan aku, hanya seperti teratai yang terus mengapung dan terkadang berbunga dengan sangat indah terkadang pula hanya kuncup lalu patah. Dan apakah Teratai bisa menyentuh matahari sejenak?"

Selembar kertas lainnya ku tuliskan lagi pertanyaan hatiku.

"Atau biarkan aku terus bersamanya meski dalam kekeringan ataupun kebanjiran, dalam keheningan ataupun keramaian, dalam kegemilangan ataupun keterpurukan. Bisakah Ya Allah? meski aku harus terbakar olehnya, izinkan sekejap saja untuk menatapnya lebih lama tanpa menggelapkan pandangan ku."

"Ya Allah, aku memohon restu mu. Aku mengikrarkan bahwa aku akan Mengkhitbah Matahari meski aku akan lenyap jika berdekatan dengannya. Namun harapanku hanya satu, hidup selamanya bersamanya."

Ponselku berdering, sebuah panggilan masuk dari Ibu ku.

“Assalamualaykum, Mak. Aku punya kabar baik. Berilah restu pada anakmu ini untuk mengkhitbah salah satu cahaya yang dijaga oleh Allah.”

"Apakah itu, Nak?"

"Apa seharusnya aku menikah? atau terus melanglang buana?”

“Baiklah, namun restui aku pada matahari yang terik esok hari, Mak. Assalamualaykum.”

“Kalau menurut mamak, mending pulang dan tetapkan hatimu disini. Wa’alaykumsalam.”

Aku kembali mengambil selembar kertas beraroma vanila lagi dan ku tuliskan kalimat,

"Izinkan aku mengkhitbah mu."

Selepas menyaksikan bangau-bangau yang menuntun ku pada sebuah pikiran cemerlang, adzan Maghrib pun terdengar.

who is shabira?

!!!!!! Shabira is part of the (blog canon!) future-plotting me and @/dolhood have done:

Shabira is a girl from Singapore. Her parents, Teratai and Jebat, were a young, newly married couple who opened shop in the wharf-town where the pirates were known to gather and do business. (Why there? ... I wobble on, but it stands to reason they were somewhat outcast, or breaking free of circumstances they didn't enjoy.) They quickly became close contacts of Elizabeth's, working with her to manage the re-sellable goods that came in off the ships of her fleet and waters. Growing up, Henry was left with them a few times, when he was younger and Elizabeth needed him looked after for one reason or another, so the families became close. Allies, but also friends. This, naturally, leads to Teratai and Jebat's shop becoming a regular landing place for Henry and Carina once they set out on their own.

Enter- Shabira! She is born in this era, closely post-canon, when Henry & Carina are newly set out to explore the world. So Bira grows up knowing Henry & Rina all her life, coming with the wind and tide to stay awhile -seemingly, by her perspective, just to see her!- and they get to watch her go from wiggly little bean to a brilliant kid. And probably Henry teaches her at least one really horrible trick she absolutely should not have been taught, but what can you do.

Some a few years into this general state of things, Shabira's parents are killed. I have a couple concepts of the who and why but nothing concrete, right now, but. Bira's parents (and many of their neighbors, the community of the town at large) die, and... either she was already with Henry & Carina for some reason, or when they get there they finds her, but either way she really just. Latches on. They're the last people she really knows.

Initially Henry & Carina plan to find her other family. She's got an uncle and cousins -her father's family- in theory, but finding them proves to be a nightmare endeavor. And you know, days turn to weeks. A couple months. They, admittedly, kind of stop looking. And it gets to a point where it seems more cruel than anything else to send her away to a new place nothing like the life she's known where she'd have to start all over with nothing and no one familiar. (Which is ...debatable, in terms of if it was the "right" thing to do, and really kids are generally very adaptable and she probably would have been fine if they committed and sent her to live elsewhere, but it comes from a place of love and good intentions (and also Henry's inability to let go.)) Bira, who has always been dear to them, really just gets... shuffled into the strange little family of the Lighthouse Island. And this is really what shifts gears for Henry & Carina, pulling them from their wilds and grounding them a little more firmly to Shipwreck. Transitioning event from arc iv. -> arc v. (so if you write with me in Henry's Shipwreck-bound verse, Bira is there!)

Primarily, Rina & Henry look after her. And it settles into... they both are, and aren't, her parents? She had parents, and she remembers them, and Henry & Carina do all they can to keep Shabira's memory of her parents alive and maintain that tie to who she is. And also, that's her parents. That's her family, anyway. She's known them all her life and Henry was always her favorite for silly games and Carina understands completely what it means to be a little girl who got left behind and they just. Cling to each other. Family!!

And all of this prompts Henry & Carina to kind of realize.. family. And settling a bit (not all the way, they're all still pirates living among pirates on untamed seas!) actually sounds... Nice. And wouldn't you know it before very long at all Bira has a (yet unnamed, we're working on it) little sister--

uhhh additional details I know but didn't make it into the paragraphs:

Bira & her mother, Teratai, were born in Singapore, but Bira's father, Jebat, moved there as a young man; this is why they're so cut off from her only other (living) family

Bira is around 5 or maybe 6 years old when her parents die

She is a little bit shy. She might outgrow it, who can say! but she's a little bit shy and quiet, it takes her a little time to open up

a natural bookworm, who spends a lot of time in the company of grownups, and her language skills are crazy impressive
