CINTO SULAT KABA LAMA!
Karya:
Dak Ujang (GY)
“Cring! Cring! Crinnnnnnnnnnnnng” loceng sekolah
pukul satu bobunyi lamo. Itu tando sesi pagi di TBS dah tamat. Dak
Ujang toghuih molughu poi ko bolakang lab bosobolahan Balai Tunku Besar Tampin.
Disitulah tompeh dio bosamo tigo ompek oghang budak-budak sesi pagi yang ado
mato air budak sesi potang bojumpo sokojap. Anak-anak jantan bujang kochik macam
Dak Ujang yang baghu tumbuh taji sompek iyolah monaikan syok batin dalaman sokojap
sobolon menaiki bas sekolah yang dah sodia monunggu kek sobolah pintu masuk
sekolah.
Dak Ujang ko ni? Atau Ghazali Yasin? peristiwo kek Tonyamor dokek Tanjong.
Kek bolakang lab itulah tompek budak-budak momboghi
atau monoghimo sughat cinto masing-masing. Itu yang jonih bogani. Kok tak ado
sughat pun dapek sembang-sembang, golak kotawo dan main mato pun jadilah.
Moncuit yo anak gimau masing-masing.
Ado yo kenkawan yang bocintan-cintan tak
bogani nunjuk dopan-dopan. Jonih tu topaksolah guno bantuan daghi budak junior
kito untuk sampaikan sughat kek awek masing-masing. Bilo jumpo bosoliseh di mano-mano
tompek yang gamai di kawasan sekolah masing-masing buek dek yo, seolah-olah tak
ado apo-apo hubungan antagho mereka. Itulah yang tojadi kek senior Dak Ujang
yang dipangge eh Abang Kab yang monjalin
hubungan sonyap-sonyap dongan AiKay budak Padang Sebang yang ado igheh-igeh
Seniwati Saadiah maso mudo-mudo dulu. Abang Kab tu pongolek dan nak jago namo
sobab dio prefect. Tompi kek Dak Ujang tak dapek deh nyughok an rahsio eh doh.
Sokileh ikan di air dah tau jantan botino eh. Itulah tajamnyo goghak hati Dak
Ujang tu!
Bilo Dak Ujang merapati Dak Uwok kek situ
toguih dio ditanyo ‘Bulih tak kito jumpo
this Saturday?’
Alamak, komap bona aka pikeran Dak Ujang masa
itu sobab haghi tu dah Komih. Cumo ado satu haghi sotongah yo lai nak kotiar caghi
duit.
Topike kek Dak Ujang ‘bilo ado maso nak caghi duit nih. Sekughang-kughang eh sopuluh inggit mesti
ado dalam tangan baghu cukup nak bawak Dak Uwok ko Molako’.
Nak heghet kek Tampin yo tak bulih. Pokan
Tampin tu kochik bona. Dak Ujang takut oghang kampung atau sodagho dio dan Dak
Uwok kok ado yang nampak nanti. Lai pun
kek panggung wayang Pearl dan Cathay tu gamai bona kenkawan sekolah yang nengok
wayang cheap matinee haghi Sabtu. Kok tengok wayang kek situ gusak
program. Kono kacau daun yo nanti.
Ponah satu kotiko dulu bilo dio tengok wayang
dongan Dak Uwok kek Panggung Pearl kerusi eh kono tondang kek budak bosa yang
duduk bolakang Dak Ujang. Maso tu Dak Ujang baghu nak cubo-cubo lotak an tangan eh kek bahu Dak Uwok. Apo lai, tokojut
bosa Dak Ujang dan toghuih hontok iyolah
macam tikuih jatuh ko bogheh!
Dek tak ondak nak lopehan poluang Dak Ujang
pun jawab ‘Ok, good idea sweetheart. This
Saturday Uwok tunggu kek bus stand Tai Lye sobolah gerai Cino songau yang jua gokok
tu dalam kul 9 pagi. Uwok naik bas dulu. Bilo bas nak jalan baghu Ujang naik
tau’.
Sambil monguitkan bulu koning kek Dak Uwok Dak
Ujang pun toghuih bojalan monuju kek bas Eng Giap yang sodang monunggu kek
pintu bosa sekolah untuk mongangkut budak-budak yang tingga di Repah, Jeram,
Air Mawang, Renggoh, Johol dan sejauh Kualo Johol.
Dalam bas 44 pasengger tu ponoh boghimpit macam
sardin. Laluan tongah bas tu pun budak-budak kono bodighi. Macam-macam jonih
bau. Ado yang masam. Ado yang hapak. Yang hanyir macam bau ikan haruan pun ado.
Dan bilo ado yang tokontut mang ai macam tikuih mampuih bau eh. Solalu yang
suko buek kojo molopeh angin busuk tu Chalat. Bilo budak maghah kek dio apo jawab
eh ‘Eden yang gugi tak gaduh. Ekau yang
dapek untung pulak yang heboh!’.
Sepanjang perjalanan pulang tu bas yang dinaiki
bogoghak polahan yo. Kojap-kojap bas
kono boghonti bilo loceng dibunyikan untuk monughunkan budak sepanjang jalan tu.
Kok Bang Kudran yang mawak bas tu elok sobab dio tak brek mongojut. Tompi kalau
Bang Zakaria Sumbi Omeh yang mawak alamat bolago macam nak tosungko budak-budak
yang bodighi tomasuklah budak pompuan.
Kadang-kadang tergesel punggung Dak Ujang
dongan punggung budak pompuan yang samo-samo bodighi. Tompi itu sumo tak jadi
hal kek dio doh. Bagi Dak Ujang walau dimano dio berado ingatan dio totap fokus
kek Dak Uwok. Walaupun ado kenkawan yang ngobaan yang Dak Uwok tu tongget dan debab
sikit tompi daghi kacomato Dak Ujang Dak Uwoklah gadis yang paling cantik dalam
dunio ni. Dio anggap Dak Uwok tu macam
Puteri Jannatunnaim datang dari syurga! Cukup maghah Dak Ujang bilo ado budak yang
ngejek dio yang Dak Uwok tu gopong dan Dak Ujang kughuih macam cicak kubin!
Bilo sampai kek ghumah lobih kughang puko duo
sotongah potang Dak Ujang toguih goncang tabung buluh tompek simpan duit siling
dio. Dio cungke-cungke dapek yolah dikumpokan
dalam soinggit. Itulah sado eh! Tibo-tibo poning kopalo Dak Ujang momikekan macam
mano cagho eh nak nambah sombilan inggit lai!
Tongah monyuap nasi Dak Ujang topike macam-macam
helah. Satu cagho, bulih mintak kek omak eh. Dak Ujang akan katokan ado kelas tambahan haghi Sabtu. Campo duit tabung dio akan
ado duo inggit. Dak Ujang kono yo caghi lapan inggit lai. Nak poi moncaghi tolo
itek kek sawah dopan ghumah tu tak mungkin ado lai sobab bukan musim monuai
maso tu. Tak lamo dulu bojooh Dak Ujang dapek bojua tolo itek Ochu Sinap yang
solalu membuang tolo kek sawah omak Dak Ujang!
Lopeh yo makan Dak Ujang mundar mander koluar
ko dalam daghi dapo ko soghambi, dagi soghambi ko dapor balik. Gelagat Dak
Ujang macam oghang tak boghapo senter! Maso tu omak eh ado kek laman tongah
nyomo mughan. Mongiut lantai papan ghumah eh yang jungkang jungkit tu bilo dipijak
kek Dak Ujang. Omak eh ghalit yo monyolosaikan padi yang lombab tu untuk dijomo.
Dio tak highau langsung kojo yang dibuek kek Dak Ujang di ateh ghumah tu doh.
Tibo-tibo todotik hati Dak Ujang nak ninjau
bilik Abang Yah kek pangka ghumah. Abang Yah guru lepasan SITC Tanjung Malim
yang baghu mongajar duo tahun kek Sekolah Datuk Undang Kamat di Ulu Nuri tak
ado ghumah maso tu. Dio ado di sekolah molatih pasukan bolasepak untuk masuk pertandingan
akhir antagho sekolah-sekolah peringkat Kuala
Pilah. Dalam hati Dak Ujang ‘Eloklah ekau
tak ado kek ghumah ngang. Kok ado susah yo den nak buek kojo!’.
Masuk-masuk yo kek pangka ghumah tu toboliak bosa
biji mato Dak Ujang. Dio tonampak sulat kaba lama botimbun kek sudut tiang
sobolah mejo study Abang Yah. Kopalo Dak Ujang yang lonjong macam buah kana tu toguih
ghengan. Tak ado lai gaso kusut masai doh.
‘Wah,
ini sulat kaba lama banyak bagus. Thank you very very much Bang Yah oi. You have
saved my life lah!’ bisik hati Dak Ujang.
Bilo dapek joki topijak tu, Dak Ujang pun tak
lengah-lengah lai doh. Dio toghuih koluarkan timbunan sulat kaba lama tu dan diikek
kuek-kuek. Mongengkeh dio monaikan sulat kaba tu ateh bosika nak poi jua kek kodai
Haji Suman. Hai, logo, logo boto-boto kopalo Dak Ujang. Duit yang dicaghi-caghi
tu dah gerenti dapek. ‘Botuah kau Dak Uwok. Sulat kaba ni joki kito. Bang Yah, you
are marvelous, marvelous. Thank you brader for ‘langganing’ the newspaper!’.
Sambil mongayuh basikal ko kodai Dak Ujang
bodendang-dendang macam oghang mabuk. Dio topokek tololong monyanyi lagu ‘Termenong’ nyanyian Jeffidin yang
monjadi siulan anak mudo maso tu. Sapo yo yang dio jumpo habis ditogo eh. Dak
Ujang ni memang poghamah budak eh dan dio suko amek-amek bokawan dongan oghang
tuo-tuo. Antagho kawan baik dio kek kampong tu Pak Cik Yatim Molaya, Abang Aziz
Montegheh, Bang Mansor Yankee dan Pak Cik Bachik Bulin. Boghompek tu solalu main dam dongan Dak Ujang kek
kodai Suboh lopeh dio balik sekolah. Kek Renggoh tu tak ado sapo yang dapek mongalahkan
Dak Ujang. Bojooh boto Dak Ujang solalu dapek makan bolanjo dio oghang.
Bilo sampai kek kaki Bukit Pulai yang tinggi togak
sobolah kobon gotah cino Ling Kong, ayah kawan sekolah se Lau Kin Kah yang
duduk kek pokan Air Mawang tu, Dak Ujang topaksolah tughun. Monchungap-cungap
deh monolak bosika sambil monyanyi-nyanyi lagu ‘Bulan dan Juga Angin’ pulak. Lagu nyanyian P. Ramlee dan Normadiah
tu memang kogomaan Dak Ujang. Senikato lagu tu sungguh bermakno. Bilo
dinyanyikan dongan penuh perasaan Dak Ujang togaso seolah-olah dio dapek
menyampaikan gaso ghindu eh kek Dak Uwok melalui angin yang lalu!
Asrama TBS
Tibo-tibo tokojut bosa Dak Ujang bilo Tok Dukun
Wahab Kocopong koluar susuk sasau daghi somak kek topi jalan tu. Mungkin dio tughun
daghi ateh bukit tu moncaghi ughek kayu untuk
dijual. Tok Dukun botanyo ‘Wah, banyak
surat kobar ekau bawak ni Jang?’.
Jawab Dak
Ujang ‘Ado yo sikit Tok Dukun. Bang Yah
se sughoh jua ni’.
Tok Dukun Wahab Kocopong yang tokona hebat dongan
ilmu firasatnyo tu sonyum yo deh bilo nonga jawapan daghi Dak Ujang tu. Agak eh
dio tau yang Dak Ujang dah pomongak an dio!
Sampai kek kodai Haji Suman sulat kaba tu ditimbang.
Bulih tahan yo boghek eh. Dio kono guno ponimbang yang bosa. Alat ponimbang kochik
tak naik mato daching tu doh. Haji Suman
kigho dongan sompua eh dan boghitau ‘Sumo
eh lapan inggit limo puluh sen Jang’.
Dak Ujang tak cakap apo-apo. Tosengeh yo deh bilo
toghimo duit banyak tu. Yang sen-sen eh
tu dapeklah Dak Ujang boli gulo kicap, minam
sobotol air sarsi Long Chan dan makan kueh sokoping kek kodai Suboh yang
tolotak sobolah pokok kuwinin bosa kek simpang jalan Renggoh botontangan dongan
jalan nak poi ko Kampung Payo tu.
Bilo Dak Ujang kayoh basikal maso balik ghumah
dio topike ‘dapek lapan inggit kono bagi
duo - dapek ompek inggit soghang. Ompek
inggit campo duo inggit yang ado masih lai
kughang ompek inggit nak bagi cukup
sopuluh inggit!’.
Bilo sampai ghumah Dak Ujang pun kono susun kotiar
baghu. Dio pike elok diboghosihkan bilik Bang Yah dan seterika sekali baju dan soluar Bang Yah yang
bolon bolipek lai tu. Mintak-mintak kang bilo dio tengok bilik eh boghosih dan
baju soluar dio dah bogosok Dak Ujang pike takkanlah dio nak ambik ompek inggit
bahagian dio tu doh!
Osah, jerangkap samar Dak Ujang mongono. Bilo Abang
Yah balik tengok bilik eh bogosih dan baju eh dah elok bogosok Bang Yah nampak sonyum
giang. Dio boghi Dak Ujang ompek inggit . Sambil mongambek duit tu Dak Ujang golak
dalam hati eh ‘haghi ini kau kono lai kek
den Yah oi. Nasib kau lah!’.
Bilo dah dapek ompek inggit tu Dak Ujang
kobaan kek Bang Yah yang surat kaba eh dah dijual. Dio pun acah-acah hulurkan
duit tu kek Bang Yah yang luguih bondo bona-bona. Apo jawab Bang Yah ‘ambiklah kek kau Jang’. Dak Ujang jawab ‘Mokasihlah Bang Yah’.
Sambil koluar daghi pangka ghumah tu Dak Ujang
tosengeh dan dalam hati eh mongoletek togolak soghang-soghang sambil bokato pompolahan
‘Osah, cikgu sokolah ni bangang yo gupo
eh. Sonang yo den ngakaan ekau!’.Waduh! Handa kau Dak Ujang.
TBS hari ini. Agak eh waktu adegan sulat kaba lama dulu gimanolah TBS?
Pagi esok tu dio koluar ghumah pakai unifom sekolah
– baju putih soluar putih. Sampai di Tampin Dak Ujang kono tukar pakaian. Mano
tukar baju dan soluar? Kek tandas busuk bas stand Tampin. Mano simpan baju dan
soluar tu? Kek kodai buku Mustafa. Itulah satu-satunya kodai buku oghang Melayu di Tampin
bosompadanan pokan Pulau Sebang.
Bilo solosai tukar pakaian Dak Ujang pun bagi
signal mintak Dak Uwok naik bas Tai Lye yang nak botolak ko Molako. Dak Uwok
duduk kek tongah-tongah bas. Bilo bas bogoghak yo Dak Ujang pun naik bas dan
toghuih duduk bolakang sokali. Bilo Dak Ujang dah yakin tak ado oghang yang dio
kona ado dalam bas tu baghulah dio poi duduk sobolah Dak Uwok.
Kok bas tu belok ko kighi dio botahan koghehkan
bodan eh. Bahu Dak Uwok pun monghimpit bahu Dak Ujang. Bilo bas belok ko kanan Dak
Ujang lopehan bodan eh pulak sampai toghasak bodan Dak Uwok yang montok tu kek
dinding bas. Kok Dak Uwok botanyo sesuatu kek Dak Ujang, kok dio donga pun dio buek
tak donga dan mintak ulang balik ‘I beg
your pardon. I can’t hear you!’. Camtulah gagam anak bujang yang ibarat ayam
jantan baghu bolaja bokokok dan solemo pun baghu kogheng tu. Lupo deh yang dio tu masih bujang sunti lai.
Dio ingat dio dah bosa panjang.
Sampai kek bas stand Molako tak ado gisau hati
Dak Ujang doh. Apo tidak eh, bawak Dak Uwok duit dalam poket ado ompek boleh
inggit – tomasuk singgit yang dapek yo dio kechek kek omak eh. Bukan sajo dapek
makan nasi sodap, Dak Ujang bawak Dak Uwok nengok wayang sambil makan kuci.
Lopeh tu sompek makan air batu bandung dan poi duduk lepak-lepak kojap kek pantai
Bandar Hilir.
Kek bangku bosi tompek koduo anak bujang dan
dagho sunti tu duduk tak ado sapo pun yang halang. Duo insan yang asyik
mengelamun tu kombang kompih hongap eh. Kok tak ado idea yang nak dibughakkan
masing-masing berhayal yo monahan perasaan dalaman yang moluap-luap. Sosokali kedongaran suasano sunyi itu
diganggu oleh siulan burung tattibau, hembusan angin laut yang menderu-deru, ombak
yang berdosau-dosau memukol pantai. Merpati mudo duo sejoli itu terus bercengkerama
tak soda-soda deh doh yang molekat Riduan ado di kighi bahu dio oghang asyik
monulih doso-doso yang dibuek eh!
Sungguhpun dah dokek duo jam Dak Ujang dan Dak
Uwok duduk kek topi pantai tu masih gaso tak pueh lai. Kok bulih dio nak bosamo
Dak Uwok duduk di situ sampai malam. Tompi apokan dayo. Dak Ujang dan Dak Uwok
kono balik ko Tampin sobolon puko ompek. Kok tidak nanti tolopeh pulak bas last nak balik kampong. Paghah jawab eh!
Yang mana satu yang namo eh Dak Ujang? Maco sulat kaba lamo ko?
Sampai di Tampin Dak Ujang dan Dak Uwok kono tughun
kek Klinik Dr. Sulaiman kek Pulau Sebang. Kalau tughun kek bas stand takut tonampak
pulak kek oghang yang kona koduo eh. Coghito tu nanti sampailah pulak kek omak
ayah masing-masing. Golo dek eh!
Semaso bojalan kek kaki limo tu Dak Ujang ajak
Dak Uwok bogamba kek kodai Silver Star studio. Dak Ujang dapek moyakinkan Dak
Uwok untuk bogamba ‘Walau pun kito ni masih
sekolah lai Uwok oi tapi kito kono simpan gamba kito boduo untuk buek
konang-konangan. Kok tak jumpo pun tak apo. Bilo nengok gambar ni nanti hilang
yo gaso ghindu kito kan!’. Dak Uwok sonyum tosipu-sipu yo. Dio ngikut
yolah.
Lopeh bogamba masing-masing balik. Si dagho balik
ko Koto dan si bujang ko Renggoh. Dalam perjalangan pulang tu Dak Ujang bopike
macam ado sontohan ajaib pulak yang dapek kek dio. Apo tidak eh, Dak Ujang
heran jugak bilo topike ‘Syukur,
Alhamdulillah. Kok tak ado sulat kaba lama ni mungkin tak dapek bawak Dak Uwok
ko Molako!’ bisik hati Dak Ujang.
Dalam tigo haghi gamba tu pun siap. Dak Ujang
simpan satu. Dak Uwok pun simpan satu. Mano lotak eh gamba tu? Dak Ujang bubuh
kek colah buku dalam almari kochik tompek dio konon-konon eh bolaja dan buek kojo sekolah. Tapi hapah pun tidak!
Lopeh makan malam Dak Ujang pun duduk kek mejo
study eh. Kek omak eh memang Dak
Ujang molanca buku sungguh-sungguh. Apo yang dibuek kek Dak Ujang? Dio asyik
monatap gamba dio samo Dak Uwok pueh-pueh. Sobolon tido sompek dicium eh gambar
tu bodosut-dosut dan lopeh tu dibubuh bawah banta dongan harapan dapeklah deh
jumpo Dak Uwok dalam mimpi. Bilo bangun tiap-tiap pagi bosiap nak poi sekolah
gambar tu dilotak balik kek colah buku tompek simpanan biaso.
Satu potang Dak Ujang tongah popisatan baghu
bangun tido. Tibo-tibo dio todonga sogho kawan sekolah eh, si Along, mange namo
eh. Dio pun poi napek an Along kek tango ghumah eh. Along liar yo mato eh mandang
ko kighi ko kanan moghatikan kok ado omak atau abah Dak Ujang kek situ. Bilo
dio yakin sapo pun tak ado kek situ si Along bobisik polahan kek Dak Ujang ‘Jang, gamba kau boduo dongan Dak Uwok ado topampang
dalam frame kek kodai Silver Star Studio’. Bodoghau daghah Dak Ujang
tibo-tibo. ‘Ah, botokoh Long’ tanyo
Dak Ujang. ‘Iyo’ jawab Along sambil
geleng kopalo.
Dak Ujang mulo golisah. Panik pun ado. Dio
bopike macam manolah cagho eh nak mintak tokeh kodai gamba tu jangan bubuh
gamba tu kek luar. Malam tu memang Dak Ujang tak dapek tido. Macam-macamlah
kemungkinan yang topike dalam kopalo otak eh.
Pagi Sabtu esok eh tu Dak Ujang pun poi
copek-copek ko Tampin. Konolah dio pinjam duit daghi Along untuk baya boli
gamba saiz potret yang dah dilotak an dalam frame kek coghomin pameran kodai
gamba tu. Si Along tu kawan sotio Dak Ujang. Along ni anak sulung. Dio yo soghang
anak lolaki. Ompek yang lain sumo eh pompuan. Dio ni boduit dan anak kosayangan
abah eh yang jadi Guru Besar kek Sekolah Kebangsaan Nuri.
Bilo Dak Ujang mintak nak boli balik gamba tu
tokeh Cino tu tanyo dio ‘Itu bukan lu
punya bini kah?’.
Dak Ujang jawab ‘Bukan. Itu gua punya tunang la. Kita balu tunang mana bulih bubuh itu
gambar depan. Nanti dio punya abang tengok bulih malah dan hantam sama gua tau.’
‘Itu
macam lu baya tiga linggit lo’ kata tokeh Cino
tu.
Dak Ujang tak tawa lai doh. Dio toguih baya
dan solosailah satu lai bab masaalah eh.
Bokawan dongan Dak Uwok tu mongasyikan bona Dak
Ujang. Sungguh pun tak lamo lai nak pekso MCE dio langsung tak highau nak baco
buku. Bilo dapek bojumpo Dak Uwok giang amek-amek deh. Kok tak jumpo mati kutu.
Bilo soghang-soghang Dak Ujang asyik hayal sambil mononung gamba Dak Uwok.
Homework Mathematics kek ghumah tak ponah
buek. Maso bilo dio buek? Bilo sampai yo di sekolah sobolon locheng bunyi.
Macam mano bulih siap? Sonang yo. Dak Ujang salin yo buku Lam See Chan. Bilo
cikgu pekso sumo eh rite dan tak ado yang salah eh doh. Mr. Lee Meow Chin yang
ayah eh ado kodai BATA kek pokan
Pulau Sebang tu cumo sain yo dan catitkan dalam buku kojo sekolah Dak Ujang ‘Very
Good’ solalu. Tompi bilo pekso ponggal atau pekso bosa Maths tak ponah pass!
Akhir eh apo jadi kek Dak Ujang oi? Pekso tokolucheh
mato air pun molopeh. Gamba dio boduo dongan Dak Uwok yang totingga bawah banta
tido dan tolupo nak lotakan balik kek colah buku tompek simpanan biaso tu pun dah
losap. Bokolensan dio monchagik eh tapi tak yo jumpo-jumpo. Nak tanyo kek
omak-abah eh tak bogani bukak mulut. Dak Ujang buek diam yolah!
Bilo tak pass pekso apo kato omak eh ‘Nasib
kaulah Jang. Payah-payah bona esok ekau mintak jadi askar yolah. Dapek yo omak
alaun bulan-bulan. Kok kau nikah kawan kau pun dapek alaun. Masuklah askar Jang.
Dulu omak katoan kek kau bolaja, bolaja. Ekau doge. Topulanglah kek kau Jang. Sekolah
lai dah ado nyai dan pandai bogamba pulak tu. Kok tak ondak masuk askar ekau
motong yo!’.
Donga sindiran omak eh tu Dak Ujang ontok yo.
Sepatah haram dio tak monjawab. Dak Ujang pun tau yang gambar dio dongan Dak
Uwok tu omak eh dah tojumpo dan sughukkan.
Dak Ujang
naik ateh ghumah pompolahan. Sobolon poi ko dapo nak monyolongkar tudung
saji sompek yo dio ninjau kek pangka tompek tido Abang Yah eh.
Bokato Dak Ujang dalam hati eh ‘Hai, sulat kaba lama banyak lagi!. Tapi apo
jadah eh. Dak Uwok dah dapek kek oghang lain!’.
Nak dihombuih an ‘Sogomput Gayo’ ayat tosirat
yang baghu Dak Ujang nuntut kek Puan Saebat tu kek ubun-ubun Dak Uwok tak ado
poluang. Masaelah eh dio tak dapek nak ngajak Dak Uwok koluar nengok wayang kek
Molako lai.
Dari kegagalan episod cinto eh dongan Dak Uwok
tu dapeklah Dak Ujang meghasokan bagaimano sekso dorito yang dialami oleh Zainuddin bilo lamaran dio
untuk monikah dongan Hayati tidak ditoghimo sebagaimana yang dikesahkan dalam
novel ‘Tenggelamnya Kapal van der Wijch’
karya Hamka yang sudah berulang-ulang kali dibaco oleh Dak Ujang. Malah impian
Dak Ujang bilo dio mati nanti supayo kubur eh bosobolahan dongan kubur Dak Uwok
pun tak mungkin terjadi.
Dak Ujang yang kughuih kogheng macam oghang
kono tibi tu mengoluh panjang ‘Sungguhpun
hidup si Zainuddin dorito sekurang-kurang eh dio dapek yo disomadikan bersobolahan
dongan kubur Hayati. Tompi tak apolah Uwok. Kok kau jadi jando baranak ampek
sokali pun Dak Ujang sanggup ambik ekau nanti!’.
Akhirnya, Dak Ujang bernekad untuk ninggakan
kampong dan merantau jauh bagi mengubek an hati dio yang terluko tu. Mungkin
ado hikmah disobalik kegagalan cinto dio dongan Dak Uwok itu. Sobolon Dak Ujang
poi ko Pulau Pinang, Bang Yah, yang solalu bona kono akaan kek Dak Ujang ponah nyobut
kek sodagho dio ‘Mintak-mintak Dak Ujang
ni jadi oghang lah!’ Wallahualam!
I have the feeling I know this teenage girl Aikay. Is she really from Padang Sebang or the witer is trying to confuse the lot. C'mon Dak Ujang. U can't fool us. The initial seems familiar but the place is probably not Padang Sebang in Tampin but somewhere in Ghombau!
ReplyDeleteBanyak toboto konangan manis timbo lam pikiran se maco kesah Dak Ujang ni. Tontang bang Yah kawan baik se dunio akhirat selalu kono aka an kek si kancil. Padang bas Tampin ngan tandeh busu bokoladak eh. bas Tai Lai, pantai esplanade Melako, belakang Makmal yang sekarang dah jadi Galari TBS, dan last but not least dak AiKay yang comel loteh tu.
ReplyDeleteSympatiser, you salah AiKay tu. Dari Tanjung Ghimau pun ado yo sorang. Yang Gombau tu pun AK kan AiKay doh co yu pikir lekelok! aab!
Dak Ujang, tahniah atas kejayaan kesah kau yang mengeletek pinggang se. Nostalgik toboto kesah kau ni dan sungguh menghiburkan dan sungguh menampak kan betapa resourceful nya Dak ujang demi parasaan halusnya terhadap Dak Uwok sanggup berbuat apo sajo, asal hajat terlaksano. syabash Jang oi. Dah di akar an abang Yah eh, pandai pulak ngambik ati bang Yah eh balek! Sungguh klassik!
ReplyDeleteSo, AK and AiKay are two different individuals. This Dak Ujang must be a genuine Romeo, mengalahkan Romeo daripada era Shakespeare. I would say then Dak Ujang was more romantic than the Romeo character of "Selendang Sutera Buat..." And the has-been era of Tampin Bus terminal "dengan aromanya yang membuatkan hidung kembang kempis." Also I would not miss the Southern Bas Number plate N 4050.Last but not least, the Pearl which screened the P. Ramlee's films. Ungkuh eh Dak Ujang ini kocik-kocik lado api. Tentu "barang" musti best punya. ZA, your recent showing off your physique fitness in the Group's TBSST FB is nothing compared to the prowess of Dak Ujang, the Kancil. And so does CLA the school thin-legged runner of 1960's. Dak Ujang was indeed creative in making use of old antics like sulat kaba lama to create his own perfect "romantika" image stealing two tender-age hearts. If this Dak Ujang was a women she would have been dubbed as a nymphomania.
ReplyDeleteFilms in the west always have women characters uttering this cliche "is he good in bed" when two women describe their partners' sexual relationship. Dak Ujang must be good then.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I know AiKy dari Tanjong Ghimau itu namo eh AK kan, anak station master ktm dan AK di Ghombu itu anak bokeh Tok Montori Tanjong.Duo-duo putih molopak. Tak macam ese birat macam kulit ciku.Itu sobab eh I did not have that many male friends in TBS.Anyway Congratulations Dak Ujang. Your story has the plot the Hindustani way of meeting two persons in love, without the songs. I love the way you jumped into the bus seconds before it took off and strategically sat yourself at the very back of the bus before checking in at her side. And then it goes before saying. Hands holding firm, bodies swaying around even though the Thye Lai Bus was moving straight on the road.Dag-dig-doog jadinya. Woow, what a story to remember.AAB you must have this kind of Romeo-Juliet story in TBS. Why not give us one classic example. And so has our Tn Presiden kito with his Sheila's provocative gestures. We, women, love to read this kind of episodes, especilly while we were in TBS.
ReplyDeleteSympathiser, in TBS I dont have such mind provoking and romanticising episodes. I was too timid to indulge myself into such pranks.
ReplyDeleteIn TBS I was SS only. It was after TBS that I started dating a girl from KGV. But loh this love stint of mine did not last. You can read about this in Beneath Cool England Skies. The SS episode also could be read in Tampang. Please brows the Archive. Youll find it there.
While in kampong again I admired very much my front door neighbour. Never the less it did not work out. Again I was too timid to make advances. So I remained a silent admire till today, like FY. Such is the nincompoop aab!!!
Sympathiser, mang boto apo yu kato tu, yang tanjung Ghimau tu puteh melopak yang tanjung Gombau tu pun puteh melopak macam tahu lombek yo. Duo duo hebat. Kok yu baco toboto Dak Ujang kan bedek doduo eh doh. dak Ujang bedek yang Tanjung Gombau tu yo. Yang AiKay tu GF bang Kab eh!!!
ReplyDeleteIndeed, Bang kab kenen that girl from Tanjong Ghimau while Dak Ujang was trying to kenen the lass from Tanjong Ghombau. I wonder what happened next to the duo of bang kab-Aikay and the other duo of Dak Ujang-AK. Both girls come from the same Tanjong, the only difference is one from Tanjong Ghimau and the other Tanjong Ghombau. And the story goes.... Sources from the Group's FB mention that Dak Ujang has settled in KJ, while bang kab unknown. AiKay is said to have settled in Kluang as we picked up the story via Tampang. AK settled overseas I supposed. What a thrill and my sympathy to the duo pair!
ReplyDeleteSympathuser, Bang Kab eh lari ko Juho baru mawak hati nan luko laro. Jumpo og heh nijam. Kokal sapai ke syurga in ShaAllah, tu lah cito eh.apo yang yu tulis kek ateh tu sumo boto dah. Dak Uwok lari mawak diri dan berado DIBAWAH LINDUNGAN KAABAH YANG MULIO TU. Hebat hebat!!!
ReplyDeleteTalking about these duo pairs of Bang Kab-Aikay and Dak Ujang-AK. Much have been said about the pair. The problem is the story created more problem than solving it. For instance abuaman fadzil mentioned bang kab mawak diri ko Juho dan AK berhijrah ko Bawah Lindungan Kaabah. Bang Kab budak senior, prefect pulak. AiKay mirip Saadiah waktu udo. Dak Ujang sang kancil cili padi somontagha AK pulak comel loteh, jugo putih molopak. I'm not sure how the story developed. I read many times this episode by Dak Ujang and that makes me more "pening kopalo". The initials for the main characters do not give enough clues to identify the aweks and the jejakos. At this juncture as Bang AAB mentioned in the above comment the duo pairs are living happily ever after with their own partners. One in Juho, one in Kluang, one in KJ and the other under Lindungan Kaabah. Will someone please fill up the blanks fo me and solve the jigsaw puzzle. Probably Abang AAB could continue with the sequel.
ReplyDeleteDak Ujang, are you hinting this episode of yours has got something to do with one of the previous episodes linking two Malay Film characters Labu dan Labi?
ReplyDeleteFY, there is nothing to,poning kepalo about. The duo,pair did not make it to the bridal dais. Sumo,tak kesampaian. Cam cito romeo dan juliet lah, cam cito udo dan daro, drama UA, cam hayati dan zainuddin lam cito pak hamka. Bang kab jumpo SH eh kek JB. They got married and blessed with three lovely children. Dak Ujang settled in Kolo Joho, after exiling himself to penang. Yag kek koluang tak tau, yang di bawah lindungan Kaabah yang Agung tu pun aab tak tau development diorang. Itu yo lah yang se buleh nolong eh!
ReplyDeleteIf I am not that inquisitive, who in the world is this SH, Bang Kab's lovely wife.Are the three cildren grown up and I wish I know how many grandchildren do they have. I also wish to know more about that AK from the Lindungan Kaabah. It is rumored that she got married to a foreigner. Is it true. Dak Ujang from KJ was well known for his sang kancil antics in TBS and now that he is settld, he must have amassed a lot of experience after since taking along the sulat kaba lama to Melaka. As for you yourself Abang Abuaman fadzil, is it true that this name is a combination of two romeo prefects in TBS before. One was so timid and shy while the other a little arrogant but slightly charming. Just tell him, "janganlah perasan pulak."
ReplyDeleteLa FY, SH tu short form for Manis Jantung. Yuo ni kan FY nak torang torang bona cam sinaran mato hari tongah hari. Sodangkan you maseh berselindung di sebalek FY. Kalau FY nak tau the exact thing FY kono give in lah sikit. Bang Kab eh ado tigo orang anak. Sumo dah kawin. Cucu eh ado semilan orang kok tak silap. Wbp anak sulong eh dah meninggal. Cito Dak Uwok tu boto lah tu.
ReplyDeletehow can you say slightly charming. He is charming especially his smile as you so testified. Both of them are not romeos, oh no FY that is too much of an accusation. Do you term aab romeo. He never advanced anybody. He was SS only . He never disturbed any girl. Not even you hah! Please be fair ah sh.
Now "the weather is clear" and the jigsaw puzzle seems to have fitted in. The problem is that it does not solve the problem, but created further insinuation, something like creating mental infliction to some one you know who Abang AAB. I am sure you know what I mean. This sulat kaba lama involves yet another controversial TBS lass nicknamed "Selendang Sutera".Please remember my role was just minor being a dispatch person, so the story goes.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I just read Tn Presiden's remark regarding "we are not gentleman enough" for not revealing our identities. You too Abang AAB also said so. That's not funny.People use to say what's in the name.Where we live and how we come to know about TBSST Group do not matter. The essence is in the assumption that you know we know or vice versa. This is not an ungentlemanly act. We opt to anonymous. and for the fact that we have nicknames, like Faithfully Yours, Sympathizer, Mikuuman, Kich Moor etc. is testimony that we are indeed serious in what we sand have been doing. It's just a matter of perception. The truth lies in whether we care for the Group or otherwise and this is being interpreted by the financial contribution towards making Suatu Ketika Di TBS a success, come 1st January 2014.
So Please, Tn Presiden, Abang AAB, refrain from talking about being not gentlemanly enough or not playing the name of the game. We are at par on all aspects, nothing less, but to have fun and "bohibo" as Tn Presiden truly said in his recent comment with regard to Awaluddin's unfinished story. Abang AAB, do not, I say it again, do not stoop too low by inserting your name as nincompoop or SS. As far as I know SS stands for Salleh Simon, that ex-TBS who likes to live in the world of "Born Free" or Hashim Mustafa who still maintains his orchard of Kundang, even though there is not a kundang tree has been planted for umpteen years in his New Village.
As people use to say about Abang Abu: You are a gem. Do not forget that. To GY, I just want to recollect the two phrases you mentioned lately: SH and Jantung Hati. What's the difference. Do your differentiate beween SH and Jantung Hati. Which is more dearest to you: SH or Jantung Hati. I'm inclined to choose Jantung Hati is utmost in your mind. After all you and your jantung hati has lived 40 years together. My salam to your Jantung Hati, whoever she is. She must have been the luckiest awek to have a cowok like GY a.k.a Dak Ujang! How I wish I have had such a wonderful family set-up.
FY, the comment above is very well written and I think very thought provoking. gem apo eh FY, gem si kudung. Apo tak nincompoop eh tu, mopati omeh dah inggap kek bahu pun tak dapek nyokau eh! Anyway let's us leave it at that ok.
ReplyDeleteThat your contributions and your hopes for Suatu Ketika Di TBS is very certainly laudable indeed. Thank you once again! Take care SH!!!
FY is right. You are a gem and not a ninkompoop from Timbaktu. So pleasse maintain your standard and integrity abuaman fadzil. My only question is how come your name is abuaman fadzil.When I ask my friend who is a member of the group, he shows me this name and the blog. So you must be two persons and this blog was created by the two of you. When my friend scrolls down the membership list, I notice two names, one Abu Aman Bachik and the other Ahmad Fadzil Yassin.Am I right?
DeleteI just could not believe that Dak Ujang has the mind of Sang Kancil "yang aka-an oghang bosa macam gajah dan boyo". Now that you have settled just a few miles from my kampong in Miku, you must be in the world of your own, having dusun, ternakan ayam itik and sawah to attend to. You are returning as a kampong boy and probably you have all the time in the world retrospecting the distant past. After reading your "cerpen" or whatever name you call it, over and over again, I am still puzzled as the way you created the storyline, based on actual facts. It was no dream and neither Dak Awok and Dak Ujang had been romantically linked since both of you were in TBS. This sulat kaba lama lingers deep in my mind for a just and fair clarification. In fact, I wish to point out that sulat kaba lama is the most determining factor that binds your desirous fantasy to be close with your Dak Uwok. My question then is what happens to Dak Uwok and have you ever seen her lately.
ReplyDeleteNormally, when you were in love, it was very difficult to part, not even a single second. Don't tell me that you just forget the whole romantic dream of yours with Dak Uwok, just like Bang Kab, who was supposed to "mawak diri ke Juho". I would say it would rather be far-fetched if you insisted on saying that there was "tak ado bondo" with this girl. Another question is how come Faithfully Yours was so inquisitive asking questions about Bang Kab and his SH from Tanjong Ghimau? What about Bang Yah, the man linked to AAB. I just don't understand.Perhaps you can clarify this part of the story and please do not end the story with a cliff-hanger.
By the way, your cerpen is as good as your line of thinking, smooth and "tidak botoghabor", but a little immature when it comes to story telling. However, I am thrilled to hear that you are embarking on writing a novel. I suggest you use Dak-Ujang-Dak Uwok as the main characters while maintaining the "sulat kaba lama" story line.
In one of the comments, Faithfully Yours made comparison between the current Dak Ujang family life with that of Faithfully Yours. Don't tell me that Faithfully Yours is not having a normal family life.I am bent to believe that Sulat Kaba Lama has opened a new horizon in GRUP TBSST's current standing. It is becoming an important social bond among members and non-members alike.
Mikuman, thank you very much fo the evaluation above. Its such a thrill to read. It is indeed well written and thought provoking. Its no wonder its from Mikuman.
ReplyDeleteBut one small thing that aab is not happy about is the phrase immature story telling, why is it you think so Mikuman. In what way is it immature? How would you go about telling it? Thank you Mikuman!!!
Bang yah was kawan tido sebantal dengan aab. While in school he was my only closest friend. dak Ujang's family is very closely associated with aab. bang Yah was one year my senior.
Dak Ujang deeply appreciates Mikuman’s sincere comments posted in Tampang. He also feels happy that Surat Kaba Lama has ‘opened up a new horizon in Grup TBSST’s current standing’ and that it is fostering ‘an important social bond among members and non-members alike’.
ReplyDeleteWow! Susah mau caya lo! If true it certainly makes Dak Ujang feel like wanting to throw himself inside a pool, as he never anticipated such positive and pleasant reactions from readers towards his cerpen. TQVM Mikuman. Dak Ujang hopes that your moral and financial support towards ‘Suatu Ketika di TBS’ will further motivate him to start working on his romantic novel.
By the way, Dak Ujang do not quite understand why you describe his narrative as ‘immature‘. Is it because there are no complicated twists and turns in the plot?
And also, Dak Ujang does not wish to stretch the story to present times. Lobih2 lai revealing apo juo untung nasib yang tojadi kepado Dak Uwok, Abang Kab dan Abang Yah. Never mind that some of our friends have already done some guess work as to the identities of the characters! What matters most is not the identity of the characters, but the essence of the story - of childhood innocence, narrated with a touch of humour.
Dak Ujang, Dak Uwok, Abang Kab, AiKay dan Abang Yah mempunyai untung nasib sendighi yang sudah ditentukan oleh Ilahi – masing2 hidup bahagio. Seghupolah macam coghito Natrah dan Cikgu Mansor Adabi – walau pun suatu ketiko dulu pernah monjadi ‘suami-isteri’ tetapi terpaksa dipisahkan disebabkan keadaan yang tidak mengizinkan maso tu. Bilo Natrah menghadapi masaalah rumah tangga dan mengadu hal kepada Mansor – tak dapek dio (Mansor) nak nolong doh sobab sudah mempunyai isteri dan anak2. There is no possibility of making a dead past come alive. Bagaimana pun, kisah joman dulu kalo mempunyai makno totontu kepada kami semuo. Pengalaman manih tu koka abadi sampai akhir hayat! Kok kami bojumpo pun tak sontoh pun kesah2 lamo. Kito akan bocakap pasal anak-cucu dan kisah somaso sochago general. Masing2 dah jadi togheh! Mengenai observation Mikuman yang the story ends with a cliff hanger, Dak Ujang's real intention is to leave the rest of the story to the imagination of the readers. Just like in some English movies with an abrupt ending!!!
Jadi Mikuman, Faithfully Yours dan Kich Moor – mokasih banyak2 atas pandangan ikhlas dan sokongan positif daghi sodagho sumo. Kito bokawan dan anggaplah bosodagho. Jemputlah ko pondok Dak Ujang di Kualo Johol (yang tidak boghapo jauh daghi Miku) pada Hari Raya nanti. SELAMAT HARI RAYA EIDUL FITRI – MAAF ZAHIR BATIN!

Den ghaso ponilaian yang dibuek Mikuman yang mongataan coghito Dak Ujang tu adalah subjektif, hanyo ikut cito ghaso Mikuman. Kalau kito tanyoan pondapat oghang lain mesti bobezo. Den pon minat jugak maco karya sastera ini toutama yang ditulis oleh Usman Awang dan A Samad Ssid. Ado jugak yang ese baco karya keduo-duo oghang tokona ini tak soboghapo kalau dibandingkan dongan misal eh karya Anwar Ridhuan atau Zakaria Ali. By the way Zakaria Ali tu oghang kampong den itu. Jadilah tak ado salah eh doh kalau ado yang kato coghito Dak Ujang itu "immature". Kalau kito boto-boto nak objektif nak 100% pasti kito kono monilai karya macam Matematik berdasarkan fakta. Apo kato kenkawan yang lain. Kito bukan kah entitiled to our own opinion and evaluation when it involves the elements of fictions and fantasies."
ReplyDeletePelangi Petang should not be defensive or emotional. We are evaluating creative stories based on fictitious storyline even though the characters might be some real persons, living a normal life and inhaling real air.Just take things easy the way they were. No love lost and neither no hate lost.
ReplyDeleteDaghi segi penulisan botolah tu. Memang tak dapek dinafikan doh. Kalau dibandingkan dari segi penulisan karya Dak Ujang dengan karya penulis-penulis terkenal seperti Usman Awang, A. Samad Said, Anwar Riduwan dan Zakaria Ali memang jauh bezo eh – ibarat langit dongan bumi. Tengoklah si ZAK tu – bekas profesor di Pusat Pengajian Ilmu Kemanusiaan di USM (bokawan yo dongan Dak Ujang maso dio samo2 kojo kek USM dulu – malah duduk se taman kek Seberang Jaya) – dio mengambil maso kok tak silap 9 tahun untuk menyiapkan novelnya Empangan. Dak Ujang ni cumo tak tido 2 malam yo dan terlalu banyak lai yang dio kono bolaja. Mokasih Waghih Kg. Batu dan Anonymous!
ReplyDeleteOne of my friends who is an ardent follower of the Grup TBSST Facebook informed me of the various comments commenting over my remarks that Dak Ujang's Sulat Kaba Lama was immature. And Pelangi Patang should be too emotional about that remarks. I insis that evaluating fiction does involve subjective denominations. And everyone is entitled to his or her opinion. Anybody can say the story was at par with those written by national writers then, by all means please do so. I do not mind in the least.
