Crackers Jengkol the Edge of The Beach

Painan Beach, West Sumatera

For most of Melayu Etnich did not wilt in Bangka, in Jambi, South Sumatra or in or anywhere else, to give the title to someone like is a necessity, so do not try to act funny or doing crazy things that are not fair then the title of best will stick for life and never regret because that is the culture that formed naturally. Even when we just became the most reticent though certainly there will be embedding the great honors that they would give. In my village is very remote, it is not uncommon for people to not even know the real name of the owner of the title because everyday they just call like-like title. Dashing young men there who called chicken legs are great simply because it does not pacak play football, some are called Bengap just because the ear is often less alert welcomes incoming messages carried by the wind into his eardrums.

So do not be surprised at my age of just 24 years of my degree is more than the president of a university. Degree that a lot of it makes me not so enthusiastic welcome sarjanaku title. In the village even many who do not know that my name be taken off the market so gallant, Hendra Saputra, ah dashing once, but who cares because they call me everyday Teraut, Teranai. The name of the actual history associated with the name of the market, it's known trade names are certainly a lot of wear. Teraut was more or less a term for people who have a lot of skin diseases, especially tinea versicolor teraut then so be it play on the word scratching, while teranai is a pun on the Malay word hick Manai designation for those who like to eat chili. This title is inadvertently passed to me because of the title of the first person is inexplicably given a name by his mother with me so that I was practically illegal catch title. Then be calling teraut even some that call David. And they began to forget that I ever diMarhabankan as the dashing market, rather they do not want to know. I'm flattered by that name, thank you.

However different milieu vocation at home a little more respectable foreskin, the neighbors called me too. That's okay because I'd rather be called teraut painful than that. Foreskin is more or less the way the Malay boys call the old, while boys usually called Bujang next. The foreskin is a representation for all forms of love and honor, although sound in terms of biology rather less wear. Foreskin is respectful of those who call the smaller brother to the old, because the next brother can no longer be called the foreskin but called brother. Foreskin also repsentasi of the dominant. Then all eyes on the words of the foreskin is something positive until I heard a song called The Foreskin jambi released in DVD format, then all the positive outlook began to fade.

It turned out in my village foreskin foreskin is not the same as in other places in some areas in Jambi. For them the foreskin is any negative byword, the foreskin is a term for people who have designed will be obsolete flunky, the foreskin is also a term for those who are always ill-fated, had debts everywhere, had no apparent way of life, the foreskin is also a term for them who have spiritual suffering unbearable due never considered in association with the opposite sex, rejected many times, but still no shame. The foreskin is the figure left wall face time. I deliberately quote a song that you did not suspect that I had to manipulate the results of the Human Observation puraku pretend this time:

The foreskin deck bachelor oi Jauhari
Banamo fiance dream girl
're Kurindu're gone
You soar in the clouds

On another song also contained the lyrics:
Ado namonyo footman rang the foreskin, babaju becelano narrow field
Road swing wide around kudo braids
Ilir waist flaunt upright homecoming
oi oi foreskin lah lah si si bachelor lapok
Babini boy crew fiance in ambek kanti
oi si lah nak foreskin kemano you now
Batang Hari river huluan children

Hear the poems that my heart whole, pride in the name of the start broken home. So like destiny that name as a symbol of all forms of minor things, then he's also really good at looking for the true heir of that name who will inherit all forms of inner suffering, become obsolete flunky who did not sell-sell. He's looking from a distance huluan Batang Hari river reach 180 KM to meet in a remote country called Tanjung Agung which is not listed in this map, could Captain Jack Sparrow's compass he used to find me. I do not know man, but clearly now I have a sudden the bear's name complete with a set destiny that be footman weathered breast bengeknya.
But I rebelled, I want to have that name with reverence but I resisted that fate. I'll tell you one thing, it comes from the word DESTINY qodar the Arabic word that gets THA tanis letters in front of it so changed to Fate, I tell you again that the letter THA further ahead suggests ficil Madi means something that has been passed or in the language England it can be called Pas Tense. Syarih then its meaning can be called that destiny it is something worth mentioning when he had passed, meaning that when everything is worth fighting for has not happened yet and may be changed. So there is no term surrender to fate, there is no term if people say that poverty is destiny that he received.
You do not mind to ask where I can that theory, too, and you do not have to wonder about right or wrong, take the positive side it is enough that we have to fight for something and change something that will be called destiny. Regardless of whether or not similar things I've ever heard from a preacher that God will not exceed Fate sunatullah, meaning someone who is destined sunatullahnya also running rich if the attempt, sunatullahnya smart people learn. So for me, too, the name of the foreskin will I bear with pride but I'm not going to sue the Lord one day and said my situation as fate because all depends on my effort, in other words I will never believe in the myths that make no sense because I'm a true Muslims.
Name foreskin that makes me become the majority in my village, even in Indonesia, I was also the majority for many things, I like the ball like most Indonesian people despite the fact that not only knows how to play ball and clever berkomenter then I became a majority. I was unemployed graduate so I did the majority because the majority of scholars in this country suffer the same fate as me. I had acne so I that's why the majority of ads acne cleaning products mushroomed in this country. But in West Sumatra because I was the minority a lot of things anyway. Minang people in Jambi is a common thing but people in West Sumatra, Jambi clear minority because most of the students who are just trying to earn a science here. I do not have a partner so I was a minority because most people my age here have a spouse, even though I waited almost a decade. It is kind of redundant if I call a decade but it was not on TV advertising beauty products is also difficult to distinguish between the 30s by the age of 40, not if we logikakan age of 37, or 38 are in their 30s and well ahead of the 40 juga.Entahlah negligence or intentionally disarm the audience somewhat less alert and tricked into buying. Outright lied but no one protests, as well as my scientific authority to take the last decades should no one complains.
I called the foreskin during the minority because I was here most people called Uda. then I was a bit surprised when there is a boarding-kosanku sister started calling me uda. Da Hen, hmmm sweet too. at least it's proof that after nearly a decade I was grazing at the Padang credibility minangku language began to be recognized, in addition to that I also was tired of being a minority and want to get back to being the majority of the Da Hen call was enough for me to push up position after a minor in many ways. Call it increasingly familiar in my ears and I was familiar.
Until one day a Kosku sister called, "Da hen pie samba awaklah bali, cheap yellow curry ado but lamak a bana ko". Ears to hear the word cheap my students quickly catch up and moreover there are faint sounds of words that cheap yellow curry was also good. Finally I follow this exciting offer, students are always looking for a cheap and if possible the maximum discount. I am amazed that the place is just a post similar to a cottage near my home boy, just a stone's throw from the beach, but do not ask how many cars are parked in front of him. Call yellow curry with traditional cooking utensils pots evaporate kind fragrance. It does not seem wrong, if not impossible place is crowded.
Not to mention missing the shock due to the many cars lined up in front of the shop is a little bit better than this decrepit apparently I'm more surprised by the friendly service that has pointed out, initially I was a bit reluctant to buy in small quantities. It's not much choice here but it does invite the yellow curry taste, ah West Sumatra is food paradise. We just wrapped curry of the day, and it turns out it was a different sensation comrade, low prices even just half the price of others make my lunch this time it feels good. Blend of spices and coconut milk typical Minang cuisine that welled although proportional to the increase in patients with hypertension remains an attractive option. Yellow sauce which excites it makes me always want to tell you about the food.
There are two things I liked the most in the country this Nurbaya Midun and Siti, first explore the country for the sake of the country as well as tasting delicious dishes are very famous. I'm now at the center of good food, and even a version of rendang that according to the news agency of the world into the most delicious food center here. So while I'm here wants tasted everything, so it's no wonder I always know where to eat at an affordable price in this city, I never ate at the most interesting places on the foot of Mount Marapi, in the Tarab River, Tanah Datar there even know where to eat the rice cake good in Bukit Tinggi, I assure you that I'm taking you comrades would say that's the most delicious rice cake you've ever tasted, admit it.
I've also tasted the food at Rumah Makan luxury in this city every time had come open together with my friends, even the Japanese restaurant that I think the only one here already I visit more than once. But the teriyaki sauce that sounded pretentious did not fit with belly sumateraku. My stomach was lackluster because since the first did not really like sweet foods and soft, I could not sleep that night in addition to the thought that the price was almost double the standard price, it turns my stomach can not be asked to compromise, Japanese food that has been unpacked and runs secret identity and who I am in fact, that I was the dorky hick town that did not fit with the modern food especially

Kerupuk Jengkol di Pinggir Pantai

Puncak Langkisau, Painan, Sumatera Barat

Bagi sebagian besar orang melayu tidak di Belitong, di Bangka, di Jambi, ataupun di Sumatera Selatan atau di mana pun, memberi gelar kepada seseorang seperti sudah merupakan keharusan, maka jangan coba-coba bertingkah aneh atau melakukan hal gila yang tidak wajar maka gelar terbaik akan melekat seumur hidup dan jangan pernah sesali karena itulah budaya yang terbentuk secara alamiah. Bahkan ketika kita hanya menjadi orang paling pendiam sekalipun sudah pasti akan ada penyematan gelar kehormatan akbar yang akan mereka berikan. Di kampungku yang pelosok sangat itu, bahkan tidak jarang orang tidak mengenal nama asli sang pemilik gelar karena sehari-hari mereka hanya memanggil gelar suka-suka. Pemuda gagah ada yang dipanggil ayam potong hanya karena tungkai yang besar itu tak pacak bermain sepakbola, ada juga yang dipanggil Bengap hanya karena telinga sering kurang awas menyambut pesan yang masuk dibawa angin ke dalam gendang telinganya.

Maka tak heran di usiaku yang baru menginjak 24 tahun gelarku sudah lebih banyak daripada rektor sebuah universitas. Gelar yang banyak itu membuat aku tak begitu antusias ketika menyambut gelar sarjanaku. Di kampung bahkan banyak yang tidak tahu bahwa namaku begitu gagah diambil dari pasaran, Hendra Saputra, ah gagah sekali, tapi siapa peduli karena sehari- hari mereka memanggilku Teraut, Teranai. Sejarah nama ini sebenarnya berkaitan dengan nama pasar itu, maklumlah nama pasaran pasti banyak yang memakai. Teraut itu lebih kurang sebutan bagi orang yang memiliki banyak penyakit kulit terutama panu maka jadilah teraut itu pelesetan dari kata menggaruk, sedangkan teranai merupakan pelesetan dari kata Manai sebutan orang melayu udik bagi mereka yang suka makan sambal. Gelar ini secara tidak sengaja dialirkan padaku karena orang yang pertama menyandang gelar ini entah kenapa diberikan nama oleh emaknya sama denganku sehingga aku pun ketularan gelar ilegal secara praktis. Maka jadilah panggilan teraut bahkan ada juga yang memanggil daud. Dan mereka pun mulai lupa bahwa aku pernah diMarhabankan dengan nama pasar yang gagah itu, lebih tepatnya mereka tidak mau tahu. Aku tersanjung dengan nama itu, terima kasih.

Namun berbeda di lingkungan pergaulan panggilanku di rumah sedikit lebih terhormat Kulup, maka tetangga-tetangga memanggilku pun demikian. Tak apalah karena aku lebih suka daripada dipanggil teraut yang menyakitkan itu. Kulup lebih kurang merupakan cara orang melayu memanggil anak laki-laki paling tua, sedangkan anak laki-laki berikutnya biasa dipanggil Bujang. Kulup merupakan representasi bagi segala bentuk kasih sayang dan kehormatan, walaupun bunyinya dalam istilah Biologi agak kurang mengenakan. Kulup merupakan panggilan hormat dari mereka yang lebih kecil terhadap kakak laki-laki paling tua, karena kakak laki-laki berikutnya tak boleh lagi dipanggil kulup akan tetapi dipanggil abang. Kulup juga repsentasi dari hal yang dominan. Maka segala pandanganku tentang kata-kata kulup adalah sesuatu yang positif sampai aku mendengar sebuah lagu jambi berjudul Si Kulup dirilis dalam format DVD, maka semua pandangan positif itu mulai pudar.

Ternyata kulup di kampungku tak sama dengan kulup di tempat lain di beberapa daerah di Jambi ini. Bagi mereka kulup adalah segala bentuk pameo negatif, kulup adalah sebutan bagi orang yang sudah dirancang akan menjadi bujang lapuk, kulup juga sebutan bagi mereka yang selalu bernasib malang, punya utang dimana- mana, punya perjalanan hidup yang tidak jelas, kulup juga sebutan bagi mereka yang memiliki penderitaan bathin yang tak tertanggungkan akibat tak pernah dianggap dalam pergaulan dengan lawan jenis, ditolak mentah-mentah berkali-kali, tapi tetap tak punya malu. Kulup adalah sosok muka tembok yang ditinggalkan zaman. Sengaja aku kutip sebuah lagu agar kalian tak curiga bahwa aku telah memanipulasi hasil Human Observasi pura-puraku kali ini :
Si Kulup dek oi bujang Jauhari
Tunang banamo gadis idaman
Sedang kurindu kaulah pergi
Kau membumbung tinggi di awan

Pada lagu lain juga terdapat lirik :
Ado rang bujang namonyo si kulup, babaju lapang becelano sempit
Jalan melenggang macam main kudo kepang
Ilir mudik tegak pinggang menjual tampang
oi lah si kulup oi lah si bujang lapok
awak nak babini tunang di ambek kanti
oi lah si kulup nak kemano kau kini
anak huluan sungai batanghari

Mendengar syair- syair itu hatiku luruh, kebanggaan atas nama itu mulai berantakkan. Maka seperti takdirnya nama itu sebagai simbol segala bentuk hal-hal minor, maka dia juga pandai benar mencari pewaris sejati dari nama itu yang akan mewarisi segala bentuk penderitaan bathin, menjadi bujang lapuk yang tak laku-laku. Dia mencari dari huluan sungai Batanghari yang jaraknya mencapai 180 KM untuk menemuiku di sebuah pelosok negeri bernama Tanjung Agung yang tak tertera dalam peta ini, mungkinkah kompas Kapten Jack Sparrow yang dia gunakan untuk menemukanku. Entahlah kawan, tapi yang jelas sekarang aku yang sudah tiba-tiba memikul nama itu lengkap dengan seperangkat takdir bujang lapuk yang menjadi tetek bengeknya.
Tapi aku memberontak, aku mau menyandang nama itu dengan penuh rasa hormat tapi aku menolak takdir itu. Aku beritahu kau satu hal, kata TAKDIR itu berasal dari kata QODAR dalam bahasa arab yang mendapat huruf THA tanis di depannya sehingga berubah menjadi Takdir, kuberitahu lagi lebih jauh bahwa huruf THA di depan menunjukkan FI'IL Madi artinya sesuatu yang sudah berlalu atau dalam bahasa Inggris dapatlah disebut Pas Tense. Maka maknanya secara Syarih dapat disebut bahwa takdir itu adalah sesuatu yang layak disebut ketika dia sudah berlalu, artinya ketika belum terjadi semuanya layak diperjuangkan dan dapat dirubah. Maka tak ada istilah menyerah pada takdir, tak ada istilah jika orang mengatakan bahwa kemiskinan yang dia terima merupakan takdir.
Tak usahlah kau tanya darimana aku dapat teori itu, dan tak usah jugalah kau tanya tentang benar atau salahnya, cukuplah ambil sisi positifnya bahwa kita harus berjuang untuk meraih sesuatu dan merubah sesuatu yang akan disebut takdir. Terlepas dari benar atau tidaknya hal senada pernah aku dengar dari seorang ustad bahwa Takdir Allah tidak akan melampaui Sunatullah, artinya seseorang yang ditakdirkan kaya jika sunatullahnya juga berjalan yakni berusaha, orang pintar sunatullahnya belajar. Maka bagiku pun demikian, nama kulup itu akan kupikul dengan bangga tapi aku tak akan menuntut Tuhanku atas keadaanku suatu saat dan mengatakan sebagai takdir karena semua tergantung usahaku, dengan kata lain aku tak akan pernah percaya dengan mitos-mitos yang tidak masuk akal karena aku seorang muslim sejati.
Nama kulup itu membuat aku menjadi mayoritas di kampungku, bahkan di Indonesia aku juga mayoritas karena banyak hal, aku menyukai bola seperti kebanyakan orang Indonesia meskipun sebenarnya tak pandai main bola dan hanya pandai berkomenter maka aku pun menjadi mayoritas. Aku adalah sarjana pengangguran maka aku pun mayoritas karena mayoritas sarjana di negeri ini bernasib sama denganku. Aku berjerawat maka aku juga mayoritas karena itulah iklan produk pembersih jerawat menjamur di negeri ini. Tapi khusus di Sumatera Barat aku adalah minoritas karena banyak hal pula. Orang Minang di Jambi adalah hal yang lazim tapi orang Jambi di Sumatera Barat jelas minoritas karena sebagian besar hanyalah pelajar yang mencoba mengais ilmu di sini. Aku tak punya pasangan maka aku pun minoritas karena sebagian besar orang seumurku di sini memiliki pasangan, walaupun sebenarnya hampir satu dekade aku menunggu. Memang agak berlebihan kalau aku sebut satu dekade tapi bukankah iklan produk kecantikkan di TV juga kesulitan membedakan antara usia 30-an dengan usia menjelang 40, bukankah kalau kita logikakan usia 37, atau 38 adalah usia 30-an juga dan menjelang 40 juga.Entahlah itu kelalaian atau sengaja melucuti penonton yang agak kurang awas dan tertipu untuk membeli. Dibohongi mentah-mentah tapi tidak ada yang protes,begitu juga wewenang ilmiahku untuk mengambil kata dekade tadi semestinya tak ada yang protes.
Aku dipanggil kulup selama ini maka aku pun minoritas karena di sini umumnya orang dipanggil Uda. maka aku agak terkejut ketika ada salah seorang adik kos-kosanku mulai memanggilku uda. Da Hen, hmmm manis juga. setidaknya itu bukti bahwa setelah hampir satu dekade aku merumput di Padang ini kredibilitas bahasa minangku mulai diakui, di samping itu aku juga sudah capek menjadi minoritas dan ingin segera kembali jadi mayoritas maka panggilan Da Hen itu cukuplah bagiku untuk mendongkrak posisi setelah minor dalam banyak hal. Panggilan itu semakin akrab di telingaku dan aku tak asing lagi.
Sampai suatu hari seorang adik kosku memanggil,"Da hen pai bali samba awaklah, ado gulai kuning murah tapi lamak bana ko a". Mendengar kata murah telinga mahasiswaku berdiri dan menangkap dengan cepat apalagi ada samar terdengar kata-kata bahwa gulai kuning murah itu juga enak. Akhirnya aku ikuti tawaran menarik ini, mahasiswa memang selalu mencari yang murah dan kalau bisa diskon sebesar-besarnya. Aku terkejut ternyata tempat yang dimaksud hanya merupakan sebuah pondok mirip pos pemuda dekat rumahku, hanya sepelemparan batu dari pantai, namun jangan ditanya ada berapa banyak mobil yang parkir di depannya. Panggilan gulai kuning dengan alat-alat masak tradisional semacam Belanga menguapkan aroma harum. Sepertinya ini tidak salah, kalau tidak tak mungkin tempat ini ramai.
Belum lagi hilang keterkejutanku akibat banyaknya mobil yang berjejer di depan warung yang agak sedikit lebih baik dari reot ini ternyata aku lebih terkejut lagi dengan pelayanan ramah yang ditunjukkannya, awalnya aku agak segan membeli dalam jumlah sedikit. Memang tak banyak pilihan di sini tapi gulai kuning itu memang mengundang selera, ah Sumatera Barat memang surganya makanan. Kami hanya membungkus gulai hari itu, dan ternyata sensasi rasanya memang berbeda kawan, harga murah yang bahkan hanya setengah harga yang lainnya membuat makan siangku kali ini terasa nikmat. Paduan rempah-rempah serta santan kental khas masakan minang yang berlinang-linang meski berbanding lurus terhadap meningkatnya penderita Hipertensi tetap menjadi pilihan menarik. Kuah kuning yang menggairahkan itu membuat aku selalu ingin bercerita tentang makanan itu.
Ada dua hal yang paling aku suka di negeri si Midun dan Siti Nurbaya ini, pertama menjelajah negeri demi negeri serta mencicipi masakan-masakan enak yang sangat terkenal itu. Aku sekarang berada di pusatnya makanan enak, bahkan rendang yang menurut versi sebuah kantor berita besar dunia menjadi makanan ternikmat itu pusatnya ada di sini. Maka selagi aku di sini ingin kucicipi semuanya, maka tak heran aku selalu tahu tempat makan dengan  harga terjangkau di kota ini, aku pernah makan di tempat paling menarik di kaki Gunung Marapi, di daerah Sungai Tarab, Tanah Datar sana bahkan tahu tempat makan lontong paling enak di Bukit Tinggi, aku jamin kawan kalau kuajak kau akan mengatakan itulah lontong ternikmat yang pernah kau cicipi, akui sajalah.
Aku juga sudah mencicipi makanan di Rumah Makan mewah di kota ini setiap kali terpaksa ikut buka bareng bersama teman- teman, bahkan restoran Jepang yang aku pikir satu-satunya di sini sudah aku kunjungi lebih dari satu kali. Namun saus teriyaki yang terdengar megah itu tak cocok dengan perut sumateraku. Perutku loyo karena memang sejak dulu tak begitu suka makanan manis dan lembek, malamnya aku tak bisa tidur di samping karena memikirkan harga yang nyaris dua kali lipat harga standar itu, perutku ternyata memang tak bisa diajak kompromi, makanan Jepang itu telah membongkar habis rahasia dan identitas serta jati diriku sebenarnya, bahwa aku adalah orang kampung udik norak yang tak cocok dengan makanan modern apalagi makanan impor.
