#Walmiki

[trendingnews19]

Skipper Sumit Walmiki and Australian Tim Brand walked to the dugout, shared a laugh and high-fived after Hyderabad Toofans’ practice. Nearby, an awe-struck Amandeep Lakra was listening with rapt attention to Gonzalo Peillat as Germany’s drag-flick legend gave the Indian youngster tips to take penalty corners (PC). Maninder Singh, Victor Wegnez and Vivek Sagar Prasad. The scenes were reminiscent of the Hockey India League (HIL) that folded due to financial issues after five seasons in 2017. Then too, Indian players played alongside the finest in the world, sharing the dressing room with legends like Moritz Furste, Jamie Dwyer and Mark Knowles. While the eight-team league has retained its cosmopolitan nature in its revamped avatar, there are marked changes too that are noticeable for someone who has witnessed both versions. Even though Sumit isn’t fluent in English, the two-time Olympic medallist doesn’t hesitate to interact with overseas players, something that wasn’t the case earlier. German legend Furste said that it took them weeks to even have a basic conversation with some Indians “because they were shy”. “Things have changed a lot. Earlier, we were timid. Now, we seniors encourage the juniors to talk to overseas players. If there is any need of translation, those who can communicate in English, translate,” says Sumit, who had played three seasons in HIL earlier. “I also don’t know English much, but I explain to foreigners in whatever broken English I know. Most importantly, hockey language is the same, right? They understand everything. If there is any team activity, we encourage the juniors to talk. It boosts their confidence.” Tokyo Olympics bronze medallist Surender Kumar, who plays for UP Rudras, concurs. “It has changed a lot. When we used to play earlier, Indians used to be quiet. It was a matter of confidence and not knowing English too,” said the defender. The change in attitude largely has to do with the rise of India’s stature in global hockey. With two successive Olympic bronze medals – the only team to medal in the last two Games – the fear of playing with or against foreigners, or the anxiety of not being able to deliver to the highest level, has vanished. India exemplified that at the Olympics with skipper Harmanpreet Singh emerging the top-scorer of the Games with 10 goals. In the feisty quarter-final against Great Britain, a traditional rival, India gave it back to the Brits verbally and physically to win, despite being a man down. The HIL auction was perhaps the best example of the change. In the earlier HIL, the highest bids were always for foreign internationals. This time around, eight of the top 10 buys were Indians. “There has been a lot of improvement. Our confidence has increased exponentially because we won back-to-back Olympic hockey medals,” adds Surender. “Now, we discuss the game, what kind of practice they do, how long their sessions are. They are interested in knowing about us too.” Visit the players’ village and one can see Indian and overseas players hanging out together. While some Indians took overseas hockey stars to places of worship, others play cricket with them during their off time; some ventured out to local tea shops for chai sessions. “For the last 4-5 years, the Indian team has grown in stature. Now, there’s no fear. We’re both mentally and physically strong. Also, our English-speaking skills have improved with time. We try to understand their culture while they try to comprehend ours,” says Paris Olympics bronze medallist Jarmanpreet Singh, who is playing for Delhi SG pipers. Arjun Lalage is perhaps the best example of a youngster who is not afraid to reach out to foreign teammates like Tomas Domene, Delhi SG Pipers skipper Jake Whetton or Gareth Furlong. Despite being only one international match old, the 21-year-old is making the most of the opportunity. “It was my dream to play in HIL since childhood. I used to watch the tournament when I was a kid. I never thought I would be playing HIL one day with the best in the world. Now that I have got a chance, I am getting to know them as much as I can, trying to learn from them. I am very comfortable in spending time with them,” says the striker. “I have learnt from their mindset, which is very strong. Whatever happens in a match, their thought process remains the same. They don’t take tension, which is not the case with us. In India, we get nervous when we lose, at least at the level where I have played. This exposure and experience will increase my confidence.” Tamil Nadu Dragons skipper Amit Rohidas has taken the conversations even further by teaching his foreign teammates Hindi as well as Odia. “We understand their language, but I have to teach them basics of our languages. If they don’t understand, it will be difficult for them as they are staying with us for one-and-a-half-months. But they are learning quickly,” laughs the first rusher.

Devindar Walmiki was yearning to return to India, but had no real plans as such. Stuck in the Netherlands to play their hockey league—which was suspended in March—for premier division club HGC since February, Walmiki did not mind being in a country with more safety and relaxations than India at present.

However, a personal family issue forced him to change his mind and come back home,…

Surat Hanoman kepada Sinta

Perang telah usai, Sinta. Kerinduanmu kepada Rama sudah waktunya diobati. Kembalinya engkau ke Ayodya bersama Rama, kukira sudah akhir dari semua cerita. Kau merdeka dari cengkeraman Rahwana. Dan, aku, Hanoman, sudah tidak ada keperluan dan kepentingan lagi di Ayodya. Kutinggalkan kota yang ramai itu untuk menyepi di gunung, untuk menjadi petapa.

Lalu kau mengirim surat kepadaku tentang nasibmu setelah perang usai. Aku bergetar ikut marah membaca suratmu, karena kau harus membuktikan kesucian cintamu dengan membakar diri ke api penyucian. Aku lega karena Dewi Agni dan Dewa Brahma menyelamatkanmu dari api. Karena engkau menjadi perempuan yang teraniaya.

Maaf, Sinta. Aku telah keliru. Kukira perang ini sudah selesai dengan menangnya Rama dan dapat memboyongmu kembali. Aku pun merenung. Mempertanyakan untuk apa perang antara pasukan kera dengan pasukan raksasa dari Ngalengka? Kutahu akhirnya Gunawan Wibisana menjadi raja di Ngalengka. Sinta, apakah kau berpikir sama denganku? Bahwa perang ini adalah perang untuk membuktikan siapa yang lebih kuat untuk menaklukkan negara lain?

Lalu aku ini berperang untuk apa dan siapa sebenarnya? Jika yang kuperjuangan, akhirnya disengsarakan. Kurasa perang ini sia-sia saja, Sinta. Aku menyesal ikut perang.

Sinta, Sinta. Kutahu dari suratmu pula, rakyat Rama tidak mempercayaimu, juga kepada rajanya. Bahkan kekasihmu itu lebih mendengarkan kawulanya, daripada engkau orang terkasihnya. Kau pun diantar Laksamana dalam keadaan hamil tua ke hutan lagi. Mereka menganggap bayi yang sedang kau kandung itu sebagai anak haram. Oh, Sinta, apa kau tak ingin menyusulku ke sini saja? Ah, mungkin karena kau hamil, kau tak kuat naik gunung, ya?

Kau juga mengabari bahwa anakmu lahir kembar, Kusa dan Lawa. Resi Walmiki juga akhirnya mengubah Ramayana dan menciptakan nyanyian “Ramachandra”. Sedangkan anak-anakmu menjadi trubadur ulung yang menceritakan tentang kesaktian ayahnya dan kesucian dirimu. Hingga Rama juga tahu bahwa mereka anak-anaknya. Tapi ayahnya terlambat tahu.

Seminggu setelah kau kirim surat, kudengar kau memilih moksa dipeluk Dewi Pertiwi, Sinta. Angslup ke dalam bumi. Mengapa kau tak memilih hidup saja Sinta, demi anak-anakmu? Mendidik mereka agar tidak seperti ayahnya. Daripada mereka harus menjadi yatim saat masih bocah, mereka kehilangan kasih sayang seorang ibu. Mereka hanya korban, Sinta.

Ah, Sinta. Aku juga mempertanyakan kepada pengripta (penulis) Ramayana. Mengapa meletakkan perempuan dalam keadaan terbuang dan diragukan keberadaannya? Apakah pujangga tersebut punya dendam kesumat kepada perempuan? Atau menganggap bahwa kesetiaan itu harus dibuktikan dengan api? Ya, api kesucian.

Dari kisahmu, aku belajar bahwa perang itu hanya sia-sia belaka. Pengorbanan akan darah-darah pengorbanan itu tak pernah ternilai.

Aku masih hidup, Sinta, seusai kisah Ramayana. Hidup hingga cerita Mahabharata. Pujangga Jawa-lah yang menghidupkanku. Hanya saja, aku menolak ikut perang dalam kurusetra antara Pandawa dan Kurawa. Aku sudah kecewa dengan perang antara Rama dan Rahwana. Aku kapok ikut perang, membela salah satu pihak untuk memenangkannya. Jika akhirnya kisahnya sepertimu, Sinta.

Bahkan di Mahabharata aku tahu ada perempuan yang dijadikan taruhan dadu, Sinta. Drupadi namanya. Bahkan pada kekalahan Pandawa, Drupadi dipersembahkan karena harta mereka sudah habis. Ia dipermalukan di balairung perjudian oleh Dursasana, adik Dauryudana. Dursasana ingin menelanjangi Drupadi dengan melucuti pakaiannya. Hanya saja, tiba-tiba kainnya menjadi penutup maha panjang dan berlapis-lapis, hingga Dursasana kewalahan.

Hingga akhirnya Drupadi bersumpah tidak akan keramas sampai darah Dursasana akan dijadikan sampo olehnya. Bima pun yang mewujudkan sumpah Drupadi dengan membunuh Dursasana dan darahnya dipersembahkan ke Drupadi.

Aku curiga, Sinta. Jangan-jangan pengripta Ramayana dan Mahabharata ini saling kenal, sehingga pemikiran mereka hampir mirip dalam memosisikan perempuan? Meski di sini Drupadi lebih beruntung dari engkau. Tapi Drupadi juga tidak bisa menolak ketika dijadikan taruhan, ia tak punya digdaya. Pada akhirnya dia diselamatkan oleh kain yang tak ingin lepas dari empunya.

Aku juga tahu, Sinta. Pada akhirnya kalian punya keberanian untuk melindungi harga diri kalian. Engkau dengan memilih moksa daripada menerima Rama kembali yang telah membuangmu. Dan Drupadi dengan sumpahnya ingin menjadikan darah Dursasana untuk mengeramasi rambutnya.

Sinta, Sinta. Jika dalam Ramayana, adik-adik Rahwana harus menjadi korban atas keegoisan sang kakak, kecuali Gunawan Wibisana. Maka di Mahabharata ini anak-anak Pandawa dijadikan korban untuk kemenangan ayah-ayah mereka. Lalu apa gunanya mereka menang dan menikmati singgasana tanpa keturunan? Siapa pewaris tahta mereka selanjutnya?

Aku mengawasi mereka hanya dari gunung tempatku bertapa, Sinta. Menyesali mengapa harus perang menjadi salah satu tujuan pengakuan diri untuk menang?

Pada akhirnya, kita hanyalah wayang yang hanya manut kersane dhalang. Atau manut kersane pujangga yang menulis nama kita dalam kitabnya. Kita sudah digariskan menjalani lakon-lakon kita, Sinta. Atau kita menjadi pujangga saja untuk menuliskan kisah yang kita inginkan, Sinta?

Kau telah dahulu merdeka, di surga sana. Sudah lepas dari belenggu dan pesona Rama. Tunggu saja aku di surga, ya Sinta. Aku masih belum ingin mati sekarang.

Lama sekali tak mendengar kisahmu, Rahwana. Satu tahun lalu, di mata kuliah Sastra Jawa, namamu masih sering dilantunkan oleh dosenku. Bangun pagi, gosok gigi, didongengkan Ramayana versi Walmiki.

Tapi, Rahwana. Dulu aku tak benar-benar menganggapmu ada. Ya, manusia hanya suka bagian yang membuatnya bahagia. Rama dan Sinta. Sepasang kekasih yang terpisah karena angkara. Yang pada akhirnya membuat masing-masing merana karena krisis percaya. Bukankah begitu, Rahwana? Dulu aku kira kau penyebabnya.

Andai benar kau penyebabnya, tak apa. Sekarang aku mengerti. Bukankah hidup hanya tentang dari sudut mana kita memandang?

Ketika dosenku bercerita tentang kisah kasih Rama dan Shinta, aku tak pernah memikirkan bagaimana perasaanmu. Entah, eksistensimu dan adik-adikmu saja aku tak peduli.

Hingga suatu waktu, usiaku bertambah. Masa hidupku berkurang. Aku dipaksa mengetahui bahwa hidup bukan tentang kebahagiaan. Hidup bukan saja tentang satu sudut pandang. Aku dipaksa mengerti, ketika di satu sisi ada bahagia tercipta, di sisi lain Tuhan lengkapi penciptaannya dengan derita.

Dari sana aku mulai mengenali sosokmu. Apa sebab kau mengutus kijang kencana untuk mengecoh Rama agar kau dapat mengajak Shinta berkelana sampai ke Alengka. Semata-mata karena cinta, bukan? Dan tak ada yang salah dari pecinta. Kau hanya memperjuangkan cinta, yang setiap orang berhak berjuang atas namanya. Perkara salah atau benar, terlambat atau tidak, aku rasa, orang yang sedang jatuh cinta, tidak akan pernah mempedulikannya.

"Aku tak akan menyentuhmu, sebelum kau jatuh cinta padaku", ucapmu pada Shinta. Tapi Rahwana, sayang sekali, Shinta tetap pada pendiriannya. Shinta mencinta Rama seperti kau mati-matian mencintainya.

Andai aku menjadi salah satu adikmu, aku adalah Wibisana. Duduk termenung menghadap senja. Mungkin sambil minum kopi susu keluarga dari family mart, atau kopi kenangan. Sembari mempersiapkan hasil renungan untuk diposting ke sosial media dengan dalih pengingat semesta.

Tak seperti Kumbakarna dan Sarpakenaka yang terkenal meledak-ledak, aku cenderung diam dan mungkin... Memihak. Memihak pada kisahmu dan Shinta.
