Kado Coklat Dari Kakek by Ruhul Aulia

Terik matahari menyinari kota jogja siang itu. Sangat panas terasa membakar kulit. Peluh bercucuran di pelipis. Ku usap perlahan. Perutku terasa lapar siang itu setelah pulang dari kantor. Sejak pagi aku memang belum makan apapun. Saat ku hentikan motor tepat di dekat lampu merah, tak sengaja mataku tertuju pada sebuah toko dunkin’ donuts yang berada tepat di depan Mirota Kampus. Ku lihat donat coklat yang sangat menggoda di etalase. Kuputuskan untuk membelokkan motorku dan marus ke toko tersebut. Ku beli 2 buah donat coklat. Untukku dan untuk anakku.

Setelah membeli donat, aku langsung melajukan motorku untuk pulang. Namun sayang, hari itu benar-benar macet. Aku terjebak lampu merah lagi. Aku merutuk kesal sekali lagi. Ku edarkan pandanganku untuk mencari celah untuk menyerobot. Namun, seketika itu juga aku terpaku. Tepat di sudut pinggir jalan yang begitu terik, ku lihat seorang pengemis tua duduk berpeluh sambil mengusap keringat yang bercucuran. Aku terkesima. Entah mengapa kurasakan perih yang begitu dalam merasukiku. Tiba-tiba, wajah yang selalu ku rindu merasuki fikiranku. Kakek.

15 tahun yang lalu…..

Aku pulang dengan wajah lesu. Tas punggung sobek bertengger di pundakku. Baju merah putihku juga masih melekat sempurna. Aku duduk di sebuah kursi reot depan rumah. Aku baru saja pulang sekolah. Rasanya benar-benar capek setelah berjalan kaki dari SD ku yang berjarak 2 kilo dari rumahku. Namun bukan itu yang membuatku lesu kali ini.

“ Onten nopo si ndok?” Tanya nenek yang baru keluar dari dalam rumah sambil membelai rambutku. Aku diam tak menjawab. Kulihat kakek duduk lesu di atas tumpukan kayu yang ada di depan rumah. Beliau baru saja pulang dari memulung plastic bekas. Beliau terlihat lesu. Ku gelengkan kepala.
“ Kamu lapar? “ Tanya nenek sekali lagi. Aku menggeleng sekali lagi. “Terus kenapa toh ndok?”
“Nanda mau coklaatttt…!!!” Tangisku mulai pecah. “ Tadi, temen Nanda ulang tahun. Terus papanya kasih hadiah boneka sama coklat. Huuu..uuu…!! Nanda pengen coklaattt…” Aku menangis dan merengek. Jika kalian bertanya mengapa aku merengek pada mereka, it karena aku tidak punya ayah dan ibu. Orang tuaku meninggal sejak kejadian merapi beberapa tahun yang lalu. Aku tinggal dengan kakek dan nenek yang rela mengangkatku menjadi cucu mereka. Kakek dan nenek yang sungguh sangat tua.

Kakek menatapku sedih. Begitupun nenek. Nenek mengusap air mataku .“ Jangan nangis toh ndok. Nenek sama kakek belum punya uang. Nanti ya….kalo kakek dan nenek sudah punya uang?” Ujar nenekku lagi berusaha menenangkanku. Diusapnya air mataku. Aku mengangguk perlahan.
“ Nanda mau ikut kakek mulung?” Tanya nenek. Aku mengangguk senang membuat gigiku yang ompong terlihat. Kakek tersenyum. Beliau berdiri dan mengambil keranjang tempat menaruh hasil memulung.

Aku dan kakek pergi memulung hingga menjelang maghrib. Hasil memulung kami hari ini cukup banyak. Kami pergi ke pengepul plastic. Kami mendapatkan 5 kilo. Kakek mendapatkan upah cuma 25 ribu. Kakek tersenyum tipis. Di gandengnya aku pulang. Saat kami dalam perjalanan pulang, kakek tiba-tiba mengajakku ke sebuah kios kecil. Nampak mencari sesuatu. Sesaat, beliu telah menggenggang sebatang coklat murah seharga 500 rupiah. Diambilnya 5 batang coklat dan merogoh kantong, mengambil uang 5000 an dan menyerahkannya kepada si penjual. Diserahkannya 5 batang coklat tersebut kepadaku. Aku sangat senang waktu itu. Aku tersenyum lebar. Beliau hanya tersenyum lembut kepadaku. Senyumnya memperlihatkan gigi ompongnya yang sama sepertiku saat itu. Hujan turun perlahan. Di payunginya aku dengan keranjang tempat menaruh hasil memulung. Sampai akhirnya kamipun tiba di rumah.

Keesokan harinya, kakek pun sakit. Kakek terkena demam. Kakek meninggal saat aku berumur 9 tahun. Dan kini aku sangat merindukannya.
Hari ini….

Aku masih terpaku. Entah mengapa air mataku tiba-tiba mengucur dari sudut mataku. Ku hapus perlahan. Sementara lampu hijau telah menyala. Ku belokkan motorku menepi. Banyak orang yang mencaci makiku karena hal itu. Namun aku tidak peduli. Ku hentikan motorku kemudian berjalan kearah pengemis tua tersebut. Ku dekati perlahan.
“ Kakek sudah makan?” Tanyaku kepada pengemis tua tersebut.
“ Belum nak….saya belum makan.” Ucapnya parau. Air mataku ingin meleleh kembali. Namun ku tahan.
“Ini ada donat buat kakek.” Ucapku tertahan sembari menyodorkan donat yang ku beli tadi. Kemudian aku mohon pamit dan pergi. Aku menangis tersedu-sedu. Jika seandainya itu adalah kakekku, betapa sedihnya aku. Ingin rasanya ku peluk dan ku ajak pulang. Menikmati uang hasil dari keringatku. Aku merindukan sosok itu. Ku tengok kembali kearah pengemis tua itu. Kulihat di bagikannya donat yang ku berikan kepada anak-anak kecil yang sedang mengemis di pinggir jalan. Ku hapus air mataku dan pergi melanjutkan perjalananku.

Healthy Cleanse

#1 The Candida Cleanse
The Candida Cleanse is designed to purge the excess yeast and fungus in your system. Choose between a 7-14 day diet of raw veggies and detox drinks or go hardcore and try the 3-7 day colon cleanse. It includes detox drinks, vegetable broth and colonic irrigation.

#2 The Apple Cider Vinegar Cleanse
Megan Fox swears by this simple cleanse. Mix 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar into 8 ounces of water and drink before every meal. It not only flushes toxins from your system but it suppresses your appetite to keep you from overeating.

#3 The Wild Rose Detox
People love this cleanse because it’s equal parts food and juice. Together with specialized detoxifying supplements, they flush toxins from your body and allow you to absorb nutrients more easily.
image#4 The Colon Cleanse
This is one of the quickest and most invasive cleanse programs out there. It’s also one of the oldest. It involves regular colonics to physically flush out the toxins. Stars like Oprah and Britney Spears swear by them.

#5 The Ritual Cleanse
This is one of the only cleanses designed to work with your workout. In addition to a number of natural cold-pressed juices, The Ritual Cleanse includes “Shred” juices. They’re designed to be taken before and after your workouts to boost your energy. It’s the favorite cleanse of stars like Kim Kardashian and Sofia Vergara.
image#6 The Clean Program
Gwenyth Paltrow was so into The Clean Program that she created her own version (The GOOP Cleanse). This detox features meal replacement shakes, supplements and whole-food lunches. It’s packed full of nutrients and designed to get your diet on track.

#7 Liquiteria
A long list of actors from Alec Baldwin to Chloe Sevigny swear by Liqueteria. And not just because it’s famous for increasing your sex drive. These natural cold-pressed juices are nutrient dense and available in a variety of cleanse programs designed to suit your lifestyle and dietary history.

#8 The Life Juice Cleanse
You can tell that the Live Juice Cleanse is working because you can feel it. These cold-pressed juices are delivered to your door frozen. Drink a few bottles a day and they work quickly to flush your system. Three to six day cleanses are designed to clean your colon to allow it to absorb nutrients more effectively.

#9 The Ultimate Tea Diet
This Tea Diet comes with a recommendation from Giuliana Rancic, the E! News host. It’s a 14-day cleanse in which you drink as much tea as you want along with three healthy meals designed to purge toxins and excess weight.
image#10 The Skinnygirl Daily Cleanse and Restore
Envy Bethenny Frankel’s figure? She accredits it to lots of exercise and the Skinnygirl Daily Cleanse and Restore program. The best part of this cleanse is that it’s a supplement that you eat along with healthy meals not instead of them.

#11 JuJu Cleanse
The best part about the JuJu Cleanse is that it’s quick: just one or three days. Order the pre-mixed juices online and you’ll be well on your way to a healthier you. The juice mixture focuses on restoring your body’s alkalinity and flushing the toxins (with a mild laxative) to hurry your body into a more natural state.
image#12 The Master Cleanse
This 10-Day Cleanse involves very few calories coming in and lots of toxins coming out — by way of cayenne pepper, lemon, maple syrup and a daily laxative. Beyonce swears by it and credits it for the 20lbs she dropped before “Dreamgirls”.
image#13 The Cooler Cleanse
The best thing about the Cooler Cleanse is consistency. Choose the flavors of green juice, fruit juice or milk drink that you enjoy. A wide variety of choices makes this tasty juice fast easy to stick to. And doorstep delivery means there’s no excuse to cheat on this 3 or 5 day cleanse.
image#14 The BluePrint Juice Cleanse
This popular cleanse takes the guesswork out of the equation. Choose the beginner, moderate or advanced level and BluePrint will deliver the juice to you. All you have to do is pick your flavors and drink the all-natural juice when it arrives. It’s foolproof.
