Amungme
Since returning to his hometown, Opitawak, Banti Village, Central Mountains of Jayawijaya, Omabak, youth Amungme seemed changed. He had finished his college in Yogyakarta and later graduated as an elementary school teacher, who would teach in his hometown. It was not only a cleaner appearance by always dressed neatly, but his attitude became more calm and polite, no more emotional and irritable as ever. This change was surprising tribal citizens, especially Impamai his mother, and his brotheer Baenal.
Omabak could not keep a secret much longer to Impamai. He then told about his new faith to Impamai, that he no longer trusted their god, Mam On, but only A God is above all gods, namely: Allah SWT. Apparently Impamai was not surprised to hear Omabak’s confession, because she never caught him doing ritual worship which certainly was not like the way they worship the god Mam On. Originally Impamai worried Omabak wouldl make the god Mam On angry and cursed him. But because Omabak was fine, she was convinced to follow in Omabak’s footsteps as a Muslim. Impamai began to change her life as a cleaner, no longer living mingle with pigs and dogs. Apparently Impamai felt calmer. She also began to learn prayers and love to receive a gifts from Omabak, mukena.
After Impamai, actually Omabak would like to invite Baenal too. But before he could speak, his brother was being harbored his own problems. Baenal loved Nebea, daughter Ondoafi Teknay, their chieftain. But that girl who started growing up and was undergoing the exile according to their tradition of being angry because considered Baenal betrayed by liking another girl, Kamantoi. Though the news was deliberately delivered Sebare, the girl who loved Baenal and paired with him, along with another girl, Werori who faced disability due Nebea harmed. The goal for their revenge on Nebea that during this act cocky and arrogant because they feel as a single daughter of the chief.
By convincing his love toward Nebea, Baenal asked to pick sacred erom in forest of the ban. Yet according to their tribal belief that only men who are married and fulfill certain conditions which may take sacred erom. If the prohibition was violated, the perpetrators would get terrible curse from god Mam On. But the desperate Baenal determined to meet this demand in order to prove his love in Nebea. Nebea herself eventually regret it but could not rectify the request conveyed through Sebare as she was in exile.
While Ondoafi Toknay planned to marry Nebea, after she return from exile with a young man was considered appropriate as head of the tribe. It turned out that the chosen was Omabak, because Ondoafi was impressed with his change attitude after being back from the land of Java and planned to teach elementary school in their area. This decision of course more heartrending Baenal. But Omabak could not openly refuse, then assured him that he would not marry Nebea. He was also willing to help Baenal take sacred erom from forest of the ban with the aim of changing the citizens of tribal beliefs about God's curse that had been Mam On haunt them.
At the time to perform marriage ceremony, Nebea returned from exile, Omabak was not found. Nebea was also looking Baenal and not find him. Only Impamai who knew her two children went to forest to took sacred erom. While their other two companions were waiting for them at the edge of the forest.
Opitawak tantrum when Omabak and Baenal emerged with sacred erom. Ondoafi who searched Omabak deliberately ask Suprimanggun, Opitawak religious leaders, who planned to lead the wedding ceremony to postpone the event, was furious. But Ondoafi was also afraid to see a sacred erom which brought by Omabak safely. He thought he had supernatural powers so Mam On could not curse on him.
Realizing doubt of Ondoafi, Suprimanggun intervened. He was angry and reading spells to attack Omabak. But Omabak was very confident with the help of God, just raised his hand and prayed for protection. As a result, the attack of Suprimanggun had no impact. Suprimanggun then fled, as well as Ondoafi Teknay, All citizens of Opitawak hailed Omabak.
Back to his residence, Ondoafi found Nebea possessed. He accused Omabak who wanted to harm her. Due to ever see the way of treatment to heal the possessed, ruqyah, Omabak also practiced by having Impamai take mukena and put it on Nebea. Actually, Omabak himself was not too sure because Nebea was not yet a Muslim. But ruqyah managed to make Nebea quieter. Omabak was increasingly hailed as successes. Residents Opitawak acknowledge its miracle as a demigod and they bowed down to worship him. It was realized Omabak, his struggle to broadcast the truth of Islam was still be very long and not at all easy as he imagined.

Al-Bahri: I Came From Sea First Book: Lebaran Gift
One day, I was working as a scenario writer in a private TV station, accidentally met Al Bahri, a traveler. At that time his condition was ill so I took him to my house. When conscious, Al Bahri who claimed to come from the ocean, asked me to give the diary he wrote volumes was more severe than I expected, Al Bahri was taken to hospital.
I read the diary Al Bahri vol 1. From here he got to know Al Bahri. His parents were from Aceh. His father died from the conflict in the earth of Veranda of Mecca. His mother who having old pregnant intend to evacuate to Java on a ship. But while giving birth on board, she died. The captain of the ship peal Azan in her baby's ear, gave named the baby boy as Mohammed Al Bahri, and became his adoptive father. Al Bahri grew up on the boat, taken by his adopted father across the sea.
When he was 7 years old, his adopted father left him in land, studying in a pesantren (Islamic boarding school). Ten years later, he left pesantren to fulfill his adopted father’s mandate for exploring, as he has explored ocean. Story of Al Bahri’s travelling was poured in a diary that has been sorted according to theme. He intends to turn them over to his adoptive father as evidence of his travels.
Al Bahri diary vol 1 was a story about his experiences in different cities to celebrate Eid. The first year Lebaran Al Bahri celebrated in Dieng. He was acquainted with Mr. Darmo Kusumo and granddaughter Kartika. Mr. Darmo Kusumo gave him a job. While Kartika, his granddaughter who recently arrived from Jakarta by necessity. Her daddy brought her mother who was diagnosed with cancer to America for treatment.
During the month of fasting, Ramadhan, Kartika who spoiled and accustomed to city life, stayed in the village with boredom. She's lazy worshiping despite his grandfather told her to pray for her mother healing. But at takbiran night, poison gas disaster again threatened villagers. Grandpa told her to flee to Wonosobo, escorted by Al Bahri and Nasuhi. On the way, Al Bahri was down to help her grandfather who tried to rescue villagers who lead by him. But poison gas lodged in the body so that his Mr Darmo Kusumo died.
Kartika was very sad and sorry because more denied her grandfather's advice. She had felt comforted when her parents came to bring good news. Apparently, Mom did not have cancer as first diagnosis. Al Bahri was happy to hear this news.
Al Bahri second year was celebrated with a family who lived in a village, Tanah Abang territory which controlled by the thugs. Al Bahri who had been robbed and beaten a group of thugs to hurt. Rescued by Mr. Darwo, a porter and his wife a vegetable trader. They have 3 children, Nining in senior high school, Iwan, a junior high student, and Tini the youngest.
One day, Al Bahri saved Nining and her boyfriend who surrounded by a group of thugs. Apparently Nining’s boyfriend was one of the thugs who had ganged up and hurt him. He felt ashamed and guilty. But Bahri told him to forget what had happened. The family then decided to leave there, followed transmigration program for searching of a better livelihood.
The third Eid Al Bahri celebrated with a widow who had 2 children, Bu Arum, a seller in traditional market of a small town in South Beach. They passed Lebaran with concern, as the market where they earn a fortune on fire. Asih, the oldest daughter had accused the fire was not an accident, because the government wanted build a modern market there, so the poor traders in the market driven out. She wanted to do a demonstration. Bu Arum forbid her, because her late husband also had lead a demonstration and shot to death because of it.
But ignoring her mother, Asih kept becoming the leader of the demo, and finally picked up the officer. Bu Arum felt worried because Asih was released yet while some of his friends who were free. Asih finally brought home by Matt Brewok who had long loved Asih. This opportunity was he used to proposed Asih to Mrs. Arum. Although she looked beibf forced, Asih accepted the proposal.
Since Al Bahri’s diary was good and useful, I and a publisher planned to turn it into a book as a a Lebaran present to Al Bahri.

Rapuh (Fragile) --- sung by : Opick
detik waktu terus berjalan
second by second of the time went by
berhias gelap dan terang
decorated by dark and light
suka dan duka tangis dan tawa
joy and sorrow, tears and laughter
tergores bagai lukisan
scratched like a painting
seribu mimpi berjuta sepi
a thousand millions of lonely dreams
hadir bagai teman sejati
present as a true friend
di antara lelahnya jiwa
among the tired soul
dalam resah dan air mata
in a restless and tear
kupersembahkan kepadaMu
I dedicate to You
yang terindah dalam hidup
the most beautiful in life
meski ku rapuh dalam langkah
although I was fragile in step
kadang tak setia kepadaMu
sometimes I’m not loyal to YOU
namun cinta dalam jiwa
but love in the soul
hanyalah padaMu
only for THEE
maafkanlah bila hati
Please, forgive if the heart
tak sempurna mencintaiMu
imperfectly love YOU
dalam dadaku harap hanya
but in my chest I hope only You
diriMu yang bertahta
Yourself who reigns
detik waktu terus berlalu
Second by second of the time went by
semua berakhir padaMu
all ends of THEE

Bunda
(Mother)
----- Sung by : Potret
Kubuka album biru
I opened the blue album
Penuh debu dan using
It was fully dusty and obsolete
Kupandangi semua gambar diri
I looked at all of my photoes
Kecil bersih belum ternoda
Small, clean and not yet tarnished
Pikirku pun melayang
My thought float
Dahulu penuh kasih
Formerly my life was full of love
Teringat semua cerita orang
Remembering all those stories
Tentang riwayatku
About my childhood
Kata mereka diriku s’lalu dimanja
They said I was always being spoiled
Kata mereka diriku s’lalu ditimang
They said I always being swung
Nada-nada yang indah
Beautiful tones
S’lalu terurai darimu
Always parsed from you
Tangisan nakal bibirku
naughty tears of my lips
Tak ‘kan jadi deritamu
would not be your pain
Tangan halus dan suci
Delicated and holy hands
T’lah menangkap tubuh ini
Have captured this body
Jiwa raga dan seluruh hidup
Body and soul and entire life
Rela dia berikan
She willingly gave
Kata mereka diriku s’lalu dimanja
They said I was always being spoiled
Kata mereka diriku s’lalu ditimang
They said I always being swung
Oh Bunda ada dan tiada
Oh …. Mother ….. you were here or not
Dirimu ‘kan selalu ada di dalam hatiku
You’re always in my heart
Pikirku pun melayang
My thought float
Dahulu penuh kasih
Formerly my life was full of love
Teringat semua cerita orang
Remembering all those stories
Tentang riwayatku
About my childhood
Kata mereka diriku s’lalu dimanja
They said I was always being spoiled
Kata mereka diriku s’lalu ditimang
They said I always being swung
Oh Bunda ada dan tiada
Oh …. Mother ….. you were here or not
Dirimu ‘kan selalu ada di dalam hatiku…
You’re always in my heart

Sung By Opick/Siti NurhLIZA
Ada tiada rasa dalam jiwa
There is or no sense in the soul
Rindu akan memanggilmu
The longing will call you
Karna setiap jiwa tlah bersumpah setia
Because every soul has sworn
Hanyalah pada Mu
It is only to YOU
Bila cinta ada di dalam jiwa
When love is in the soul
Wangi bunga dunia tanpa nestapa
Fragrant flowers of world would be without sorrowfull
Sgala yang dirasa hanyalah DIA
Every feeling would be HIM
Hatikan memuja hanya padaNya
The heart would praise only Him
Ketika cinta memanggil
When love calls
Gemetar tubuhku
My body shoke
Ketika cinta memanggil
When love calls
Hangatnya nafasku
My breath was so warm
Ketika cinta memanggil
When love calls
Sang rindu
The longing
Ketika cinta memanggil
When love calls
Rindu…rindu…rindu kalbu
Miss ... miss ... the heart misses
memanggil-manggil nama Mu
calling YOUR name
Seperti terbang di langit Mu
As if flying in YOUR sky
tenggelam di lautan cintaMu
drowning in YOUR sea of love
Bertabur kalbu yang rindu
Sprinkled with a longing heart
Melebur menjadi satu
Melt into one
Bagai menari diiringi pelangi
As if dancing accompanied by a rainbow
Ketika cinta memanggil
When love calls

With Your Shadow
What are you doing there, Fan? Are you studying? Or maybe you're remembering your girl in other city, huh? Maybe so. Obviously you're not thinking about me. What for you are thinking of a girl who wasn’t beautiful at all like I was?
Akh, Fan! Maybe I'm a sentimental person. I do not know! Why until now I can not forget you, I will not know! Why I can not forget your innocent face? Why does your voice full of authority always ring in my ears? Why your athletic figure always dancing in my eyes welling? Why?
I'm stupid, you would not answer silly questions like that. I myself just did not know the answers, especially because you did not understand the real problem was. Who I am, maybe you've forgotten. Not like me, I'd never forget you.
Actually, I've been half dead trying to remove your name at the bottom of my heart, but could not. Really! Everything in our school always reminded me of you, how I would be able to forget you? Honestly, I was always surrounded by shadows of your amazing figure.
When I was in the field, I remind of your kelincahan when you was chasing the ball. When my eyes on your class, the shadow of yours in my eyes when you're standing in the doorway, watching the kids playing basketball. Especially when I saw Aji who change you as the Chairman of OSIS, I always remembered you, all his behavior and actions reminded me of you. Not because of anything, because his behavior was like a made-up. He seemed pretentious now. Show-Off, goody-goody, get smart, and cocky everything. He seemed to mimic you. Almost all school events, he was handling. He wanted to show himself. Your activity was only natural, but Aji’s was excessive.
That's why, when I saw him, I remember you. When I saw his behavior was a bit pretentious, my heart always whispers, "You were not so."
For some reason, until now I have never found an interesting guy just like you. To me, you were the only guy who fits with my attitude. All behavior and your character were none contrary to my heart. In my eyes you were no blemish.
Was I wrong, Fan? Am I wrong if I could not forget you until now, forget all the charm, charismatic, symphatic smile, and all that were in you? Was I wrong to always miss you? While you were there and not here anymore.
I wanted to forget about you, but could not. Do I have to leave this school in order to escape from your shadow? Is not that coward? Moreover, I did not want to leave my good buddies.
Let, Fan! Let me stay here with your shadow!
Sayonara, Fan! Learn diligently. Here, my prayers are always said for you. May you always succeed and always cheerful with your ‘goddess’! When dawn began to creep westward, hear my prayer to be sent by wid of night. Sayonara! ***
This is the first of my writing which had published in Hai Magazine No. 26 June 28-July 4, 1988 in Rubric of 'Surat Sahabat' (Companion Letter. I got Rp20.000,- for fee of this writing. It was much enough money at that time, bacause I could treat my best friends having lunch and watching movie, also I could buy a shirt. I felt so rich and happy.

I Carried Your Name In My Prayers
By: Lis Maulina
I brought your name in my prayers...
As darkness crept
Slithering quiet moments
As many creatures asleep
In dreams or madness
I took your name in my prayers...
When flax is not well maintained
We wash the soul in ablution
When hearts wrapped in rukuh
Sink full of hope
I took your name in my prayers...
In order for the angels took them up
Higher up the moon
Places where you reside
In order for remote wind blew them
Crossing the ocean
Climbing mountains
Reaching the hearing
In order for their sincerity
Vibrating your soul
Penetrate the deepest parts
Corner of your heart ...
I brought your name in my prayers ...
Hoping to convey my love for God
Or replace it with His love to me
I brought your name in my prayers ...

Let me breathe for a moment
Sebelum hilang
Before missing
Tak kan selamanya tanganku mendekapmu
It would not forever, my hands were holding you
Tak kan selamanya raga ini menjagamu
It would not forever, my body was taking care of you

At that time he first saw Desi in the bus. They fell in love at first sight.
Rangga and Desi met again when Rangga went to Bandung to find football merchandise. Incidentally, Desi and his two friends were eating at the shop. They met in the locker room, and exchanged the phone no. Since then, they connected and arranged to meet. Desi went to Jakarta with the reason looking for some books. In Jakarta, Desi stayed in Rangga’s place which also the headquarters of Jack Mania. She was escorted by Rangga for going home to Bandung. In Desi's house, Rangga was introduced to her mother and brother, Parman, who was chairman of Viking. When asked if he was Jack Parman Mania, Rangga could not answer. Fortunately, Parman did not recognize him.
However Rangga presence into the region of Viking was not only known by Daisy and her family. Other member of Vikings came to Parman and Soleh who worked at the garage. He said that he saw a Jack Mania Kid who had attacked their bus in Tangerang, wandering in their territories with Daisy. Parman realized who the real Rangga. When Rangga came again to take Daisy home, almost a fight broke out between them. Fortunately, their mother came to arbitrate.
In Jakarta, Rangga also branded as a traitor by some of his friends of Jack Mania. Only a few close friends supported him. But, he remained to see Desi in her campus secretly. He even asked Desi to get married without family permission. Desi agreed. On the appointed day, Daisy slipped from home. Her mother found out, but she blessed Desi, and gave a message to Desi’ Uncle to legitimate her marriage. Finally, Rangga and Daisy married in a simple way, attended by only close friends.
Desi’s disappearance from home made Vikings were deployed to search. Rangga and his friends could hardly go back to Jakarta, but managed to escape though wounded in the circumstances.

Game of Persib vs. Persija held again in Bandung.Taking advantage of this moment, Rangga went to Bandung. His friends were worried about his safety, catched him. Right, knowing there was Jack Mania infiltrated in supporter of Persib Bandung, they rampaged. Daisy tried to prevent, but no avail. So, as well as the story of Romeo-Juliet , the love story of Rangga-Desi also ended tragically.
This film invited controversy, especially from the Jack Mania and Viking. I'm also a fan of soccer. I’m also Indonesian football watcher, and including those concerned with the fanaticism of supporters who do not often invite violence, verbally as well as non-verbal. That's why I prefer to watch a football game on television, because I thought watching in the stadium does not guarantee its security. Although I love watching football game, I still would not be risking my own safety.But I’m never stopped hoping, Indonesian football will be better, both in terms of achievement, professionalism, managerial organization, and supporter’s behaviour.

I liked this series because it tells about basketball. Moreover, my back just to know, actor Chen Feng is a Taiwanese national basketball player. No wonder his acting a bit stiff. Hehehe ... You see I got a bit annoyed, because they feel an actor Chen Feng did not blend with the character he played. Especially in scenes that depict emotions. But if the scene playing basketball, very fitting. So that was it. I then understood.

The Dream of Garuda was prequel of the movie 'Garuda in my chest', which the screenplay was written by Salman Aristo. This novel is the first part of the trilogy, The Dream of Garuda, Garuda in my chest, and Garuda Challenging Sun. Benny Rhamdani is the favorite author of children's story. The language is simple so it is easy to be understood by children. But I like the most is the moral teaching that tucked inside it, about the emotional control, sportsmanship, teamwork, friendship, and courage to pursue dreams. This story match for the players and supporters of football who often could not control their emotions. Hehehe ..

Badminton Freak!
Author: Stephanie Zen
Publisher: PT Gramedia Pustaka Utama Year 2010
THIS is the first Teenlit novel that I bought. I never bought the Teen Lit novel before, because my age has been far from 'teen', although I still love reading teenage stories. This time I decided to buy because the title 'Badminton Freak' and after reading the synopsis of it.
A bit much, I felt having the same story with the characters, Fraya Aloysa Iskandar who fell in love with badminton. The difference is, Fraya had the moment when Ricky / Rexy won gold medals at the Atlanta Olympics in 1996, long before I got the moment, maybe 10 years earlier, when Indonesia won the Thomas Cup and Hastomo Arbi as a hero. I did not mistake, in 1986 (Really old did not it, huh?)
It was exciting and tense at the time. After all, Indonesia missed the first from China after losing Liem Swie King in rubber sets, defeated by Luan Jin. Hastomo Arbi equalized by defeating Han Jian. Then Icuk Sugiarto lost againts Yang Yang. Fortunately, two Indonesian men's doubles partner were great, they could win the games. Whereas the last double, Liem Swie King / Kartono, a new pair because the genuine pair of Kartono, Haryanto, did not play. Indonesia finally won, I was so glad that time.
Nowaday I still like badminton, although I was not as crazy as before, untill collecting all the news about badminton in the newspaper --- especially about my idol Ivanna Lie. Moreover, today Indonesian badminton achievement begins to decline. Fortunately, there are still the couple of Markis Kido / Hendra Setyawan, and some other good players.
This novel is very interesting because several character of badminton players were real, such as Ricky/Rexy, Maria Kristin, Jo Novita, Liliyana Natsir, Simon Santoso, and several other players. Until I thought, Edward and Edgar Satria character were really exists, too.
This story is about a very fond badminton girl, Fraya while her boyfriend, Albert prefers basketball. Because of her love for badminton, Fraya tried really hard to watch the performances Thomas Cup / Uber Cup held in Istora, even she had to lie to Albert who asked her to watch his basketball game by pretending being sick. Consequently, when she caught, Albert angry and punished her by not allowing watch Uber Cup final between Indonesia vs China. Fraya was very upset. Moreover, in following day, Indonesian Thomas Cup team defeated by in the semi-final, and the China remain bringing Uber Cup to their home. Her relationship with Albert was getting worse, and finally broke up.
Fraya’s despondency could make her open to her mother, Mama who she thought didnot approve of her ideals of becoming badminton player. Mama finally understood the seriousness of Fraya and supported her love of badminton, including when Fraya knew a men's doubles badminton player, Edgar Satria, Mama supported her relationship with him. So in the end, despite failing become badminton player, Fraya got a boyfriend of a badminton athletes. Not bad! Rather than me who also aspire to be a badminton player, but also can not be a girlfriend of a badminton athletes.Hehehe ...
I liked all stories which have setting of sports background, whether they were short stories, novels or films. Any kinds of sport, for example football in 'Garuda in my chest', basketball in 'Beat Buzzer' (Japanese series), MVP Lover, Fireball, Bull Fighting (Taiwan series), and baseball in the 'Strike Love' (Korean Series), and Rookies (Japanese Film), and badminton in the film 'King' and the novel 'Badminton Freak'. If there are others else, you may recommend to me, and told where I could get them. There are also providing several other titles, but I have not got them although I had hunt on a kiosk or shop around quite often.
