Princess Yuna

Seandainya aku bisa memilih takdirku aku tak ingin hal seperti ini menimpaku. Penyesalan selalu datang belakangan. Nenek telah melakukan perjanjian pernikahan antara aku dan cucu calon suaminya bertahun silam. Saat itu ia berjanji akan menikahkan anaknya dengan anak adik calon kakekku saat ia sekarat dalam pangkuannya diantara hujan peluru dan gerimis yang berduka atas pembantaian manusia saat itu. Sayangnya setelah berpuluh tahun berlalu dalam kedua keluarga tak terlahir sepasang manusia. Saat itu kedua keluarga selalu melahirkan anak anak yang berjenis kelamin sama. Era saat ini terlahir sepasang manusia dari dua keluarga dan penantian nenek buyutku itu terbayarkan. Ia menetapkan pertunangan antara aku dan Ahi Sasongko sejak aku berusia lima tahun. Ahi seorang pemuda yang tak pernah kulihat itu seingatku adalah pemuda yang cemerlang dan memiliki kekayaan yang fantastis. Namun sayangnya ia seolah alergi terhadap pemberitaan, namanya sering muncul di media masa namun wajahnya selalu disamarkan. Kehidupanku sejak pertunangan itu menjadi terkekang, aturan ketat diberlakukan bagiku, bagaimana aku bersikap, cara pertemanan, dan yang paling menyebalkan adalah aku tak boleh akrab dengan laki laki. Ingatan itu melayang layang di pikiranku, saat kematian itu menjelang rasa sakit tak lagi menggangguku. Tubuhku menjadi kaku, tubuh yang dikaruniai Allah ini banjir darah karena luka tusukan pisau yang bertubi tubi. Aku tak mengira bila perilakuku yang menolak semua aturan yang telah kutaati sejak kecil akan berakhir dengan tutupnya usia diusia delapan belas tahun. Astagfirullah!!! setan seperti apa yang telah merasuki tubuh sahabat akrabku??? teganya ia menjebakku!. Hanya karena cintanya tak terbalaskan....ambisinya untuk menjadi nyonya Ahi Sasongko ia telah bertahun lamanya mengincarku. Sarwenda, betapa memalukannya dirimu! Seandainya Allah memberkatiku dengan kehidupan kedua aku akan berusaha yang terbaik bagi hidupku. Aku akan menjalani hidup yang diberikan Allah secara bermanfaat. Ya, Robb ku yang Maha Agung, Terkuasa diatas segala kuasa berikanlah restuMu agar aku bisa membenahi kehidupan yang kau berikan. Aku benar benar menyesal Ya Allah. Saat Yuna menyesali akhir hidupnya selarik cahaya menerpanya dan ia merasa tubuhnya menggigil, rasa sakit yang hebat mengiringi suhu dingin,Baa sebuah suara memanggil namanya. "Yuna...! Yuna ... putri Yuna... bangunlah nak". Seorang gadis tergeletak di atas batu hitam dipinggiran sungai. Tubuhnya membiru, ada beberapa luka tusukan belati ditubuhnya. Seorang lelaki duduk bersila disampingnya. Yuna adalah namaku Putri Yuna Nevada, nama pemberian nenek buyut yang begitu bahagia telah mendapat seorang pewaris perempuan yang berbeda jenis kelamin dengan cucu calon adik iparnya bertahun silam. Ia berkata kelahiranku akan menjadi jalannya untuk segera menghadap Yang Kuasa karena hutang janjinya dapat terbayarkan. Aku kadang diolok oleh kawan kawan dengan panggilan Princess Yuna. Menurutku panggilan itu tidak melecehkan jadi kuterima saja mereka memanggilku Princess Yuna. "What is in a name" kalimat itu cukup memotivasi ku untuk tidak tersinggung. " Buka matamu Yuna...kau harus bangun jangan kau turuti keinginan untuk tidur atau sia sia usahaku menolongku, mengangkat tubuhmu yang berat dari arus sungai yang deras dimalam dingin dan pekat seperti ini" suara itu terdengar kembali, Yuna mencoba membuka matanya, kalau ia ingin memperbaiki hidupnya ia harus hidup. Ia membuka matanya perlahan. Seorang lelaki berusia setengah abad menyambutnya dengan senyuman. "Akhirnya ' putri' tercinta ini bangun juga" ia mengelus jenggotnya yang mulai memutih. "Dimana aku?" Yuna memandang sekitarnya, ada hamparan batu hitam, suara riak air dan hembusan angin serta seorang lelaki berpakaian hitam dengan jenggot kelabu. Cahaya bulan menyinari tempat ia berada. " Katakan bapak apakah....aku sudah mati?' tanyanya ragu. Lelaki itu tersenyum. " Ya, kamu sekarang ada di neraka dan aku malaikat yang akan menghukummu ....."

BAWANG MERAH DAN BAWANG PUTIH

Telah terbayang dalam benaknya betapa banyak perhiasan, intan, dan permata yang akan ia miliki. Sang Ibu Tiri pun dengan gembira menyambut kepulangan putri kesayangannya itu. Tak sabar lagi mereka berdua memecahkan labu besar itu. Akan tetapi apakah yang terjadi? Bukannya perhiasan yang didapat, dari dalam labu itu keluar berbagai macam ular (terutama ular sendok) dan hewan berbisa. Mereka berdua lari ketakutan. Baik Ibu Tiri maupun Bawang Merah akhirnya menyadari sifat buruk dan ketamakan mereka. Mereka menyesali bahwa selama ini telah berbuat buruk kepada Bawang Putih dan memohon maaf pada Bawang Putih. Bawang Putih yang baik hati pun memaafkan mereka berdua. Alkisah di sebuah kampung, hiduplah seorang janda yang memiliki dua orang anak gadis yang cantik, Bawang Merah dan Bawang Putih. Ayah kandung Bawang Putih telah lama meninggal dunia. Bawang Merah dan Bawang Putih memiliki sifat dan perangai yang sangat berbeda dan bertolak belakang. Bawang Putih adalah gadis sederhana yang rendah hati, tekun, rajin, jujur dan baik hati. Sementara Bawang Merah adalah seorang gadis yang malas, sombong, suka bermewah-mewah, tamak dan pendengki. Sifat buruk Bawang Merah kian menjadi-jadi akibat ibunya selalu memanjakannya. Sang janda selalu memenuhi semua permintaan dan tuntutan Bawang Merah. Selain itu semua pekerjaan di rumah selalu dilimpahkan kepada Bawang Putih. Mulai dari mencuci pakaian, memasak, membersihkan rumah, hampir semua pekerjaan rumah selalu dikerjakan oleh Bawang Putih seorang diri, sementara Bawang Merah dan Ibu Tiri selalu berdandan dan bermalas-malasan. Jika mereka memerlukan sesuatu, tinggal menyuruh-nyuruh Bawang Putih. Bawang Putih tak pernah sekalipun mengeluhkan nasib buruknya. Ia selalu siap sedia melayani sang Ibu Tiri dan Saudari Tirinya dengan senang hati. Pada suatu hari Bawang Putih tengah mengerjakan pekerjaan rumah mencuci pakaian milik Ibu Tiri dan Saudari Tirinya. Akan tetapi Bawang Putih tak menyadari bahwa sehelai kain milik Ibu Tirinya telah hanyut terbawa arus sungai. Ketika Bawang Putih menyadarinya, ia sangat sedih dan takut bila diketahui hilangnya kain itu, maka ia akan dimarahi dan disalahkan oleh Ibu Tirinya. Bukan mustahil bahwa Bawang Putih akan dihukum bahkan diusir dari rumahnya. Khawatir kehilangan kain tersebut, Bawang Putih dengan gigih dan tekun tetap mencarinya sambil berjalan menyusuri sepanjang sungai yang berarus deras itu. Tiap kali bertemu seseorang di sungai ia selalu menanyakan apakah mereka melihat kain tersebut. Sayang sekali tak seorangpun yang melihat di mana kain hanyut itu berada. Hingga pada akhirnya Bawang Putih tiba di bagian sungai yang mengalir ke dalam gua. Ia sangat terkejut ketika mengetahui ada seorang nenek tua yang tinggal di dalam gua tersebut. Bawang Putih menanyai nenek tua itu mengenai keberadaan kain Ibu Tirinya. Nenek tua itu mengetahui di mana kain itu berada, akan tetapi ia mengajukan syarat bahwa Bawang Putih harus membantu pekerjaan sang nenek tua. Karena telah terbiasa bekerja keras, dengan senang hati Bawang Putih menyanggupi untuk membantu sang nenek merapikan dan membersihkan gua tersebut. Nenek tua itu sangat puas dengan hasil pekerjaan Bawang Putih. Pada sore harinya Bawang Putih berpamitan kepada sang nenek. Sang nenek itu kemudian mengembalikan kain milik Ibu Tiri Bawang Putih yang hanyut di sungai, seraya menawarkan kepada Bawang Putih dua buah labu sebagai hadiah atas pekerjaannya. Dua buah labu itu berbeda ukuran, satu besar dan yang lainnya kecil. Karena Bawang Putih tidak serakah dan tamak, ia memilih labu yang lebih kecil. Ketika kembali ke rumah, sang Ibu Tiri dan Saudari Tirinya amat marah karena Bawang Putih terlambat pulang. Bawang Putih pun menceritakan apa yang telah terjadi. Ibu Tiri yang tetap marah karena Bawang Putih hanya membawa sebutir labu kecil, ia kemudian merebutnya dan membanting buah itu ke tanah. "Prak..." pecahlah labu itu, akan tetapi terjadi suatu keajaiban, di dalam labu itu terdapat perhiasan emas, intan, dan p
