RUN THE WATER IS COMING


RUN THE WATER IS COMING


T
here is this shout that still keeps ringing in my ears : “RUN THE WATER’S IS COMING!”

Sunday morning began hotter than usual. The sun was really bright at just 7:50 a.m. At home I was enjoying my coffe and reading the local dialy,Serambi Indonesia. Sunday is when young poeple head for Ulee Lhee beach,only five kilometers from the town. After swimming they would usualy have a picnic on the beach with food from home.
Suddenly my newspaper shook in my hands. The shaking became increasingly stronger. I ran out of the house with my two younger siblings. We shouted His name – La illaha illallah (There is no God but Allah). The quake got stronger and we clutched on to one another. Water in the gutters shook and spilled over.
The shouts grew louder amid the sound of a tree cracking,ready to crash. Neighbours hugged one another, some crying. This lasted for several minutes. It left cracked walls and pale faces. No one went into their homes. We live about six kilometers from the beach.
Half an hour later another quake occurred and everyone was hysterical, thought it was of a lesser strenght. I felt very worried. Quakes are common in Aceh but not like the first one.

KOLAK PISANG BUAT KAK LUPUS

Bulan puasa adalah bulan suci.Bulan yang penuh berkah.Tak bisa dipungkiri bahwa pada bulan-bulan seperti ini, kelesuan hampir menjalari wajah-wajah siswa SMA Merah Putih.Bisa dibayangkan,betapa sulitnya berkonsentrasi pada pelajaran sementara perut mereka asyik ber-‘keroncong ria’.
Tapi kata Wak Haji,kalau puasa itu nggak boleh dipikirin laparnya.Dosa,dan bisa dituduh enggak rela puasa sama Tuhan.Dan berpuasa bukan Cuma menahan lapar dan haus.Tapi juga nafsu lainnya,termasuk ngomongin orang lain.Nah,ini yang kayaknya berat buat mereka.Bayangin aja,sebulan penuh ngggak boleh nggosip di sekolah.Wu,mana tahan?
Tapi itu tetap peraturan.Buktinya di pojokan perpustakaan,Ruri masih menyempatkan diri untuk nggosip sama teman-temannya.Lupus yang lagi asik nyari buku dekat-dekat situ,bisa memergoki.
“Hayo,mulai ya nggosip lagi!”
Ruri kaget,tapi dengan cepat ia menjawab pertanyaan Lupus walu sedikit rasa malu.Lupus sering tidak bisa menahan senyum kalau ingat hal itu.Seperti sekarang,secara nggak sadar,dia tersenyum-senyum sendirian di metro mini.Di depan ada cewek cakep.Dan,oh God,cewek itu membalas senyum nyasar dari Lupus.Gimana nggak ge-er?
“Halo,”sapa Lupus berani.”Mau kemana?” Gadis itu tersenyum lagi.Senyum yang penuh godaan.”Ke blok M,nih.Mau shopping.Anterin,yuk?”
Lupus agak kaget.Agresif banget cewek ini.Dan tanpa menunggu ajakan yang kedua,beberapa saat kemudian,Lupus telah berjalan keliling-keliling Blok M berduaan dengan cewek tadi.Dari situ dia tahu,namanya Evan.Banyak sekali yang dibelinya.Seluruh Blok M dikelilinginya.
Jam tiga siang mereka berhenti di depan A-Ha.Evan mengajak masuk.Lupus jelas menolak,meski dia merasa sangat lapar dan haus.
Eva merayu dan merajuk Lupus untuk menemaninya makan.Setelah cukup lama Eva merayu,dan jebollah pertahanan Lupus.Lupus masuk dengan rasa ragu-ragu.Setelah memastikan tidak ada orang mengenalinya,Lupus pun masuk dan memesan beberapa makanan.
