Eyang, Cucumu Merindukanmu!
Tiga hari yang lalu, aku membuka kembali lembaran foto eyang kakung dan eyang putri di album foto yang sudah lama tak tersentuh. Bersama bapak dan ibu, kita bercerita dan mengenang masa lalu. Eyang luar biasa jaya pada masanya, dengan rumah megah 1 hektare sebagai saksi perjalanan hidup mereka. Ku lihat bapak remaja di album foto itu. Terbesit di benakku, kira-kira apa yang bapak rasakan saat itu, ya, hidup bergelimang harta dan tahta mengingat eyang merupakan keturunan Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono VI yang masih menjunjung tradisi ningratnya.
Dulu sebelum bapak stroke, bapak selalu bercerita bahwa eyang merupakan salah satu orang terkaya di Semarang. Proyek telepon pertama di Semarang dan juga taksi borobudur merupakan contoh kecil dari sekian banyak gurita bisnis eyang saat itu. Bapak bilang, dulu setiap anak eyang—enam anak termasuk bapak—memiliki pembantunya masing-masing yang mengurus mereka dari kecil hingga besar. Jumlah pembantu, supir, dan pekerja di rumah eyang saat itu jika ditotal mungkin kurang lebih ada 30 orang, atau lebih?
Mereka sangat terpandang. Keluarga konglomerat. Keturunan ningrat. Dikelilingi orang-orang hebat. Ah sungguh nikmat.
Kini, baik eyang kakung maupun eyang putri telah tiada. Aku bahkan belum sempat bertemu mereka ketika aku dilahirkan. Berulang kali bapak bilang kalau aku mirip sekali dengan eyang putri, seperti reinkarnasinya, haha. Jujur belakangan ini pikiranku dipenuhi oleh mereka. Aku kerap berandai, apa jadinya bila mereka masih hidup? Apakah mereka akan menyukaiku? Apakah mereka akan mengajakku jalan-jalan bersama salah satu mobil mewahnya? Kata bapak, sih, eyang kakung dan eyang putri pasti akan sangat mencintaiku jika mereka masih hidup. Dan tentunya, semua keinginanku akan dituruti.
Hatiku meringis. Ya Tuhan, aku ingin sekali berbincang dengan eyang kakung dan eyang putri. Aku ingin bertukar pikiran dengan mereka. Lebih dari itu, aku ingin sekali melihat sosok mereka. Aku ingin mereka memelukku dan mengatakan bahwa aku hebat! anak bapak yang hebat! cucu eyang yang hebat! Tapi, bagaimana bisa? Kalaupun aku mati, belum tentu aku akan dipertemukan dengan mereka....
Eyang kakung, Eyang putri, halo! Aku putri dari putramu yang ke-empat. Aku bersaksi bahwa putramu merupakan bapak terbaik di dunia. Dia mencintaiku selayaknya dunianya. Dia selalu mengorbankan apapun demi keluarga. Dia tidak pernah menuntutku, memarahiku, membentakku, dan memukulku. Dia tidak pernah menyakitiku, Eyang. Terimakasih telah melahirkan putra seperti bapak.
Aku mencintainya dengan tulus. Aku merindukannya untuk dapat bicara kembali sebesar ia rindu untuk dapat bersatu kembali dengan kalian. Aku ingin kalian tahu, Eyang, bahwa bapak pantas mendapatkan seluruh kebahagiaan di dunia ini. Aku bersumpah bahwa orang sebaik bapak pantas mendapatkannya. Tolong do'akan putramu untuk segera pulih, ya, Eyang. Tolong bisikkan kepada malaikat di surga untuk membantu kesembuhan bapak.
Saat ini mungkin dunia sedang tidak berpihak pada kami, tapi aku janji bahwa suatu saat nanti, entah kapan itu, aku akan mengembalikan semuanya ke tempat di mana seharusnya berada. Dukung aku terus dari atas, ya, Eyang! Aku akan terus mendengarkan playlist Oldies Goldies untuk merasakan kehadiran Eyang di sini. Kata bapak dulu Eyang suka mendengarkan lagu-lagu American-English Pop 1960s-1980s di radio. Persis sepertiku juga, loh, Eyang! Hehehe.
Sudah dulu ya Eyang. Kapan-kapan aku akan bercerita lagi. Selamat beristirahat dengan tenang, Eyang Kakung dan Eyang Putri.
Much love,
Cucumu
