“RUMAH SUNYI YANG TAK MEMILIKI TUHAN (Pergulatan Batin Hang Tuah Sebuah Resonansi Metafisik) Hujan menitik dari atap reyot, jatuh perlahan ke lantai kayu seperti detak jantung yang tak percaya pada hidup yang masih tersisa. Kamera bergerak menyilang tubuhku, menangkap butir air yang tertahan di ujung rambut —seolah memori enggan jatuh karena tahu tanah tak lagi suci. Di sudut gelap, kulihat Jebat duduk membelakangi cahaya. Silau senjata di pangkuannya terasa seperti bisikan dingin yang tak pernah memilih kata. “Aku tidak memberontak,” katanya nyaris tak terdengar. “aku hanya menolak menjadi diam.” Namun Hang Tuah dalam diriku masih berdiri seperti batu nisan, teguh. Terlalu setia pada perintah yang bahkan tak lagi diyakini langit. Aku menoleh, dan dalam pantulan air yang menggenang kulihat dua wajahku sendiri: yang satu membeku, yang satu retak. Hujan di luar tak lagi turun— ia seperti menggantung di udara, ditahan oleh waktu yang membisu. Dan dalam hening itu, aku mengerti: bukan Tuah yang benar, bukan Jebat yang salah, bukan dunia yang memilih. Yang ada hanya jiwa yang mencari ruang untuk tidak patuh dan tidak pula membangkang, tapi sekadar ingin bernafas tanpa diadili oleh sejarah. Desember 2014”

“Rumble thy bellyful! Spit, fire! spout, rain! Nor rain, wind, thunder, fire, are my daughters: I tax not you, you elements, with unkindness; I never gave you kingdom, call'd you children, You owe me no subscription: then let fall Your horrible pleasure: here I stand, your slave, A poor, infirm, weak, and despised old man: But yet I call you servile ministers, That have with two pernicious daughters join'd Your high engender'd battles 'gainst a head So old and white as this. O! O! 'tis foul!”

“Rumi- He whispers into my ear, “Yes. Special—are YOU, and my love for you, Milady! All I want, is to love you more, each day. To be with you, each day. To bring you flowers and everything that brings forth your sumptuous smile. If it were within my reach, I would make each day special for you. He says with such effortless grace that I go weak in my knees. Roohi- Sir, if you would so permit, I would like a mouthful of your tranquil eyes, squidgy cheeks, and succulent lips. That would bring me smiles and much more.”

“Rumination in grief is a form of avoidance. We know - this is completely counterintuitive. As we talked about [previously], avoidance is when you work hard not to think about something. How could rumination possibly be a form of avoidance? Margaret Stroebe, Henk Schut, Maarten Eisma, and an array of their colleagues first suggested this 'rumination as avoidance' hypothesis and then did research to investigate it. There is a lot to say on this topic, but here's what you need to know: studies have found that grieving people will often ruminate on very specific aspects of their loss. This keeps their brains so busy with those very focused events or details that they don't have to face the even more difficult and painful aspects of their grief.”
